Despite the lack of range, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music goes down as 2 Chainz’ strongest LP to date and will become a reference point for anyone curious about how the towering rap star can service their turn-up needs.

Pitchfork
This is the culmination of an eight-year second-wind. It’s also the most complete 2 Chainz album to date, and places him where he belongs: in the upper echelon of rappers from this era.

Exclaim!

Pretty Girls Like Trap Music is the Southern vet's most fully formed record to date, building on the spirit and sonics of last year's Daniel Son; Necklace Don and Hibachi for Lunch to paint a portrait of Chainz then and now, leading two very different lifestyles yet unequivocally himself.

AllMusic

Inconspicuousness notwithstanding, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music is among Epps' most significant and enjoyable work.

PopMatters

His fourth studio album, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music, isn’t just a testament to endurance, it’s one of the year’s best rap albums and a blueprint for graceful aging in an industry that prizes youthful excitement and innovation.

XXL

Although a bit reliant on features, resulting in lost opportunities for 2 Chainz to really dig deep within himself and give the listeners more of Tauheed Epps the man, Pretty Girls Like Trap Music is an explosive collection of songs that showcases the colorful rhyme animal at the top of his game.

There’s no galactic change to his style here, just a further refinement of it.

2 Chainz has stepped up his game on ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’, while he hasn’t explored the trap genre quite as much as he could’ve in the album’s hour-long duration, the effort is prevalent, and the execution is deadly.

Clash
While it doesn’t quite have the same urgency as ‘Based on a T.R.U. Story’ or ’T.R.U. REALigion', ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ is perfectly positioned to be a 2017 favourite catering to both fans of this generation’s trap music and those that were knee deep in trap during its late ‘90s/early ‘00s inception.

2 Chainz delivers a phenomenal album with zero misses. For a while I discounted 2 Chainz as most people do. He always seemed like a go to features artist and not much else. I heard his 2019 album "Rap or Go to the League" and actually enjoyed it quite a bit but I never seemed to go back to it in hindsight. I was pretty excited all things considered though to go into this after seeing the rave reviews and I can't say I was not impressed.

The production is top of the line with actually ... read more

an underrated and untalked about trap project that has some insane bangers. Highly recommend to any trap fan.

This stuff is very good. Best song is Big Amount.

Good project that stays mostly in the trap boundaries not showing much effort to differentiate, and to be honest it works for 2 chainz. He knows what’s going to work best for him and doesn’t deviate from it.

6.5/10

The first half of the album is pretty bleak and bland in comparison to the 2nd, and since this project is an hour long, my overall impression isn't the best. But the features are nice, the energy and the general atmosphere are improving towards the 2nd half where 2 Chainz is also pretty solid. The last track is my favorite.

Maybe the best work he has done. Looking back to this after 6 years, I can still remember and willingly bump some songs by it and the album as a whole actually aged pretty well. This time it's not just an album to bump your head to for once and then forget but instead to remember and come back from time to time to check back and relisten...
