Blue Chips 2

Action Bronson – Blue Chips 2
Released: November 1, 2013

Bam Bam Bronson and Party Supplies link up again for Blue Chips 2 and it sounds like they may have another cult classic mixtape on their hands. Possibly the most impressive thing about Action Bronson is that he just says things that nobody else says:

Ah, why the fuck would I have a bodyguard, if I look just like the motherfucking bodyguard

I got the face like a grown lion, my people hold iron, predict the weather by the wind like on old Mayan, hold my son up, show him to the kingdom.

She took a bump and started dancing like Elaine Benes.

Action says unbelievable line after unbelievable line and this makes Blue Chips 2 entertaining but I do think that there’s not a ton of lyrical depth here. Even if he’s saying crazy-creative things, he also says disgusting things (like on “Through the Eyes of a G”) and he rarely says something that’s not just stream-of-consciousness pop-culture/women/food/sports references. – Chris Russ (Excerpt from A Zip & A Double-Click: Top Mixtapes Of September & October 2013)
