If you like 2 Chainz, you’ll like his new album, “B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time.” But let’s talk about the 26-page cook book that 2 Chainz has concocted to accompany every track of the deluxe version of the album. I know that sounds completely ridiculous, but it’s also ridiculously awesome. Not only does every recipe look and sound delicious, but the cooking instructions are seasoned with helpful “Me Time” suggestions from 2 Chainz himself. A few samples: “POSITION YOURSELF IN A ROOM SURROUNDED BY A HANDFUL OF TVS PLAYING SPORTSCENTER WITH THE SOUND OFF,” “DRAPE YOURSELF IN AN ADIDAS SWEATSUIT, CHAINZ N THANGS,” “GET A MANICURE AND PEDICURE,” “SPEND SOME MORE ‘ME TIME’ AT THE HOUSE, CATCHING UP ON OLD SEASONS OF ‘THE WIRE’” and “SIT BACK, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, PLAY ‘LIVE AND LEARN (IT WILL)’ AND EAT SHRIMP & GRITS WITH THE HOMIES.” You need this in your life.
