Chief Keef is a terrible rapper. After signing to Interscope in June, he released his debut Finally Rich six months later. Aside from Young Chop’s production (“Love Sosa”, “I Don’t Like” ) Finally Rich is sonically bankrupt. Throughout the project, Keef’s incoherent (“Kay Kay”, “Laughin To The Bank”) and incomprehensible (“No Tomorrow”, “Understand Me”, “Citgo”). When he’s not not rapping in fragments (“Hate Bein’ Sober”), the closest he comes to articulating a sentence is on the title track, “Finally Rich”. Money can’t buy happiness, but at least it’ll help pay for a ghostwriter.

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
How can the #1 WORST album of the year have the #1 best beat of the year on it?
If its the absolute WORST its gotta be bad from start to finish.. sorry just dosent make sense

Album was hard
Interesting that B. Dot has a problem with Keef but I bet he jumps up and down over ODB’s old music.
ODB made no sense, a lot of the beats he choice were terrible & overall he was more of a character than a rapper. However, in good old “hip hop was better in the 90′s B. Dot’s mind Keef is a problem?
I’m not saying that Chief Keef is a great rapper or that I would buy his music, but he makes the tunes that the kids love and B. Dot , you’re getting old.
Put in context of old punk rockers like Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols who feels ANYTHING that wasn’t recorded in the 70s/80s isn’t punk rock. Rotten goes off on rants , with anger, talking about how everything is lame and sucks, and ha ha ha ,blah blah blah.
What’s so smart about 2 Chainz? Where’s the integrity in “all i want for my birthday is a big booty hoe”?
Let the kids rock, pops.

Bored of bloggers who think they know more than everyone else
only guys on comment boards can do that!
chief keef not the only wack rapper…. i’ve seen worse posted on this site
Can these list be over already damnnnnn
Lol chief keef is a trap artist not a rapper. It really not that hard to comprehend or tell the difference between the two.
what a waste of GREAT beats
what has the world come to?? got niggas on here really defending cheif keef music?? THAT SHIT IS WACK BOTTOM LINE,, CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NIGGA SAYING!!!
if you think kreayshawns album was better than this.. sit down.
Black people are truly lost if you think this album is anything but ass. elevate your mind from ‘bangin beats’, and ‘catchy hooks’, put some fuckin’ substance in your life besides a controlled one. (i.e. marijuana) for you uneducated muthafuckas. this shit aint doin anything, for anybody, in any hood in america, besides givin them the same soundtrack every other “trapper” is givin’ them. this shit is hot garbage.
this album was dece. not good but it was still ok. obviously every list posted on here is biased in some way so it makes sense. you can tell very easily the people who get love on this website, the people who get hate, and those who are just neutral.im honestly surprised kendrick didnt get on a worst list, but he basically shitted down your guys throat. so its understandable.
the fact that the ’12 best beat you guys listed is on this cd, totally voids your whole opinion. anyways, thanks for the laughs like usual.
this orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine.
This site just lost a lot of credibility in my eyes. Finally Rich may have not been perfect but it’s far from the worst rap album of 2012. I doubt whoever wrote this actually ever even listened to the album. Corny shit like this just goes to show that Hip Hop has hardly no real journalist dedicated to documenting the art from an unbiased or predetermined state of mind. Rap Radar should be ashamed of itself for publishing something this blatantly false.
Idk cuz I got the album and actually appreciated the music. Granted I cud barely understand the lyrics the melodies carried me through. Especially Citgo. The groove took me to my first time listening to Bone Thugs and just chanting and humming along. I’ve heard young cats recite Chief Keef lyrics word for word so I can rest knowing it isn’t for me to understand.
@remarkoble1
lalalala bahahah rahrahrah ha ha = chief keef lyrics lmao
this nigga suck… listen to “laughing to the bank”
Likkle bwoy! @p0is0nedkoola
“ODB made no sense, a lot of the beats he choice were terrible & overall he was more of a character than a rapper. However, in good old “hip hop was better in the 90′s B. Dot’s mind Keef is a problem?”
Keep ODB name out of your mouth!

You scared? Run around like a plane about to crash
Just because your simple mind can’t ascertain the genius of this man don’t lump him in with Keef.
^^^^^^^ All Of The Comments Above Are HILARIOUS, SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS
this shit sucks but its better than kreyshawn my homegirl had bought that shit i slapped her
110% agree…..worst rapper alive….”arefiekmfnshnf…Bang Bang” -Chief Keef
Him and Lil B making a joke out of the rap game.
this was actually ok
LMAOOOOO “you hip hop nerd” U say this in the comments section of a hip hop blog. WTF are you then?
Someone compared ODB to Keef….man fuck hip hop, shit is in the toilet with dumb ass fans like this
LOL@ the comments especially the niggas trying to defend this terrible album talking about “oh but it had good beats” etc. this album may have had banging beats (which at some point were repetitive) but his raps were garbage and since he raps on all the songs, this album was garbage. All niggas want hear is a catchy hook and good beats these days. smh
lol @rahrahrah . I’ve been to hip hop shows of legends from the WU to KRS-1
Please don’t bore me with verses you pulled from RapGenius. I know comprehension is a lagging skill among most people.
For example, mr “az is the real hip hop sosa”, who thinks I compared ODB to Keef. smh
I wrote that there are a lot of MCs who provide great music, but are not necessarily great MCs. None of you are “bumping” ODB. Please. Stop. Now
The point is , we appreciate characters too. Keef is a character. A dumb , young ignorant kid who has a knack for memorable hooks. 2Chainz is a dumb, ignorant old man (he’s halfway to 40, people!) who has a knack for memorable hooks yet somehow it’s ok for him to spew the usual bombast that Keef is slandered for?
Anyway, I’ll let you all go back to bumping ODB & frowning at the world passing you by as you hold on to hope that 1995 will reappear on your calendars.
@p0isonedkoola
Watching the English language take a beating more and more each day
“Chief Keef is a terrible rapper.” Couldn’t have said it better
CHIEF KEEF GOING TO KILL B.DOT LOL BUT SERIOUSLY THAT DUDE SUCKS… DONT KNOW WHY INTERSCOPE THOUGHT HE WOULD SELL RECORDS
damn the hate is strong on this article, you would put them corny ass macklemore dudes as best album lmao, fuck outta here
Cheif Keef is the worst artist in the history of Hip Hop, let this clown ass nigga dissapear.
Keef sucks nuff said why yall niggas give him a lil money lol
“bitch I’m Chief Keef –>fuck who don’t like.<—"
Can’t believe there’s so many comments about a guy who’s only been about for maybe 6-8 months.
Hopefully Interscope doesn’t drop him.
*out
i agree it sucks!
I WOULD NT WIPE ASS WITH THE CD COVER I NEVER HEARD HIM SPIT ANYTHING WORTH REPEATING BE CLEAR KANYE REMIX I DONT LIKE AND THE MIXTAPES DIDNT PLAY HIS VERSE TILL LIKE A MONTH LATER THIS IS WHY HIPHOP DEAD CUZ THESE EXECS DONT DO HOME WORK JUST SIGNED OFF OF KANYE REMIX SMH GOTTA SAY THIS AND TRINIDAD JAMES ARE GD HUSTLES CANT HATE AND NIGGAZ PAYING TO SEE THESE DUDES WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS IN MY TI VOICE
I saw someone write “it’s a fun album” yeah if you’re below the age of 16. This “album” is garbage at best but I expected it to be. His lyrical content is non-existent and his songs are repetitive. Beats are nice as hell but that has nothing to do with Chief Keef. Chief Keef should stick to making mixtapes and doing shows, that’s if he decides to show up of course. I still don’t know how this guy got signed.
@Jonathan. Alot of comments and from what I’ve seen it’s been mostly negative. Chief Keef ‘s album isn’t selling well and his tours keep getting cancelled. Interscope would be smart to drop him but then again I’m talking about the same people who signed him in the first place.
kobe is dope,understand me also,ths album wasnt made fo y’all fuckin perfectionists,i fucks wit Keef.
keef isn’t a good or decent rapper. but none of that isn’t the point. his album (not his lyrics or rhyme skills) isn’t bad at all. i guess south niggas “get it”, and up north niggas don’t.
BUT… if RR’s job is documenting the culture, then Finally Rich can’t be the worst album of 2012. because the culture says otherwise.
now… kreayshawn is the culture’s reject. so she’d qualify.
to me, if YN isn’t careful… B.Dot’s lack of objectivity and ability to stick to the mission statement of RR, not in word, but in PRACTICE, will harm RR’s credibility in 2013, as he gains more visibility. he’s taking his new found position and using it to try to sway people’s opinions, and restore hip hop as HE sees fit, while using the site to punish and praise artists he believes are deserving. this isn’t good. Elliott… check ya boi or suffer the consequences.
and that’s lack of ability*, just to be clear.
This shit bumps..
I agree that he is a terrible rapper but why just call him out on it? Half the rappers this site promotes are terrible rappers… Chief Keef is terrible but Trinidad James got next huh? Nigga please
He proved u dont need a blog…. Didn’t know about them or give a fuck and still got some M’s outta interscope at 16…. Stop hating on Keef

’12 Worst Albums #1: Chief Keef Finally Rich

Ehh… I agree but I think you could’ve dug a bigger hole into this than what you did, B. Dot…

Thursday, January 10 2013 at 6:22 PM EST
fail. “Understand Me” is a pretty good summation of B. Dot’s opinion on the album lol.
Jonathan says:
Thursday, January 10 2013 at 6:22 PM EST
No disrespect to B. Dot because so far you had a great list of choices, but when you chose this as the worst album of 2012, did you really listen to the whole album, or did you only listen to 2 or 3 songs on this and said “Screw it, this sucks”?
I’m just saying, it’s not the best album, but its not the worst.

B.Dot
Kreayshawn is better than Chief Keef? Keep it 100 my nigga
Let’s be honest “Somethin about Kreay” is the worst album in the last five years.
Jonathan says:
Thursday, January 10 2013 at 6:25 PM EST
Oh and didn’t this album sell around 50,000 copies the first week? I mean not that sales mean anything in this case, but you could at least give the kid a break. He’s still developing as an artist.

Chief keef can’t spit for shit but you clearly don’t know what your talking about if you say this is the worst album of 2012. Have you listened to all the albums of 2012? I don’t like was so good that good music wanted their own version, was good musics album shit aswell? The beats are hard as fuck, so he can’t spit, that’s not the only thing that makes a song. How much money did you make last year and how much did sosa make? Ye that’s what I thought.

“Blah blah blah blah… Toaster
Blah blah blah blah…. Soda
Blah blah blah blah… Toyota corolla
Blah blah blah blah… Oprah
BANG BANG”
- Chief Keef
^^^^ Realest Post I Ever Saw
Honestly though, off the strength of “I dont like” and “Love Sosa” This cannot be given worst album. As bad as a rapper he is (mind you he still finding himself as an artist so he lacks creativity and he has “0″ lyrical talent) his singles are STILL a part of the album and for that he cant be the worst; just not logical. Sorry
you’re an idiot
Get the fuck outta here!!
Kreayshawn made a better album then keef?!
Just off of Don’t Like his album is better than the 5 other albums you listed.
The young bulls fuck wit him an that’s who runs hip hop I thought yall were documenting the culture….. Don’t Like was arguably one of the biggest songs of 2012
like I said earlier fuck outta here
completely agree, love this
chief queef is fucking horrible and i despise that lame and i want him to go away with his garbage music
this album has generic banging beats
i’ve heard everything before, nothing new, this shit sounded like a poor mixtape
where were the bridges and beat transitions? albums use to have that back in the good ol days of music
@Yeezus need a new name fuk boy
I gave it an honest listen on spotify, and the album has some bangers, Love Sosa, 3Hunna, Diamonds, I don’t Like, and Kobe I liked, so it’s not the worst album, but when you do here the worst songs like Laughing to the bank, it’s ugly real fast, but he’s okay definitely not the worst
