The next song, the album’s first single “Dope” featuring rap kingpin Rick Ross is reminiscent of “Rack City” with its stripped down bass heavy beat and catchy chorus. On this New Orleans flavored track Tyga gets things started with lyrics like “I’m killing this shit, and I’m killing your mind/One verse at a time, the shivers are mine/I murdered this shit, just takin my time/Got bars, front gate/ face shot, blind date.” Not to be outdone by the young gun, Lil Wayne also drops a hot verse with lines like “Schoolin’ motherfuckers, I’m their favorite subject/Broomstick in my pants, I’m bout to go witch hunting/I’m already loaded, these niggas still buffering/ I fuck my girlfriend and her best friend, these niggas is lesbians/Don’t cross me like a pedestrian/ I’m getting head watching ESPN.” The album gets started with the Ryan Hunt produced “500 Degrees” featuring label mate Lil Wayne. Doman, Lil C, SAP and Mars of 1500 or Nothin.
The album features production from Cool & Dre, DJ Mustard, David D.A. Hotel California is a star studded affair featuring guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Chris Brown, Game, Wiz Khalifa, Future and Jadakiss. Fresh off the heels from 2012’s Careless World: Rise of the Last King, Tyga obviously intends to strike while the iron is hot.
