There is an undeniable charm to Whack World that is weirdly part of what may make it frustrating to so many. This is a 15-minute album with 15 one-minute songs, some of which are literally cut off as if a DJ has accidentally skipped to the next track. It's easy to play over and over again. Whack World could be viewed as a crash course in Tierra Whack's vast talent. "Bugs Life" shows that she has bars. Her flow is tight, the rhymes are intricate and Whack sounds at home over the somber production. She is equally adept at creating snippets of catchy sung hooks, which can be heard on "Hungry Hippo" and "Cable Guy". Even within this extremely short album, the strength of Whack's versatility is impressive. The R&B is upbeat, bouncy and fun and the rapping is solid. There are hilarious things like the twangy "Fuck Off" that do not necessarily lead to repeat listens, but generally Whack World is very fun stuff. Hopefully Whack can bring this infectious energy to a proper full-length project.
