Artwork

[edit | edit source]

The album's artwork features Rich the Kid donning an all-black attire. Rich takes the money-stack from the predecessor, The World Is Yours (2018) and trades it for a shiny representation for "the world", thus perfecting the metaphor of the album title.[9]

The title of the album also comes from the film Scarface as the predecessor, The World Is Yours (2018).

The World Is Yours 2 received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the mixtape received an average score of 67 based on four reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[19]

Writing for AllMusic, Fred Thomas said that "while Rich's hyperconfident personality is in full focus, The World Is Yours 2 is elevated to a higher plane by its smart production and who's-who of guest rappers."[20] Lucy Shanker of Consequence wrote, "Although the surplus of features is at times overwhelming, The World Is Yours 2 is an extremely strong sophomore album."[21] HipHopDX felt that Rich the Kid "has done a fine enough job with his second album, and he's successfully set the stage for a career that could be long, fruitful, and ultimately well-respected."[22] In a mixed review, Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork felt that the album's guest artists frequently outshined Rich the Kid himself, writing, "The only thing more engrossing than all this rich production is imagining [...] what a more engrossing rapper might have made of [this album]."[23]
