After this, it looked as if a Kanye collaboration was in the lead.

At this point, the rumors began truly swirling about where Tity would end up. 1: South by Southwest showcase featuring 2 Chainz, with surprise guests Big Sean and Kanye West March 14: PERFORMANCE THAT I WITNESSED AND MAY HAVE WEPT DURING NO. 2 Chainz, French Montana, Yo Gotti, Steve O, Meek Mill, and Mystikal March 14: “Wild Boy (Remix)” - Machine Gun Kelly feat. March 5: “Let It Go (Remix)” video released. When? Another also: beginning his verse with the elongated “2 Chainnnzzzz.” While not the first time, it was certainly one of the more memorable. Also: “Bentley Truck.” When are they going to make it? asked Chainz. As we saw time and time again, either a strong start or a buildup to a giant finish was the formula for best utilizing the Chainz. For all intents and purposes, “Supafreak” is a one-verse song by 2 Chainz. It seemed that with this performance, artists learned from Jeezy’s mistake that putting Tauheed in the middle of a song was a mistake if you would like the song to remain your song. Chainz completely stole the song from Young. January 15: “Supafreak” - Young Jeezy featuring 2 Chainz January 11: “Let It Go (Remix),” Red Cafe feat. Also, this song gave us the triumphant “Similac.” Unlike Chainz, four days into the year may have been TIP’s high point. January 4: “Spend It (Remix)” video - 2 Chainz feat. Just to make this point explicitly and aggressively clear, here is a sampling of 2 Chainz’s 2012. The ferocious clip at which Lil Wayne made music in 2007 is well documented, but not even that can touch Tity 2 Necklace in 2012, especially when you couple it all with the fact that this time last year, he was barely on anyone’s radar. 2 Chainz doesn’t think he’s too good for anyone, me and you potentially included. Sure, there was a time period (still happening) when he would work with anyone (Lil Chuckee, Booba, Teairra Mari), but it’s kind of endearing. In honor of all of your accomplishments, here is rapper 2 Chainz’s calendar year, just to bring you back down to earth and remind you that you’re a lazy slacker that probably doesn’t have curly-fry braids, can’t dance, and hasn’t the first notion of what it means to have the busiest, most productive year ever.

Congrats, reader, on having a productive, successful 2012.
