Well well well. Looks who's all growed up. Last year this time, Tyga was dropping tropical-fruit-based party anthems, trashing "cousin" Travis McCoy's house, and pissing off Pete Wentz.
"Coconut Juice," off Tyga's No Introduction debut, was a feel-good summer jam, and he followed that up with a song about instant messenging and MySpace. Fun, sure, but if you weren't paying attention, you might've thought Tyga and Soulja Boy Tell'Em were the same dude -- big glasses, big backpacks, neckscarves, tats, party jams, jewelry drama, etc.
However, one look at Tyga's new video, "Cali Love," and it's clear that he's not only coming back, but he's coming back HARD. Tyga's sound on "Cali Love" is less loopy, more Lupe. Less jiggy, more Jay-Z. And after a few viewings of his "My Glory" video (one of the first lines out the gate: "F+++ you, pay me"), Tyga's even got some of that early, Diddy swagger. Pre-Twitter Diddy, that is.
+ Watch Tyga pay homage to his Compton hometown in "Cali Love," directed by Mickey Finnegan, and tell us what you think of Tyga 2.0.
