At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 64, based on 5 reviews. His early work was indie to a fault, with long-players sounding patched together from mixtape numbers and other related whatnot, while his mainstream debut, 's Live from the Kitchen , suffered from its long birthing process, sounding patched together on the million-dollar level with too much input from the marketing department. Good news for fans who stuck it out this long is that I Am is the moment when the skies clear, as the album comes on strong with a hard-hitting set of openers, and then, the high quality is maintained with a set of easy-flowing supportive songs that broaden the LP spectrum, all without leaving Gotti's comfort zone.
And Gotti deserves commendation for his talent at bringing an explicit rawness, reality and affection to his autobiographical bars. One on the one hand you applaud Gotti for implementing a hit-making formula so effectively, and after all, songs sounding like other songs is not an uncommon thing.
Not sure we can be mad at that. At times you'd wish Gotti had done what DMX used to do and recorded two versions of each song! If you can get past the ignorance, this is enjoyable for what it is - an album to be played loudly in your car, with the windows down and a middle finger up to anybody who looks at you disapprovingly.
And he continues to utilize the very same work ethic that's brought him to this point in his career on his latest project. Although Gotti doesn't sway too far from his usual topics on the album, he doesn't display any signs of decline creatively either.

Gotti was also on The Breakfast Club this morning talking about his relationship, or lack thereof, with Young Dolph, rival Memphis rapper. The two have had a longstanding public feud, but Gotti chalked up all the controversy to 'marketing' tactics.
We never exchanged no money, ever in life. The facts is just I'm the biggest rapper from Memphis,' said Gotti. If you missed it, read our interview with Gotti for his XXL 20th anniversary cover talking about how he's been able to stay relevant after over 20 years in the rap game.
