RatingsGameMusic.com wrote about this tune, 'When Lil Durk straight up raps, he's as goonish as it gets. In 'No Auto Durk', you get just that, as he proclaims his gangsta ways to the people using a twisted flow that sounds nearly identical to the one that Herbo uses in his music.'

Remember My Name received generally positive reviews from music critics but were divided on Durk's Auto-Tune flow and lyrical content. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 61, based on 8 reviews.[1]
David Turner from Rolling Stone praised Durk for maintaining a delivery of dark ghetto lyrics over a mainstream budget, concluding that 'He's nowhere near forgetting how hard times were for him, and remain for so many in his hometown.'[9] Meaghan Garvey of Billboard praised the album for being able to 'strike a graceful balance between gritty roots and big-budget sheen, recruiting underrated drill producers (DJ L, C-Sick) whose slick beats are highlights.'[4]AllMusic's David Jeffries said that despite retreads of 'Like Me' found throughout the album, he highlighted tracks like 'Tryna' Tryna' and 'What Your Life Like' as lyrical standouts, saying that 'Drenched in Auto-Tune and more frustrated than a ringtone rapper should be, Lil Durk turns in a surprisingly down effort.'[3]
Kellan Miller of HipHopDX was mixed about the album, praising Durk's lyricism on self-reflecting tracks like 'Resume' and 'Don't Judge Me' but felt his personal life forced him to fabricate certain stories with gangsta rap clichés, saying that, '[T]he title's overt demand for permanent residency in the collective consumer's cerebral cortex ultimately amounts to Remember My Name's slightly-above mediocre status.' He also said that it will only appeal to loyal Durk fans.[7] Jill Hopkins of Consequence of Sound felt the album suffered an identity crisis when it went from hard-hitting hip-hop to soft-willowing R&B due to the use of Auto-Tune, concluding that 'A record this anticipated by a man so young, with so much riding on it should sound more important. Instead, Remember My Name sounds a lot like a lot of other things.'[6] Jake Jenkins of AbsolutePunk found the album a disappointing let-down, criticizing the middle part for being filler and Durk's limited musicianship revealing a flawed transition from mixtape to full-length project, saying, 'That's not the kind of rapper Durk is, at the moment anyway, and all over Remember My Name you get the awkward feeling that Durk is completely out of his element.'[2]

Singles from Signed to the Streets |
Signed to the Streets is a mixtape by American hip hop recording artist Lil Durk, hosted by DJ Drama. It was released on October 10, 2013. The mixtape features production by Chase Davis, Dree The Drummer, Fade, Nito Beats, Paris Beuller, Sunny Norway, TGM, Young Chop and Zaytoven.
Recording and reception[edit]
Lil Durk summarized the mixtape in an interview with MTV: 'It's a lot more interesting. There's a lot more storytelling. It's different from my last mixtape but it’s still real rapping. I just stepped it up a notch. I got DJ Drama and he made it bigger.'[1]
Auto Tune Lil Durk Album
Rolling Stone ranked Signed to the Streets eighth on its list of the top 10 mixtapes of 2013.[2]Stereogum's Tom Breihan wrote that the mixtape 'has the tough-minded energy that made so much of that drill stuff exciting in the first place, and it also has other things working for it: Hooks, songcraft, emotional force, a sound of its own.'[3] Renato Pagnani of Pitchfork Media called it Lil Durk's 'best mixtape yet. He continues to straddle the blurry line between singing and rapping, and his songwriting has grown tighter and more evocative with time. Before, his use of Auto-Tune felt a bit gratuitous, but now it's woven into his style more organically.'[4]
