CRITIC REVIEWS

The B-side is hands-down his greatest statement since Griselda's rise.

Standout: Hell on Earth, Pt. 2
Favorites: Free Kutter, Celine Dion, Best Dressed Demons, Forest Lawn, Why I do em Like that, Eddie Kingston, Ostertag, Munch, The Fly who couldn't Fly straight, Big AL
Least favorite: Survivor Series 95
This record is unbelievably grimy and I love the drums and the samples on the project, a very generic Griselda sound but he nailed it, very raw. West's simple yet forceful lyricism creates an overall pleasing and aggressive body of work.

I will give the meanest dome to anyone who can provide the sample to BYE BYE; That's such a powerful, godly instrument that's being played, I need to die to that song
