A defining moment in hip-hop history, this Kendrick album not only explores and erodes away the impediment and weight of stereotypes and nuances that black people may experience, but also dives deeper into complex themes of self-love, pride, materialism, and peer pressure through a rich genre-blending soundscape.
Some of Peggy's best production and samples to date, accompanied with very strong and diverse rapping performances from himself and the eccentric Danny Brown.
Super fun, vibrant song with superb vocals, articulate flow, and sharp lyricism. Great addition to Sabrina's discography and I'm deftly excited for her next album
At least, from what we knew of Kanye back then, and from our limited perspective with the lack of knowledge of what Kanye would become, this is a definitive and formative moment of his career in which he recognizes the price of fame's temptations.
Bruno plays his part in creating an engaging, fun hook but no amount of time you can vibe to that sole part will compensate for Sexxy Redd's catastrophic rapping performance.
the tracks don't improve or worsen the album, but they're not as good as any of the songs from the OG
While I can't deny his revolutionary sampling and beats, I'm not a fan of Peggy's voice or lyricism. It deters the impact of the song.
Most important song on the album and one of the best on Kanye's disco. Sampha's vocals combined with the haunting beat are chilling.
an ok song by an ok artist, but I'm not playing this at a sushi restaurant.
Yeah this song is so balls. Gaga and Bruno put no effort into cultivating this into ANYTHING, just an enticing money grab to occasionally play at slow dances and on TikTok just because two of the biggest pop artists have collabed. It's not even fun in retrospect to their other collabs- like APT or Shallow.
How this song has already garnered 2 billion streams and is the 2nd most streamed song of 2024 is a great mystery of the world.
Beautiful, inspiring song and collab, a commemorative ballad to play spirited-heartedly at a wedding or championship game.
The big 3 of 2011 on one song. Feature occasions that like this are amazing

On Mellope's review of Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
"I agree with you- while the project is definitely a unique synth pop album, it's lyrics are too shallow and nothing about it really stands out to me in a positive manner. I don't think the production is insane even though it's different than the mainstream and many of the songs are pretty boring for me."
