Still an S-tier producer, but my god does he have the versatility of fucking Gunna when it comes to different flows on this album. If this were condensed into the best 14 tracks, it still wouldn't be up to the standard I hold Peggy to, but it'd definitely be in the 8 range for me.
Favs: Burning Hammer, $(Money), The Ghost Of Emmett Till, Yen, GYBB, TSAR BOMBA, Mask On, Lights, New Era, Bridges on Fire, No Strippers In Heaven.

Imagine having a producer list this stacked, and your album still turns out this meh. This album honestly does nothing for me, Kanye barely has any presence here, and I think the only performance I genuinely liked from him was on problematic, maybe burn but it was so brief. Every other song, Ty is more engaging to listen to and puts more effort into his vocals, probably because he knew his mainstream popularity would skyrocket and peak at this album. Nothing really else to add to this review, ... read more
I got 1,2... different flows, also stupid ass album title.
Favs: Bank Account
Worst: Facetime
This is one of the most middling albums I've ever listened to, nothing is horrible, beats are ok, features are meh, and nettspend is... well nettspend.
Favs: you ready?, halftime, paris hilton, lil bieber
Worst: meet me in richmond
Kanye has, for the majority of his career, been a rather polarising figure; however, it truly peaked early last year with his slew of dogshit (and antisemitic) singles, along with multiple Twitter meltdowns to the point where some of the most diehard Kanye fans were switching up and denouncing him. So for him to drop this much of a listenable project after so much controversy is borderline impressive. Now for the music itself, while definitely not his best work, it is so refreshing to hear a ... read more
Could've been mgk x trippie red levels of bad so I'm thankful for the fact it isn't. Still that doesn't stop this from being an extremely phoned in project. Wayne doesn't care, production is one note and average, Rich the Kid is here.
Favs: Feelin' Like Tunechi, Headlock, Buzzin'
Worst: Still
No more gunshot sound effect in God Loves You 💔💔💔
Pretty uninteresting, boring, and bloated. I think the first couple of tracks are pretty strong, but this album falls apart pretty quickly, also these Druski skits killing me dawg. Vocally, I feel like Justin sorta just phones it in on most of these tracks and doesn't really have much mic presence, and to add oil to the fire, the production is just super bland throughout. I wanted to like this one since I saw people hyping it up, but I guess it's not for me.

Just add "Love Me" and forget about the rest, this feels like such a cheap project for a legend such as Wayne to put out.
Favs: Love Me
Worst: Wowzerz
I'm not really sure how to rate this. Pretty much all these songs (with the exception of rap god) are 10/10 Em songs, but hyping up this soundtrack and making it sound like we were getting multiple unreleased tracks just to drop one decent unreleased song and an unrecorded live performance feels weird. If I were going purely off the music here, it would be like a 95 but as an overall soundtrack for a film, it's just good and nothing more.
The beat for Jeff Besos was kinda nice but everything else on that track and the rest of this album deserve negative numbered scores that it evens out to a 0. Genuinely grim project.
Favs: N/A
Worst: Everything
Writing as I listen. From what I've read, these are throwaways that didn't make the album.
Behold - Nothing too crazy for JID just pretty standard stuff, production is nice and flow is very good as usual.
Knew Better - Like the production here a bit more than Behold, JID is good, but once again nothing crazy, Yachty is nice, I haven't listened to much of his work, so I can't compare this to much.
Lisa - A bit slower paced and vibey, I like 6LACK's parts and JID did ... read more
I hate how this album doesn't have an obvious highlight, at least with a bad album like "Revival", "Rebirth" or "Honestly Nevermind" there's a gleaming gem in the sea of shit, whereas with this album everything is just within that 3-6/10 range where there's nothing hideous must also no big highlight at all making the whole album just mind numbing and a snoozy listen.
Favs: "Drankin N Smokin" I guess
Worst: "Lullaby"
Another X album heavily carried by the highlights, I think this is slightly better than "?" just cause of the structure and sound not being too messy, still not very good in general though.
Favs: "Jocelyn Flores", "Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares", "Revenge", "Fuck Love"
Worst: "The Explanation" (I know it isn't a song but it's just way too corny and dumb)
