An all timer. A real testament to the art of simple storytelling in music.
Just... how do you go from Panda to this? It boggles the mind. Wow. More of this please Desiigner, I don't need to know what Tiimmy Tiimmy Tiimmy Turner was wishing for when you could be putting out songs like this instead.
Actually the first Father John Misty song I ever heard. I quite like it too, gives me Odelay-era Beck vibes. Punk Rock Loser is a bit of a silly song to sample but he integrates it well enough into the track that I didn't actually notice it until someone pointed it out.
Oh good, I had always wondered whether or not Jessie J could do it like the mandem, mandem, do it like the mandem, sugar, sugar, sugar, do it like the mandem, mandem, do it like the mandem, sugar, sugar, sugar
It's really funny hearing Big Sean start this song with such a rubbish, flaccid verse and then Nicki shows up to out-rap him to the Nth degree
The Mambo No.9 interpolation... that unlistenable chorus... Aitch trying to sing...
Good god above.
I do not get the hype for this at all. The instrumental sounds so flat and so generic! Ozzy does alright here but neither of the other two artists on this song sound like they're even trying. Travis Scott sounds bored and Post puts down some of his most trite, vapid lyrics.
Kyle Gordon doesn't always get it right but sometimes he really hits the nail on the head. This is a parody song that balances the required comedic elements of a parody and still sounds recognisable as the thing it's sending up. Well done.
Jerk off to as many of the Pokémon as you please, just don't serenade me about it next time.
You know when you really don't want to like a song and you fight with all your will to not like it for years? I've lost the battle.
Also, this is a surprisingly good French Montana performance. He sounds suave. He fits well over the beat, what can I say?
From dancehall to moombahton to tropical house to reggaetón to amapiano... and now to funk brasileiro, huh? Music's most shameless trend-hoppers have trend-hopped once more! And it's business as usual for Diplo's cartoon Jamaican superhero band who have yet again failed to make anything more than a silly pastiche of the genre they've decided to work within this time.
Excellent beat, granted. Jay-Z's flow is great, granted. But I'm troubled by the lyrical themes of this song, which are awfully tone-deaf and the least bit cynical. It really is quite audacious of him to suggest that gang members and other impoverished black people should just start investing, isn't it? Obviously I'm very far removed from either of those situations, but if I wasn't, I would find Jay-Z telling me to just exit systemic poverty like the door is clearly ... read more
A beautiful song but its use in Jay-Z's song The Story Of O.J. is a complete bastardisation. Nina Simone was a radical socialist who advocated for violent black revolution. Jay-Z is a billionaire capitalist. The Story of O.J. itself is about how poor black people should buy expensive pantings. It feels wrong for it to sample Four Women no matter how well integrated it is into the song.
Hot take: Fred again's best songs are the ones that sound good
Thank you Ice Spice, very cool!
