I fukked with What it's Worth.
But I disagree with the bolded, this new album fighting hard with the Nas' Magic 2 for my ear space and it's only because Black Milk finally made it work.
Like "Ain't Nobody Coming Down" is the best way to explain this. It feels like had Black Milk tried to do this track years before he would've failed. Like he been working for years (decades) to make a track this crazy work.
"Ain't Nobody Coming Down" is exactly the type of track I would never hear twice-fukk it, even once-UNLESS it was done as well as he did this. And he dropped a verse with the appropriate flow to it.
Listening to Black Milk, from my POV, feels like he's been making noise work as music and now he finally did it because, these beats in this album, they do not fukking work unless you're very aware of what you're doing.
This is his signature sound it feels like, meticulously organized noise. The type that if you miss a step when creating it becomes something worse than just basura.
Fews & Trues has a sound at 1:04 that is very carefully put there and actually enhances the song. But Black Milk, as he is now, knows that that sound should NOT abused because it will fukk up the track! It comes again at 2:04 to signify the transition to the end of the song, but there it actually feels even more risky, because it almost throws you off the wrong way until you realize there's a little switch and the song is winding down.
He showed mastery of cacophony in this album. I'm really fukking with it.
