First listen, I played this in order going whilst out for a run and that hour went by so fast, so I heard some tracks twice.
I don’t know song names as my phone was obviously in my pocket but these are my thoughts.
Very, very good album. One of the best I’ve heard from top to bottom in the past 5 years when I’ve been listening to hip hop less and less. I appreciate Malice a lot more now, I’ve always believed Pusha T is the perfect rapper.
The Kendrick and Tyler songs were fantastic. I love when Pusha T does those talk/rap choruses. The song that The Dream was on was also really good, I have to find that one again for all my playlists.
Cons:
- Pharrell’s singing, it wasn’t just the weakest part of the album, but it actually brought the quality of the album down.
- That Nas verse. wtf was that bs? Jay has given Pusha T two classics like DDA and Neck & Wrist, whereas Nas gave him that absolute trash? Nas is (or was) my favorite rapper, but I haven’t listened to any albums of his in the last 5 years and I’d been pushing myself to get on them lately but this bs just demotivated the fk outta me.
