I took some time with this, let it soak in. Gotta say, this shyt is near flawless. Headphones, car, don't matter. shyt is pristine. I won't lie, I didn't think Pharrell had THIS in him anymore. He really showed his ass on this album. 'Chains & Whips' and 'P.O.V.' back-to-back is legit insane. Like....HOW?!?
The Thornton brothers really came back together like a day hasn't passed. Hell, not even that. Pusha done leveled up over the years, and Malice really popped his head up and was like 'yeah, I'm here with you bro' lol. Pusha obviously got one of the illest deliveries in rap history, but damn the way Malice delivers some of his shyt, you know that's in their genes for real. Low key he spitting some demonic shyt too lol. The way he says 'you're gasping for air now, it's beautiful'. I mean, that's some foul shyt to say, and the way it comes out makes it even worse lol.
Kendrick did his thing, Tyler was straight, Good to hear Liva again and The GOAT came through with a nice verse. Album is just crazy. Nitpicking, I thought it was too short. I'm one of them dudes that prefers longer albums, so that's personal preference. Also, seen some complaints about Pharrell's voice. I don't think it was all that bad, except on 'All Things Considered'. Not sure how that hook made it smh.
But yeah, 5/5, 10/10, 100/100 whatever score you wanna use. Just a ridiculous performance from everyone involved. Bravo.
