The views n what have you in this muthafukka is all my owns so that aint in no way a reflection of nobody other than myself n whatever else b. No other man or woman or child represented heretofore n such hereby is sharin the opinion of the gentleman who be sayin the shyt contained within namsayin. This muthafukka do be containin foul language n shyt that might offend small children n old people n shyt too. It should be noted by all those who is present today here today before God that yall here on ya own accord n if anybody not cool wit that they should leave now or forever hold they peace
n now without no further shyt ado lets see whether or not the white boy still got it .
Ayo I be rootin for Justin namsayin. I was happy to hear that son was comin back after it had been announced a few months ago outta the blue n shyt nahmean. He been missin from the scene for SEVEN years b . Son even let another Justin come thru n scoop up his mononym n shyt. I mean who takes 7 years off yo? Thats how much time Dre took off between The Chronic n the 2001 joint. Like who else besides Dre would do some shyt like that tho son? Thats damn near offensive. Thing is when Dre came back a lot of muthafukkas was shocked that son had actually delivered another classic. Not that Im tryin to compare one of the founding members of NWA to a dude who got his start on the Mickey Mouse Club n was in a boy band wit the announcer from Family Feud, a closet homosexual (nothin against gay folk), a grown man who still goes by the name JC n probably the most douchebag lookin douchebag to ever walk the planet aka this muthafukka
Son looked like the poster child for serial date rape n shyt I actually no joke wanna take a butter knife n stab this muthafukka thru his eyes n shyt b but thats a whole nother story yo. So lets get into this shyt
1. Pusher Love Girl I mean the shyt is cool. Like in a interlude from a late 90s Prince cover band album that got looped 8 times n shyt type way. There aint no reason on Gods green earth why this joint needs to be this fukkin long tho namsayin. Kno how much shyt I coulda been done before this song wrapped? I coulda painted a bedroom n still had time to imagine crane kickin Tyga in the throat (fukk you Tyga) from the time I had pressed play on this shyt to when it was over. Aint like the song is wack but it dont JUSTIFY this length at all n shyt.
2. Suit & Tie feat. Jay-Z Man this shyt toooooo elegant. I still dont get why muthafukkas was on some disappointed shyt after this dropped. Yeah yeah yeah I get it it aint exactly Cry Me A River or SexyBack but shyt still serves its purpose n what have you nahmean. You really gotta listen to this shyt on some decent speakers tho cuz it wont sound dope playin on ya iphones off youtube n shyt like that namsayin. So much finesse. This shyt be sparklin on some Superfly shyt ike Curtis Mayfield blessed this joint hisself N**gas got xylophones n harps n shyt cascadin across this muthafukka. Hov aint exactly bring that Crazy In Love type fire but he aint exactly sleepwalk thru the shyt neither. I mean aint like son was pose to body the muthafukka on some Resevoir Dogs shyt its a classy affair yo. Grow up b. N**gas got on bow ties n aint een sellin bean pies n definitely aint tryin to wish death on blue eyed devils on this record namsayin. shyt is for n**gas wit concierges.
3. Dont Hold The Wall Not gon lie yo this shyt boring as fukk. On a scale of 1 to Sideline Story on the boredom scale this shyt was venturin deep as fukk into the sleepiest abysses of Cole World territory nahmean. Jermaine Cole hisself probably got all types of hype to this joint like the HOT NOW light jus came on at Krispy Kremes n shyt. shyt only came alive like 5 minutes in when the beat had switched up n shyt. Thats a hell of a time investment tho my n**ga.
Of course Timbo husky ass all over this joint remindin you who produced the track. Its like SON take a muthafukkin break from tryin to turn all these shyts into duets yo! Da-da-dance dont dont hol the wohl . Im sayin chill you ol pack of hot dogs neck havin was-fat-then-got-swole-then-got-fat-again attention seekin ass muthafukka Its all love tho.
4. Strawberry Bubblegum This beat be soundin like some shyt Drake would get his little hey gurl you aint gotta try to impress me to impress me awwwwww basic bytch mind manipulation on to. But I actually fukks wit it. T-Minus shoulda at least gotta shout out on the track for inspirin the fukk out of it. Yo but wait .oh shyt real real big surprise rite hea son .this shyt is TWO songs in ONE. Oh WOW! WOOOOOOOOW So stead a bein jussa dope little 4 min track the shyt clocks in at 3 hours again? DOPE!
We a group JT you n me baby
5. Tunnel Vision Man .Timbaland really dont be shuttin the fukk up at all yo. After a couple minutes this shyt be havin like 7 million sounds happenin at the same time too son. Its like when ya computer restarts n you had a couple youtube videos open n the shyt is all playin at the same time n whatever. Muthafukkas is beatboxin again on this shyt too. White folk really love beatboxin tho
6. Spaceship Coupe This shyt for the grown n sexy right here. Sounds almost like some Jodeci The Show The Afterparty The Hotel type shyt minus that K-Ci & Jo-Jo vocal yin n yang magic. Whoever wrote the Stylistics You Are Everything joint gon want n**gas to cut a check for that lowkey jack on this shyt tho.
7. That Girl shyt is aight this the kinda joint that reminds you how weak sons voice actually is n at the same time how son really makes the best of that shyt. That bein said tho son put his heart into this shyt so you gotta respect it. You can also barely hear Timbo on this shyt n they kept it under 5 minutes so I kinda fukks wit it.
8. Let The Groove Get In Son jus made a whole song outta the mama-say mama-sah ma-ma-coo-sah part of Wanna Be Startin Somethin This shyt is like 178 minutes longer tho. I hear you ficky ficky fickyn in the background there too Tim. You need to have a seat bruh. I aint mad at this shyt really but I aint exactly gon be prayin the shyt pops up on my shuffle neither.
Seemed like a ok idea at the time n shyt
9. Mirrors The difference between jus singin stupid shyt over a groove for a half hour n makin a actual actual song is this shyt right here nahmean. This shyt is a SONG b. Son SONGED the shyt outta this muthafukka too. I aint eem mad at the beatboxin but the (SURPRISE bytchES) second half of this shyt is another 300 hour coda on some you are you are thuhhh love of-my-life shyt.
Ayo regardless tho this joint cool even if its some beggin type shyt. I guess theres broads out there who like when a dude whine like that n shyt but let a cold muthafukka like Prince sing this shyt n that beggy shyt gon be out..the beggin gon be replaced by some commands n shyt. That n**ga dont beg a broad for a damn thing namsayin. But thats irrelevant.
10. Blue Ocean Floor SON .the fukk is this? shyt sounds like the soundtrack to dolphins givin birth in a lagoon n shyt. This like some shyt Wiz Khalifa do kegels in his warm soymilk baths to. You can almost see the winged dikks that swooped down from the sky to help son achieve this level of bytchifiedness. This some shyt for n**gas who lay on blankets in the park n caress the grass n stare at the clouds n shyt. This for n**gas who be gettin mad upset if you say some foul shyt bout Beyonce namsayin. Top it all off its another joint that never ends I had two naps in the middle of listenin to this muthafukka yo. fukk outta here man Unless you like marinatin ya vagina in yogurt to keep it soft there aint shyt here for you b.
Bonus Tracks:
11. Dress On Man Timbaland still spillin his vocal struggle sauce on joints even if he aint produce the joint son beatboxin on this shyt again too. This is lyrically some stupid shyt b. Like on the level of R Kelly at his worst type lyrics. Beat is aight tho. Overall the song is cool but these lyrics is trash.
Son jus let me hop on 5 more joints
12. Body Count This joint was produced by JT n Rob Knox like the last joint n Timbo still not chillin. This muthafukka actually sound like some shyt Pharrell hooked up tho in 2002. shyt jus gets confusin. I aint really fukkin wit this at all. Justin if n**gas want ya old shyt they gon buy ya old albums aight.
In the end this shyt aint horrible. Definitely not gon get the no skips treatment on most gadgets matter fact its a whole lot of skippable moments on this muthafukka b. That two songs in one gimmick gets tired too yo. You kinda gotta do that shyt in moderation fam. Timbaland should kno that shyt. After Jay asked him to flip two beats on one track for Come N Get Me Hov aint do that shyt again (A Million And One ?s/Rhyme No More dont count cuz the shyt had two song titles) he aint really do that again until Watch The Throne. Now we got Kendrick Lamar doin that for half a album n shyt so hopefully that shyt dont get outta control. Isaac Hayes been did that shyt back in the 70s tho. N**gas BEEN had musical sophistication namsayin. JT n Timbo need to stop ODn on that n actin like they invented the shyt. N**gas dont need 10 minute songs yo. We livin in the era of Recycle Bin Rap (shout out to Tyga) n adult ADD bruh
Anyways I appreciate the musicianship n whatnot N**gas aint coast. Only problem is other than on Suit & Tie they aint really come wit nothin new son. I thought n**gas was gon come wit more of that grown shyt. Timbo threw together shyt that coulda been sittin in his hard drive since the Magoo days for all I kno nahmean. A lotta these joints coulda been leftovers from Justin other albums n shyt. But I aint mad. Aint nothin a skip button n a recycle bin (see ya Blue Ocean Floor!) cant fix namsayin. You can hear the Robin Thicke, Frank Ocean n even some Aubrey Graham influences on this shyt. In the end tho I cant hate. Son kinda did his thing nlike I said it wasnt exactly trash. Aight peace.
I gives this shyt 3 Zeus Slaps Outta 5
