How is it rewriting history? Amusement Park was TRASH. Listen to this beat by itself, it's fukkin' fire.
Now this is 50's lane, built to make smashes like this.. But he just didn't pull it off. The hook is a struggle fr. Disco Inferno on Massacre another huge miss for a mainstream single attempt.
Any numbers Amusement Park and Straight to the Bank did was off his buzz still beiing high at the time. Had those lead-off joints been better, followed up with the insane I Get Money, he definitely would have smashed Kanye in that album sales war...
I remember when both those joints came out, everyone thought they were mid, and lots of people called Amusement Park annoying.
I doubt anyone but Stans are listening to either of those songs in the past decade...
