That Armani chick is the worst, did she study Lil Kim’s and Foxy’s cadence and tried to replicate it in 2020? That verse fukked my mood up.

Hah that's one of my favorite songs on the album. I thought she killed it. But I like fox and kim to so :manny:

:picard:Man, this might be my least favorite WSG project in close to 5 years, and one of the weakest Griselda releases period. I feel like this project plays right into all the recent memes about him. I been seeing a lot of memes about Griselda and drumless beats on The Booth recently, but this really is. A couple points.

- Conway's most recent 2 projects there's only 1 drumless beat on the Alchemist produced EP and only 2 drumless beats on the Big Ghost produced EP. Benny's most recent 2 projects there's only 2 drumless beats on Tana Talk 3 and there's no drumless beats on Plugs I Met. WWCD also had no drumless beats. But here on Awesome God 2 there are only 2 beats with drums. shyt's overkill.

- The verses seem mad lazy compared to Awesome God and Paris. Awesome God sounded cohesive enough to be an album, and calling this Awesome God 2 when this is so much lazier and hastily pasted together seems weird. Awesome God by most accounts is one of his better releases, so naming this one as a sequel to that seems dumb.

- I agree with the people saying this seems like a promotional vehicle for Cooks, Boldy, and Armani. I know West is not an emcee's emcee, but the verses on here from those them and Benny mostly outshine West on here.

- Paris was a dope project, and I don't get the few people that seem to like this more. Besides nothing on here to me that's touching tracks like 327, Bondo, Euro Step, $500 Ounces, Shawn vs Flair, or Clairborne Kick.

- Even the cover art seems lazy.

This is a solid 2/5 from me. :hubie:Maybe it'll grow on me, but we'll see.
