donda and donda 2 were so bad (as were most of the vultures songs previously released / planned for the album) that my expectations were rock bottom
stars - almost good but felt incomplete
keys to my life - shit
paid - good. i agree with nick that house influence is based
talking - kind of interesting but just doesn't sound very good
back to me - good. i like the percussion and it benefits from having someone who is good at rapping on it
hoodrat - kinda annoying but also good
do it - gets good at the end but mostly mid
paperwork - shit, sounds like something from donda 2
burn - i wish the whole album was like this. less than 2 mins long tho
fuck sumn - idk how i feel about this one. need to relisten and confirm the upload im hearing isn't just shit quality
vultures - mid
carnival - mid production, shit lyrics
so good - good especially towards the end but mostly just makes me want to listen to i feel love
problematic - probably the 2nd best song on the album
king - i like that he called himself an antisemite, good closer
overall: has 0 great songs, a few good songs, some shit songs, mostly mid. best songs (burn, problematic) had kanye rapping about things that are more relevant instead of slop. felt more cohesive than donda and donda 2 but still somewhat incomplete and unsatisfying
best songs: burn, problematic, paid, so good, king
worst songs: paperwork, keys to my life, carnival
score: im feeling a strong 5 to a light 6
