I'm like the only person who can't stand the beat or song. The beat sounds weak as fukk to me, paper thin. It's not smooth, it's just...cheap sounding. pass

I used to feel the same way. Instant skip. Until one day I just changed and loved it. Those background vocals from Arby's are sorta cringe tho. You can tell that back then he didn't have the meats.

Never thought about this as a precursor to 4:44 until now. It all makes sense.
Old heads taught me, youngin, walk softly
Carry a big clip, that'll get nikkas off me
Keep coke in coffee, keep money smellin' mothy
Chains is cool to cop, but MORE important are lawyer fees
- (Never Change)

Blueprint was the precursor to 4:44 imo, but I won't debate you tho.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high


I'm like a Russian mobster, drinking distilled vodka
Until I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real..
Peel the top up like a toupée, mix the water with the soda
Turn the pot up, make a soufflé

I'm living proof that crime DO pay
Say "Hooray" to the bad guy, and all the broads
Putting cars in their name, for the stars of the game
Putting 'caine in their bras and their tomorrows on the train:
All in the Name of Love..
Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came
Over the house to take back EVERYTHING that they claimed..


:wow:

Or even the worse pain is the distress
Learning you're the mistress, only after that love gets slain
And the anger and the sorrow mixed up, leads to mistrust
Now it gets tough to ever love again
But the allure of the game, keeps calling your name
To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
To all the Christies in different cities and Tiffany Lanes:
We all hustlers in love with the same thing..


Tiffany "Charli Baltimore" Lanes

The song is just complete perfection :ohlawd:
They way Pharrell brought his idea to Jay and they executed it flawlessly is just
