Played this albums about 4 times now and it’s safe to say it’s the best rap album of the year so far. New flows unlocked, elite production from Ye/Pharrell and Malice sounding like he did during the Clipse days :wow: couldn’t ask for much more.

Feel like Pharrell's beats on this hit harder, maybe not in a literal sense but far as what the impact they have on the final product, and are more unique. But the work he does with Push and the Clipse, a lot of it has this sound that's got elements of bright and pop friendly, but it's hazy and got a sinister element underneath. It's perfect for Push's content and rhyme style. And I don't think you can separate quality of song and quality of beat when judging the producer. A good producer's job is not just sell the beat and walk away. It's to provide guidance and help craft the track.

That's not to say Ye didn't do a good job here. He did. Pharrell just outdid him.
High quality post right here.

repped for those bolded statements. The first is a super accurate description of Pharrell's work, and the second is a great true assessment of a producer instead of just listening to the beat in isolation.

This is definitely better than Daytona, which I thought was overrated as fukk on here.
