We might have to get one started to pass some quarantine free time soon It is weird to me how much Jay-Z is on here. He's got nothing to prove at this point, you'd think he wouldn't need to step all over the guy's debut record. One or two for clout sure but at some point you gotta just call it a duo or group or something. After a handful of listens I'm really into the second half. Lovin' Universal Soldier's slack-time drums and weird Chewbacca cries in the background (favorite detail of the album so far). Flux capacitor has a killer vocal sample and the perc. textures/choices are pretty bold. Ezekiel's Wheel goes into a musically bizzare zone I love although it kind of highlights what might be the record's weakness - not enough straight-up rapping and enough of the sparse hooks. But I generally care about the beats more than rapping anyway so that doesn't really bother me much. The closer is such a damn sexy song I couldn't care less what the words are. ...
