    After several listens, I'd say that Kanye's verse is good... But not great.

    I wish his delivery was a tad bit more aggressive.

    Also, the verse is all over the place/scatter brained.

    It's better than the "Eazy" verse, so at least it's a step in the right direction.

    "I go back to college, do an album, then dropout again" line's a classic though

    And now it'll be actually remembered as a good hook and not some middle of the road EDM bullshit no one will care about if they even do now, Chainsmokers fell off

    They still doing 31M listeners on Spotify, they don't mind lol

    Kanye's verse on here had so many explicit references/callbacks to other s***, so honestly a terrible take.

    Just heard OG song

    Hook is fantastic imo both songs. Need more women singing hooks in rap. Tired of all these niggas tryna sing

    Generally I agree, the hook here though is ok, i don’t mind it

    Alicia and Ye killed this track

    They still doing 31M listeners on Spotify, they don't mind lol

    It'll be 15m in five years, they made pop tunes but unless you're into the EDM/House scene, they don't have much longevity. That genre in general is very fickle, I've seen so many good artists come and go at these raves hahah

    Agree. Well I don't know if it's just because I'm getting tired of his music or if he missed but I do not enjoy his part if I'm honest

    Came a little too aggressive screaming and s*** imo song sounds hard hitting but its pretty relaxed/chill in vibe overall to me

    This and this again. An Alicia Keys hook on a well thought rap song had me jumping to the roof before I even heard the song

    would you rather a technically well sung hook that sounds a bit contrived or a more shoddily sung (but passable) hook with maybe more personality

    I hope City of Gods isn't on this, s*** is just worse Off The Grid. The synth lines during the verse like DUH DUH DOOOOO are like the same exact thing, lol.
    Cool Ye verse, but it's not worth it. Keys was awful on it, but they didn't really give her a good melody to work with so I'm not sure it's her fault.
    I would have much preferred a more stripped back icy, spacial vibe where Ye and Fivo just each had one good verse and Keys was in the middle with a soft chorus, but I guess that's not the direction they wanted to go with this.
