This was around his peak as a rapper but this might be the most self aware ye has ever been/

S*** hit me like a brick this afternoon.

and i would NEVER make his mom move to LA

He has better verses on this same album

just played this 15 minutes ago

i always loved Ye’s verse and thought it was the best on here until this year. Hov’s verse resonates a little bit more now that im closer to fatherhood. but yeah this song is a masterpiece and its a shame we’ll never get WTT2

Key phrase: cause you knew he wrote it

Jay Z said this one of his fav ye verses ever lol.

OG trilogy verses are all better

As a huge Drake fan this album is so incredible there’s not a single collab album that remotely comes close

He do but this verse generational though

So many great verses

Murder 2 excellence

Verses that he wrote?

Of course there’s better technical verses by him on this album + mbdtf.

Some say gorgeous his best display of rapping ability but, he aint pen that (mighta been the only time i legit was a lil saddened by one of them “cases”)

You cant ghostwrite a verse like this tho

I believe he wrote the Joy

New Day has always been underrated

this album is due for a relisten from me

New day >> the joy and i REPLACED Lift Mid with joy on my itunes lol

Some of the production aged like a 2words hot take im ngl

That was when niggas was still tryna hop on edm wave

The college girlfriend line is/was so real then and now

After that you kinda cooked at having a normal nuclear family based in (relatively) unconditional love if you dont get lucky lmaooo

Shawty still fine too lmao but bro dating glorified blowup dolls that dont even speak smh

I think we took for granted how good it is because it was so ubiquitous

Its some high level joints on there

yea thats my b**** is crazy lmao i remember listening to the leak on rap basement dot com or some s*** like that before the album came out and being like huh…

'make my son be republican so everybody know he love white people' line always make me laugh for how telling it is; beginning of the end.

otherwise, an admittedly touching song. watching their live performances of it is just as good
