Not catchy enough for a period where songs still had to be mad infectious in order to blow up

it is now lmao
it officially dropped so long after it was exciting. the leaks and the performance was big but cdq wasn't available for weeks.
Lowkey I was fiending for the hillbillies to drop on streaming when the vid dropped, but it dropped a week later instead and I haven't spun it once
hard

basically this. ppl were going crazy over a s*** quality leak for a year and tbh I thought it'd never come out until he performed it in UK. by the time it dropped, the hype was already down. big faux pas
Drums are ass and the main riff could’ve been better sounding, outro was kind of plastic-y too
Should’ve kept the call & response hook from live performance
Good song bogged by questionable decision making
Saw Ye perform it live when Trav brought him out on the Days Before Rodeo tour at the LA show.
Literally almost passed out cause the crowd started going so crazy and moshing
Good times.
It was too experimental for what was popular in the mainstream at that time.
Despite everything this is it. I think this was the moment that Ye stopped the experimental/progressive wave he started in 2008 and became obsessed with wanting to be back on the radio after this didn’t work

I feel like he was trying to comeback from the negative feedback the hiphop heads/pop crowd gave about Yeezus which is what TLOP was. This is also why he scrapped Yandhi
There was a lot going on at the time. I feel like if it dropped today it would be pretty big
It’s way too grandiose, he tried to do way too much with the production, it’s like 5 songs in one.
It being nearly 6 minutes doesn’t help either along with half the song being muted on radio
Overall i think he should’ve kept it simple and done a quick 3 minute banger but he tried to turn it into a trap MBDTF song
