Beyond the lyrical content, this is just a bad song. The production is lazy and boring, Kanye's flow is almost painful and TI sounds like he's barely awake.
I put on my bravest face and gave every song about 30 seconds to a minute.
It is really really bad. Probably worse than you think. When it isn't offensively bad it is offensively inoffensive. The best songs are the ones you've already heard. Nothing really even comes close to being as catchy as rockstar or candy paint or as good of production as Psycho.
Friendly reminder that this was an actual spoken word section on "Colors" from her debut album:
"You were red, and you liked me because I was blue
But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky
Then you decided purple just wasn't for you"
It is pretty silly to see the pure unadulterated disdain some people here have for Cole. Apparently being kinda political and largely inoffensive is a MASSIVE problem.
Pyramid of Bones seems to have been a timed exclusive on Julian's website or something. Maybe didn't wanna give a spot to a song that they couldn't provide a link for.
I really, really like the 1975's version of this and this is a damn good cover, Chvrches and the 1975 really aren't too far off like Tom said. But this version made me realize how good the drumming on the 1975's version is.
I'm also kinda surprised by how much this is pretty much just a straight cover of the 1975's version.
Yeah, lol. Kris Wu is Chinese, Rich Brian (formerly Rich Chigga) is Indonesian, Joji (aka Filthy Frank, aka Pinkguy, aka George Miller) is Japanese-Australian and Trippie Redd and Baauer are American.
I would have put Gambino over Bruno and Cardi but only because I really really love Terrified. Other than that I basically agree, although everything beyond SZA was essentially interchangeable in its boringness and mediocrity. I would have ranked Elton and Miley a bit higher though, although I was confused why Elton John couldn't have just done that himself? Why exactly did Miley need to do well over half of the singing on the song?
