MR HIMT.I.3.0 out of 5 stars · 4d ago

Pharrell on the boards and you can hear it right away, that skeletal low-end-forward thing he's done since the Neptunes days, more space than notes. T.I. doesn't chase it, he leans back and lets the pocket carry him, which is the smart move this far into the run. Second single off Kill The King, and if he really is closing the book after this, going out over a beat this unbothered isn't a bad way to do it. Only thing is the drums sit a little clean for me, could've used some grit, but the bass has real weight to it.

Al's low end is still there, the drums have that dusty give nobody else gets. but four songs plus four instrumental versions is a stretch to call a record. G Rap gets maybe a verse on Gutter Pain and then he's gone, 2 Chainz coasts through Beat Like a Key over a nice psychedelic loop and that's about the whole highlight. this plays like offcuts from a better project he's sitting on. i'd rather wait for the full G Rap album everyone knows he owes us.
