exactly what I wanted from him after Views (which I liked) was a light hearted party jam that took that silly pool size feud with Kanye and made a record about it. He's got enough fun songs in his catalog at this point it's obvious he could just make a fun album if he wanted to, but even here he feels too indebted to his "trap" side to fully commit; it'll do numbers because it has something that appeals to everyone and, like Views, that's what he needs in the streaming space to make ends meet but man does this thing feel long, unfocused and sleepy despite having more dancy, poppy songs than at least since his debut.
