the instrumental is too reminiscent of "song cry" for my taste. sounds like a tory lanez version of a song that sounds like "song cry" if that makes sense to anyone. nas' flow is all over the place. he just doesn't know what to do over these "slower" modern beats. calling yourself the scarface of crypto is corny. forgettable verse from jay. i agree with tiger wood's assessment that this is supposed to be a giant event but is more underwhelming than anything

the most frustrating thing about khaled is that he is forever teetering on self-parody but never quite tips over because he is this weird combination of earnest and self-aware. this means i can't enjoy his music ironcially, which is what i truly want out of khaled's music at this point in his career
