I liked the Weeknd version of whatever the 80 degrees leak ended up being called. The Ant Clemons version was better but it was nice to have a more polished sounding version too, and I was glad the song finally made it on an album.
The song before that one with Fivio was cool.
Come to life was nice.
Anyway, these are my opinions from before the “white lives matter” “fashion show”. I already heard about the “DJ Khaled’s son” stuff by that point, so idk why I gave him the benefit of the doubt. But it all ended after that for me. I was still exposed to his later stuff through work, peers, review/reaction video channels etc. And from that perspective, it wasn’t that he as someone of genuine artistic merit had less of a hand in his music and therefore that it was bad. Rather it was that the swifties were right: he fell off.
