Shawn was on that gospel sh*t.” I was on my way to becoming a member of the peanut gallery screaming at him to “just retire” but then “Family Feud” hit followed by “Bam” and I heard the line that put it all in proper perspective. ![]() ![]() Then it happened again on “The Story of O.J.,” “Smile,” “Caught Their Eyes,” and parts of “4:44.” The rhymes are on point - that was never in question - but the flow felt lacking and it made me hit an actual screw face on first listen. But maybe it was just for this one joint and it’d be easy to ignore. The liquid flow seemed a tad constipated and the shit wasn’t sweet. A few seconds after the beat kicks in on “Kill Jay Z,” one of JAY ‘s- yeah another name change- greatest gifts seemed to be at odds with the man himself.
