    Since I got the explicit/cdq version I started to like it a lot more. Gucci's appearance >

    Thoughts on the song after a few weeks?

    2chainz and gucci k--- it as expected but sean held his own too and sometimes his verse felt like the best or at least in par with the others

    Kinda the opposite for me, I played the s--- out of it when the radio rip dropped, and now I'm kinda meh on it. It's such an exciting lineup, and only about three of them came through. It's also pretty weird that it's supposed to be a single for a GOOD album and half of the people on the song aren't on the label

    Plus it has copious amounts of Sean, Travis and Desiigner, all of whom are decidedly s---

    In this case I agree with thy, Sean was not bad at all. Not a fan of Travis Scott and Designer at all, especially Designer, but they didn't bother me here. Kind of weird to have so many non GOOD music rappers on it, you're right.

    Instrumental sounds like a struggling Soundcloud producer put it together.

    Quavo's intro is obnoxious.

    Usually turn it off mid-way through 2 Chainz verse. I've probably listened to this in full 3 times. Doesn't give me hope for Cruel Winter.
