Oct 18, 2021 I wouldn't say that I was never blinded by what people said about this song I'm talking strictly from his point of view in every part of that post
Oct 18, 2021 Walk on Water was a great single, but the album didn’t match the precursor that it set. The rollout, content, sequencing & so on were completely unmatched, it does lead me to believe there was a switch up somewhere between the single release & the track list reveal.
Oct 18, 2021 100% I feel like we could've got that true grown mature serious album if the response wasn't so overwhelmingly bad. It's funny the idea that he thought remind me and heat were album material not just bonus tracks reminds you of a desperate mad drugged up Em on encore with the good s--- leaking so he does whatever he wants with the album half assing it.
Oct 18, 2021 I honestly never got to like or enjoy Walk On Water. The idea and the concept are good. But I don't like the instrumental. I don't like how Em flows on the song. I don't like the tone he used on it. The cadence is far from what Em is capable of. There's no chemistry between Beyonce and Em (which is usually what happens when artists collaborate over the internet as opposed to be in the studio together).
Oct 18, 2021 Yeah the real revival definitely got shelves for some reason. What a s--- show that was.
Oct 18, 2021 I think he was going to make an extremely political album (Campaign Speech, Trump freestyle) which I’m not sure would’ve been much better. Seems he only kept a few cuts for the release: Untouchable & Like Home. Untouchable content was extremely fresh though & the writing was great, if he was to surround that with a better execution then it would’ve gotten much more positive attention.
Oct 18, 2021 Em needs to rip Snoop would be epic. b---- 3 would be a perfect single would make people crazy…
Oct 18, 2021 I feel like the way it is makes it very unique in his catalog people wanted rap god 2 when they seen the announcement of walk on water so were already preparing for a let down. The song is supposed to sound desperate and nervous so the way it is now fits. I appreciate the little things like you being able to hear him running out of breathe etc sounds vulnerable.
Oct 18, 2021 Well described. It’s a mood-setter, not a radio single, but the mood it set became more of a badly timed joke after the release.
Oct 18, 2021 Unfortunately that's how it ended up :// such a great song that a lot of his fans still seem to not understand I'm glad you do though
Oct 18, 2021 A music video would be sick. I'm wary about the song though. The preview sounded mid af. Still very much looking forward to it.
