    I love how OP just glosses over We Made You not being up to par/good compared to the other songs with no explanation at all :lmaooo:

    Not saying I disagree or anything but it was funny imo

    And they say that love is powerful as cough syrup in Styrofoam
    All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo
    With the ugly Kardashian
    Lamar, oh sorry yo, we done both set the bar low

    Third verse is fun but I can agree for the most part

    Rick Rubins Production on MMLP2 was the biggest Let down for me, the whole production was not that good tho
    Expected more from a so-called legend.

    Agreed. The 80s rock & oldies beats that Rick brought forth just didn't work that well for Em.

    Rick is still a legend, he has a great track record when it comes to his involvement in other albums, usually the end result of those albums is very good. But yeah, he did do a d--- poor job exec'ing MMLP2.
