    I see Westside as an “album director” almost more than a rapper. He doesn’t need to be centre stage all the time and let’s others shine. There’s just no other artist who picks beats and features as well as he does, to the point where he don’t even rap on some tracks but they still definitively feel like Westside Gunn songs.

    I love how Westside uses samples that pertain to his situation or past situation.
    On the song Celine Dion that sample that’s right in the middle of the song says “ That’s right took me a couple minutes longer than I anticipated, What can you expect? I was fighting 2 world champions that night “ I feel this sample could slightly be alluding too the fact he dropped HWH8 right in the middle of Donda and CLB and side B came out a little later, “2 world champions”

    Say what you want about Westside Gunn but that guy is ALWAYS moving, and has definitely changed the game if you look at Griselda's impact overall the past 3-4 years. I get it if his sound isn't for you, but even outside of performing, he's proven himself to be as good or better as an Executive Producer/"curator" than guys like DJ Drama and Khaled

    Coming back to this review a year later and I still cannot believe he doesn’t even mention 716 Mile. In my opinion it’s literally westside gunn’s best song. By far. It’s one of the best produced songs ever as well. God that beat is so good. And Boldy James’s feature is one of if not the best verse on the entire album.

    Seems like 2021 is a good year for both Anthony and his fans. So far, he has given 2 albums a 10, 4 albums a 9, over 32 albums an 8 and over 45 albums a 7. Over the years Antony has put me on to some good shit and believe he has done the same for a lot of you guys out there too, I think music is a way of life and helps billions get through utter fuckery, shit, sour times, hard times, dark times, whatever the fuck you wanna call it, music can help get you through all that shit. So, for all the music Anthony has given me (directly or indirectly) and all the music he'll give in years to come, I sincerely, fucking thank you.
