So some of you may have seen my criticism of WTT and some of you have agreed and some of you have disagreed. Now realize I never said it was a bad record, but it was very flawed.
Slowly though, my opinion of the record right now is strangely positive. Yes, it's still very flawed. "Lift Off", while one of my favorite PRODUCED tracks, has no lyrical value whatsoever. "Why I Love You's" abrupt ending really stalls the record from being one of the best. Kanye isn't on this record as much as he should have been. But at the end of the day, it's definitely a record that pushes some boundaries.
What I think I overlooked were some of the lyrics. Some of them are some of Jay's and Ye's best and its great that they showed a wide variety of their thoughts. Some of the references to their rich lifestyles say something that I probably didn't see the first time.
I've listened to WTT about 11-12 times trying to figure the record out, and for now, while I know now it'll never be MBDTF Pt. 2, it's a good record with tons of quotables.
