Re: What are your EOD “Hot Takes”?
Mask Off is the worst song in the EOD top 100. It has every element of a typical forgettable mumble rap song: Mumbling? Check. Random guy shouting nonsense in the background? Check.

Re: What are your EOD “Hot Takes”?
I had a hard time getting through Blonde when it came out. It starts off with three great songs, but I found it inconsistent at best after that. I loved Channel Orange and thought that was considered his masterpiece, so I'm shocked to see Blonde outperforming it. Maybe I should give it a second spin...

It's a shame that most of you seem to think 1950 is generic. I particularly love the bridge. It starts with a beautiful melody, adds a great ascending bassline, a nice harmony, and ends with a crescendo on a repeating leading tone, all elements that work really well for me and are not present in son...
