The potential feels like it is there but if anything on the whole 'Pray for Paris' ends up feeling inconsistent and frontloaded. 'George Bondo' and '327' start the album very, very strong with some great guest features and songs that feel polished with shiny beats and nice production. The one issue this brings up is the best verses on the album come from Benny the Butcher, Tyler the Creator and Freddie Gibbs overshadowing Westside Gunn. The beats feel luxurious and often feature pianos and sometimes horns, choir vocals and other live instruments. They are nice but don't always suit Westside Gunn's style. He finds a nice groove in 'French Toast' but 'Versace', 'LE Djoliba' and 'Claiborne Kick' kind of fall flat despite having interesting beats and production. The adlibs are fun the first few times around but eventually it gets old hearing the same gun sound impression and skrrrrrrt boom booo boom boom for the 1000th time. Also, the monologue in 'Party with Pop Smoke' is supposed to be shocking/disturbing? It kind of comes off as an 8th grader trying to write something violent and edgy and is just a skip track.r

I don?t know what is in the water right now for all the Buffalo rappers coming out with records this year. Westside Gunn has always been a loose cannon when it comes to his music. Many of his albums have some strong highlights to them with off the wall rhymes and flows, but the rest can be very underwhelming and underdeveloped. On his 2020 release he seems to be turning a new leaf by really bring together all his strengths and bringing in some very unique guests that add to his dark flows. For the most part I really enjoy this record, but the last few tracks can see Gunn really going back to what he always has done; flounder.

I genuinely don't see what everyone else does in Griselda's stuff. This is just straight BORING, any cool ideas in the beats are buried by his incredibly uninteresting flow and voice, and his lyrics aren't good enough to justify putting so much focus on them.
