Mmmm the Madlib production on No More Parties in L.A. is exceptional and like you said, both Kanye and Kendrick’s performances on the track are marvellous! It’s my second favourite song on The Life of Pablo! It’s such a great song to play on the dance floor too, but it has that summer nights laidback vibe too! It’s a real gem!I think my thing with hot takes is I usually think in terms of my favorite instead of objective "best" - it feels weird for me to say something is the best because that implies some degree of objectivity which I lack entirely lol as for "No More Parties in LA" on top of having great performances from both Kanye and Kendrick, has my favorite beat in any Kanye song. But my Kanye opinions would be sacrilegious to most. I'd probably listen to Yeezus before I'd listen to TCD or Late Registration. But that's probably more of a generational thing too.
"Dracula" is a jam but it's also a deep cut, I can't imagine it would make my top 20 Gorillaz songs (a list I am not even remotely prepared to consider making) even though I do love it. But again - if you were to ask my favorite I'd probably say "Stop the Dams" which is a song I doubt many others care about and even among the fans it's not one I think too many others love to the same degree that I do.
I love Stop The Dams but it is not one of my favourites although it’s definitely one of their best deep cuts! But yeah, I think you have a special connection to that song, like you must be a top #5 Stop The Dams fan in the whole world because you are a humongous Gorillaz fan and I remember you being so psyched when you played Stop The Dams on the turntable!
My favourite song by Gorillaz would have to be “Feel Good Inc,”! Like I know it’s their most well-known track, but gosh, that baseline and just the moodiness yet how punchy and dreamy the song is, is amazing! And I feel like it’s a very authentic haunting, lonesome, animated song that’s gripping, fun and features a classic, fun, cartoonish verse from De La Soul! Like ‘Feel Good Inc,’ is too good! Really is! I love that track so much! ❤
