Most people will arguably complain about the lack of tracks within this album but I feel that the deeply rich and the refined seven tracks are far superior to what Drake has been releasing recently with his most recent album, “Scorpion”, which is jumbled and full of filler tracks that lack the finesse that Drake’s previous albums have possessed. Resorting to crime has become a way to survive in Kanye’s hometown of Illinois as highlighted within the song: “All growin’ up in environment, where doin’ crime the requirement, they send us to prison for retirement.” To highlight the issue of the cycle of violence in our modern day world created by gang mentality in struggling areas in the United States, it shows how being freed from that requires a much higher power.

Using a call-and-response echo, Cudi calls through the lyrics of “lord shine your light on me”, while the backing vocals provides the response of “stay strong”. The standout moment within the album was past the midpoint of the album with the song, “Cudi Montage”. It’s particularly inspiring to hear Cudi repeatedly sounding so distant from his past troubled self which was exposed in his confessional 2016 Facebook post highlighting his neverending struggles with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. There’s arguably a reason why “Reborn” is the longest track on the already beautiful album it has become an anthem for exposure of Cudi and Ye’s troubled past and their escape and rebirth from the pits of their personal issues.
