"Control System" is going to be a beast. Ab-Soul is comfortable as an artist and thankfully we don't hear him trying to be Kendrick. This instrumental sounds like something that could be play during Law and Order.

All the makings of a classic song, but I don't give 5's until I can't stop replaying a song.

The Chorus will make you add this to the MP3 player and run it back again and again. Good flow by Ab-soul and Kendrick Lamar. Can't do it much better than this. Good track.

Two of my favourite artists right now. One epic track stuck on repeat. A disagree Saif Ali, Ab-Soul kept with Kendrick.

Beat just decent but flow and lyrics through the roof. TDE kills it every time.

tI sounds like Soul stealing Drake, 2 Chainz and other flows and just blendin it all in with his. I like how that beat start off though.

Ab-Soul came correct but Kendrick is just on another level right now. I agree with Saif Ali...call it 'Bodied By Kendrick".
