Best:

I Got The Keys- I honestly thought that this would be a train wreck, but it was pretty decent. Future did his usual stick by just repeating 1 word with a bunch of AutoTune, but it works and it didn't felt out of place or annoying. The beat in my opinion did felt a little weak on some parts of the song, but I did enjoy it though. Jay-Z also did a good job on this song and this is the most on point performance I heard from him in a while, but he did stumble a little on his 2nd verse. But other than that, he was the best part. As for DJ Khaled, he didn't do much (other than ramble) but that's a good thing. Overall, this song does have its problems. But it's decent and it's definitely better than "For Free". 3.5/5

Sucker For Pain- This wasn't anything special, but it was decent. Dan Reynolds & Sam Harris did a fine job on here, even though their parts were short. Ty Dolla Sign was also fine on here and he definitely stayed the most focused with what he's saying & how it fits with the movie. Logic and Wiz Khalifa's part were pretty forgettable & I didn't really get anything out of their performances or lyrics. Lil Wayne definitely stole the show on this one and I liked how he mentions his personal life especially with the whole seizures situation. Overall, this is decent! 3/5
She Got A Way With Words- I had no interest listening to this song, because I'm not a huge fan of Blake Shelton or Country in general. But this okay in my opinion. Blake sounded decent on here while he sings about the break up of him and Miranda Lambert. But the writing in this song especially in the hook is the cheesiest thing ever. "She put the S.O.B. in sober. She put the hang in hangover (hangover). She put the ex in sex. She put the low in blow". You can't tell me that's the most cheesiest thing you ever saw. But other than that, this was okay. 3/5
LUV- I heard and talked about this song before on Twitter, but I totally forgot how it went or what I said about it. After re-listening to it, I'm not surprised that I forgot about it because this is lackluster. Now I will admit that Tory Lanez and some parts on the beat don't sound too bad, but I just don't buy his accent he's pulling off and there's already a bunch of dancehall tracks on the charts & he's not bringing anything new. Speaking of dancehall, Tory Lanez bites a lot from One Dance by Drake. He made some references to that song and he even brung up the "Love Me Long Time" line from Full Metal Jacket (which is unnecessary and there's too many songs that reference it). Even with all that, I still don't find Tory Lanez as a sweet talker and him trying to get this random chick is just laughable in my opinion. I don't like this at all and it's even worse than Say It. 1.5/5
No Limit- Well, this was really boring and lackluster. Nothing about this song got me hyped or excited for Usher's return. Speaking of which, Usher sounds really bored in this song and his voice doesn't match with this dark and limp trap beat. As for the lyrics... Well, the lyrics is basically "Whatever You Like" by TI, but without the fun or charm to it. Also Usher says some stuff in this song that is not sexy at all and Usher is known for being sexy. As for Young Thug, his part was uninteresting as well. Besides 1 line that had me rolling my eyes, he served no use in this song. Overall, this was really boring and a huge disappointment from Usher. Step your game up, man! 1.5/5
Worst
