“New God Flow” begins with a sample from Reverend G.I. Townsel’s “A Sermon Fragment, before morphing into a dramatic piano rift. The song then takes cues from “Synthetic Substitution’s” drum beat, as Pusha T presents a verse reminiscent of his days in Clipse. Kanye West follows Pusha with a sub-par verse. The song then mutates with a different, improved drum beat, courtesy of Kanye, before he ruins it all by telling an imaginary crowd to chant various words. Two minutes and 21 seconds is the perfect time to stop this song. “New God Flow” only gets worse as it progresses. I appreciate West’s effort, but this song belongs to Pusha T. Both speak about “how no one can hold [them] down.” However, Kanye’s delivery is ruined by mixing in unrelated nonsense.
