JID spent three years since The Forever Story working on the next step, and they seem to have paid off very handsomely in the new album God Does Like Ugly.<\/a> While it’s only been out for a couple of hours, the hip-hop community is loving it and sharing its praises proudly on social media.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s the feature choices, the half-rugged and half-pristine sonic direction, or the Atlanta spitter’s absurd flow switches and narrative ability, fans found a lot to love. JID already gave them a “preluxe”<\/a> earlier this year with some other fiery tracks to hold them over. That quality standard was never a worry for die-hards, but they’re still happy he surpassed them.<\/p>\n

Of course, a lot of the Internet hype came via the surprise features on God Does Like Ugly. These include Clipse, Vince Staples<\/a>, Westside Gunn<\/a>, Baby Kia, Mereba, EARTHGANG, Don Toliver<\/a>, 6LACK, Ciara<\/a>, Jessie Reyez, Pastor Troy, and Ty Dolla $ign<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Even though the stars came out to play, the Dreamville MC led the whole thing expertly in fans’ eyes. They picked up on a few lyrical narratives, such as his industry comments and his artistic reflections on simpler days.<\/p>\n

JID New Album God Does Like Ugly<\/p>\n

In addition, this follows a lot of other recent rap storylines and other collaborations that have built up God Does Like Ugly as a key hip-hop event of the year… Perhaps the decade. Not only did Clipse continue their run here, but more importantly, JID’s recent Alfredo 2 feature<\/a> prepped fans in the perfect way for these lyrical gems within. <\/p>\n

The “32”<\/a> creative still has a lot of depth and detail in God Does Like Ugly which fans still have to unpack. Sure, the reception isn’t all positive, but the overwhelming acclaim will probably evolve a lot over time. After all, deeper analysis of the record can’t materialize in just a few hours.<\/p>\n

Fan Reactions<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, we’ll see how God Does Like Ugly ages not just this year, but across the next years of contemporary hip-hop discourse. JID gave fans another great body of work here, and their reactions feel quite cathartic after the post-Forever Story wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JID spent three years since The Forever Story working on the next step, and they seem to have…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":129448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[171,67308,2260,78962,78964,78963,975,41400,50,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-129447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-fan-reactions","10":"tag-hip-hop-news","11":"tag-j-i-d","12":"tag-jid","13":"tag-jid-god-does-like-ugly","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-new-album","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114994010122031183","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
