[@SpiderJAAM]

Nah, "Life of the party" above "The heart part 5", Andre is rapping about talking to Donda and asking her about his own mother. His verse perfectly encapsulates the whole message of the whole album being a tribute to Kanye's mom, plus he gets extremely personal, plus that "hard division/ heart conditions" bar is one of the best (if not THE best) bar of the whole album.

[@turifabbot240]

My problem with Life of the Party is that Andre carries the fuck outta that song. Kanye’s verse is nowhere near as good as Andre’s, let alone any of Kendrick’s on THP5. It’s essentially a Kendrick vs. Andre song, and as a song THP5 is the better song overall.

[@serzex1770]

Heart part 5 still better

[@SpiderJAAM]

@@turifabbot240 To me, Kanye was decent enough for the song to work, the beat was fire, and the DMX's audio of him and his daughter at end was just perfect. But I can also see how the same argument could be made about Kendrick's tribute to Nipsey at the end, so it really depends for me.
