    All Day - SWISH?
    ​

    Going with a more recent song that came out early last year. All Day is suspected to be on Kanye's upcoming SWISH album. This song features Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and the great Paul McCartney who comes in at the end of the song on the CDQ version.

    This song had a whole bunch of people on the production team, however the producer who made the core of the beat was Velous, he talks about it in an interview on Hot97. The beat is fire, it sets the mood of the song being an upbeat, energetic song complemented with simple catchy lyrics that is easy to release your energy out by singing along.

    I think a lot of people can agree that the performance at the BRIT awards sounded better than the CDQ version of the song did and I reckon that Kanye believed this as well by posting this tweet:
    ​
    You can captivate the passion coming out Kanye's words better when he performed it live. Obviously the visuals helps the performance by making it a lot better because the whole set up was dope. However, there weren't too many people up and about in the crowd though, maybe it wasn't the right place haha.

    Theophilius London had a very small role on the song. He only had one bridge and it was quite small. I didn't mind it, he was kind of like a hypeman. All he did was hype up Allan Kingdom how was great on this track. He appeared on the song a couple of times with a few lines that were so catchy, a great addition to the song. "AT THE MOMENT I DISPERRRRERRRERRRSED"

    The last part of the song, as mentioned before was Paul McCartney. I'm gonna admit I wasn't the biggest fan of his contribution, it kind of killed the vibe of the song. However this is interesting, wouldn't have seen this if it weren't for RapGenius annotations... Video definitely worth checking out.

    Jakey's rating: 8/10 - Awesome song, I really enjoy listening to it.

    Rules: Give this song a rating/10 with and optional opinion/review.

    I'd probably give this a score of 7.5/10

    It's catchy and energetic which are great redeeming qualities. But like you said the live version s----s all over the CDQ version.

    7/10. It's a good song. I've grown to like it more over time. I can definitely appreciate it for what type of song it is.

    8/10 for me.

    I love the track. There's just so much going on sonically, you got: artsy synths, some chick wailing in the background, some chants, Allan & Theo doing some melodic singing, then there's the loud & distorted horns, Mccartney whistling while on the accoustic guitar, Vernon singing over some f----- up synths. Yet, though there's a LOT going on, everything comes together & works in perfect cohesion, the track is d--- well executed as a whole. The end result is a dope, interesting a--- track, when it comes to sound.

    Ye did his thing too, he kept his s--- simple & catchy, & it really worked here.

    My only complaint is that the track feels a bit too clean & polished, i definitely like the Brit Awards version more, since it just feels more raw.

    6/10 for me, lacks replay value but was a fun track when it first came out. Nothing bad to say about it but nothing great to say either.

    Completely agree with this, live version was much more raw.

    9/10 I've been bumping All Day non-stop since it came out. The song itself feels like an event, I swear I've seen a display of pyrotechnics come out of my subs whenever the track is playing.
