It's one of one. You just know it when you hear it.

LL manages to deliver aggressive lyrical content without ever being vulgar and you don't notice it's not there. His delivery, the conviction, the ominous "AHH", the beat are all more than enough.

"Don't call it a comeback! I been here for years // rocking my peers putting suckers in fear." right out of the gate. He doesn't waste any time, there aren't any filler lyrics.

It's just a hard track, still.

And then there's the chorus and video.

It's one of one. Never happen again. 5 mics. If you have a gym playlist it's probably on it.

I agree wholeheartedly with My Minds Playing Tricks on Me and TROY. I would add Follow the Leader and would challenge any of today's top 20 rappers to get on the track with a written rhyme and flow with the ferocity, flow, knowledge, length, and strength in the neighborhood of Rakim's classic verses. ANY including Jay and Nas.
