[DaveyDave]

not bars so i apologize in advance but this fits the theme perfectly because it's the epitome of self awareness. hell, this could have gotten him kicked out of hip hop for even saying this. damn i miss the old yeezy man, off last call:


I made this one beat where I sped up this Harold Melvin sample
I played it for Hip over the phone, he's like, "Oh yo that shyt is crazy
Jay might want it for this compilation he's doin' called 'The Dynasty'
And at the time, like the drums were really weren't soundin' right to me
So I went and um, I was listening to Dre Chronic 2001 at that time
And really I just, like bit the drums off Xxplosive and put it like with a sped-up sample....


c'mon b you gotta find the same record dre used and then chop the drums different you can't straight take his shyt nikka

pete, kamaal, extra p & preemo heard that shyt like

mans he admitted in Scratch that he stole drum discs from Eminem which at the time was probably basically just Dre drums anyway

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms, but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise,
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize: I'ma learn through HER
The Messiah, might even return through HER
If I'ma do it, I gotta change the world through HER

- Common (Be Intro)

When i see it written like i see he was saying her as in his daughter and H.E.R. as in hip hop
