"Battle scars and tribulations, downfalls from the situations
I bounced off with dedication, accounted for my participation
Getting pounds off, getting rounds off
Getting blocks back I facilitated
When I sound off, you a groundhog
That's a casket and a pillar waiting"

Y'all think we are getting extra verses on King's Dead :ohhh:? The og track always sound like they cut Rock off (a random line out of nowhere) in favor of that Killmonger beat switch with Kendrick at the end


Where the Jigga track :feedme:. Kinda shocked he got Cole on this - I know Rock about to eat his lunch on the track though :mjgrin:

I'm so ready for the 15th :noah::ohlawd::sadbron:


The TDE general finally getting his just due brehs :mjcry: - its been a long time coming :blessed:

90059 is my shyt. Rock was the 1st one I was listening to real heavy as far as TDE is concerned. Back when I watched that low budget blood walk video, lol. That being said, like somebody said, he's clearly been bitten by that Kendrick experimental bug. The change in his adlibs, vocal alterations, Freeway like rhyme scenes (taken to the next level), and more. Now, it's working for his flow and bar wise. 90059 shows that tremendously. 90050 still gave you that Jay Rock feel along with that though, like he wasn't too far gone.

That's not to say he's too far gone now but I feel he bout to fukk up the balance he had on 90059 and go full throttle in one direction. I hope I'm wrong though. King's Dead is a dope track. I just need a Future-less version, I'm sorry. I'm not really feeling "Win" like that but I understand what he's trying to do. We'll see though. I don't need him morphing into Kendrick lite tho. Sometimes, all I want Mr. Kung Fu Kenny to do is just shut up and rap like he did on Nosetalgia with Push.
