Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
The crazy thing is that this album (which is a tour de force of nature) is just an extension of his mixtapes (and that's exemplary, because his tapes play like lp's themselves).


This man is something special.


When he raps, it's like i hear angelic melodies with celestial imaginary harps and thug lullabies.


You prolly don't know the extent of his lyrical wizardry and unparalleled wordplay (he makes the remainder of the Black Hippie click seem lost in different galaxies in the past and will take eternities upon eternities to catch up).


Now, i'm not about hugging nobody's nuts...


But i'd be proud to swing from Mr. Lamar's.


*props self up on testies, irregardless if one side is assymetrically hefty... just get the best of me and call me Penelope... heavenly*

harsh realities

word this is the best verse on that album:

The harsh realities of life is takin tolls
Even Jesus Christ forsake my soul
Please tell me what price to pay to make it home
Take control, I'm makin dough, but not enough to blow
J.O.'s, they lust my flows, but ayo, I don't trust a soul
That's all I know or need to, these evil streets'll meet you
halfway and eat you, I laugh tryin to survive illegal
I leave you lost, bounce you on the cross, whip you like a horse
Sacrife your life to a higher force
Then I stomp your corpse, it's compton of course recognize the accent?
One of the last livin still in action, general assassin
Catchin any wreck, blastin any tech
Smashin any chest, passin any test, Charles Manson in the flesh
Any last requests before you meet your maker?
Sow what you reap n wake up, shakin up a storm like Anita Baker
I'll take you straight to hell and fill your heart with hate
Incarcerate your fate in Satan's fiery lake, then I lock the gate
Make no mistake, The Sht is Real as Joe, we follow the killer's code
When we come for you, tell me where will you go?
Nowhere to run, hide, I'll find you and and silence your screams
And even if you kill me I'll still be in your fukkin dreams
