Versa is the most tenacious stan of all time. I feel his energy. Still very sad to see.

Dude changed my life. I legit love everything he stands for and think he's easily best to ever do it. I go hard.

The funny thing is that, believe it or not, I'm on the lower end of his "Stans" as far as exuberance and overall aggressiveness goes. I've seen a woman with verses and quotes from the dude tatted on her body, and I don't even have to bring up the rally outside Atlantic Records to get Lasers released. I'm mild in comparison.



He's top 5 as far as stan's go on here no doubt.. At least he stans someone with talent and a positive message though...

:manny:

Lol. Thanks I guess.

Form Follows Function....

it's. just. good. It's like he's just playin with n!ggas on this song. On some, "I'm gonna show n!ggas how good I can rhyme." Sh!t's like MJ against the Blazers in the first half of the Finals. He sounds effortless on that sh!t. Damn.

Yeah, FFF and Put Em Up are his straight up "I'm better than you" songs on this album. "Dumb It Down" was it for The Cool, and F&L I and Lasers didn't really have one.

Album still feeling like the first time I played it :whew:

It gets better with each spin for me man. Dude was not lying when he said the album is a slow burn. Once you begin to fully understand the concepts and the lyrics - you only like it more.

After hearing his freestyle on Funk Flex I can no longer take these so called elite rappers serious when they use writtens as a crutch and refuse to come off top.. Dude is really a lyrical prodigy..In the same mold of a Resurrection era Common Sense but in same ways even more advanced..There are probably some lines on this album I won't fully digest until listening for the 50th time..The fact that I'm gonna be trying to figure out exactly what this dude is saying is gonna give the album crazy replay value to me..

I just wish some of the hooks were more gutter....

I gotta listen to it when i'm doing nothing I guess. Stopped after the 4th song cause I just...couldn't get into it. Maybe it's the beats or something, but I think it's cause i'm at work doing work and can't LISTEN to him in detail. :manny:

only skips are "heart donor" and "how dare you"

14 songs half are classic.. other half are NEAR classic... i dont throw that word around often..

but this album is simply beautiful, deep, and inspiring..
