Imagine walking into a song where a nikka told a story backwards and even spit sentences backwards in rap form. Made easy to understand by the listener and coming away from it with ur nose turned up. It’s usually by nikkas with ZERO talent that got the most criticisms. Any person who understands what it is to write a Rhymes is thoroughly impressed by Rewind. nikkas crazy. The Coli fukkin sucks. Lol

I was so hyped to hear this in 2001, when I was in 10th grade. All the forums and articles were referencing Christopher Nolan's "Memento", which I had seen maybe the same year, and it was the "hottest" movie of the time. I was expecting this elaborate story, with double crosses, and plot twists, told backwards, an epic story, and I was casually let down, that it was just a very straightforward, simple tale, of a sex act, and seemingly senseless killing. Funny in retrospect, how we let these song titles and tracklists influence us.

classic movie

:gucci:Who the fukk would be dumb enough to expect all of that out of a 3-4 minute song tops? Was “Momento” told in 4 fukkin minutes?
