What one rap jewel has stuck with you in life brehs? (everyone contribute)

[BronxFleeZ]

He is saying that because he has done so much that is memorable to you as the listener and fan of his, then as long as his fans live on he is immortal because they know all of his songs, deeds, exploits, etc. Ppl like me carry on his memory. And unless all of us are killed he can never die.

His last album is titled Fait Acompli which roughly translated means "That which is already done can never be undone."

He actually talks about immortality and reincarnation on multiple occassions throughout his albums.

"In my past life, I slayed hundreds.
In the life before that, I played trumpets... to warn you that I was coming" -Canibus


Definitely one of my favorite artists.

Didn't look at it like that. Good looking brother.

I need you to explain this to me. Please. If you do then I'll rep and dap you with no problem. But please, explain this.

it means that by listening to him (his music, ideas, etc) he'll be forever part of your consciousness. so even if he dies, if you wake up tomorrow, he lives on through people he affected by existing.

or something like that.

My big brother was Bigs brother
So here's a few words from your kid brother
If you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell um
People never get the flowers while they could smell um
An idol in my eyes, God of the game
Heart of the city, Rockafella chain
Never be the same, never be another
Number 1 young Hov also my big brother

Simple and hardly unique, but the context of where Kanye was, where he wanted to be and the concept of the whole song, shyt was great.
