word @IronFist,thy also felt that album didn;t get its just due,it had a few duds,but the heat of the first 5 songs,I,Let Us Pray,Jacob Never Died(
),The Confession Booth(love raw honest autobiographical shyt),Truth,&The God Within overshadow the average by miles..
@god shamgod deedni,everything about that track is ethereally dope,love the beginning sample of the kids,the way the beats comes in,of course the jewels(
"..from a speck of dust,to my exodus,to the black holes,to the nebulas,i hear mystic messages in raindrops,crack the code of the crops,my brain locks,then slide out the chamber,ink spills all over the papers,the diary books of a gangsta.."
),but the whole song is a quotable dough,and then the end sample to add the icing to the proverbial cake..
picking a favorite track from this cat is impossible,the god is an otherworldly prophetic emcee but i guess for the sake of the thread i'll pick Shadow Landz since even amongst Priest/PWOWR stans thy rarely see it mentioned..the first verse especially is majestic,for the sake of space/attention spans i won't post the whole thing.but THIS:
"..the sepher yetzirah cards said Priest is a god
go ahead read em all,you'll still see me as lord
Father's Enoch,my mother is Sepiroth
blessed,born naked near a barn in the desert
placed in the arms of a shepherd
I LET THE TRUTH LOOSE BEFORE I TAKE EXIT
LAUGH TO MYSELF,HOW YA'LL CALLING ME WALTER
BODY NEVER DIES,IT JUST TURNS TO WHITE SUDS ON TOP OF OCEAN WATER"
thy need to use,
"don't be mad at me,i'm just a deity" in some form,Priest should make it into a t-shirt/hoody slogan with some mothership artwork..
