That nikka @A.V. got songs shytting on that verse easy



"Yesterday, I was ridin down the highway...
Da bul rollin on the low low...
I'm on the run, and my rearview...
...Pulled over by the po-po...
And I don't know why, he pulled over my car, for...
I'm thinkin bout buckin, he open my car door...
Got two choices y'all, pull over the car, or...
Bounce on the devil, get the FLUCK up outta there...
A nikka on the humble, can't chill. I'm a felon, wanted...
Just saw the news, got the blues. Wanna SET IT on em...
Paranoid, thinking should I pull the metal on him...
Split second...SKRRT & hit the pedal on him.
Still remember, what they did to Tre...
My nikka ran, and all they did was spray.
Pigs give away bullets, so I clipped the K...
But luckily, I wanna live today.
I woke up this morning, turned on the news...
Got bombarded, by the fukkery...
Between Donald Trump or a Clinton, nikka?
fukk BOTHA y'all, if it was up to me...
They goin overseas, throwin bombs up.
Back home, killin nikkas wit they arms up...
Then unconstitutionally, con us, wit poor conduct. My nikkas, ARM UP.
Gotta show these muthafukkas we ain't playin this year...
It's near genocide, how they hangin us here..
The prisons overcrowded, and they makin us fear,
Cuz the system really hate us, they ain't make it unclear.
They killed our leaders, tryna break us all...
Wanna do me like Pac, don't wait too long...
No disrespect to K. Dot or Cole, but if u ain't riding, I'ma take the fall.
My nikka..."

Name a Dave East verse that's as direct, technical and with even half as much to say. I'll wait



He should really shoot a video and push that song. I think it'll be a good look. It's dope asf.

its def. dope technically but he missing the swag in Dave East verse.

Its not what you say, its how you say it.

This is music, not poetry.

If anything I think it's the other way around, Dave sounded like he was tryna mimic Skippa Da Flippa's tone but couldn't figure out to deliver it.

I'ma let you cook though, Dave East ain't garbage but he is overrated imo.

Exactly why I think he's overrated. Mozzy has a much bigger organic buzz than Dave East ever had and he has a better discography, Dave East don't got a project fukkin with Bladadah or Yellow Tape Activities or even the new one he just dropped with June. Mozzy shoulda got that freshman spot way before Dave East period, he can more than hold his own bar for bar.

Mozzy buzz in growing but he is still regional when its all said and done.

Is he really more regional than Dave East tho? Without the XXL cover, what song would a West Coast nikka know Dave East for? The only song I actually heard any kind of buzz for was "KD" and that was in my circle of folks who check for East Coast rap. The way Dave East is getting pushed you would think he had Nipsey Hussle's level of fanbase/notoriety but he really doesn't.

Also, it don't make sense to say Dave East less regional than Mozzy when one got problems regularly pushing more than 1 million views on youtube and the other got multiple songs with 5 million or more. Do Dave East even got a song as popular as "Bladadah"?
