Jarobi's verse on "The Killing Season"
Louder than a three pound, voices screaming mad to boot
It must be killing season, on the menu strangefruit
Whose juices fill the progress of this here very nation
Whose states has grown bitter through justice expiration
These fruitful trees are rooted in bloody soil and torment
Things haven’t really changed
Or they're dormant for the moment
Marks and scars, we own it, only made for tougher skin
Helps us actualize the actual greatness held within
Been on the wrong team so much, can’t recognize a win
Seems like my only crime is having melanin
Connection to the sun so strong the relationship is lusted for
Causes men to suffocate, I can’t breathe no more
Settle the score sadly, need an abacus to tally
Through all the peaks and valleys, yo, I recognize it sadly
Black soul bold enough, inner city cold enough
Watch me get all my goons, watch us get soldiered up

the killing season is a top three song on here. shyt is phenomenal. esp jarobi and consequence on there. also, kanye's hook with the triple entrendre.

 

[Deltron]

^^ probably my favorite song on the album

 

[Rekkapryde]

this, plus I also thought consequence held his own on each of his 4 appearances on here as well.. what about the 3k appearance. he was nice.

shyt, totally forgot about Cons. Yeah man,

Andre, nothing needed to be said.

I hope Tip still has a few Phife verses stashed.

 

[Rekkapryde]

first skim and this was dope but im going to find this itunes card i have lying around and buy this...the leak sounds kinda flat..need it in better sound quality for sure

Yeah, that's why I'm getting the CD.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I need to give this a listen.

Fred.

Fam, you haven't listened yet?

which is cuz neither q-tip nor phife appear on this song.

 

[mastermind]

I'm not kidding here. When you listen to this, you'll know straight from the off that this is a Tribe album and an album of the highest quality.

this is hte thing that stuck to me.

It sounds like it fits today. The beats are contemporary. It sounds like it fits today.

But it sounds very true to their sound.

I copped it off Itunes like a week ago but a Tribe album....what is probably the last Tribe album....is not something I can listen to frivolously. Normally I throw on music when I'm cooking or doing whatever around the house but I'm not listening to this until I have a solid hour to really digest it.

Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow
They are extensions of instinctual soul



Real recognise real

I'm saying breh. Not to sound but back in the 90's I'd catch the Troost bus out to Bannister Mall which was a 40+ minute ride in KCMO. So any new music I had, I could actually listen to the shyt. It's hard to find time to do that when you're an adult.
