Black Rob - Life Story is so underrated

[Air Nikes N Hats]

Album was solid and still gets some play to this day.......my only beef was the length. Had he left some of the filler off, and toned down the guest appearances, it could have been near-classic.

I meant the song specifically. But I hear you

Can you forgive me....can youuu forgive me.....

Yeah the song goes hard hell that whole album is flames. Can I live was my shyt too.

My life story isn't nearly like Rob's, but the general themes of the song, for anyone who went through it with their Mom, getting thrown out, forgiveness, redemption, guilt, and pain......it's a tough listen sometimes.

"I've died inside so many times.....I know I haven't been the best...I showed you things, you shouldn't have seen...."

For me, though, it's not my Mom, but me, who fukked up.

BR in general is underrated.

Whoa Beat still one of the best NY bangers ever

The steel drums on Jasmine were perfection.

I think I really cottoned on to 'Life Story' around 02.

A few albums have made me literally when I heard them after sleeping on them for a long ass time. This was one of them. Same with G-Dep 'Child Of The Ghetto'.

I think I copped them both on sale too. Rob's storytelling was incredible. I know he did the cover of Children's Story - but how have we never got a Slick Rick / Black Rob song? shyt would be cinematic



As far as I'm concerned, Life Story was flawless.

Bought this album over Beans “Thr Truth”... store dude told me BR had the better album, songs and production.... he didn’t lie

Although I came back like 2 weeks later to cop The Truth.... solid album as well, lol

 

[Maximus Rex]

Seen homie at the Tunnel early 2000's..performed "whoa", shyt was on tilt.

I love the song and whole album tbh. Lot of real spill on it. "Can I live"
