Now I'm ready to chill but you still want me to kill 
"Look at what I did for you dog, come on, keep it real"
Alright, fukk it, I'ma do it, who is it this time
"Ay yo remember that kid Sean, you used to be with in 89?"
Nah, that's my man
"I thought I was your man?"
But yo, that's my nikka
"Hey, who's your biggest fan? Either do it or give me your right hand, that's what you said"
I see now, ain't nothin' but trouble ahead...

Bought it just to hear LL respond to Canibus on the bonus disc.
Didn’t know I was in for a fukking CLASSIC listening experience. 20 years later I still find time for that album. Just a masterpiece
That brother caught the Holy Ghost on nikkas done started something. Textbook definition of blacking out on a track and this was AFTER ma$e got done blacking on the same song.

Classic. This thread should be bigger.
Rappers today don't black out no more unless it's for an opioid related reason

highschool memories
I remember the smell of rain and the chills down my spine when I was bumping this shyt
those bells
One of the realest verses on the album.The final verse of Look Through My Eyes always gave me chills
"I bear my soul, nikkas wouldn't dare, my role
Give to nikka a heart of gold but with a hole
Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight
Just like first I'm sold an eight, then told it's not an eight
But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made
That's what I get for fukking with strangers in the shade
This is it, y'all nikkas got to give me a plate
For the same reason that fate, chose to give me the way
Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me
The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty
It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him
Personal feelings put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him
What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him
But it seems like I've been called on to show him
So I'ma show him
And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me
I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly"
my nikka is the literal GOAT.. ill be back to talk more about X later but ive never heard an album as good as this front to back.
imagine trying to actively get a record deal since 85 ... being unsigned hype in the source in 92 and not blowing until 98?
now a days nikkas make one song and put it on youtube and are famous. X debut album was 26years of struggle and pain unleashed over 18 songs
X also wrote a large portion of this album in jail. which is why he rapped with a scattered flow on alot of songs. he didnt have beats in jail.
the power of this nikkas grind was incredible. realist nikka of all time. so controversial and contradictory.. but thats human nature... we all have been guilty of doing some fukked up shyt and then praying to god for help.. you cant relate to tje pastor in church who projects a perfect image. but you can relate to a nikka that comes where you come from having a conversation with the lord.

my mans and them one of the greatest slangs phrases ever lol.

for a nikka thats not that "lyrical" X had a habit of blacking on these dudes (24hrs to live, money power respect, 4321)

perfect use of smileys. lol at the devil being
nikka dead had a conversation with the devil on a song (snoop did it on murder was the case I know, but X damien voice wasnt studio effects) I remember reading that nikkas in the studio were freaking out when X recorded Damien.. thought he was possessed
I use that "you know" that X does in regular conversation lol
Well I know what Im Bumping on my Morning Run,funny thing is I had bumped And Then There Was X the other day(Personal Fave X Album)
nikka
shyt was so real inbetween the cursing, barking and thuggery. X spit some of the most introspective bars of all time sprinkled into some gangsta shyt
