thats peace.. Born U Truth.. Allah Team is not NGE. i'm not tryin to create division, but striving to be right and exact. The Gods i came up around dont consider them 5%. I aint even tryin to argue. at the end of the day NOI/NGE/Allah Team are all branches from the same tree. but callin dude 5% is disingenuous.

for the record, album is cool

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

Unofficial but this video is tough. Love the album.

 

[Earnings]

Some of the best lyricism and content from two of the best emcees on the planet and cats still find a way to hate

And it was well produced.

Yea mane... I ain't even read the thread before I listened to the album... And I advise brehs to do that with most shyt...

Jay Elec prolly never imagined in a million years he would do a project with Jay...

Jay prolly never imagined in a million years he would put out a album in the mainstream that's so non mainstream.

And here it is.

Just enjoy brehs. That's where I'm at with it anyway

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

Light

 

[Two Stacks]

I think this shyt might be a classic. I like the whole shyt

 

[TEH]

I think this shyt might be a classic. I like the whole shyt

And there you have it

that’s what the conscious rap heads have been saying

all others need not respond

 

[Victorious Secret]

I have to be honest, I did not expect to hear so much Jay-Z on this.

I'm glad he was on it though, because he was the only one bringing life to it. Ten years and we got this lazy shyt from Jay Elec? Come on. shyt bars.

Only two songs on this I'll be going back to.

Lazy shyt? Shyt bars?

Uh, I snap on the track like the fingers of Thanos
Como también nosotros perdonamos
A los que nos ofenden
It's all love, all Wimbledon with the pen, then
All I have in this world is my flag and my sword
I'm on a battlefield with the flag of my Lord
My shahāda is my cantada
My heart chakra light up when I make sajdah at fajr
Padre nuestro, que estás en El Cielo
Our heavenly father
Like Vince Staples said, we just wadin' in the water
My people out in Flint still bathin' in the slaughter
ICE out here rippin' families apart at the border
Satan struck Palestine with yet another mortar
Lies from the reporters
Ass shots and stripper poles for the eyes of my daughter, hm
Swing low sweet chariot, my train is on schedule
But I had to take the Underground Railroad like Harriet
Weave the whole industry, every jab I've parried it
My cross I carried it
My crown of thorns to cavalry from Nazareth
The orbit was too wide to calculate the azimuth
The journey was technically unexplainable, hazardous
Rise, young gods, all paths lead to Lazarus
The dry bones that lifted up from the valley dust
The prayers of the slaves are the wings that carry us
A field full of dreams is where they tried to bury us (Bury us)

Again, lazy shyt? shyt bars?

Eyes fiery, cry tears to my diary
Sometimes a Xanny bar can't help you fight back the anxiety
I go to my Lord quietly, teardrops on our faces
Teardrops on my face, it's like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers
As I contemplate creation, the salt that heals my wounds pour out my eyes just like libations
I can't stop my mind from racing, I got numbers on my phone
Pictures on my phone
The day my mama died, I scrolled her texts all day long
The physical returns but the connection still stay strong
Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Claybourne
You just missed your— You just missed your mama
Now I just miss my mamas
The clothes we wear to bed at night to sleep is just pajamas
The flesh we roam this earth in is a blessing, not a promise
I bow with those who bow to the creator and pay homage

Expectations were higher, tbh. His lyricism was not what it was ten years ago.

We waited 10 years and essentially got 7 tracks that he was on LESS than Jay-Z was, and Jay-Z murked him on every track he rapped on.

 

[Thief's Theme]

5 mics

I don't understand what people are saying with this. His lyricism is as good as it was when I first heard him to me.

What are his older songs or verses that are so much higher caliber lyrically than what is on this album?
