Prior to today I listened to the album once on youtube… just copped the 4 month hi-fi deal on Tidal and threw this on at "master" quality... Tell me why the audio quality sounds exactly the same tho
The mixes are a messI like the album but y'all wasn't lying about the audio quality which is
in and of itself considering who's involved
Jigga is a huge sopranos stan, you can hear multiple lines throughout his career influenced by the dialogue from the show.

This man was spitting something crazy on Fruits of the Spirit...it's like soon as he start droppin gems it was over 
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
Archaeologists describe how Ezekiel's Wheel helped turn African Americans into Christians PhysOrg - November 9, 2016
At the site of a plantation where abolitionist Frederick Douglass once lived archaeologists have uncovered striking evidence of how African and Christian religious beliefs blended and merged in the 19th century. The team dug up an intact set of objects that they interpret as religious symbols - traditional ones from Africa, but mixed with what they believe to be a Biblical image: a representation of Ezekiel's Wheel.
Next song is what? Ezekiel's wheel

you know the Kingdom come, sir
That wheel inside The Wheel,
a half a mile in circumference
It's the return of the Mahdi,
it's the return of the Akhis
It's the return of the lost and found
tribe of Shabazz, the Annunakis

@s0f0cused nikkas don’t be listening fam
As a breh that recently struggled,
Been distracted and in a haze of overthinking with my creative output...ontop of the Alchemist being a simple but very ill book
That line is heavy as fukk. Read through the whole thread hoping to find more talk and discussion on the themes and references on the album only to come up mostly empty... So I tagged brehs who seemed to be on the same tip.
Album is divisive tho lol... You lay the reference out to a unfamiliar Breh and he like ...."ok" *insert Waka popular Waka meme*
Lay it out to a page turning Breh that done seen the same or similar concepts and information throughout they journey and it's a whole nother story
To be honest...I never got into Elec because I don't follow artists that I can't rely on to drop projects...
That said, I simply love this shyt. And now that I have something from him that I like, I've gone back and heard some of his older stuff and it's great too.
If any of y'all got a mixtape of all his best stuff that y'all could share it'd be appreciated.
Ideally I'd have every song this man ever did
