I keep feeling like Jay and Dilla would've made this album if he was still around R.I.P.

I was never a Dilla (RIP) stan like 75% of the internet (claim to be after dude passed:stopitslime:), but THAT is...imho, a perfect lil' description of this LP.........it just fits with that overall Dilla vibe.

Once again, :whoa:, not 1 to hop on Dilla like that.........BUT IF bruh was still alive & I DIDNT KNOW who put this together I'd be the 1st putting down some $$$ that it was him on the boards.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Mural has numerous themes going on at once, but to summarize...

Lupe painted his own 'Mural' with his words for you to visualize what he's about as an artist in that song .



bruh..I love Lupe and I didn't get that message. I didn't get shyt from Mural, tbh. And I thikn it's dope rapping...just don't know wtf it's about

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
4;44 had me revisit WATCH THE THRONE for the first time since 2011.



Gawt damn... i just realized how well produced that fukkin' album.



Jay and Ye snazzily spazzed on that shiit. Holy fukk.




Reason why i was so underwhelmed by it at the time was due to this coming off the heels of the monumental MODERN DAY classic that is MBDTF (with the inclusion of el GOOD Friday tracks - it's basically a double album. That's a whole lot of high quality material).




But in retrospect... the shiit was a very cohesive and well-compiled album. Shiit was the exemplary posting of contemporary braggadocio raps by two of raps elite (that actually live the opulence they spit).




If Ye and Jay manage to reconcile and decide to bless the world with a WTT sequel... i see a TRUE hiphop classic in the making.





but it's gonna have to be before the end of the year... no later than summer 2018.

Everywhere...You never there.
Just a lil context for yall Web dwellers who dont go outside. ..



I was listening to sports talk radio this morning to pass time taking this lil trip... The show is called Moose and Martha...usually I dont fukk with folks who sound a tad conservative but I kept listening. ..


The guy Moose says, " Big event in hip hop recently , Jay dropped 444. I listened and I said , 'this isnt revolutionary at all...I dont get the hype. Hes talking about regular stuff we've always known."


:mjlol:








:to:




Then homie said he's Jewish :mjpls: and theyve always been taught to build via credit (other people's money)...
Then he said he had to step back and realize certain cultures dont know everyday regular shyt.


:to:


Then he said, "Jay Z is their teacher! "


:mjlol:











:to:





I cant.... On so many levels...



The more I sit on this, the more i feel like this is one of the biggest low key sellout jobs in a while.
