Hov was always slick....but you can tell all that battle rap he's been watching over the years translated into these bars right here

I pressed the head of your team with one finger curled
I'll line you all up with one finger wave
Make nikkas weave, nikkas is out here fake
Laced front to the back, don't front
Y'all gon make me wig, I'ma give y'all what you want



Thats on some loaded lux shyt

The entendres in this part are RETARDED:damn:

Its a shame that most of the songs only have 2 verses.

Also, Some of the songs that I didn't really vibe with at first I know love. Caught their Eye and 4:44.

Still don't really listen to moon light or legacy.

I fukk with the soulful production heavy, that Donny Hathaway sample :wow:
The lyrics are the cherry on top for me. From pointing out current racism
to getting personal about out what happened in the family that conflicted him and made him take longer to open up to the knowledge that was given due to "looking at the messenger instead of the message" how he tied it all together with the Red Queens race is beautiful

You see, my father, son of a preacher man
Whose daughter couldn't escape the reach of the preacher's hand
That charge of energy set all the Carters back..
It took all these years to get to zero in fact
I hated religion, 'cause here was this Christian
He was preachin' on Sundays, versus how he was livin' Monday
Someday I forgive him
'Cause strangely our division led to multiple religions
I studied Muslim, Buddhist, and Christians
And I was runnin' from him, He was givin' me wisdom
See how the universe works?
It takes my hurt and help me find more of myself
It's a gift and a curse
That's called the Red Queen's Race
- Legacy

Only for NO I.D. to finish it off with the sample
"Someday we'll all be FREEEEE"

Donny Hathaway does shyt to a nikka brehs :mjcry:
