Coli nikkaz still pretending MCHG wasn't great (4/5) and easily the AlbumOTY in 2013?

Amazing production, great flows and lyricism, & a fun, well arranged album that has quickly become one of my favs from Hov.

SIA is great lyrically & musically, as smooth & classy Hov Sinatra mood & glides over the beat while expounding on racism, classim, etc. & how they affect not only him but all nikkaz tryna come up in this white soceity & build on the legacy of their royal ancestors ("Shoutout to old Jews with old rules, new blacks wit new stacks/I already been the king, retro act I'm just bring it back like Jordan packs/Pax")

Keeping with the duality theme of MCHG, he switches from basking in his success both past & present to being frustrated with the glass ceiling & his attempts to break through despite white America's disapproval. Filled with standout lines that show off his still elite lyricism & contribute to a well crafted gem of a song, it's a great addition to the album.

The miley reference ruins it
He's saying that cacs are trying to destroy black rappers/excellence or whatever cause their influence is in the white community now. I thought the reference was dope and contemporary.
