This is a bad post but I agree that I'm not excited in the least bit for a cole/kendrick collaboration.

I just envision it being kendrick out rapping him severely and cole trying hard to play catch up but failing.

Only way to make it cool would be for it to be some dope conceptual type shyt. If it's just bars on bars it won't be that special.

Would rather hear them both individually.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I think Cole would step his game up since he would have to if they collaborated IMO.

I still want that Cole/Kendrick album

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Alright is filthy

constant repeat

Skateboard P did his MF thing on the boards

 

[Onigumo]

Top 5

1. How much a dollar cost
2. Blacker the berry
3. Mortal Man
4. Momma
5. Wesley's Theory

Leaving you ain't gotta lie and U off that list hurt brehs

Thought about putting complexion but it would mainly be for the second half with Rapsody, so I went for songs that I like more as a whole.

My exact same list honorable mention Hood politics

 

[Sad Bunny]

I can't again not talk about that last verse on Momma brehs :mjcryoak:

I been lookin for you my whole life, an appetite
For the feeling I can barely describe, where you reside?
Is it in a woman, is it in money, or mankind?
Tell me something got me losing my mind, AH!
You make me wanna jump
(Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
(Let's talk about love))
(Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
(Let's talk about love))
I been lookin for you my whole life, an appetite
For the feeling I can barely describe, where you reside?
Is it in a woman, is it in money, or mankind?
Tell me something think I'm losing my mind, AH!
I say where you at, from the front to the back
I'm lookin' for you I react, only when you react
Ah, I thought I found you, back in the ghetto
When I was seventeen with the .38 special
Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real
Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel
Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I don't need you anyway
Don't lie to me I'm suicidal anyway
I can be your advocate
I can preach for you if you tell me what the matter is


Breh this shyt got me so
Like I know that feeling.
I'm looking for that thing too my whole life.
WHERE THA fukk IS IT

What's he talking about though

 

[Sad Bunny]

How did you interpret the 3rd voice?

 

[jwinfield]

 

[Beerus]

What's he talking about though

Something he wants that will fill his void iono what he wants.
But shyt its something I'm feeling I want to, like shyt makes you restless, like he said is it in women, money, like the thing that will fullfil me.
idk I just want it and its making me I want that feeling yo, of just being like ahh i can finally relax.
I mean that's how I relate to it. For him shyt iono but Its a feeling of fulfillment that he's chasing that he can't seem to find a finger on I guess.

 

[Pool_Shark]

Man, can we just talk about the little moments we like with this record?

On Institutionalized, I anticipate those 4 flute notes during Grandma's talk:

around 3:38

Little things like that really do just stand out to me brehs.

The intro and hook to How Much A Dollar Cost and the Ronald Isley Hook at the end

The jazzy musical outro to Blacker The Berry


The Jazz music playing during Pac and Kendrick's conversation

On hood politics when Kendrick says "Obama say what it do" and the beat switches. When the beat pauses at like 2:30 on the third verse of you ain't gotta lie. The synthesizer that comes in after that verse. How the king kunta beat continues to build and get more complex leading up to that guitar at the end. The little beat playing at the beginning of i.

How did you interpret the 3rd voice?

I thought he's talking about God.

Is it in a woman, is it in money, or mankind?
Tell me something think I'm losing my mind, AH!
I say where you at, from the front to the back
I'm lookin' for you I react, only when you react
Ah, I thought I found you, back in the ghetto
When I was seventeen with the .38 special- Seventeen year old with a gun would feel godly.
Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real
Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel
Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I don't need you anyway
Don't lie to me I'm suicidal anyway
I can be your advocate
I can preach for you if you tell me what the matter is

I know that feeling
I got a good job, girl, a little money, out the hood, and there is always something that is just a void

You are not in tune spiritually with our universe. No matter what gods, religions or diety you choose to believe in, I feel it's especially important to be in tune spiritually with nature and everything around us.

how does one go about doing that what's up

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

how does one go about doing that what's up

I don't know. I just try to appreciate small things around me, like the beauty of a flower, helping out strangers when I can because I'm able to do so. I don't litter or even throw my gum out, I put it in the trash because small animals can mistake it for something and choke on it. I believe the energy you give to the earth comes back to you. If I see a penny on the ground, I pick it up because I feel that it's bad luck to leave behind any money found. There is no method. I just try to be a good person and leave a positive footprint wherever I go. I can sit and watch ants swarming a dead bug and see the beauty of their place in nature. I just take time to stop and appreciate the world around me and know I could be in a much worse place whether it's here in America or some 3rd world country.
