that shyt breaks the song, but LL blacked out right afterwards so it balances

Beat shakin' like flour in paper bags
See 'em salutin' and recruitin' and wavin' flags
Spice in the hot sauce, crispy on the chicken
The screen door slammin' and the young boy crippin'
Mama when she dancin', your uncle when he trippin'
The spirit of Stevie Wonder when "Superstition" was written
I'm the, first bop when you walk into the party
I'm the, Chris Rock when you snappin' on somebody
I'm the, ingenuity, the mental acuity
Duke Ellington dexterity, I'm truly a rarity
I'm the sound of Miles Davis, it's impossible to bury me
The slow pimp walk, it's impossible to hurry me
The, red cup, brown liquor, spades all night
Shower cap, house slippers, braids just right
Feelin' when that itch in your weave is relieved
I'm your tastebuds bitin' on the sunflower seeds
Only crossover I support is Kyrie
W.E.B. mentality
I'm the Biz goin' off, Diana, I'm the boss
Or you could say Ross, I'm Pirelli's with the gloss
I'm the underground Harriet, the swing low chariot
Backyard smoker, fried okra and asparagus
The look in the eyes of someone who can relate
I'm the knowin' that it's love and couldn't possibly be hate
I'm the prayer of a mama want her son to walk straight
I'm the prisoner released when he walkin' out the gate
I'm Black, I'm Black, I'm Black, I'm Black

I would not say it was a jump in quality.
As all ll albums since 2004 have been fye low key.
Just sonically this album did what we never thought we would get from ll.
as fsr as direction.

like i always say, LL always holds up his end. but that shyt cant carry ALL the beats. something gotta knock

love this


I love this!

And I'm glad he addressed this. At some point, people started acting like they were ashamed to say they were rappers. It was the weirdest sh*t in the world to me. You still see people trying to not wear the title. But saying you're an MC has always been the dopest thing to me.

I really hated that “I’m not a rapper, I’m a hustler” nonsense that I think Jay-Z started, then Jeezy, Wayne, and Yo Gotti ran with for so long.

I think the first person I heard saying that was Cam, with the "I'ma hustler, not a rapper b*tch, it's just rap is my hustle", back in like '99.

The thing with rappers is that it's way too many of them now. Back in the day, if you said you rapped, you were different. Now, you can throw a rock out of the window and hit 30 rappers. It's corny. And none of them are dope, lol. So being a rapper had this stigma attached, so everyone started feeling like they had to say they were doing other things, as if being an MC was shameful.
