That's one of my favorite Nas songs, but Imagine ain't touching that haha. That said, it is a gift to be able to sum up your life like that in only a few verses.

When your too busy to sit down and breakdown the music
.....I ran through it once, didn't skip one song. Still gotta wait to give it my full opinion. I wish I could catch concepts as quick as some of y'all. I know what the album is about; however, I like to catch the true meaning of songs/albums by myself. I feel like that's the best way to make music a personal experience.

Jonylah Forever has me wanting to say something in the moment and full of hyperbole but Ima resist.
This is his seventh album
So for context,
Nas was on Streets Disciple
Jay was at BP2
Snoop was on The Blue Carpet Treatment
Ice Cube - I am The West
Rakim - The Seventh Seal
Scarface - M.A.D.E
BIG never made it to 7
Prodigy didn’t make it to 7
PAC technically never made it to 7
Pun never made it to 7
Kiss & SP don’t have a 7
No method to who I selected but this where they were by 7 albums.. I still consider them to better overall MCs than Lupe
Here is where it starts to get murky
A lot of those artists, peaked well before 7.. Lupe is getting better.. like at a rapid rate
Lupe has weaknesss as an MC.. he can be too cryptic and the texture of his voice can be seen as weak.. he also isn’t the best entertainer
But outside of that...
Lyrically he may be the best.. the best as in best overall lyricist to pick up the Mic

Not enough is being said about how perfect the sequencing is on this. Manilla through Haile Selassie would make for an incredible short film. And then the transition to Alan Forever is completely natural when you factor in the context of his death..

The whole album is incredible but at this moment the first half is by far my favorite part
