Joaquin Pheonix
Life Death And Love From San Francisco
Tape was certified crack
Life Death And Love From San Francisco is my 2nd favorite lupe song OAT that shyt is so good
I LOVE Lightwork. I remember when he leaked it ahead of the mixtape and I was so HYPE
Life Death and Love from SF was my shyt too.... Joaquin Phoenix had me so hyped then he added a verse.
Real talk this might be better than EOTS
I can do this all day, I ain't got it all, 'kay
They all say I'm one wall short of a whole hallway
One Halls short to keep from coughing all in y'all face
Man, I'm so appalled, I can keep the mall safe
I can really ball and put titties all in y'all face
That was Robert Paulson,and that deserves a pausin'
So that's Blart, Pierce, and all that's missing is a bearer
For the coffin that is needed for this beat when I'm done talkin'
Destination everywhere, reputation everywhere
Music drop, music stop, one man take up every chair
I know that that ain't very fair how one man take up everywhere
But it ain't for long though,it'll be some closure
Or maybe I'll be everywhere after I'm all over
Say goodbye then start the show, fall on off then start to blow
Acting like I'm rapping, it's that Joaquin Phoenix Facebook flow
Flow is in the microwave, call it Michael Tyson flow
Killing is a dirty job: Michael Myers, Michael Rowe
Bring it back like Michael Fox,see how far them Michaels go
I feel like I'm Michael Crichton writin' with a microphone
I ain't saying you should die but you should leave your life alone
Maybe borrow one of mine, fast life, life at home
Bruh who is doin this? Who has ever done this?
BBQ Bandit
Rolling up a chunky zig zag
I never really listen to alot of homie, but this going to stay in rotation for a while, he went in
A lycan is like a werewolf
Dude is basically saying he's a beast. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Theory of the tape's concept. Breaks down the song Pyramid.
"Starts with 3 Pharoahs and talks of metabolization. Think of breaking down or consumption of food. Ie much of the Mural metaphors of Vitamins and minerals and food. Then switches to banna pies which is food. Then Mosquitos consuming the blood. The same blood that metabolized the food or banna pie. Ie transfer of nutrients amongst souls of different levels. One is a blood sucker. The other is a human. On the seat of lion or seat of lying. Either is a worthy discussion. Soldier dying over old deviance. Soldier dying over gods of the past. Anyway ergo sum empire
this first paragraph is everything that exist in an empire. An lower insect class or mosquito that are seen as blood suckers to be exterminated with no positive value. They absorb nutrients from the "higher ups" ie humans who metabolize the DESSERTS of bannan pie. The fact that it is dessert is key. Especially desserts in deserts because if you imagine food deserts than you get it. Anyway won't go on that. The soldiers defend the empire through worship of the nation, leader etc. RULED BY "LANGUAGE" IN THIS CASE THE WORD PHAROH. More pills means more spills by the whorehouse. Overly medicated pills for erections or viagra to lead to more jizz at the whore house to meet the expections upon themselves through their divorce and broken relationships of monogamy to be "man" enough.
Cleopatra speaking with a mouthful of that jerk chicken. Our view of beauty. Again she is consuming chicken which consumes something else. Chains of consumption amongst a pyramid. I AM JAMAICAN SO JERK CHICKEN REFERENCE A1. Anyway eating a mouthful is generally seen as unattractive yet she still rules over the others possibly a degree of gluttony or over consumption of the dead.Mixed with rum. She ain't dumb because she rules over others from the top. They are her slaves in part due to her beauty. Utilizes the rum to free herself from the constraints of stress or morality (?). How many millionaires can the slums hold? Different levels between dystopia and utopia. POTENTIALLY ALL OF THEM. Hints of gentrificatin, settlements and movement of the poor(mosquito, slave) class elsewhere since they are the undesirables.Spaghetti for the meatballs. Again consumption of the dead. vs Consumption of carbohydrates needed for energy.
Many food allusions for a reason. The song is constructing the Food Pyramid let that sink in. We have dessert at start banna pie, chicken, meatballs, spaghetti just thus far. Love labors because love is work. Bay of pigs continues to ham. Underpaid slaves of jamaican kids. Dumplings more food. filtering lean through a gold grill. Is an reinterpration of the rich. Submarine from Space is the change of the class system. Submarine seeing space. Is BOTTOM OF OCEAN to Top of our existence. Ends with 2 Pharoahs"
This shyt makes sense

This shyt makes sense
We're long armed, put my hands on a lear
Everytime I put my hands in the air
Watch the throne as I dance in the chair
Throw my crown in the crowd, hope it lands on the heir
The weak nikkas like to pass interfere
It's safe to say the masses weren't ready for Friend Of The People.
A little experimenting with production and they wanna call it wack or Lasers 2.0, which it sounds nothing like
Just replayed Freind of The People again off the strength of your post. Mixtape is a solid 4/5
But Revenge of the Nerds and The Truth Is Among Us are 5/5.
And Enemy of The State is a 4.5/5
"Joaquin phoenix facebook flow" that whole tape still gets mad burn. Played it literally all summer 2012
