[Broad Street Bully]

listening to this now, mural is >>>>>> he ripping this shyt

 

[GoldenGlove]

How do songs like Chopper, Body of Work, Prisoner, Dots & Lines, etc fit into this theme.

I really like the sequencing of this album and the emotional journey it takes me on as is so I don't see myself playing it backwards more than once just to see what it's like.

I don't think anybody's "figured it" all out yet, but playing it backwards fits perfectly for the songs that come after Winter (before Winter if you're playing it backwards)

The last verse in Deliver hits on MYH/The Cool being resurrected...Chopper starts off with that, "And now ladies and gentlemen... Lupe Fiasco". That fit well to me.

Anatomy (skin), will be the death of me
Anatomy (skin), that's just my anatomy
Anatomy (skin), will be the death of me


Anatomy (sKin), will be the death of me
Anatomy (sKin), that’s just my anatomy
Anatomy (sKin), will be the death of me
The K.K.K relates to the death of anatomy by skin tone, we are aware that racism is still alive and breathing and the K.K.K used to be a standard bearer for this malice, and hatred of another human’s anatomy. Troi/Lupe is stating what makes us(our anatomy) will ultimately result in our death, and there is nothing we can do to change that.

Nah.....nah.....this website is just fukking with me right


RIGHT

Coincidentally, watching Bad Boys 2 today made Body of Work make sense with the new annotation I saw

This song is about drug trafficking and transporting a female body that has “work” (another name for drugs) inside of it, similar to the movie “Lucy” where she is captured and a bag of drugs is forcibly sewn into her abdomen to transport the drug for sales in Europe.

but the KKK shyt in the hook...

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

Chopper hook goes so hard

Yeah, that and teh Deliver one. Really thorough hood shyt hook.

Wait...again, I'm playing the album backwards right now

No Scratches setting up a relationship that isn't working out so the couple parts ways before getting hurt using a car wreck as a metaphor....but as it turns out, he actually killed the woman, which sets up his recollection of his crazed obsession in Little Death, which leads into the dead woman's body filled with drugs in Body of Work, which leads into incarceration with Prisoner 1 & 2

[The Bookie]

You better watch these nikkas (en garde)
If it was up to me, I would never unlock these nikkas
Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these nikkas and throw away the key, I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me

 

[shopthatwrecks]

My rap position was black condition and activism
Ammunition for abolition, missions attacking systems
But they're not apt to listen, unless it's dropping on Activision
Are we apps or are we bodies filled with apparitions
Operating applications, stuck inside a Apple prison
Chicken hack and download updates that lack religion
Or are we more... than soil tainting, disloyal changelings
Preoccupied with boy and Goyle chasing
And foiling other's royal saintings?
I sit back and watch the world through the eye holes in my oil paintings
