Quoting a post I made elsewhere yesterday on my favorite verse of Ka's.
"The entirety of Tamahagene; it's a personal top ten verse of all time.
"Gotta walk this plight
Drop gems, got friends every walk of life
Instigator, said fukk all that talking, fight
In my park all bark, we was forced to bite
Fought the best, any less though light shyt
Cold since they left that hole with the ice pick
Hearts don't flutter in the gutter, hate necessary
Propped in a rock in a hard place pressed very
If no jewels can't use, ain't worth the time
All the sounds I 'cord down, urge to climb
Motion picture scripture, every song scored
They want grief, unsheath the long sword
It's hindsight of the fights I've endured
In my twilight, getting right with the lord
Getting right with the lord
In my twilight, getting right with the lord
Got the gift and the thoughts that count
It's the thoughts that count
Got the gift and the thoughts that count
Got the thoughts that count”
I had sooooo many chills on my first playthrough.
The beat switch up and the change of pace in his rapping after the constant repetition on Finer Things. It's like it lulls you to sleep before the beat switch, he wants you off guard or wishing for the end.
I'm also one of those people who seal claps when songs/movies or tv shows reference their titles, so I really like the line about grief.
Not that it's a title track or anything, but it's self referential within the context of his discography and is put at the climax of the project, which Tamahagene is; it's kind of a rapid pace summation of the entire body of work and the album to that point.
An essays conclusion and the final lines are contemplative, they make me reflect on my life and decisions and it sounds like he's truly questioning whether he can really "get right" in life at this point.
But he's trying."
Truly such a loss.

out of all the dead rappers, KA is easily my favorite rapper (check my sig). this one hurts the most.
He was a poet. a legend. One of a kind. A real one.
"I plan my death before I plan submission
Can't exchange man condition but one fan sufficient"
RIP he will be greatly missed

Damn fam. Hope everything is cool over there for you and yours.
This is honestly terrible news for rap 
In the main that drumless production got old to me quick personally but I was always happy to make an exception for Ka. Unbelievable pen.

He really created a strong atmosphere with it that a lot don't, his projects are all very compelling to listen to.This is honestly terrible news for rap

Apple Music just added a KA Essentials Playlist, wish streaming platforms showed him love before the untimely.
