Still awaiting that Spotify drop

Still awaiting that Spotify drop

That's usually a 2-4 week wait.

Saw

Yeah...
Swingin' swords got finger sores
The source is leakin' from my pores
Left the port with these Puerto Rican broads
My deepest thoughts is the secrets of peace and war
I'm on top of the heat
Y'all beneath
Can not compete in the sport
Cop a seat, form a line to speak with boss I'm a dominant elite
The Queens is like how much semen cost
Ride the cleanest Porsche
Prolly in sneakers y'all never seen before
Obviously I'm eatin' quite decently I don't need y'all support
For y'all to get on the feast I'm the key to the door
While my Hennessy was being poured all my demons were torched
My genes was reinforced by me ??? on a cerebral horse
Indeed the Lord he dipped me in seasoning salt
Don't push me I will put hands and feet on a whore
My mini mansion is so clean you can eat off the floor
Peep the decor, cords??? imported from Singapore
The last of my enemies all she saw was meat on the sword
.....Safe to say we chopped it up a bit...
Choppa dump intense tear the bumper of the trunk of ya Benz
Crash and hit the store front the business was crushed to bits
The hood of the trunk was sunken in....
Like the cheeks on a fiend from suckin a stem
Thin look like Skeleton covered in skin
The kid spotted you
In the scrubs I was bustin' a Pis' Juggler slit
Whoever think they fukkin' with this can jump off a cliff

[Zero]

Sacrifices I've made on this path that I laid
shyt was bad till I came
I aint complain I just mastered my game
The anguish; the laying of Rakim and Kane
The landscape changed when I went against the grain
nikkas wasn't quick to embrace, nope
I could've did the same but I didn't hate
I just did my thing and prayed
Eventually, shyt went my way
I aint dikkride for no features cuz I can lift my own weight
I'm really self-made, and I NEVER fell from grace - God Loves You

I believe this is dropping on Spotify friday cause that was the orignal release date and he brought it up this week to drop it on the website

Good move, giving the loyal fans the purchase preview

We may have to do a separate thread altogether about Roc changing the underground culture in the 10’s. Because it’s definitely a discussion worth having.

I said the same thing earlier in the thread.

To me - he's the connective tissue between the 90's,00's and 10's having really broken into the public consciousness on a song with Busta - who was putting up crazy numbers at the time. Raekwon, who is a legend forever off OB4CL and Wu-Tang, Large Professor - who is one of the architects of New York's sound and peak Ghost, just three months after Supreme Clientele dropped.

For a rapper out of New York - there isn't really a better co-sign you can get.

Then he started running with Pete Rock.

After that - to me he had carte blanche to do what he wanted artistically.

It reminds me a bit of Doom and Nas linking up with Serch in the late 80's/ eary 90's. Doom popping off post KMD kind of stalled initially after all the things he went through personally, but Nas is still getting every bit of value possible off that initial mainstream co-sign. It didn't hurt that cats like Large Professor believed in him enough to have him around Rakim and G Rap sessions when he was a kid either.

Edit: Thinking about it - Jay falls into this category as well, having come up as Kane and Jaz O's young homie.

We need to start having a serious discussion about where Roc Marci fits in on an all-time GOAT list.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Roc really said I could probably have your wife but why bottom feed

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Ephesians is just.....

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Damn friends. It’s getting difficult to even discuss or reference certain lines of his like you do with other rappers, because every fukking line is something. It’s starting to feel like the only way to talk about this dude is just to copy and paste entire verses

With most rappers you can be like “that second verse on such and such was really dope” but here on this album every line after line after line is so layered

I started running the album again today and I just ended up replaying Molly Ringwald twice because I felt like I wasn’t catching everything

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Did he really ask for a table for two air asked who made reservations to date a saber tooth?

Don't forget both him and Ka were on Gza's Pro-Tools. Ka credits Gza with getting him back into the game, he was ready to give it up

I been playin this shyt since last night . I like what i heard but i dont know where to put this. Just want to say im proud of the man. Playa came so far ,from marceberg to this is just something else . I cant even compare this to reloaded cuz it just wouldnt be fair. This reminds me of marcberg so much (the vibe) .this one is gonna take some time but one track that stuck out for me was god loves you.

Ima need some more time with this one because right now i just cant call it to where it ranks against his other shyt. For now ill just say i havent felt like this about any of his projects since reloaded.

That's the point right there. DOOM is the godfather. Roc carried the torch after him but you can hear DOOM in most of the underground whether it's the beats, flow, or the rhymes.

I do hear the doom influence in his bars. His verses definitely reminds me of doom. But Roc took the underground version of street rap to modern times. He seems to be the common thread in a lot of hip hop movements since 2010. If DOOM is the godfather of underground rap then Roc is godfather of goon rap
