Roc Marciano - The Pimpire Strikes Back

[Mr. Somebody]

Word. And I know I'm in the minority at this point, but I don't want AB anywhere near a Roc track. He throws the whole vibe off. Roc brings everything that's awesome about a 70s Blaxploitation flick to a track; AB brings everything that's generic and goofy about a 2000-something remake of a Blaxploitation flick to a track.

I'm having some kind of religious reawakening while listening to Ice Cream Man on repeat right now.

He was on 2 songs here. What is going on. Do they have the same management or the same beatmaker? Roc has to know this goofy friend is hurting the vibe of his tracks.

4.5/5 off first listen.

EDIT: This "Take Me Over" beat by alchemist is nasty. DAMN!

I promise you I listened to that song 14 times straight on the way home.

Made me feel like

We not gonna make it, my nikka.

We MADE it. We ALREADY made it!

We CAN'T do this.

We ALREADY DID IT!

Lets go claim this shyt! Let's go escape this life we in! Let's get out this poverty trap! We MADE it, breh!!!!

We made it.....

Roc is one of my all-time favorites but sometimes I wish he'd bring that old style back on a few tracks here or there.

he seems set in the super slow flow, it works but yea id like to see him break out here and there. he can actually do a number of tempos

yeah his flow on joints like Russin Hat Wear/What They Want on the Un album is crazy...sometimes wish he'd turn it up a little for a joint or two

Roc Marciano delivers a speech about power economics in the community.

Here is a good video outlining the barriers in thinking about business in a broad sense and sadly, why friends of African descent are so far behind economically compared to everyone else. .

i always knew Roc had a bright future but
