talib lyrical assassination
lol ace tryna get all the first comments huh?
he keeps it real
Man Eardrum is good album. Im not really feeling the "hot Thing" vibe, but this nigga is ultra real regardless.
Yeah, Hot Thing was one of the lesser tracks. Eardrum is overall fire though.
talib is still sick, hot thing was my jam for a while haha
Hip Hop's Bob Dylan
every time i listen to Ear Drum i feel it more...he drops so much content in his verses you gotta run it back to catch it all
What's with the melodrama?
Fella's wanna hover in my cypher like a helicopter
Like it's a special honor
The stealth bomba, gem droppa
Make the ghetto holla, Inter-Conta-Nental
Takin you high like sky divers
When we spark with live wires
Original, cavemen quest for my fire
Express my desire to drop this new shit
These record executives keep tellin me y'all stupid
Now if they right, Shut The Fuck Up!
Revolutionaries throw your guns up
Whether you a bourgeois broad who actin stuck up
Or some ignorant thug motherfucker shootin the club up
We gonna make y'all feel this, break y'all spirit
If y'all fake that realness, word we bringin it
Ringin it in from the new millenuim to way after that
I call these cats Reynolds cuz they plastic wrap
