    RIP Pop, went way way way too young

    Man I wish people gave hip hop more grace when it comes to all the death it has seen recently and the pandemic (mass death and injury + disrupting the foundational social aspect of hip hop)

    I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessin'
    The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
    My physical frame is celebrated 'cause I made it
    One quarter through life, some godly-like thing created
    Got rhymes 365 days annual, plus some
    Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from
    My skull, 'cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain
    Don't go against the grain, simple and plain
    When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
    Robbin' foreigners, take they wallets, they jewels and rip they green cards
    Dipped to the projects, flashin' my quick cash
    And got my first piece of ass, smokin' blunts with hash
    Now it's all about cash in abundance
    Niggas I used to run with is rich or doin' years in the hundreds
    I switched my motto; instead of sayin', "Fuck tomorrow!"
    That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
    Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
    I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
    Time is illmatic, keep static like wool fabric
    Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage

    this type of pensmanship can only exist in hip hop

    My favorite Nas song, soooooo powerful

  • Man hip hop has been there for me since I was a shorty idk what I’d do without hip hop man. I’m grateful I’m around to witness greatness. No matter where hip hop goes in the near future, it’s always got a special place in my heart fasho.

  • 50 cent played a big role in me falling in love with hip hop. My pops and uncle played a lot of s*** around me but when my uncle would play 50 it was like something magical. He was hard asf and just had that hard image to match the music and kid me loved that s***. I was a huge ass stan when I was a shorty. You couldn’t tell me s*** about 50 and g unit lol.

    Ngl for a while I was on some “real” hip hop s*** (not that rap god type s*** lol) from the time g unit was really falling off popularity wise until the time I discovered chief keef. Him being from Chicago and us being in the same age group I wanted him to win. His music was raw and you could hear that hunger in him. He wasn’t lyrical but his sound made up for it. Even after Finally Rich he continued to impress me and he’s one of the goats to me. I love how he put on a generation of other Chicago rappers and now there’s a new generation able to eat because of the foot work him and his peers did over a decade ago.

    the greatest music genre ever. a ton of great moments throughout its history, a massive amount of great and timeless music over the last 50 years. i'm glad I got to experience this s*** in my lifetime. I'm grateful for the music and the art, and RIP to those who are no longer with us.
