but yeah i think roddy was more self snitching out of paranoia and guilt thats not why rappers talk about real life crimes

I think many rappers talk about their crimes and “self-snitch” because it has social clout attached to it, and its a bragging right that they got away with it.

it makes the music more exciting to the listener because the listener is inhabiting the artist’s persona while listening to the song

so its like the feeling of being told a secret, or the vicarious rush of opposing authority

its the latter mostly, rap is largely seen as rebellion against bourgeois mores

I want to start this post with
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

If i remember correctly he says in an interview this was the basis of the entire song, ☝️
not the obama thing not nothing of the sort Lost in translation with a whole f***in' nation

HEAR ME OUT HERE HE HAS THE SAME TAKE AS KARL MARX, ONCE THE AMERICAN PURSUIT OF HAPINESS IS DENIED THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REBEL, KANYE DOES NOT SEE THAT HAPPENING. THAT AMERICA HAS BEEN LOST IN TRANSLATION

The obamanation to obama's nation.
DO I NEED TO SAY MORE, KANYE BASICALLY FOUND OBAMA's LAST NAME HERE.
Well that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation
this is not only a reference to how obama just completely shunned him infront of an entire country and world of eyes, BUT A REFRENCE TO THE VMA's AND A BRAGADOSCIOUS APOLOGY | and some mfs still have the audacity is not the greatest artist of all time

At the end of the day, goddammit, I'm killin' this s***

this was a reference to Yukiko Okada If im remembering the story correctly, the end of the day is when Yukiko killed herself and of course the reference to killing at the end of the bar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk1UdaGyoz4&ab_channel=MrSaturn3000 The Piano riff is off a Yukiko Okada song, kanye was going to release this song and then kill himself. alhamdulillah he didnt 🙏 .

How 'Ye doing? I'm surviving A reference to his almost suicide attempts, and him not being sure he would make it through

I was drinking earlier, now I'm driving

Suicide is just the motif in this verse

I promised i wouldn't post about Schizoid man but i double crossed myself

buddhism is a rejection of the brahman caste system which was based on race, which hinduism co-opted to justify its own

nah, the caste system is primarily based on karma (Chandogya Upanishad)

good bait though

you were born into being a brahman by your father, and then they said your karma justified your birth
