the lil ugly mane thread reminded me of this song he wrote from the terrifying perspective of a kid getting kidnapped

edit: @krishna_bound explained "that LUM song is actually autobiographical, although it's vague, it's from his perspective, not a random kid being kidnapped. It's part of why he didn't originally want to release the project and hasn't released a pt 2, he said it was too emotional for him"

similar to the bedwetter song, kurt cobain wrote this song based off the real life kidnapping, torture, & rape of a 14 year old girl in washington, though this song is written from the perspective of the kidnapper

both these songs are very dark but feel free to post anything with interesting or uncommon perspectives

classic tape, one of the top 2010s projects imo

Yo this song is great thanks for sharing it

do yourself a favour & listen to the whole tape

RIP

Agreed

No boomer s*** but that era of underground East Coast rap was special (Retch, Dash, Bronson, FBZ, Joey etc at their peaks)

Best I've heard this year

"A concept album (or rock opera if you prefer), "California '99" told a story (written by Tom Gamache) that was supposed to begin in 1975 following the fourth wage and price freeze in as many years. After disenfranchising the judicial branch of the government, financial and political woes force the president to abdicate. In 1980 the "United States declares bankruptcy; all laws are voided and the entire U.S. is renamed California with higher hopes. All states become countries and all cities become districts." By 1985, insects become the main food staple of the population and the middle of the country is designated the "Marijuana and Insect Corridor" since all the insects thrive on Cannabis plants for some reason."

another great nas track, written from the perspective of a gun

A breakup song?

i've never heard of this guy, these are f***ing sick

reminds me of early atmosphere stuff like these

The concept is kinda overused nowadays but Common was one of the first to really pull it off perfectly

Being honest is foreign to these mfs

this is nice, i love how the heavily textured vocals stand out against the fairly clean synthy production
