Chopstick the best joint

Some dude vlogged a bit of the Art Basel listening. A last minute event so I didn’t expect to see a bunch of people there, but surprised Al wasn’t there? I’m tripping over the creative direction of the venue, I look forward to day when Roc moves away from this Josue Thomas dude.

I hold a .38 like Vivian Blake
Slinging weight, sit on a milk crate
Silk pillow case, three hundred long up in the suitcase
Yellow Rollie with the blue face
My shoe taste taste like blue grapes

My wolves'll snack on ya, while I relax in the sauna
Ya rap's worth a glass of tap water
So back up off a, Black enforcer, that's an order
Five hundred stacks, that's an offer
Bassmaster, catch an orca, that'll cost ya
While I crack crab on a glass saucer

It ain't what I'm driving, it's what's driving me
You can't buy it or caption it on IG
Can't put getting icy before hygiene
Why all this YSL and Y-3 if you gotta hide your teeth?

Yeah this is special, like it more than TEMB

THE “2” RHYME SCHEME ON RAUF

I’m elite
I’m the peak
What you think you got in common with me you not even unique

8.0

"leaner and meaner, weirder and bleaker."

Should have been a 9.0

Crab rappers no want fracas
My back is like B.A. Baracus

Roc and Knowledge are an underrated duo

Kaos
Reloaded
RR2
RR1

The Skeleton Key / EMB / Mt. Marci

Gonna give Skeleton Key another 3 months

Sir I don't see the cocaine classic Behold a Dark Horse

Two biscuits like it’s time for tea

I love Kaos. I don't see that one getting the credit it deserves. I can't rank Marci's projects, just depends on the mood really, but I'd say I've probably listened to Reloaded and RR2 more than any of his projects. Interesting thing about his talent is he's been rhyming like this since the beginning. He was fierce in the UN and Flipmode days and has kept that quality going for more than 20 years now, but he balances it in a way that he doesn't get stale ever. Man hasn't made a bad album. Most artists that have been around as long as this either fall off or progress to a point that renders their early works somewhat unmemorable. It's like this man jumped into the game with perfection and just continued on this steady road. Not a lot of room for improvement, but he still manages to sound fresh always. Rare for any artist.

Yeah Muggs put on a masterclass. Roc instantly clicked for me when I first heard Marcberg in 2011. Immediately.

Not to be a*** but ya weak fables ain’t deep, slay you
And let the .38 long steam bathe you
You lame you,
Peep how I came through
Show that ass a thang or two
And aimed at ya crew,
And then the thang-thang blew

More Craven x Marciano would be amazing

Pull 5’s out the toy box
Be as lonely at the top
The watchband is croc
The palace is a Camelot
Don’t ride the camel when it’s hot
They channeling Pac
My chairmen scrambling rock

Check... check 1, check 2
Copped the crib with check 1, the Patek with check 2
Integra with the Tec 22, on 22's
I had the deuce-deuce before I was 22
Monkey see, monkey do
They studying my moves like Mahmoud-Abdul Rauf
The Masi Maroon but I'm not Damu

disgusting flow

You speaking to an igloo
