Lol... He hit a "Rah"... 🙌, good reaction steve! I love d no church in d wild reference... I always feel same each time I start this song!! Keep up steve
MI is the best because he embodies meaning. It’s not all about blowing you out of the water but it’s about the timelessness the meaning and the art for life in it while blowing you out of the watcher at thesame time. It’s just like when Fela says (water no get enemy)
6 years ago, when I first heard this song, I was like you know what, MI isn't even trying to prove he is the best rapper in Africa and one of the best in the world.... he was speaking from an emotional and private place. There was a lot of shit behind this song, and with the wave of things he was probably going through at the time as a person and as an artist, he was able to surf
Great reaction Steve! We love conscious MI a lot. Some parts of the lyrics were not correct tho, shout out to whoever put it together, did a decent job there. Along with "I have seen Kings not aware of their successors", another line I love so much is (the lyrics were written wrong tho) "man must pay to gravity the price for his ascension". #GSGANG!!! We're locked!!!!
The line "I have seen the best turn to weed and loose direction" ..was referring to his bro Jesse (my take). He constantly hails Jesse as the best, but his career didn't take off as it should have.. maybe cos of that good kush!!
How this track wasn't nominated for any award at the Headies still remains a mystery to me till date. This track was good for "Best rap single", "Lyricist on the Roll" and even "Best video" but it wasn't nominated for any. That was when I lost hope in the Headies😒😔
Steve, it's MI. You should know his sound quality is always on point, so that had to have been tampered with. Btw, we're still waiting to see what you and Jesse's manager have planned. #GSGang 🔥🔥🔥
When I see how excited you are about this track, I can only imagine how you will be when you get to illegal music 3. I will be patiently waiting tho. You will notice the improvement in his skills as he spends more time in the industry.
Yo Steve, the track was so dope, your unbiased rating still couldn't take the score anything less than 95/100. M.I is "THE" lyrical genius. awesome reaction bro. Let's gooooooo
Won't take it away form who ever made the lyric vid.. but some of the lyrics are wrong .... Example "man put pay the gravity, the price of his ascension" and not " mallams the bality the price for his ascension".. and a few more... But over all, great lyric vid and dope ass reaction Steve !!
Steve to give you some context, some parts of the song(the first verse precisely) is a reply to a rapper called Milli. Milli used to be under Chocolate City, same label MI was in(he has his own now) when he rose to become President(or VP, can't remember). Milli came on twitter to blast M that he was subduing him and his sound, and wanted Milli to be more 'street'(aka commercial). He would add that MI made him lose a collab with one of biggest act in Nigeria/Africa: Wizkid, and prioritized other artists over him while he was in the label. He claimed M didn't even allow him make a freestyle series to stay relevant. Milli claimed to have been hit hard mentally by that experience(and even this song after listening to it) and made him lose relevance(he didn't drop any project in the years he was in CC), considering M was his idol. He's retired from music now. Or so his bio says. Milli dropped a song called 'Unlooking(Original version)' where he said: "teach me how to make some fucking wealth//don't teach me how to be somebody else". (referencing when M tried making him change his sound). MI not being a good label boss is something that's widely known. He's known to have poorly managed/handled a few acts including, but not limited to, Brymo, Koker(arguably), Dice Ailes(arguably), Pryse(female rapper) and even Jesse Jagz. The only outlier has been Blaqbonez. This is something Vector referenced in his diss song Judas The Rat("How is it that you're the only one surviving as an artist?....the only light in the story is Blaq!"). MI has come out to defend himself a few times and even taken shots at Milli(for example, this song you've reviewed and on Trinity ft. AQ, he said: "I'm hands off o' you nigga, carry your own baggage//If I ain't want you to shine you would be gone, banished Finished, famished, you showed me how sinister man is//You're on your own now but no motion, can't figure mechanics? What you gon' tell 'em this time? Who you gon' blame for the damage?") He's also done interviews to clear the air and exonerate himself from different situations. M said Milli allowed friends talk hate into his heart which made him(Milli) feel he was not been given enough attention(this is also referenced in the last bars of this song, Everything). He talked about how he paid millions for a music video for Milli but he didn't show up to set, only for M to turn it into a music video for Koker(another CC artiste). But every act who has had a fallen out with him said varied things about him. So there, a bit of context.
Okay... Thanks for trying to make M.I look bad again... Clap for yourself... Now I may not be well detailed as you are... But this are my points... How is M.I the only surviving artists from his circle.... Did ice prince not blow... Jesse blew too... Brymo blew... AQ... Still toping.... You remember mohits... How many of the old artists that blew under mohits are still trending now? Dbanj? Wande? D.Prince? K.switch? You know EME... How many of then are still Popping... Generally... How many of the superstars that have once ruled the industry are still there now? The question you are supposed to be asking is this... Did these guys under M.I have their field day.... Jesse's first album blew... He was predicted to be the next hip-hop legend back then... Ice won the BET.... Brymo blew massively... Etc They all had their shine... Even M.I isn't purely mainstream currently... If not that he always influences the culture every single time by dropping controversial tracks... Like "you rappers should fix up your life" and his beef with Vector... Under M.I blaq had his time... AQ won a headies award last year... Would you have known AQ as much if he wasn't with M.I Only milli... I can't say what really happened to him... I think some times we need to be fair to those trying to do good to others... When someone does alot, his only mistakes are obvious... That's why it seemed like M.I did Jags bad... M.I helped alot of persons in the industry... BUT HE AIN'T GOD... HE CAN'T DEFINITELY KEEP EVERYONE UP THERE... DESTINIES DIFFER Another question for you... Since they all left M.I "the devil", "the bad record label boss".... Where are they now... What wave are they making... They all did better when they were with him... #I am a tribes man, I would try to keep M.Is legacy standing...

Had to go check ur reaction on dis particular song cos my guy went hard on dis 🔥🔥🔥
The line "I have seen the best turn to weed and loose direction" ..was referring to his bro Jesse (my take). He constantly hails Jesse as the best, but his career didn't take off as it should have.. maybe cos of that good kush!!
Fact...have always had same thought. That line was for Jesse
Wind not weed...
And I doubt m was referring to jags
