Illmac, I've been a fan for over a decade. I've learned so much from you and I've followed your battle and music career. As a creative myself, I see a lot of similarities between us, and I just want to add that I am consistently proud of how much you improve. We don't know each other, but that doesn't matter. Keep being productive, creative, and stay disregarding your vices because they're the only things that can hinder our successes. Creativity correlates with the quality of one's life, whether bad or good; but it shows how much we're in flow with our higher selves. I'm rambling, sorry. Good video.
Been supporting illmac since the WRC days. Musical projects are dope and the battle culture, almost unanimously, puts him in their top 5's. There's a reason for it. The Raising The Bar series is a perfect showcase into the skill set that illmac is armed with. I especially appreciate the deeper topics other than bravado and battle bars. I've met him around 5 times, so far, at various KOTD events in Toronto over the years. He seems to be a genuine dude that truly appreciates his fans and I'm a genuine fan that truly appreciates his talents. Cheers, illmac, on another dope RTB. Shout outs to Chase, as well.
Yay dont get me wrong.. I loove the 4 season project your doing its brilliant, however I was a little worried that it would put your Raising the Bar series on a temporary hold.. I was wrong. You've figured out a way to somewhat merge those two things together. Thank you for all your creativity and hardcore musician-ry. Consistently, You stay my favorite artist. - Merkababae
Yeah if anything putting these projects out gives me more of a reason to put raising the bars out more consistently. These last 2 have been put out in the closest proximity since the very beginning
I keep coming back to this. It’s so …beautiful? I’m not sure how to describe it honestly. The way you write is so unique. It’s like an incredible author was gifted the ability to rhyme at a very high level.
“Big business, it’s like poker with a twist 1% gets to gamble without holding any chips.” After learning a little about the banking and financial system that line is wildly accurate. Illmac always blessing us with what big K would call “nerd” rap hahaha
Unbelievably good especially once the second quarter begins and the rest of it happens it just gets better and better in this one into a chilling crescendo of current events and brilliant compassionate and indignant thoughts. I love it, keep it up! Spring is a fantastic project, your work ethic is inhuman and hugely inspiring
Thank you for everything you contribute to Hip Hop culture. 🙏 You Sir, are one of the handful of artists who push my pen to limits I never thought I would reach. Every time you drop something new, it inspires me. Your 3rd Round verse against Bigg K gives me chills every time.
@@illmacTV thank you bro 🙏 I'm actually doing something somewhat similar to your raising the Bar, you definitely influenced it. I do like an intro/interview type thing with the music video. It's called "Parish Point of View Freestyles." I'm actually dropping one tomorrow on Tonight's Da night by Redman.
"I feel like the last samurai drawing his sword or the look on a Atheist face watching Gods marching to war the beginning of an Era simulation sort circuited every verse an missile launched into the firmament street journalist report on current events Thoughs preaching peace dodging murder attempts" 😷ILL
I like how he holds back at first Then switches it up throughout the whole recording Pen game is on its own level Illmaculate always putting in work "Most rappers are like Nascar they fail when it's their turn to write"
The real gem was baby yoda harnessing the force lmao I shared the video just because of that one bar The rest was pretty good I enjoyed it as a whole I never heard you take it double time before It would be legendary to hear you freestyle for a change That's real though Keep it up aha
"enough bad apples i'm with chopping down the tree" 😤😤😤😤

I like how he holds back at first
Then switches it up throughout the whole recording
Pen game is on its own level
Illmaculate always putting in work
"Most rappers are like Nascar they fail when it's their turn to write"
Didnt hold back at all. Def gems in the start.
The real gem was baby yoda harnessing the force lmao
I shared the video just because of that one bar
The rest was pretty good
I enjoyed it as a whole
I never heard you take it double time before
It would be legendary to hear you freestyle for a change
That's real though
Keep it up aha
It's almost like a "get em listening" asthetic. Definitely some gems early tho!
Maybe the greatest hip hop writer of all time
Sheesh, went off with this one.
