    Damn, so dope. Being an Afghan War vet I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspirational DOPE music. Coming home from war I lost my soul. I was trapped and couldn't find a way out of the darkness. Thank you Mick. Your words helped me seek light with more of an understanding of our society and the culture within the America borders.

    He killed it. Lapsed time effects with the train moving forwards while hes walking backwards. Reenactments of his friends in the back ground just having fun but, he was heading somewhere with serious intent on his face. The word content is potent Ps and Qs. Meaning high awareness and vigilance of the mind. Truly in the Chicago elite lyricist.

    I love how he keeps the same motif throughout but makes it more complex as he goes. Starts with just P words, then begins to add Q words as well. Then he starts using words with strong/accentuated Ps in the middle (like appreciate). Then he starts using words that don’t start with a Q but sound like they do (like cold and coins). Then at the end he throws in words that don’t sound like they start with a P but do (like phonetics). It’s genius and by the end he has it all tied together.
    Also that Peter Pettigrew bar is still one of my favorite bars of all time.

    • @ryanglass1008
      @ryanglass1008 Рік тому

      Facts man. There’s so much going on in this s#!t I’m still catching bars 7 years later. Just like you said, it gets so much more complex as it goes and there’s so many words that sound like they should have a Q followed by the bars that don’t sound like they start with P. Alchemy was the song that got me really hip to him, but this song put him on another level to me. This whole album is nutty.
      Edit: when the whole song is annotated on lyric sites, you know it’s about to be gas

Im just glad to say i prefer music like this to a lot of the other shit thats plagues the airwaves nowadays. And as a bonus though, ive had favorite artists before but none of their music has actually made me reevaluate my life choices and think about things on deeper scales. Listening to mick and his music has made me think so much more of whats important in life and what isnt. And i thank you mick. Anybody here on these comments i think would agree. Drink more fucking water.

      It's called alliteration. That was the whole meaning of the video. P's and Q's is a British lingo abbreviating for paying attention/being aware. Hence why in the video, he's moving forward whilst everyone else is moving backwards.

      remix16ification Kano is one the most popular UK grime artists with his breakout track being 'P's and Q's'(check it out), so it's hard for us to to listen to this because we just got Kano in our mind when we see title or hear Mick Jenkins says ''I've been on my p's and q's''.

    • @christopherrouse5502

    • @masonlittle2563
      @masonlittle2563 9 років тому +1

    • @KnowOne111
      @KnowOne111 9 років тому +5

      My interpretation was at first it seems like Mick is the one moving backwards because we usually associate left to right (well, at least in most languages/cultures) with forward. But then you see the train go by and you realize it's really him that's moving forward through the chaos around him. Even if he's doing it in a different way than what you might expect (right to left). Maybe that's a little simplistic but I didn't really see much meaning in the train itself

    • @christopherrouse5502
