this was easily my favorite track on the album. the way that a french national tune is flipped to create the image of free africans taking back what theyre owed, helping themselves to a party on the last vestiges of old empire? its gorgeous.
The building he shot this at is the Citadel in Haiti. It’s a fort built atop a mountain; it enabled cannons to shoot all the way to the sea without ships being able to fire back. The fort is filled with guns captured from French ships. They all bear their original French names. Recently some of them were stolen.
As an insatiable listener and middling decoder of Mach’s music, along with being someone who has been able to appease my wanderlust, beginning to travel the world, I’m oftentimes amazed by the way I am able to recall my familiarity with foreign objects through his lyrics. Of course, some of the worldly knowledge in his music was taught to me in school and some of it learned through reading, but I’m not immediately reminded of say, the Ottoman Empire, when I hear a line like “high as Sophia out in Turkey”. It’s only when I visited the Grand Mosque during my trip to Istanbul and listened to the GAT: VI on my way back to my hotel room that I understood the line. Now, I’ve comprehended the essence of many of his lyrics without international flights, novel readings, or films, but these frequent cross-referential revelations not only make me increasingly adore his music and his mind, but they add layers of enjoyment to mediums that I love to engage with. It is a kind of serendipity that makes make want to explore so much more, and more, and more!
Yeah man I don’t know how he dose this, not to mention all the Haitian and Jamaican references bc I’m both of those cultures in one, I’m so lucky plus i love to read now and explore the world without being a passport boy 😂, what literature do you recommend that references Mach or viseversa I should say. Also I don’t have any of the exclusive Mach project I cant afford it but one day soon i will.
@Bamx3just saying that i had to go listen and so far i approve and also yes Blue lips if yall haven’t listen to it is fucking great i mean prove me wrong
I smoked a blunt on those cannon balls. The amount of cannons waiting for the French to come back was powerful. Lafferiere Citadel will forever live in my soul the energy it took to build that fortress is astronomical 💪🏼❤️✊🏼🌌🇭🇹
I agree. It reminds me of real hip hop, just a dude spitting some real shit over a normal beat, without all the extra production. It reminds me of early Kendrick Lamar
When it first came out last month I thought it was good... and by now I've listened to it so many times over I think it's a contender for the decade lol. And I'm not even a huge Mach fan, the only other album I love by him is Pray
I think Conductor Williams should've got producerof the year they sleeping on all he's done this year.and he down to earth on his you tube channel no one on that platform is giving us jewels like he is
Absolutely brilliant 👌🏾 Frère Mach Hommy always dig deeper ! The whole history behind the monument 'La Citadelle Henri Christophe' is bluffing and has powerful meaning ! Probably the album of the year hands down 🙌🏾 Da Lovelution Ain't Stoppin' ✊🏾❤️✊🏾
The parallel similarities between the global power structures and those subjugated by them bare such a striking resemblance. The means which desperate people will resort to in order survive mimic’s the nature of capitalism.The lens which Mach uses for the listener to gain perspective of this is so well articulated,it’s insane ! This track for instance delves into geopolitical components but you can also look at it from a drug king pins view .
Deffo a fav of mine and the way it transition to xerox clat is just amazing and the message there too . This was a high for me on the album . Just needed it man

Thought that was Avignon for a second
Thanks for the info, first time hearing of it and it looks so damn beautiful.
there is a mission like that in RDR2 in guarma thats crazy
@@cesarortega7870oh yea that was in chapter 5 if I remember correctly. The game really took a turn in that chapter
Unfortunately cannons couldn't shoot that far.
It is a damn cool fortress tho...
54 year old here. HipHop fan since 80s. This track right here is reason I still fuck with HH !
This really might be the song of the year
I second that
Professor sky

Ganger - Rroxket
The way the electric sax blends into the vocals in the chorus is like butter
*Conductor is a magician for that*
That is actually Sam Gendel’s doing - super great musician worth checking out. He also provided some sax for Wooden Nickels
💯

@@oliverbranch777 seek your soul my boy ;)
i’m pretty sure the line is just “hagia sophia out in turkey”, “hagia” and “high a-” sound very similar
Started from the top of the Surah! Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, Alif Lam Mim, I'm slidin in my beam
I swear that's my only complaint about the whole album
Qur'an should not be incorporated in this fashion
@@kingkrimzon3889 the issue should be with music as a whole in that case
@@artbydani7 true but at least try not to include sacred texts in the music
It's like adding an even bigger sin on top of a sin
@@kingkrimzon3889 isn’t listening to music in Islam a sin in general? Just don’t listen to the song then
@@D-Paramountcy yh I guess you're right
MACH NATION WHATTUP
Nothing up, nothing down, you?
We here god💪🏿💯
I need a python trench coat 🔥
This Album is incredible in so many ways
@Bamx3second after what?

I'm french and ear mach hommy sing the lyrics of a national song for kids is the most funny things of the year
Album of the year, thus far.
That's all I have to say.
Man idk Roc Marciano album n Q blue lips hit bro that track "on the run" smh
Blue lips definitely a contender for me "Blueslides" kills @deshawn1995
I agree. It reminds me of real hip hop, just a dude spitting some real shit over a normal beat, without all the extra production. It reminds me of early Kendrick Lamar

I had a bad day at work when everything was going wrong and forgot about everything and zoned out to this on repeat it was therapeutic
I think Conductor Williams should've got producerof the year they sleeping on all he's done this year.and he down to earth on his you tube channel no one on that platform is giving us jewels like he is
My favorite rapper of all time.
