FACTS

[@theglockenspiel]

The tempo change is so great, reminds me of something from J Dillas donuts

[@charliebirdnba]

reminds me of Dilla's "Don't Cry"

[@nikolevin1060]

I thought the exact same thing

[@vickjr98]

@@nikolevin1060 exactly. That's accurate

[@krsnaviswakarma]

Black Thought is the best rapper ever.

[@seanjjpaul]

[@samn3276]

[@ndujamz]

Personally, This is the best album from Black Thought.

[@vickjr98]

I hear it. Feels as though he gets better with every year, incredible

[@patrickthompson8511]

Unbelievable how he described grandma house in the 70s. 😅😂✌️💯

[@ATLASNEVERSHRUGS]

Had a dream about it too, after listening ❤

[@Righteousone18]

He took me to his neighborhood in South Philly on this one. Hanging out at grandma’s house, I remember those days. Real vivid storytelling 5/5

[@sundiatasoubefree683]

This is poetry and art in its highest form, hip hop perfectly personified in a song, the way he painted the picture of his childhood years was beautiful, he had me hanging on to every single word, it was like I was taking a walk through his memory! This is by far my favorite album of his!

[@NewarKLegacy]

Amazingly true but you got more studying to do. He been doing this same dynamic and dastardly thing since before the word bling.

[@johje02]

👆🏾my god! Black Thought left earth on this song. the best flow and descriptive bar work that i’ve heard from anyone all year.

[@moketekeketsi8189]

"I wouldn't change a thing if I could
What made me is everything: The bad, the ugly, the good"

[@TheLWebb100]

Thought went off on this!

[@TheBookOfSammy]

I cant even articulate how groovy, substantive, joyful and artistic this whole album construction is. Amazing work Black.

[@tyfreedmen9721]

I was already a fan of Big Crown Records because of Lady Wray. Now, they released a collab project with my favorite MC. Incredible!

[@michaelpeak2438]

Simply my favorite song that’s came out this year. Utterly perfect display of raw creative and reflective lyrical brilliance.

[@keviswalke-kg7lr]

OMG when the beat switched up, gave me life!

[@leonxrdo6561]

This song is making me float

[@stevenscaife4208]

Dilla Don’t Cry vibes but with Thought over the top. A winning combination.

[@MiguelHernandez-ej7dn]

[@sny-presents]

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Sometimes the weather takes me back to the days of crazy summers
With Aunt Blanche telling me to run and play the numbers
I'm tryna make it to the park to satisfy your hunger
For the DJ cuttin' up "Let's Dance" or "Funky Drummer"
Those gorilla-sized speakers was taller than five feet, huss
The roof by the basketball courts, that's where my seat was
Where powerlines were full of pigeons or fly sneakers
That died a miserable death hanging high in the heat, but
I wouldn't change a thing if I could
What made me is everything: the bad, the ugly, the good
It's understood that South Philly was a marvel, I'd never be one to argue
The cracks in the pavement, front steps made of marble
The smell of Pine-Sol, my grandmother kept 'em clean, y'all
The vestibule's a section of floor behind the screen door
Runners over the shag carpet, I'm not feeling
Wood paneling on the walls up to the drop ceiling
All the furniture draped in thick transparent layers of vinyl
All the chairs, the sofa, the record player kept Mahalia spinning
Minnie be grinning knowin' I done spent a day of penny pinching and sinning
See her in the kitchen cooking fish or chicken depending on what day it is
If I'm staying there, then yeah, that's just the way it is
If she say it is, in Minnie crib, the time froze
After sundown, you keep them curtains and the blinds closed
Watch how far back the La-Z-Boy recline goes
Peppermints in the Lazy Susan, never mind those
TV on whether or not somebody watching it
The floor model was broke, portable on top of it
The last bastion of hope to document the era
Was Kodacolor imagery and memories put together

[@qthe6thman]

This the one
