    the first verse on king TROUP. the more i break it down the better it gets. i feel like doing a new write up just on this:



    [Verse 1]
    I just beat the case
    I hopped out the Benz
    I just f----- some twins
    Had the jewelry in
    I hopped out again
    Pulled up in the Range
    Got drank in my cup
    Like I'm Kirko Bangz
    From ashy to classy
    Keep up with my ice and my fashion
    I take care of my kid with a passion
    I pray to God that they stay happy
    Lil Roscoe, he sleep where it's nasty
    They could've freed him cause he grew up with no daddy
    But instead they took advantage and did him badly
    Ain't give no f---s cause we were saddened
    Got a camera from the club and that's all they had
    They also knew that lil' n----- didn't have a wagon
    (Free the Goat)
    d---

    just the way that Troup's death lead to him basically realizing his own mortality >>>

    like the intro is the catalyst for the all the random, yet interconnected, thoughts he has on this verse/song

    he opens up with "i just beat the case" goes on to describe how he's celebrating his freedom (including taking care of his kids with a passion) then realizes Roscoe lost that same case he beat and breaks down


    its fantastic

    @Narsh I wish I could focus on music to the degree you do. Reading breakdowns of songs like this show me just how thought provoking he is and that it's not just catchy music. Show me the way young gawd

    Honestly, these days that'd pretty much what's playing. Other than trying to sift through and sort through TLOP

    hahah im just playin but yeah i do just listen to music a lot so a lot of my insight comes just from sitting w the material a lot

    but i mean i do the same thing with tv shows/movies etc. its just how my brain works. really bad at paying attention to the little things but pretty decent at looking at the bigger picture

    ive been playin TLOP, Im Up, Out My Past (boosie), and Islah (kevin gates) non stop these past few weeks

    It's a shame that some people don't realize this, and just write him off as another rapper who just talks about materialistic things in every song.
    Hardcore Em Stans especially tbh.

    I've yet to listen to the boosie albums bc I've been on a thug listening spree since barter 6. Gates was nice but i don't find much replay value. Not that's it's not good, I really enjoy listening to him but I don't find there's much to analyze. Thug is hypnotic in the same sense that prime eminem, wayne and kanye are/ were. To me anyway

    For me ita kinda goes like this. I LOVE listening to him but sometimes I find myself questioning why I listen to him or If I REALLY like him that much or if I'm just that bored with music that I'd listen to this alien MFer. I can't fully articulate why I like him but I know that there's something genuine about his music and that he DOES have something to say, it's just to work at discovering it. He's my favorite rapper right now and I don't know why lol

    Yea gates is really blunt/straightforward as a rapper but that's part of what makes him awesome imo

    At first I was like, "oh only the intros about TROUP?"

    Then realized the entire song, at its core, is completely about TROUP and how his death made thug feel
