Hip-Hop & Rap : Rocketman, my dear brother

Rocketman, my dear brother






@尺ロㄈにモイ-ら凡几,

i just wanted to tell u that.. i have made a complete 180° turn before completing another 180° turn on my appreciation for Kendrick's DAMN. i'm listening to it for the past 5 hours nonstop and i'm completely loving it and blown away wtih it inf fact u could say, i'm totally over the moon with this album. Damn fucking right, n**** TELL ME STH U MOTHER FUCKER TELL ME STHING WHY WHY WHY N****






let me show u how it clicked with me the first time while listening to the song DNA….



*presses play on YT video of "DNA"*







I got, I got, I got, I got
Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace inside my DNA
I got power, poison, pain, and joy inside my DNA
I got hustle, though, ambition flow inside my DNA
I was born like this, since one like this, immaculate conception
I transform like this, perform like this, was Yeshua new weapon
I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head
THUS THAT PUT THE KIDS TO BED
THUS THAT I GOT I GOT I GOT I GOT
Realness, I just kill shit ’cause it's in my DNA
I got millions, I got riches buildin' in my DNA
I got dark, I got evil that rot inside my DNA
I got off, I got troublesome heart inside my DNA
I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve
Yeah, that’s him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird
You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard
I know how you work, I know just who you are
SEE U'S A U'S A U'S A
BITCH UR HORMONS PROLLY SWITCH INSIDE UR DNA
PROBLEM IS ALL THAT SUCKER SHIT INSIDE UR DNA
DADDY PROLLY SNITCHED HERITAGE INSIDE UR DNA
BACKBONE DONT EXIST BORN OUTSIDE A JELLYFISH I GAUGE
SEE MY PEDIGREE MOST DEFINITELY DON'T TOLERATE FRONT

Shit I've been through prolly offend you, this is Paula's oldest son
I know murder, conviction
Burners, boosters, burglars, ballers, dead, redemption
Scholars, fathers dead with kids and
I wish I was fed forgiveness


Me: SIGHHHHHHHHH 💕💕💕



YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH I'M A SOLDIER'S DNA
Born inside the beast, my expertise checked out in second grade
When I was 9, on cell, motel, we didn’t have nowhere to stay
At 29, I've done so well, hit cartwheel in my estate
And I'm gon' shine like I’m supposed to, antisocial extrovert
And excellent mean the extra work
And absentness what the fuck you heard
And pessimists never struck my nerve
And Nazareth gonna plead his case
The reason my power's here on earth
Salute the truth, when the prophet say
SALUTE THE TRUTH WHEN THE PROPHET SAY




I-I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
This is why I say that hip hop has done more damage to young African Americans than racism in recent years
I-I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
I live a better life, I'm rollin' several dice, fuck your life
I-I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
I live a be-, fuck your life
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
This is my heritage, all I'm inheritin'
Money and power, the mecca of marriages
MONEY AND POWER THE MECCA OF MARRIAGES


Me: wait, what



TELL ME STH
U MOTHERFUCKAS CANT TELL ME NOTHIN
ID RATHER DIE THAN TO LISTEN TO U
MY DNA NOT FOR IMITAITON
UR DNA AN ABOMINATION
THIS HOW IT IS WHEN U IN THE MATRIX


Me: *chuckles nervously* I'm in danger.

New Kung Fu Kenny
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Y'all know, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
Here we go!
I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck
I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a fuck

I'm willin' to die for this shit
I done cried for this shit, might take a life for this shit
Put the Bible down and go eye for an eye for this shit
D-O-T my enemy, won't catch a vibe for this shit, ayy
I been stomped out in front of my mama
My daddy commissary made it to commas
Bitch, all my grandmas dead
So ain't nobody prayin' for me, I'm on your head, ayy
Thirty millions later, know the feds watchin'
Auntie on my Telegram like, "Be cautious!"
I be hangin' out at Tam's, I be on Stockton
I don't do it for the 'Gram, I do it for Compton
I'm willin' to die for this shit, nigga
I'll take your fuckin' life for this shit, nigga
We ain't goin' back to broke, family sellin' dope
That's why you maney-ass rap niggas better know

If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

I'm allergic to a bitch nigga, ayy
An imaginary rich nigga, ayy
Seven figures ho, that's slimmer than my bitch figure, ayy
Goin' digital and physical on all y'all, ayy
Bunch of criminals and money in my phone calls, ayy
We okay, we let the A1 fly
Relocate, jump on the same G5
Checkin' for me heavy 'cause I go, yeah, I go, yeah
They never been ready, yeah, I know, yeah, know, yeah
100K spread across the floor, 'cross the floor, yeah
None of y'all fuckin' with the flow, yeah, the flow, yeah
Years in the makin', and don't y'all mistake it
I got 'em by a landslide, we talkin' about races
You know this'll never be a tie, just look at they laces
You know careers take off, just gotta be patient
Mr. One through Five, that's the only logic
Fake my death, go to Cuba, that's the only option


If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

Damned if I do, if I don't (Yuh)
Goddamn us all if you won't (Yuh)
Damn, damn, damn, it's a goddamn shame
You ain't front in line, get out the goddamn way

Niggas thought they wasn't gonna see me, huh?
Niggas thought that K-Dot real life
Was the same life they see on TV, huh?
Niggas wanna flex on me and be in L.A. for free, huh?
Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need a receipt, huh?
'Cause most of y'all ain't real, most of y'all gon' squeal
Most of y'all just envy, but jealousy get you killed
Most of y'all throw rocks and try to hide your hand
Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman
Because it's all in your eyes, most of y'all tell lies
Most of y'all don't fade, most of y'all been advised
Last LP I tried to lift the black artists
But it's a difference 'tween black artists and wack artists


If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
It's the one and only, the world's greatest, the Kid Capri
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

Outstanding. Glad you finally came around to see why I think it's his best album by far. Dude pretty much built on what he did with Good Kid, MAAD City and To Pimp a Butterfly. Combined the gangster rap of the former with the more experimental sound of the latter, and topped himself in his storytelling and lyrical abilities.


Glad you have also finally declared that I'm your favorite poster. I'm pretty much everyone's favorite, but most people refuse to admit it.

I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

totally exactly, oh yeah. not so well versed in gangsta rap (yet) but i'm listening and i believe u.





u've always been Top 5 but this enlightenment with DAMN today definitely rocketed u to the top!! i mean u've been right and i was so wrong all this time. and me finally seeing it.

i'll have to revisit Maad City and TPAB next but i know those albums pretty well already and gave DAMN before today maybe just 2 throws so far. i was a sloppy listener, i'll admit. i'm glad it clicked tho.



BTW as for gangsta hardcore hip hop goes, i've also completed a list of my 50 favourite songs from Prodigy's solo stuff:

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

Wrong, Rocketman. I'm the one everyone cums to see. To put it in Schwarzenegger terms in Total Recall, "You are not you. You are me."

Good call, Jamall.

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother



I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

Get your ass to Mars. I'm taking over.

Good call, Jamall.

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

I got my ass to your mommas house

Gone

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

Oh.

Good call, Jamall.

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

😊😊

Gone

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

My left stroke just went viral
Right stroke put lil' baby in a spiral
Soprano C, we like to keep it on a high note
It's levels to it, you and I know

Re: Rocketman, my dear brother

💕 Humble

Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
Race barriers make inferior you and I
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world

(Pride)
