The Story of OJ might be one of the most powerful vids I've ever seen in rap.
Whole video was incredible but what put it over the edge for me was the kid that smiles during the lynching.

The point I think other NTers were trying to make earlier is that Hov is propped up so [fixed] on the mount Olympus of hip hop that people won't let him just be an emcee anymore.
So much gravity is given to his words that any other rapper who issues a response combatting Those words (ie Boosie) is labeled "sensitive".
How asinine is that when the actions he's speaking against in 2017 are actions he is no stranger to partaking in? Dude in the post responding to me really trying to differentiate between Hov and any other people flashing money because Jay was in a party with alcohol and was around other well to do entertainers, so it was the right place to "floss". Y'all gotta chill.
I get it, Hov is great and he deserves the respect owed for holding the GOAT title. But he's still a fan of the sport (****, he's the first person I can recall saying that rap was such). So let that man compete. This time last year he was on tracks and photos with Future. Fast forward to today there are people saying he's going to end Future's career.
Son, it's not nearly that serious.
If it's not that serious, why do you keep concentrating on the money line? Is that what you get out of the album? That was two bars off an entire album.
You're worse than women who just concentrate on him cheating on Beyonce.
Life is about growing and progressing. That's what the entire album is about. Most of the album he's talking about himself and saying the stuff he did was wrong. Like when he talked about stabbing Un, and looking back at it he should have ignored it, because it was nothing more than ego. or provoking Solange. or when he talks about instead of doing dumb stuff he should have been buying property.
Same with how he treated women.
Stop defending it as being stupid when he's admitting he's made mistakes. So saying, well Jay Z did it before, that's the point
I can only think of ONE close to it honestly. Maybe two.
Nas and Damian Marley "Patience" and 2Pac "Brenda's Got A Baby". Mayyyybe "Can't Trust It" by Public Enemy?
I'm glad you said Can't Trust It
By The Time I Get To Arizona was pretty powerful also, and of course Fight The Power.
My post was a clear response to the DMV rnb NTer. Relax champ. Contrary to whatever ill-put-together idea you have, I don't dedicate all of my posts on the music board to you. I listened to the album. It doesn't take a genius to peep the lyrics are about maturation. The point was intended to address how silly it is to call the behavior of one person "sensitive", and to give leeway to another who was "flossing" because of their setting and company.
I'm worse than broads decoding Beyoncé? You're too old for that petty stuff fam. Be better. While you're at it, try getting a grip on the concept of 'bias' and why it's so apparent that you possess it when it comes to artists you like. The ends you go to defend some of them is Stannish; Stan's story didn't end well.
Son actually proves that Hov is guilty of the same "insecure" stuff when he was these guys' age, and Magic says "you're trying too hard".
I love NT, man.
Have you guys heard the new Public Enemy album that dropped for free last week? They're still killing it.
I'd love for that to be the next evolution of this strife between them.
Just like 32 bars a piece of them airing out their grievances, talking about the changes in their relationship over time, etc. Or it could just be mostly Ye rapping if it's all more on his side. Could be called Big Brother II.
That picture is dope.
hmmmm 1st person to say thatI just listened to 4:44 for the first time.. My favorite song is BAM
Don't want to hear any bars or music from Kanye. It's 2017, he's trash and a Uncle Tom.

Jay intro, drop a 16 about how things have changed since back then.
Grainy sample of "Big Brother" hook.
Kanye 32 bars, no breaks. Airing out emotions, regrets, how important brotherhood is.
Fade out the track with a loop of a sample of Kanye saying "my big brother... My big brother...." over the Big Brother instrumental.
Call the track Family Reunion. Make it the intro to WTT2
Uncle Tom wasn't a bad person thoDon't want to hear any bars or music from Kanye. It's 2017, he's trash and a Uncle Tom.
Clark sisters hear Family Fued for the 1st time.
