I can't deny that the wordplay and finesse is here in spades, but it's still an album for hoodrats that promotes shooting cops and selling drugs

If you think that shit is impressive you might be retarded

i don't love this album but it's pathetic to judge music based on who listens to it

Doesn't the album denounce criminality ?

it doesnt promote it, is discusses it

This album is so fucking boring.
This.

We need more christian rap with upstanding values instead of this nigger shit

It discusses it in first person in a proud demeanor
That's promotion

literally nothing wrong with either of those.
killing non-cops and selling snake oil, on the other hand...

The album discusses their homies that have passed due to gang violence but apparently that's just life and they don't pay attention to black on black crime

this
rapfags are literal children

why would he bring up that stuff? he just raps about what he saw as a kid. he’s not going to bring up any political externality because that’s not the point.

t. underage

Imagine listening to rap music past the age of 16.

It's really not. He isn't proud of what he does just proud that he survived and sustained his moral character and convictions during extreme tribulations.

Imagine pretending to hate rap past the age of 14. you’ll grow out of the phase eventually zoomer.

Imagine limiting the amount of genres you listen to. You’re a retard.

it's a guy talking about selling drugs over a five second loop.

so?

cope harder kid

Morality suddenly matters on Yea Forums when it comes to a group of people I don't like.

I could listen to this album 1000 times and never tire of it. It's great for going out on walks too

if rap was made by whites this board would eat it up
