"You on a holiday playin' strange fruit/ If imma make it to a 'billie', I cant take the same route"

I'm finding a bunch of these as I listen through.


Shots @ Ye???


No not even close. its a Billie Holiday punchline using her song Strange Fruit

I honestly thought the something maybe not shots but it seems it could be about him.

Martin had a dream, Hov gotta team

My chain already heavy, don't let me get a ring

Parades down Flatbush, Confetti on my fur

Turn right on Red Hook, niggas heavy on the curve

See most of my niggas died early twenties or late teens

I'm just trying to come from under the thumb of this regime

1% of a billion more than niggas even seen

Still they wanna act like it's an everyday thing

clean

This whole verse is dope ... Plays on being a form of Dr.Martins dream realized ... Then uses some nice wordplay to describe how if he won a chip with the nets he would bring everything full circle and have a parade ending in Marcy where it all started ...

Also he kinda ethers niggas who were trying to downplay his role as owner of the nets with that 1% line

Hov spittin on here ... Real smooth and easy like ... But still spittin nevertheless

Fo real ma nigga? You think what he described in that verse equates to Dr.Martin's dream being realized? Wow...yall real misguided.

It ain't that hard to see the very obvious and basic level correlation ....

If you dont get shit like that....hey ... That ain't my problem ...I'm still going to enjoy the artistry

Really solid album man

I didnt know what to expect with this

His flow was definitely off at first but it got stronger as the album went on

It aint a perfect album, sometimes he's in cruise control where he sounds bored

Production was solid all the way through

Favorite tracks: Piccaso Baby, Tom Ford, FuckWithMeUKnoIGotIt, Oceans, Somewhere in America, BBC

Hov made a summer banger right here, just in time for his tour with JT dude was smart as hell

I listened to this album not expecting a Black Album, Blueprint, Vol. 1

Thats the problem with alotta yall niggas

MCHG > Born Sinner/TheGifted > Yeezus

Sorry Ye

Exactly what I thought.
