Entry 14..

"Only but a man, but man enough to challenge all" - Wale..

Sooo, I thought I was going to sleep, but that aint happen.. It's coo tho, you rest when you pass.. Westup folks? You know what it is.. So much music out right now, hard to even remember all that's out.. But you know that Watch the Throne dropped and the most common convo has been who ripped it more between J and Ye.. So I'm gon touch on this, I feel it goes song by song.. But let's roll, letting this Game Red Album bang for some reason, and I'm hyped off this first track.. But peep it..

First, overall the album is incredible.. I've spun the whole thing, easily, 45 times, no Rodeo (no bulls**).. The only song I can skip is That's My B****, cuz I heard that a while back (although, today I kinda was diggin it so prolly wont get skipped anymore).. But yeh the album is on point, of course dope lyrics, amazing production, coo concepts, overall heroin (dope).. Only knock I have on it is that some songs too short, kinda has a mixtape feel to it, rather than an album.. But let's check these tracks..

Sidenote: Just changed to the WTT album in the earbuds, feel like its more suitable..

1. No Church in the Wild f/ Frank Ocean..
This songs even I think.. No ones verse really sticks out, Frank Ocean on the hook is money, and that little touch of The Dream is dope.. I think 'Ye has to get this one tho if I had to choose, just cuz the way he comes on.. On the real tho, I think Jay prolly has the better verse, I just don't know what he talks about off top ahaha.. I'm gon give this to Mr. West tho..

2. Lift Off f/ Beyonce..
First off, Beyonce makes this song, f it, this is Beyonce's song.. Seriously.. She kills this, she owns this.. I aint even a B fan but she does amazing on this joint.. And these two have such short verses it's hard to even dissect they lyrics.. But if you listen, Jay gets this one.. Ye verse coo, just normal 'Ye rambling, it's tight tho.. I spent like 5 mins talking to my Bro the other night about 2 bars from J tho.. "Earth is boring to him, it's making my d*** soft, when you Earnhardt as me eventually you hit a big wall".. I mean, dude basically saying I've done everything possible on this planet, only place for me to switch it up is on Mars, but the meat was that second line.. Brief History lesson, Dale Earnhardt was easily the best race car driver in the sports History, and had an accident during a race, in which he hit a "wall" and died from that.. Jay saying, when you at the top for so long you soon hit a point where you can't go up no more, or get stuck with trying to find new ventures, again, needs to take it to Mars.. All in all, Jay got this one..

3. Niggas in Paris..
Jay won.. Period.. Hahhaha.. Both they verses cold, but this why J won.. "Psycho, I'm liable to go Micheal, take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6".. That shi cray ('Ye voice).. That line is too dope to not mention.. As it's spinning tho, I'm feeling 'Ye verse, ahahha.. "Bougie girl, grab her hand" But overall, W goes to Jay on this one, it could go either way tho, but gotta choose one.. And the ending part bout getting in my zone is tight too..

4. Otis f/ Otis Redding..
Who would drop an untraditional single, with back and forth mixtape rap with no hook? The DWade and Bron James of the rap game.. This joint is toooooooo coooooolddd (pool in a blizzard with ice cubes in it)..  Sheesh.. Idk who made this beat, prolly Ye, but damn, it's raw, makes you wanna sing.. But umm, this a tough one, you gotta go verse by verse.. "I invented swag"? J gets the first off that, ahahha.. 2nd set of verses.. This one might be even.. Breakdown!!!! Jay: "Looking like wealth" Much better than rich.. "Political refugee asylum can be purchased" Look up Political Asylum if you aint kno what it means, but basically dude saying after he "murks" you for messin with Bay Bro, he'll simply fly on his private jet somewhere, using his 5 passports ahaha, to a diff country and file for PA in which he can't be touched by any form of law enforcement, hence he's never going to jail.. Kanye: "I made Jesus Walks, I'm never going to hell" Just feel how he fed off J last line, the ol schoo back and forth rap is good money.. "Couture level flow is never going on sale" Couture is specially made clothing for specific people, kinda tailor made, usually isn't sold again in the same form to anyone else.. "Hermes of verses, sophisticated ignorance write my curses in cursive" Think this is a double entendre, Hermes is the messenger of the gods so he's delivering messages in the form of lyrics, and I believe Hermes is some sort of fashion too, like the best of the best, think they produce scarfs (don't quote me), and the 2nd half of the bar is just intelligent.. "I get it custom, you a customer, you aint accustomed to going through customs you aint been no where huh?" The rant on the different forms of the word custom give Ye the W on the 2nd half I think, just clever.. 3rd set of verses.. Jay: "Smoking Cubanos with Castro in cabanas" Just showcasing his moves overseas again, and just stating his status.. Fidel Castro was a leader in Cuba or something, look him up if you wanna find the specifics, cuz I don't know them, and I aint finna act like I do.. So Jay saying he tight like that to be smoking cigars (expensive cigars) with Fidel Castro.. "Build your fences, we digging tunnels, can't you see we getting money up under you" Every time I hear this I see Bad Boys II, but idk if folks in tune with this, but the Mescans (that's real life how I spell it), like the ones from Mexico, started building tunnels to move they drugs through since America threw them fences up.. 'Ye: "Pray that all of they pain be champagne" Just saying that hope the only pain yall get is drinks, but they killing the game (shoulder shrug).. Giving that one to Jay tho.. So if we do the math right, that's J 2 Ye 1.. So Jay got the Otis joint..

This last one done got the kid tired tho, I'll finish the rest of the album another day, hopefully 2morr..  So read up, ya deeg.. So far we looking at Jay-Z 3 Kanye West 1.. GNight.. Twit be that @dnorrisii too..

Track I'm spinning back: Wale - Barry Sanders.. This The Eleven One Eleven Theory tape is bananas.. I'll talk about that another day too..

Til then, it's always Peace, Love & Soul..
