The beat, the lyrics, the delivery, the way he tells a dark story...THIS IS HIP HOP. And "in my sleep" ---Budden is THEEE CONCEPT KING!!!! How is it a great song like this has 29,419 views and that bullshit Nicki Minaj shit with Lil Wayne in a freddy krueger sweater and skinny jeans has like 32 million? These dumbass people will listen to anything corporate media shoves down their throats. A bunch of fucking zombies. it's like truly bothersome to me. Budden deserves more fans, straight up.
@KatotownUSA i feel you my dude...i hate how the media has people thinkin that lil wayne and drake are the best...it makes me mad...i dont even get it..but fuck it...as long as theres real niggas like us that know the real deal...real rappers will always live....peace
Yeah verse 1. Al finds his father's gun takes it to school and accidentally shoots Romel (His brother) Verse 2. Nitty (Al & Romel's father) is a drug dealer who sells dope to his own wife (Boys mother). Verse 3. Mother O.D.'s on dope and dies so Romel takes the gun his dad (Nitty) hid under his pillow and kills him with it. Now Romel is in jail with his own brother (Al's already there for verse 1 shooting) and Romel gets revenge on his brother for shooting him years back. Truly amazing...
niggaz is babelin about how his beats r whack nd shit, fuk outta here son, there not bad at all. u want club, weezy, t-pain beats go listen to there muzik nigga.
I gotta say... Joe Budden hyas come a long way from when he started. from pup it up, to disappearing and making mood muzik, to padded room, slaughterhouse, and now escape route. i gotta say this is his best album yet. Props to Joey
@KrazyAnimeKitten only thing is they should have left the original no leaf clover chorus, much more suited and hard hitting than the squeaky voice imo
the first verse is about al and romel, they're brothers. the second verse is about their parents. the third verse is about romel killing his dad for killing his mom with dope and getting revenge on his brother al while in a prison cell for accidentaly shooting him years earlier
@sosdakid ... good breakdown. u gotta pay attention, shits crazy. best story teller since B.I.G. in my opinion. Fabolous good too, listen to "can you hear me" and "miss my love"
Do any of Joe's stories have a happy ending? At the end of EVERY one I heard, at least one person died.

wow, he just sampled the chorus of No Leaf Clover and sped it up. cheap.

He just told a deep tale of revenge and all you understood was the Metallica sample. That's not cheap, but it's sad.
