All you have to do is look at his face when he sings this story, and you know he is a proud man who knows his fair share of pain. All said, he better not fuck up his second chance.
I feel Forte's inner passion. He's correct, we MUST demand more from our people and so-called friends. It's time to stop simply smoking woola-blunts and acting like it's cool to be ignorant. Back to Mr. Forte, he's been through allot, and I'm glad he survived it. Remember, we all look at the mansions and the big body benz' and wish we had it. He took a chance - and paid for it. Remember, the music industry is not designed for us to all be rich. They will rob you before you make any money.
I have been a fan of Forte' since The Score came out. I just saw him last week at Martyrs Live in Chicago. It was a good show. I think someone below me commented that they like his speeches more than his music....lol As a musician, I can understand that. I like his music more when there is the accompaniment - but he said he doesn't consider himself much of a guitarist. The way the music is presented in the studio versions is more listenable because there is more texture.
This shit is ill mayne. I'm 34 so I struggle to find my lane as a hip hop consumer sometimes. Life experience forces you into shit that you relate to. Its like, when youre in your teens and early 20's, you're looking for style to immulate. When you're a little older, youre looking for swag you relate to.
good song, talented guy, but... i don't agree with some of his assessment that there is a "zeitgeist" or an "awakening." That may be true to the converted he is preaching to, but i think people in general are becoming more and more sheep-like, un-thinking and un-critical of the world around them. just my two cents
Great song

i agree he is just trying to explain why he is on guitar as if we were waiting for him to return.
