Pusha T saying Hovi Baby scared him is so funny. Because it is one of the craziest rap performances ever. In the 3rd verse he literally starts flowing off-beat on purpose to catch up, while rapping about the instruments on the track being scared 😭
“Chasing the hi-hat all other the track, the snare is scared of the air in here”
And then that second verse is mind blowing too. The “I’m so far ahead of my time im about to start another life” scheme, into the nutty “did it” flow at the end.
Jay is a monster. It’s so funny to watch people downplay his ability like their favs could ever do this. And the rhyme schemes on this track are brilliant too
That chess scene in The Wire (2002–2008) where D’Angelo lays out the whole system, kings, queens, pawns, and Bodie still thinking he can move up… that moment quietly tells you exactly how it all ends.
Fun fact: HOV actually wanted Ski Beatz to give him this beat instead of Camp-Lo (AND HE SHOULD’VE) but was given “Feelin’ It” instead. If Bey did a whole cover of Flaws & All like this, she could do the funniest thing 😂🤣 Life truly is poetic sometimes.🔥😂💯🐐
The Wire (2002–2008) is essential viewing, not just for the storytelling but for how it builds an entire system piece by piece, every character, every arc, every detail serving a bigger picture that still feels unmatched.
Two decades before Michael B. Jordan won an #Oscar for Best Actor, he was part of one of TV’s greatest achievements. Before he was Smoke & Stack -he was Wallace. This is what it looks like to witness a child actor evolve into a bonafide movie star. How are you not inspired?
