Ka doesn't write rhymes, he narrates movie scenes. True poet. His camera game is on point also with those long form videos. A hip hop treasure in the shadows....
No words dude, been listening to this man for a few years now. Everything gets better with each listen. The poetry, ambience, and messages he conveys are incredible, as well as the instrumental selection. I appreciate you KA
@@SebsBeenHere i feel the exact same as your last comment, i just discovered ka last month, and there hasnt been a day that i havent been listening , and it was growing on me more and more, getting better with every single listen . i couldnt believe the news, i still cant believe it
Been studying and listening to Ka's incredible style for close to 7 or 8 years. Just now hearing the Guru influence in the delivery. I don't believe that even Ka himself really understands just how dope his work is.
his way with words is unrivaled by all except mf doom and roc marc. such a writerly way about him hip hop has come a long way from it's humble start yall
There may be days I lead the way as a beacon Attractin' by my actions, not my speakin' My battle plan was grab the hand, I was reachin' From teens, was taught to lean for support was leechin' So I stood on mine during the hoodest time Was a nightmare, felt like life here was as good as dyin' We was born in the thorns, few arose Once a town's noose, now in soundproofs pursuing golds On the block with the rock, up nights dribblin' Time spent gettin' bent, hard to be upright citizen
