I can't believe he'll stop rapping. Even in his back catalogue has him rapping on songs that wouldn't be considered typical hip-hop. Ive no doubt that his next album, even though he's said it will be focusing on his guitar and singing, will have him rapping on a few tracks. I don't think he can help himself.
He said in an interview that the next album was not going to be a rap album but may have some rap. I dont think we will notice a break in any of the genres that we are used to.
I don't think Ren will ever stick with one genre, he likes to mix it up too much. There has always been a lot of rap in his songs and though he wants to do a timeless album he showed with the Back on 74 retake that he can blend rap into anything!
Guessing the blanked-out word rhymes with maggot... but "Karen" would work, too. But "Karen" wouldn't have been blanked out... unless Ren is doing some crazy-clever double-bluff?
I and many others guessed (f@gg0t). Another name for a cigarette in Britain. Nas said it in the original version and it is from the early 90's. I can't even type the word without a warning.
@@louannlang7471 It began with an F...and you can say F*ck no problem in videos. I don't know another word that would be a no-no. Either that or he pretending to bleep out a word to keep everyone guessing.
@@patdriver9635 Flick knife doesn't get censored and bleeped out under You Tube and I just typed it out. That makes no sense. He says flick knife in his blind eyed song and it doesn't get censored. It is a word that cannot be said on You Tube or typed in the comments.
