I cant even begin to explain how much Strange Music pumps me up! Everytime I think I've seen what they have to offer they flip the script with something fresh and untouchable! Guess that's what happens when those with talent recruit those with equal/greater talent. I know this ain't new but GODDAMN! STRAAAAANGE MUSIC!
For everyone talking shit about Kendrick's version, if you listen to it in the context of the album it's about acting tough for others. Apparently the scene is that he's in a car freestyling & trying to impress friends. I mean the song after it is called "The Art of Peer Pressure." So think a little before blindly hating every mainstream rapper.
his body of work is already great, and with that verse he's saying that he's only gonna get better. so yeah, i'd say it's going to be the beginning of his legacy.
brah i've been listening to tech since 2001 back when he was REALLY creative. anghellic and absolute power are still two of my favorite ever. it's simply not necessary to take the time to understand his lyrics when they're in black and white
From my Information from Following UBI on Social Media, this song wasn't meant to sound better then Kendricks, this song isn't meant to be a Parody either, Kendrick Lamar is a Rapper UBI looks up to, so this song is Straight out Respect and Mutuality to the King Kunta
I know you commented this two years but imma reply anyways lol. I’m sure Ubi wasn’t trying to do anything but respect Kendrick but he just made it better imo than Kendrick. Ubi and Godi just are way too talented
that was sick for some reason i started scrolling down the comments and right as i started reading "dont make me..." he started in the video " dont make me cover your kitchen ...." coincidence on timing haha. thought id share that rofl
I know he came up with it on the spot but from a directive's perspective. I'll tell you they did probably about 10-50 different takes and then sifted through them to find the best ones and then copy and pasted them in a cohesive manner to make it flawless. But it's dope.... and I like it a lot...
yeah that's what i love about Ces, they have that unique sort of beats, they fit perfectly on that, i'm a bigger goddi han Ubi fan. Together they make a strong case for Stange MVP this year :D
and you gotta listen to that album in full and really dissect it (again, rap genius can help you with that, it explains every line) to really get the full satisfaction. it's a short film basically about his struggles growing up in compton. swimming pools? everyone thinks it's a party/drinking song, but it's an anti-drinking song about him growing up with family members who were alcoholics. just because his lyrics are a little bit "simpler" doesn't mean you don't have to read between the lines
Bobby had a dream Lennon had a dream Ubi have a dream [Hook] All my life I want power and money Respect my mind or die a death bloody Pray my name became as famous as kid cudi So I can fuck the world for bills and rent buddy [Verse 1: Ubiquitous] God damn I feel crazy, dammit I'm sick of waitin' I'm grindin' looking for a sign, while I'm rhyming in anticipation Coming after the stats of a master, like VROOM VROOM I'm chasing Facing the path of greatness, but its too soon to say it I pray that they loose they patience, pray that I made to prove it Making the strangest music, only take me a day to do it Flew to New York to shoot it, take a look if you're listen' For all you pussies that blew it I came to Brooklyn to get it screamin' [Hook] All my life I want power and money Respect my mind or die a death bloody Pray my name became as famous as kid cudi So I can fuck the world for bills and rent money God damn I got business (x3) Merchandisin' and digits All my life I want power and money Respect my kind I ride for Ces bless [Verse 2] OK I'm signed its time to set a couple records Yessir that pensive got em all defensive, So I guess I'll be the aggressor They so you only reap what you sow so I put in effort Got Brooklyn under my feet as I speak so I cook with pressure My brain is under the strain of the game got a loose connector Don't make me cover your kitchen with plastic and do the Dexter Your hopin', I'm chokin', my flow is so focused, my soul is so broken Now we rollin' slow motion singing [Hook] All my life I want power and money Respect my grind or die a death bloody Pray my name became as famous as kid cudi So I can fuck the world for bills and rent money God damn I got business (x3) Merchandisin' and digits All my life I want power and money Respect my grind my spit is a gold mine [Verse 3] I did my bid in obscurity, lay in wait till they hearing me Question whether they concern me, till they take a taste of my purity Ha There's nuthin new under the sun certainly Ha I'm numbing they gums and they tongue thoroughly Thought maybe they could play with me cause I'm friendly and neighborly After they hear this we'll see how serious that they takin' me Ha Not a matter don't money the money's makin' me HA Constant Energy struggles coming I take the street When I count to ten the retreat, we finna oust them when they speak KC MO where the block is rotten, don't be downwind of my peeps R double O K L Y N we out here mobbing to this beat R double O K L Y N come see me squadron we not peace [Hook] All my life I want power and money Respect my mind or die a death bloody Pray my name became as famous as kid cudi So I can fuck the world for bills and rent money God damn I got business (x3) Merchandisin' and digits All my life I want power and money Respect my mind or die your death bloody (Outro) Let it run lady Bobby had a dream Lennon had a dream Ubi have a dream
GKMC will probably change people's lives, if it already hasn't... he illustrates not joining gangs, not being an alcoholic, not doing drugs, and just being a good person all around. it's impacted me. i don't even smoke anymore. and i'm not afraid or ashamed to say that album helped with that.
Go to one of their shows man. They had a show out here in Sacramento and they stayed for a while after their set and people go to freestyle and rap for them its was badass
you realize what kendrick did right? that verse is gonna go down in history as the verse that started a new hip hop movement. he's telling all those guys to up their game, stop being lazy. you're gonna start hearing a lot of "diss" songs soon but it's all in fun; they're just beginning a new movement where they're all gonna start going their hardest. and kendrick has basically became the leader of this movement. he just cemented his spot in history last night.
Strange Music isn't about who's the best, its about the art. So all you haters can continue to be trapped in your own head. Live, love, laugh and rap music.
Ubi kills this song listen: My brain is under the strain of the game got a loose connector Don't make me cover your kitchen with plastic and do the Dexter Your hopin', I'm chokin', my flow is so focused, my soul is so broken Now we rollin' slow motion sing
