What the artist means
This track keeps up to the rapper's tradition of releasing a recap for the rap year in review, this is the latest edition and it feels like the most aggressive yet. He starts off the track by calling out a slew of happenings in hip-hop, things like the Kobe Bryant death which started the year on a sober note as the Black Mamba was a major influence to the rappers we all know and love today. He then dedicates a few bars to the late Pop Smoke who had a monster year by any artiste's standards, if only he could be alive to reap the fruits of his grind. He spits some razor-sharp bars about the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting incident which has divided the genre, he makes light of it, and largely desists from taking a side. He dedicates a bar or two to the Jada, August, and Will Smith entanglement saga, he doesn't mince words on this note. The track has a few more references and closes out with a tribute to Andre Harrell who played a major part in bringing up some of the biggest legends in hip-hop today.
What the song means to me
The track is a really long one totaling at a staggering thirteen minutes and fifty seconds, it has more bars than I could analyze even if I was Uncle Murda's first cousin. However, the track is layered in a depth which has become a rarity in hip-hop today, the best part being that it was delivered with startling precision. The beat is a staple in hip-hop, it is a legendary cut indeed and this nearly brought a tear to my eye, gosh 2020 was tough. The track is way better than excellent, it's a flex performed by a rapper that knows just how powerful he is. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
