This verse from 3000 is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. As if we don’t already know what he can do, he comes along (awhile back admittedly) with this sh*t and makes you feel all kinds of stuff. I suggest that anyone who’s having a hard time accessing any sorts of feelings at the moment give it a listen and I caution anyone who’s having a hard time with over-feeling at the moment against doing so. Also he takes that sh*t everywhere, mum to best friend to significant other to kid, so there’s no reprieve ya know? and just when you think you have a facet of your life that’s messy but more or less dead to the pain figured out, he opens that sh*t right back up.
3000 shares a surprising amount of personal stuff here but remains so dignified and self-contained in the process that you leave empathizing with the dude but without any of the icky feelings that sometimes accompany being party to oversharing. He’s a goddamn magician. You even give him his space with some of the sh*t, like man I don’t know exactly how that feels but I can still respect it. I’ve listened to his part so many times I’ve lost count and I don’t think I’ve ever listened to tip's all the way through once. That’s no disrespect to t.i. he’s great, but even he knows he got bodied here. Also the hook sucks and the beat is average at best so 3000 had to climb a f**king mountain to make this sh*t memorable. I guess that makes tip his Sherpa.
