[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

"Wove a wonderful web, ghetto celeb, the legend of the Buddha in the rain, protected by the cobra head..." This is dope. It tells me PA is a true seeker of wisdom. Much respect for referencing this! In the Jain religion, the 23rd tirthankara is God Parswanath. Legend has it that this prince was to marry. Arriving at his bride's home he saw many animals ready to be sacrificed for the marriage feast. He immediately told his bride's father that he would not allow the slaughter of animals for his pleasure. And that all life must be respected, that man was no less or no more than the birds, the fish, the reptiles. All the animals revered him and would gather to listen to him speak of the unity among all creatures. During the heavy monsoons, even the king cobra rose above Parswanath and opened his hood to shield him from the rain.

[@words_on_a_screen]

Word!

[@FP1980]

That isn't wisdom, its just a story. If he referenced Lord of the Rings you wouldn't say he was a seeker of wisdom.

[@wadadlioutlaw357]

Frank Parker stop hating

[@FP1980]

Someone pointed out my shit on the internet, he must be a hater. Tell me how I'm wrong Wadadlioutlaw357

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

I'll tell you how you're wrong... Shakespeare, just a bunch of stories. No wisdom in them. Plato and the story of the Man in the Cave. Just some guys literally hanging out in a cave. Nothing more. Come on dude. Look up the word "allegory" and get back to us.

[@TheGoatBeats]

I try to keep myself updated but im an old man and i miss stuff , the universe & KZbin layer this in-front of me tonight. So strong this track/beat/lyrics/delivery. Thank you.

[@ventsislavtrapkov4279]

Have you listened to the whole album - "Anchovies". If you haven't i envy you, this album is...

[@LaurenMacarthy]

Yes❤❤❤

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

This has such a classic Wu-tang feel. Planet Asia must be an honorary member of the Wu.

[@njokuchijioke2533]

Thats cos Planet Asia rhyme like Rae...His pattern is similar to Rae's in so many ways

[@gaylordfocker7990]

[@soulweekender]

Asia needs to get a feature from Ghost face and Apollo needs to make am album with Pharoahe Monch next...

[@johncooney93]

soulweekender he had one from ghost already but definitely needs another

[@515wongsta]

soulweekender yoooooo. Apollo and Pharoahe would be ridiculous. How do we make this happen?!?

[@Shadeprint]

Twitter, if enough people demand it, it could easily happen.

[@k_tapes]

soulweekender PA already had a ghost feature "Real Niggaz". Search it up. Your welcome!

[@johncooney93]

KillahTapes'93 yeah i told him but he wouldnt listen haha

[@youngshozy]

From the sample to the flow, classic 🔥

[@brotherlogicrmf2199]

Deep shit right here, nowadays, so called hip hop (mumble rap) removed the underlying thought process from the music. The real is back.

[@Staalstraal]

Agree it's dope but wtf is ' mumble rap' ?

[@corrystevenson9293]

I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of this art 🖼 lyrics and tracks 🇲🇦🙌🏿

[@SAAVEDRAMAR]

Apollo Brown needs to do a album with Rakim

[@dicktracy926]

could u imagine?!?!???!!! or Masta Ace!

[@tonton6781]

damn would be krazy

[@Armando316]

I would love that. Apollo Brown’s beats would pull some great creativity and lyricism from Rakim.

[@pablo.theslumpgod]

whats the song that apollo brown sampled to make this masterpiece?

[@flow_matik]

(Roc Marciano & Ka) Was Needed On This Fly Beat .

[@kamickalo]

On that pimpish no drums shit, Roc and Ka got Apollo Brown switchin the style up... pop the mescaline in like a breathmint / benevolence / diamond elements, million dollar rhetoric... PA moves like a natural in these waters

[@benhopper7341]

The Aura Lyrics [Verse 1] Cali crook heist leader Evil eye glaze hunter Peace to my wave-runners Iceberg mafia made gunners My art spirals Burning up my arch rivals I'm part wizard and part rhino Overseas, my hundred dollar vinyl It's vital Lambo race, Miami space, scarred face High-speed chase It's dual-exhaust your whole face Halal tuna in Laguna Rumor is he used to be a shroomer How his mind is psychedelic with humor I'm an OG but still a junior I took an Uber to Laguna to meet with the Uma Sea bass garlic, we mash harlots Crash parties, white bitches sniffing lines screamin' "That's gnarly!" Coconut oil, my bitch is loyal Peanut-butter skin, cinnamon Shiva queen Exotic empress My nine platted circle My virtue is universal after curfew This is real life, nothing commercial Wove a wonderful web, ghetto celeb The legend of the Buddha in the rain Protected by the cobra head I want my king sun, wing chun, my kingdom Supreme blood, niggas better bring guns Niggas better bring guns Anchovies nigga

a lot of thanks to the whole Mello crew, you guys really bring that real hip hop to our ears

[@Realest1979]

Let me guess, the 30 dislikes are because there are no snares? GTFOH This is mellow, laid back real music

[@ishe728]

If it ain't 808 they hate

[@joojoobomb]

There's actually versions of most of the songs off this album online with snares added, and I don't want to admit it but they sound better

[@Kontrazt1990]

[@triniborn76]

He did! 12 reasons to die - the brown tape!

[@jayb6170]

Anthony G I got that. That's wasn't an original album. He just used ghost vocals from 12 reasons to die album he did with Adrain Younge and redid the beats. I want a real album not a remake album

[@paso583]

Jay B he already did

[@paso583]

Jay B tru it was a remake foreal

[@Niwde8411]

He said he didn't hear "12 Reasons To Die" when he made it but Ghost actually writing to his beats would be dope.

Planet Asia is too nice. Never heard a wack verse, like I've never heard wack AP beat.

Apollo Brown needs to make a song or better yet an album with MF Doom!

[@FromDaGroundUnda]

I like very much the whole album. Obviously, Apollo decided to change his style a little bit and shows us another side of his talent, because the album is almost entirely about samples without his usual drum pattern. I like the LP very much, beautifully flipped samples, strong lyrics from Planet Asia etc. Definitely now in Top 3 of my favorite Apollo Brown productions, after "Gas Mask" and "Trophies". You won't be dissapointed so check the album out!
