Soul Kahn had a dope verse on one of your raising the bars. It be dope to hear him spit another verse. Nan Feiro is always fire on track so I got him #2. Let's round it off with a return of Pat Stay to rapping for #3

[@RuinYourDayNow]

jeeeeeez

[@TheMuffinApe]

Ryders here!!!

[@ralphkeller6147]

Sooooo much depth, the aesthetic of where this cat is as an artist is beautiful. Filthy bars mixed with socio issues mixed styling on em mixed with intellect mixed with elevation. This is why I fuck with Illy yo. He should be on ur top 5 by the count of 10 hands down.

[@illmacTV]

Appreciate u Ralph

[@ralphkeller6147]

@@illmacTV Brotha I appreciate you, your bars literally make me wanna elevate myself and be a better man. "I met my higher self, he told me hustle harder, now I work for myself in the I don't give a fuck department" I literally use this as motivation on the daily. Thanks Ill for what u give us as an audience, I fr appreciate it bro, salute and keep at it.

[@peterkalos6271]

Shots fired!!! Diz probably screaming at his computer!! Fire ass flow

[@BrotherGilbert69]

That “world view as small as a cell phone screen” bar was incredible!

[@MrRafie82]

[@ChristopherBlokNL]

"Empathy requires love for yourself" you can never outbar the truth. Beautifull how there is so much truth within these bars... Amazing skill

[@illmacTV]

Thats a personal favorite line in this one. Glad u caught that bruh 🙌

[@ChristopherBlokNL]

@@illmacTV Yes bro. You have to go through lifelessons to understand why this bar is so true and beautifull! Thank you for sharing wisdom and truth. Really beautifull!

[@ChristopherBlokNL]

These lyrics are the sickest, realest, dopest I heared in a longtime.. Insanely much progress within the mentally expression and lifelessons. Appreciate the craft and skills !!!

[@poklar]

“The pressure that makes diamonds turns rocks into sand.” 🔥🔥

[@wilsonsclips_]

Love that line

[@Itsxmusic]

Bro I'm not sure I've ever heard a SoSo verse or bar from you

[@illmacTV]

Likewise my dude. Truly

[@LockheedLazar]

"I could ghostwrite records of your favorite songs, like John ghostwriting revelations for god" that shts one of the coldest things ive ever heard

[@absent72]

Holy shit. That's all I can think of to say after this. I'm surprised at the fact that I can still be surprised at this point. That's nothing but a sign of growth

[@illmacTV]

Thanks man, Thats damn near all I strive for at this point.

[@blimesbrixton4977]

The goosebumps came for me right around "Cowabunga"

[@putemintheboat6784]

illmac is a god of rap, top 10 my all time favorite ..

[@liambruh4678]

Comment for the algorithm

[@billdelfera8580]

Drake need to get this man to ghost write for him. This sound like some shit drake would say anyway

[@mebtches4561]

All these years I been following you I still get chills man keep this shit up!

[@Kevin-vk5tx]

Illmac has one of the most impressive rap careers of all time....

[@YoungGroupon]

This shit is too good

[@dbanks2561]

Word play off the charts!! Been listening to homie since way back in the day. Sad that the best music doesn't get the credit it deserves. Illmac is literally one of the best MC's out there hands down

[@OtobongJaya]

RTB11 vibes from this one

[@davidjoachims]

too many quotables, that was ALL the way heat... the captions were a nice touch 👌🏻 also I know WNTR is gonna be heat (bar) but take your time mayne cause truthfully i'm still bumping the last three 💎

[@wilsonsclips_]

The calmness Ill has these days it’s dope af

[@wilsonsclips_]

❤ bro. Sounds ridiculous but I used a portion of this on my Tik tok for an apex clip. It actually fit really well 😂

[@thekidd7]

The cadence is flawless..

[@wilsonsclips_]

@@thekidd7 agreed

[@hazekill420]

You are undescribably phenomenal. The epitome of lyricism in my opinion. It's hard to say who the best is, but nobody is better than you.

[@illmacTV]

thank you. never ending process trynna be better

[@markb4168]

Had to add another to this.....i mean, this hits so many points. So much for everyone to consider. May be the most honest shit ever. The cell phone being as big as your view of the world....arguing online being a cry for help for yourself while still throwin shots under belts....family, friends, strangers.... Taking shit personal or realizing its not even worth it...that line about old friends and no hate but beings the end of that story but well wishes...damn....i could touch on everything, the spending mad loot on cloths but reclusing in the ceib like retail is just a therapist...voices in my head like neighbors banging the ceiling like chill.....real shit, this is an honest easement, good bad and ugly of this craziness were in.... Death behind but utilize the pressure...Mental warfare...that line about like clicking amd you get more of that perspectives recommended to you, ending it with not wanting to disappear bit eager for a new chapter with hope........this whole jawn is art, forget hunter this is real art. I cant stop rewinding this..its comforting in a weird way, like i aint alone almost in what i see and so much unbreakable feelings in people who refuse to look deeper. Yo, this is crazy. I mean its so real. Unbiased and heartfelt. Relatable...to most anyone i would bet. Just damn. Respect. Appreciation. Goosebumps like Charlie sloth....mad respect. I been teetering on forget everything the past yr or so, this kind of opened my eyes to how someone else may feel in their own shell.....just really deep.....oh yeah the depth debts bar....so much to absorb in this. Ima be stuck listening for weeks at least, just fuels something in me to be better and productive. Good lookin out. This is a gift to anyone/anyone who really needs it.....oh and that amazon boxes got the living room like a shanty town, thats deep....real deep. Damn shame. I see this mom n pops closing left and right. I pray the masses wake up. ills on another level, but if mases could even understand a third of whats going on....damn that amazon shanty town just F'd my night up.

Why do I keep acting surprised when I listen to illmac

[@illmacTV]

same reason i do

[@rp627]

ooof so much self-expression, no wonder he had to leave battle rap. it's too constraining for that mind.

[@Nemesis20]

I'm from Nepal bro. Been a fan of yours since 2016 and this was yet another crazy performance. The lyricism is next level. Always flames. 💯🔥

[@kyroxk]

that was dope

[@3irdcity902]

My brother just told me last week that I kinda sounded like you on some of my new music, and it was the biggest compliment I've ever heard! You're a GOAT

[@bobbymacwatt7417]

im letting my tears flow for the first time in 8 yrs

[@JustinSerranDigital]

illmac always delivers

[@tismon]

3:52 The Purp smoker scheme has been on my mind for days now. its so good I think thats one of the benefits of not being a native speaker; listening to hiphop growing up, i had no idea what the songs were about. only song i understood somewhat was "My name is" by Em cause that was the one line every non english/US kid learns first in school(kinda smart) -but anyway, when you don't know what is being said, you can only focus on the phonetics; how it sounds, how it rhymes, and how the words ring off each other if that makes sense. That 4 bar segment does that so well, it just sounds so good. I think rappers, especially lyrical schmyrical rappers, forget that they are making music, and the main objective is that it *sounds* good Apologies for the wall of text, and thank you for the music

[@illmacTV]

Appreciate you listening fr. Yeah that parts a catchy one, I can totally understand what you're saying on the phonetics and base sounds of it ringing through regardless of meaning.

[@ayytee5600]

bro he snapped

[@katieburckhard7228]

The layers to this shit is bananas. Forever the next level.

[@illmacTV]

Thank you!

[@chefebben]
