ILLMAC #3 | 1ABVE SESSIONS (CC on for lyrics)

[@Zmad724]

"Fight with my demons, I brought them all to the Octagon Special delivery like Octomon with my 7 brothers 6-6-7 one above the devil and federal judges They never loved us, we holding heat instead of grudges If you got a problem accepting others, You probably never suffered" 🔥🔥🔥

[@RuinYourDayNow]

THE GOAT HIMSELF

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

The Leonardo Da Vinci of his craft: pure genius.

[@TheRealWilliamBeats]

💯💯 Avo, how do I get some beats on these RYD or Die tapes?

[@liljackypaper]

The 🐐 is a way overused term but it applies here. No one in earth is fucking with Ill

[@andrewhuntley4022]

Sheeshhh he said "watch bullets switch flight patterns and fly backwards" 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@ThrowedGenji]

Hard to just quote a single bar when all the patterns stitched so seamlessly. Some favorite lines tho "walking the dark side of the moon shot by kubrick" "I'm not amused your not a muse to my amusement, I'm not inspired it's just some fire that got my fuse lit" 🔥🔥🔥

[@poopool_Q]

16k on this gem is criminal. Share this shit. Ultra fire emojis

[@vipset87]

Please battle again. There's so many new fans in the culture. They don't know, illmac. THEY DONT KNOW!!

[@colinthetroubadour]

That level of wordplay and rhyming......is at a level most cannot even come close to. I don't even know what to say, incredible.

[@konrTF]

"like Victor Von, I'm Dr Doom as smart as Hugo Strange, Strange - I'm also a boss like Hugo..." and everything surrounding it is fire. I love the "strange" part.

[@Nihaas]

Illmac's so good with that kind of stream-of-consciousness wordplay, where a word or phrase ends one scheme and sets up the next one. Makes the material always feel super dense and intricate

[@spamrobban]

@@Nihaas this was exactly my thought when he said "fight with my demons, i brought them all to the octagon/ special delivery like Octamom with my seven brothers, 667 one above the devil and federal judges".

[@ZooDeVille]

This is crazy mayne

[@clcbeats]

JFC The rhymes on this are outta this world, the level of skill and intelligence on display here is another pedigree!

[@dwaynoinsano5053]

“Acting like your life matters, define “matter”/ I control space, time, matter/ How I build my block up like a minecrafter/ Speaking of craft, mines mastered/ Go ahead throw a shot, watch bullets switch flight patterns and fly backwards” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@calculus8219]

This is real poetry. All the boxes ticked in perfect symmetry and harmony. ❤

[@MRKJ408]

It’s crazy to say I’ve been telling dudes about illmac for almost 20 years and he keeps getting better 👏

[@illmacTV]

Appreciate it homie. If you aint getting better at your craft, you wasting everybody time, most importantly your own, feel me? lol

Never doubt being a fan, Glory hallelujah , you got to it and did justice it like justice Stewart

[@roccoh12]

Hey Ill… I’m from the north. I know you’re moms (she used to work at the deli) and your pops. I used to watch you back on OnDemand. You were one of my favorite battle rappers of all time. But these one above and raising the bar sessions are easily my favorite shit you do. Much love from one north sider to another. Please keep doin your thing. The culture needs you and the north needs a representative like you. Salute!!!

[@marisolespino6798]

Illmac’s raps are legit lessons. Grab a pen & paper and take some notes 📝😂 absolute fire per usual 🔥🔥🔥

[@blakewatkins183]

Pure lyricism at its finest man. Jesus Christ.

[@liljackypaper]

Bro just made me hold that "bitter beer face" for four minutes straight 🔥🔥🔥 🐐🐐🐐

[@liljackypaper]

If I was a rapper and I heard this I would just quit rapping 💯

[@passionofthemics01]

Incredible! Lyricism is alive n well ladies n gentlemen

[@joshking2241]

Old school head from pre-sandpeople. NW rap is bananas, it’s been awesome to watch your continuous grind bro.

Amazing! Illmac been flying under the radar of the mainstream but with these consistent level ups you and 5 star entourage will soon become impossible to ignore. Glad I copped the Patreon sub. Grateful for the work you do. Avo and Chase both amazing artists investing in what we all know is something special. The dollars we can drop will never equal the value your music has given us over the years.

[@illmacTV]

I reallllly appreciate that more than you know Jason 🙏

[@troyadadestroya]

Welp, guess im gonna have to rewatch this one about 100 times to hopefully catch everything. Just when you think the bars reached its pinnacle

[@illmacTV]

captions on for the lyrics! lol

[@ThaFean57]

I peeped the Hakeem references.. I still listen to that shit to this day

[@ebinflo102]

Keep doing it Mac! One of the undisputed heavy weights of this battle rap ish, and one of the very few that can bring that same level of penmanship and craft to the beat as well. Force to be reckoned with, and we’re lucky to have you still doing it at new & improved levels every time. Your work is appreciated brother! 🐐

[@illmacTV]

Definitely appreciate the motivation 🙌. Got more in the chamber. In my RAP bag right now

[@paulsample4064]

That was as epic as I have come to expect from the 667.

[@IndreadColde]

Not heard you do a beat like this before. "Not a muse to my amusement" "Dime Baggers/High Standards" Hot fire as always

[@kmcconstruction1804]

I been following this guy since his scribble run and fighting alcohol addicition the whole time. Iam currently sitting in a hospital relearning how to walk with a fractured pelvis and multiple fractured vertebrae from a drunk driving accident where I should of died. Those first couple bars really hit me hard Mac. Might Remember as deeze on gtchat days. Just want to say I'll never touch that al gohul again. This was fire as usual by one of the most under rated emcees ever. Stay fire

[@illmacTV]

Damn bro, Im sorry to hear that but glad ur good. Rest and heal up. Next phase of life is the level up 🫡

[@chasewitherspoon4435]

Words cannot express how much I love and respect your music man, seriously in my top 10 currently. I found your on team backpack Years ago on that A-1, Jeff Turner joint and that verse, goddamn. It wasn't until about 6 months ago that I did a HEAVY dive and I've been hooked since. Some days at work it's hours of illy no skips. Mad respect from eugene Oregon homie. Salute
