One of my favorite projects of all time and I'm glad you're getting to it. No skips for me and continues to inspire my own music and creative endeavors. Zay's lyrics aren't always easy to get on first listen but that's one of the fun parts about listening to him

[@bobthepoppop]

Yeah, I do enjoy lyrics that keep popping up with new things to notice with more listens

[@booch2k]

I’m one of his biggest fans and it still takes me a long time to understand him 😂 I don’t even get into his albums at first , but like you said !! The good thing about listening to him.. he’s layered , his music, his words .. his message .. ugh he’s brilliant

This album, and a Sun’s tirade, have both saved my life countless times; no exaggeration. Forever grateful for Isaiah

[@Davon85J]

Stone cold classic in my eyes. Shot You Down is both uplifting and depressing at the same time. One of my favorite hip hop songs of the last decade.

[@CamIsOnYouTube]

This warms my heart Bob. This album had such an effect during my teenage years

[@bobthepoppop]

I imagine it's an incredible album to have in your ears at that time in life

[@hackerOFpsp]

Glad you’re starting from the first project. Let’s goo 🔥

[@f7usion507]

Literally screamed when I saw this video in my notifications; my favorite artist 🫂

[@alecmatuszak4701]

Also, 'Guwop' is a nickname for rapper Gucci Mane, who was notorious for being in and out of jail all the time for doing some dumb shit. He has since turned his life around.

[@altryve6795]

bob i have waited decades. this is amazing thank you

[@schmuck.on.wheels]

Not very far into the video yet but I'm glad you're talking about his voice and vocal inflection. I think he's one of the more earnestly emotive rappers I've heard. That and his flow are his biggest strengths to me, he's a really good writer but the whole package expresses a lot more than the lyrics alone do, especially the more you revisit it (and I revisited it A LOT as a college freshman who was horribly depressed and getting into weed lol, so I have a lot of memories attached to it now). A lot of other hip-hop projects that have stronger qualities than this, but when it comes to just how much it resonates with me emotionally and how much beauty it contains in my eyes, I don't know if anything can match it.

[@traviswatson6268]

Well said

[@thetrashycan]

Love how raw this album is, this and the mixtape Pieces of a Kid are both amazing

I probably was the first to tell u about this album it was like a year ago. I love this album sm had this on my playlist when i went to Africa at 14 yrs old brings back sm memories 🙌🏾 it really matched the vibe of Africa

This is a great album. Probably his best work to date. I slept on Rashad for a while. My introduction to him was The Sun’s Tirade album. Absolutely loved that album. Immediately had to listen to this. Glad Isaiah Rashad is getting more attention. He definitely deserves it.

[@vshockgamingandmore7735]

So glad you listened to this! this record came out in my senior year of highschool and really helped me get through some rough times. Not as big on Isaiah's later work but this one really holds up well even after all these years.

Been hoping for this reaction for a while; this is one of my favourite albums oat. Funny hearing at the beginning the comments about the album being all over the place. I think the pacing and track order work really well for the project. I'd be interested to hear your take on it now you've listened to it.

[@bobthepoppop]

[@MrDaj1231]

NO WAY THIS IS ALL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@IMOK130]

Super stoked you’re digging into his work! Can’t believe this album is 10 already. Sometimes rapping is just talking shit, vibing out, and feeling yourself. Webbie Flow feels like he’s on that fun and manic braggadocio vibe, and I think it’s more about the feeling of the cadence and the energy he’s bringing, and less about lyrical analysis. Not sure if digging deeper into those lyrics would yield the return on investment some other tracks would. Just how I feel about certain songs in music in general. Music isn’t always about intellectualizing the lyricism, sometimes it’s more about feeling, vibing, and sensing the artist’s “shine”.

all the albums you mentioned in the beginning are soooo good

[@Rakkmatika]

LETS GO, Isiah makes music for the vibers man, he’s a mix of a little bit of chill rap shit and rapping about real shit about his life and stuff. This shit radiated with me in my early twenties man, really just felt like I connected with his sound and the shit he was rappin about: weed, hoes, and home troubles lol. I hope you enjoy it Bob 🔥

I AM HERE FOR THIS.

[@f7usion507]

This has been a long time coming

[@maerek]

this is the best thing i have come home to

[@slackstarfish8133]

The lyrics of Tranquility are probably the most interesting on the whole album. I believe the line “they kill for a blessing” could be interpreted that these figures have killed to benefit themselves, but also in Christianity, the death of Jesus is seen as gift, dying on the cross to wash away our sins. So when he says “thank god for the shooter” it’s because without the shooter, Jesus wouldn’t have died for our sins. He’s thanking God for creating the shooter, who in turn has blessed us. Him saying “they came from the heavens” is throwing out the question wether or not they are truly evil for their actions, if killing Jesus was actually a part of gods plan. There’s definitely more to take away from some of the lines but I love how he wrote that hook.

[@traviswatson6268]

This song is deep af, one of my all time favs from Zay
