Word! TOO MUCH TRUE LYRICISM ON ONE TRACK

[@shameisnotwelcomehere3069]

Finally, rappers with knowledge, conviction and TRUE TALENT. That boy said, "Things start to fall apart like Chinua Achebe". "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe is one of my favorite short stories. I've written so many papers about this one story. It's a very compelling tale and It's amazing that he not only found a way to rhyme with "Chinua Achebe" but he actually used the title of the story to reveal a message that was related to his verse in the song. As an English major, I can appreciate their knowledge and use of literary devices to convey such a controversial message. That last verse was straight 🔥🔥 💯👌

[@LockDogg38]

Also an obvious callback to the fact that Black Thought is on the track and that one of the best album of The Legendary Roots Crew is named "Things Fall Apart" from Chinua Achebe's book

but don't miss the other levels. Chinua Achebe was Nigerian. Tobe Nwigwe is a very proud Nigerian American. "Things Fall Apart" was also the name of the third Roots album, referencing the Chinua Achebe novel. So that line is hitting on like 18 levels that I can recognize and probably another 132 I cannot.
