10. Get Up On My Level



The closing track to Gates' mixtape, By Any Means. Although the hook has a gloating sense to it, Gates can't help but show a level of modesty in his verses. The high point of the track has to be the third verse. It's filled with disappointment towards his old record label and he addresses issues he has had with local rappers, "Came out of prison pursuing my dream now everybody mad at me/I ain't never try to diss y'all/All I ever did was tell the truth/Pray every one of y'all artists make it." Gates also raps, "Want every n----- that rap, from Louisiana to make it," as he sees that people think there can only be one mainstream artist from Louisiana but he does not want to be the only one to hold that title.

This was a great track to close the tape as Gates puts his heart on his sleeve once again and continues to engage us.

We don’t all hate Lord Jamar. His contributions to Hip Hop as part of Brand Nubian are major. Just because people heard of him in the last few years because of some Vlad YouTube Hot Takes doesn’t change that fact. Jamar is a 5 Percenter. Everything he says is pretty much how they see the world and 5 Percent ideology is a huge part of Hip Hop history, whether you agree with it or not.

Eminem, especially in recent years, has tried his best to show respect to the artists he grew up listening to. He’s spoken to them in interviews, spoken about them and you see it in the t-shirts he wears. He’s constantly wearing shirts that feature Golden Age Hip Hop album covers. Em also famously referenced years ago that he used to dress up in African apparel during Hip Hop’s Afrocentric phase, Brand Nubian being a major part of that phase. If it weren’t for his beef with Jamar, he would probably have on Brand Nubian t-shirts in public. He’s very much aware of their importance as a group overall. So while he dissed Jamar he still came back and confirmed that he was a guest in Hip Hop like Jamar had stated (the Crooked I/Em interview).

I don’t know why he doesn’t respond to some of these other rappers but I think on some level, because he’s a “Hip Hop Head”, he’s had to give these mixed responses to Jamar’s comments, dissing him but also confirming some of his comments. Almost hedging his bets, so that he doesn’t bow down to a legend but also agrees with him to some degree. I think Jamar’s impact means more to Em personally than Gucci or Rick. Em had to be a Brand Nubian fan growing up based on his age, knowledge of Hip Hop and the things he’s said in the past. So while Jamar doesn’t mean a whole lot to people nowadays, there was a time when he was one of the top artists in the industry and that was the same time that Em was an impressionable, young fan. Eminem grew up listening to Golden Era Hip Hop artists. They ultimately mean more to him than more recent artists.

I posted about this before--it was originally supposed to be called Loco. It's incredible. Sounds like something Dre 3K might have made.
