    pluto✰ where the opioids?

    Nov 24, 2015
    so yeah, I guess I'm a little behind :ohstop:

    but we baaaack

    ok, today's song is one of my favorite songs from the 'These Days' era. due to sampling issues it wasn't actually on the album but released as a freebie after the album dropped.

    anyways, Soul is so f---in good at just making beautiful music when he wants to. on WWSD he shows us he can literally rap over anything and still give us a masterpiece of a song

    sharp, witty line all over this. enjoy y'all.

    This needs to happen and Soul needs exposure.

    I'm not really sure what happened between the longterm mixtapes to control system (a pretty decent debut). If I had to take a wild guess, it'd be the loss of his girlfriend whom he dated for 9 years, Alori Joh.

    It happened a few months before the release of Control System and since then, he's seemed to have fallen off. I'll probably have some post CS material in here but I'd rather share what he was doing before. probably a really unpopular opinion but he was on track to be the best rapper in TDE if he'd kept going at that same rate.

    is it too late? probably. but it's still nice to reminisce on the past.

    Day 2: Longterm 2
    Day 3: Rapper s---
    Day 4: W.W.S.D.

    sorry guys, still love u



    even tho it features Kendrick and to say he shines is an understatement but soul definitely carries his own here. brilliant production, tons of great lines from the both of them.

    Q and Soul performed it live a couple months after oxymoron came out but that's all we get. We'll never get to hear the CDQ audio

    Admittedly I'm not too well-versed on Soul's catalog compared to Kendrick, Q & Jay Rock so this is a God-send, would appreciate if you add me to the mentions. Control System & Longterm Mentality were :emoji_fire::emoji_fire::emoji_fire:
