    I've come around and now I think this is a truly amazing song... I think what people need to realize is without the blunt straightforwardness of the early verses, the final lines wouldn't have NEARLY the same impact. It's supposed to be straightforward... right until the end, when you're forced to reconsider the whole song. Really brilliant.

    Honestly i wish this song were less straightforward, and deeper,
    But if it was it wouldnt create the same sort of serious racial discussion and conversation that it is now worldwide,
    So at the same time im kinda glad its so blunt

    If I'd have asked what people wanted, they would have told me a faster horse.

    & @Brainfeeder ... I like you. End of "i" is also like an interlude/dream section like he's going thru downtown traffic to his next destination. I'm sure that type of transition will make sense when we hear what song is directly after "i".

    Honestly, I think your interpretation is the most spot on I've seen from someone.

    Just heard it today....been out the loop...saw Akala post it the other day but got busy and forgot to listen to it. anywhooo.....

    Been breathing hard and can feel the blood pumping through my veins. You know s----s EPIC when it has physiological affects on you. Bought to share the lyrics on my facebook after im done editing out bad words and such.

    Also, this song is hitting home because of the current events involving Muslims.

    I love the song and I think the message is super dope, but I always ask myself is it done entirely in vain?
    Like I live in south bronx, my family lives in brownsville (NYC) and none of the people in these neighborhoods is showing the song any love :emoji_slight_frown:
    I mean, I know GKMC was great, but I don't even remember that s--- getting bumped over here other than maybe Swimming Pools and b---- Dont k--- My Vibe.

    Same s--- with "i", lasted about a day on the radio, my friends say a week, but I only heard it myself the first day it dropped on Hot 97. (they've also admitted to only playing it for a short time atleast on that show with Rosenberg and the fat guy and the girl who stares at everyone like she wants to f--- them).
