    that was great

    wish there was more of a focus on the parts about roscoe and his kids (aka visuals about roscoe or his kids) but still, great video

    f--- Cancer and King Troup should be way more topical than they are.

    The songs. They have thesis statements and zero follow up.

    Also, does Thug really only eat candy/fried chicken and get nutrient injections from a doctor? He's an actually Looney Tune.

    agree bout F Cancer, regardless of thug's reasoning that its just a song to help boosie celebrate life or w/e

    wholeheartedly disagree about King TROUP. 1000%. it's extremely poignant at times, and following his train of thought is extremely rewarding. The entire first verse starts off like you said -- a seemingly blatant rejection of the song's thesis, but by like the 8th bar he's talking about being the best dad possible to his kids, and suddenly realizes one of his closest friends is rotting in prison ("lil roscoe he sleep wear its nasty"). And he connects that back to how roscoe grew up without a father.

    and all this rumination leads to the "stop the killing/we get millions" bridge, which is a direct callback to the songs thesis (troup, although it wasnt confirmed to be g--- related, was shot like 19 times at a gas station (hence where the video is filmed, i think)).

    like, this entire dedication to troup is based around the idea that it has thug re-evaluating his life from his friends, to his kids, and (in the 2nd verse) to settling down with his fiancee ("i need commitment, where ya at?").

    so yeah, definitely dont agree about king TROUP.

    Cool vid although it could have been better. This track just keeps on getting better and better. @Narsh thats really thoughtful that they recorded it a gas station, didnt know that. Is t the exact same gas station troup was killed?
