let's make fun of the facebook comment section for this




"Complex needs to stay out of politics. It seems their journalists report on whoever is popular at the moment and are not educated at all when it comes to what's happening in politics."

this was great, took two sittings to finish this, but it really felt like a mini documentary. very immersive.

you put the last year of his life into perspective really well, from him recording with multiple entourages in the studio, to getting shot, to the paranoia. the tension you built when the black SUV rolled up in the beginning was a really good way to build that story backwards. and you did a good job of filling in the emotions in between, like with the "walking the same day I got shot" reference, the fact that twist my fingaz dropped just a month after the shooting and the casual mention of said shooting. and the paranoia post-shooting is painted well through your retelling of the conversations as well as the break down of the first half of the album. reading that gave me the sense that the shooting still affects him adversely, but he's done an admiral job at keeping things moving. which is crazy considering he doesn't even have a clue who did it (unlike 2pac or 50 cent).

and i liked how you ended it too, with the last two paragraphs grounding him as a human being.

good job man, i hope you get more opportunities like this.
