I'm down. You have my email

Listened for the first time in a minute and it still sounds good

Origins of “Fayettenam” - I had wondered if Cole made that up lol

“A writer for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot with a knack for regional history wrote of how the spate of killings revived Fayetteville’s reputation as “a rough military town with a penchant for bizarre murders.” Fatalville, Fatalburg, and Fayettenam were among the nicknames that rueful locals had given their city, he wrote, citing the just-published book Homefront by the anthropology professor Catherine Lutz. She described Fayetteville as “a dumping ground for the problems of the American century of war and empire, where the wounds of war have pierced most deeply and are most visible,” including elevated levels of poverty, inequality, homelessness, racism, pollution, prostitution, and gender violence, as well as widespread d*** use, which many of Lutz’s interviewees, who came from all walks of life, blamed on “soldiers or veterans who bring narcotrafficking knowledge and contacts back with them from Asian and Latin American tours.”
Andrea Floyd’s mother, Penny Flitcraft, told a small-town Ohio paper that service in Delta Force had turned her son-in-law into a violent control freak. “His training,” she said, “was such that if you can’t control it, you kill it.”

Excerpt From
The Fort Bragg Cartel
Seth Harp

yeah i'm down. i like reviewing albums or making articles about why some projects are classics etc. could easily overtake pitchfork and complex if youre not that bias

FULL INTERVIEW OUT NOW

very refreshing interview

Holy f***

Had to take a break from this album, but we back

Seth Harp said Cole wrote a song about Fort Bragg and previewed it for him. I was hoping it would be on this album.

I don't think the way Cole raps about it has gotten that point across at all thus far. It's just been cornball Chiraq raps from a DARE officer who moonlights as a youth pastor.

F*** DO YOU KNOW MY PAIN

Poor thang too good

Turning to the Lord's ironic at a time
When these young niggas so violent, they'll let off at God in the flesh

Step

Jumping back into this this week, got some grinding to do and this is great grinding music

Hit the gas is not something I dooo

Thats f***ing dope. Free invitation for J Cole to get on his Lupe s*** and rap from the perspective of a tier one operator’s crack pipe anytime he chooses

For years, I felt like an only child with no one to play with
The older kids I watched run up the slides the wrong way or hang upside down from monkey bars
While I was looking from afar, just hopin' for that future day
When I'd be able to do the same s*** and now that day's hit
Mama done let me come outside, but now them slides are vacant

That's the Billy Woods version. Cole's version is gonna have an "in the s***" punchline and be on that "I support the troops but I don't support the war" type beat.

It’s a song from the perspective of that plucky black parachutist who couldn’t get into SF, wondering why his operator
friends Billy and Mark are mad at each other. It’s a metaphor for the beef

He ends up moderating a debate on if Don't Ask Don't Tell applies to pedophila.

quik stop..

I just have not listened to this anymore lol
