    I recorded part 2 (tracks 8-14) and I wasnt catching any bars so i'm not gonna upload it 😂 It's pointless if half the reaction is me trying to hear Ka coherently enough to then try to interpret what he's saying . My only critique of this album: it's hard to HEAR Ka! It sounds like his voice is intentionally mixed under the beat

    My take on the album theme
    Bible Reference:
    I remember it being written that as Jesus was being crucified, there was another being put to death beside him. That man lived the life of a sinner and was being put to death for being a thief. During his last moments he repents in some form and Jesus stated that he would be welcomed to the kingdom of heaven.
    Moral:
    It’s never too late to change one’s path and seek forgiveness
    Ka’s reference:
    In the past Ka’s rapped about the street life. Violence, stealing and drugs. Perhaps this album is using that story as a analogy to explain he’s shifting his content to be more uplifting rather then feeding into some of the negative topics he mentioned on the first track

    Greatest conceptual/poetic/atmospheric/consistent/majestic/substance packed mc of ALL FKN TIME!!! 10 CLASSIC ALBUM RUN... not even counting Iron Works which is a great debut album for him.. but I do feel that he really came in to his own on Grief Pedigree.. since then he's dropped 10 straight Masterpiece albums with no skips.. iykyk
    Kaseem Ryan is the 🐐

    He has several bars referencing fire trucks. Thats because he's a firefighter in real life! BTW The smoke inhalation is a major reason for his low and raspy tone. And he feels that it actually gives character to his music!🔥🔥🔥🔥

      @@Cyeoable Yeah, my comment was definitely tongue in cheek. After repeated obsessive spins of this album, I have to say that I believe he was writing from the views of both of these thieves. Very clever. Lots of inner conflict here as in all of his albums, but he really may have pulled off the most conflicted work of his career with this one. This album is heavy. He speaks of the weaponization of Christianity against the people as much as he does his own spirituality and obvious struggles with faith. The album ends on such an uncomfortable note too. Some of his closer tracks such as I Love, Having Nothing, Off The Record, etc leave the listener with a dose of hope and redemption. True Holy Water has such an uneasy feel to it. He could have ended the album with the song Beautiful to leave us with something more easily digestible, but he obviously chose the track order the way it is for a reason. Man was a genius. Dark way to say goodbye though. I hope his beautiful soul is getting the rest it so badly needed. RIP.

      @@moussegarbonzo8352 Said it better than I ever could, the man was simply a genius and I don't think I'll ever stop listening to his work. Ka said himself "I rhyme for reason" there is surely a purpose to why he decided to end the album the way he did. But from what I gathered he knew his time was coming, and he left us with another masterpiece to digest for years to come. I'm sure as we revisit the album as life progresses we'll draw new meanings and messages from the man. RIP Ka 🙏

      @@Cyeoable You ain’t lying. I’ve been listening to this man since Grief Pedigree and still find new meanings in his works that I’ve had playing regularly for years. Layers. Nobody wrote like this man. His lyricism is up there with the likes of Gil Scott-Heron, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, etc. And his skills on the mic are rarely discussed, but he had tons of style in his delivery. Pure soul. What a major loss.
