Maybe from his own personal aspirations of being in the spotlight but I guarantee he is still writing songs for big names. Although I don’t know for a solid fact, he did write a bunch of Mac Millers songs and a few others, I can’t imagine he’s not doing the same now for other artists. Dudes an underground legend.
Honestly, this is one of the most complete Hip Hop tracks ever. Storytelling, boasting, honesty, vulnerability, rhyme schemes, metaphors, similes, wordplay. This one track encompasses everything that makes up a good lyricist in rap.
"I wrote my poems so I could stay in my zone Thinking: Why go to church if I feel God in my home? Maybe, I write because I'm feeling odd in my bones And when I exorcise this demon I'm not thinking of those" .. Gaaaawd dayuuumm
An amazing lyricist that's not only unique in that he's a husky bearded white dude, but also that he talks about a lot of things other than sex and shit, such a nice break from that kind of stuff. This guy's a real dude.
Yeah because Rhymesayers hasn't existed in some form since the 80's and literally been everything this guy has done in a slightly more punk format not really to you, but to everyone acting like lyracists died, like what you forget about aes, atmosphere, eyedea, el-p, cage, etc,.? fuck shag and wild bill was a dope collab from what 2013?
haha... no need to over analyze now, how long have you’ve been listening to jw?... because if you’ve been listening since myspace days & the 404 forums then what he’s saying should make more sense trust me this guy is not an “egocentric narcissist” not even the slightest Sassy The Sasquatch
Sassy The Sasquatch True, he does always go on about how he's better than everyone else and yes it is annoying, but the beats are still great and the flow is smooth
Appearances deceive, and much. I entered the video thinking that, because of its appearance, it would be a rock cover. I love Hip Hop, and I love that there are artists who represent it as well as Jonwayne. It has left me speechless, a clear example that appearances deceive. Once again, it is shown that good Hip Hop is represented and backed by a good message and a good handwriting, without having to follow the Hip Hop fashion canons. I repeat, a lot of respect to artists like him. PEACE
Somehow landed on the name Jonwayne, heard black magic and let autoplay handle everything else. 25 songs in, while cleaning my office, I took a glance and saw it was a white husky Gandalf spit.. was not dissapointed.

I met his sister in high school he was an alumni at Sonora high school. Like he said he was walking the streets of LA HABRA on the map fuck yeah Jon that's fucking dope I hope I get to rap with him one day it would be an honor rapping with him
Used to rock my kid to sleep to this song, she will be 7 in March...Still listening today!
Who else needs Rap Album Three? We're starving over here!

I am such a huge fan of this dude after listening to a few of his songs that I want a new album ASAP! 🔥🔥
You can't rush art mane. Let it come when it comes.
@@brye-bread But its been 4 years plus Hahahaha
Hope he's doing alright. I have done no research. Don't wanna be disappointed. Huge fan for many years
I would like to see Jonwayne do an npr tiny desk concert.

Indeed
he retired, yo
we're gonna need a bigger desk..
Maybe from his own personal aspirations of being in the spotlight but I guarantee he is still writing songs for big names. Although I don’t know for a solid fact, he did write a bunch of Mac Millers songs and a few others, I can’t imagine he’s not doing the same now for other artists. Dudes an underground legend.
The best placed cowbell on any beat god damn.
I was thinking the same thing
Damn, when you pointed it out it became so much better
a1 axel yes
that and also the weird phone sound on the 4th beat. these two move this song
Needs more cowbell
This song effortlessly gives off past, present, and future hip-hop vibes

"2006---Dilla died and I was living off his gift"

Truth!!!💯💯

My man Dibia$E did this beat.
+EBAR the Artist (EBAR) Shoutout Dibia$e. this joint is crazy
Woah, crazy. If I had to guess I'd say it was a Jonwayne beat.
Do you know the name of the instrumental ? Can i find it on youtube ?
Grög Vicious nah DB gave it to him in person
jonwayne the only dude in hip hop that can get away with rockin a dressing gown and moses getaway boots
moses getaway boots.
jonwayne does it better
Yipsnake you were the one who replied to my comment... no pissing contest, it was a light hearted joke.. moron
Now you two mention it Verb T, Jonwayne would be a mad collab
@@pnoplyr14 moses getaway boots. omg...
Dear Jonwayne. Please make another album. I'm waiting... - Hip Hop
Best Song Ever...Aside from passing fancies and the rest of a phenomenal catalog that people have been sleeping on for too long.
Its almost like you can feel the writer become a poet, big props to this guy. This is what hiphop needs.
i was intensely anticipating this album, and...he just...brought it.
he fucking brought it.
williehopscotch amen
Jonwayne's new album is a classic. I can't stop playing it. It's so refreshing hearing a real lyrcist & a dope beat 🔥🔥🔥
Jayson Watts
Oui, sans "Autotune" & des boîtes à rythmes entendus partout, sans des arrangements à la truelle.
Literally no rapper says that. I've heard nigga often though.
An amazing lyricist that's not only unique in that he's a husky bearded white dude, but also that he talks about a lot of things other than sex and shit, such a nice break from that kind of stuff. This guy's a real dude.
Yeah because Rhymesayers hasn't existed in some form since the 80's and literally been everything this guy has done in a slightly more punk format
not really to you, but to everyone acting like lyracists died, like what you forget about aes, atmosphere, eyedea, el-p, cage, etc,.? fuck shag and wild bill was a dope collab from what 2013?
A classic? Who knows. TPAB is.
'2006 Dilla died and I was living off his gift' Straight Fiyah!!!!

Sassy The Sasquatch True, he does always go on about how he's better than everyone else and yes it is annoying, but the beats are still great and the flow is smooth

For those that don't know, Jon has a youtube channel where he makes beats. It's awesome!
Name ?

Jonwayne, february 2018, still standing strong! Best lyrical poet in the scene. Keep it real
I come back to this song every single week. This might be one of the best songs to exist.

Dude looks like he'd call you out in a WoW raid for your DPS not being high enough
He'd probably write a whole verse about it.
I dunno why but this made me laugh too hard. Almost exactly what I thought
Then lyrically assasinate the whole server
Haha made my day good old memories... Getting kicked cause your dps is tp low although you are a holy priest with the missleading name shadowpriest 🤣

I miss your music so fucking much man. I hope that fire continues to burn one day. You're an amazing artist
Absolute masterpiece.
Jonwayne and Dibiase keeping it real like always, gotta love it.
He says a lot of real shit in this.
Man, I can't believe I'm just now finding about Jonwayne!!!
but words cant describe this man damn
That last verse was so deep, it popped every cherry in the world.
IMA FEAST SO REST IN PEACE, dude come back, you was killing it
Im on the same path...standing alone...determine to win
Verse 1]
1996-
It was raining, drops were cutting through the mist
I'm in the kitchen like a good kid:
Hot chocolate
Drawing booklets for profit
Grandad had some quarters for my project
Ever since I had an honest audience I swore to God that I would body shit
Life is too short for modesty
I was telling myself, upon that balcony
My legs went through the bars steady swinging 'til the splinters came
Im aiming for the top
Whenever I'm dropping, mom even the mockups are hot
This shit is better than friendship;
They never understand when I begin shit
I walk the lower field until the bell hits the wind
It's clicking like these groups of little kids when they get it in
But I don't need to play pretend when I play to win
Word to Benjamins
Word to everything, these words are everything
Or maybe words are just my only thing
(Alright, that was it)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
2006-
Dilla died and I was living off his gift
I just heard Donuts at the Borders on the corner in La Habra I was over all these people tryna tell me my aspirations were goners
I wrote my poems so I could stay in my zone
Thinking: Why go to church if I feel God in my home?
Maybe, I write because I'm feeling odd in my bones
And when I exorcise this demon I'm not thinking of those
It's 2010-
I got some shows and I'm finally making friends
I'm on the cusp of something big and I can feel it
Everything has been building up to this moment-I can steal it
I'm just a aphid in the crib speaking major
Lip service paid for
Showed the whole city what this Wayniac is great for
Word to the Kev machine
Word to everything, these words are everything
Or maybe words are just my only thing.
Verse 3]
2016-
I spent the last 2 years fucking up big dreams
You never know what you want until you get it
The future ain't set sometimes it's the little things winning over these checks
I had the chance to sell out and I told them 'bout
How words are everything, much bigger than gold clouds
If I'm a shell of a man my words are empty
Ringing through the halls of my bones for near a century
Don't lecture me
I see that selling soul get better things
And maybe its just fear that's keeping me from better scenes
But I'm here, one piece
An uncle and a beast
When they hit play they know that 'imma feast so rest in peace
[Verse 4]
Married to the game, but it's complicated
I know just how it works; if I was smart I'd get hella cake
Like if I throw a hook upon this beat it'd get hella plays
If I just said yes to all these fools I'd get hella paid
If only I could keep my mouth shut, no enemies
But I don't see the point in knowing truth and not set it free
I can't both express myself, then play the game
If you just can't handle what I say, then don't say my name
Keep it out your mouth like a foot
Rappers babble like a young adult book
Look, my trifocal looks could kill some dumb occult crooks
Burn a skull, cook
If I come out retirement, I got em all shook
Let me shake em then
Paperless, stirring up emotions with my paper pen
If you getting this for free, what you pay for then?
Word to friends and them
Word to everything
But when I die, I know my words will be my only thing
Need this tune to think, thanks brother.
I love the moment you hear an artist for the first time and you instantly know it's fire. Can't wait to dig into his catalog.

Word to friends and them
Word to everything
But when I die, I know my words will be my only thing
Ye everybody can C/P from Genius

has been on repeat for weeks
When a rapper exposes the industry nonchalantly
This man bears his soul in everything that he writes.. A true legend.
"2006.. Dilla died and I was living of his gift" ... Homage 👍🔥
JONWAYNE IS EVERYTHING
this mAKES MEh happy
Beautiful hip hop, hope he keeps doing his thing. This is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time ty jonwayne
I need more art like dis!
“Dilla died and I was living off his gift” fuck felt
Saw him live in Portland, ME in 2017. Exactly like his album depicts, the man is a tortured & beautifully talented soul.
I am addicted to keep comming back here...
I think he will become one of the all time greats. He just gives me the vibes when I hear it
Nothing still comes close. Fucking timeless fr.
Here my dudes we have a certified gated community classic

Lyrics:
1996
It was raining, drops were cutting through the mist
I'm in the kitchen like a good kid:
Hot chocolate
Drawing booklets for profit
Grandad had some quarters for my project
Ever since I had an honest audience I swore to God that I would body shit
Life is too short for modesty
I was telling myself, upon that balcony
My legs went through the bars steady swinging 'til the splinters came
Im aiming for the top
Whenever I'm dropping, mom even the mockups are hot
This shit is better than friendship;
They never understand when I begin shit
I walk the lower field until the bell hits the wind
It's clicking like these groups of little kids when they get it in
But I don't need to play pretend when I play to win
Word to Benjamins
Word to everything, these words are everything
Or maybe words are just my only thing
2006
Dilla died and I was living off his gift
I just heard Donuts at the Borders on the corner in La Habra I was over all these people tryna tell me my aspirations were goners
I wrote my poems so I could stay in my zone
Thinking: Why go to church if I feel God in my home?
Maybe, I write because I'm feeling odd in my bones
And when I exorcise this demon I'm not thinking of those
It's 2010
I got some shows and I'm finally making friends
I'm on the cusp of something big and I can feel it
Everything has been building up to this moment-I can steal it
I'm just a aphid in the crib speaking major
Lip service paid for
Showed the whole city what this Wayniac is great for
Word to the Kev machine
Word to everything, these words are everything
Or maybe words are just my only thing
2016
I spent the last 2 years fucking up big dreams
You never know what you want until you get it
The future ain't set sometimes it's the little things winning over these checks
I had the chance to sell out and I told them 'bout
How words are everything, much bigger than gold clouds
If I'm a shell of a man my words are empty
Ringing through the halls of my bones for near a century
Don't lecture me
I see that selling soul get better things
And maybe its just fear that's keeping me from better scenes
But i'm here, one piece
An uncle and a beast
When they hit play they know that 'imma feast so rest in peace
Married to the game, but it's complicated
I know just how it works; if I was smart I'd get hella cake
Like if I throw a hook upon this beat it'd get hella plays
If I just said yes to all these fools I'd get hella paid
If only I could keep my mouth shut: no enemies
But I don't see the point in knowing truth and not set it free
I can't both express myself then play the game
If you just can't handle what I say then don't say my name
Keep it out your mouth like a foot
Rappers babble like a young adult book
Look, my trifocal looks could kill some dumb occult crooks
Burn a skull, cook
If I come out retirement, I got em all shook
Let me shake em then
Paperless, stirring up emotions with my paper pen
If you getting this for free what you pay for then?
Word to friends and them
Word to everything
But when I die, I know my words will be my only thing
Marcos 1:15 dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo; arrependei-vos e crede no evangelho. 💙✨
