Best video you’ve dropped so far. Lots of people do reviews, but you do your due diligence to decipher and actually speak about the culture (with charisma) and the foundation of it. Kudos professor!
@@EWeis33 Honor is my personal favourite but Hermit is sooo good too. I second this as well, would love for him to do these, or at least one of them. They are worth it!
Now, this talk wants me to be back in college. But 57 years old now, so nothing left but complementing you on this wonderful breakdown of Mach Hommy's F.Y.I.
I absolutely love when my favorite rappers make these connections! I think you would really enjoy breaking down a Billy Woods/ Armand Hammer Project. They are loaded with many leftist, obscure, & philosophical references! I would start with Billy Woods- History Will Absolve Me
Yep. I watch all your shit, Prof. Hope you get better. And THANK YOU, Trump is no where NEAR our worst president. Reagan was literally our worst president of all time.
One of the best videos man. I love your work and you teach me so much professor. You’re one of the best out there, and I appreciate your take and breakdown of these lines, your knowledge knows no bounds! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you for the book references too! I will be reading ALOT this year 🤝 my only critique is that the song Kinglish has muchhhh more depth than you gave it credit for.
Been a fan of your videos for a couple months (never been compelled to comment before!) but this is imo your best yet. The one I’m gonna link people to to say watch this guy’s videos. Insightful, passionate, everything I love about you at its best man!!! Get well soon Professor.
Eye of the storm. Thanks for doing this! It’s an honor to listen to you decipher and provide context to his music. Giving your audience a deeper understanding and appreciation for something they already find fantastic!
Also, I think u should maybe check out Bullet Luh by Mach if you haven't... Idk if it's less misogynistic but I feel it is more expressive of his appreciation for the fairer sex à la Marie from PFH... IDK🙃
I've really enjoyed these reviews, the depth of education I'm trying to pick up here is incredible. I'd just finished your review of billy woods - aethiopes and am working to unpack all of that. Easily one of the best channels on youtube
"...a slight call-back, I believe, to H. Rap Brown, _who I'll be discussing at great length..."_ 👍🥰 Yes! He needs to be talked about more... You said "do a victory lap in the comment section if you heard of him" - I'm doing a lap just off hearing that Mach put you on to him! One of the greatest speakers, ever... such an _incredibly_ brave man. His book sits next to The Autobiography of Malcolm X on my bookshelves. I won't clown you for not knowing about him lol I just look forward to hearing you speak on his legacy! His speeches are.... smh 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WOW. Several available on YT. [BTW... from H. Rap Brown to Robert Johnson - I love it. This is why your Mach vids are my favorite... and you'd dig my playlists lol] P.S. His fellow Trumpers around the country are banning (and burning) books on people like Ruby Bridges & Rosa Parks, and Kanye wants to get rid of "Black History Month"?!? You can't just focus on the future when people don't yet know the history; much of the reason we don't progress is because people are kept ignorant of the past. P.P.S. Trumpism is just Reaganism with the pretty packaging ripped off... and thankfully, Drumpf was far more incompetent than Reagan, and had only half as long to finish what Reagan & the GOP started 40 yrs ago.
Just catching your video of this now. On the H. Rap Brown/Rapper’s Delight issue: Big Bank Hank ended up taking those rhymes from Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers. It’s a side rabbit hole to check out if anyone’s interested in researching. Turns out Caz might’ve taken those lines from Brown?
I feel like you speak too positively about the white wealthy experience under Reagan in the 80s. While you clearly acknowledge the privilege of your situation, I feel like everyone suffers under racism, despite the fact that some suffer far more than others.

I agree this review was very very good. Thanks for this one.!!!
mach hommy is an amazing lyricist.. glad you're digging his discography professor. Enjoy your weekend.
Do an old Ka album hermit, honor, descendants, I promise you will not be disappointed.
cosign this
Honor was the first one I heard and it blew me away, Hermit is probably my fave
@@EWeis33 Honor is my personal favourite but Hermit is sooo good too. I second this as well, would love for him to do these, or at least one of them. They are worth it!
He did atleast cover 'A Martyr's Reward' so he does have a vested interest in Ka as a artist... Imma also hop on this train🙏🏾

Just have to say this when you said it (12:02): trust me prof, we are not here for just the hip-hop. Get well soon btw!
Yep. I watch all your shit, Prof. Hope you get better.

Class is in session, Great review!

If you go back and listen to Westside Gunn's - Flyest N**** in Charge. You'll see how much of an early visionary he was.
23:52 we not gon let that Arthur reference go unnoticed
All I can really say is holy shit… thank you for the knowledge and this video.
Best review yet. Lots to learn.
You are the only white man I would allow to teach me more about my own people. I love you Prof
I was highly anticipating this review and you did not disappoint! I knew you'd go deep into it
Eye of the storm. Thanks for doing this! It’s an honor to listen to you decipher and provide context to his music. Giving your audience a deeper understanding and appreciation for something they already find fantastic!
Love the review so far... I'm actually busy picking up reading again so thank you for the book list 🙏🏾
Also, I think u should maybe check out Bullet Luh by Mach if you haven't... Idk if it's less misogynistic but I feel it is more expressive of his appreciation for the fairer sex à la Marie from PFH... IDK🙃
I always love your videos. Thanks for the recommendations! Update: I just ordered a copy of the H. Rap Brown book.
Thank you professor, accurately adding commentary to cryptic conscious rap, plz continue to make content like this 🙏🏾.
Every break down u do is like taking a class, and I appreciate it. Learned a lot and already knew the album beforehand.
I think it got taken down but there's a video for solo dolo where he's not wearing the mask, feels like seeing Zev Love X before he became DOOM.
Professor this is the most informative review you’ve dropped. This video is incredible on many levels. Thank you
I hate when brothers say they don’t read!
Great lecture again professor!
I've really enjoyed these reviews, the depth of education I'm trying to pick up here is incredible.
I'd just finished your review of billy woods - aethiopes and am working to unpack all of that. Easily one of the best channels on youtube
i would literally go to school if professor Skye was my teacher
"...a slight call-back, I believe, to H. Rap Brown, _who I'll be discussing at great length..."_ 👍🥰 Yes! He needs to be talked about more...
You said "do a victory lap in the comment section if you heard of him" - I'm doing a lap just off hearing that Mach put you on to him!

Lalibela is in Ethiopia. Black History starts in Nubia. Sudan,Ethiopia, South Egypt, Eritrea.
Yes! My dad is Nubian, I become more proud of that fact everyday!
Thanks for the great review! Do you take requests? Would love your take on Noname’s Telefone.
Wow, what an awesome review! I feel like I’d listened to the album when I actually haven’t.
Does a Mach Hommy song have eyes? Yes, ever.
33:36 professor skye on his communist arc i see (not complaining)
you are gonna like the G.A.T.
cannot wait
I have some physical copies making physical copies is so awesome
Professor, listen to Ghais Guevara
Great video, What other books should be within my library? Also are you going to buy Mach-Hommy & Conductor Williams latest four track EP for $222?
can you please link where you got the paperback for h rap brown?
Sorry for kinda ignoring the review with my comment but have you recovered? If not hope you're doing great chief
Has professor explained why he doesn't swear?
Just catching your video of this now. On the H. Rap Brown/Rapper’s Delight issue: Big Bank Hank ended up taking those rhymes from Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers. It’s a side rabbit hole to check out if anyone’s interested in researching.
Turns out Caz might’ve taken those lines from Brown?
Professor, do you listen to estee nack at all? Some solid work, tap in
I hope mach releases the supertape eps on streaming since you liked fyi a lot.
The G.A.T. is the splash
are you going to do a video on jeen-yuhs?
Eventually, probably not episode by episode. But who knows. I sure enjoyed it.
You should listen to Oliver’s new album Cowboy Tears!
bet money he’s out there watching this rn
Please review Beach House's Once Twice Melody!
I love Ronald Reagan and Mach-Hommy. I am also racist
Your offhand comment denigrating the Steve Jobs quote is extremely telling, you appear to have missed the entire context.
I feel like you speak too positively about the white wealthy experience under Reagan in the 80s. While you clearly acknowledge the privilege of your situation, I feel like everyone suffers under racism, despite the fact that some suffer far more than others.
