Also, Bun B's verse from just over a year ago (Thanks Spitz and minuteforce): Well, it's our life and it's our time And it's our place and it's our choice These are all our thoughts with our views Out of our minds with our voice It's our oath to this generation They call it fake / we call it fate (You see) they don't like us / or understand us And they just hope we all fall away But we won't stop / and we won't quit And we won't settle for what they give And we'll keep on standin' / keep on fightin' No backin' down / that's how we're livin' Our minds are made up / and we're focused No more believin' what we've been told 'Cause our bags are packed / there's no turnin' back We walk alone on these winding roads

My take on Ryu's Skin to Bone verse: You can't stop it All you can do is watch it while it's happenin like a tragic accident Rappers go on get your coffins Skin to bone The higher I'm a bid for this rap shit My legacy's set in stone, for sho, no asterisk Concept: immaculate Start to finish I'm Lil' Wayne's dentist Look at the platinum plaques I'm getting (WOOOO!) It's not an accident, you flew off the roof You said you was fly, so I just wanted to see if it's true I got the juice like GQ, but I wish it was Grey Goose Let it mix with my prescriptions and I'm turning into Keith Moon A T2 Terminator: Demi-God Jesus Fort Minor: We Major; let's take it to phase II The mission isn't finished yet I've been on the internet Hearin fans talking, maybe we should consider that Not really sure on the 5th line, TBH. *Edit* I'm also in the "fuck even TRYING to figure out this one" boat for Cody's verse. I can tell the most recently posted version is still a long way from correct...but no. Just no.
This is super incorrect but here goes. This is that post apocal- post pac ghost on the block Supposed to be close but I swear right now they close to benox Put the gold in the pot Put 'em on, bring 'em on, nigga, hope that they drop But I bomb on them all On with they the bongs Instead be hopin' I pop You open a knot You openly admittin' you not Your openly be spitin' shit you, don't be living a lie You are be giveth givin' these women a reason to start I'm like the Tyson Bison reliving the villainous plot My vision of rap My vision is Kai Killer Korat Vespa Feel us, so who real or realest enough I'm callin' your bluff I'll squander all your borders you trust You won't be carrying your orders; automatically doth I'm more than adequately rushed Plus stromatically tough truss the elephant tusk, trunk hangs over the top, punk Who want it?

Picture Mike posted on Twitter a few days ago: Ummm, where's the parental advisory sticker? Obviously excplicit stuff here.
I finally heard the whole thing and my thoughts are that it is very ...very beautiful and very ...very strange! Loved it!
There's really no such sticker on the album. Recharged was released yesterday here in Finland so I already have the physical copy.
So, do you guys collectively agree on Astat's take on the STB intro verse? I want to learn the song and it seems he's got the best one so far. I'm not good figuring out lyrics lol.
Now that RECHARGED is officially out, it would be great if someone could post them straight from the booklet, if it contains the lyrics.
Cursing on an album does not automatically = P.A. sticker. It's all about the frequency and context of the cursing. It's also ultimately the artist's decision whether or not they release a censored version of an album, and the retailer's decision whether or not to carry an album that's uncensored. No lyrics in the liner notes. It's not actually even a booklet, it's a six-panel foldout thing.
Rap Genius has an updated version of Pusha T's verse on IBG What's interesting is that hovering on that line I bolded here, there's the commentary: It makes more sense now, with what comes before and after the line.
That Ryu line mentioning fort minor we major phase to has me wondering and excited! Why else would it be in there besides foreshadowing
