#HEGELIAN DIALECTIC PRODIGY CODE#
CyHi rides trap beats really well.Īs CyHi recalls the life lessons he learned, the listener gets to learn his morals and code of ethics. Dat Side sounds like a sequel to That Part, including a feature from Kanye.Don’t Know Why has CyHi doing a more poetic verse to then transitioning to rapping to a trap-style beat with Jagged Edge doing the chorus.He flips the concept of being told to go to Africa and basically asks what if America’s black icons left to re-build Africa since America steals from black culture and doesn’t get the credit. This is going to be a lot of fans’ favorite. “I been stabbed in the back more times than Paul Pierce” Great bars are peppered through the album. Many bars have CyHi recalling growing up in the hood and selling bricks. I wasn’t sure what I would think of this gimmick, especially after Jeezy did it with lackluster results but CyHi’s faith and duality of street banging and faith in God seem genuine.ĬyHi’s delivery on the album takes on a spoken-word esque flow at times. Starting off with the banger Amen!, CyHi takes us back to the block preaching the street gospel. After the release of the Black Hystori project many people anticipated what CyHi would do next. Stand-out tracks: Red, White, & Blues Violet, No Universe Without Harmony, Gone 2. NO DOPE ON SUNDAYS – CyHi The PrynceĬyHi takes us to church. It is my pick for Album of the Year (AOTY). The group talks about manifesting vibrations. No Universe Without Harmony – Okay, this is probably the most straightforward track. Purple is also used to as a literary device for royalty. It’s filled with plays on the color purple to reference black artists (i.e. Jimi and Andre – Referencing Jimi hendrix and filled with biblical images I’m not sure what to make of it. Get the Hottest HipHop Vinyl – Kendrick’s DAMN Collectors Edition Stating the irony of how corporate America will demonize the hood, then sell back the images to middle America who will then eat it up. This song challenges facets of late capitalism. And yet it feels like it’s about so much more. Gone – This song is essentially about Gentrification. There’s a really good metaphor about America’s Appetite for Destruction based on the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Get it? This song directly takes aim at Trump. I think the allegory here is that Rose is like a caged bird looking for freedom from the hood. Literary allusions to Romeo and Juliet and Edgar Allen Poe.
The correlations between the police department and the Klan in the south. A clever line about black females being lionesses/ not being less. Riot speaks on the police as an oppressive force in the projects, painting a picture of the police state going on in many hoods in America today. Riot! deals with police brutality – a subject talked about on albums a lot this year. “Her name represents the three physical primary colors and we thought it would be interesting if the path of someone who could ‘hear colors’ was used as a personification of black music’s roots in American upheaval.” “The album, originally entitled Chromesthesia, is about the title character, Rose Azura Njano, and her journey to find herself and figure out her own story - which leads her to an interesting discovery by the album’s last track,” Kno told HipHopDX.
