I'm still trying to figure out this album, I know its about dreams, and I read a post by Kno on the q5 forum saying the beat switch on "Stars Shine Brightest" turns the album froming being about dreams into to waking up, but a lot of this is going over my head, I know on Hard as They Come Natti is alcholhol, Freddie Gibbs is cocaine and Kno is AIDS, but the meanings behind most of the other tracks is beyond me at the moment
First 3 songs = Falling asleep, Hard As They Come - Stars Shine Brighest = Dreaming, As Though As Not To Wake You - Dreams = Waking Up, and Embers is fulling regaining consciousness, I think I've got this now
Anyway, amazing production, great lyrics, perfect guests, fantastic concept - this album is going to be hard to top this year
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified[/i - Jay-Z
