08/Pusha T & Kendrick Lamar/Nosetalgia
The crack epidemic, at its height, came thru and straight fucked shit up for many people. At the same time, it gave rise to a generation of youth that saw the anguish of the trials and tribulations that its havoc wreaked on some around them and said, "Nope. Not I. Above it." In just three and a half minutes, Push and Kendrick offer two takes on this history: the block's all knowing & menacing drug lord using drugs and the game to realize his American Dream vs. the knowing little boy trapped in a world of fiends and theives, including those close to him. No hook, just bars, and cinematic in scope. It's a new day, and the script's been flipped. "Now the same shit that y'all was smoking is my profession." "Your son's DOPE, n***a."
Truth.
