MAYNHOLUP!’s Ro Of The Week #17

Z-Ro f/ Den D – “Block Bleeder“
from King Of Da Ghetto (Straight Profit, 2001)
Whut it is mayn.
Ah mayn i wus lookin back at de Ro Uv De Weeks mayn an i noticed dat i aint even pst a track yet from “King Of Da Ghetto”! Mayn hol up! Dis def wun uv mah fav Ro albumz cuz iss so different from “Z-Ro Vs. The World” which came righ befo it. Maybe not on de firss couple listens, but in comparison ta Ro’s other, pre R-A-L albums u could say “Vs. The World” is a lil mo upbeat den de othaz. Now if de average rap fan heard it dey would thank iss dark as hell, but when you look at it nexx ta “King Of Da Ghetto” iss a pretty clear distinction mayn.
I’m not completely sure on de exact chronology mayn, but KODG dropped after Screw died, an we alreddy kno Joseph McVey an Robert Davis wuz close mayn an u can hear Ro’s anger in de lyrics. All de talk bout blowin up an steady ballin from “Vs The World” almos compeltely gone from dis album. Dass why dis week i’m givin yall “Block Bleeder”, which migh juss be mah favorite Z-Ro chorus uv all time mayn. Iss alsoe easy ta git caught up in juss how sick wit it Ro is on de technical tip mayn but listen to whut de boi saying here mayn.
From here on out mayn i’ma post one song from each uv de albums I have from Ro dat havent gotten any shine here yet mayn. I been bumpin “The Life Of Joseph McVey” an “I’m Still Livin’” like a fiend lately mayn but again, i assume yall have deze records. If you dont whut u even doin on dis here site mayn, git yo azz back ta AllHipHop.com an bump leaks from Fab’s next record. Dis column bout hittin yall up with some Ro yall prolly aint heard yet mayn, ta show yall mark as haterz dat Ro was an still is de bess rapper in de game. Out mayn.

Cot damn! I ain’t never heard this track but it’s amazing! This is right up there with Things Done Changed as far as existential rap goes. Once again, MAYN brings it!

Your reality is already HALF video hallucination. If you’re not careful, it will become TOTAL hallucination. You’ll have to learn to live in a very strange new world.
