A reference to the Scarface album The Last of a Dying Breed

Deacon is a rapper who truly loves his craft and what he does. However, rappers who are truly talented and love their craft are becoming fewer and fewer. Instead, many rappers now are primarily concerned with the amount of money they can make for themselves, instead of making great music.

The Deacon is forced to see all of these sub-par emcees rise in popularity, popularity and recognition that Deacon so deserves, but has long been denied.

A Maybach and a plaque, is that all you get? Shhhit
(We struggle to juggle talent with a helluva sales pitch)

Connor grew up in Flint, Michigan, a city in close proximity to Detroit, an area that has been in turmoil since the auto industry crash in 2008.

This turmoil felt in this area as a whole reflects the environment Connor experienced in the neighborhood for his whole life. People are without options, nowhere to work, and no chance for growth or improvement. His neighborhood predated the turmoil in this area, and now it is felt all around him even more.

Check this RG user’s lyrics about Detroit and its surrounding areas out, paints a good picture of the cities.

While he’s also an emcee, Oddisee is most heralded for his skills producing, and particularly his frequent use of Jazz and Soul music samples, and he holds true to this formula with this beat.

The primary song sampled on “Yaa I Get It” is “You Can’t Hide Love” by Creative Source and it appears at the end of the song:

http://youtu.be/HNXGhtvG8yI?t=2m20s

Oddisee took this loop and remixed it himself reworking the wind instrument line to a gently looping melody while adding a booming bass line as well.

Througout Oddisee’s remix of the sample descending vocal lines can be heard that were sampled from the original song as well. Oddisee then uses the original sample as a fill before bringing back in the remake he made himself.

Children are often limitless in their imagination, and will often imagine many outlandish things that they want to be (ie. Astronauts and princesses.) in their life.

Detroit thinks back to the time when he was younger, and realizes that he never truly wanted to be himself. He wishes he could have been able to answer that question of what he wants to be by simply answering himself. However, before the White Hart came into his life Detroit was afraid of being himself.
