R.I.P PROOF
Dicuss the song in this thread.
I figured we should be getting this song soon. So we should have a thread about it to discuss our feelings on it since many people have mixed feelings about it being leaked.
Heres the info we know about it so far:
- About Proof (Duh)
- Complete Opposite of "Your Never Over"
- No Hook
- 3 Verses (2nd and 3rd are very sad)
- Recorded during his serious drug issues
Koolo's description of it:
"He honestly sounds like he's still in the phase he was talking about during Going Through Changes...as if he's about to pop a handful of pills as soon as he finishes performing each verse (there is no hook, not a complete one anyway, it's unfinished). The beat is incredibly simple, slow drums and piano-driven but works perfectly for a Proof song. As Difficult (assuming that's the title) simply sounds like a man who's destroyed. There's no sense that he's even begun to come with terms with the death yet; it sounds like he went straight to the studio to record this directly after Proof's funeral."
A couple lyrics Koolo typed out:
they ask me am i ok...they ask me if im happy
or they ask me that cuz of the shit throwin at me
of am just alittle snappy and they really care
this may sounds a little strange but imma tell it
i found the jacket u left on my wedding..i picked it up to smell it
i wrapped it up in plastic till i put it in glass and hang it up on the hallway so i can always look at it
and for me and d12 we feel like fuck rap
and our general just died in our lap
Supposed lyrics (Not sure who typed them out):
I'm moving past it/It still ain't registered yet/but you can bet/your legacy that/ they'll never forget/the motor city Motown hip hop vet/hip hop shop dreads, yeah, it don't stop there, as difficult as it sounds....
I let the pistol bang once just to lick a shot in the air for you and pour some liquor out with Obie in the parking lot of 54 just before we were supposed to get in cars and come and see you, as difficult as it sounds...
What are you guy's thoughts on the song so far? I would love to hear it but i understand it's really personal for Em but he wouldn't have recorded it if he didn't intend for anyone to hear it.
Also if you have any more info feel free to post it.
