Sadhugold’s production does more than a fine job at teetering between boom bap & drumless so Diamond can spit some of hardest bars that he’s jotted down all year. As a matter of fact: I might like it more than the Ral Duke EP by a hair. Smoke Face & Nobody Bleeds Like Flair both had their highlights, but they didn’t give me the same feeling that both Gucci Ghosts or Oroku Saki as consistent bodies of work. The penultimate song “Racer X” takes a hazier route sonically to bring on a samurai showdown & shortly after the “Disturbia” interlude, the closer “Death Threats” ends what I personally consider to be Mickey’s best full-length album in 7 months ( Oroku Saki was an EP mind you) by returning to the boom bap 1 last time with a groovy guitar passage wailing behind him asking if music nowadays is considered as art or simply something to buy. “Prime Time Deon” hooks up a bare soul sample cautioning not to press your luck with him just before “Sir Smoke a Lot” gives off an unsettling groove to the beat talking about stepping aside to let him cook. Things get drumless on “Tokyo Tea” stretching anyone who dares to fuck around with him, but then the piano sample throughout “Def Leppard” is really nice as he talks about those who choose to be disrespectful getting battered & bruised.
“Sleepers” instrumentally is reminiscent to RZA’s production work in the 90’s looking to make & break rules at the same time leading into alarm-ring “Pen Diesel” obviously referring to himself as Vin Diesel with the lyricism. “When a Stranger Calls” is an eerie boom bap opener to party like it’s Mardi Gras whereas “2412” works in an hair-raising loop on top of some kicks & snares talking about kick pushing shit as if he’s Lupe Fiasco cleverly enough. But coming off the Smoke Face EP & the last full-length Nobody Bleeds Like Flair, the hot streak is going by enlisting Sadhugold behind the boards for Death Threat$. on top of Ral Duke producing Oroku Saki in it’s entirety all became his strongest bodies of work to date. Gucci Ghost & it’s sequel produced by Big Ghost Ltd. Emerging at the beginning of 2020 off the strength of his debut EP Bangkok Dangerous, the dude has since gone on to turn quite a few heads in the underground by building up the impressive discography for himself with his previous 6 albums alongside 7 EPs & & a mixtape. Overall, the song "Brief Intermission" showcases Lupe Fiasco's confidence, skill, and resilience in the face of adversity.This is the 8th full-length album from Detroit emcee Mickey Diamond. Lupe also references movies and superheroes like Batman and Superman, symbolizing his strength and invincibility. He compares himself to the front and back of a train, suggesting his versatility and control. The remainder of the verse contains various metaphors and wordplay, highlighting Lupe's lyrical prowess and his ability to navigate through life's challenges. He emphasizes his influence and status, contrasting himself as a leader with others who are followers ("you ain't 'bout it 'bout it, you ain't Master P"). He boasts about his origins from Chicago (C-H-I), referencing the city's crime rates and his resilience in rising above it. The mention of a freestyle suggests his spontaneity and skill in improvisation. Lupe also references his lyrical abilities and dominance, stating that others should not underestimate him. The line "Must transform like a robot, or watch" implies the need to adapt and evolve in order to succeed, comparing oneself to a robot that must constantly change or will become obsolete. In Lupe Fiasco's verse, he begins by describing himself in a confident manner, riding in a luxurious vehicle with long hair and Vans sneakers. While specific meaning or narrative may not be immediately evident due to the absence of complete lyrics for verses 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the provided lyrics, we can still derive some interpretation from the content of the first verse. The song "Brief Intermission" by Tunechii Leoshis featuring Lupe Fiasco is a rap track that showcases the lyrical prowess and wordplay of both artists.
