Need help finding an album

Justthefacts · 01-09-2013, 07:36 PM

Came out last year and has a cover with an older gentleman's face peering seriously at something. Its a political hip hop album to an extent I believe. Indie/underground hip hop. Supposedly really great, I haven't heard it yet. I'd like too.

Help please

Is it Billy Woods' "History Will Absolve Me"?

Or maybe it's your avatar? If it's this one, you won't be disappointed. I listened to it a few times today and it's pretty great.

lets just make this the official thread because i wanna banter about this album its great

lyrically, and musically, it's just so uncompromising. Rather then mold his words to form a good melody he chooses to say stuff in a way thats really off putting, your only going to like listening to this record if your actually interested in what billy has to say.

Bill Cosby snaps off like none other

Quote:

I get tired of niggas talking about the "good old days"
When they still owe me money
Laughing at my boss' jokes when ain't a damn thing funny

"Honey I'm home!" whisky and Tommy recliner feels like the throne
Forty year old negro Al Bundy clone
Renting three bedrooms in the colored section
Three kids and not a day goes by that I don't wish I used protection
Probably be paid in the shade dicking bitches that ain't need agression
Oh well! This Bud's for you
Taste shots in the brew, brew with the pot
Blunts with Newport smoke

You ****in' kids better shut-up before I have to choke
The living ****
Back and forth to the bathroom to piss
By the end of the night incoherently mumbling
Stumbling in the bedroom like "**** you bitch"
Wake up and pretend nothing happened
That's marital bliss
But wait!
The DVD's got special features

The album is edited crazy well. A lot of the sounds remind me of def jux circa early 2000's.
