so he gave me homework of about five or six albums to study and he told me to go memorize them from front to back word for word,
N
4.6
4.4

the beat, where they breathed at, what inflections
H

the black album as one, so that was the one i studied probably the most.

4.8
4.4
38
Male
not too many can do that, that's what separates him from a lot of people. you have mcs that are lyrical all day, but what separates one from the next, as far as who's better
H
4.4
5.4
5.6
284
Female
is their charisma sometimes and how they say what they say. so
N

him at [inaudible 00:00:50], they're best friends and that's my big brother. [inaudible 00:00:54].
S
3.454545
3.636364
3.454545
284
Female
if we can get it to a couple of lines off of beauty and the beast, you have one on who i am that goes, "faith is believing in something they'll never show me." tell me about that line.
N
3.5
4.333333
4.166667
38
Male
faith is believing in something they'll never show me.
H
5.1
5.3
5
284
Female
at the time i took it to mean you always can't see it.
X
3.5
3.666667
4.333333
284
Female
you just got to believe it. that's what faith is. so necessarily you just got to go kind of with your intuition
H
4.416667
4.916667
5
284
Female
and what feels right a lot of times before you're able to see it.
N
4.4
4.4
4.8
284
Female
that's basically what it means in a nutshell, like just having faith to do something. though you necessarily
H
4.2
5.6
5.6
284
Female
can't see it at the time, you got to have faith that somewhere down the line it's going to happen.
X

Male
i think of a very similar line on hard to choose. you rap about making the choice to walk out on faith and do what feels right.
H
4.777778
5.111111
5
38
Male
you're a university accounting graduate, nc state. you ultimately choose to go into music.
H
5.6
4.8
5.6
38
Male
when and how did that decision come to take that leap of faith and go for, i may have this degree, but i want to get into hip hop.
N
4.4
4.4
4.8
38
Male
there were two. yeah, i really did. there were two, i think there were two tribe albums and night [inaudible 00:04:58] was one to...

N
5.2
5.4
4.8
284
Female
you don't want to live life and have any regrets. even if you don't make it, at least you could say...
N
4.2
5.6
5
284
Female
i just couldn't ignore it. accounting wasn't my passion. i took it because i was good at math. i was in college and i'm thinking everybody knows what they want to do.
H
4.666667

4.833333

3.4
284

N
4.4
5
5
284
Female
how much patience you have to have. especially if you want to be an artist
N
4.8
4.8
5
284
Female
that's going to be around for 20 years and have a strong foundation. it takes a lot of time to build that. you think it's really easy,
X
4.6
4.4
4.4
284
Female
but that's what it is. so just having faith that everything is going to work out
H
4.4
5
4.8
284
Female
and you think, "oh, this is going to be the one." and it ain't the one. you drop another one. "oh, nah, it's not the one." so
A
4.8
3.2
5
284
Female
it's just like that moment, right before you feel like giving up that you just got to keep going. that's kind of what it's always been. there have been some hard days.
H
5.090909
5.454545
5.636364

X
4.333333
4.333333
