Anyone interested, this song was originally just Jay Electronica spitting on an unfinished track with a bunch of speech samples from 2007. Kendrick dropped his version on one of his mixtapes from 2010. This is both merged together. Also, IIRC the beat was released by itself on one of Just Blaze's beat tapes from 2005.

Where the choppers kidnap the night and police silence your rights Stare at the sky wonder will you live to see 25? I'm 22 at 20 I knew I was against the odds This kid named Jonathan was monitorin' His momma & sister, his older cousin he honoured him Anonymous bodies on his burner was astonishin' To Johnny he might have been a modern day rider then He walking outside again, he see the lifestyle of an active member Pull out a mac 11, now his eyes is big Fascinated by mayhem, what's his cousin to say now? He wanna be from the hood that he's from and thats one More gangster under the family tree, took em under his wings like KFC Crip crazy, rocking matching t-shirts that says “the hood made me” No love just spread slugs thats the policy, the leader and the prodigy Now shorty do-wap, holdin a ou-wap, hanging with rah rah's with blah blah's That sit on the block catching fades, hitting licks, going on missions with lunatics A 9th grade menace thugging for 6 months, smoking like 6 blunts An hour the power of banging, he was walking… *3 Gun Shots* Little Johnny [Outro: Malcolm X] I think you'll find, sir, that there will come a time When black people wake up and become intellectually independent enough to think for themselves As other humans are intellectually independent enough to think for themselves Then the black man will think like a black man and he will feel for other black people And this new thinking and feeling will cause black people to stick together And then at that point you'll have a situation Where when you attack one black man, you are attacking all black men And this type of black thinking will cause all black people to stick together And this type of thinking also will bring an end To the brutality inflicted upon black people by (black people) And it is the only thing that will bring an end to it No federal court, state court or city court will bring an end to it It's something that the black man has to bring an end to

jay electronica is not a "rapper." Nay, he is a poet. He does not have an "act" nor does his work speak to a cultural fad or a trend. This is timeless. This music is a mixture of some of the best combinations of words that our language has to offer. This will live forever. In a 100 years the people will need light for guidance and THIS music will be the source. Not rack city. Not twerking trap lords. But this.. thank you jay electronica.

Drake maybe a young Garnier Fructis ass fool but you cannot deny both him and Weezy absolutely raped the game in 2008 - 2012. And the nigga essentially created his own punchline style of rap (hashtag rap). Jay E is great but saying he's top 5 is ignorant.

@@counterstrike1110 Whole heartedly disagree, I'm wondering if you even know what shallow means. YAH, he discusses his place in the cosmos and whether or not a generational curse has plagued him and his people, DNA is raw lyricism, craft, anger and frustration against those who explicitly hate him and blacks as a whole but proclaims that we have royalty in our DNA. XXX is profound and highlights the hypocracy in his standing as a influential figure, he may preach a message of tolerance and nonviolence to kids but in his own city there may be someone he wants revenge against. Theres depth to each of these songs and I could go on and on. Just because the music on DAMN. is more accessible and utilizes a more trendy and modern style in its beat selection and just because hes not "underground" anymore doesn't mean he's compromised his artistry, in fact its the contrary he continues to evolve and elevate his art and time continues.

This beat is dope and Malcolm X kicking science at the end is perfect...Not really a Kendrick fan but killed this beat, gave it mouth to mouth, brought it back to life just to kill it all over again...

I listened for that part when I read your comment. That was Malcolm X. Funny how he didn't live past his 40's and yet he had answers to problems we face today 50 some odd years later...Amazing how his mind worked. Brilliant.

Life is illmatic = Life is ill-willing??? because matic would mean ''Will'' as in for e.g. automatic = self-willing Anyone else derive a different meaning?

Yes, and Nas - illmatic (the album). Double entendre right there. The “illmatic” tracklist has been said to be a life story that most of us relate to. (“Life’s a Bitch”, “The World Is Yours”, “One Love”, “Represent”, and so on)
