Last time I dissect we examined eases the seventh track blood on the leaves, the end of it epic saga of a broken relationship, officially signals the beginning of the final act of the Alps three x structure during act, one This leaves a manic celebrity life full of posh indulgences. He then, strives to do more with his power and inspire people to join as social revolution. But his volcanic ego overwhelms has good intentions, so people refused to follow it, leadership, they know, I'm all me were unique as they breathing new gas major magazine very, very bad. During active

receives is recoil from his failed cultural ambitions and retreat from the public realm. Forces them to look within and confront his demons. Ok, lonely man eases visit the power lubber on the album spits on hold my liquor, based on their interaction assumed the relationship and poorly, but we don't exactly know why or use a show, some vulnerability at first with his axe. His ego eventually takes over. And up and see encounter only when no baby girl, you made me, go night organ donor after dad did now that it is properly may become solely on the song live in it We witness, ease ass rebound from someone who had potential to care for him to some one that satisfies the sexual desires. These two song, led the bloody believes, the true climax of the album. It's here that easy reveals a tragic backstory that x,

and much of his loneliness and erratic behaviour. Sometime in his power, He been in a loving relationship that change once money and fame entered the picture. The limelight he says, tore this girl from him. Follow from this lost love embittered our hero, where we thought eager alone made visas. The asshole he's been. The truth is its grief that german him headlong into such a destructive lifestyle, a wash in the limelight, he loathed focused only on the present, because the past and future reminder of what is lost, by the end of blood on the leaves our main character finds a connection between the materialism and consumerism. He denounce in the first act at the album and his Google pattern of failed relationships documented in the second act, the pursuit of wealth and fame, not

he makes us new slave serving building their masters and also destroys relationships and makes love and possible. As men and women see each other as only a means to an end. At this point, this seems to realize you can either continue to live in acrid forsaken life at the top of the mountain or give up the fantasies escaped into benefiting from a strong dose a reality. With all this in mind I'm in the Alps. Next, on the beginning, a back three guilt trip, guilt trip was produced by Conny West Ass. One might dean with a dish. No production by Travis Scott and a key juice rockers, the founding for the song is provided by a deep, distorted basin and equally distorted drumbeat, which features a distant

crushed near drawn over the top of this foundation. We hear a fluttering rising since coming in and out of the mix. Finally, as and bore, but emotive piano rivers heard throughout giving the track a plaintive, introspective quality. While still darker minor, key musically guilt trip, leans,

a more dreamy contemplate sound that we heard enact two contrasting the aggressive dissonance of the opening for tracks. We can therefore expect that Conny will continue express a vulnerable side, that's more in line with what we heard on the previous track. Blood on the leaves again Now, though, on users things, I need to call it off. I me too. I need to make it known in the wake of the breakthrough of blood leave it appears that uses now knows he must break up with the woman is with us

would it be aware of the cyclist trapped in he knows. The relationship is never going to grow more meaningful because its purely transactional, sex and company in exchange for a taste of the limelight, and ass. The next line that confirms the hollow nature of this dynamic. He sings another one, something God eases Keith burning through these types of women, which says as much about him as it does them. He then paints a brief, but striking portrait, the woman is a quote: Capricorn dancing out on the lawn fancy. Like the thing she likes, This is one of the items most vivid and poetic images and just three lines. We understand this woman, mind body and soul. Capricorn refers to the Zodiac sign each Zodiac sign- is of course associated with some sort of symbol or figure for LEO at the line. Sagittarius, it's an archer for Capricorn. It's a horn, goat.

The ideas I eat sign of the archetype that can explain someone's personality. It said that capricorns are smart, hard working and always get what they set their mind to ease as follows: up the Capricorn line, with the side of this woman dancing in the grass people dance because they're happy, because it feels good because it gathers in Brussels, something primal that beyond language and she's, not just a woman dancing on the lawn but a Capricorn dancing on the lawn. This gives her. Sort of mythical aura and other war. They ambience that's undoubtably, alluring upon for a site, but people also dance for attention because they want to draw the gaze of a crowd or an individual, So is this a moment of simple human beauty, or is this a calculate view, said the female form to lure wealthy man who has money to burn. Can it be both?

Connie estimation is that the woman is quote: fancy like the thing she likes. In one sense, her ability to be fancy empowers her she's lovely to look at something to cherish for its appearance, but aside from the superficial, what more is there in the eyes of visas she's, morbid ornament that a person Germany's are smart, dynamic and passionate the Rome. Anti relationships tend to be intense there. Compatible with areas LEO's and Libruls? They are not compatible, however, with copper Corinth and thus those last two lines of the intro c visas and this woman going their separate ways. She, her life I'm living mine? This? Is it Jesus needed to make coming out a blot on the leaves where he saw men and women using one another to accrue more social power to get a taste of the limelight to get to the top of the mountain. By reflecting on these women who want to be bad bitches and these men, who want to be mad writ Jesus understands the crew carousel he's been a prisoner of

he realizes that, if he stays with this woman were keeps dating. These women, oh. I see him as a wallet to end up walking a path that lead. When violations to an unholy matrimony. maybe he's. Her visas. Aesthetic vulnerability is balanced by aggression as guilt trip continues. With her performed by yet another jamaican artist. This time, it's dance hall dj pop can the lines we you're from pop counter actually sample from his guest. First on push tease, track, blocker I'd buy them am I I don't know That's right! It does not matter. The boss Hopkins lines

roughly translate to this type of shit. That happens every day. All of them acting hard are softer than clay. None of them have the guts to rise it and spray. None of them have the guts to bust Kay at this point, the album it should be no surprise that Conny brings in a sample from an incredibly aggressive song and ordered a marked visas, characters, inner conflict and battle with his own ego, his sensitive, abilities are always immediately challenged by his aggressive tendencies, as is caught between what's good and what the evil between the man he wants to be, and the eel maniac he can't help being it's a duality in line with this German. I sign the law and we hear sampled and looped in the hook of guilt trip is all of them are going softer than clay and has not taken from the original push a t track, but rather a remix of the song by a key juice. Rockers electronic dual from ITALY, popcorn

uses this description as the beginning of a contrast between other people and himself, their soft, weak and feeble like clay or he's hard, strong and aggressive, and yes, the guts to fire a gun and his rivals. It's a direct matched to the mentality assassin expressed on. I mean it, but is trusting that we only here the line about being soft and none the other lines. At this point, as has been revealed, especially our blood on olives. Visas I want to be more like clay to shed his as side and give himself over to a woman but its unclear if its ego will ever allow him to truly this maybe it was just a brief now- is that it brings to two hours to get their guilt. Troops first burst with more astrology talk, Easy says, maybe ask

he's into LEO's. Now isn't a trio's plus all the trips to Rio couldn't have helped lose. Our fireside weekly associated with big affirmative emotion, humor, positivity generosity, none of which are traits we would associate with visas. Simply put the woman wanted someone he wasn't eases openly admits that his desire for three sons and trips, Rio added to the relationship was. This is a stand out moment the album because it marks the fur, time be. This is openly and candidly emitted a fall in his behaviour with women He was the story. Teller has certainly signal uses. Polarizing presence throughout most note We during hold my liquor when the woman's aunt calls visas a hopeless loner addicted to sex, but this is the first time the character as expressed the same self awareness himself, his request for a threesome and trips to Rio would have caused tension in the relationship due to distance and jealousy these complications, bring a chill to the relationship

Which is why the next line is it's getting cold, better, bring your ski close, their humor and irony in the line as Rio De Janeiro is known for its warm weather. So what should be a light. Enjoyable vacation has turned cold and uncomfortable. This thread continues at the next line, peeking through the keyhole, the image cheers of a couple on vacation. The can be in the same room together. He so close yet and possibly fall. Away from forming a lasting connection with this woman. That's when Jesus amidst fault again saying the door locked by myself the door. The barrier between them was not made by the woman by users Its own action plans is that the state you fellas

continues and I'm feeling it right now cause us the time when my heart got shot down. This is the big clue. What we may have Jesus was telling us about what went wrong with the Capricorn, since she was the focus of the intro. The Capricorn didn't shoot either his heart down. Thou honour belongs to the girl from the flash back a blood on the leaves recall that on that try, Conny juxtapose these his present was with women against the tragedy of a pass romance guilt. Trip operates in much the same way. The end of the present day, relationship with the Capricorn causes and matured and thoughtfully says to look back at what truly went wrong in the relationship we learned about on blood on the leaves, and was just the limelight that stole this girl eases can finally acknowledge its own role in what went wrong, he's as follows. Is admission with the repetition of the word blocker on the surface is clever way to express his heart being shot down as sites the title of the song he pulled, the pop can sample from, but seeing that Conny repeats the word three times. We really

is that blocker is also an interpretation of the famous notorious Biagi song Gimme, the loose bridges these. What s up bigger here described a robbery seen holding his victims at gunpoint. He specifically targets a woman threatening to take everything she owns if she resist its blocker ottoman appear for gunshots, just like the pumpkin sample Conny. Here, cleverly flips, a reference to something aggressive and threatening and use it to showcase how weak the youth is characterised this case. He isn't the one who takes from the woman. Woman is the one who took from him when he resisted he was shot down. Blocker blocker blocker this week,

hersel of ego into border ability continues at the next slides poor little champagne cranberry vodka, much like on hold my liquor, eases his drinking as a means of coping, but the beverage line also has a couple heirs to it. First you referred to. The ritual of pouring one out known, formerly as libation or an alcoholic drink, is poured into the ground and honour of someone who has been lost in this case eases warrants his heart, shot down the line, also interpolating song by three six mafia called role with it. Much like pop can juicy J both of his achievements on the streets and the difference between him and remember is directed at me. I saw your may play a name was soon, but a face was the shocking based juicy J wraps a player, drinking makers, marker cranberry vodka, wearing a mink

That's furry s! Chewbacca! I saw your main girl and a player had to stop her. Her name and silk, but her face was a shocker during for Jews, J is a celebration of his player status, but another reversal for uses. The drink is something the drowned sorrow in Edition of champagne and commies line also adds another reversal. Typically shit. Pain is associated with special occasions or celebrations. So it's ironic that this is the beverage he chooses to wash always pain. This leads to the next line. Feeling lied to like parents never said you adopted. Conny here compares the feeling of being betrayed by women to being betrayed by parents, hiding the fact that your adopted both change, your whole sense

dandy, leaving you to ask who are by now. We get a sense that visas is asking himself just that, as his mask of machismo is disintegrating, leaving him increasingly exposed more on that right after the break.

Before the break, we heard visas present a series of referential reversals citing lyrics that, in their regional context, are meant to portray a cut throat toughness but are then flip. To expose the increasing vulnerability of our hero. As the OIE version guilt trip continues

So too does the sequence of reversing uses he's with the line. Your feelings like Zulu, then Nothing is a shocker on the surface. The line place off the famous African Shaka, the Zulu kingdom. The most basic Inter rotation. Is that when you're so broken up by something like the news at your door? did or that you ve been dumped. Nothing else can really shock you. Name. Shaka, of course, becomes a playful way of the word. Shocker but a little research about Shaka Zulu gives this line and additional layer, as this is Another modernization of black historical events on the album, the Zulu clan, formed in seventeen o nine in southern Africa and gained power after gathering gather other regional plans. For decades the Zulu were a part of them. Pathway Empire

After a messy succession following the death of the Zulu king and the entire, what chief Shaka took the reins in this time of chaos, highly organized Shaka over the course of twelve years swept across the and growing the Zulu from a clan to a kingdom. Its estimated His empire covered nearly twelve thousand square miles about the size of the state of Maryland or the country, Belgium. Knowing this deeper interpreted, of the guilt replied that when you're so broken up and distraught, nothing can be your Shaka. You feel if no one can unite, restore or save you find There's one last layer to this line and its found on the same juicy J verse I was referenced earlier, have another listen stop. What name was soon but a face was the shocking pasting See wraps, I saw your main girl and a player had to stop her. Her name was it silk, but her face was the shocker the same way, Conny played with shock Zulus name juicy J

does the same with silk the shocker, a robber popular the late nineties on no limit records the same. Label that was referenced on blood on the leaves were see J uses line into another guys girl colonies, Correlation further demonstrates visas, vulnerability and yet another reference reversal, but Jesus gains is edge back in the next lines. He wraps hitter with Jamais Dick, I'm the new shopper, This line is in reference to artist Shabba ranks as a jamaican rastafarian. This adds to the album's ongoing motif of referencing or sampling rastas and jamaican artist. Shabba ranks is best known for his one thousand nine hundred and ninety two track. Mr Loverman as you just heard, shopper Rink ad Lib, his name throughout the track, which we then hear. Hyrcania mimic on guilt. Trip but of course, we know that a reference on visas is really just a simple reference, but rather

an invitation to look deeper into the subject matter of the song. Mr Lover, It is full of sexually charge lyrics as a position sharper as a player who courts a seemingly endless array of women for sex. This recalls the transaction. Major of relationships. Unease is a threat that continues with guilt trips next line. She looking for her daddy call me big Papa, daddy hears shorthand for sugar, daddy, which is, of course, a man with money who financially provides for a younger consenting adults in exchange for company, often sexual, by calling himself big Papa eases. Once again. Amidst the exchange of sex of money, he's participated, throughout the album, but then there is also the reason that she truly is looking for her father, the saloon

not only the idea of fathers who abandon their families, but also calls back to the earlier lied about finding out you're, adopted and both cases. Your left, looking for your dad just kind of abandonment, lead some people to find replacement father figures, which can be good like a coach teacher or mentor or could be bad like men who want to take advantage of women for Sex Jesus agreeing to be this girl's. Big Papa means he's willingly complicit in either scenario. He'll either be her sugar, daddy or he'll happily benefit from her daddy issues, Of course. The line is also a reference to one of notorious b. I jeez biggest hit big papa, just like the juicy J reference coming back again, so too does biggie as his track. May the loot was just nodded to a few lines. Back. Big Papa is a fair bars about biggie sexual prowess and appetite

oh Jesus attempts to channel that same energy. We know from the game in the loot reference that visas. Is it really like biggie he's not the alpha gangster who robs he's the victim who get shot down? There is evidence that Conny might be pointing us to a specific line of big papa, which occurs in the beginning of the song. Second furs straight up ass. You please make us think but maybe you're, trying to tell me what's so, I bought a piggy wraps most of these Edwards think they be makin, but they acting who they attracting with that line. What's your name, what's your sign throughout the album users, who pretended to be tougher and uncaring than he truly is, however, we know his heart is sought. Then clay that he tries to act like it's not. He wants to be like sharper like biggie, but he cares too much note. There Biggie mentions the men who think they're makin ask what sign the girl is guilt trip

but to be the only song in Cotonou Discography where he describes a woman, Zodiac sign that could be coincidence or its part of the continued de mystification of visas, character from his initial presentation on site. He went from seemingly makin at the highest levels. To being nothing than a softy asking about the Zodiac as guilty continues. He's closes at the vote. By doubling down on this surging eager next the zone back to back? I don't wanna see guilt. Europe continues with the declaration on to the next saga focus on the future and let the crude knocker after his heart got shot down any achieved his moments,

tharsis on blood on the leaves easy now, seemingly, is looking ahead. Putting behind him the things he can't change and moving on to the next saga has now disinterested with the girl that only wanted him for financial Support we get the verses final, two lines star worth fur yeah rocking Chewbacca, the one chief Rocca number, one chief rocker, the star wars. Name drop: pays off on the onto the next saga bar while rocking Chewbacca cleverly equate this massively furry star wars, character to the big gaudy inexpensive fur coat easier, there's, but also brings a verse, full circle back yet again, a succession of juicy J bars. Commie has referred to now three times, as I recall juicy wrapped a player, drinking makers, marker cranberry vodka wearing a mink coat. That's furry s. True Bach, we already discussed, how juicy Jays drink with celebre, Tory Jesus is, was an acknowledgment of pain, but six lines later after you

as Finnish, wallowing decided to move on to the next saga, both ease and juicy J rocked the tobacco ready to attract or next partner? This leads to the declaration that visas is the number one chief rocker many he's not only the top rock star in the world, but he can also rock closed better than anyone that he'll, physically rock any and all opponents. This sends a presence in power is confirmed by yet another historical hip hop reference This is a ninety. Ninety three hit chief Rocca by lords of the underground Conny interpolate a hook almost verbatim. The lyrics of the song are all about being the best and hip hop. An m c that unrivalled and won't feel diminished by anyone. This chief rock interrelation pays off on the Zulu reference earlier. Shaka was a king, a title entertain

but with chief or earlier uses his feelings were in disarray. The decision to finally accept what he can't change and move on to roll with it, as juicy J said, has allowed him to become the chief Rocca to channel the Spirit of Shaka and unite. What is pass pain had split apart

from the verse we returned to pop cancer, about everyone being softer than clay were before these words felt contrast, you'd be eases. They have now become a political to his renewed confidence. This technique of a verse red

Finding the interpretation of the hook is something Conny has done throughout his career. Kindly even includes the rest of pop can't lines from blocker. None of them have the guts to rise it and spray. None of them have the guts to bust the S Kay. This, of course refers to the idea that other men who are soft or have the courage for the street life to actually fire again. After being, open on blood on the leaves and in the first part of guilt trip visas. You're gonna process of catharsis enclosure. That's allowed him to feel like the chief rocket again, but before we get to comfortable with this renewed sense of eco, we get this. Bridge featuring the one and only kid Cutty

We then with great emotion, Cutty asked three times. If you love me so much then why'd you, let me go. He then pleads over and over. Let me go. This is now our third major instance of Connie using two different artist. In contrast, vulnerability and ego on hold my liquor. It was,

Vernon versus Chief Keith on a minute. It was just an Vernon versus assassin and for guilt trip its kid cutty versus pop can't following Connie's, only versed in the pop can't sample the cutty interlude may seem like a step back. If he's ready to move forward wisely, still hung up on the woman who left him for the limelight The nature of cuddies question it seems. Jesus is looking for closure, some reasoning to make sense of where things went wrong. This is something I think we can all relate to, whether in a romantic relationship, a friendship or something apparent or sibling does at some point we, her by someone discarded by somebody. We thought loved us and had no explanation, for it were left ruminating on. Why What did you do that was so wrong? There's something could have said or done if what you do had was so special. How could they possibly have left you and down that depressive rabble hole? You go

we'll be all looks, in this situation is closure. Instead of holding onto the questions and the pain and the memories, all a bit like some Rubik's key, we can't figure out a camp down. Sometimes only closure available is acknowledgement of our pain. Is the expression of that pain through talking through riding through screaming? We take that jumble, that's inside and poured out into the world, and sometimes that can be enough, which is why the rapid of, let me go could feel less like eases questioning the former lover and more like him, letting go of this burden. He's refused to put down

fittingly. Gill trip ends with an instrumental ultra that features distorted, driving, drumbeat juxtaposed with an elegant, cello melody hearing the contrast between these two instruments and we can't help but think of the war of opposites that have reached its peak. Uneasiness are Gemini, the God of Pollux forces, the mortal castor

devil versus angel super ego versus it anima, verses and amiss. Whatever analogy, you prefer its clear that visas will need to choose once and for all what life he'll need and what kind of man he'll be. Conclusions, an AIDS ever since he has failed in its revolutionary ambitions. We have watched him bound from woman to women. And ass. We learn about each of these women that make up his life Really, learning about is easy himself, because it's not just the way

who have been ruined by the limelight. He has been shattered as well and his followers that damage has essentially split him into his protective ego and is buried. Vulnerability have completely mangled his persona. This is why create such a captive Amy situation for the alms, eighth track guilt, after hiding from his pass for so long. He reflects on a crucial memory in the event of blood. The leaves are revealed, leaving this An EC celebrity life has clearly robbed him away. He thought was true love. We therefore, soon we now knows a change must be made. The romance on guilt trip then immediately carries a different tone from the beginning, It doesn't feel like this Gemini in this Capricorn are meant for one another. She's fancy like the thing she likes, which mean she's part of the star, Fucker crowd that visas is trying to move past at this time. Isa is finally starting to acknowledge his own fault and ruining these relationships. His asking for three sons and placing barriers between them.

Which is no way to act. If your truly looking for love for the woman to make you feel whole again by the end of the term, we see this channel has destructive eager once again, seemingly falling back into normal behaviors. He calls himself the new sharper big papa and the number one if rocker, but this too, is immediately counter by kid cuddies feature. Agonizingly wonders. If you love me so much then why'd you let me go and then please, let me go as an audience. We know enough about her character now to understand that he must drop the massage monistic indulgent persona in order to attract the woman. He wants the woman. He needs the woman, HU, as alluded to at the end of new slave, will restore our hero so that he may emerge from behind the somber lake and shine once again. Having seen his sensitive side and the genuine desire for love reveal beneath the mask of arrogance. We know that is capable of doing this, and this is what makes what happens next on the album all the more painful
