This is dope af! It’s so creative to write in this way. Wow I really really like this piece! And the way you added the visuals with blue suede was smooth!

Thanks! Appreciate you reading it and catching the hidden links. This piece was definitely one of the more ‘out there’ concepts that I had when I started this series but I didn’t know how to execute it until a couple of days ago so I’m glad to see it resonate 🙏🏾

You did so beautifully!!! I love it!!! If I could request one - my mind often wonders when I watch the Nipsey Hussle video Double Up. What happened during that timeframe that Lauren disappeared on Nipsey?

I’m not sure if that’s the concept for your inspiration but I’d love to see how you cultivate a Nipsey Hussle song/video.

Not familiar with that video but will give it a look. My list for ‘Life Told Through Rap’ is pretty fixed as it mainly deals with albums that I’ve been personally obsessed with over the past few years, will give Victory Lap some more spins though and let you know if I’m able to come up with something 👍🏾

I enjoyed this, the chorus at the end reminds me of the chorus in the Greek tragedy Antigone.

Thanks! I felt that putting a chorus at the end would help illustrate Vince's transformation from Disc 1 to Disc 2 on the album and highlight how pivotal this track / moment is in the grand scheme of his whole discography.
