Rae smooths out Ghosts aggressive flow and the entire track comes together in perfect balance. Incredible production, soulful yet gritty and of course the dynamic of these two is perfect as expected. We hear an excerpt from “The Education of Sonny Carson” again and an Al Green sample. I’d like to think since the last track was short, we get an encore with this one. You didn't do the knowledge what the God was manifesting/” I gave you earth lessons, I came to you as a blessing/ Taught you how to eat the right foods, fast, and don't eat lard/ You gained crazy points, baby, just being with God/ “I'm the first nigga that had you watchin flicks by DeNiro Overall this is a great track and one that works well on this album.

The word choice conveys the anger and the vulnerability while the openness is appreciated and the constant use of “whore”, “hoe” “chickenhead” and “fuck bitch” are to reiterate the emotion. Simply put, this track is about Ghost being cheated on while away on tour. This is where the aggression and rawness from Ghost is heard loud and clear in the form of a story. Thinkin' who's gonna be the next to catch a beatin/'” I spark the mic and Shaolin spark the methtical/Įvery evenin', I have a by myself meetin'/ The violin in 'Knowledge God' sounded ill$” Louisville mix pain kill rap, Fuck benadryl/ The greatest lesson is don't owe, you might get stole on/ “Snatch Canadian cream with Scandinavians/įellatium style, play it like thirty-two Arabians/

This was a dope way to start off the album. On the lyrical side, these three fit together like puzzle pieces, verse after verse remains consistant, coherent and the entire track flows so well. What better way than to use abrasive excerpts from the film “The Education Of Sonny Carson” and then tie in their current experiences and of course naming the song after medieval torture devices is very….well….Wu-like. The entire album is kind of like an extension of everything the Wu had been known for: the streets, the stories and the grim darkness.

I don’t think Ghost could have started this album off any better. Get use to these three appearing together because this is the first of many.
