So some things he said here really jump out but the beauty of what laycon does is stringing together basically simple words and sentences and arranging them in a way that gives it complexity. Genius. Shall we begin? https://twitter.com/itsLaycon/status/1380483155677822976
"Life is a race and I no they chase clout" if you listen properly to his pronunciation that is what he said. Hybrid of know they/ no dey. He's saying trolls chase clout, he doesn't. So keep chasing him while he's chasing goal. Link it to "spit it out".
He continues with this word play. I dropped wagwan(wag-one), double barrel.....triple splits....quadruple it. 1,2,3,4. Puns that are intentional with a message too! Agba!
Now the end, goat scheme. "This is how I DRIVE the conversations, this is GO time, expectations been RAISED, got the CHOPPER( helicopter). The literal meaning is great, underlying one is super. Cars are driven, choppers are flown. So he is going to a higher level.
Plus no matter the expectations(raised meaning up like sky high) he will exceed them( helicopters fly)
This is SHOW time, ALBUM mode time. His album is of songs but albums can be of pictures too, when you look at pictures in album mode it's a show reel. Shall we begin is going to be a masterpiece basically, he painted a story with music.
He gave us the quotes/philosophical lines(funny how I taste bitter but I'm still the one in your mouth), the bars/wor(stakes through abreast( a breast) to milkshakes. The puns(1,2,3,4 as stated earlier) wordplay. The transition( from they watch us grow to shall we begin to brag)
The modulations for emphasis( at fourth house to funny how I taste bitter part). The message, which is he is a great rapper, he is successful and haters can't do anything about it, iCONS are wonderful, his album is going to be amazing, go cop it! Shall we begin?
@itsLaycon is the complete rapper and a great musician, that is the summary of this thread. Spread the word!
