Mr. Lif feat. Aesop Rock - "Success"
Listened to I Phantom the other day and damn that shit is dope. I've had it since it came out, but I think I may've listened to it once or twice and then it got lost in the mix. Thankfully I found it again and popped it in, because I should've been listening to this regularly for a while. This is my favorite track from the album as Lif breaks down getting a job, getting married, having a kid and then overworking to provide for a family he no longer knows due to the long hours he's working which then leads to divorce and having his son taken away from him. It's something that people go through all the time and it's a damn shame. Aesop's hook is terrific as well, "Daddy had a nametag that said Busy Worker/Mommy had a milk carton that said 'Missing Person'/John had a new baseball glove, but nobody to learn with/That's oil and water trying to mix on the same surface."
