People who can enjoy Roc's music, are people who are able to see and appreciate the artistic and beautiful in the simplistic/minimalistic/monotone expression. Which is important. I understand why some would want more experimentation sometimes, I do so myself. But then I go listen to OTHER artists. I appreciate his music for what it is, for its intention. It's all about mood I guess. Personally I can't think of any other artists, who can make the slow flow without energy work as perfectly as Roc. It's like he draws you into a 70's gangster flick, and make you go along with him, driving around town, watching things unfold. So dope!
u nailed it but speaking for myself, I’ll add that Roc matches good taste and mood with rawness and delivery, while being gritty and quite experimental both wordplay and sample wise (who has the same flow and identity in the game, honestly?)
"You a byproduct of guys who grind and buy product, black cards lyin inside Prada wallets Black cars glide like flying carpets The 40 lay you out like a starfish" INCREDIBLE.
"2-5's flare/A glare through your Cartier eye wear/And knock your newborn out of the high chair" Damn but that might be the coldest line I ever heard. I been bumping this album non stop for the last three years.
I can't even put into words exactly what it is about Roc Marci that makes him so unique, I just know that he is that - unique. There's no one that does it quite like him, he's in his own lane, with his own sound, with his own vision. Cryptic bars, the delivery, the flows like butter, the visual story-telling. The subtle mannerisms, everything unique and sublime.
So cool how he rose from Flipmode to become his own brand/movement. Shit is sick. When Marcberg dropped, he became a force to be reckoned with... Salute!
Classic !!!! Sean Price put me on to Roc and then Roc put me on to KA and Griselda and then Griselda put me on to Benny and then Benny put me on to 38 and Trust Mob and 38 put me on to Eto, Klass Murda, Che-noir, Great Rap music flows in the same waters !!!
Yea I got hip by Conway and alchemist LULU then Griselda then boldy roc trust like 38 planet Asia bsf where heem is crazy el Camino crimeapple list goes on and on
You are right my friend. Honestly no one into today's industry comes close. Very debatable statement by all means but I've never had anyone where you have to remind it to catch what he says. His wordplay is light-years ahead of most.
2019 if this ain't the flyest shit thus far... Feel like Camp Lo all in one. The boy so cold so smooth so street just dat hip hop n staying true to himself n style. Gone head sir n do what ya gotta. Peace n Blessings to all.
Brolyrulz to each his own but! Canibus can’t hold a candle to this dude. He is an absolute master. I honestly can’t think of many other people that even come close... he is my all time fav but he is, in my opinion, the best hip hop lyricist ever. Just my opinion though, of course. I have always found Canibus kind of corny.
The most distinct track in the Roc Mar catalogue imo. My 2nd fav is a track he’s featured on MARS. I could play those two joints all damn day and never get tired.

@@blockpartyvintage1568 how do you know?
One of the most memorable opening lines of all time
I'm late asf, but his 76 intro line "Quattroporte slide off through a time warp" is also insanity.
That opening line was nutts🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@M.Andretti94I prefer The Prophecy honestly. It's my favorite Roc verse too.
"Collect my thoughts, My mind moves at warp speed"
Knowledge the Pirate been with Roc for a min. I appreciate their solid friendship 💯
This is one of the calmest verses from a dude that's going absolutely ballistic on the mic. This is amazing.
Faccs preach my G dudes insane wit it
silent assasin!
He’s dope AF
This comment was on point my brother.
Facts!
I said it once and I'll say it again, Roc Marciano might be the GOAT SERIOUSLY!!
Hes on the DOOM mount Rushmore of being so artistic he doesn't belong on lists just enjoy it
Real talk... Far too slept on!!
Lol might ? Ahah nah he is the Goat 🤝

INCREDIBLE.
Right?! Dude is a wizard yo
U can literally lay out any bar from this as a quote lol

I literally read this saw this as soon as he said it, my 1st time listening
this is why I don't listen to the radio.... gems like this don't get played. he's the truth
75% of ppl wouldn't even understand what he be spittin
Roc he is on another level
"That's pimpish, pass the mack 10 to my apprentice... while i get a pen and pad to print this..."
So many gems on this one track
the illest
Bro I had to pause the video when I heard this line🤣🤣
That bar was incredible. I was stuck when I first heard it way back when! Lol
The drum sound of this beat is incredible.
Seriously though
Its kinda muffled and the melody is so loud and stunning its perfect 🌊🌊
How is this 12 years ago? Madness. Still a gem though
The most underrated of all time? A true OG in this Hip Hop game. long live Roc. peace
The video is not even a million
@Jose Miguel i feel you but Roc is in his own league
@@beep6641 he’s far from underrated. If u know hip hop you know roc’s worth. One of the kings of the east.
@Jose Miguel Ibargüen AGREE !! they’ve always held their own on every track. They’re both true OG’s in this hip hop game.
@@beep6641 he’s not a part of Griselda...
Conway, Westside, Benny
one of the greatest rap songs of all time
Only legends come back to this track!
"2-5's flare/A glare through your Cartier eye wear/And knock your newborn out of the high chair" Damn but that might be the coldest line I ever heard. I been bumping this album non stop for the last three years.
11 years and still big ups to RoCMarC 💪💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Old head's listen and appreciate Roc for the soulful, timeless sample selections. It's old skool with intelligent gangster bar's. ❤️🌹🌹🌹
Dude not only spits wisdom, but he also produces. Shit, thats combination for pure greatness!!!
Roc marciano started the hip hop wave again, he's the pioneer of the new era of MC's. His style is slick

Roc got that I ain't done with being better then them kinda flow. Dude is ridiculous with the wordplay.
^Correct
Timeless flow...I just saw a Busta Rhymes interview speaking on Dude.. heard 1 song and now I'm on it!!💪🏾💪🏾💯

This man is so fiya bro... got his own aura about him that’s mysterious
If Method Man took a chill pill, he'd be this ❤️❤️🇰🇪
👌👌👌👌
Buda naona tuko na taste same..... Manze huyu msee huwa slept on sana
The beginning of this track is always gold. It's like everything coming to life for the first time. It's like waking up from the matrix.
This is my first time hearing about this dude and Roc Marciano is pretty dope. Long live all of the true MCs.
"The 40 lay you out like a star fish".
This song is a certified timeless classic, Marci has came along way from this.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
So glad i found Roc, better late than never.. master wordsmith and always on a dope beat
Roc Marciano top 10 lyricist/original flow combo,no arguments
It's like Griselda before Griselda without the drug talk.
Godfather of the sound
Without the drug talk??? Huh
@@bamboozle6861 he is talking about how Roc's style is similar to something Griselda made before they were well known minus the drug slanging lyrics.
@@skipfuego6339 thing is Roc Marci has a LOT of drug talk
The first line bout coke LOL
NIGGA SAID "THE 40 LAY U OUT LIKE STARFISH"!!!
brnsktingdieskting18 that niggah on the floor when he says that tho

The visual of dude on the floor made that bar even harder no cap
Patrick
‘Hollow tops fly through ya melanin’. Probably one of the hardest lines I’ve ever heard 😅🔥🔥🔥

A glare through your Cartier eyewear
I find myself returning to these two lines all the time. Multisyllabic magic
This is 20 yrs old!!! Black Thought has kept it consistent and innovative from the jump. He's never left my top 5!!
I come back here often. This gourmet Hip Hop. Only for the finest of taste.
"People need to see The Uniqness"- Light one up!! Long Live Roc Marciano !!
A real artist, he covers every little detail when it comes to his lyrics and beats.
Still here 2024
This man is an Elite Swordsman, SALUTE!
I been listening to this man everyday for 8 years straight Hov don’t have nothing on him he up there with DOOM
I been saying he the 🐐
The fire in Roc's eyes is unwaivering... ... ...
this shit goes right over most peoples heads.
you a byproduct of guys that grind & buy product.
cheeseboiga FACTS
Ooooooweeeeee. That thang SLAP bruh .....checking in from Pittsburg CA all the way to Reno Nevada
How the hell did I miss this track?! Damn this is flames. I learned about this guy thru Conway & Westsidegunn. This shit is needed in hip hop.
I love Reloaded, Pimpire Strikes Back, the Bitter Dose
DvidFilms thas how I found him too. Been hearing his name for 5 years tho
I learned about Conway and westsidegunn through this guy
Roc is one of today's greatest. The man is untouchable!
A classic that so many will never dig deep enough to hear.
Marciano has always been a beast
Facts thunn
WHOS HERE IN 2021? THIS GUY
what got me hooked on Roc is the collab he did wit Apollo Brown Lonely and Cold 👑🔥🔥
ok it's like this Roc can just straight flow. PERIOD! this is what we need on the airwaves.
ROC is nice on the mic!!!! Shit is smooth AF!
Grimey Elegance 🥂✈️
Roc is literally the best mc ever.. there no boundaries.. he never crow bar lyrics it verses. He is just immaculate.. better than anyone ever
Canibus is better
@@Brolyrulz1 no, he not.
@@chromegnats how so lol, canibus goes way deeper with his poetry than roc... undeniable dude
Brolyrulz to each his own but! Canibus can’t hold a candle to this dude. He is an absolute master. I honestly can’t think of many other people that even come close... he is my all time fav but he is, in my opinion, the best hip hop lyricist ever. Just my opinion though, of course. I have always found Canibus kind of corny.
I agree roc is super nice and one of the best and top 5 MCs but Canibus and Cambatta he’ll have competition wit
One of if not the best percussive, rhythmic flows ever.
I ain’t gon lie this guy almost paints a picture better than Nas…if not better sometimes.
The most distinct track in the Roc Mar catalogue imo. My 2nd fav is a track he’s featured on MARS. I could play those two joints all damn day and never get tired.
Dam him in prodigy on this track wow would be 🔥🔥🔥 rip p
I respect all hip hop artists, but this man right here..., he deserves way more than respect. That’s the GOAT gangsta song.
"Hoes lay, bread on me, like deli meat." When you think about this line its wild.
Literally 😂
proof the man has drums in some of his beats. dude pioneered the underground imo
Sneakers are literally from Italy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Leaned on the cane thought it was muscular dystrophy
These old dudes let the hoes choose. Your shoes is overused
I love this dude!!!🔥
Timeless
Crazy how the Lox were considered the underdogs. They washed the Set. Still coming back to this Verzuz years later.
The bars the imagery this is a masterpiece I might make an animated vid for this
Do it fam
Would be dope
The best mc doing it out of Ny
hollow tips fly through your melanin....got damn!
maaan I sleept on this cat for real, but its never too late to go down that rabbit hole
I will forever play this song atleast 2 twice a month💯
Gotta play it again!
Ha-ha-happy holidays.
