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 cards 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.
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
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.
I got Lamborghini dreams/Nissan nightmares/of movin white/my ice is cool as the night air/2-5s flair a glare through you cartier eye wear/n knock ya new born outta the high chair" ...WHAT DID HE JUST SAY....goddamn b
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.
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.
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.
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.
all rounded rapper/artist this man is cruisin in his own lane doing the damn thang watchin all the other BS !!! salute player!! real rappin shyt fo shizzo!! respect from Nor.California ...
Been hearing about this Dude Roc but just started checking out his music. This dude is taking the artform serious. Got some catching up to do. Im a 90's Hip-Hop addict but this is dude is using that same formula from that era. Dope beats and Dope lyrics
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 💯

"You a byproduct of guys who grind and buy product, black cards lyin inside Prada wallets
Black cards glide like flying carpets

INCREDIBLE.
Right?! Dude is a wizard yo
U can literally lay out any bar from this as a quote lol
This was Allah's wish
wait I dont get this one (except for the starfish line)
I literally read this saw this as soon as he said it, my 1st time listening
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 🤝

The drum sound of this beat is incredible.
Seriously though
Its kinda muffled and the melody is so loud and stunning its perfect 🌊🌊
"You just a pawn on the chess board, I move pieces, on squares like Louis sneakers" did this nigga just punchline the punchline… that was crazy lol

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
"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 💪💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Only legends come back to this track!
Roc got that I ain't done with being better then them kinda flow. Dude is ridiculous with the wordplay.
^Correct
Dude not only spits wisdom, but he also produces. Shit, thats combination for pure greatness!!!
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!
Old head's listen and appreciate Roc for the soulful, timeless sample selections. It's old skool with intelligent gangster bar's. ❤️🌹🌹🌹
Roc marciano started the hip hop wave again, he's the pioneer of the new era of MC's. His style is slick
I’ll say it again….this is one of the best Hip Hop tracks I’ve heard in my years of being a true head!!
this nikka is like one of the select few that give me hope for hip hop
Timeless flow...I just saw a Busta Rhymes interview speaking on Dude.. heard 1 song and now I'm on it!!💪🏾💪🏾💯
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 !!!

"The 40 lay you out like a star fish".
I just listen to roc...he the truth his flow like no other...i enjoy his heat...facts..
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
this shit goes right over most peoples heads.
you a byproduct of guys that grind & buy product.
cheeseboiga FACTS
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.
Two fives flare
A glare through your Cartier eyewear
I find myself returning to these two lines all the time. Multisyllabic magic
This song is a certified timeless classic, Marci has came along way from this.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I come back here often. This gourmet Hip Hop. Only for the finest of taste.

2019i still come here for bars
@@williammoore7367 Werd!
true.
Night air sounded like “Nike air” hence the 2 5s right after that
‘Hollow tops fly through ya melanin’. Probably one of the hardest lines I’ve ever heard 😅🔥🔥🔥
"People need to see The Uniqness"- Light one up!! Long Live Roc Marciano !!
NO BULLSHIT IT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE BEST UNDERGROUND ALBUMS OF THE YEAR I THINK.
10 years down the line Marci is goated for this shxt bro

Von Pea of Tanya Morgan
Yusef Siyei Hes right, the Best Emcee out of NY right now without a doubt...
pliskin125 just nope no one compares with Roc Marciano
The fire in Roc's eyes is unwaivering... ... ...
Respect from Poland
what got me hooked on Roc is the collab he did wit Apollo Brown Lonely and Cold 👑🔥🔥
A real artist, he covers every little detail when it comes to his lyrics and beats.
1:29 “The 40 spread u out like a starfish “ - don’t do em like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2023 still so fire
Marciano has always been a beast
Facts thunn
This man is an Elite Swordsman, SALUTE!
The 40 lay you out like a starfish 🔥🔥
A classic that so many will never dig deep enough to hear.
Still here 2024
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.
One of if not the best percussive, rhythmic flows ever.
Crazy how the Lox were considered the underdogs. They washed the Set. Still coming back to this Verzuz years later.
I respect all hip hop artists, but this man right here..., he deserves way more than respect. That’s the GOAT gangsta song.
Long live Roc Marciano. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤💯
7:54am Monday august 22 2022 and this song still 🔥
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
ROC is nice on the mic!!!! Shit is smooth AF!
ok it's like this Roc can just straight flow. PERIOD! this is what we need on the airwaves.
one of the best hip hop track I've heard recently. Arch Druids + Roc: magic combo
Roc is one of today's greatest. The man is untouchable!
proof the man has drums in some of his beats. dude pioneered the underground imo
Timeless
The bars the imagery this is a masterpiece I might make an animated vid for this
