5. Heart Of A Lion (KiD CuDi Theme Music)

dz: its DOPE 4 a end for the summer. ..
& a great end.
(reminds me of my Libbit Libbit)
Ill go out on a strong lim & sayCLASSIC.
4 the fact that the concept was soooo well executed.
the feel of 808's 2 the 10th power
of personal self-refection
cant be over looked at something less then.
The over all flow of the album as ALBUM, & NOT just songs put
2gether is a GRAND story. (how it should be done)
whatever you THOUGHT it was gonna sounds like.. .
its sooooooooo way oppsite, "But strangly exactly what i wanted" ~illy L"
P.S.
I will be picking up some of the good good
and a few canvases lol to really explore this cd! yippy!
((me2!))
Common was the perfect choice as a narrator...
his words were like a venti cup of coffee to my day!
over-n-out,
illy L
thanks illy
;)
