There are two rap albums I must have heard at least 50 times it's Ab-Soul's Control system and Quelle Chris Being you is Great I wish I Could be You more often. They both represent the shed of the old skin of dualism and the one represent the blackened cocoon of the brood, the other is the bloom and rebirth into the two winged butterfly, two wings which is the mitosis of your mind, the completion of yourself.
I remember listening to Quelle Chris album back to back straight for a week and whoooo aree youuu? And who do you belong to? I belong to myself, I rock this album no cookies you want an explanation you could book me, listening to these floozies, you niggas are mere chattells of the system, Bromance? When I was bumping these tapes you were laughing now you want join me on this pedestal, it laughable.
But control system met me in the university bugging out bussing to school is enough for one to get to Pineal gland the drawn back replayed
And these two albums changed my life and still did so recently, one gave me my eyes one cemented my braggadocio.
They stand as paragons of conscious rap and abstract rap respectively, but what really is Abstract rap, it's just albums that are too intelligent for the average listener reference filled and for god level hearing
Ab-Soul control system will be 13 years old today. Quelle album is getting to 7 years
To have your album stand the test of time and still hold its own against the tidal release is a testament of the amount of hardwork put into the craft and effort... Effort will never betray you.
When control system could be describe as the gateway album Queller is the tugging chrysalis one is the dark cocoon the contemplative brood and mind justle The other is the affirmation the golden two winged or rather two faced butterfly of assured flight.

And when you get to the level where you fuck with yourself and know that it was all a dream never happened, Life is what you make of it, but when finally find understanding with the cerebral homonculus inside, you can brave whatever might seem,
Being you is great you can only get to you when you free your mind from the control system and win the fight in this war for your mind.
