Let's get this out of the way. If you're already heated at the title of "Shaq Carried Kobe," a highlight from Domo Genesis' Aren't U Glad You're U mixtape, your anger should not be directed at the Odd Future rapper. "I ain't got a blunt of weed or even matches for a phony / Make me laugh like saying 'Shaq Carried Kobe,'" he raps in his opening verse, burying the lede and revealing that he actually sits on the other side of the debate. That's just one charismatic line in a song full of them, as Domo explores the pockets of the warm Evidence beat before passing things to Phonte, who's as sharp as ever: "The black mirror effect / At my own neck with a glass shard / I'm ready to set it / I'm Kim-Jong in a rap squat / Lookin' at the switch / Like mask on, fuck it mask off / Either learn the game or you will end up a mascot." By the time the two are done trading bars, they're forced to let the beat ride out for a full minute.
Aren't U Glad You're U is produced entirely by Evidence. You can listen to the full project here.
Quotable Lyrics:
Me and all my dogs
Flirting with that euthanasia
Some niggas caught the wave
And some n***as caught cases
But you know the game
Hardly ever in control
Even though you playin'
Couple options got on hold
But just know I'm weighing
And you ain't livin' out your songs
You're just known for sayings
