    Anybody figure out what the Seasonal interludes refer to?

    Maybe the seasons of life? Spring being birth and winter being death? Also, has anybody played this thing backwards? Makes just as much sense as listening to it going forward.

    And Terrace Martin is a g.damn beast on the sax at the end of Body of Work. Makes me wanna dust my sax off and get my Charlie Parker going too.

    They Resurrect Over You

    ..then comes "Spring"

    The season of "rebirth" as the next track


    If you subscribe to the theory that this album is essentially a retelling of the story of Christ then that makes a whole helluva lot of sense

    I mean think about it ...look at all of the correlations and the song titles

    "The adoration of magi"
    "Madonna"
    "They resurrect over you"
    "Deliver...ence"
    "Mural"
    "Prisoner 1 & 2" (the two prisoners next Jesus during his crucifixion?"

    ? deep

    After multiple listens, there may be a possibility that Body of Work and Madonna could refer to Michael Young's mother. I don't know man. I'm winging it at this point. I do know people were saying there are parts of The Cool's story on here though.

    This whole album is like one big double/triple entendre. Smh...

    In one form or another. I haven't deciphered it yet. But if you do play this in reverse order, then you have three songs that are directly linked. No Scratches=tumultuous relationship.

    Little Death=the French refer to orgasms as 'little deaths'. Make up sex in the midst of a breakup?

    And Body of Work=which I really feel like is pregnancy. Especially considering the chorus, "Anatomy gonna be the death of me..." and how women used to die during pregnancy. And the bridge: "Closet full of bones, just don't try to put em back together... I'll just bite my tongue and wear it like the scarlet letter."

    Bones=The Cool. If you take all this into account, this could be referencing Michael's parents, and how he was doomed before he even arrived. Born to an unhappy mother and a father that never had the intention of being there.

    Damn im listening to this on my Pill, seems like he finally got it right with the production, if this ? came out after The Cool Lupe would be in a much better place.
    It doesnt drags like F&L II does thats quite good.
    Coming into this album with low expectations and got quite satisfied, i dont give a ? about Lupe's twitter beefs and ? , as long as he raps like this and delivers this type of sound he can talk ? for years.

    And Im positive the direction of this album changed once he couldn't get a release date. Cause he mentioned the "Drizzy's Law" "? " with Chris Brown, a Krit & Ross feature and mad other tracks that he dropped.

    Its got something to do with the Akira movie, Tetsuo is a character thats young and dumb thats pretty much a nobody 'till he gets power, then he ? it all up.

    Lupe went straight fire on an 8 minute track without cursing. I didn't even notice that he didn't curse once on Mural unless I missed one.

    Edit: I missed one
