It's crazy how long he was working on Victory Lap!! This interview was in October 2013 and he said on 20:56 that he's been working on it already for a year and a half, which means Victory Lap was at least 6-7 years in the making!! No wonder why I could play the whole album from top to bottom every single day!!! Straight CLASSIC album!!!

I know the OTHER ”Rapper". Really hated " Rap niggas". Ermias was too raw and real... They all was around him... Undercover slithering hissing, hating him, instead of being GENUINE and authenticly welcoming him into his next LEVEL (of life. Industry wise...) They ALL WERE TOO BUSY HATING.. PERIOD.. IDGAF WHAT NOBODY SAY.. THEY ALL FUCKN EVIL SNAKES.. ESPECIALLY JAYZ KHALID, DAVID, AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHERS... PLUS THE LAPD AND SOME OF HIS OWN HOOD NIGGA'S 2.DAMN SHAME. I LITERALLY GET SICK ABOUT THIS EVERYDAY. I'M SO FUCKN ANGRY ABOUT ERMIAS'S ASSASINATION.. ALL INVOLVED SHE BE DEALT WITH AN EYE 4 AN EYE.. I HATE EM ALL..

It kills me how people are mad that he received "more" love or "fake" love or "bandwagon" love after he was taken from us but how can any of his new fans not fall in love with the same GREATNESS us day 1 fans fell in love with. I'm glad more of the world, THE WORLD was introduced to him and his mindset, his ambition, his dedication, his truth, his struggle, his realness, his heart, his MARATHON and I am personally, still this day, am honored to have seen his hard work manifest into his VICTORY LAP. Thank you new fans, because of you all and us a like...THE MARATHON CONTINUES

Just dropping a fast fact. Freestyles today do not mean off the top , coming out with rhymes right then and there . Freestyle today means the artist is free to do whatever. Spit any verse, and usually even choose the beat before hand. Rap battles have changed also, battles are now prewritten. Back when eminem was battling it was off the top , coming up with rhymes then and there. 90 percent of "freestyles" today that mainstream rappers do are written.

His music is flames, I used to listen to him back years. But honestly stopped listening to him for some reason, but when victory lap dropped and I got it, FIRE ALBUM! . His passing is horrible in everyway. We lost a REAL one.

If I'm with somebody and they kick a "freestyle" it'd better be off the top. If not then I don't wanna hear that bullsh*t. If it's written then say it's a written.
