Ab Soul Nibru Threats

Ab Soul is a Carson, California borned MC, singed to TDE, member of Black Hippy alongside Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. He has released two independent studio albums under TDE flag. The first was "Longterm Mentality" in 2011.In 2012 Mayday (one of Soul's nicknames) gave us his second one LP, entitled "Control System". Once I read review of Soul's LP, the critic put Ab somewhere between K.Dot and Schoolboy because he has the skills to make laid back tracks like Q connected with ability to effuse his emotions and interesting stories like Lamar. Soul has became one of my favourite "new wave" rappers.


"Terrorist Threats" is a single from Soulo's (his another nickname) "Control System". This tune is proving that Soul Brother Number Two (yes, yes...you already know that he has many nicknames, here Black Professor :) is explaining why he called himself Soul Brother no. 2) has razor sharp tongue and he's intelligent as well as open minded. Verses like this below clearly show it:


"...Dear Barack
I know you just a puppet but I'm giving you props
You lying to the public like it ain't nothing
And I love it, I hope it don't stop..."

He used a word "hope" and it's ironical because Obama was using "hope" as a leitmotiv in his presidential campaign. Music plus bars from Black Lip Bastard (I suppose that you already know who is it...), Danny Brown and Jhene Aiko's vocal gives a bit mystic and precariousness vibe. 






Nibiru is for me a totally crazy, dope track and I never heard something that you can even compare with it!!! Soul is spitting about ancient Sumerians and their gods - AnunnakisHere and here you can read theories about them.

"...this is my Anunnaki flow
this be my Anunnaki flow 
i got that Anunnaki flow..."

This bar obviously tells he has that gods flow and he is one of the best in the rap game. Minimalistic beat produced by JMSN fits perfectly to Ab's verses. You can take this track literally if you feel it that way but it can be also a metaphore of today's world where we are being manipulated by politics as they have totally different purposes than average people. In this interview he explains that he says some things to sparkle conversation, he is not saying that he knows the truth, he is looking for knowledge and answers though.
