Q. Allanz – Quindangered Species is a hardcore lyrical West Cost rap album from 2017 that got very much overlooked. But that’s ok since this is underground rap. The album has woke songs with heavy signs of consciousness such as World So Cold, Last NigHt, and Quindangered Species. World So Cold and Last NigHt are the highlights of this album.
World So Cold is one of those woke underground rap songs which sheds light on injustice, politics, police brutality, and racism. The song exposed cruelties of our cold world.
Jay Dee Tha 1 steps into the mic and lets the story be told during Verse 1. You think it’s going good, but it ain’t right. People worry about likes but they will never understand The bigger plan, the plot and the bigger picture. They will never understand their reality overall. Better open that book and get the reading scriptures. Cops killing kids and innocent people in these streets. Klan having rallies but they justifying the white sheets. Houston went under water. The president didn’t give a fuck. His first message to them was tell them good luck. I wish Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were here because we really need them. Sit these niggas down, feed them and really teach them freedom, the laws, the cause, and remember your actions. The storm’s right in front of us but we blinded by distractions.
Everyday it’s hard trying to walk a straight line when you’re on a curve. Or trying to ride your own lane because sucker wanna make you swerve. The game’s dirty. Every moment is like you’re getting served. It’s cold out here.
Power to the people. The people have the power to overcome any obstacle we might encounter. And fuck the president and his racist rhetoric. It’s best to stay alert because your so called friends aregoing through your ladies purse as they put the money first with no respect. That same nigga from your set. Look, it’s cold out here.
2Gz dissed former US president Donald Trump for his corrupt and racist rhetoric at the beginning of Verse 2. Mind you this song was written in 2016 and released in 2017. “Power to the people, to the people have the power/To overcome any obstacle we might encounter/Fuck the police, they ain’t ever brought us peace/And fuck the president and his racist rhetoric/Ol’ pompous prick, I still stand triumphant”
Q. Allanz has seen it all from selling pills to the crack pipes. Q. Allanz has seen it all from staying in the streets everyday and living the fast life. Heeven got into a shoot-out with some enemies last night. His world keeps getting darker. It’s hard to smile when your heart goes black. He is trying to keep his composure but the bottle keeps getting empty.
These lyrics exposed racism, injustice, and police brutality.
You think it’s going good, but it ain’t right
Pressure breaks pipes, but it creates a man
They worry about likes, they will never understand
The bigger plan, the plot and the bigger picture
Better open that book and get the reading scriptures
Cops killing kids and innocent people in these streets
Klan having rallies but they justifying the white sheets
Houston went under water, president give a fucc
His first message to them was tell ’em good lucc
I wish Malcolm and Martin was here ‘cuz we really need ’em
Sit these niggas down, feed ’em and really teach ’em
The freedom, the laws, the cause and remember your actions
The storm’s right in front of us, we blinded by distractions
Power to the people, to the people have the power
To overcome any obstacle we might encounter
Fuck the police, they ain’t ever brought us peace
Everyday it’s hard, trying to walk a straight line when you’re on a curve
Or trying to ride your own lane ‘cuz succas wanna make you swerve
The game’s dirty, every moments like you’re getting served
I guess it’s time to pull the mask down and purge
Because it’s cold out here (it’s cold out here)
It’s cold out here (it’s cold out here)
Homie, it’s cold out here (honey, it’s cold out here)
Hour after hour, month after month, year after year
These were the quotable lyrics that were used in the song.
2Gz in a buccet, fucc it
Pull up on the precinct and bucc it, fucc it
Fuck Uncle Sam, I ain’t changing my grammar
And tell the judge he can drink piss with Lipton tea before he slams the hammer
Mentally, I’m trying to cure these unmarked scars
And keep a low profile around these unmarked cars
Nowadays, you can’t tell who’s around you wearing a wire
The song also uses some dark one-liners.
‘Cuz I know the words to Cop Killer, but I don’t know the Star Spangled Banner
It’s hard to smile when your heart goes black
And tell the judge he can drink piss with Lipton tea before he slams the hammer
Ol’ pompous prick, I still stand triumphant
Q. Allanz explains how things go down in the hood on his song Last NigHt. The first thing that comes to your mind when you think about the hood is drama and wickedness due to misunderstanding, misconception, and ignorance. The hood ain’t nothing nice.
The first thing that comes to your mind when you think about the hood is drama and wickedness due to misunderstanding, misconception, and ignorance. The hood ain’t nothing like some dominoes, pool, or some dice. But every now and then, the reallas like to move under the light. It’s druggies night out. So you know what that means. Everyone’s splashed from head to toe and the old schools is looking clean.
It don’t matter if it’s Jheri curls, braided, or nappy. Fades, waves, or relaxers. When the night comes the hood’s gonna get it craccin’. Be ready for action from indoors to the parking lot.
Q. Allanz has got his eye on that one girl right at the bar. If her love is like kickboxing, then he is willing to spar. Women are staring at his clique. They know who they are. Homies up in the club ain’t bench warmers, bruh. They all stars. The essence is excellent. The room is smelling like Hennessy and cinnamon. They’re gonna do the nasty things that they did last night. That’s right. Come and dip with gangsters.
Q. Allanz is at the spot feeling good. Something like a mechanic. These haters be causing depression. Try it if you wanna. You gonna be the first counting your blessings. But he didn’t come here for no ruckus or no drama. He’s just trying to find some propers to get naked in the sauna. The mixologist got him off the Gin and the tonic. Dirty thoughts that he’s thinking are going off while he is speaking. And ladies, if you got some extra friends, then send them in.
They just love it when the sun sets. From Jefferson Street to Figueroa Street, it feels like the Caribbean. Nothing but good vibes around. Who doesn’t want those days? So hit the dance floor and keep the radio on play. Thought you seen it all. Well you ain’t seen nothing yet. It’s finna get just as hot as the summer gets.
I rate this album 5/5*****!
