What The Verse Episode 3: JID

Tune in as I break down one of JID’s most powerful bars from his highly anticipated album God Does Like Ugly.

#What The Verse? is a deep dive into the art of lyricism. In each episode, we take a single bar from some of hip hop’s most prolific rappers and break it down beyond the surface—unpacking the layers, the hidden meanings, and the cultural weight behind the words. This isn’t just about what was said, but why it was said, and what it reflects about the artist, the culture, and the times. If you love hip hop and want to see how one line can hold a world of meaning, this is the series for you!
