@do0rkn0b that's not true. The word convert simply means to change. Plans, policies, system of measure, it doesn't matter. In this instance, changing from a believer to a non believer is a conversion. Therefore it works.
i once heard this track on the bobitto the barber show cmfamalam on wkcr 89.9f ny that i think had can ox & jean grae talking about some necrophilia on her ex-lover who she kills...mad sick...anybody know what i'm talking about!?
Amazing track, hipnotic beat . Everyone is shining very well on this track. Mr.lif's verse is mad positive. Jean Grae's not so much, yet untouchable fire. All around classic track.
Jean Grae always seems to have epic verses on other peoples songs. I got one of her albums and for the most part it wasn't that great. But her verse here is dope.
i agree she was sick on Talib Kweli's Eardrum (Say Something) and on Masta Ace's Disposable Arts (Hold U) but her solo album isn't as good as her performences as a guest MC
She's a "Short n Sweet" lyricist. As long as she doesn't have to think of the overall idea, and is directed to a specific place, she'll rip. Not saying it's a bad thing, but it does limit her.
If you haven't heard "Because They Made It That Way", than you must hear that one. It's the only Lif song that I really really love. Universal is dope too, but still no comparision.
wow, i was thinking of something to say about this "It's the meaning of life" is perfect. props. and its not just lif either, we are fortunate enough to have the talents of Jean Grae, too.
i'll probably listen to this on 12/21/2012

Most of Lif is amazing. Very life affirming. 'Success' is the best. Tells you your job is bullshit and you should focus on true things in life.

That whole trilogy of tracks (Success, daddy dearest and the now) is fucking fantastic.
The whole album is great, even better than Mo' Mega, I think.

"I'm at peace with my life, cause knowin' you is divine, you made me see eternal beauty in a world that was dying."
That's why you got to love Lif. Find someone that makes you feel that way. It's the meaning of life...

I know it sounds gay, but it's true unless you have kids-finding someone that you love more than yourself. Will really give your life meaning...
