no, no publicity. it doesn't need to get mainstream n stuff. - he's a god, a marvelous artist. this song, this album - just beyond words; intelligent, poetic and in depth. i like the metaphors, similes and arrangements... :)
@AtticAurel exactly, those who need to hear his music will hear his music.....this type of music searches and finds people.....mainstream is not needed!
i didnt even know he had a new ablum out!! was waiting 4the longest since 1st born second which is my fav ablum that will never grow old...n this ablum sounds like it will b the same way!! so feeln BILAL!!! loving this HipHop Soul Music!!
I got the blessing and opportunity to see and hear him perform this song love at SOB's in NYC a couple of weeks ago and when I say magnificent.... mmm
the significance is that this album replicates another album cover by Krs One called By All Means Necessary where he is holding an Uzi and looking out the peering out a window. That album cover was a copy of Malcom X's By Any Means Necessary speech and album cover where he is holding a rifle and looking out a window in the same fashion. The greater significance in my estimation is that the guns have been replaced by a mic which shows the understanding that Music Is the weapon of the future....
Um, not really. The album is called Airtight's Revenge, and he's ssinging songs into a red velvet drape....it's songs sung to women and relationships with them.
@Snoogdoogler what are you like 15? Why dont you do a little research before you answer some shit you dont know BTW the question was rhetorical because I know Bilal and it's exactly what i said it was SMH
@orgnice yeah.... lol you're right bro... no need mentioning... the kid step out his light radius on that... I wish kids were a little more aware on things like that.... keep posting your science... isnt he even dressed how Malcom was?
I saw him live in NY at the album release party... He seriously had everyone in the place moving their heads. This was one of the new songs he performed.
Still love this song...
