Because Corporate America wants to dumb people down with Techno-Pop and Step-N-Fetch rap with NO SUBSTANCE. Big ups to EA Sports for putting this on Madden '08 to begin with.
@truthspeaks01 it wasn't really troll bait so much as an opinion, but if I was a troll I would feel accomplished if anyone responded to any of my comments. Thanks for the support.
@Doobigum2 Of course Jay Z has more depth....thats why he's still not stopped talking about money cars and hoes in 75% of his songs since 1996? Popularity has nothing to do with talent in this business....Lupe, Nas and Pharoahe would be on another level if that was the case.
@FutureWasYesterday haha cool story, obviously you don't know much about Jay-z's music. "I dumb down for my audience, And double my dollars, They criticize me for it, Yet they all yell "Holla"." He has deep music, you haven't heard it. According to you 25% must be deep? lmao
This song is so good. It makes me wanna' go workout. It makes me wanna go to work and bust my ass. It makes me wanna' appreciate my family and friends. It makes me feel good about myself. Sounds corny but that's real talk... Real music...
@spankMAbooTAY thats the Eye of Horus. and in ancient egypt it was worn as jewelry to ensure safety and health to whoever wore it. dont get too caught up in the illuminati while the rest of your life passes you by. jus listen to great music.
pharoahe is one of my favorite rappers ever. i only wish he had more than 3 studio albums out. still haven't listened to war, but im sure it's dope. he's probably the best "conscious" rapper out today.
@spankMAbooTAY are you retarded!?!? Pharoahe Monch has been around since the mid 90s..ever heard of organized konfusion!? probably not, what is it with you idiots and the illuminati!?!? like some global cabal of devil worshipers would give a fuck about hip hop music...
I Have The Official Music Video for Pharoahe Monch song 'Black Hand Side' featuring Styles P off his latest album. Be sure to like, comment & Share the video as much as you can. Visit My channel for the video or use this link:
last sunday i saw him live, he sang this track with showtime, it was off the muthafuckin hook!! too many years waiting for pharoahe to come to Chile... Now i can die in peace...
Monch should give lessons to all the new commercial ass "rappers"... hard to see real hip-hop like this nowadays. Respect........... LONG LIVE HIP-HOP
This man is a true artist. His passion show through his facial expressions -- his lyrics are so much more than words, and each syllable hits home. Mad respect.
this rapper such a underrated rapper,monch is better than eminem,drake,wiz khalifa and other rappers that the radio plays the radio should play more of this song on the radio seriously this is real rap
Monch underrated? My dude, your uneducated. I was at RTB when he performed this song, in 100 degree weather on the brink of passing out....shit, even had to dance with an oaf so i could move her just enough to see Monch. Completely worth it.
...I'm the poetical pastor, slave to my label but I own my masters...Still get it poppin' without artist and repertoire, because Monch is a Monarch only minus the A&R...
"Book is an ovary, the pages I lust to turn/my pens the penis, when I write, the ink is the sperm/Desire, the fire that ignites the torch that burns/It's not rocket science this is easy to learn/My mics a gavel, when I talk, courts adjourn/ Respect, even if you was ashes you couldn't earn (urn)/I embody antibiotics you are infected with germs/Raps fatally ill please get concerned"
If it's one thing EA knows how to do, it's expose the fans of their titles to good, quality music/artists. And I NEVER would listen to Monch or any other similar artists till I heard this song on Madden.
@OPL21stJS Damn near every song this dude has done is at least worth checking out. He barely puts out music, so it's an event when he actually drops something. Cop the three Organized Konfusion albums. The first two are classics; the third one is great. Add Monch's Internal Affairs, this album, a ton of freestyles (check out his appearance on Lyricist Lounge vol. 1), and "Mayor" off Soundbombing 2. (Both of those comps are classics themselves, btw.)
hell yea i was there that concert was the shit! RATM, Wu, Pharaoh, Immortal Tech, Public Enemy, Most Def, The Roots... BEST Rock the Bells line up EVER.
