Murs 3:16 9th Edition- And this is for

[MrLurkk]

all those damn spic looking brown smellin white niggahs be loving murs.

[rebelsbaseballizbom]

the whole racial thing reminds me of "White Privilege" by Macklemore. same concept, only from the perspective of a white guy. including the references to what happened to rock, and how the same thing is happening to hip hop.

[willum202]

i love that murs keeps ish real man. not too many dudes out there can keep it real like that.

[Wilaaaaaay]

[MrDJKaaz]

this guy is tha illest !!

[alexdelgiudice1]

i know what he's saying...

[salrwe]

AND THIS IS FOR-THE 2 DISLIKES

[itchin4scratches]

there is no race, mannn even saying black or white is ignorant. for real. get that shit out of your head guys

[nancycakes5]

"Why would you listen to murs's black ass."

[rokaij0991]

murs speaks the truth.

[tab1293]

don't black people like this realize that them rapping about how much worse they have it than white people is a double standard and they are only adding more to the race controversy? just because your black and i'm white does not mean that you have gone through more struggle than I have. why do we even have to classify rap as black people music why cant it just be music?

[MyJunior1975]

@tab1293 How is it a double standard? It's called reality- a sad reality, at that. If you know anything about American history, race played an intregal part of everything- including music. Every genre of music that was created by Black people was frowned upon, dismissed as not being music, or worse, called "jungle music"...until White people were doing the same music and getting respected for it. Now, that is the real double standard, if you look at it realistically.

[rokaij0991]

@tab1293 I have to say, as a white person, that I really fucking hate it when, every time a black person speaks one word about the shit that black people go through in this country, for no other reason than they are black in a country that is full of racism against them, white people scream and bitch and moan about "double standard" and "why do we have to classify" etc. What white people don't realize is that this country was built on double standards, classification and division of humans,

[rokaij0991]

@rokaij0991 and every other bad thing white people sometimes accuse black people of doing to them 9whether truwe or not), as well as every single kind of social, psychological, economic, emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse you can imagiine, as well as many you can't, and (read closely) A LOT OF THIS SHIT STILL GOES ON TO THIS VERY DAY, every day. Go read about it, observe it, or for that matter talk to an actual black person about it. White people have the privilege of not

[rokaij0991]

@rokaij0991 having to experience this racism, precisely because of the nature of this racism. But if you are black in America, you have to acknowledge it in your life because it is a real issue that affects you and the quality of your life. Black people often don't let on in front of white people all the shit they go through, out of pride or politeness or because white people might take it the wrong way. But it is the reality, and to try and deny it is to worsen the problem. Again, I am white.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

@tab1293 Because it is. Rock was,jazz was, Blues was.

[thiessen35]

I cant relate to his messages, but his voice really vibes with these beats..

[Manzilla19]

Real message! Murs is so dope because he speaks nothing but truth.

[Graduation99]

He's not dissing white people in that second verse, he's just saying that white people can't understand black culture or struggles no matter how much they listen to rap or his music because there's a difference between living the life of a black person and listening to the music black people created itself.

[zgp92]

murs flow isnt the best, hes not the flashiest, not the sexiest, not the most popular. So why do I love him? BECAUSE MURS NEVER LIES TO ME, so many rappers claim to be the truth, but murs is one of the only ones telling it.

[jumpingonglass]

This is real music....not all blacks are ignorant

[NitsuaNaed]

"even if I tried I could never blend in to societies mainstream american dream" - wow Murs, explains me perfectly.....this is REAL hip hop folks.

[elcumballo]

GOO MURS TAS REAL HIP HOP RIP LILWAYNE

[MoManny]

A white boy put me on to Murs.

[person19918]

for me murs's music isn't just a phase. i am blessed with a nice family and life, but my best friend lives in the projects with an alcoholic dad. i can appreciate what murs is saying because i spend most of my time with him and i don't live in LA and don't pretend to but i take in his raps like they're messages that i can only try to appreciate. i don't pretend that i've had his same expiriences though

[MrThan3]

i'm white and i listen to murs's music...

[WillMillion15]

@MrThan3 What's your point? Most of his fans are white.

[Supernatowns]

@MrThan3 and @MoManny .....  Maybe you would understand his message if you listened to the whole song and actually thought about it. He rips on black and white, but then shows his understanding in his last verse.

[longng]

@Supernatowns i agree with you, ,for the people who are getting their feelings hurt, u guys need to listen to the whole and and the very last verse before u WHITE PEOPLE start CRYING OMG HES BAGGING ON WHITE PEOPLE OOOOMG.

murs and 9th . wow.

[MoManny]

@Supernatowns what the hell are u babblin about? My post has nothing to do with yours.

[djilltactics]

"But i want everyone aware of what is going on,Yes it is jazz, yes it is the blues and yes its the exact same way they did rock, but i refuse to watch the same thing happen to hip-hop, i refuse to watch that bullshit"...

Thats the realest statement in this song....Slowly but surely its happening though....If you all dont know what he is talking about do your research...

[spdaile]

this song is a thinker. i always want to chat with murs when i hear it. i may not have had a rough upbringing, but i don't front like i did, either. regardless, it's not a phase for me to transend. 80% of the music i've bought in my life is by black people. yeah, i bought Atmosphere, Eyedea, Classified, Aesop, and Eminem, too, but that's black music being done by white people. i agree w/ you Murs, you deserve what they all have, but don't forget, Dre, Jay, 'Ye, and 50 have that too.

[viktor9621]

" i remember that diamonds used to be a girls best friend" sickest line:D

[lu3mm3l]

Ah damn. Read this comments under this video. WHY THE HELL? Murs got so much love and he gives so much love back in his songs. He has got a message, a sick flow. I'll never get it why the mainstream is about Lil' Wayne and all of them. Because compared to Murs they ain't shit

[MrBombr]

@lu3mm3l Why does it seem every real track I hear somebody gotta bring up wayne. Keep the good stuff on ya mind and don't think about anything else.

[mikeysk8willey]

@lu3mm3l

I KNOW! Murs likes to rap against the crowd. Break thos stupid stereotypes and mis-conceptions of rap. Like, people like Lil' Wayne because people like "sing-along" songs. You know? But people need to appreciate lyrics with some meaning, not people bragging about how they made millions on drug dealing and hustling. There's no reality in that. Woo! Murs is great.

[MFdoomJR]

@lu3mm3l Like murs says,

Cause the beat is real heavy and the hook is real catchy

Make you nod your head steady, and you don't feel sketchy

'Til you're all by yourself, and you ridin' around

And realize to yourself how stupid it sounds

[westside159]

no i know a few white homies that grew up rough in the hood too , the stereo type is that only blacks struggle in the hood ..

Dope song

[pezzle1097]

gotta try xtra hard tho

[analwizard]

I gotta a question for all you black people out there

If a white dude, grows up in the hood with no dad an crackhead mom an he grows up just as ghetto as any of the black folks in that hood is he still "frontin"?

[ddeerreecckk]

no, go listen to murs' "dark skinned white girl"

im sure tge same logic can be applied to a white male raised in the hood.

[raptorkiller2k5]

The mainstream white person is the problem, In that case, it'd be quite different. You got some white-skinned people in the hood, but much of that identity relates to the mainstream, middle class type.

[oneeazy1not2]

when the police show up

none of his background history matter

you'll neva understand

[manuwd]

this is real talk ,this man has true skills and a message in his songs none of that commercialised b-s that is "main stream" hip hop, I love the REALNESS !

[Thehatedtruth]

I hate it when a hip hop artist tries to make out that hip hop is exclusively for the black community. So I loved the lines Murs put in bout the subject.

Oh, and the production was sick.

[VERYVINDICTIVE1]

Murs is definately one of my favorite rappers of this generation him and T.W.I.L.I.G.H.T. Check out his music too type in twilight - 7-17-93 or twilight - discovered me

[nymets4531]

This song speaks such truth.. more people need to listen to it !!!!

[rassclaat23]

This is for any white boy who thinks he knows my struggle cause he listens to Pac and his adrenaline doubles.... an intense line.... INTENSE.... thats gotta make people of every race reconsider why they like rap.

[vearheart42]

Actually if you listen to the song its not about that, he starts off with one idea the amends his thoughts at the end. If you think that peopel should rethink their opinions then your completely wrong about this song.

[rassclaat23]

All i was saying is it makes you think about why you like hip hop.. im not saying that it should make you stop liking hip hop or start liking it or whatever... just mkae you think about it. Regardles... it's a deep line from a deep song. But THAT line, i think should really make people reconsider why they like hip hop, and what they like about it, and to what extent they can appreciate certain songs and artists.

[hatchetswing3r]

cuz hes a smart fukin guy

[kelvo777]

True Expression!!!!!!!!!!

[waynecarrington]

murs is a good friend of mine, and this song was so needed!!!!

[wakeem93]

damn man...murs is that dude

[mlmlml13]

i heard this in my history class it was so tight

[sexyjea]

did your teacher get mad they said nigga?

[mlmlml13]

no he just said there was some curse words and we laghed when we heard them

[tubular288]

first of all...how in the world did your teacher get ahold of some murs and then think "i bet the kids would enjoy this"...please explain...

[URGAYGETOVERIT]

about time they teach about good music.

[mlmlml13]

the funny thing is hes white(no offence to anybody) and he acts well like a regular one he was one of us preety much 2 bad its summer and im goin 2 high school im see him on a late day

[URGAYGETOVERIT]

he probably played this song because i bet theres a lot of wana be thugs at your school and don't know what really goes down

like in the verse.."well you could be down, but lets act grown up...cus we aint the same color when the police show up"

[SHUHBANGABANG]

Good music transcends all physical limits.

thanks Murray.

[ImmynimmyX]

While even if I tried, I could never blend in

To society's mainstream, American dream

....i can totally relate to that....cosign murs

[chuko818]

Damn time's done changed these thugs do what they like

Some of them be your friends to try and find a new wife

And still hit the block and slang rocks at night

But you could be dead wrong with your pockets right

Contrary to what the legendary B.I.G. had to say

You don't have to sell drugs or make the NBA

It's easy to get a grant and get an MBA

To achieve one goal there's more than one way

Young people on the whole we have lost our way

I don't care what it cost I'm not impressed my nigga

[chuko818]

That throwback jersey is a dress my nigga

I remember diamonds used to be girl's best friend

Enslaving Black children with them third world gems

I don't care about your rims, kids ride Big Wheels

Up until they learn balance and it's obvious you haven't

With way more ego than you have true talent

And this is for...

Any white boy who thinks he knows my struggle

Cause he listens to Pac and his adrenaline doubles

Now I ain't got problems with you being yourself

[chuko818]

But when you front and use the N word, it just don't help

I might not trip, and your friends'll laugh at you

But I know some real niggaz that'll straight up slap you

Now you could be down, but let's act growed up

Cause we ain't the same color when police show up

My culture's not a trend, being Black is not in

But for you it's just a phase you're gonna have to transcend

While even if I tried, I could never blend in

To society's mainstream, American dream

[chuko818]

Yeah, it's all one love, but remember one thing

This music is my life, not a cultural fling

It's an expression of the soul when we dance and sing

And you are blessed to have a chance to even glance the scene

And This Is For...

Man I do the same music, they stop coming to shows

It's like they scared of the white boys in the front row

First I was like "so?" I'mma get my dough

But the numbers kept falling as my fan base would grow

[chuko818]

And now I'm concerned so I gotta speak up

First the money was the only thing shutting me up

But now I don't care, don't support me, get mad

Why wouldn't you abort me, my own people have

I feel I should have the scans white rappers have

It's sad but that's the way it is

What's the reason that my album doesn't sell like his?

And don't front like you don't why the hell that is

It's because he's white, you can relate to his face

Through the years you've been taught that Black is unsafe

[chuko818]

Plus it's only natural for your own to be embraced

Conscious or subconscious you can't say that ain't the case

Only reason it took so long to take place

Was up until now your only choice was 3rd Bass

Or others like Ice, wasn't really that tight

Now you got some white dudes who can truly rock the mic

You relate to their stories cause you share that past

Question is, why would you listen to MURS' Black ass?

[chuko818]

asked myself for a while but now I finally get it

Good music transcends all physical limits

It's more than something that you hear, it's something that you feel

When the author and experience and passion is real

Used to feel I should be silent, I was scared to do this song

But I want everyone aware of what is going on

Yes it is jazz and yes it is the blues

And yes it is the exact same way they did rock

But I refuse to watch the same thing happen to hip-hop

[chuko818]

I refuse to watch that bullshit...

[shiggadee]

"KIDS RIDE BIG-WHEELS, THAT'S UNTIL THEY LEARN BALANCE"...WOW!!

homie goin' hard on this joint right here!!!

the 1st verse is sooooo cold!!!!

[roblee222]

9th and Murs, Hip Hop at its best

[ed1962]

[yeskacrusada]

the realness indeed. i had to tell people the same way years ago. thank you murs so setting things str8 inna world.

[sublimesRocknHiphopn]

[straydoglodro]

murs is the shit, check out the living legends if you want to here dope music

[Jakeluvspumbas]

I don't know why people gave negative feedback. Living Legends are off the hook. And Murs is a part of Living Legends so I don't know why people are hatin.

[dobby240]

hey man living legends are good an all, but thier voices dont match to the style of murs. keep listening to your stuff we'll keep listening to ours..
