I wish if they mislabeled it they would have used Common's "Misunderstood" which sampled this song. At least that song is a concise and eloquent social commentary, not a rambling ten minute rant.
@LinkinParaJJluvr ...you should probably shoot yourself for this question, i'm not sayin you should kill yourself, cause suicide is cowardice buh shoot yourself so that you may live and know not to ask ignorant questions like so... this is actual music (complete opposite of anything wayne can/have/ever will compose) just sayin
@gabechat2 I didn't know lil wayne sampled this song until about 5 mintues ago, and I don't even listen to rap. The reason I asked was because I've always heard The Animal's cover, and I didn't know who did it originaly. I looked it up, and they released this song about a year after Nina Simone did, so it's not that ridiculous question.
@wersawwersaw "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus for the singer/pianist Nina Simone, who first recorded it in 1964
@wersawwersaw Nina Simone did it in 1964, but The Animals covered it in 1965 with a bit more of a rock and roll beat and it exploded then... At least so says Wikipedia :)
@pegasaurus420 back when music was real and people could really sing, you had women who sang around a tenor range. These women were called contraltos and Nina Simone was one of them.
MsDealwithi, i am so sorry for your loss , it not easy to lose a friend ,after all what do you think i,m doing at 6 o,clock in the morning listening to lady simone.i guarantee you she up there with angels and nina simone her self..
@BornThrice he sampled it for the last track on Tha Carter 3 where he dissed Al Sharpton. It's not a terrible track. Not even in the same league as this song though, of course. ; )
@MsDealwithit Her potential may lay down in a box, but memories of her will last forever, as well as her deeds. Her accomplishments are something some will admire, some will just think of, but in the end, what everyone will contemplate upon at some point in their lives. Bodies are limited. Souls are not. May she rest in peace...
I have this on a mix tape and thought it was a man singing this song until I saw this on youtube. Maybe this is why the artist name is Lil Wayne under the like bar. Lil Wayne is on the mixtape.
Nina Simone I love you. You are the greatest entertainer representing our strong black women. you have inspired me today to be all that I can be and more.
crazy, just from the wayne song...i thought this was a guy, ya'll wikipedia the carter iii (if your wayne fans). alot of his tracks are from older songs. it broadened my horizon on these classic tunes
It's on Lil Waynes song "Don't Get It' Carter III. Those first words she speaks throughout the song before the hook and the hook itself is so powerful. Who wouldn't want to quote such an amazing song. Probably the best of it's time and still should be especially the year this came out.
ive done things that i regret in my life..manyy things..im only 17..some of the thyings i regret forced me to grow up faster than most..i have the mind of a old wise man..sometimes i think and think and think about life and it comes off as me being..mad...but im not im just a soul whose intentons are good..this song means so much to me i swear!!!
your not alone. im 38 and grew up so quick that i dont even remember being a kid. there is so much love and pain in this song that it mkes me cry, try billie holiday
A song I can relate to, that's one of the most difficult things a person can deal with in this society. Common sampled this song better.... keep Real Hip Hop alive, does anyone have a cure because I Used To Love H.E.R too. '79-'99 hip hop 4 ever.
@TheBudaLord, I'm a have to check that joint out, Hi-Tek is one of my favorite hip hop producers ever so I know he won't let me down. I meant to say that Kanye produced the track for Common; anybody but Lil Wayne for the love of God. PEACE Homie!!
this song means a lot. it means a heart I didn"t want a break, while another was his best mate that I totally wholly entirely, without any concession would give up, loved, a hert i broke,... does anybody knows....?
