I've known about The Illz for about a year now and I gotta say I am so surprised the dude hasn't been blown up yet. I think he just needs to get on somebodies track maybe jersey native, Joe Budden. I dunno man, but all i know is this dude is wayyy to talented to go unnoticed! If your looking for other great Illz songs try,,, In Between Us, The Moment you feel definite hope, Energy in motion, To know your place in the universe, dark side of the room, Los Angeles, Persistence, M.P.A , Cover Me.
Not sure if we can ever consider this talent because his lyricism and his meaning is so much more than just "talent".. This man created a category all to himself. Guys like ILLZ remind me that hip hop is still living. Just gotta search for the right voice.
omg i was crying at the end of the song lol my life story.... you are something unique and spectacular. I see you going tripple platinum:) oh yeah i subbed:)
This is some crazy good shit. I just found Kendrick Lamar, Pac Div, Adam Tensta, and The ILLZ. What are some other artists like these guys? I can't get enough.
I love how he breaks one of the conventional rules of hip hop by not using any percussion. He should make a remix with them.. It'd probably be just as awesome.
this song seriously gave me the will to move on after something baf happened. ILLZ saved me from making a decision I couldn't take back. Im glad i discovered them in time
this song and video is amazing, true emotion, if u ever do a remix or part 2 of this song... i think nobody other then Wale would do it justice with u
ILLZ is the most versatile underground rapper, hands down.. He can a deep and melancholic tracks like this, then drop an amazing uptempo track like Cover Me or ILLYTAL... He's just Way too talented...
this is deep.. quite emotional.. and enjoyed both vocals.. Kristopher: You have a brilliant gift, a true talent of storytelling.. compelling and captivating. Again, Brilliant Vocals.
wow, I have a feeling this video gonna get atleast 100 views just from me, this is some of the best shit I've heard in a while. Keep doing your thing, if y'all like this I rap also, check my page out for more real hip hop. Props. 1
ok this is rare for me. i have never since being on yt now for over five yrs, have i ever saw a video someone shared with me, that made me literally sign in to comment on/about it! your gift is so powerful through words & meaning alone so far as i can see. and i tell you my new friend, your going to reach out soo far beyond your widest dreams, that it will take even you by surprise. this video to me, deserve a 10/10 rating..simply/phenomenal*****! u must keep your gift going forward...
Yo..this is the REALEST that music gets. When it all boils down to it, take away all the money, fame, partyin, bullshit, entertainment, drugs, actin tough, actin cool etc.. you'll see all that shit is just distractions we create for ourselves to deny the true nature of what our existence really is...which is SADNESS. The fact that this kind of music is rarely made is testament to how much most people hide from it. If u never contemplated suicide before, u might not feel what I mean though..
