We were driving on a summers day and I was rocking Dwele when truth started to play she asked me who made the song I said Dwele she said who I said Dwele then it dawned on me that Dwele was singing what she did not have the guts to say. It was on a Sunday that I finally packed my bags feeling like spit in a bucket and even after the therapy this song helps me heal from the fact that I was simply her subject. God Bless You Dwele
dweleeeeee! oh my gaaaash!!! back in watevea yea this album came out i had this album on repeat for MONTHS! no exaggeration! he was 1 of the artists that further restored my faith in REAL, PROPER music!. i luuuuuv the way he mixes hip hop, jazz, soul, neo soul on this album, and in many of his subsequent work. PURE CLASS and PURE GENIUS! needless to say i'm a HUUGE fan of this guy! : )
im young still in high school and i listen to everythng frm flocka to gotti to weezy to drake, common, lupe, kanye, trey, but artists like musiq, dwele, john legend, and alicia keys sho us a musical side to r&b music. the beats, the different voices, and different instruments used in the background, make it so smooth. give us smethn to appreciate. more than jus noise.
See the bare naked truth...is you should always be truthful, so that people want get hurt. The subject of the matter..is...don't compare, we are all individuals with our own lite to shine. Always reveal the truth, the bare naked is the truth.
Liars never win in the game! The reality is you should of been straight from the beginning even doing conversations on the (TELE). Mr. telecommunicator
I LOOOOVE this song by Dwele!!!! The rhythm is a mixture of hip-hop, Neo-Soul,and jazz type! I'm feelin' this song!!!! I still need to get the first album (this album) by him b/c I have his second and third albums! LOOOVE this song!!!
Dwele is the Truth...this song helped me see that I wasn't The Truth to him...no love lost...he's missing me now, but that just the way love goes...right?
Man I remember just stumbing onto this artist/ablum when this first came out, I was workin at the music store and seen it sittin on the new release rack like who is this, the album cover cought my eye, i was gettin into the Nu-Soul movement hard at the time, and this is one of the first ablums I ever brought by a Nu-Soul artist, still Jam this ablum and artist to this day....... SAVE GOOD MUSIC YAWL....
Yes. Love this...just love this. This one song makes Youtube worth it to me, despite it's many comment quirks...uggghhh @ comment deletion randomness by Youtube.
Although it was illegal at the time, I gotta thank Napster/Kazaa..I would have NEVER known about this dude as a solo artist if it werent for that..Only thing I ever knew was SLum Village...Wow..Pure Soul
oh my god.. this fuckin song!!!... its fuckin magical if u twisted one up while listining to this...its like the first time u ever had an orgasin.. its an amazing peace of art..
its something to move to while u sing with all ur close friends sitin chillin at the house..this is a 5 star banger!!! dwele is awsome... it sound like a classic j dilla joint.............
DAMN,this song is the TRUTH...deep lyrics,beautifully sung...describing such a SiMPLE yet COMPLEX situation. I been there & done that kind of relationship..HAHAHA!
this album was my life when it came out. he had a little of everything in it. there was the deep thought provoking soul like this song and also the upbeat soul like 'a pimp's dream'. very passionate music
@africanprinceily: Me too...that was like 8-9 years ago. I've got such a different life now, but this music takes me right back to way-back-when. Cool. Creepy. Love this music though...Dwele is a beast. Yes.
Dwele, the reality is we lie..... and that we do, to keep the sweet, flavorsome flow, and the more the naked truth comes out. the sour the taste ends up.. til we cant stand the taste of it anymore. The reflection of what we don't want we focus on subconsciously..til it happens. then we face the reality!
BTW, why are all these racist republicans commenting on random videos targeted toward African Americans? There's a serious infestation problem here on YouTube. Now that the heat's turning up in the political arena we're starting to see a lot more of "the haters" come out of their fox holes and show their true colors.
@ncstateofmind U smokin jokin Mr, don't dream, Dwele got focus, Rhythm & Blues, listen more, no the blue notes, feel it now or never. Bilal 1st joint wit Gay Dre was bumping, his new joint twisted & sour in places, no grooves on it. Can i get a witness ???
@The24KaratBlack bilal album was classic..especially with the production from j dilla and the roots..he has way more groove and can sing Jazz..his vocal range is out of this world..u need to see more of his live performances..even Dwele said he is the greatest..thats all he listens too
It pisses me off that the music industry isn't able to give him better opportunities to great stardom. He has established himself in the underground realm. Now, it is time for the world to hear Neo-Soul's greatest, close to Sade. :)
I have to disagree with you. I think dwele should stay underground, it's a shame not more people know about him and he doesn't make a lot of money. But mark my words, when the moment comes he becomes visual to the public eye you wouldn't even like his music anymore..
And besides it's not about the money or fame, it's about the MUSIC!!
You can never play quality music like this 'out'. LOL. Dwele is the shit. His music hits you in the soul. Like Musiq. He and Music are the greatest Neo-Soul artists in the game.
omg i am in love wit dwele he is too soulful hes the stevie wonder and marvin gaye of our generation he is sooo talentedomg i could just cry he is all over my zune i am inlove with his voice omg !!!!!!!!!!
the complete truth is darling/ you're the only one for me/ and I love you for who you are/ and you bring out the best in me/ there is no other woman that can fill that special void/ I'm fascinated by your beauty/ and your presence/ I enjoy/
I just fell in like with this song realising that he was saying he was lying to get some then at the end he says I am realising that this could've been luv... Man wtf, just my luck..Now I got you but I don't want you like that,Y do ya'll guys do this to us??:(
This is a Crazy Crazy Crazy real song right here, like he was following me and my relationship around b4 me and my ex parted ways lol - Dwele is the Truth..
This song inspired my last tattoo! The lyrics are more than real!!
If our words were truely fact we probably still wouldn't have love, but we would love what we had but we don't reality is we lied, now you and I must say goodbye can't you see the bare naked start to speak, "I'm a young man the world is mine, I shoulda been straight with you from the beginning you probably wasn't even lookin for a man!"
This track is "The Truth". Man, lots of men (and women) really have this dynamic going on. As a matter of fact, probably more often than not. Glad Dwele was able to verbalize it.
man i was just doin my work minding my own when i decided to take a break and stumbled on this track, as soon as this kicked in i just sat back, closed my eyes and chilled! damn slum village is on that good vibe sh*t
tHIS SONG DESCRIBED MY LAST RELATIONSHIP..THE PERFECT BREAKUP SONG....mY FAVORITE ON THE ALBUM...MY FAV LINE IS "I SHOULDA BEEN STRAIGHT WITH YOU FROM THE BEGINNING YOU PROBABLY WASNT EVEN LOOKIN FOR A MAN
this song is the truf!!!! "i lied..i said you were the truth...you took it as the truf..and now i got YOU ...but i dont want you like that..." HUH!!!!!!!
So much love to DWELE...you'll always be my "KING OF NU"
