this song is the jam!!! the thing I love about youtube, is that the old music that was made before you were born, is available at click of a mouse! You just need to look in the right places!
soulja boy hasnt done anything since crank that, ive never heard of gucci mane except in youtube comments, and as for lil wayne...well whatever. just listen to music everyone lol
@ eric i will respectfully say you are wrong and right. there is ALOT of great hip hop out there as i listen to it very often. but on the flipside, there is ALOT of whack stuff that i can barely stand coming out.
@DHScherocha and also man, people do care. just not you because its not your culture. ok thats fine. but understand there are mad people into hiphop culture and are interested where the samples came from.
@AndreRedd1Empire Nas, DMX, and Eminem rap about real stuff nowadays Eminem and DMX got over that phase of rapping bout stupid shit and violence. thats what the industry wanted them to do and now there doing what they want.
Sit back, relax, and u've got your one way ticket out of this world for a marvelous 5 minutes when the whole universe goes still......simply beautiful.
This song reminds me of raking the leaves before a big snow fall here in Mich. I agree with Sylv3t0r. It does convey the death knell to fall and onrush of winter.
It was alway's a joy to play this at the edge winter and Summer Madness at the beginning of Summer. You have life in its fruition and death waiting at the door.
@Highflyer804 I have to agree, and may I say that you stated that quite beautifully. There's the synchronicity between life and death, and how Kool & The Gang made that connection between the seasons in this coupling of songs (this and "Summer Madness") with such sonic eloquence absolutely speaks to the truth of what you pointed out. There's a tragicness in the wail of "Winter", but a cosmically serene sort of sensibility to it. It's just the way it goes.
great name for the track. It's like an understated, muted, ambient flip-side version of Summer Madness. you can hear bits of Summer Madness in it, but on a different level, if you get what I'm trying to state.
this music puts me in such a great mood. i feel like spitting a couple of hip hop lines or maybe just gettin intimate with my girl. winter is here and id love more than to warm the souls of those who need passion in their lives.
Whats funny is as much as people want to say this music sucks compared to todays music and their favorite "artists" they fail to comprehend that those same artists grew up on this music AND/OR use this music in their samples to make their songs... Tupac - picture me rollin, Trae Tha Truth & Slim Thug- Nuthin to a Boss... just to name 2, these artists see the beauty in the music so those insulting it... well make a few million and then your opinion might make more sence/cents lol
@TheYoungHustlaTV All coolmon is saying is that modern music blows, Bands like Kool and the Gang are proof of this. All these artists of "craft" you speak of are lazy imitations of real musicians. Look at their hooks, their beats, stolen from Harold Melvin to Led Zeppelin. It seems like finding the poppy, tween sound to make money has trumped the whole learn your instrument and art well has gone out the window to feed the masses.
@surlygirlie i agree but i think its kinda cool that the stupid masses don't even know they are listening to this cool music, this old music is still there it hasn't gone anywhere we can still hear it, and the internet has made it easier for use to find more music we haven't heard. Classic situation --> the other day I was beat juggling funky drummer and some muppet was like "stop ruining lethal bizzle's record"!

Top three complaints you'll find on all the classic music uploaded to YouTube
1. Hip Hop artists sampling the music
2. The current state of the music industry (often expressed negatively)
3. The number of dislikes to a song which is regarded as classic or great.
What you won't find in abundance are people just enjoying the music and commenting on how it affects them personally.

Now I can relax, knowing that it is infact..8^)
Also 'All About U' was ripped from Cameo- 'Candy' .
And De La Soul's song 'Change In Speak' sampled Cymande- 'Bra'.
And Eminem's song 'My Name Is', sampled Labi Siffre- 'I Got The'.
But De La Soul has most definately done the most sampling than any rap artists.
I swear, these rappers listened to the FINEST music.
