dexter wansel-rings of saturn

[westside159]

Do what you told to

[DinSidd]

This is what lyrics should be like, real words, laid back tone and smooth flow on a nice beat. I love how he's intellectual and chill on a track that's a response to a diss.

[dopewords]

the beat sounds like it has a sampling of Dave Matthews Band #41. in reference to that song if anyone is interested the DMB song #41 at around 3:40 if you listen to that little solo you can hear the similarities to this beat. maybe it's just me, doesn't make me special just inclined to tell yall to see if yall feel me. hope so but if not...THIS song is still a klassic

[SADMANMUSIC35]

When i can close my eyes and see the picture this beautiful slice of hip hop is painting it makes me realize that some people still know what the formula is to making good music. Its all about the beats and lyrics man. It isn't that complicated.

[dopewords]

@SADMANMUSIC35 you right bro and it has no color nor no ethnicity it transcends because we didn't create it; it was given to us and God is good so as long as we come from a good place the music will move you in a good way. there are songs that move people and the pied piper may be a children's tale but it surely can be applied to mankind.

[xFreestyleKingx]

why is underground hip hop aka calling there selves real hip hop are really against mainstream. its pointless sayin whos real and whos not. everybodys different, some will like you and some will not, i think everyones dope. mainstream and underground. just be yourself . . that is alllll. lol

[Shinharu]

Reminds me of a Nujubes beat. Its so refreshing...

And I tried to listen to it once and go to the next song and came right back. lol. So yeah I failed that dare.

[toddlock]

proof that hennesy dont go with protools.

talib is a master. respect . ssooooo nice!!!1

[Illmatuc]

Anyone else light a bowl to this?

[chickenmaster66]

@Illmatuc nigga hell yea chill ass song to blaze too

[Illmatuc]

@chickenmaster66 Fuck yeah man

[jammetti]

CHILLING TRACK

[HarrowerJ90DuB]

this has to be one of the best songs ever written

[somichgrenade]

this might just be the best song ive ever heard

[ChrisBBeats1]

what i love about this track is it's a diss to prodigy. only Talib Kweli could make a diss that's this calm and full of sense. instead of chatting shit back to prodigy after the shit he said. he just made him analyse his life. its so clever its not even a diss, its just a lesson.

[zadrazil]

i've lost count of the amount of times i've listened to this joint this is by far my favorite song kwel and dela is a great combo

[Thcuf6]

W-O-W, so smooth..just put it to my favorites!

[MrHiishii]

repeat on and on....

[Junglist1996]

@soulsleeprs but you never find a soulsleeper as good as this one

[OriginalOrigins]

[BigSingh]

@mjaffe22 Find RINGS OF SATURN by Dexter Wansel -that's where this background come from.



[TheConfusedPastry]

i fuckin love this song. whenever i need to chill out i put this on

[King4250]

who is this dela guy and why have i never heard of him before, his album is SERIOUSSSS!!

[DJEvillincoln]

Ya'll need to stop complaining about the radio... its never going to change. Unless the old men who control it decide to turn away the money that the labels are throwing them to play their joints. When was the last time an old, rich white man turned down money?

I stopped complaining about that shit like... 10 years ago.

Grow up ya'll... just keep supporting good music by BUYING IT & hitting up concerts when the artists come into town & the culture will be juuuust fine. ; ]

[DoucheInUse]

@DJEvillincoln what has being white got to do with it??

[5chris4]

@DJEvillincoln Word! Thats real bro!

[BaronTonev]

Soulsleepers... Don't you dare dare me not playing this tune more than once... Man, this hit me real hard, incredible track, It's weird I listen to ughh and jazzhop/rap and talk about realness and haven't heard of Dila. I thank you for your upload

[BehelitOutlaw]

[MightyTiouz]

This song is so epic, dela ans talib is the perfect combination

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[RudKatz]

Talkin, love languages from ghetto corners where love languishes, people always askin' what your angle is.

The hustle in my homecourt, trouble in the hole.

I document the struggles in my song. --- love it

[MrChicano1979]

just bumped into DELA...this is some good music...I've heard of Talib Kwali before...DeLaSoul, Atmosphere, Living Legends, Input, Los Nativos, Murs, Grouch, Eligh...music for your mind...

Reflection Eternal... This is where Talib Kweli really shine. Long Life is just a mental trip across the universe.

[EdmelOnDEMAND]

This is my favorite song, possibly of all time. so calming and relaxing, every time i listen to this song, i just imagine laying in the sand watching the sun set.

[SolNinja]

[osornoise]

damn ! this is the real hip-hop man ! i made my account just to leave a comment in this video(: 

[bdis89]

that backround goes perfect

[jayfatzthedude]

Is it just me but this track gives you somewhat of a surreal feeling... the instrumental along with Kweli's rhyming makes for a exceptional melody just saying this is what the Radio should be playing but that we lead to haves feeling threaten due to the have nots being enlightened ya dig, sho nuff love to my folks holding it up while the rest try to break it down.

[KielerGraufuchs]

Thats what Hip Hop and Rap once used to be...

[charibom]

hip hop is what makes the world go round.

[ThePoshen]

yeah i agree with the first comment posted a year ago, he or she took the words right out of my mouth, we do need more music like this for awareness.

[briskhockey]

i tried to listen to this song once, went to another and then came right back, this is so soothing to the soul, keepin hip hop real

[djjmiz]

1 person got rocked to sleep

[markyjay17]

[BrutalOGame16]

[UFBear15]

the radio can't fuck with this kind of music lol... This that revolutionary stance to get smart people to get real with themselves and block out the sheep.. Wake up America

municipal police roam the streets acti like they got beef wit the chief, they take my head and bag it along the concrete, i try to look up but i only see my feet, real hiphop still lives, trying to deciever the puzzle, cuz it aint no quiz, i aint a true mc, and i aint famous like ellen d, but i try ma best to be what i am, which is me.
