hey guys, i doubt anyone cares but i have nothing to lose by trying. yes, i know its generic as everyone on youtube is asking to check out their rap channel, but if you have a few minutes to spare wether you wanna legitimately check out my music or visit my page to laugh at how bad you assume i am, it would be much appreciated if you checked my shit out. thanks
Oh yeah, and to bring up the fact that eminem doesn't have a goddamn degree in communication doesnt mean a fucking thing obviously .is that a prerequisite to rap nowadays? jesus christ. do you think all the dope rappers that have exsisted have degrees in communication? a fucking monkey could get a degree nowadays you fucking idiot.
god, i was trying to enjoy the song but got distracted by the top comment, which is such a typical elitist comment. eminem is obviously super dope, and can be an intillectual rapper as well. two completely different rappers, both talented and have different strong points. enjoy the music
eydea , slug ,sage are on my opinnion only good preformers ... they have so strong lyrics and they never sold their style for some cash like this wannabes eminem and company...
all of you saying eminem is so great because he can freestyle ok thats fine, does he have an associates in communcation and bachelors degree in journalism? is he known for having lyrics so deep and intellectual the majority of our ignorant population cant understand? just because corporate america supports eminem putting him on tv and radio doesnt make him any better just more of a commercial product! because he is shallow enough for you to understand hahahaha!!!
@d510g1c I love Sage Francis but you gotta love Eminem too. Freestyling is the utter soul of Hip Hop. Whilst sage is a lyrical genious Eminem is one of the best ever because of his longetivity, and the fact that he sells (which i dont care too much about)
Anyways fuck talking about other artists that have nothing to do with song.
@d510g1c Dont get me wrong, eminem is alright, but not since the mathers lp. Sage francis has been gold from beginning to now, i dont say end cause sage aint done.
@d510g1c actually eminems a great mc, yes over the years he has become less great but still great. either way sage francis is still amazing, so is eminem just in a different way
@d510g1c as much as i somewhat agree for a lot of corporate rappers Em, at least early Em, is a little different. He speaks on a different level about some real shit that he has experienced. He has gotten a lot of people through a lot of hard times.
@d510g1c they're both good so why do you promote an argument in the first place. just appreciate each of them, you have to at least like eminem's first album i can't imagine you wouldn't. you can't expect every rapper to be like sage, eyedea, aesop, krino etc. their minds are far beyond normal haha
@vintastic319 I see your point. but generally the argument is that Eminem is super well known, (a lot of ignorant cats even consider him the only good white rapper), and the fact that people like sage, eyedea, sole, are virtually unknown, while they are, (atleast my opinion) on a whole different level of complexity and skill and are much more deserving of the mass recognition, attention, & praise than eminem or any other promoted commercial rapper. But sadly, mediocracy holds sway
@d510g1c i am really drunk. to say eminem is a better freestyler i think is a failed argument simply because eminem lost scribble 97 to j u ice i think. and sage won against blueprint i think wearing that dope metallica shirt ahha. sages lyrics are dope cuz he can relate to many people. prolly cuz he has a communication degree. comparing eminem to sage is like comparing apples to oranges. popularity does not justify talent but i believe both are very talented
@d510g1c Not necessarily. Just because he is less intelligent doesn't mean his message is any less worthy. I agree a lot of comercial music is full with meaningless lyrics.
But what we have here is two different types of the same person. Both smart men, but one raised in an environment that harnesses education and the other which favours gangs and violence. Just because someone is better educated, doesn't mean the other mans views are less valid and real. They have different experiences.
@d510g1c and now who is shallow, putting your self above those who disagree, and so what if sage has those, doesnt make his words any heavier, and have you forgotten, people use to call eminem the devil, i love sage hes my favorite rapper but people like you make me a shamed in his fans,and yes eminem has deep lyrics you sound like you are from a nice little comfy life man, do you know how many peoples lives eminem has touched cause he could express what they were feeling
@d510g1c You're just so cool man. I wish i could be as deep and philosophical as you are, it's just so complex and cool. Don't be such a dick man. Sage has some deep and thoughtful lyrics, some flow too. Eminem may suck now, but he's got mad flow, and some really clever lyrics. Just becuase it isn't deep or undergound doesn't mean it isn't good.
@sperdoj That's your opinion, but don't go and leave comments like that. Just go to something else and don't listen to it if you think it sucks that much.
@cpaterson0988 I was directed here by someone. I'm not going to not say that a song is wack, when it clearly is wack, just so that I don't spoil your fun. The song's fuckin wack, as is all of his other shit, and I just wrote that in the little comment box and pressed Post! That was easy!
If you can post posts of admiration its only natural that it can be the other way around too. I love the song, but what you're saying is a bit fascist! :D
@sperdoj He is'nt the best Hip Hop producer or MC around, but he makes more money making his shit and selling it than you do on unemployment benefit, or your paper round, or whatever the fuck it is you do..
The sterile robots want to talk to me about detox... god sage I have no idea where I would be if extreme fluctuations and temperature changes hadnt cracked pipes.
people say shit like sage,like u guys fucking know him or no his music and u fucking don't u have no idea how he feels when he sings or write's his music so don't act likeu fucking no him. WHAT THE FUCK all u r whack as fuck if ur gonna comment stupid shit,then listen to the song WITHOUT commenting!
Extreme temperature changes and flucuations have been known to crack pipes, crackpipes lol the sterile robots want to talk to me about detoc, god I fucking love sage
my mom is soo funny, we go visit my brothers every 6 months and everytime i smoke some weed in my pipe while driving she whispers (CRACK PIPES,crack pipes ,crack pipes lol.......but shes says "if it comes from the earth,its prolly safe" hah
Addiction is hell, but so is being locked up, cancer is hell, birth is hell, unrequited love is hell, starvation is hell, loss of a loved on to death is hell, I'm not sure what the worst is barberboy but damn, no need to be a buzzkill. Gonna go watch cartoons.
Sage francis is one of the very few rappers today that actually speak the truth. the guy is a genius, he's fun, most of all he's legit. He stomps everyone.
I love sage because you can tell that he is so passionate in his music. He has such deep lyrics that can be interpreted in numerous ways. And he has great Flow :).
@Redeyejedi007 I bet if I say fuck niggers and Jews I'll get down voted as it considered racism and making fun or gingers is not. Fuck you and this stupid society.
@Redeyejedi007 I like how that episode of southpark was actually slandering the ideals of ethnic superiority, but all the retards who watched it just thought it was making fun of gingers. So now, sad excuses for trolls like you try to get cheap lulz by telling people jokes that are actually at your expense.
None of you are reading inbetween lyrics, Youre just looking at the title and assuming hes talking about the drug. he has many meanings and im reletivly sure its not about the drug. ive met this man in real life and he has many diffrent meanings when he raps. Everything he says can be viewed as a double meaning. Crack pipes, an addiction, to Crack pipes, to disrupt a flow. youre not going to understand his shit if you just look at something and say its this Theres no black or white with this man
@69soldier he says "temperature changes have been known to crack pipes." But he does talk about 12 steps later on.... But whatever, take the meaning however you want.
Everytime I hear this song, it just reminds me to never be like the ppl around me that I love who have thrown everything they care about to the side just for drugs...
im betting most of the people listening to this song have had similar experiences. all i have to say to all you you is..."meet me at the cross roads so i have someone to walk into the light with."
@thedudem45 yeah and? that doesn't mean there isn't room to expand and take his music and art to higher levels of creativity. it was a statement, not wondering. I know hes the shit.
@mesauh Naw not the Studios,the Studios get used to,by the corporations that own the major label which basically all ran by Viacom I know alot of studio engineers that hate the shit they have to record Same as radio dj's In Detroit, they were talking about what they would do if they won the lottery on this radio station. And while discussing, one of the DJ's busted out and said"You know what I would do?I would stop playing this terrible music they make us play and play real shit until im fired.
@TheKipKadillac True, but a real musician does what he loves and not what they tell him to do. Is all part of the big plan to plant a shitty seed in our youth.
i have to admit ive never heard anything like this before this could be interprtted in so many ways ive heard just about every kind of rap-hip hop crap, but this stood out to me i really liked this becuase hes not bein all liddle dicked cocky ass mofo like all of these other rappers in the game he is rapping about real things unlike most people and that is what sepperates him from the rest of the rappers out there
@caleisthesex I will agree that sage is a better writer, and he is my favorite rapper... but I cant say his songs are any deeper. also what do you actually consider to be "deep"?
lol, must have missed that memo. You need to broaden your listening to some artists which -didn't- sell out and use rap as a method of coping, they put their own problems into the rap. You're a fool if you think that he wrote this for our benefit, it's for his. But just on the off-chance that one of us is experiencing the same problems... here it is.
@sexykeenan I agree... they are deep. who the fuck are you? eminem's one of the best rappers alive. don't hate on him, and if you do, do it on his video.
@sexykeenan your idiot i laugh now at you go listin old school eminem, check his freestyles no one can freestyle like him man send me videos, who freestyles better dickhead. u only call this deep cus hes underground? u dumb fuck
@1309mw I really think you can't pin this down to one thing... its almost like a few song meanings in one... to me im hearing the stages of grieving a loss that anyone feels, quiting a drug addiction, losing a family member... alota things
I just found out bout thus dude and he's has more skill lyrically and his flow is like no other, this beat rite here is so unique and to think he's been rappin ever since he was 8
And I will never try crack or heroin. I figure if the sating "Like father, like son" holds any validity, then I would be best off to not try that shit. RIP Dad. Now I'm going to drink vodka and cry.
@barberbeau My dad didnt die, but he instead killed the rest of teh family by taking all the money and house etc.....left my mom and mess, took it all.....fuck crack.\
@barberbeau i've had 3 family members die of that shit before 14 (excluding my father my fathers suicide when i was 2)
my mom quit after me and my brother begged her, she relapsed once,
I grew up in a crack house man.. that shit makes you wiser and humbler take what you can from it, i would be lying if i wasn't damaged, but i can honestly say I love who i am thanks a lot to some of those lessons i learned growing up in that environment...
Everyone I know thinks that Lil Wayne has the most skill.
T I is the most badass.
Riannah has had an extermely messed up life.
Sage Francis is all of that and so much more. His lyrics have such deep lyrics. Every time I listen to this song I realize more of the verses. Its Like a goldmine of understanding. I think that Sage is and always will be the most experenced rapper and has some amazing lyrics that go right to the soul.
I'm in a band with a friend of mine making electronic/rap music and I've always wanted to cover this song. After partaking in some luscious herb, I had a high moment and almost cried from this song. It's just so god damned beautiful.
@1309mw They must be privledged kids who would rather smoke or drink their parents money away and listen to Lil' Wayne. They must have never suffered like Sage. They dont understand

@mesauh Naw not the Studios,the Studios get used to,by the corporations that own the major label which basically all ran by Viacom I know alot of studio engineers that hate the shit they have to record Same as radio dj's In Detroit, they were talking about what they would do if they won the lottery on this radio station. And while discussing, one of the DJ's busted out and said"You know what I would do?I would stop playing this terrible music they make us play and play real shit until im fired.

@TheKipKadillac True, but a real musician does what he loves and not what they tell him to do. Is all part of the big plan to plant a shitty seed in our youth.

@Jackybones Compared to Sage he doesn't. Sage is like the Mariana's trench compared to Eminem.

@caleisthesex I will agree that sage is a better writer, and he is my favorite rapper... but I cant say his songs are any deeper. also what do you actually consider to be "deep"?

@sexykeenan They are?
Eminem's got some deep-as-fuck lyrics.
Of all the big hip-hop/rap artists, Eminem's the only one there with any idea how to hit a heart string.

lol, must have missed that memo. You need to broaden your listening to some artists which -didn't- sell out and use rap as a method of coping, they put their own problems into the rap. You're a fool if you think that he wrote this for our benefit, it's for his. But just on the off-chance that one of us is experiencing the same problems... here it is.

Then we saw him perform this song live in 2000.

And I will never try crack or heroin. I figure if the sating "Like father, like son" holds any validity, then I would be best off to not try that shit. RIP Dad. Now I'm going to drink vodka and cry.

@barberbeau i've had 3 family members die of that shit before 14 (excluding my father my fathers suicide when i was 2)
my mom quit after me and my brother begged her, she relapsed once,
I grew up in a crack house man.. that shit makes you wiser and humbler take what you can from it, i would be lying if i wasn't damaged, but i can honestly say I love who i am thanks a lot to some of those lessons i learned growing up in that environment...
we are damaged yet enlightened brother

Everyone I know thinks that Lil Wayne has the most skill.
T I is the most badass.
Riannah has had an extermely messed up life.
Sage Francis is all of that and so much more. His lyrics have such deep lyrics. Every time I listen to this song I realize more of the verses. Its Like a goldmine of understanding. I think that Sage is and always will be the most experenced rapper and has some amazing lyrics that go right to the soul.
