[JiggabooJerkk]

ive been in this situation for the past two years!!!!! this song is just perfect!

[rrrrrirrrrrs]

everyone loves there best friend :(

[KatalystK]

This is one of the illest J5 tracks. So truthful; no wonder people are blown away when they first hear this. Relate to your life in all aspects and times. Bottom to the top or vice versa.

[RESISTANCEhalesalive]

When i first heard this (back in the day) i was "im not experiencing whats happening in this song but its still dope" 6 years later now im like "hhhoooooly shit!! im in this situation and i dont know what to do!!!"

[dammitcrap]

hey everyone! guess what!?!?!?!??! dont fuck the girl of your life that this song applies to! it will end up badly! no matter how awesome she may seem or how romantic this song will portray it!! if shes your friend let her stay that way! only trouble results from doing this kinda shit! trust me!

[busbid]

[thegoodsmaster]

[LuiciSpizzabar]

[luridhiphop]

[99ag1436]

my pen drips as i scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion.

[smeauky513]

@99ag1436 it's emotion not devotion :)

[MrMudgolem]

31 people crossed the line

[leadbytheheart]

I crossed the line once, it all seemed to go really well at first but then it suddenly started going wrong and now I've lost my best friend

[baca143]

Love this, like the rest of Jurassic 5's raps :D

Real Hip-Hop never stop like Pop, and all the other fuck't up stuff :)

[Fluffaahy]

1,470 people with good taste in music



[Fluffaahy]

31 people with their own opinion

[61n9ner]

what year is this?

[DDMONEYY]

seriously DO NOT CROSS THE LINE..... Things will never be the same, you will regret it i promise ;_;

[GeoMur]

People, think carefully before crossing the line. I did that .. I'm miserable now. Lost everything good and wonderful I had with her.

[89Amst]

Best friends make a perfect match, If you only knew that...

[puhl117]

This beat...........

[okanen18]

@puhl117 the beat is awesome

[DNXMRXLNS]

We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line

[DaleWildman007]

Thanks for posting this sht dude!

[user820109]

jurassic best track!

[ObeseKings]

the thin line is a bitch..if it goes well, you win. if it goes bad, it's all over. there's no going back.

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@ObeseKings sad bu true

[Kiddytalls]

I think everyones been got tha thin line with some one. Epic track!

[kelltastic123]

Made love to a beautiful friend of mine i thought i'd never have a chance with, took me three years for us to muster up the guts. That thin line... we finally crossed it.

[ninthguardian9]

This song is modern magic. Says from the start "giggle giggle", (fixes tie if i had one) umm but yeah after that it is rare art like this that gives our dignity a fighting chance! Gave me a feeling of honor in having my friendship with my best lady friend not getting someplace we are not ready for it to go despite anything else. Thanks philosophical players.

[LasseLoopDK]

hate this shit. why do fine rappers always have to sell out at some point?

[bakoch25]

@LasseLoopDK

selling out to nelly furtado? nah, brah. her voice fits this song well

[MrBrucethegoose]

@LasseLoopDK this songs deep bro, far from selling out

[watryanuts]

Sitting in this exact scenario right now

[killerZee901]

@watryanuts know how you feel bro. i am in the exact same situation

[FV312]

@watryanuts I hear that man!

[33rhodes]

I loooove Jurassic 5. It makes me so sad that rappers nowadays can only rap about themselves, money, and biotches. SMH. They could take a lesson from J5

[peteymandem]

@33rhodes thats always been the way, you just have to find the gems

[Thedarkheritage1]

J5 were involved in this -- HOW' TO' RAP

thats the beeest book on hiphop, all the most skilled lyricists were involved in putting the book together-- Tribe, Public Enemy, Kane, G Rap, Pharcyde, Brand Nubian, Black Moon, Pharoahe Monch, etc..

[Panic39dotcom]

This is so true .....

[LasseLoopDK]

i fucking hate when music fits emotions, its just a little too much of emotions fuuuuck

[rovietorres]

@LasseLoopDK

couldn't agree more. old feelings are brought upon tunes we use to listen to. good and bad. mostly bad

[MorningWoods69]

@rovietorres Music doesnt help you get through it? Doesn't make you feel like your the only one who felt the way you feel. And they got through it and so will you. This song brings back memories for me too. You need to make peace with yourself and move on. You'll feel alot better.

[MimiKatastrophe12]

@LasseLoopDK Music should always have emotion.

[WarmasterTsavongLah]

Favorite song on this track, know the feeling, J5 NAILED IT as always.

[TeemLean]

the intro beat SLAPS

[Roobin22]

SWEET BEAT

[mrcodyhastings]

chali 2na is the god of rhyme

[spjmasson]

got this girl she's my girl then i got this girl she's my crush my freind my party person, sometimes i wish i could show her this song then she'll get it , then she'll understand,,,, sometimes love aint it, chemestry, and snap shots of life really make your heat pump

[0ldSchoolHipHop]

@spjmasson feel where your coming from man

[spjmasson]

@0ldSchoolHipHop thanx man



[rfrakctured]

@spjmasson Wise words..that's the story of my life, man.

[Patches]

This song is perfect for me and my friend although she has no idea i feel this way

[LevelHeadedUser]

I wonder if she still listens to this too. Probably not and that hurts the most to be honest.

[labelkilled]

@LevelHeadedUser Things you may not know about Nelly Furtado: She grew up participating in the hip hop community doing vocals on hip hop projects before she even finished high school. She was in a trip hop group call Nelstar in T.O. She's apparently also very good friends with Swollen members, I've seen her in interviews with them on Much. That's just from what I know and I wouldn't consider myself a fan, I'm sure there's more info out there about her past.

[justanormalguy18]

oh where did the good times go?

[xXxNemoEmoxXx]

@zigml that's not how you spell jurassic

[jagexfailshard]

any song i hear from jurassic 5 makes me always think of the 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s :)

[FISHFLYZZ]

should i spill all my guts???

[Daftpunkfan5cp]

Wow he has the best voice ever

[50peso50]

Every guy in this world that listened to this song just thought of one exact girl when they listened to this... then realized they are with someone else. Well bros i got match

[macklemoreosis]

man I miss J5, this was middle school for me.

[stokelycalm]

dope!

[georgie0farmer]

This song perfectly describes everything I've been feeling, to a T.

[onlypinkcolors]

spill all your guts. :)

[MFINNZ]

Respect the thin line people!

[MrJohnson911]

The great thing about this music is that it dont matter if you dont like hip-hop because this has a little bit for everyone.

[xquesemueratujefax]

i just sent this link to the girl ive been crushing on for 5 years....

[DrTumb]

Wow. I'm having a crush on my best girl-friend.I am totally not sure what to do. I asked my uncle for advice. His answer was good for two reasons.

1. It really helped

2. He linked this song <3

[phlupple]

@DrTumb Reason 1 is good. Reason 2 is fuckin awesome.

[majiksapien]

In favourites.

[sachacorleone]

THIS IS SO FUCKIN' GOOD!

[GoattCheese]

Im smoking my last bowl to this song

[MrLantic]

Religion gives people fake hopes... it only supports people in what are for them ''hard times''. im atheïst

[Ferriswheeljunky]

@MrLantic I never thought it was possible to completely generalize the thoughts and emotions of six-billion people in one sentence. Congratulations, you've proved me wrong. Keep up the good work!

[GoattCheese]

@Ferriswheeljunky Probably the best youtube comment Ive heard in awhile man, lol

[yaroslav64]

@Ferriswheeljunky Obviously you've never read anything about the human condition or human nature. Keep up the good work!

[Ferriswheeljunky]

@yaroslav64 I don't have to be an expert in human condition or human nature in order to point out an obvious generalization. It does not take an expert to conclude that the original poster is biased, labeling religious beliefs as "fake" (the bias was later reinforced by the admission "I'm atheist"), which only hurts the credibility of the statement. Furthermore, I AM actually fairly knowledgeable in both of the aforementioned fields and would love to further discredit the statement in question.

[Ferriswheeljunky]

@yaroslav64 It is supported by neither science nor logic that it is one's nature to gravitate toward religion only during "hard times" (as it is just as logical for one to detract from religion during "hard times"). The statement is situational at best, which suggests that this a matter of nurture (for instance, one's upbringing regarding religion) rather than nature.

[yaroslav64]

@Ferriswheeljunky I'm not commenting about what that other guy said about people only being religious during "hard times" I was just saying that generalizing humanity is common.

[Ferriswheeljunky]

@yaroslav64 In keeping up with the trend continued by your last post, I feel compelled to add: Keep up the good work!

[PurpleThunda]

i cross the line into the world of friends with benefits... its where its at

[leemuzi]

23 very sad people

[jmpriest19]

who disliked this song if they can find a better song then this then i will be in shock

[jmpriest19]

[kevindagame]

@jmpriest19 Probably a bunch of Drake fans

[1whitestripesfan]

[turkeysub3000]

Jurassic 5 forever.

[steve84mc]

[Fly0nLittleWing]

Love love love this song

[1chi50]

Wow, really felt this song, since I was in this situation with a friend I made this year. I respected the boundary, but I always wondered "what if..." Well, we're on break a week ago because we were poison for each other.

[jonyz1986]

Man!! im going thru this now. Really wanna cross the line but dont know??? Its tough. I sware shes perfect for me.

[pieeatersguilds]

[mistahjc]

@alex0matafuka0lenord 28 people didnt learn a lesson.

[MrTonyalvarez]

This song is so true....I crossed the line and lost a good friend.

[albatrosscafe]

[themightygooners4321]

I'm not a huge Hip-hop fan, but Jurassic 5 are so so good.

[neatoooooo]

[kingdrugs]

[ianpelzer1]

thanks J5. You speak to me

[ICEvaliantsminion]

J5, i love you so much. Y U BREAK UP?! </3

[TimeForDubSex]

ARD BODIED TUNE

[roderv]

this is outrageous!!

[DJBobzilla480]

21 people obviously have never been in this kind of dilemma, or they just need to clean the wax out! haha

[theoski16]

I don't understand.Justin Bieber has 350 mln views but I don't think that somewere is better music than J5.It's much much MUCH better than the others!

[xCopps]

@theoski16 shit changes....our parents thought the same about our generation of music

[khfro]

@xCopps im 15, and all my freinds and i think that the music these days suck. so its not just the old people in this one

[Fly0nLittleWing]

@theoski16 Will everyone stop bringing up Justin Bieber in other music videos on here! I'm trying to listen to decent music and don't need to be reminded about some twelve year old fag who makes more money than me. Yes, it is annoying how so many people buy into his mass-marketed overdone melodies but please stop comparing everyone to him! Even if its not in his favor. (Sorry its just there seems to be one of these comments on every video)

[TheMaxolsen]

sick tune

[oobilatorsucks]

god this is amazing

[telepathy90]

exactly what im going through! this blows me away.

[Mattu190]

@king1bs yea what I meant it only works if both people feel the same way lol it is fucked up if only one does.

[clarencejones07]

J5 were interviewed in the book "HOW TO RAP: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC"

Def worth checking out, drop a ton of info about the art of rapping

[VexingSoul]

@clarencejones07 LOL, "Art" is not a word that can EVER be used to describe RAP. Hip Hop is GARBAGE.

[Crazytribe]

@VexingSoul Incorrect.

[Drjebus]

@VexingSoul you must be religious to have convictions like that

[VexingSoul]

@Drjebus haha no im actually an atheist. Whatever peace dude, to each his own, i was just in a bad mood yesterday.

[mrniceguyj17]

@VexingSoul ART is exactly what this and many other hip hop songs are... Shakespeare and Chaucer cant even compete with some of the metaphors and verbal flow/meter that TRUE hip hop ARTISTS put forth... better check your mind

[dammitcrap]

@mrniceguyj17 ok... ill agree that a lot of hip hop artists put out some pretty good shit (by a lot i mean a couple)... but are you seriously comparing them to someone who said the same thing 500 years ago? really?

[engarde67]

@mrniceguyj17

J5 are certainly artists, but do your homework before you compare any hip hop artist to the legend of shakespeare. A single sentence spoken by protagonist Hamlet can have four or more different layers of meaning (literal and metaphorical), not to mention numerous allegory throughout the play like meta-drama. He didn't even have a producer to keep his meter for him and was still able to compose ENTIRE plays in iambic pentameter...better check your mind fool

[bnjmn07]

@engarde67 hahah really man. it's an expression.

[OGJDizzleFaRizzle]

@clarencejones07 can i send this to more j5 videos and copy/paste this?

[xxslayer66xx]

@clarencejones07 almost certain this is an advertisement considering its in almost every song on youtube I listen to but I just dont care. People need to learn so we dont end up with more horrible rap music.

[hefaistionr2d2]

Hip hop isn't dead it went underground.

Damm this track is dope!! Even Nelly

Jurassic Five 4-ever !!

[netdiggity]

@hefaistionr2d2 Yo ... I don't think Hip Hop ever LEFT the underground!

[hefaistionr2d2]

@netdiggity

I think, that earlier there was a bigger Hip-hop movement, but the real hip-hop not the wanna bee gangsters from today!

[YOUNKS1991]

Damn this song hits a spot in my life! She left me hanging but this song makes me realize it ws for the best!!! Peace and love!

[benjippoi]

you won't see any flaming under a J5 Vid on you tube... respect your music is reaching a lot of people... so good to just chill out to

[Dracpac]

Always enjoyed this song and now it just makes me sad.

[jordanjohnson27]

its amzing how some people realate to this sng then others have no clue what its about, the meaning lets the emotions out

[GanjaGremlin420]

Respect

[purpleblake]

been looking for this for a while so glad i found it,. Has a huge impact on my life as well not just one person but two now :-(

[soljoner]

oooooldie, but a goodie.

[deadmansvoice]

I respect the fact that you respect the "thin line" and not move foward... but dont forget that the "THIN LINE" only exsit if you believe it to be there, youll never know what could be if you dont corss that very invisible "thin line" :P its a simple question with a heavy answer, but your ready for it either way. go go go! dont keep yourself from love ^^

[eyesphere]

This song is dangerously addictive...

[alexyxray]

the 21 ppl who dont like this obviously are justin bieber fans

[Bi0mesis02]

@alexyxray Dude be ashamed of being such an attention whore seeking for thumbsups, get off underground ignorant faggot.

[alexyxray]

@Bi0mesis02 u need to shut ur fucking mouth i love this song i dont give a shit about thumbs up im making the point that people who dont like this shit obviously are the same idiots who like justin bieber 

[Bi0mesis02]

@alexyxray your comment was coincidently the same exact pattern as all of those other comments insulting one thing to praise another or pointing out how unbelievable it was that some peeps had downvoted a video, who do you think you are fooling, negro?

[alexyxray]

@Bi0mesis02 cause i agreed with those comments so i decided to duplicate it to show that i agree with there compare and contrasting points between wack and good artists but we done here cause im not bout to argue over youtube on such a great songs video

[Bi0mesis02]

@alexyxray true that, fuck it

[opium177]

thank u ..

[Snuffled]

this dudes are fucking amazing

[Batinhoo]

perfect beat

[Keukeu45]

fuck the thin line

[weemike1000]

ONE WORD SOMES THIS UP!!!! "TRUE"!!!!

[teunzeist]

The realest song ever
