"...Im analyzin how im wantin her back, and wonderin exactly where she could be on the map......Im just sittin here spinnin the world on one finger, reoccuring thoughts of this brown skin singer..."
This song would be so much better without the chick singin in it in the background. That part sounds like she was added at the last minute and tried to sing the best she could in just one take lol.
They revisted an older Roots track with D'angelo called Hypnotic. If you listen to them together you will start to understand just really how ill Blackthought is as an emcee.
@NyleRaps Thought will be underrated until he leaves this planet, my man. It's a real shame. The man's birthed so many styles and showed MC's how to come proper over live instruments. Been following The Roots for more than a decade now and probably caught like two dozen shows already. I can't express how incredible Thought's improv skills are and how he keeps shit movin. It's like watching Miles Davis orchestrate a three piece band. If any of ya'll haven't seen them live yet, DO IT.
Guys, what is that song, when J pushes the RED BUTTON, and they going on the top of the tunnel with K in the black car, and K is putting that music in the radio? Anybody knows?
I like the album version better....uhg!
