Grouch doesn't use FL Studio, he uses an 808. Listen to his lyrics...

[clutchification]

@R2L850 dont hate on FL haha. Its a powerhouse

[R2L850]

i'm willing to bet this is a FL studio beat and damn he ripped it.

[freindsareforever1]

[davidgee562]

[balince1980]

Honestly, an EMCEE like grouch and EMCEES like mumbi[zion i] eligh etc... can make a dope track with 5 bucks and a keyboard. We shouldnt rob them of whats rightfully theirs but hey, let them decide.

[blunted210]

"I'm all about good taste, expensive or not, no sensitive spot, in my self view I like what i got"- The Grouch

[awesomeandy9723]

at 1:18 when its says "with Bizarre on a scratch or track" or whatever he says. and after theres that "ah yeah" ive heard that before, if someone knows what im talkin about let me know.

[jm213213]

@awesomeandy9723 its Bizarro. another living legend.  just sounds like hes scratching a basic scratch sample...

[rcrouch06]

[bayoak]

Pure musical genius and lyrics for the masses!

[kinstube]

THANK YOU !!!!!

[ahhimazombie]

Music should be given away but if you can afford to support an artist i think its an obligation. I have downloaded music only to go buy it later many a time.

[THEREALSIDGUY]

"experiment with this like its different cuz it is, they made the norm, and its not what i live"

can you even believe this came out in 2000??

[ShotimeSports]

love this fucking song..

[ctfbffsby]

im a simple man, i like pretty things, i like funny things.

[MrHiphopgalore]

U NEEDA SEE THE LETS ROLL VIDEO FT CEASEFIRE IF YOU LIKE THIS SONG

[b017ni3]

@42okilla - that depends on where you live...I live in San Francisco...we've got amoeba, rasputin and creative music, to name a few...

[iamhiphop361]

@underground... That's true man, I'm with u on that one. I didnt hear hardly any of my music thru piracy. Not saying I don't download, there's just diff ways of discovering artists other than piracy... Which does hurt independent artists and small labels.

[420Colorado420]

Real, good music. 

[nickyoucallmedre]

I support the shows & venues they play, But i would rather download the album, opposed to putting $15 in BMG's pocket.

[nickyoucallmedre]

I will pay for these albums if, said artists would not sell out and start making music for a paycheck, and not their artistic expression. The artist will sell out and start making music for a paycheck.  Therefore I will not pay for these albums. Do you understand Listener?

[ReversibelNagard]

@nickyoucallmedre if the artist doesn´t earn enough from his art, possibly he goes commercial. And to pay not for something you like - is stupid. Cause you sure pay for a lotta you don´t like. And at the end, how expensive is a album you can listen over and over ?

[42okilla]

yo where the fuk can i buy underground cd's at a walk in store, because ive been jamming underground illegally for years cuz i can never find most underground cd's in a store yo.

[laser1ish]

@42okilla amoeba music

[danrawkz]

[natedeinzer]

wayyy too ill for ANY radio

[WattaFewl]

@mrjayy420 what you say makes a lot of sence but even People Under the Stairs encourage stealing their album if you cant afford it haha.

[Cutcannibalz]

.. jep. maybe.... propably... perhaps.... its possible..well anyway, on the bottom line its one of the best songs i've ever listened to in rap/hiphop.

[The12ize]

BEanS n rIcE All DAY HAHA... SHIT iZ out dIS BiTcH !!! LATEZ IM JUST A SIIMPLE MmmANnn

[undergroundh1ph0p]

THE GROUCH!!!!!! TOO DOPE!!!!!!!

[kingpinzshop]

Y'all really shouldn't care what other people like or what they're listening to but just know that this is good, that it's dope.

[S1mPleM4n1228]

This is my fucken song,grouch couldnt have explained it better,fuck complications,and the mainstream. The grouch is the shit,fuck lil wayne,drake,and all those fake ass motherfuckers with there complicated ass beats.haha SIMPLE MAN BITCH!!

[GoldenTouch3D]

[rmc436]

<3Legends

[fitamendoza1]

The radio is flooded with garbage, this song actually gave me the chills .

Great song.

[punisher00109]

@fitamendoza1 so im not alone..

[Kemege]

i like beans and rice

[DFTMInc]

always think thats a scale topped with a heap of bud on the front cover! haha. Groch till then end yo!

[mrjayy420]

People need to stop illegally downloading music. if you buy the album they get more money for the next album to be bigger and better. thumbs up if you agree.

[ProphetKirsch]

@mrjayy420 I believe artists like this care more that their message gets out in the chance that it can bring change and love into someones life is defiantly more important to them. if you can afford it defiantly go buy it but if you need to buy your kids clothes and food or just keep the lights on I'm sure the grouch would be happier knowing your kids are in a loving home and you have love in your heart. there are many albums that I've illegally downloaded and still gone out and bought later

[bherrity]

@ProphetKirsch gotta agree with that. besides, record sales aren't even where the real money is at with underground artists, it's all about shows

[MorbidMorals]

@ProphetKirsch yo...preach sun...preach :)

[brandon4lunch]

@mrjayy420 i agree and disagree... music should be free honestly.. and it is "stealing" but i really doubt many of these artists are shorter on cash then we are....

[Andres247ish]

@mrjayy420 true.. they should illegally download main stream and buy real music like living legend cds!

[croldrin]

@mrjayy420 i liked your comment till you asked for thumbs up that just makes you a mainstream bitch im sorry its the facts

[JasonG003]

@mrjayy420 This shit will never get played on mainstream, and without youtube where anyone is able to download audio for free, you can almost guarantee he wouldn't be near as big is he is ( which i'm aware isn't saying much), in turn crippling his career more than illegally downloading.

Your intentions are well though.

[WakeTheFugUpAmerica]

@mrjayy420 It's called going on tour, and selling merch

That's what's going to happen within the next 20 years no one will ever stop downloading music so don't ask. Now we have ACTA being passed because of people like you. Would you give up your civil liberties to stop kids who download some music for free.

I listen to such a variety of music that if I was to pay for all of it I'd be head over heels in debt. So no thank you I'll listen to what I want when I want.

[partnerplayer]

@WakeTheFugUpAmerica

It called get a job and you can afford 15 bucks for a cd... Clean

[WakeTheFugUpAmerica]

@partnerplayer

Yeah 15$ for a CD

My musical variety is so large that if I bought all the music I listen to I'd be broke as a joke.

Right now I have over 600gb of music.

You can store about 312 songs on a 2gb mp3 player That's and average of 93,600 songs. If I where to buy all of that it would cost me 99 cents per song. So basically I would have spent $93,600 on music.

If you can find me a job that will allow me to buy that PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

[partnerplayer]

@WakeTheFugUpAmerica

If you have the time to listen to 600 gb of music you wont have time to find a job.

[bloddfolife243]

@mrjayy420 most people cant go out and buy this guys mixtapes or cds right now... thats the problim, tottaly agree with you , but i cant buy his shit i have to download it illegaly cuse i can haha

[lankball911]

@mrjayy420

if the music maker truly does it for the music, any money they make is a secondary bonus, plus...musicians should be touring doing live shows to get their money

[goose3249]

@mrjayy420 yes and no, buy the album directly from the artist, but buy it from a store and you're hardly directly supporting anyone other than the producer... and I dont know about you but I say fuck the big production labels, it's different in the underground true because they are often self produced but as a rule of thumb, buying a cd from the store don't do shit

[iWantMyNuggets]

@mrjayy420 Have to download music because they dont have old school music and stuff like this in music stores where i live. I buy from itunes,

[Girsbestfriend]

@mrjayy420 I disagree because the music won't be better just because they have more money, you think money is all that matters to people like this but it doesn't.

[l33t0wnzy0u]

@mrjayy420 some people cant even afford to buy music, they fail, i fail, shit, the united states fails.

[theh8te]

@l33t0wnzy0u Well it's clear now that you've got this shit figured out too. Everyone's right and somehow they're all wrong.

[l33t0wnzy0u]

@theh8te exactly...its so fucking wierd how things are in 2011. o.O

[lolimfalling]

@mrjayy420 no, illegally downloading music allows bands to reach a much larger audience thus being more popular and then making more $. if it wasn't very piracy i would have never heard of the grouch... how can they bigger if i and others never hear them? Piracy doesn't hurt band profits at all, it just makes them popular. Only people hurt by piracy and record companies, not the performers, who deserve the money anyway.

[undergroundh1ph0p]

@lolimfalling yes but in the underground most of them dont have a huge record company, alot of them have their own label so you are takin from them in the end.. The Grouch's label is Legendary Music which was started by his group The Living Legends.

[norcalkingsfan]

@mrjayy420 then why is it that most artists' best shit is in their early years, more money doesn't guarantee the best product. Perfect examples in rock and roll and rap: Elton John and TI

[FrostytheSnowthug]

@mrjayy420

straight up donate however much the album costs to the artist. buy merch at shows. they'll get more money that way.

[lilgtiger]

@mrjayy420 WTF IDC

[robertsrashad]

@mrjayy420 I totally agree! That's what The Grouch's song "Yardwork" is about.

[wesleywillisrip]

@mrjayy420 buy their merch instead, download and spread the music

[LURKSS]

@mrjayy420 well you and all the idiots who thumbs-ed up, just listened to an illegally downloaded version so get over it

[bigjsway29]

@mrjayy420 how can money make their next album better? their talent is the only thing that can make their next album better, pretty sure they got enough money to buy all the equipment.

[flawlessfreshness]

@mrjayy420 you sound like you got money why dont you buy everyones album for us?

[flawlessfreshness]

mrjayy420 is a donkey

[scuffymcgee2225]

@mrjayy420 You know what fucker, maybe people are to poor to by this music so downloading it the smart way is better, ya fucking idiot piece of shit FUCK YOU ill eat ur wiener
