You know how good the song is when it escapes the stupid internet bullshit. No dislikes joke, no arrow to the kneee joke, just people appreciating the music and the amazing true lyrics these guys came up with. This is the realest shit out there, I can't get over this.
Great great vocals, great lyrics, good flow. Beat is kinda off (in my opinion). They should work together with Madlib. However, good intelligent lyrics. Nice stuff.
@kegatron95 : Maker and Ant both sampled the same track, but this album(A Tribute to Lisa Bonet) came out first in 2005, and qwel and maker dropped thiers in 2009.Good catch though homie
I would write a line of this song right here in this comment box, but i found that it is impossible to write the most meaningful verse because every single word in this song is pure beauty and bliss.
haha how could there be dislikes to this, that proves a point in its self. Please check out my first 100% original track release; add/sub please. - Thanks -Hip Hop Is Not Dead -
On Atmosphere's side, this might be one the most perceptive tracks Slug's put out. The only one I can think of that hit as hard, lyrically, was Give Me. It doesn't have quite the same oomph as Trying to Find a Balance, but the words are more generalizable to the human experience, gives you more to chew on.
I'm a little mad at my high school self for not finding this earlier.
its not complaining, its making it known that the world we are living in is fucked up. it needs to change, we are all in the same struggle and if u feel u r happy and content with our ideologies and our country then you are becoming the minority and this is not a "diss"
Almost feels as if they're yelling... at YOU. Like "You know we're boys, right? I got a fucking problem with you and you need to get back on your shit."
At least, I feel it sometimes. I'm gonna do my best to get my shit together so this song doesn't feel like I'm the one they're yelling at anymore.
This song is THE hip hop version of a day in the life by the beattles. First off, it's damn good. It completely shows the two different concerns of the two artists and blend them perfectly. One political and broad, the other emotional and local.
k, i think ive herd this beat on a qwel song, am i trippin? or am i right? this is on some other song, i know ive herd the beat before... help me out?
I'm just glad that there's a second video that over 100,000 people have seen. Songs like this need to be heard by EVERYONE. I was looking for this song, and the first video I found only had 264 views, which made me sad when I saw that a Lil' Wayne video had over 51 MILLION views. This is true music right here, not just someone trying to make a quick buck. I think if John Lennon were alive, even he'd be into this.
The problem with sex is self-respect calibration, the orgasm services your validation and the problem with love is that it lives in the book now. The problem with drugs is that they're too fucking good now. The problem with logic is that there's too many loopholes, and the problem with truth is that it's usually BRUTAL. The problem is I can't trust most of what I see so fuck it most of the problems in life must be me!
Fuck, I think Slug was looking thru my eyes when he wrote that.
think about it man, with lil wayne and all those fake ass rappers you only say that was tight to only a couple of bars or some stupid said they said but wit real rappers like these two is that throughout the whole song they keep you sayin dam that was tight and rewindin it,thats true hip hop.

the problem with hemp? nothing at all its one of the best agricultural resources and the problem with this verse is its not long enough to say how fucked up our petroleum consuming bellies are overinflating like the prices where the cost is thru the roof and the roof is made of poison and the poison is the solution. wen the notion shuld had never been tried to portray.
@industrialhemprocks mehh just cuz it rhymed it wasn't all that, you just sound like a stoner who's tryna promote weed and your giving it a bad name cuz your bars make no sense, your just adding words here and there to make the rhyming scheme. basically you suck
@ruffdog42 so what ur saying is the oil spewing crisis in the gulf shuld keep happening?cuz im stoner? hemp is the solution im drinking.
the problem with hemp? nothing at all its one of the best agricultural resources, nd the problem with this verse is its not long enough to say how f"d up our petroleum consuming bellies R overinflating, like the price of oil where the cost is thru the roof nd the roof is made of poison nd the poison is the solution.
