Great music.......makes me think bout when I was growing up....imma 80's baby but this shit is real soul.....it will never die out......Chi Town n full effect .
Been wanting to know the name of this song at least 5 years now, heard it on Pandora this morning, and literally took a flying leap across the room to get a pen and paper to write down the name! I LOVE THIS SONG! :-D
@camking88 i feel what u saying and your right rappers didnt create the conditions that plauge the inner city but the rappers by making the kinda music they make are not helping the situation at all they seem to glorify it making it seem cool to sell drugs bust guns, and treat women like objects their not saying they want help their saying we like it like this cause where the one's making it like this
@Zenlake Hell yeah! I thing the internet is a great instrument that can destroy or move the world to a better place! this is liberty of comunication and minds!! LETs THINK WHiOUT LIMITS=)!XD
so really when this so called gangster rap came out it ruined the image of the black community looked how beautiful this song sounds black people loved each other
back then the music proved it rap really pulled us under anyone agree with me
"this so called gangster rap came out it ruined the image of the black community...anyone agree with me"
No. Crack, and what was actually happening in real life ruined the Black community, along with silly analysis like this that skips over the real issues, for platy diatribes in place of the work and solutions that are needed.
@lonewolf261000 Drugs and inner city violence fucked over the black community, not gangster rap. Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg didn't create the conditions that plagued the black community, fostering the conditions for gangster rap to be created. The system failed them as children, so they created a new art form known as rap and expressed their outrage about it. Gangster rap isn't about love because they were not experiencing love. It got cartoon-y after record companies got involved.
no man sorry, I don't think anyone was experiencing tough times like in the 80's back then. This music is good and I wish it was still around, as in more new people doing it, but I can't blame a music type for people changing. Like rap was also good, until everything became a business. That's what happens when you take art away from an art form.
I believe this was a hit in 1967.... Funny how Music has gone down hill since then. It seemed to me after '69 the music changed,there were some gems along the way, some music still left in the hearts of some artists, But Then..............................
I'm a headbanger and listen to Slayer and all that. But this is the real deal! Without all the studio tricks, they don't need them, balls out in your face killer stuff!
@stevie68a What? You're not listening to the right rap music then. If you're listening to the shit on the radio then yes, that is garbage, if you would search underground for Hiphop then you would see.
umm, is it just me or are the people on this album cover white? *scratching head* i dont remember Coooley High having white actors...anyway, GREAT SONG!!!
@haneehoo09 - At a quick 1st glimpse, I thought exactly the same. But upon a closer look, I realized they only look white from a distance/ too small. That woulda been crazy though! lol
1st heard this when I was a 16yr old merchant seaman anchored off Limmasol Cyprus now 44 yrs later having left England I am playing it in my home in Cyprus great great song
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my ringtone on my blackberry. download it at hahahaa jk, it plays like 3 times non stop on my phone. WHole song hahaah
I think what's sadder than the funeral is the fact that Preach and Chochise's friendship was strained and just about over. Had that same experience with my old best friend Robb, although thank God Robb didn't die, not even on the front lines of Iraq, it still sucked.
make me wanna hold someone...
