Now Young Buck has a version too. When are these rappers going to realize that they CAN'T TOUCH THE ORIGINAL. Give it up.

[DW1014]

[jordanironchef]

So good

[mcot]

fuck drake.. big hype over nothin, this was done years ago n he meks drake sound shit.... fuck drake.. sick of his name n he aint even all daT, I NO MAN DAT R BETTA DAN DRAKE... REAL TALK

[joojoobomb]

@mcot Who's to say your opinion is definitive?

And why does everyone harbor so much hate for Drake? Because he's successful? Because he's made a name for himself?

I'm not a Drake fan, but the unabashed, unwarranted hate for him is hilarious. Grow up, get over it. Be proud we, as Canadians, are finally getting some of the shine we so deserve.

Hater.

[mcot]

Yo ive had this trackz for over 5 years ya get me so people dat dint no about him u aint ready... he writes his bar perfect to goapele's n how he does it n wot he says meks this 1 of the best hiphop trackz of all time... fact

[JiggyMusicOfficial]

GREAT!

[MrMichaeloliva]

Know Joe for a good 16yrs and I love this ish the most Realllllllllllll

[Smileyfacedkiller]

no one did a better version. jo jo's version is the best. I hope he achieves his dreams of rap super stardom someday. I think he's just a victim of the times. Think about it. If Jo Jo Pellegrino came out around, let's say, 1994 like back when the real rap elements such as lyrics, flow, style, swagger, cadence..etc were of his value, he would have been a big hit. His lyrics as of right now on this song are almost close to par of what Nas was spitting on Illmatic.

[joojoobomb]

@Smileyfacedkiller I agree. It's unfortunate that Joey's become a victim of the current state of hip hop.

Today it seems the commercial hip hop landscape accomodates to fruit cakes or overtly "thug" personas. There's no middle ground, which is unfortunate for street poets like our friend JoJo.

[DohSiefer]

Dolla did a better version

[CRAZYREALNYCDC]

Morris Park,BX all day this shit if fire my g stay up MP 4EVER!

[soxer1758]

[konvictmuzik34]

First off, his death has noting to do about him haveing a better version. He still rips that beat even if he still alive, I been had his remix and he the first rapper to do a mix to it. Drake, is soft he never grew up in the ghetto or had to struggle. Dolla murder that track dead or alive he talk real shit in there it suck that real rappers get killed not these fakes like Drake,lil Wayne,gucci mane, and lil bossie.

[Steve3438]

I have to say I loved it the only person who really kills this is Dolla and drakes is ok but he don't kill it this dude here kills drake and if u have not heard dolla u need to RIP my nigga Dolla !!!

[CMSSSSS]

It not because dolla is dead that's he does the best version .

personaly i don't like the voice of dolla...

[KillaBMF]

My nigga Malakai and his friend Frostman went hard on this beat to Check it out its on Youtube

[000red000]

Fuck Drake! Jo Jo destroys this... BODY BAG & TOE TAG

[spliffgame]

[DiSaSTa81]

i agree i prefer Dollas over everyones but JoJo goes pretty hard

[Pat82b]

[TwinFromDaBay]

The original is Goapele - Closer

[Smileyfacedkiller]

I actually think the song Sunshine off the hitman for hire album is jojo best song.

[MrNoodles787]

hellz yeah . this video was fly

[segobiano]

be real witchu - jojo had this track first. when i heard drake put out the closer to my dreams I HAD to see if it matched up... ima give drake the respect but jojo holds this track. He made it deep and its superior. respects

[Formzy]

this is jojos hardest track ever hands down...not a big fan of his style n most of the shit he raps about, but dude got skills n he is from staten so i gotta show respect...he did it right here on this 1 for sure...

[carlosalmon]
