Hip Hop = Urban Poetry. Poetry is based on sincere and deep thoughts often in a lyrical or melodic format. Substantial is an Urban Poet - not a rapper. He, like many others, take pride in speaking about real matters such as family, friendship, romance, faith and the beauty of having just the bare necessities. No fast cars, big houses, psychedelic drugs, powerful guns, large entourages, expensive jewelry or large bank accounts required. Speak for the common folk - don't be a bad joke.
i dont know what is the original sample, but i can hear a little bit of piano from "Panacea - Pulse" at 0:31...but maybe im wrong, its probably only similar motif :)
@Gitsniks OH! Thank you. I couldn't quite make out those last few words. Now I feel kinda slow. -_- {but you have to admit, it does sound like he's saying "Asian".}
i love how all these hypebeast kids listen to music like substantial and others, which talks about how style and shit is pointless, and its the inside. just doesnt make sence.mainstream cats are poluting underground........not that mainstream cats are a problem, but, these cats just listen to make them "look" like theyre deep....haha
that dude w/ the obama magazine got some long ass nails lol good music though, so soothing and thought provoking. Warning, cheesey line: it just takes ou away...
this song has really made me think about the relation ship in in and i really dont want this to happen to me, i feel for substantial since all this actually happened to him and this is a great song that has opened my eyes.
dude how do you figure the asians hot, when shes in the clip for little more then a second...it was barely her whole face too, barely enough to define her race...idk..
Saw him live, warming up for cunnin'lynguist last thursday in Copenhagen. He's a monster live, and i think its up to him Blu, C. Hamilton and Theory Hazit to carry on Hip Hop-

Please help support Substantial and Marcus D's new upcoming album, The R&R...
Nujabes may be gone, but his influence lives on in the music of Bop Alloy and their affiliates.
