[EMan2751cK]

Big Mello

Gank Move

[EMan2751cK]

vontel - say playa

[lovingvegas71]

This is definitely one of my top 5 jams of all time. But I do have to admit that from 5:00 to the end of the song, that is my favorite chorus.

[rusharn4]

lyrics lyrics!!

[SUBhuma85N]

will smith copyed this :)



[gat113073]

M y heart is yearning for great music like this

[reinine18]

RYTMUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Nobullshitter1989]

[anonymoog]

<3<3<3

[NewVintageRap]

lifes a bitch and then you dieee.........

[kimmy1984]

Awwww Jr. High memories!! :)

[rompkin]

GREENWOOD , ARCHER AND PINE STREET BAND! Thats hot!

[robtang10304]

Nas sampled this track with ..lifes a bitch feat AZ!!

[Caveman7091]

@robtang10304 I'm SOOO glad that somebody said that cuz everybody is giving Elzhi credit for something he took (or paid homage to) from a undeniable classic album & song. Kids, please study the roots before your musical tree comes down!

[mattS5295]

@Caveman7091 elzhi sampled more of it than nas did. 

[EnjoiEase]

Elzhi sent me here :)

[singingbrother]

I'm surprised no one has remade this classic. Charlie Wilson's voice is epic, and his band was priceless!

[ladykhalia]

@singingbrother No disrespect intended but I am grateful no one has... too enjoyable for me.

[dylanvo]

@singingbrother ' Elzhi - Lifes A Bitch feat. Royce and Stokley Williams' Produced by Will Sessions. The outro of the song is a remake of the original. Gems!

[boosiechic1]

@singingbrother guy remade it

[recovering16]

@singingbrother That's probably why.. you just can't improve on perfection. This sounds as good today as it did when it came out in the early 80's!!

[NickVellaTV]

favorite song ever

[CHANIBUZ]

DAMN this song came out when i was 1 and its still jamming two thumbs ups

[jackie9847]

i wish todays music was old school and played out and i wish music like this was new school and played in

[klwewf]

Not only do I appreciate you uploading the tune, I appreciate you uploading it at quality volume and sound. Peace.

[cartoonist1975]

U can't keep running IN and out of my life ..... another thumbs up to the old school

[sweetnessnbk]

He said my heart is yearning for yo love! Dat right there get a man some off g.p. The word yearning is so much more meaningful than gimme some ass hoe! See the difference!

[ambushIV]

25 years old and I relate to Gap Band, Frankie Beverly/Maze, Earth Wind/Fire, Luther, Issac Hayes ect....GOOD MUSIC. I HATE the music that is on today....old school is the ONLY school!

[barbieberri02]

I Love This Song And I Was Born In The 90's (Very Young) I Rather Listen To This Than Lil Wayne And All Those Other People :)

[ejsmith4659]

I used to love this song...the 70s and 80s were the best time of music! Real words with meaning!

[SMOKEAHONTIS718]

gotdayum this shit is too hott...im 32

I always have my bass on full blast on this song...when it comes in, u feel it in your soul

[VKJthetruth]

Nas's "Life's a bitch" from ILLMATIC (Greatest hiphop album of all time by the way) feat. AZ. So this is where they sampled it from? This is pure soul.

[frossardstreetz4life]

@VKJthetruth And "Outta My Life" by Paris, from tha album "Guerrilla Funk" released on tha same year, bro'!

[EMan2751cK]

@frossardstreetz4life sick ass sample there!!

[Platinumchain]

[MrWolfpack13]

I was truly blessed to have parents that taught me what GOOD music is!!!!

[screwbangin27]

@MrWolfpack13 you aint lyin we youngsta's with soul..lol

[MonMajMal3]

@MrWolfpack13 ME TOO..........I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

[kaijahzmom]

@MrWolfpack13 I know that's Right, TELL IT!!!

[dawb86]

@MrWolfpack13 Speak! Remember when u used to hate listening to them oldies while u was riding in the car with them? Then when we got to a certain age we started knocking all them same songs, too?!?

[kirk1968]

@MrWolfpack13 Indeed, this is the real thing and it affected me my entire life.

[theladiesman0607]

I may have been born in 1982, but I LOVE THIS SONG! THIS SONG ROCKS! :)

[JW2K3]

charles hamilton...

[VANITY80]

Guy covered that in 1990

[mojahmusic]

I think this is one of the greatest and favorite guitar solos, it captures the true meaning and expression of the song. It is absolutely perfect for this song but I would like to know who the guitar player is. Does anyone know the lead guitarist and the other musicians. Give thanks

[ladykhalia]

@mojahmusic The guitars are performed by Fred Jenkins. The bass is performed by Robert Wilson. I mentioned the bass because that is the other instrument that sounds marvelous to me on this record. Keep feeling better and better from wonderful music.

[screwbangin27]

i thank god for having old parents!!

[BrutusMcCrunch]

Life has gone so far downhill it's a shame...when I hear music from my childhood it makes me get misty eyed...what the hell happened to this world....wish like hell I could start over man.

[GuillaumeZoeuf]

Thanks to Elzhi to make me discover that awesome track !

[lilmzgoodie]

OMG I am 15 and loving music like this.. This is the definition of REAL music!

[EddieRamon]

[tmac625]

Now this is ol' skool for yo' ass! Love it!!!!

[amd77j]

@tmac625 I definitely love it. The Wilson Brothers are just awesome!!!!

[myindio54]

Indio Calac dedicates this song to his wife Sandra Calac he's yearning  for her love all the time. I'm so happy to have found my mamas, she dedicates her life to her Daddy for all eternity... I love you Sandra....

[kirk1968]

@drakealexander1 Agreed! I love the opening notes.

[kirk1968]

I'm a 43-year-old white guy who grew up on this music. NEVER forgotten the 70s & 80s masters...these guys helped shape my adult world view. This is timeless music from a different era, a testament to these musicians. Old school :)

[DetectiveBlacksmith]

@kirk1968 it doesnt matter what age or race you are, legendary music is universal :D

[kirk1968]

@DetectiveBlacksmith Exactly!

[dreameryoung38]

@kirk1968 ahhh ya got good taste in music.Loved me some Gap Band

[kirk1968]

@dreameryoung38 Isley Brothers & ConFunkShun as well, today's "music" can't touch those guys!

[UBZUKI]

@kirk1968 i hear that...absolute golden time of life ,,,,

[royalcoils100]

@kirk1968I like you white guy bcus if you're jamming to this you are cool as hell

[tamecka123]

GOOD SONG !! :)

[princs68]

This is the joint here!

[jenja718]

can anybody tell me this,,,, why cant the so called singers today listen to real good music such as this and from this era and really do homework by taking notes, study, learn. well you know when you really think about it,,,,, back then the majority of the singers/groups were talented and thats the one thing that they LACK, TALENT. so its really not their fault they just cant help it. when you got it u got it when you dont,,,,, GET THE HELL OUT THE BUSINESS.

[ROCKNROLLFAN]

my mom loves this song. ill pick this album up if I see it.

[jdpatterson100]

all of you young people posting your age,it don,t matter 4 real....listen and learn!! I appriciate the fact that you can relate to this OG flava. keep living,keep learning.PEACE!!!!!!!!!

[Kell1295]

[jay2tails]

Lady GaGa disliked this song, pure evil!!!

[oldskoolgirl54]

To the 14, 15, 16 years old....just don't download...do yourself justice and go to an old skool concert. A once in a lifetime experience!!!

[tulsa4life]

An excellent classic

[breakmon240]

I like this who gives a FUK!! .......I first heard this song on trip to Ireladn with my

parents I was 13 at the time and I really liked this song, I bought the record (45) in Ireland but when I got back home could not play it on my record player.

[TheBluntreaper]

Keep on running in and outta my life(keep on running) shyt i been listenin to this sincei was 5 and im 21. I commend any young person for knowin older music, these songs are not fads, their timeless. listen to some marvin gaye, stylistics, ink spots, billy holiday, cole porter, ol frank sonatra, The dells, boby darin and plenty more. Thats good music.

[lowriderbandfan]

[Oc4ever12]

This song brings back soooo many memories!!! Thanks for uploading!!

[theiccemann]

The younger generation missed out!

[moderndisco]

I wonder what happened to the Wilson brothers who came out with same damn good music during the early 80's; three brothers from Tulsa, OK . I was in high school when these guys were in their hey day years and came out with great funk music. This tune is my favorite tune by them.

[blackbamabound]

@moderndisco One of the brothers died 4 months ago. Had a heart attack. He was 53 years old....I think it was Robert. You know about Charlie ....don't know about the other one.

[pimppappi702]

you can see the luminati sign in the middle yah better repent or your going to hell, you sold your soul to satan

[LetsGetItCrunk]

@pimppappi702 yeah, now that you mentioned it, I see the Pentagram and pyramid.

[oopsart2]

I'm only 4 years old. But I remember jamming to this shit in my mammies belly! They dont make music like this anymore!

[suggestlife]

Why do people feel the need to put....."and im only 16...and im only 17...im 14...im 18!"....who gives a fuk how old u r. Good music is Good music. And anybody with ears should be able to recognize that. AND IM 23 BISH'Z!!! lol

[wildmanchris200]

@suggestlife Suck my dick, dickhat!

[Saibot00]

[tofelt]

@suggestlife lolllll. come on. you remember what is was like to be THEM. they have to feel justified as to Y they LOVE this music so much. or to say, 'hey, look, im only 16. i FEEL you OLD SCHOOL people.' as if we should be flattered. i have a friend. her son used to RUN to her when he heard a borrowed beat in his rap music. he didn't know it was borrowed OLD SCHOOL. i just laugh. THEY are so cute. lol.

[blysk212]

@suggestlife my father used to play this every weekend and i gotta say alotta old school stuff is better than alot of the bullshit today and im 23 also lol

[Juniversal]

@suggestlife...lmao. That pisses me off too. "I'm 12 years old and I like this music and hate my generations music!!"

I think to myself "So. You want a cookie?!?!"
