What a deep track Back in the day Hip-Hop had a voice where people sent messages and meanings through songs,Nowadays people just be raping Hip-Hop to get money and fame,its Bullshit Golden age era Hip-Hop foreverr!
One of the greatest, and most underrated, rap songs of all time. I LOVE this with all my heart. This shit is so real and so touching. It's Gangsta Rap hard and touching at the same time. It deals with shit we all deal with on the streets. I've lived in Boston and Memphis. I know East Coast sound and Dirty South sound and this shit is as real as it gets. MAD props to Ed O G
Damn this is profound, speaking of a social message. Back in the day we had a balance, social, street, and stories. These cats now are not even close. They're too one dimensional, not to mention lyrically wack.
true words! sad story! ... just don't understand people that do not recognize the value of life ... material things can somehow be replaced but life is gone forever and so are dad's, mother's, friend's, beloved one's ... is that REALLY worth it?!
Whats interesting about Ed O.G, is that he sounds a lot like Diamond D but his lyrics are more like Common. What more can you say about this video. Real life shit! You aint gonna hear this on the radio anymore.
love boston, love this song, want the best for humanity as we continue on this journey! thank you to all yall who make the best of life and our shared experiences! dumb high right now, haha.. hopefully dont rub any of yall wrong... this beat oozes soul... thanks to whoever produced this beat.. peace yall.... fuck vevo

I saw ya the day before your death before you took your last breath How many of my real niggaz are still left? A lot got killed and filled a wooden box and went out like ?docks? I can picture when you went down just like a ?becks? Here one day and gone the next We all make mistakes and these are the breaks but I'm sick and tired of goin to wakes and seein an end, to my friend So we kicked it to the L to get some brew and gin Nobody said nothin everyone was pissed
Huge fan of Ed O.G. back in high school...and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Hip-Hop had a soul back then...Much respect to the tri-state and Roxbury!
Yo! If you down with that ILL HIP HOP & / or that GANJAH, then you need to peep the ORIGINAL videos on my channel !!! They will have you OPEN especially if you BLAZED !!!!
@malakaijub lol at replyin to a 4 month old comment. alright im not gonna sit hear and participate in a flame war when neither of us know much about each other. what makes u think im not "real"
ed og and da bulldogs, kudos cos ur flow and lyrics keeps me goin and reminds me of tha real hip hop way back that's ever the best. that`s da real shit guys.
I think Ed OG and da bulldogs are the truest rappers ever. This group were able to give us wisdom through hippop. No group has matched this kind of wisdom. Respect goes to Paris as well. This days, we have criminals rapping and everybody is following their footsteps. Anyway, on this earth, evil will be popular but the truth will reign supreme. Thanks Ed OG.
lol. Ok man, but tell me what other group u can think off that gave us pure wisdom? I am not talking about the ones rapping about bullet wounds that came from trying to rob little kids their bags of cookies. On a serious note, what other group do you think can match Ed O.G?
From the groupes u mentioned above, I could only see public enermy and pete rock and cl smooth spitting knowledge. Don't get me wrong, the rest just do fun music. There is nothing actually to learn from Wu tang clan to be honest with you.
@jamhal73 you're wrong as hell saying this about sunz of man my friend, I can tell you with all I know, that killah priest is all about wisdom...
also, to go on with his list: lost children of babylon (you may not agree with everything they say, but they teach you a lot stuff), canibus has lots of wisdom in his rhymes, not stuff like this, a lot more abstract, more philosphical. Sage francis rocks the wisdom thing, I can't forget about Deepspace 5, you can't possibly NOT name P.O.S. in this =]
Ok, ok, all these groups has spills wisdom but I have not heard of them. U should understand that I am not even in the United states. I knew about Ed O.G. all the way back in Nigeria. The artistes u mentioned are only known in some part of the U.S; so if Ed O.G could move impact knowledge in other part of the earth apart from the U.S, no doubt they are the numero Uno knowledge bangers.
@jamhal73 gotta disappoint you man, I'm from holland, which is europe in case you don't know =]
but I gotta admit, Ed OG has made it all over the world as a legend, but that doesn't mean the others aren't as good at the wisdom thing. on top of that, some of the MCs I mentioned actually are internationally known but ah well, I don't think fame should be a factor in comparing MCs
U are right, fame shouldn't be a factor. Other MCs are good as well but their outreach base is what I am talking about here. We can go on and on arguing. Lets leave that and enjoy the good works that everyone of these knowledge pushers are behind. We need more of these guys, Ed O.G, killer Priest, or what have u. We need more positive hippop artistes more than these gangsters fools polluting the mind of our youths today
@jamhal73@jamhal73 Brand Nubian, Da La Soul, Sunz Of Man, Tribe, The Roots, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Public Enemy, Dilated Peoples, Wu-Tang spit mad wisdom on many tracks... Those were groups, I can name solo artists if you want.
Yeah, the roots are good. Now, that's a worthy group. I respect where they are coming from and I believe in where they are going to. Wisdom is their motto.
