I can tell this one is going to be on my playlists for quite some years. You know some songs are dope, but fade away. This shit right here is for real...
they're sit as hell in concert, but no disrespect. they aint the best combo..try outkast or black star or even ugk, but living legends is legit cant disagree with that.
I stumbled across Zion I & Grouch, at first I had no idea they were even making music together, about 3 years ago and have loved their music since. I can't honestly say this about many artists but they've definitely changed my life, influenced it for the better, at least. Being from Australia I can't say I've come in to contact with many other people who like this type of music, but I spread it as much as possible.
You see to me these two men are more than just your UG(underground) soulful poerty sayers. They are teachers. I believe that they have the power to be heard louder than anyone in our history as a nation. And if enough take people will sit and the time to listen they would understand. To me The Grouch And Zumbi are the MLK,JFK, Malcom X and whoever else of OUR time Their words are just as if not more inspiring. They can change this world. But only if we let them. Tell everybody.LET THEM BE HEARD!
So what if I struck a nerve, I suck if it's just a curve, that ruckus is just a blurb, won't last past the blast off, I'm on to other worlds~ The Grouch
Isnt it dope this shit is comin out Oakland!!! a city with such problems, violence and negativity yet this great positive hip hop music comes out. It shows the diversity of music and people in Oakland! I love my city
Zumbi is the illest emcee with the sickest lyrics and flows! Damn, I've seen Zion I grow quick!! Wise hip hop, we slap this loud out here in the bay. Much love.
This is a great song, the positive message is incredibly deep. Towards the end of the song you get a chance to hear K. Flay sing. She is also an artist not to be overlooked. Her part on this song is only a sample of her talent. You do not get to see her face in this video but, she does have an amazing voice, and rhymes galore. Check her out.
While you're at check out Brayal's music too! You can find him at reverbnation
Lyrical Genius. The Grouch is my true hero, every word holds a key that unlocks a door in your mind which unleashes a flow of imagination, or connects you to the lyrics, I live in his music.
DrBeatUk I really disagree. This is just an overall feel good song. Radio friendly or not who gives a fuck. It just makes me feel good every time I bump this...
@y0ungmug i agree with you man. This makes me feel good, and makes me think too. If people have an issue 'cause it's too radio friendly, they're just being selfish and elitist. Let the ignorant find out about and get into both these guys. Too good to keep to ourselves, they need to be shared
i love how zion i and the grouch do this with this space rap silly putty this a master peice you could show your children the album healing in the nation is an amazing album not one cuss word
You two have inspired me to keep freedom fighting to the fullest with this album!! Much love and respect!! Freedom fight to unite!! Elevate and expand!! Opening up eyes and minds one at a time!!!!
My favorite hip hop artists! Never disappoint and always have a positive message to spread, unlike the popular artist who just sing about women and money. May be cool to some but it's unoriginal and has no purpose. Grouch and Zion are true artists and create to make the world a better place! Much love!
Yeah, I think it was Hendrix who said, "Knowledge speaks, but Wisdom listens." I'm a big Grouch fan, probably my favorite less 'popular' artists, and therefore am biased. I think he demonstrates that it doesn't matter how complex syllabically you are, or how 'hard' you go; what matters, to the educated, is how much Truth you bring.
Whether cliche, unoriginal, or repetitive, he definitely brings a lot of 'wise' or 'true' things to the table.
I do agree it is a familiar topic for him. However, I appreciate him repeatedly reiterating that it's cooler to answer your call (in his case being a father/husband) than to front and be a 'baller'.
Also, if you look at the lyrics the line about being wise is him 'quoting' fans. People do consider him wise, and much of what he says, whether original or not, can be considered so.
The female vocalist is better heard than seen. Hold on, I don't mean her looks but the way she was styled. Less 80's, more pretty and soft. Should have had the Les Twins dance this one.
Great song and video! Saw them yesterday at amoeba in sf and swooped the new album. That shit is so GOOD!!! especially the track healing of the nation!!!!!
