pharoahe is the truth. as a black man in america i understand everything that line means. The next line is powerful too because shows how he progressed positively against the odds.
"...but i rose to the top of my class like Kareem, & like the Lakers in the 80's so Worthy im Ka-reem, not MTV, but my sweet sixteen, married the mic, a love supreme"
I stumbled upon this song after reading a news article on the artist and his struggle with Asthma. I was surprised to see my childhood playground (Sunset Park) in the video. Nice!
Maybe there wasn't going to be a video, but I was in Brooklyn on Monday on the set with my daughter and several other kids, filmings portions of the video. Be on the look out.
Man im so blown away by the lyricism some people have...this guy is one of the best out there,take it from an aspiring lyricist who has an unbiased opinion to what good music is,this man,is the TRUTH.
I can't understand how people can listen to this beautiful song and worry about everyone else listening to it? Alot of yall are missing the point. Enjoy the knowledge dropped on this song and stop worrying about everyone else dammit!!!!!
stop fuccc'n sleep'n on my boy!!!!!! creative juice's iz flow'n constantly with my nicca,from simon say's 2 war!!!! watup b.e.t, watup m.t.v, soultrain awards,scource awards, an any other awards....????
I am fuckin mad I havent heard of this shit yet. But at least tonight I just happened to have a penchant to want to hear Monch spit and came across this. From this one song alone their isnt ONE album this year that can compare to this one song. I really mean that.
Pharoahe should have way more views. Everyone says that about the artists they like, but in this case it's just ridiculous. Amazing flow, lyrics and beats. Arguably best hip-hop album of the year. Personal fave of all time.
this has got to be one of the most inspirational songs i have ever heard. pharoahe is more than a rapper, he is an artist that makes real emotional music and this song proves that. pharoahe knows what real hip hop and rap is. maybe one day, the rest of those wannabes out there will too
this beat & lyrics are equally emotional and magical. this is such a beautiful and powerful song. powerful enough to bring a tear to the strongest man's eyes.
I went from "Clap" to "Let my people go" to this, and this, I can honestly say just these three tracks alone makes this the best rap album so far this year.
Shout out to Pharoahe Monch for still spitting at them Holy FUCK! levels, God Bless you sir
Sooooooooooo DoPe... Love Everythng On Here!
