i liked him better when he was more technical. latyrx...now that's a song. now that he's slowed down his rhymes and put in the melodies, as far as i'm concerned he's not a rapper any more. he's a singer. which is fine, i guess, but it's just not my thing.
This situation's gotten out of control....like the mainstream hip hop community spittin' all that commercial bullshit!!! Let LB host the hiphop music awards!!!! The white man thought he killed hiphop,but it is alive and well.
Down with the stereotypes of black men as violent gangsters as made popular by MTV and BET. Up with intelligent lyrics that remind human beings of any color that we're all in this together, and we all struggle.
@ooSKOLEoo That was the point. And I'm aware that he's Asian, but it's nice to know he's Japanese. Wasn't sure exactly if he was Chinese or Korean or what. Lyrics Born is part of this anti BET and MTV movement. That's what I was referring to.
@billybobbeen1234 maybe not so insane flow-wise in this song but in his more hip-hoppy joints his flows are sick. Gift of Gab may be the king of flow in my book but I recall many tracks where Born matched him.
I definitely would beg to differ with your statement that Lyrics Born "raps on the rest of his album". Lyrics Born sings like this on a LOT of his songs. He employs a similar singing style on songs like "Callin' Out", "I Changed My Mind", "Lady Don't Tek No", and MANY more. Not trying to start an argument or anything, just imploring you to give him another chance; even if you don't like his more traditional hip-hop tracks, he's got quite a few more songs like this.
I can hella relate to this songs meaning. Lyrics is now my numba 2 fav rapper. Came close to him an MF DOOM. heh heh DOOM is numba 1. They should collab. Ya kno?
Haha the funny the thing i was talking about music in class . And i told my teacher my fav is MF DOOM, and he recomended me lookin at this guy. I like all shit iv herd so far.
WOAH! i didn't know there was a music video for this! My recent problems with insomnia caused me to think of the song then i looked it up on youtube and found this.
Don't worry about it, keep buying your music online. Let the big stores and big record executives know that WE the people(the fans) determine who the music stars are and WE determine the music trends. That gos for radio and MTV too.
yo i saw this cat open for a fat Reggae festival in SF Cali man hes mosdef the bes the little lady he had wit him made the whole show her voice was plush his lyrics are top class yo we need more hits on sites like dis one one blood oneheartbeat onelove JAH live inour heart and conscious
Just saw this guy open for Cypress Hill, though I was mainly looking at the sheila on stage. Let me just say it was an AWESOME performance. If you get a chance, make sure you see this act live.
The lucid, liquid, loquacious and longevous lyricism of this cat is the poetry of every human's journey through the darkness and through the depths into the clear sky that is intellectuality! Fills the soul until the end of time, as a beat that we live by and march on to even when we may lose our own lives!
I don't care if you think it's "gay" because there's nothing bad about that word. I do get tired of people coming on youtube to say everything sucks. What's the point? Oh well, it's your life to waste.
The only guys who are threatened by gay people are insecure guys who wonder if they might turn gay themselves if they said it was ok. By the way, the first meaning of the word gay was happy. So you would be happy if you just admitted your gayness! Come on outta the closet friend.
You're far more disgusting then they will ever be dipshit. I'd gladly leave you be, all you gotta do is shut up and live quietly with your hate-filled, egotistical baggage.
I heard this song on Triple J radio as I was driving to work on this beautiful blue sky day. It took me awhile to track it down...but when I really want something...I get it!! The video ain't that amazing...but the song IS...and... that's what counts. Love it!

I cut for this song but the vocals don't match homeboy's appearance. Not only that, he's a hip hop artist and raps the rest his album.
When I first heard this song on NBA 2K5 I thought it was a mixture of rock vocals and a nice beat but it turned out all wrong.
I realize he has a devoted fan base and he's worked hard to get to where he is today but with the exception of this one song, IMO dude is whack...
