sacramento and the bay aren't just connected by the delta--the message is the same. keep it rolling downhill and let the momentum bring it back again.
For everyone wondering where the beat comes from... They sampled "Car Seat (God's Presents)" by Blind Melon. The baseline is based on the piano in "Car Seats," and the strings during chorus and at the end of the song are based on the cello in "Car Seats." Both are great songs.
I'm not from The Bay Area, San Diego actually, but these guy's could be from anywhere in the world and it wouldn't matter to me. . . Cause their style is DOPE!!! I love this song and all their stuff!!! BIG UPS d;-)
@LostJimmy209 are you fucking serious? did you even watch the video or are you just looking to argue with people? clearly you have trouble differentiating a 1 from and I, so just to let you know, the very beginning of the video it says zion 1(ONE). quit being stupid
Does anyone know where to find the Zion-I bay remix that had E-40 in it I think? Not the Club Remix (thats crap) there's a super dope remix track but I havent been able to find it in years they had it on myspace like 3 or 4 years ago
Juanros71... Almost the whole gangs in LA are like familyes, cause the parents abandon their kids, and there only way to survive is to be a gangbanger, no need to add more, thats the truth
@760BOBMARLEY I don't condone L.A. arrogance because frankly we as Angelenos should be a little more humble while our metropolis is a homing beacon to the world's enertainment. But I also cannot stand ignorant L.A. haters -especially from the bay simply because it's the thing to do. Bay area heads watch as much of hollywood on TV and in movies and know a lot more about Hollywood than they presume to hate. L.A. is showtime and the Bay is the resting place for the next. it's a balance! Love.
man, no disrespect, coming from oregon. but man, 10 years ago, there wouldn't be a subtle person in the video. not that that has anything to do with my opinion of the video, i'm just saying. i know there are some old heads thinking the same thing somewhere out there.
why are people hatin on zion. zion is probably one of the only real rappers left. so everyone can just shut the fuck up. this is actual rap. not that faggot shit that pricks like lil wayne and gucci mane make now a days.
I'm glad that you are all able to quantize the quality of this song/video by how "hard" they look or whether or not they're killers. I hope for your own sakes that you can find other more imprtant qualities to appreciate before your time here is done.
@philipbuchanan way to diss a real hip hop track let alone Hieroglyphics and Zion, safe to say whos actually the fag... go suck a dick about it if you dont like it...
oh, are all hip-hop videos supposed to be about thugs and gangsters, wearing anything gold, getting their teeth grilled, showing off the cash they have, hideous cars, and skanky girls shaking their asses?
zion I isn't rapping about being "hard", so why do they need to make a video that shows them being "hard"?
you're probably just another fool brainwashed by that piece of shit they call pop culture.
