[Silitama]

this is one of my alltime favorite songs right here, she is under rated as an artist, she deserves to be in the top 5 at least, and man artist that are out now aint shit, I dont even lisen to the radio anymore,they call the shit they have now music, i miss how when albums used to come out all the songs on the album were hits, now its just one or two songs that are good on a album its not even worth buying albums anymore, hella sorry...

[deacon302000]

This is messed up Drake's videos has more views...This is crazy!!!This is a beautiful song.

[tiffann48]

Wow, this song came on Pandora right when I needed it. It's beyond beautiful.

[musics56]

goapele is a great under rated singer who is natural and does not have to talk about sex and getting naked to be a great person she is. god bless this queen whose music can kill today's music.

[pinoixboi]

my sister used this song for her wedding when she walked down the isle =]

[KingMerc864]

Not disrespect to Drake but he had the weakest rendition to this song, I'll give him props for putting this song in Hip Hop aspects, cover it led me to do my own cover of this song. But if you haven't heard the late rapper Dolla's version of this song you haven't heard anything.

[Itachikidd]

@KingMerc864 LOl No he didnt your a fool. i could relate to drakes shit more this then this one, its all about what you experience. drakes and this is both good i perfer drakes

[misspetums87]

I love this song it always calms if I'm having a bad day and I go to sleep to this song sometimes

[westcoastfemale1]

THIS IS THE CUT!!!!!!

[yaomon18]

thumbs up if drakes version is hella tight

i aint sayin this is bad, but drake put more into it and imo its hella good, especially appealin more to the hip hop audience

n yall gotta agree, the beat is perfect for hip hop

[lilkunta]

@yaomon18 i think you mean it is more appealing to the RAP audience. drake's isnt hiphop. He just calls himself that bc rap has a negative connotation.
