this just shows how versatile joell is.I've been listening to him for over 6 years now havent heard bad song yet and dont see it happening anytime soon
BEING THE ONE WHO STARTED WITH JOELL AND WAS HIS HYPEMAN UNTIL HE GOT SIGNED, I CAN TELL U THAT WE BEEN GRINDIN SINCE 98' HE'S ALWAYS BEEN NICE.. EVERYONE JUST FINDING IT OUT NOW. STRICTLY LIVE / HEAVY HITTERS TOOK ME IN AND NOW I'M ON MY OWN. JOELL DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO.
Theres not a lot of rappers out there who are really creative artist. Joell is a highly creative artist. This shows in a song that could have easily just been labeled pop by a lesser artist.
You gotta love Joell, even with New York's influence on hip hop fading he's holdin' it down for the Apple. This track is dope AND beautiful, the only line I ain't liked was that God one, but otherwise I love. When I break into the rap game (and trust me I will) I want people to make legitimitate comparisons between me and him.
@problem212 I just wasn't feelin' it personally because I'm an atheist. The way I see it he should take the credit for his success after all the work he, not some Bronze Age fairytale, put into it. I'm sure he doesn't blame God for his mother being a junkie or everytime something bad happens, so he shouldn't credit him with his successes either. But that's just my feelings on that line, I'm sure a theist would disagree.
@BigJC721 i see where you're coming from, but i didn't interpret it as him attributing his success entirely to god. i understood him as saying that his success came rather from his own work inspired by god.
"but i'm only hot cause i understand i'm second to the one i'm from".
Honestly this isn't even the kickdrums beat. This is exactly the same as the song The Day I Found Myself by Honey Cone. It's maybe slowed down just a bit and then looped. I do like the pieced in movie shots though.

@2uentindward look to god my brother and that real hiphop......
drugs,life,hardknocks is easy to run by/ but when u live in weary conditions its easy to come by/ sometimes u got to look at the contrary/ some got it worse while the rich relax kick back and yawn merry/ its a very unfortunate obsession/ we obtain the aggression/ blamed the recession/ gain deadly weapons/ do drugs and never learn the lesson that we hurting people already in depression/ n act up/ my point is we fall....n get bak up
YAOWAHHHH some fresh funk. Fucking love it. Thank you joell ortiz for making good hip hop when not too many other people are. Covering the classics and road kill were both classics and didn't get the recognition they deserved. Keep doing your thing. Come to the 206 Seattle loves you
