The image of a gun being turned into a banana is a reminder to appreciate just how much goes into meeting life’s challenges . I learned a lesson along these lines when I was a young man. The best hope for conquering a reoccurring nightmare, for instance, is to imagine yourself as a superhero with the powers to tackle the situation that spooked you. This goes for anything in life. Put your head up against your problems, and don’t count yourself out.
Joel Varela for damn sure but I gotta say he just keeps getting tighter and tighter with every new album. Just steady elevating with his music and his weed. 💨😊
Jason Goldwatch always with the solid video. Much respect to Goldwatch and his visuals. God Bless and R.I.P. to Michael Lucero for championing this video style in the early '90's and JG for continuing to carry the torch.
Listen to EV you will forget listen to The Reversal by Dilated Peoples EV kills that track maybe you can relate to some lyrics too in your times of hardship trust me brotha
Check out "Deca" on bandcamp. Is always helping me through the rough times. Just stay stronger, keep shit real and prove that you can. I believe in you!
It's dedicated if the line is short, and if the line goes long that was your support. There was a few times I wanted your respect, but you tried to play me like some kind of a threat. The times I've been elusive ain't a lack of love, just an alley cat gotta lack of trust. I went from slow flow to never the same flow cause doing part 2 is not the reason I came for..
Man....this guy :) one of my faves since the late 90s. He's always consistent. You either love him or don't care for him but respect him. And the comments here....love from Greece and Germany. Love it ! East coast, westcoast....eastern or western hemisphere....its all love.
Poland and Romania is also in the house.....im sorry. I wrote that before I read all the comments. And any comparison to evidence and Eminem is ridiculous. Haha. Eminem is no contest in my opinion but....they both have their styles. We here just like evidences more
Every hip-hopper here in Greece knows that Evidence will forever be one of the greatest to touch the mic! I really hope this lad gets the recognition he deserves. Always fresh with pure rap music, if someone asked me to show him what rap is all about through 10 songs, one of EV's would surely make my list!
yeap @Ben Becic www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/evidence/jimdean.html Eyes become red when you're in the water, and the roster are the competitors. (so that line makes a whole lot of sence) Rastas always have red eyes, regardles of the water. (line makes no sence) Don't you ever doubt me Ben. Peace!
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
More then just music you use you’re words to explain how to overcome fear darkness you give people an the Awsners they have been looking for. Simple as this You’re not artist. You’re a creativity legend. A teacher. An idol to many. 👌👌
Man this is dope, the T-Shirt concept, the production, Ev's laid-back flow...it really does feel like Hip Hop will make it out of this cancerous Mumble/Trap fog just fine and get back to it's roots. Remember that Ev has been in the game since 94/95.
TREMENDOUS! I missed it and I'm ashamed. Can I really call myself a true Gang starr fan if I forgot that line? I'm gonna give myself a pass on that one..I just won't let it happen again 😂
big up from Poland! i was on concert in Katowice last year, it was amazing. also as concert of Dilated Peoples on Woodstock 2016, w8' for EV concert in Wrocław in 2018!

This is a very insightful analysis. I was wondering what the symbolism for that image was. Thank you.
"I make a promise, I'ma keep it, never take my kindness for a weakness." Words to live by. Thanks EV 🔥
OHDΔGEE damn that shit is relatable af.
that's from an old dilated peoples song too
Karlhto few will catch the reference!
straight up
Those that don't get the reference should "Search for Bobby Fischer" 😉
light bulbs & bright ideas can turn cloudy!
Evidence is always consistent with his music. Anytime he drops anything, you know you’re about to get something, solid-af.
Joel Varela couldn't agree more. Everything comes togeather and flows so well on each track.
Fucking oath brother!
Joel Varela for damn sure but I gotta say he just keeps getting tighter and tighter with every new album. Just steady elevating with his music and his weed. 💨😊
Word to birds. 😉🙏💯💥☮️
Nottz killed it on the beat!!

MAGNIFIQUE !!

EV has been rising from the underground like sewer smoke like Royce for longer than a minute.
Salute from Mozambique and this what make me hip hop addict!
Who needs proof that true hiphop ain't dead when we have Evidence.
Every hip-hopper here in Greece knows that Evidence will forever be one of the greatest to touch the mic! I really hope this lad gets the recognition he deserves. Always fresh with pure rap music, if someone asked me to show him what rap is all about through 10 songs, one of EV's would surely make my list!
Nottz, one of the most underrated producers.
Its not a crime if you don't get caught! 🔥
This Nottz beat is a masterclass in simplicity. The bassline is a BANGER!
Keep sharing your beautiful light. Thank you for shining it at me. It was very powerful
I love this music video and the throw it all away video. Evidence is a true artist
His "You" video is sick too

Evidence...... we feel you from C.A. to V.A. Nothing but love and respect my brother. Peace
Incredible masterpiece all around by Ev and Goldwatch. Also would love that shirt with the $2 bill on it.
Christopher Horrell gotta get me that good book shirt haha
Limited run while supplies last! bit.ly/JimDeanTees
Damm....so glad a lot of underground artists are dropping albums or singles. Not a radio fan.
Respect from Los Angeles
Cruising through el barrio in Argentina repping this track
Every time this video ends, my ears are ringing..
"I make a Promise Ima keep it Dont take my kindness for a Weakness"👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was surprised to hear this on the on of my local radio stations. Thought this was an old tune from the 90s.
More then just music you use you’re words to explain how to overcome fear darkness you give people an the Awsners they have been looking for.
Simple as this
You’re not artist.
You’re a creativity legend. A teacher. An idol to many.
👌👌
Definition of underrated
his video concepts are amazing
Man this is dope, the T-Shirt concept, the production, Ev's laid-back flow...it really does feel like Hip Hop will make it out of this cancerous Mumble/Trap fog just fine and get back to it's roots. Remember that Ev has been in the game since 94/95.
Oh,this is Rare&Real !!
Starting off 2018 with an Evidence album? Can't wait!
Gangstas got this thing about flowers. Rappers got this thing about power bitter and sour, gossip at the top of every hour.
2021 Listening directly from Brazil🔥🔥🔥

thank you for your attention!
Thanks, I didn't know that. And love it, I really got to hip hop thanks to Gangstarr.

TREMENDOUS! I missed it and I'm ashamed. Can I really call myself a true Gang starr fan if I forgot that line? I'm gonna give myself a pass on that one..I just won't let it happen again 😂

Damn Evidence can’t be stopped. 🔥🔥🔥
Respect to Evidence all the way from Ethiopia 🇪🇹.
SO DOPE!!! EVIDENCE IS IN MY TOP 5 FOR BEST MC'S!!
Simply AMAZING!!!!
" EV..COLUI CHE NON TRADISCE MAI LE ASPETTATIVE"
Cit. Truestory!!!
I went from slowflow to never the same flow
Cause doing part 2 is not the reason I came for!
This is soooo fakin good !
" coming to do part two's ain't the reason i came fo' " 🔥
This song was so dope!
Real real real hip hop 😍
Why am I four years late to this song? It's been on repeat all day. Classic.
"Walking in the rain off the Jim Beam
Dreams broken on the boulevard, Jim Dean"
👆👌 MARVELOUS
When the gun is pointed at his head, his shirt changes from "The Good Book", to a blank black sweatshirt on the picture.
Love Ev and the video
hell yeah i could listen to this shit all day
Great Song! your show in Münster GER this year was awesome !!
Peace
The Herba Team
We need more music like this!!! Keep it coming
We need more Nottz.
bom video, bom som. Banda sonora do meu dia a dia
it' s amazing how he delivers this so laid back smooth silently and chill... but it's still BRRAP in ya face.
Evidence x Nottz x DJ Babu ... YOU know it's gonna be a heater!
Tone Spliff hell ya. That bass line is so raw
nice, he had some bangas on rare poise too
I speak for the entire eastern Africa. Evidence!= RESPECT.!!!!
"Big dreams even if they doubt em"
Walking in the rain off the Jim Beam
Dreams broken on the boulevard, Jim Dean
Get a grip for bars like a gym beam
Eyes redder than the rastas on the swim team
so awesome and LOL
Here to save the day and steal the game
It ain't a crime if you dont get caught
I know names who moving the same
Just staying out tha way
We get away with a lot
My quiet thoughts at night you turn rowdy
Light bulbs and bright ideas can turn cloudy
Big dreams even if they doubt them
I never was so sure if I wasn't sure about them
This is not your thing, this is ours
Gangsters got this thing about flowers
Rappers got this thing about power
Bitter and sour, gossip at the top of every hour
Walking in the rain, off the Jim Beam
Dreams broken on the boulevard, Jim Dean
Get a grip for bars like a gym beam
Eyes redder than the rosters on the swim team
I ain't thinking about BET
I'm talking about debt, d to add the EBT
91, Dub C, don’t work, you don’t eat
Crossed streets where reality and hard times meet
Back in my youth I was a wildcat
Put my tires in reverse and get some miles back
It's been a minute since a while back
Round of applause, blow the horns like Miles back
Its God's work, that is not in my hands
But I'm holding on tight for a few of my fans
It's dedicated if the line is short
And if the line goes long that was your support
It was a few times I wanted your respect
But you try to play me like some kind of a threat
The time to been elusive ain't a lack of love
Just an alley cat, got a lack of trust
I went for slow flow but never the same flow
Cause doing part two's is not the reason I came for
Until then I at the end of the rainbow
But still the pot of gold about as real as the game shows
Here to save the day and steal the game
It ain't a crime if you don't get caught
I know names who moving the same
Just staying out the way we get away with a lie
Trooper, just below forty with the wind chill
All my shorties getting spin like windmills
Weather man, I’ve been hailed the sky curse
Fire verses I write for what the prize worth
Partner, one and I gots to
Never went back down
Never played the background
Anxious more than patient, I attack now
I'mma get my way as one as I acted out
Never waiting on the industry
Waiting on the tables until the tables turning into me
Go back, hands on the clock, you call it throwback
But only no dope and judge not if I know that
Need is need, that ain't weak shit
But greed is greed that's some weak shit
I make a promise Ima keep it
Never take my kindness for a weakness
True Scroll writer's!!! Salute my Soul Brotha!!!
keeping that sound king.
Greetings from Buenos Aires
