RUclips is bringing us back together randomly once again. And this isn’t a coincidence. It’s to honour Kobe. And all the people that crashed on that plane. God bless they’re families 🙏🏽💛
Kyle J bruh I’m black but you outta pocket and how you gone tell her if she was bandwagon or not, and she don’t even look white she look like she’s Hispanic or of some European descent
Kobe did well on this.. I'm not just saying that because of his passing - hell to be honest this my first time hearing the song. Compared to many mumble rappers now days this wasn't bad at all. RIP legend
Dude, rap is no longer. People should stop even referring to these cats as rappers etc. Kobe can rap, these clowns today don’t even rap so of course isn’t bad because their is no comparison.
Brian McKnight is known for being a amazing singer like I never heard nobody sing like him. Kobe Bryant was lucky to be in a song with him. Brian actually carried this song
Allen Iverson aka Jewelz (48 bars) Shaq, Chris Webber, And there’s hella songs with Lebron but the NDAs are keeping them from seeing the light of day. Lol
@Aaron Roberts she was confused on why a Kobe song had been recommended....well that week he passed away due to a crash. What about the others? The others werent as notorious as Kobe him self was. I dont know???
Tyrese I know you don’t understand SHIT they be saying when you hear they damn music so stop playing like they speaking clear English in they song bc I GUARANTEE YOU ya can’t I heard EVERY single LITTLE word UTTERED from Kobe’s mouth and Understood his whooole verse and actually felt what he was saying , My soul can’t even nod its head to their music because it’s not meant to reach your soul and they not rapping from the “Heart” just from the Drugs “Drugs are Bad Mmkay” 😂😂
This just popped up in my suggestions never knew he could rap that explains his poetic words about how he fell in love with basketball Rip legend and to your daughter and the other passengers
Evermore reason to enjoy every bit of that shit as much as you can!! I'm working on trying to do that every damn day! It sucks when you know deep down you're wasting your life away. Like me, in my dead ass job just because it pays good! Things looking up on the horizon though! Hopefully new job at the end of this week and new opportunities!! Gotta keep moving man! What does hurt me is seeing my kids not be little innocent babies anymore but again! All a learning curve baby!
Rest In Peace Kobe Bean Bryant. You Were More Than Just A Basketballer, You Were Apart Of Basketball As A Whole. Gone But Never Forgotten. May The Mamba Mentality Live On 🏀🐍🍻

Nah I actually thought he was moving like hov
2:39 Kobe’s part is 🔥 tho He really could do it all
R.i.p to kobe but no lie he killed his part.
Yes, I think that's why people seemed to so dislike him. He was such a versatile man, angers people who have so little in life ...
I actually really liked that part . I wish he could come back
Like speak?
He could do everything better than most. No other person can describe a legend like him
