He has ooold hip hop roots! Even better, it's alll about the love, not focused on the Cheddar! He's a genius breakin us off diamonds if ya listen. Can't keep complaining really, ya don't know what your misssing. YET! Can't push newborns to walk. So if ya act like you're in diapers, at least curb your hateful talk! Figure it out, without insulting your brothers n sisters, Misses n Misters. This Man must get blisters in his throat screaming a lot of truth for you Just to hear a few whispers!
I love how Shad is hip hop... with a mix of what sounds like Rock, very instrumentally complex and awesome beats with actual instruments in them. I think it's crazy how he doesn't have to swear to rap, makes him sound distinguished. Real crazy stuff
Shad's lyrics are so brilliant so deep it blows my mind! Finally we see real Canadian hip hop geniuses rising to the top, i mean Shad, K'naan, K-OS. Makes me proud to be Canadian. Reppin' the T.dot =)
shad is a beast and to me, he is the best poet of the 21st century...too often, raps name gets abused with music that aint poetic, neither its rythmic...im glad shad is educating ppl what real rap is supposed to sound like...
good to c there is some songs left on the air that isn't just about Drugs, Money, Girls, And trying to act tough. As they all say hip-hop lives in the north
Shad you have the sickest flow--way to go! I'm digging the honesty of your lyrics, but especially the creativity and internal rhyme schemes. Your DJ is also so sick he's probably halfway to the afterlife already. Wow. Shad U R fly like the Most High. Keep reppin' and keep your voice like an angel.
the one thing you can't deny, every musician has haters, but for real...ya just can't hate on this man...i mean if you don't like this type of music i understand but there is absolutely no denying his true talent, something i think alot of musicians lack these days
"We are Greater than the Sum of us" "then at the end of the word Friend, is where I end" "And we aren't what we eat, We are what comes out of our mouths when we speak"
Fuck yes! I knew this was gonna be a single. I used to be ridiculously offended that Shad wasn't worshiped by, well, everybody. But now I almost don't want him to get assimilated into the mainstream garbage. Keep real music for the soul separate from music for the masses. Oh and the video is sick too; it almost matches Shad's level of beastlyness! Shad, you're the leader of the new-school, keep bringing it hard!!
no ,cause thats not what Shad's about or what all hiphop is about like you seem to think. This is just a caliber of music that is expected off the radio
I loved it bro. Soon as I really start making some cash and my business takes off. Ill see your show at the webster hall. God bless. Hope to meet you ill listen to more of your stuff.

"We are not what we eat, but what comes out of our mouths when we speak."
I don’t understand how Shad isn’t more popular! Listening 10 years and I’m still like YES ;)
This is one of those songs, that once you hear live, a recording will just never sound as good to you
Best rap song playin, All the glory goes around and comes back to Christ again my friend in Jesus.
Shad is hella slept on.
I love the amount of references he makes to his faith in his songs.
Pure artistry. Both the music and the video.
This is what hip hop used to be, and should be today. Stay true to yourself Shad.
Praise God
Present your gifts as an offering to the MOST HIGH
We all beat as one heart beat for Jesus... ILL FLOW bro
some of the greatest lyrics I've read ever.... period.
This is pure heart and soul spilled out in a form of poetry that almost anybody can nod their head to... My palms are in the air in agreement!

Shad deserves waaay more credit for how talented he is, but he keeps it real giving us quality music. I hope Shad doesn't become a sell out
I love how Shad is hip hop... with a mix of what sounds like Rock, very instrumentally complex and awesome beats with actual instruments in them. I think it's crazy how he doesn't have to swear to rap, makes him sound distinguished. Real crazy stuff

Shad is the most inspiration MC I've heard in a long, long time.

I really think thing song is almost genius. Fucking amazing, best that I've heard.

Shad you have the sickest flow--way to go! I'm digging the honesty of your lyrics, but especially the creativity and internal rhyme schemes. Your DJ is also so sick he's probably halfway to the afterlife already. Wow. Shad U R fly like the Most High. Keep reppin' and keep your voice like an angel.
Watching this as soon as you wake up is mad trippy
Shad for Prime Minister!
YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Shadrach, you are the man.
Just found this artist today. Fantastic. absolute genius
Holy Fucking Hip Hop Batman! This is AWESOME!!!!! And much NEEDED.
the one thing you can't deny, every musician has haters, but for real...ya just can't hate on this man...i mean if you don't like this type of music i understand but there is absolutely no denying his true talent, something i think alot of musicians lack these days
Real talk: this song brought a tear to my eye. It's nice to see that some people involved in this art form remember that it, in fact, is art.
Shad speaks truth !
"We are Greater than the Sum of us"
"then at the end of the word Friend, is where I end"
"And we aren't what we eat, We are what comes out of our mouths when we speak"
There's something intriguingly special about this video
WOOOOTTTTT!
One of the best videos I've seen in a loooooong time!
What rap is meant to be.....ART!
This is iiiiillllllll
SHAD! Hip Hop lives in the North
This is Real Hip-Hop
Shad for world leader!!
What an outstanding human being.
I immediately turned the volume up...
So happy I found this, great tune
Yo, don't see it mentioned anywhere but this song samples "The Four Horseman" by Aphrodite's Child, a nutter of a tune to use
So glad i stumbled upon this video, Shad is awesome!
Frggin amazing. He better win Polaris this Monday.
I be tryin to tell people....Lupe and Shad!!
damn!! I hope he comes to London, Ontario soon, if he does i'm getting his autograph tattooed on me. That's how much I like his music!
Fuck yes! I knew this was gonna be a single. I used to be ridiculously offended that Shad wasn't worshiped by, well, everybody. But now I almost don't want him to get assimilated into the mainstream garbage. Keep real music for the soul separate from music for the masses.
Oh and the video is sick too; it almost matches Shad's level of beastlyness! Shad, you're the leader of the new-school, keep bringing it hard!!
i love it when you go to a video and the top comments are actually awesome!
Great video for a amazin track off a even greater album!
He was my friends small group leader at church. Sooo sick
Another video directed by Chris Mills - the man is a genius!!!!
no ,cause thats not what Shad's about or what all hiphop is about like you seem to think. This is just a caliber of music that is expected off the radio
ima buy his album 2 support this dude...he's really good! People who like him should do the same
wow, is this ACTUAL hip hop that I am listening to?
