  • off train of thought. these two need to make another album together
    produced by hi-tek
    --------------------------------------------
    [talking]
    Yo yo, you know what we need to do, man, we need to get a whole CD. You know what I'm sayin'? Get a collection of all the music and everything we've ever done man.
    [woman singing]
    Bringing back sweet memories (3x)
    Life, living in Flatbush and going to house parties
    Red lights, bumping, life is what you make it, then sorry
    In my lifetime, ain't too many things better
    than watching your first son put his sentences together
    Yo, it kinda make me think of way back when
    I was the portrait of the artist as a young man
    All them teenage dreams of rapping
    Writing rhymes on napkins
    Was really visualization
    Making this here actually happen
    It's like something comin through me
    That truly just consume me
    Speaking through the voices of the spirits speaking to me
    I think back in the day, I absorbed everything like a sponge
    Took a plunge into my past to share with my son
    Bringing back sweet memories (3x)
    Like thoughts out the back of your mind
    Going back in some time
    Like when you used to cut and had to go to the back of the line
    Look back and you find
    Tracks that make you relax and recline
    Now cats rap about packing a nine
    When they lacking divine
    Inspiration
    Running out of topics in conversation
    While I drop it in the pocket cause rock is my occupation
    I do it remarkably, spark up a leaf
    And possibly
    You could follow me
    Tap into your chi
    Utilize your spiritual faculty accurately
    Use your memory to help you see clearly, then get back to me
    Actually, nothing's new under the sun
    So when life be stressing me
    My remedy is 'bringing back sweet memories'
    Like the faces that are woven in the fabric of my consciousness
    From cities where making 21's a big accomplishment
    Like when my people understood their prominence
    And my past life visions of the continent
    Like the first time I saw KRS live, rockin' it
    Or heard Resurrection by Common Sense
    Dominant in my psyche
    I chose my direction like Spike Lee
    To speak my life through mics, and I never take it lightly
    It might be something you did to bring you down when you were high
    Yo that karma's a bitch, you steady asking God why
    Like when my parents first split up
    Yo, I was illin'
    Seems like some years they was together for the sake of the children
    And I love them for that
    I don't know if they saw that
    So I'ma say it, and convey it when the world play it (3x)
    Bringing back sweet memories (3x)
    Like black is beautiful, names from the seventies
    Let me tap into your energy
    Fields of dreams become my property
    When I reach my destiny like a prophecy
    Especially when I 'm 'bringing back sweet memories'
    I dive deep into my mind, see I got a treasury
    That float through my head like a sweet melody
    What you telling me?
    Reflection is a collection of memories
    Definitely, this is how hiphop is meant to be
    Eventually, I knew I'd run into Hi-Teknology
    It was only a matter of time like centuries
    Check the recipe or technique to how it sound so sweet
    I freak with word power, my man speak with beats
    If I could make it in New York, I figured anywhere I'd make it
    Came to Cincinnati linked with Mood, and we did Sacred
    Hi-Tek beats became my favorite
    Hussle on the Side was the cut
    We started puttin songs together like 'What!'
    Travelled the world, came back to the crib
    And hit the motherland yet
    This year we put in work and got some other plans
    Bet, that's where I'll take the fam
    when the Reflection joint is done
    By the time you hear this, I'll be basking in African sun
    Like Wow!
    We made it
    We here

    These new age producers can't make beats like these. This beat in particular transcends the listener to another level. The super low bass line. Mellow jazzy feel. Super tangible beat. Classic!

      I appreciate HI Teks beats and I also appreciate some of the current producers. I refuse to turn into get off my lawn guy. There are many dope producers today. If this is your vibe you shouldn’t have a problem listening to Hit boy’s productions.

      Back then they used analog gear to make songs, these days not many hip hop producers do unfortunately so you can't get that same warmth in tracks. Wish they had the same mentality that a lot of the new electronica producers do knowing that this stuff can make your tracks sound like quality

    Some say it’s a zone but it feels like a trance,
    How can you feel alone when there are millions of stars casting you a glance,
    They say it's never true romance if it's based around finance,
    Remember when hip hop was boom boxes and a break dance,
    Pull a hoody on and pop my headphones in,
    This music is so internal, I feel it resonate under my skin,

  • @overcastfab

    both albums are solid all around, but i gotta go with train of thought. something about it as a whole, you know?
    the beats are so organic. i can lay in my bed at night, pop the cd in my cd player and let the whole album play with my eyes closed in the dark, and it'll put me in another place.

    Look...
    born 1988..
    i raised my self on..KRS-ONe and Run-DMC,
    Common, Rakeim, Talib Kweli,
    A tribe Called Quest, Erykaih Badu, and The Fugees,
    Th greatest part about this beat,
    it dosent discrimante,
    it welcomes anyone, Real Emcees's
    Fake Huslter Rappers, the only real music Peace,
    I can say im blessing this beat but in reallty the beat is blessing me,
    I've thaught over and over again that it is ova,
    not bad for a 21 yr old with no Diploma
    ONE..

    " I was puffing L's on the tracks of the train,
    On my way to school freshman year, all in the rain. Never showin my fear,
    Letting Mary cauterize and burn inside my lungs
    And then releasing the pain.
    And then I started sipping in a toxic refrain.
    You couldn't down a fifth of all the shit in my brain.
    Traumatic memories and expression from younger age,
    The reason that you'll find my mind perpetually dazed and eyes glazed.
    I hear my momma listening to Stevie.
    Wonder where we end up at end of the month but
    I know I'll always have some music and a high to find.
    Shit, when I think about it, man I'll be fine.
    We just gotta remember what we been through. Everything we buried in our mental.
    The hurt I know can seem so detrimental.
    But pain is really de la soul,
    it can be helpful. "

    This is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time.
    It's hard to evaluate which album is better: Train of Thought, or Blackstar (as the two are often compared). Personally, this song helps sets TOT over the top.

    Is it a Buddhist enlightenment or America's will to win?
    Nah not in this genesis, but its something better
    between me and her, is more than glamor and glitz
    fame and riches, transcending the cheddar
    So irrational at times but the beauty that it provides gives somewhat of a comfort to mind.
    The sparkled look in her eyes, when she's happy. i'm happy
    when shes sad, I cry on the inside, appearing sad but sappy

    this world, was a whurl
    when i started, now i remeber
    the good dayz, 97, mind on Heaven
    punk shorty from New York
    who the hell are you to talk
    steady rideenn, Long Island
    Lies your tellin me, on the LIE
    headen home, all live
    when i arive, slide in
    pardon, my lateness
    not rude, im brewed, the news is
    its all cool, i gotta keep it real
    i act ah fool.
