@@maryannappiagyei4277 Kanye West and Common are South Chicago artists.I like both of them and they are the most important Chicago rappers.I just hear one part of Chicago which gotten most of the media attention I want to hear the other parts of the city.
I take too much of this world for granted, I’m hurt and I’m losing my way. But I’m ready to hear something to change my perspective. The wait was worth it, Thank you.
@@ethansmith3213 bro I feel the same. It’s so hard to live in the moment but I’m trying! We take small moments for granite and cling onto them forever once they’ve passed and are no longer tangible. We worry so much about what will happen in a year we forget to live for today.
One of the best introspective healing albums I've ever listened to...so it's like it gets better than care for me every single time I listen...that intro is so fucking good that I cried multiple times cuz my grandma died a few years ago and when he said " its been a while since the last time we saw you"...any way i thank you saba for his masta piece
No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it. Then I heard a piece of the Bone record and thought it sounded great. I'm glad I waited till the album dropped to hear it. I'm not sure if Saba is in a better space than he was in during care for me but it does sound like it on this record, even with the deep subject matter. This is definitely an album we will be talking about for a while now, and I hope it brings even more fans your way cause it's incredible. Sorry for ever doubting it.
I am touched. Learn to make peace with your past and your heritage! Learn to appreciate the little everyday good things in the present, however few they may be! Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.
I love everything about this record, not just the music but the ideas a d visuals behind it. You are an artist, got into Saba a bit late but I am happy I was here for the release of this one
15:26 Sankofa means to “retrieve”; literally “go back and get”; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” or “Sankofa w’onkyir” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”
Critical response to Saba just confounds me. I keep hearing how his sound “lulls” and his style “hasn’t outgrown his influences yet” and all I hear is sonic genius that takes me so many places. Maybe it’s my personal connection to music being so intense. Maybe I just let myself rejoice in each artist individually. But Saba’s work matters so much to me. I’m a Tulsan, and we’re kinda of an unspoken cousin of Chicago (many Black Tulsans fled to Chicago after the 1921 Race Massacre). I remember visiting Chicago for the first time in like 2004 and thinking, “This is like home. I know these people. I know their facial expressions.” Maybe that’s it. I don’t know. I’m just thankful that I get to hear it, and that he gets to do his work. 🙏🏽
I remember a time where i had so little yet had everything i ever needed, but as ive grown a little older i feel as though ive got nothing anymore. This has really helped me. Thank you Saba for everything. I hope there comes a day where everybody has peace within themselves.
Thank you Saba. What for? For trusting your gut and pursuing your calling. For having the confidence to release your music knowing not everyone is gonna love it. Most of all, for telling not just your story, but everyone’s story. Thank you.
Thank you Saba for your presentations of blackness in all of its beauty. You are both an artist and the art! Keep shining and putting the West Side back on the map!!! All my love
definitely gonna be on my list for the album of the year. will come back and listen to this a lot, i‘m 100% sure about that. great work, thank you Saba
This album is a classic! Saba has grown so much as an artist and is one of the newer generation that is keeping hip hop intact. Can't wait to see him perform this live 🙏🏾
@@gotworc lol, get off my comment. I have the right to call the album whatever I want to call it. Compared to albums that are deemed classics this album is up there. Stop worrying about other people's opinions 😂 and do you.
this was an expierence. so beautiful what you guys created. timeless; the shots, the music, the direction, the storytelling, the actors. so amazing. you should all be super proud of this work of art. thank you for making it come to life.
this is amazing...the vision behind the album and film is so beautiful. Saba was goated for me after CFM but this project might top it. To the whole Pivot gang, thank you.
The energy that this album gave me on first listen was different, and then upon a number of listens I felt what it was really propagating - contentment. Saba expressed this in the best way he could, and it's felt in every song. Now when I hear the intro and 2012 I'm moved into a different space and feel. To be and feel genuine in your messages from this album shows it takes time, and Saba does show us this very well with his raps on here. Few Good Things is for Saba, for the people, for the world. Ready to count your blessings? Cop this album. Also caught the Twi saying "Sankofa w'onkyie" in there. Wow!
Very Profound take on life in Chicago...True art provokes thought and emotion...these visuals do just that....Ironically this album came out on my Grandma's funeral. Sounds morbid but it was actually comforting to listen to that day. Thank you for always having music that comforts
This was so Amazing and so pit together. I felt your journey Saba. Please keep Giving us good Amazing artwork. You'll always will be legendary! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ #PivotGang
When Saba said “I put my heart & my all in my art, I’m alternate” he meant that & it truly shows. This album & especially this visual makes me want to go look at old photo albums. I had a great convo with my “aunty cousins” yesterday & I feel like this made me appreciate it more & keep it going.
This album hit me hard! In the best way possible. I lost my grandparents within the last 6 years and the family was never the same… this was truly beautiful
I found out about Saba through the Tiny Desk concert, so, I bumped 'Care for Me' and loved it. All this while, I had thought it was Saba's debut. Then, after listening to 'Few Good Times' and loving it so much, I got curious and delved deeper - only to find 'Bucket List Project'. This man has never missed. I will say Saba has some of the best hooks in HipHop right now.
If people know the history of Chicago you would know that alot of Renown Black men come from there... black businesses schools Families Housing etc. people dont know why Chicago the way it is now...... my boi Saba tapped in 🕊 #LongLiveWalt
wow Saba’s daughter will get to watch this one day and have all these family memories saved for her & put together so beautifully. this is a great album
Yo. This was so wholesome, beautiful and raw. 🥲 I love the storytelling and the imagery. I cried when you showed the abandoned building. All of those rich memories that took place there. I felt your pain and saw the hurt in your face. You are so brave for opening up your heart and creating a body of work based off of everything you ever loved and knew, and reflecting on the loss that you experienced. That's not an easy thing. Our first reaction is to run and hide from pain but you faced it and made beautiful art from it. You told our story as well as our grandparents because all of our grandparents did come from the South for a better life. You showed the world what life was like as a child growing up in Chicago. To us, it was a beautiful place despite all of the violence. Glad you did this. Got me all in my feels this morning. Rest in peace to everyone that was lost. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

thank you for this album. thank you.
LOVE your pfp.

Beautiful album, one of my favorites!
I’m glad to see rappers like Saba,Twista and Lupe Fiasco describe West Side Chicago.We always hear about South Chicago
Miss Kanye west. Common.
@@maryannappiagyei4277 Kanye West and Common are South Chicago artists.I like both of them and they are the most important Chicago rappers.I just hear one part of Chicago which gotten most of the media attention I want to hear the other parts of the city.
@@edwardkelly3280 musically Chicago can never be forgotten
“I had everything I needed”…that really makes me stop and think man, my eyes are watering
I take too much of this world for granted, I’m hurt and I’m losing my way. But I’m ready to hear something to change my perspective. The wait was worth it, Thank you.

2012 is one of my personal favorites really takes me back to a special moment in my life...there's a lot we should be grateful for.
that part killed me I just started bawling out of nowehere damn
You're about to make me tear up too. It's one of the most beautiful part of the album. Great message.
i know it's early in the year but this is gonna be in top 3 albums of 2022, these visuals do it so much justice
ayo FNG's a Saba fan??? thats so fire
Dead trim, Live taste!
SBW [ Saba this week ]
Yooo Niran listens to Saba? Thats fire
I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself 😭😭😭😭 Saba fans off the gaff
One of the best lyrical story-tellers of our time.
Saba literally changing rap. I aint seen no one put out any kind of art this beautiful and personal. Saba is the future.
He is a modern great, but these visuals do resemble “never catch me” by flying lotus. Watch it if you haven’t seen it.
@@variantsnetwork love that clip
this video's reminding me of Don't go tellin your mama by topaz jones, amazing piece to watch, highly recommend
Everything for sale by westside boogie is another good one
Earl Sweatshirt is another artist that does the same.
“All the small things about being broke I never got to notice” got me to appreciate a lot
This film really made me nostalgic in every which way, I wasn’t expecting this to hit me as hard.
Saba has an extreme sense of artistic integrity
One of the best introspective healing albums I've ever listened to...so it's like it gets better than care for me every single time I listen...that intro is so fucking good that I cried multiple times cuz my grandma died a few years ago and when he said " its been a while since the last time we saw you"...any way i thank you saba for his masta piece
right, i thought i'd never like something from saba as much as care for me but this album is something special
Really does get better every listen
Amazing talent, visionary! You can see when people genuinely care about the art they put out
this album will be looked back on as a benchmark. you’re special man.
No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it.

Same here. Still enjoy Care for me better since it’s so nostalgic for me but this album was fantastic.
This album is so special to me, like the songs just mean so much to me, like I FEEL THIS SH*T!
I am touched.
Learn to make peace with your past and your heritage!
Learn to appreciate the little everyday good things in the present, however few they may be!
Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.
Too me
I’m working on it. Thank you and blessings 🙏🏽
Saba really went all out, he made art in every form
I love everything about this record, not just the music but the ideas a d visuals behind it. You are an artist, got into Saba a bit late but I am happy I was here for the release of this one
This album is a work of art, thank you 🤍
Its beautiful. The sound I've been waiting for 💯

Whew! Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I didn’t know saba had Ghanaian roots!
This album deserve the Grammy this year! Get better at least get a nomination, but it definitely deserves the win!
Yes. He deserves him win hope wish nominees list
When he said “I had everything I needed “ I felt that 👊🏾
2012 is my favorite 😍

We can tell you put your soul in this one. Grateful for your art.
Too me man. feel good Only listen album “I’m relate. That.
So that panned shot with the plant blooming... That was magic.
This got me nostalgic about growing up on the westside in the early 90s. Thanks for bringing it back.
I remember a time where i had so little yet had everything i ever needed, but as ive grown a little older i feel as though ive got nothing anymore. This has really helped me. Thank you Saba for everything. I hope there comes a day where everybody has peace within themselves.
Thank you Saba. What for? For trusting your gut and pursuing your calling. For having the confidence to release your music knowing not everyone is gonna love it. Most of all, for telling not just your story, but everyone’s story. Thank you.
Cry through at least half of this album because it’s so good. The last track in particular hits hard. Can’t wait to see you on May 5th.
Already, this deserves an award! Worldwide recognition at the very most! Positivity to the fullest!
Thank you Saba for your presentations of blackness in all of its beauty. You are both an artist and the art! Keep shining and putting the West Side back on the map!!! All my love
Album is amazing “Few Good Things” is now my favorite song by you just overtook “Photosynthesis” Thanks for the work G 💯
Another great album. Your music is the best to get a day started, everyday motivation.
Man I wept watching this. It reminded me of so much, from my family to different experiences. I felt the love, pain and struggle throughout.
Big Salute Fr Saba… You Paint Yo Story In A Masterful Way… I’m Coming Out The Same Region Of The City… See You At The Top 🥂
This was monumentally masterful! Saba thank you for pouring your soul into your art and sharing it to us all. You inspire the world
this is so powerful...Chicago is all through this film.....
The Album has so much more meaning now, Thank you Saba
This is So Dope Bro 🔥🔥🔥💯💯👏👏
Instant classic album. Thank you Saba!
definitely gonna be on my list for the album of the year. will come back and listen to this a lot, i‘m 100% sure about that. great work, thank you Saba
This album is a classic! Saba has grown so much as an artist and is one of the newer generation that is keeping hip hop intact. Can't wait to see him perform this live 🙏🏾
can y'all stop calling everything a classic. it can't be a classic when it just came out. a classic is something that's timeless and old

I Love the album. I Love the short film. This is a great work of art.
All of Saba's work is immaculate, been my favourite artist for a while now.
Few good things...it's all about the simple things sometimes.
I really appreciate this album and this film -- PIVOT GANG 💙💚
Can't. Stop. Crying. This is beautiful. Fundamentally foundational to realistic maturity.
Story-telling was amazing. The director & film told his story fantastically. Shoutout to Cont4ct!
been listening on repeat for the past couple of days, great to come across a music video too

"I've always struggled to converse if it wasn't a verse, social anxiety it got me stumbling on words" so much power packed into one small sentence
