Seeing Kendrick body this shit just makes me emotional man. It’s all he wanted. Mans saw California Love being made. Came from them times. Worked his ass off. Bless. Love you Kendrick and AB. #blackhippy
I know for a fact, I could hang out with most people in this thread. Like minded people who feel life on a different level. This kinda music hits harder than ever in today's climate.
Ab Soul and Jay Rock dont get enough love for the skill they have. Saw them both live. both amazing. and you best believe jay rock can do a concrete backflip cuz homie can do that shit on stage no problem. 1 love
I took this era of music for granted in high school. Glad to say I experienced one of the best periods of time in hip hop live but it really took all this time and looking back on it to see how good these guys were from the start.
@@Mop_Deep It wasn't really an era just a minor shot in the arm for rap only because of TDE and Kendrick , even he fell off after GKMC If we're being honest. Outside of one or 2 great albums every now and then Hip Hops long been dead since the late 90s or early 2000s at best.
@@pasekamlotshwa2540 yes ab soul was the first person to call himself the goat. do even listen to rap bro. it must be one of the most used sentence in the rapgame
The year was 2010, I was on cloud 13 accompanied by marie jane and psylocibin chillin with some homies when this dude showed up, he wanted to buy some, we invited him to blaze one up with us, then he asked if we're into hip hop and if he can put on a song that we might like, I'll never forget that day, he put on this gem and I felt like I was falling in love with hip hop all over again, ever since that day I've been on TDE and studied all their tapes. Thank you dude who's name I forgot who just wanted to buy some weed, mvp.
Ha, always the random stuff we end up being grateful for. Weed dude got faded and you got laid. Not jus laid but a life changing lay..let's jus say you got blessed there homeboy🎼🎶🎵🔥💯
Kendrick Lamar fought for his place in the world. He became exactly what he wanted to to become. This is inspiring..one of one in a few decades. This guy is a gift..
Who else listening to this after hearing Kendrick’s new album. Just reminiscing on the days where him and the whole tde crew were still on the come up. Great times 🔥 wish we got more Kendrick and soul collabs
It’s 2023 almost 24 and I’m sitting here reminiscing the time I discovered this 10 years ago with my friends, a simpler time just smoking weed and worrying about school
If you guys wanna hear some fresh music check out Joe Caine, he’s gonna blow up soon mark my words. He has a mixtape called lucky 7 that recently came out and I gotta say chief it’s the one
I miss these days. Damnn man makes me ponder. No worries, either that or I was to young to notice I was worrying. Now it's nothing but money and viruses. God bless you all
I'm filled with nostalgia, i used to play this track on repeat during 14-15 when i first discovered this gem, skilled emcees like soul & kendrick. life is not same today. but music brings me back to that time. One love & peace.
Life _suuuuckss._ I just want to build cars. I should've at least had some sort of start 5 years ago but it's whatever... Anyways, keep ya guys' heads up :P
I had to think about when I was 14-15, putting me in 9th grade, and who really ripped sh!t up at the time. KRS was the one. Blaze his own records AND the guest features! LL, Cube, Kane, and Brother J could challenge, then Busta comes along and wins me over as well. I wouldn't hear Brand Nubian for another year to add them to the list. So Kris had the title in my book.
This beat just speaks to me. It makes me feel some type of way. Top notch lyricism. An underrated gem right here. Still bumping this in 2021 and beyond because the nostalgia is surreal!!!!
Pretty crazy how all these old Ab-Soul songs used to feature Kendrick, and then Kendrick blew the fuck up, but Ab-Soul didn't. Kendrick has the technical edge, I'll give him that, but they both rap about real shit and their production is dope. It's too bad Ab-Soul didn't rise to the level of fame and prominence that Kendrick did.
Ab soul one of the top rappers today lyrically but he is highly underated....his lyrics are deeper than what people think its like u really got to listen to get the full effect...hopefully one day soul brother#2 gets his recognition
Yo ab soul is alrite theres way better out there KING LOS ,DICKY JONYER LUCUS , B.O.B , big krit, K.A.A.N , KYLE BENT, FLATBUSH ZOMBIES , COLE , LAMAR Check or texas underground remember what jay z said U.G.K is his favorite and when his cousin said that there aint many of us jay said less is more thats plenty of us check out Z-ro ,slim thug and lil keke texas we the funkiest Y so mamy e drake make a DJ
Man this shit reminds me of my childhood friends and those young kids growing up on them basketball courts where I’m from. It was always open from kids to adults and we went at it every night.

well, I think there are little colder nuggets being spread out through our lands.

Came to watch this after Meet the grahams Came out Its a kendrick year
People forgot how lyrical Kendrick is.

right

No lie I haven't met a person I couldn't vibe with who listens to TDE

I need a Kendrick and ab-soul collab album. Hip-hop needs that more than a J Cole and Kendrick album.
Start a movement
Go listen to Black Hippies
For sure they can't let Ab die out! Dude is just ahead of his time.

I’ll admit, I was not there. In their era. I knew nothing about any of TDE besides Jay Rock. But that’s the beauty of classic music. I’m here now.
Soul deserves more recognition..TDE didn’t miss till they signed REASON. Cause he sounds too generic tbh.
Man what an era of rap this was.... Beat's so clean and the lyrics are insane! Always come back to these tunes every year.
I don't even think this was an Era. This was just the TDE sound around this time. Drill rap would come out a year or two after this video dropped.
@@Mop_Deep this song I listened to a lot during days alone in my army barracks kept my head boppin through some hard times
@@Mop_Deep definitely an era not just TDE

man this track is fireeee brooo I feel!! you this is beautiful!
Ab soul is something else man that new with Cole is also next level
One of my favorite songs ever, gives that 90’s rap vibe I think that’s why I like it so much , even ab soul said no one raps like this no more
Kendrick just stated he’s leaving TDE after this last album!! This will forever be History now🔥🔥🔥🔥
Verse 2 is a goat verse & just ONE example of why Soul is top 5 ever and it's not even close
thank god for making me remember this nostalgic work. this shit still hits hard.. danm...I miss my old days..
Pretty crazy how all these old Ab-Soul songs used to feature Kendrick, and then Kendrick blew the fuck up, but Ab-Soul didn't. Kendrick has the technical edge, I'll give him that, but they both rap about real shit and their production is dope. It's too bad Ab-Soul didn't rise to the level of fame and prominence that Kendrick did.
Regardless, ab soul can keep up with Kendrick with bars, in my opinion he might be better
Honestly I prefer Ab over Kendrick in terms of delivery. Both are just on another level though.
Ab didn’t sell out for fame
TDUD
@@mrmeftw781 neither did kendrick
In my opinion Ab soul is the best TDE member of all of them lyrically. People sleep on Soulo too much
Right!!
It’s true, ab soul is the best
Where the hell has he been lately? Dude ain't put out nothing since DWTW but that song on the Black Panther album
even though Kendrick went mainstream can't deny he is the most lyrically gifted though, don't agree with that pop shit he was doing
@@mrsm4172 Ab-Soul the best lyricist on TDE, yes he lyrically better then Dot

Ab soul one of the top rappers today lyrically but he is highly underated....his lyrics are deeper than what people think its like u really got to listen to get the full effect...hopefully one day soul brother#2 gets his recognition
Dick Dansom i think it was a pretty fresh album, nothing to souls standards tho.
Dick Dansom these days wasnt that bad
Tony People just aren't checking for this.
Edit: Didn't realise it's been 3 years.
his music is boring, it's been done over and over sub standard at best. Chief keef, Lil Pump, Fredo Santana etc are really good rappers.
