    I feel like this song is a very soulful side of hiphop kinda like the blues in the way that you have to feel it to play it. I have always loved this song and the music by it's self is just timeless, unfortunately we have lost this is long gone, as it is with most music on the radio not much soul left in it.

    The change in hip hop was so subtle. I recently watched a video about hip hop artists from the late '90s to the early '00s era and I can't believe how much the music has changed. How did we let this happen? Why is Young Thug wearing girly clothes and calling his friends "boo" and other terms of endearment? Why are skinny aka sexy jeans (let's be honest) worn by men? Why aren't there any true LYRICISTS anymore?

    • @marcusjones1889
      @marcusjones1889 9 лет назад +6

      because real hip hop is too powerful! got to dumb down the masses. those who control the industry rep for the devil. thats why they wearing girly clothes and got lil wayne and birdman puckering all up for the picture! straight up nonsense! the devil got kicked out of heaven, Isaiah 14:12-16. we are living in the last days, evil days before the Lord Jesus Christ comes back! probably during the feast of trumpets around september this year due to the 4th blood moon on jewish holiday. we all sinners, read john 3:16-18 and repent of all sins and confess Jesus as your savior. the blood he shed covers all of our sins. they don't want you knowing that. that is why kanye said before he went nuts, they say you can rap about anything except for Jesus. accept and confess Jesus! with that being said, this is a hot joint by talib kweli!!

      Yvonne Criddle A better question is why are people acting homophobic towards modern rap? It's weird how a major complaint is that the guys are too feminine for you folks. The last question still rings true -- where's the lyricists?

      thesmoothone If that's what gets the money flowing, them so be it. I'm not too big of a fan of the feminization of men but if that's what keeps the money flowing then the companies will do whatever they can to keep their pockets lined.
      I would like to listen to the radio and not hear bounce that___, shake that ___ or make that ___ clap. I don't want to listen to music about strip clubs, using/abusing drugs or performing random sex acts. Then again, I'm just getting old. :)
