My brothers and sisters! This song is golden, these two artist bringing hope back. As for the song, it's a cover of War's "The world is a ghetto". It also samples Stevie Wonder's "Higher ground" right after the start. It also contains some portions of Marvin Gaye's "Heard it through the grapevine" Most important thing to me is this kid BJ. He reaches out at the old days and cooks a dope result together. The whole composition (instrumentation, guitar licks, production) is golden and soulful !!!
2022 just started and it’s already shit so I’m smoking a fat blunt rn and vibing and lowky tearing up cause this song got me reminiscing and it’s so relatable cause it feels like it’s truly ur self against the world
Respect and love always to the OriGinal Creators of 'The World Is A Ghetto' at facebook.com/LowriderBand aka WAR. WAR are multi-platinum/gold recording artists, three time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees, and were the last band to jam with Jimi Hendrix. Declare #WARforRockHall2019 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Peace.
Child Noir Unfortunately this got taken off the album a while ago (I'm assuming because of sample clearance issues). I managed to get it from iTunes before that happened tho, lucky me lol
Just cause they're all nice artists doesn't mean they'd sound sound good together. Especially that combination haha. Take BJ out and bring in the weeknd and you got yourself a nice track
What a classic!!! Need it on Spotify.
God bless both BJ and KL for doing such a classic song that reaches time and essence of the soul.
Love that 60s - 70s funk style.

The world is a ghetto
War -the world is a ghetto old soul
wat about this BJTHCK x Bryson Tiller x Tory Lanez
he is a better writer than both of them, singer, and live singer
Just cause they're all nice artists doesn't mean they'd sound sound good together. Especially that combination haha. Take BJ out and bring in the weeknd and you got yourself a nice track
I'm black and proud......
very west coast
DJ Battlecat is responsible....
+Mark Isaacs It figures.
+Charles White Definitely has a Snoop/Dre feel now that you mention it. I was thinking James Brown, but everything is everything.
N_Hood dudes west of Crenshaw hear nothing but Battlecat on this track!
Although a legend, Dre funk wasn't quite as nasty...
Thanks for turning me on to DJ Battlecat. Dude is good.
but it still isnt a sample, just a cover
naaah man, he reminds u of a good singer. like nate once was..
one dislike, nice
great beat. but as soon as he opens his mouth, the song is ruined.
Shut yo ass up, stop HATIN
