@@carlo2038 wow sounds horrible am an african living with africans we only heard of racism through Hollywood , here things are completely different , beacuse there is no racism here you can call somebody black and he will never get offended, same for white , and the most important thing is that the black community are the nicest here its cummon knowledge
The underlying messages in this song echo sentiments of what it's like to be a black male psychologically and socially and how inherently out the womb you are conditioned to have inclinations toward certain environments, to not do or say certain things while u maneuver and worm your way through a human ecosystem where you're valued for what you can bring to the table rather than just being at the table. And where your complexion and culture are challenged daily, they don't care if you fold...but when you become liberated from those chains in all the many ways, those who work to oppress fear your progress. Venus and DocDot snapped straight up
@@callanc3925 You clearly misunderstood the analogy which futher confirms that you lack the credibility to really speak on this. 1) I was speaking from the perspective of black men who fit the context, not society as a whole. 2) Being valued with equity as a human being ("just being at the table") has nothing to do with America operating as a meritocracy-- even though that's a questionable take anyway -- because you can't earn your inherent worth as a person. So that 'handouts' rhetoric is tired bruv
@@juburke5862 No member of society as a whole is deserving of being valued for being at the table so why should any specific other people. I said we live in a meritocracy, meaning people who bring more to the table will be valued more highly than those who bring less and that if someone brings absolutely nothing to the table then they shouldnt be valued as highly as someone who brings a lot to the table.

It's a feast on the tab and earthgang just knocked it over so everybody gone eat!!!!!! J. Cole is that dude for signing real talented artists and not gimmicks
I'm a 56 year old grandmother and I feel this music. My boy just turned me on to it and its really calms my nerves because its all truth and I need someone to tell the world what's really happening!
Justin Smith I really think it's cause their flow is too complex for your average fan especially In the age of people mumbling and saying yeah and aye after every sentence. Most people want nursery level flow. whereas these guys are switching between 16ths,triplets, and double time effortlessly and crossing bar lines while telling a story. They just can't handle that shit
Drake does jack shit for the artists he signed he simply is just trophies to Drake rather than aspiring superstars Cole actually helps put his artists more than one feature and leaving Cole does some production and sometimes guest verses for more than one song
This shit needs to get attention too not just the other "styles" of rap, we need the lit club shit and this quality rap not just one or the other, they both need equal light. But ignorance sells🤷🏽♂️
Famous dex explained it best when he said lil pump, smokepurpp and himself are not rappers or artist, he explained himself as a entertainer, he was like, "you wont hear Jay-Z in a club, you know you cant bump to Jayz like you can my music, but thats a legend, and with Jay-Z you gonna get you that story" like, I like lil pump to bump, but when I want that real shit you know im turning to FBZ or J. Cole, Earthgang, Kendrick, Mac, the list goes on.. Its all about what your feeling ig, Im the type to appreciate all music..cept country lol
This symbolism was great. from the black woman with blue eyes, the white politicians playing musical chairs, the preacher talking to the wall, and the white women bathing jid and earthgang. much needed in this racial climate 👏🏾
2 years ago Earthgang opened for Goldlink. Both artist weren’t even big yet. Crew wasn’t popular yet. But went on to being a Grammy nominated single. Stay woke. Continue to expand yalls knowledge on music. Bambo Rascal 💯
Hahah you guys stupid or wut You don't need to google "medidate" in order to do it You just do it In your own way The fundamental thing in meditating is deep breathing As long as you are doing that, you're good You sound like the typical modern people who would even google things like "how to drink a glass of water" before drinking a glass of water
Yeah IDK. Its a toss up for me because I love pro era. I love Joey, Nyck, Kirk (The nyck @ Knight project was one of my favorite albums this year). Capital Steez (RIP) was so talented but I sadly can't count him. Then CJ Fly is ok and dessy hinds is ok but overall its just logic, nyck and kirk. Dreamville has Cole (who i think is a bit better than joey), Jid (Never story is 2nd best album this year imo), earthgang is incredible and I can't wait for their 3rd ep o the year and their upcoming album. Bas is really good. Cozz is ok, omen is ok an ari kinda sucks. Like I said, its a toss up but i just prefer cole over joey and i think dreamville is deeper so ima go with dreamville.

The statue at 2:31 is Lady Justice, an allegorical personification of the moral force of judicial systems. The blindfold represents impartiality, however, the dramatic close-up of her face suggests another meaning - being blind to the truth. The sword represents authority . Lady Justice is traditionally depicted with scales in her right hand, however there are no scales present here, just the handle. The scales represent the weighing of evidence, and lack a foundation to signify that evidence should stand on its own. The lack of scales signify that the judicial system convicts Black people without sustainable evidence. The Black man is attempting to tear down justice - not because it is not important, but because it does not exist - at least for Black Americans. Powerful use of symbolism, throughout the whole video. This video is an artwork.
I recognized the Oh Land sample and I got chills when the beat dropped.. So my mind was blown before the flow even came in, I must be like a puddle now or something
"Okay, everybody wanna be a nigga, but nobody wanna be a nigga when it's time to be a nigga." -That's the line that hits you immediately, and then comes back on you every now and again for the rest of your life.
You were made on purpose for a beautiful purpose, your not an accident... your creator loves and knows you by name and is ready you to give you a hope and a future a peace and love that can't be found anywhere else ... nothing in this world will ever satisfy. Jesus is the way the truth and life, turn and call to Him and He will reveal Himself in the most wonderful way
“I put the colors on the spectrum” “I let you assign them worth” Damn that shit was cold but I’m right there with you brother 👊🏽 people who ain’t black won’t understand this song but I do and the culture needed this

Marlon Garcia j coles better then Drake in every aspect of life
That's because drake just steals other rappers beats
drake's label is a sweatshop
This had absolutely nothing to do with Drake yet y’all mention him smh.Cole fans so insecure

[Intro: JID]
(Lay, sleep, wake up, lay... down, sleep
Uh, wake up
Cry, eat, sleep, world...)
Everybody-uh
Everybody-uh
[Verse 1: JID]
Okay, everybody wanna be a nigga, but nobody wanna be a nigga when it's time to be a nigga
If you thinkin' it, then say it, when you see a nigga; please be clear, I rhyme, I do not mind read
I ride the beat then have your girl ride the C-train to me to ride the D
And give me brain, and you can see the stains I place upon the sheet-oh, you gon' come for me?
Well, my nigga, you better have an army at least-more than a gun for me
I'm more than a man, not a God, but the boy is a man, we ignore all the noise from the outlandish
Standout with the cannon, outstandin' south bandit, don't panic, please, 'cause if I get nervous we get un-sturdy and we start to squeeze
[Verse 2: Johnny Venus]
Okay, niggadom
Nigga from nigga slum
Blue tongue, red tongue
Nigga flavors, go 'head, son, get you some
Nigga got a lot of gifts but
Package store was always open
Jail house don't ever close
And my world view was always shut
Trap spot was always bunkin'
Neighborhood was always crunk
See I was outside riskin' snakes eyes
With my life chances, stakes high
Only outlet was the moon walk
Michael Jackson dances, so shuck and jive, nigga, bust a nine
Shoot behind the line, my only advances
USA eat me like a cancer
UK eat me like a cancer
Gettin' money and they tag the crib
Ask King James, "what's the fucking answer?"
Still a nigga out in Calabasas
Still a nigga when I greet the masses
Oval office, presidential grasses
When I fuck my white girl and I meet her daddy
I know deep down inside, man, he hate that shit
Plotting for the perfect time to bury me
Nigga, please, show 'em the green like a caddy
Verena, Serena them daddy
But that shit don't change my appearance
Asians like, "That's my nigga"
Latins like, "That's my nigga"
White folks like, "That's my nigga"
'Til it's time to die, bye, bye, nigga
Now don't get offended, I was just giving you hard time
Come to your block, give you hard line
My, did I come at the wrong time?
But see I sent comets to the Earth
Me, I was humming at your birth
I put colors on the spectrum
I let you assign them worth
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
I be looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you, ooh
Looking for peace when I stare at you
[Verse 3: Doctur Dot]
You know I'm here for the nigga shit
Whole life been nigga rich
Since my momma let a project nigga hit
Set it up so when I meet the reaper
Let my son reap the benefits
Nigga shit on social media
Get a nigga pinched, end up in the pen
Surrender your independence 'til the sentence finished
Even with no pot you got a cup to piss in
Burning bridges with my tunnel vision
Bitches leave niggas for cunnilingus
Fuck me like her nigga non-existent
No negativity, niggativity
Why you being silly fucking with me
Giggity giggity
When I'm in the city
They like, Doc you litty
Not as lit as I'm finna be
I just wake up and do shit differently
I can never say they doubted my ability
Along the way some niggas just wasn't feeling me
Niggas lost faith and quit on me
I just tuck 'em in the back of my memory
One monkey don't stop no show, my niggas got goals and responsibilities
So you know by any means, really mean any and everything to the team
Nothing off limits nigga, ain't gon' keep shit clean
Me and my niggas them niggas that they should've never let go free
Niggas got me talking through my teeth like I'm 50 Cent in '03
Ain't no Kunta Kinte, nigga Toby what they told me
"What it's gon' be?"
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
I be looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you, ooh
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
Looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you
I be looking for peace in America
Looking for peace when I stare at you, ooh
Looking for peace when I stare at you
[Outro: DC Young Fly]

Nov 2019
Still dirty dawg 2020
I had to come check in on Earthgang. I love, love, love this. I can never get enough of this song. It'll never get old. Flows of perfection.
It takes me an immense amount of effort to rap JIDs first couple sentences, genuinely extremely impressive even 4 years later
I like the O Brother, Where Art Thou theme to it
THE BEST AND MOST PERFECT HIPSTERS I KNOW AS WELL 🕊
All 3 of them gruesomely annihilated the beat! 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Flow, The Lyrics, The Beat - just all-round perfection!!
4 year anniversary ALREADY?!?! Crazy how time flies
Why did i miss this? Why did i sleep? It was time to listen.
The statue at 2:31 is Lady Justice, an allegorical personification of the moral force of judicial systems. The blindfold represents impartiality, however, the dramatic close-up of her face suggests another meaning - being blind to the truth. The sword represents authority . Lady Justice is traditionally depicted with scales in her right hand, however there are no scales present here, just the handle. The scales represent the weighing of evidence, and lack a foundation to signify that evidence should stand on its own. The lack of scales signify that the judicial system convicts Black people without sustainable evidence. The Black man is attempting to tear down justice - not because it is not important, but because it does not exist - at least for Black Americans.
Powerful use of symbolism, throughout the whole video. This video is an artwork.
would yall PLEASE keep it up? Dont EVER quit...we need GOOD music.
JID flow is dangerous to the industry
It will change the sound instantly
It's been almost 2 years since I found these guys and i'm still replaying this at least twice a week.
THAT NEW EARTHGANG 🔥🔥🔥
Stephen Asencio Instrumental to Meditate on my channel, check it out!
I put colours on the spectrum I let you assign them worth...
No color has less or more worth! We are all people not a fucking rainbow.
Masta ! Mind ! That's not how society wants to live.
I'd like to thank J.Cole for saving and promoting real rap‼💯🔥🔥😎🐐
you know what you're talking about
Dreamville is fire
1st time watching the video after hearing this a hundred times. i love the obrother, especially them sirens
So Glad ROTD3 put me on to Earthgang
Facts!
This the kinda Atlanta hip hop I miss. Dungeon family would be proud.
If we as a species stop all hate across the globe, God will show himself to all of us.
I recognized the Oh Land sample and I got chills when the beat dropped..
So my mind was blown before the flow even came in, I must be like a puddle now or something
Looking for Peace in America....
Then Come back to God's laws
KING OF THE JOFUNDIES Stop force feeding people your beliefs. It’s toxic and off putting
Tremendous depth in this soundtrack. Great talent and beautiful minds🧠.
"Everybody wanna be a nigga but nobody wanna be a nigga when time to be a nigga " is insane🤔🤫😎👏👏👏👍
"Okay, everybody wanna be a nigga, but nobody wanna be a nigga when it's time to be a nigga."
-That's the line that hits you immediately, and then comes back on you every now and again for the rest of your life.
The epitome of a classic!
The amount of talent in their hair alone, deserves a Grammy
You were made on purpose for a beautiful purpose, your not an accident... your creator loves and knows you by name and is ready you to give you a hope and a future a peace and love that can't be found anywhere else ... nothing in this world will ever satisfy. Jesus is the way the truth and life, turn and call to Him and He will reveal Himself in the most wonderful way
The really sad part is that this song is still as relevant today as it was almost 3 years ago. Only thing that changed is the date.
The future of hip hop is in good hands
🌋🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Black brothers where art thou” 💯
I’m here bro
@@dsgbatonrouge2007 this music vid is kinda based on the movie “O brother Where art thou”
J. Cole is the messiah and his dreamville disciples are doing the good work of the lord
THIS. IS. RAP.
So underrated.
WHO.....THE HELL......ARE THESE DUDES!!!!! I'm just getn hip. Been bumping they songs for 3 days straight. Dayum!!!!
“I put the colors on the spectrum”
“I let you assign them worth”
Damn that shit was cold but I’m right there with you brother 👊🏽 people who ain’t black won’t understand this song but I do and the culture needed this
mtZi ahhahahaha same
Not all white people are ignorant, i mean im spanish but i know a few white people who understand
@@nagualscabone3208 stop lying
@@Redknowledge.c its ignorant to just believe everyone is something based on their race. Thats like saying all black people steal, all hispanics are illegal, all asians eat dogs, etc.. Not all white people are ignorant
Zachary Bibbs by saying he is lying... you are literally doing exactly what the lyrics said not to do
JID is literally amazing
