I heard this song my senior year in high-school over 10 years ago. I was days away from joining the national gaurd. This really made me rethink the decision. Thank you
It died when the mumble rappers came out then drill Nas Big Pac storytelling was a big part of hiphop even Bone thugz and Harmony fast rappers not mumble rap its dead like nas said .
I've known the citizen cope track for ages, just discovered rhymefest's remake. Gotta say, this is some top notch music right here. Like, it does not get much better.
This is a beautiful collaboration of two great artists. Citizen Cope, so very handsome, here he looks like Johnny Deep with his hair pulled back. Ha. Like Johnny in the Pirates of Caribbean movies. Immaculate song, love this.
Today I thought of this song and found it again, last time I heard it played I was in a Hollister store looking at their tv feed of the Pacific ocean. This song came on and I wrote it down. It's still a beautiful song. Listening in 2020. Thanks for putting it on youtube so long ago.
I’m real far behind and I thought I was right up n front,ha...I’ve been listening to citizen cope for a good while, but 2nite was the first I’ve seen or heard this, and I was caught off guard to tell ya the truth. What a team! These two were like 2! Puzzle pieces that fit perfect and the song was mixed like it was made for this version. What’s really crazy is the fact they did this awhile ago yet it fits right n to where things r today n this country. These two should b proud of themselves for putting something out that doesn’t fade away, and still causes awareness years down the road.
Wow, this disappeared from the internet for so long. I used to watch the AOL Sessions version 15ish? years ago (when AOL was still doing cool stuff). Still great.
There’s a war going on outside no one’s is safe from you can run but you cant hide…thats one of Prodigy from Mobb Deep lyrics this man could have given him a shot out RIP BANDANA P you will always be greatly missed
The lyrics in this song reminds me of the movie Dead Presidents! Als I recommend it. Also just relatable for where I am at this point in life. Amazing live performance
He wasn't yo Kanye got it listen to 30 hours real friends and especially no mo parties in la he still knows how to flow and rhyme he just chooses not to he cares more bout expandin da sound and following trends not originated as much he still got it he need to try mo
Nope-even Consquence wrote and many others. Do your research...Kanye's mom PAID for those beats to get on Blueprint too...dude's an insustry asset and entity-why do you think he's going crazy?
I.T.L Roc He can rap he gets helps so does many other hip hop artists its not bad too have artists help u his music is so real consequence says that he just helps and that he helped him become mo technical so ha also he was always crazy everyone is he has toned it down know that he's married and has 2 kids your talking bout 2013 ye who was crazy
Rhymefest and kanye and consequence flows sound different Kanye west has a better voice and a way word. Consequence and Rhymefest have average weird voices.
So Powerful and relatable. You should do a song with Ms. Dynamite or Lizzo.. 💖💖 Salaams. My sibling had to serve in Iraq 😞.. Our whole family against the wars..
