U-N-I, Blu & Exile, Evidence, Dom Kennedy, Ab Soul, Dumbfounded, Pac Div, OverDoz and Nipsey Hussle were some of the examples that the made the L.A. rap scene in the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s such an memorable if not legendary experience. That was literally the last time we ever saw a artistic phenomenon like that in our lifetimes shortly before gentrification came and fucked everything up!
Agreed af I miss it but I will always love la music no matter what it’s a kind of it’s own I’m from Texas but I’ve always had a west coast soul it’s weird I think I was meant to live there
After years of not knowing what the sample was, I've finally found it. It's not on Whosampled or anything. Just sitting going through records and BOOM. Bill Evans & Toots Thielemans - "Jesus´ Last Ballad"
The nostalgia of this song is mesmerizing. I roll back to this song every now and then. I get quiet, and just listen and vibe. Edit: Years later, I found the sample that they used. Return to Forever, Hello Again.
I came across this song in 2008, I'd just been in my sophomore year of high school. This changed my life and made me want music for myself. This video still hits. Big love forever. I'm 26 now and owe a lot to you guys.
God damn a whole decade later. At age 13 this was my favorite jam and music video. It was my summer anthem two years in a row. One love to you thurz and y-o. God bless your life’s I hope you’re all living good
This took me back to my college days. Long walks on campus and late night study sessions this song remain on repeat daily. Great music. 2 :38 when the beat dropped FIRED!!!
Remember seeing them at sneaker pimps in like 07 was so excited took a pic with them they put on a good performance and that was the first time I happened to hear and see wale... Miss that shit though :(
This song reminds me of a very hopeful time of my life as a 16 year old. I remember finding it in 2010. Thank you for this tune, it reminds me to never give up on myself, who I was then is still inside of me, just battered a bit
I heard this way back in 2007, loved the music you guys created then I typed you guys a myspace message because I wanted to make and you guys messaged me back, I appreciate that.
Thanks for the support folks. Our new project with Ro Blvd will be dropping on Tuesday, March 31st as a free download on our new site YOThurz com. Check out our latest mixtape with Mick Boogie "Before There Was Love"

I actually met these cats Downtown Houstonand these brother showed major love as we were vibing in tha mix with real hiphop and sistahs and brothas at tha Turning Point on Main st. much love respect !!!1 oh yeah get tha mix tape "before there was love"
This beat is one of the few hip hop beats, EVER..that never gets old to my ears and there is only like 10 I can think of. There is no earthly way you could dislike such a video..touches the ears and your mind. Makes you want to think........I remember when the song was just comin out and now it's 2011 and it still sounds new. Crazy.
@Thurzday I always told my homeboys that are into wayne and gucci and them that hip-hop wasnt dead, it was just hiding in the shadows, yall, pac div, asther roth, tiron, and others are the examples that hip-hop is coming back to us. Much Respect homie.
