I never get tired of this song, masterpiece

[MrCrZe]

Mad respect to my nigga phonte, no matter if he spits a verse or does the hook, kills it everytime.

[MrMaddzkillz]

I’m not even black, but this joint is universal in its meaning. Both Styles and Pharoahe bodied and can we talk about how Phonte absolutely spazzed on the chorus! Who said rappers can’t sing.

[Mister]

The track is a response to the loss of connection we once had. Our Elders tried to instruct us to remind each other that we are a people apart, different, but together. We missed the last part. We fell apart, now things fall apart. Pharoahe is quite often ahead of his time, right smak in the middle of time, and pushing you ahead in time. With this one, he's pushin'. Pharoahe Monch, a MASTER in the Art form.

This whole album was brutally slept on.

I love the subliminals in the video though. Notice all the negative things get black/white highlights and the positive in color. From beginning to end, It suggests that these are things we should stay away from: It starts off with P cutting fresh vegetables in color, then transitions to fried foods in black and white, tea/coffee in color, then newports in black/white, black love in color then, then violence in black/white. The subliminals and lyrics in this video mesh

Crazy how this didn't get no run on the radio, serius. This shit is fiya

Seven years later, this is STILL one of my favorite joints ever! Pharoahe is hands downs of the most gifted lyricists to ever touch the mic. Broken Again (P.T.S.D. album) is also one of many favorite joints from him as well.

Styles P is one of the most underrated hip hop artists out there, I have been listening to him since the lox and he's been on my top 10 ever since.

[nonekbonetone]

This is the kind of positive music that doesn't get played on the radio and these are the types of videos that do not get played on m.t.v. Instead we are fed garbage about how women are hoe's, men ain't shit and how women should be hoe's to get those men who ain't shit. Real hip hop is not dead it's just placed behind a thick veil.

[kavanlybamba]

Phaoraohe Monch Definitely in my top 5!!!!

[classiql]

I love the way we greet each other... Handshake and a hug

[OjBlack]

The 70's soul inspired instrumentals are ridiculous, love the string section.

[bowdownORbringthawar]

Hip hop is not dead. IF it was, this wouldn't exist. 

[alexadigiraw]

This is real hip hop with a real message as always truth and love shine 4 ever.

[TheImmortalLowlife]

I'm so glad there's still dudes like this around making real hip-hop albums

[RealTalkRS]

Dope how the director utilized the John Carpenter's "They Live" concept into this video for this very positive message!

[moluv]

Watching this makes me wanna cry and I’m almost 50.

[vicxog]

in all honesty, this may be in top 3 hip hop songs of all time-the rhymes, the positive message, the violins, the beats, its just beautiful beyond words...

[ScottyKushTV]

Still one of the coldest songs videos I’ve heard and watched the way it be giving me chills.
