    Honestly hearing that first part always brings me to tears. I don't know why. My heart just shakes. And before I know it my tears are streaming. It also happens when I hear the originals. They sing so beautifully

    • @tobsmonster2
      @tobsmonster2 Před 7 lety +3

      How? Aside from blind faith, how can you honestly attribute anything that happens in life to god's intervention?

    • @goku8621
      @goku8621 Před 7 lety +10

      tobsmonster2 my freshman year of high school I never did any work and skipped for almost a damn near month I found out i failed the 9th grade i cried like a bitch for 2 weeks but i prayed and prayed every night for 3 months started doing my work in school and then suddenly i got called up to guidance and they told me they had a credit for me not put in from 8th grade and that helped me get bumped up if that ain't God helpin a nigga out idk what is

    • @tobsmonster2
      @tobsmonster2 Před 7 lety +6

      goku8621
      I don't see how any of that is down to divine intervention, but I can't prove it wasn't and so I won't dispute that. What I'm trying to work out is if there is anything more than blind faith that makes you believe god had taken action. For example, I went through a similar situation myself recently, but it was with work instead of school. I got a job I didn't expect to get and the intervention in my case was a friend putting in a good word for me. I believe that's what got me the job, because that friend and my employer both confirmed that's what happened. Why do you believe god got you bumped up in your grades?

    • @ThatMinority
      @ThatMinority Před 7 lety +6

      tobsmonster2 all of this has to do with perception. if you believed or had in a god that has a hand in lives. it would of course be easier to understand. but it's funny because it's just as hard for someone who does believe to understand a life without. but an explanation that might satisfy you, is that God moves so that people can decide to come nearer or stray. God had his guidance counselor look upon him with favor and worked something out, when they didn't have too. I'm sure there have been others with the same extra credit that weren't aloud to go up a grade.

    • @MrDvine23
      @MrDvine23 Před 7 lety +6

      tobsmonster2 well u believed they helped you then it was god, outside of religion which I'm done with, God is everywhere in all us. you may not belive but just take some time out to just meditate and you'll feel him or her idk for sure but our ancestors and Indians belived in the spiritual realm which God made us in his image, so therfore were are all gods, we just haven't tapped into it spiritually, I don't have prove but just based of situations and things I've felt meditating. give it a try before u knock it. If not cool, remember differences are what makes us unique.

      hmm...maybe around the times when 67 people get shot on a 2 day weekend or probably when they closed down a gang of public schools and all of those children are displaced and nowhere to be found. Or simply could be when all this Savage crap came out and guys are getting aired out on the street and the shooters dip out in the getaway car and roll over a baby in his carriage while the mother is pushing it. So that's what I mean when I say Chicago is back on the map! it's refreshing to hear a MC from the crib and be able to enunciate and use more than three and four letter words. It's been a while G.

    jay electronica IMO is one of the greatest to ever do it. you can talk albums, sales, longevity, what the dude did a few years back was just stupid, all of his music has a crazy amount of heart and soul in it. his album will drop at some point and he won't get the credit he deserves. but I hope jay z and chance and other rappers help him get back to where he was in the rap game. because people need to know that man. you cant name a rapper that was better at doing intros than that dude. and you know he helped make this intro. please jay, come back to us, we need you
