Sim Simma
Who got the keys to my bloodclart bimmer?
Big time drilla
Monkey to gorilla
Who is this woman that I’m seeing in the mirror?
Drink 42 and smoke cigar
Name one time when I didn’t deliver
Silent figure
I was just on the ends
Dropping gems
With my friends
I got a 3310
And a pack of bless
Then got the golf all black
Circle back again
Rapping when
Nothing progressive was happening Ooo
Pain tolerance couldn’t break us
Pay homage if you respect how we came up cool
Trying to get to the paper
Hitta from Jamaica
Might do me a favour true
Big Simma
Dipping 10 toes in that ice cold river
Bank got bigger
Been a different species
Tunes in the locker I been waiting to unleash these
It’s a no show if you can’t guarantee fees
I ain’t got one threat to consider
Heaven and earth attached to 1 pillar
Rest in peace to Mac miller
New Simz drop to shake the whole shit up
What’s next
We’ll be here for months talking about prospects
Staying on my job yes sir
When rain is against her
I’m weather resistant on my polyester
Run thru the jungle they shoulda never let her
Cuts and wounds I hope will never fester Mmm yeah
Big art collector
Silent investor
Film director
Beating on my chest going ape shit
Putting in the grave shift
Ain’t life what you make it
Yeah it is
Cutting through the jungle in a all black fitted
Hat low incognito living
Introvert but she ain’t timid
My art will timeless I don’t do limits
Be very specific when you talk on who the best is
How can I address this?
Basically the rest is
Almost like to me what a stain to vest is
You ain’t dropped nothing in my eyes I’m impressed with
Please don’t be offended
But I’m not in the business of pretending
I got lines if you wanna get renting
Or find a agony aunt and get venting
Stop flooding my mentions with bullshit
Talking on Simz like she’s someone you went school with
Awkward
From day been the cool kid
Raps last hope and the faith I’m restoring
Don’t ask my opinion on shit cos to make you feel good about yourself is exhausting
I got bangers out in the world soaring
And I got bangers in the vault I been hoarding
Yeah true I got tennis in the morning
Before I start swinging that man’s gonna need a warning
Red light whenever I’m recording
Red light on the forehead of the informant
See I’m the only one on Gorilla
Simz is back yeah just got realer yeah
No choice now but to feel us
I know the streets will love it like I brought Mike skinner
So simmer down lil homie simmer
All that talk get you rubbed out quicker
I’m cut with a different scissor
From the same cloth of my dear ancestors
That’s why this shit give you the shivers
Im that cold
Higher, going higher
Higher, going higher
Higher, yeah we are
Higher, say what
Ayy sounds so special inside the world we live in its so rare to find
Go peep that, yeah
Its about time
We got, the just do’s for the work we put in over a decade in this bitch you know
Yeah man, Wooo
Say he never called another woman Mi Amor
So I opened up the way and now he adore
Did it on a wave I don’t play get you seasick
Charged up fully bar’d up I’m unleashing

#LittleSimz #NOTHANKYOU - Hudba
A lot of people say, 'one of the best Female rappers out there'. I say, one of the best rappers out there.
yeah people need to stop sayin that crap
Did someone step on your Woke toes?
Backed
Facts
@@guyh3403stfu
Her flow is actually insane
sounds like Valee - Womp Womp, I'm not sayin' she stole it but...
sounds like a portion of "once upon a time freestyle" by idk
sounds like armadillo by balming tiger a little bit
maybe sounds like simbi?
Swaggers over this beat like an absolute boss💯🔥 proper order😎👌
Had this dropped in the 90’s you would’ve heard it blaring out of every passing car.
100% I can’t help feeling that this is vibing straight off gems like the Fugees/Lauren Hill/ A Tribe Called quest etc. love it. Long May she reign!.❤
@@BAGHEAD1995 + Missy Elliott
I most certainly would have been rattling my trunk with this!
Urgh no. People recognised good music in the 90s and this ain't
@@eal1 why ain’t it
Little Simz been the best female rapper out for a while...doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon
Preach! No substance in the liquid trash alleged artists on the radio daily. They don’t want to hear excellence- people are allergic to what’s Righteous!!! Peace!!!
Honestly, you can probably take the word female out and it still holds true.
No need to split into gender, there's very very few people in the new school that have this combination of an ear for beats, complete flow mastery and variety, crazy pen, air-tight pockets, perfect voice for rap...fucking mind-blowing. Even the ad-libs are perfect, the bars that are left unsaid cause she knows the listener can complete the blanks in their heads. It's just pure, unfiltered hip-hop excellence.
Her and Lady Leshur NEVER disappoint!
Sampa the great up there
HER FLOW, HER LYRICS AND THIS BEAT ARE ALL BLOODY INSANE. SIMZ CAME WITH THE HEAT. 10/10 ALBUM. LITERALLY.
what's bloody insane? That she does nothing at all and sings with the same tone through the whole song? She's a perfect example of doing the extreme minimum and demanding everything.
@@giorgosk.6079 She really is awful. Delivery, tone and choice of music is terrible.
@@giorgosk.6079 its an older hip hop style rap and it does sound really good compared to newer rap
What a sick track heard it on the radio , how the hell did I let this escape my ear drums , much love ❤️ mad flow
@@giorgosk.6079 Thank you.
Im astonsihed how many people with Wood ears we found here
“Introvert but she ain’t timid,
My art will be timeless, I don’t do limits.”
Sheeeeeee
Little Simz is the type of artist that I want everyone to know, but I also want her to be my little secret
Yess❤
Same but I still tell everyone who will listen.
Same
Healthy envy 🌠
I'm late to the game on Little Simz, but this track/her material is so refreshing as far as "new school" MC's go. She's doing her own thing while keeping the soul of hip hop alive. Mad respect.
I'm ashamed to say the same. In my 20s the underground was my thing in my 40s not so much anymore. Looking forward to seeing her!
The track is J5. A much better group. Most of her stuff samples actual good stuff so I'd advise checking it out if you think this is good.
@@stevepickford3004 I'm very familiar with Jurassic 5 and the majority of east coast 90s boom-bap
Her, JID, and Kendrick are who I look up to. You express yourself so clearly and beautifully. Love forever.
This so smoothhhhh, This is what we call Riding Music. Simz never disappoints a GEM
The bassline and backing is, but lay the lyrics on something sharper and it becomes pretty rough.
I remember listening to Jurassic 5's "Blacktop beat", which uses the same sample as this song, and feeling frustrated they didn't rap on it. Little simz just made my life a little more complete !

They do rap over it at the end of Concrete Schoolyard. The extended version!

@@loizoin8 thank you I've been desperately searching for where I heard this sample 🙏🙏🙏
I've been out of the hip hop scene for about 15 years. This song singlehandedly brought me back!
Glad to have you back 🙂
Getting some tribe called quest vibes from this beat 🧐😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
J5 BRO!
czcams.com/video/mcFmo_v81IU/video.html jump to 4.40
J5 and Tribe vibes 💯
JS Concrete Schoolyard
Juuuust was sayin this as soon as I heard that first string
Putting a fresh voice to that vintage Busta flow. Laiddddd back quarter note / half note triplet syncopations straight glued to that bassline. I am so late to the party on Little Simz but absolutely stoked about everything I've heard. One of the most exciting rappers I've heard in a minute.
As for folks saying she's one of the best "female" rappers, I say she rhymes circles around most of the run of the mill rap out there these days.
Can't express with words how grateful i am that I existing at the same as you. Your music changed my life, I wish you the very best.
R.I.P. Mac Miller ❤️ still hurts me till this day
"Name one time when I didn’t deliver" - the only reasonable response is "there hasn't been one time" because Simz always brings top notch lyrics and flows. And at this point, based on her five studio albums - from "A Curious Tale..." to "No Thank You" - I certainly regard her as one of the top 25 MCs of all-time.
Keep blessing us with artistic brilliance, young woman!
Rest in peace to Mac Miller 🕊️
This is like some throwback Fugees 'Blunted on Reality' type vibe, can't get enough of this!
This transcends genres and demographics (I'm an old white guy) and this is just simply brilliant, Simbi's flow is seriously the best, lyrics are crazy intelligent and I love this! Rivals Lauryn Hill for me as the best female rapper of all time! Class act and class song, one of her best for me!
Don't forget roxanne shante
Same..not normally my genre .but love Simz
I got Lauren Hill vibes from this too.
At first I thought this was a classic from the golden era that I never heard before. Props Little Simz, your style your flow is on point! Make tons more tracks! PEACE & LOVE!
Queen is back
Heard this a couple of days ago in the car on the way to work and loved it, had to listen to it about 5 times throughout the day. Old school beat, decent lyrics and good flow, the best rap I’ve heard on mainstream radio for a long time.
Simz has such great dexterity. Do giving but so vicious with them rymes. May she reign long.❤💯🔥🔥
Ive been spreading her name whenever peeps talk bout female rappers and hands down she's top teir no matter the gender.
"Red light whenever I'm recording, red light on the forehead of the informant" makes me laugh every time I hear it.
I was playing your album in the car with my mom and we both were crying to Angel. Your wide range of concepts/topics in your songs to your voice, to lyrics, to rhythms and sounds are unmatchable. It was her first time listening to you and she fell in love. After a tough year this album has been a gift blessed to us listeners from you. You are truly gifted, thank you for sharing this MASTERPIECE with us! THANK YOU Little Simz!
I cried too it was so pitiful sounding. Not even road noise
Sim Simma, who got the keys to my bloodclaat Bimmer?
Big time driller

Rest in peace to Mac Miller, new Simz drop to shake the whole shit up
What's next? (Ayy) We'll be here for months talkin' about prospects
Stayin' about my job, yes sir
When rain is against her I'm weather-resistant on my polyester (Grrah, grrah, grrah)
Run through the jungle, they should've never let her
Cut and wounds, I hope never will fester
Mhm, yeah, big art collector, silent investor, film director
Beatin' on my chest goin' apeshit, put him in the grave shit
Fame life what you make it (Yeah, it is)
Cuttin' through the jungle in a all black fitted
Hat low, incognito livin'
Introvert, but, she ain't timid
My art will be timeless, I don't do limits (No)

Basically, the rest is almost like to me what a stain to a vest is

Go find the agony aunt and get ventin'
Stop floodin' my mentions with bullshit
Talkin' on Simz like she's someone you went school with, awkward
From day been a cool kid, rap star hopin', the faith, I'm restorin'
Don't ask my opinion on shit 'cause to make you feel good about yourself is exhaustin'
I got bangers out in the world soarin', and I got bangers in the vault I've been hoardin'
Yeah, true I got tennis in the mornin', before I start swingin' that man's gonna need a warnin'
Red light whenever I'm recordin', red light on the forehead of the informant

Charged up, fully bared up, I'm unleashing

I've just heard this song (and Little Simz) for the first time and am absolutely blown away. Such a fresh sound, just wish i'd discovered her earlier!
Thank you NPR for playing this on the radio this afternoon. New fan.
Banger! The late great Cleveland Eaton on the sampled bass line, he was the bass player for Ramsey Lewis during the Solar Wind album recording when they recorded there version of "Summer Breeze" where that dope double bass sample derives. He also played for the Count Basie Orchestra. One hell of a musican he passed 2 years ago.
This found me when I needed it the most🙏 you will never know how deeply your music helps me❤
Truly love this song, it's my current 24/7 soundtrack! A music video out of it would be sooooooo lovely
Beautiful album. Definitely have it on repeat. It's love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦💕
Great sample from one of the best hip hop songs ever 👌. Lyrics fire 🔥
Just listened to this song and the album this afternoon at my local recordshop. Finally this album is being released on vinyl and cd tomorrow! Brilliant! Best hip-hop record I've heard in a while. Why Little Simz and her music aren't a worldwide hit is a mistery too me! It's inventive, it transcends genres. This is the music you should rub in people's faces who say that modern music is crap! This album is a contemporary classic.
1:55 that beat is🔥🔥🔥🔥
I heard a bit of this on the BBC radio2 but overheard the name. Been looking for you literally the whole night and finally find you. Banger, my utmost respect!
I was at home doing chores, this jam came on. Had to stop and visit this page to show love. Next is the Apple Music store to purchase. Thanks for staying true to hip hop. This is so damn hard! I think hip hop fans are taking a deep breath with this jam. Bars for days. Greetings from Northern California.
The beat, the heat, the flow, look at simz go, wow I’m so impressed, you are different from the rest
Lyrics are on point the track so fits its pure alignment to the max big respect to all who worked on this song 😊
Rest in peace to Mac Miller❤♾
❤️❤️
Just discovered this the other day, amazing:)
This is honestly just perfection, I am so obsessed with this song
Love this woman's vibe! One of a Kind Queen! Lyrics aka your flow on point..Nothing but Love from North America 🤎✊🏾
Bruh she literally kills this from start to finish! I love the smooth chill approach but at the same time just Killin the beat at the same time🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
'I know the streets will love it like I brought Mike Skinner' BARS 🔥🔥🔥
That line made the album for me. Knew it was a perfect album by the second fucking song lol
@@ZEK.0 I have to say it was the same for me lol but have to say, the whole album sounds much alike gkmc in a way.
@@aniiimmense interesting, haven’t thought about it like that, tbh I thought of it more as a DAMN. lol
I remember Mike Skinner. Some ppl called him "the British Eminem".
Love u lady! You are so fly youngin. I’m 49 and freestyle daily to keep my mind shArp and you remind me of me as a young one rhyming with my Brother the Dj now producer and it was what brought us together. Thank you for your expressions of your intelligence on every track. You are full of substance in an industry I once worked in in the 90’s. It’s a wicked business the music industry. I know people hate your brutal honesty. Keep it up. I salute you!!!!👏👏👏👏
1:04 Rest in Peace Mac Miller 🙏
Came across her last night.... prise the lord! She put a massive smile on my face.... absolutely fantastic.... stunning to hear a different style of music ....
This is pure fire. Christmas came early this year.
Proper old school sound. Brilliant work.
As a 55 year old man, I have been through a lot of music on a long long journey. I like Big Mama Thornton to the Anti Nowhere League, but you are absolutely phenominal.
Mercury prize.....now take that, just to close off the year.
I can't spell phenominal, Jack Daniels is out and music spanning 70 years is flowing.
53 and Laphroaig, but yeah.
This album better win a goddam grammy (not that it needs one) but an absolute class above the rest. I am living for this 🥰
This was on the radio while I was driving home, heard "rest in peace to Mac Miller" and that got my attention. When I tell you I fucking jammed to the rest of the song, I.. Fucking.. JAMMED. Love the sound and flow, keep this coming.
Thank the Spotify gods for putting me on. Chick is a straight up pure spitter
Absolutely love it. The clearity ❤️❤️❤️ kinda sound old yet fresh ❤️❤️❤️❤️
the flow on this track is unmatched anywhere in hip hop
Always bangs.. love it ❤
I cannot believe how good this song is. I loved the beat to start and then when it went from bass to strings I ascended.
Cold flow, cold delivery, cold punchlines, cold schemes. Stop sleeping jeeeeeeze.
if only one comment is meant to be read here, it’s this 👏🏽
This is hypnotic beat, good stuff!
Mo fyah! 💥Been a long-time fan...always fresh! 🤩
Thanks for shouting out Mac Miller on this track, this is mad 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This girl is making my 20's so much fun and educational. Logical and full of sense.
And here she is reminding me of when I was in my twenties . Lol, this sounds just like the best that I grew up with . I was lucky to be 20 -24 in the 90’s best era of music ever . Best time of the world when we got away with so much too. The world was so fun then I feel so sad how this world has back tracked into so many rules and people being so god dam sensitive. It like we back tracked in to the 50’s of properness
Bringing back the flow 🫡
the music is the hook which you don’t hear enough these days,
She complements the music so well,
Instant classic! Can’t wait for the freestyles
Little Simz sounding sweet over the old school beats, more please! More jazz,blues tinged all day long.
I heard this on the radio and stg gotta be the best thing played on FM frequencies in the 2020s
The beat mixed with the cadence mixed with the lyrics - wow.
Can't believe the radio are desperate enough to play this.
She never disappoints
jst simz killing it again, she makes it look so easy..
This album is incredible!
On repeat! ❤❤❤
second verse on of the best ones I've heard, love you Simz
The flow is immaculate
you never ever miss, always in a league of your own
gotta admit, it's been helluva ride from Bars Simzson to here
i cant stop listenin these bars that beat the flow 🤯 its a wrap *song of the year lets see what 2024 brings....
*after listening to the rest album of the year 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Dope! That flow, that beat
Genuinely the hardest tune on mainstream I've heard in years!! Properly feeling this tune, the lyrics are sick n the beat gets me bouncing. Makes me have faith that the rap game aint completely gone to shit. Absolutely love the Mike Skinner reference!
"Beatin on my chest going apeshit, putting in the grave shift, aint life what u make it? yh it is"
i am loving this album.
You deserve way mote love ..always blow me away thanku so much love and God bless always x
Fugees/Lauryn Hill vibes.... 🔥🔥🔥
Absolute Fire 🔥 low key flow.
When Jurassic dropped this beat at the end of concrete schoolyard, I always said it should be the main beat. 🔥🔥
What a sick track heard it on the radio , how the hell did I let it escape my ear drums , much love , on fire 🔥 lyrical genius.
Little simz killing it ! Classic beat from too short song, get in where you fit in.. Dangerous crew still blow my mind..
Love her flow!! Propa oldskool vibezzz 💯🔥
This woman is lyrically insane 😩😩😩🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
waagwannn.. bigtime hit never heard of you till rn...salute
Tbh hip hop isn’t my favourite genre of music, but as a DJ I have to listen to, and try all sorts of new music. However, honestly felt I had to come and give this a like and subscribe because it’s a really cool flow. Nice work Little Simz! 👏👏
The beat sounds like a grand adventure
That’s a banger 🥶🔥
Ridiculously good
hear this on the radio a lot
Unbelievable talent, not even trying, quality tune 😇🏴🥳🥳love it 🍾
Mind blown 🤪, this is 💥💥💥
The Goatess 🖤
My favourite track after playing the album for 4 days straight. I thought Little Simz was not going to top Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. Boy was I wrong this album is straight FIRE.
Thank you for remembering Mac miller, I hear his influence in your music ❤
