    This is probably the most underrated song of all time. He wrote it at 20! It speaks to the existential human experience. It hints at the depersonalization disorder Vinnie would desribe struggling through many years later. This song is just brilliant in many ways. The album in general is not the most professionally produced obviously but this song is up there with the greatest JMT songs and the greatest rap songs period!

      too bad he fell for the Worldly counterfit church and mistaken it for the Real Church and in turn doesnt beleive in Jesus, or atleast I dont know Vinnie, but he is Muslim isnt he? yeee fire track for sure, love it.....see to a Christian(who doesnt stand with Majority of the Christians) a true christian, this song other than one or 2 lines is what I relate to, Im a Bag of Dust lol but in a good way, fuck society, forget the ways of the world and leave it behind, this world never was for people like us.

      @@Hellobuffal No I do not suffer from the disorder. I am sorry to hear you do. I do find it fascinating because I have had positive out of body experiences. It is the most difficult disorder for me to wrap my mind around. It seems to have certain overlaps with teachings of Vedanta/Yoga but unfortunately the disorder causes lots of mental pain.

      You butchered the quote, since you've clearly never actually read Aristotle's works. The exact quote Vinnie pulled his line from is
      *"Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is a wild beast or a God."*
      Which summarized just implies that absolute solitude from any outside interaction will either bring you to Godhood or reduce you to a monster void of humanity. The latter is more often the case since most men cannot go without social interactions and succumbing to desires of the flesh. It's almost impossible to abstain from humanity when you yourself are a fragment of it. But few can rise above it, while most will destroy themselves trying. Sometimes it's safer to just accept it and submit to the fact you're just a man. Never becoming much, but never losing what you already have.

    I once met Vinnie and got to hang out with him backstage. I was so stoked to meet him. One of the only hip hop artists I truly liked and admired since I'm super picky and they have to have a certain sound for me to really dig them. My buddy was a promoter for them so I got to just spend all night chillin with him. One of the coolest dudes ever. I told him I'm not really into hip hop, and that I really only like unique shit and I'm more of a rock guy. But told him that I really liked him and Army of the Pharoahs which is true to this day... Vinnie goes "yea I ain't much into rap either, more of a metal guy myself". We hit it off immediately and it was a great night to remember I'll never forget that shit.

      Beats today r better than ever but hip hop was at it's best early 90s late 80s. Was still pure in its artform but was mainstream enough to have so much talent
      Back then people who couldn't rap didn't try to rap.
