      Lyrically, i rate him above Biggie or Jay Z or any other. The only ones on his level for depth are 2pac, Nas, Ice Cube, Chuck D amongst the more well known. He was too dangerous for mainstream and never sold out.

      This song often does make me cry brah. Reminds me of some of the best times of my life when this tune was playing and the memories of the lads who were there that aren't anymore (I fucking miss my boys so much), also takes you back to the period when hip hop like this was a gold standard. It's a hella nostalgic melody/sample. Just transports you back to a better time.

      Wait, what? U outta ur mind? Watch out, man, or FBI's comin' to getcha, if ya keep pretending any former, actual or future existence of something funny called "cuntshoos" rap. Ts. Ridiculous.
      Everybody knows that Hip Hop had always been the upper-class satirical art form of trying to express the whole elitist philosophy of egotism, suppression, torture, pest, FIAT-pseudo-money and death through questionable, nonconsecutive lyrics via bad rhymes about money, ego, cash, battle raps (ego), $, fornication, murder accessories, $$, awkward, often down-low female characters, vehicles, dough, psychoactive excess, living miserable lives while glorifying that cesspool, $$$, viciousness, garbage, sociopathic pranks, lucrative kills valuing 3 - 4 cheeseburgers (inflation!) and other premium signs of some good life of the inbred-laden top-1%, responsible for today's peaceful, smooth, laid-back kinda atmosphere all over the entire globe!
      Luckily, we don't have to face situations, where some pesky lench mob is misdirected into believing, that your bought & paid for regime (daily & faithfully brown-nosed by their self-owned pseudo-press like a good, commendable medieval troubadour), which orchestrated and/or failed to thwart every single crisis, happening over the last 20 years, is acting in good faith for your nation's benefit! Implemented "shock doctrine" (Naomi Klein) in 2001 seems to have finally & completely vanished, methinks...
      Ask your local StasiNazi ministry of truth! They know 4 sure!
      Conscious rap -- sounds like some bizarre oxymoron, like..grass meat furniture, or deathly living, or water sun, or straight loony phantasms like some functioning representative demockracee, participation, dignity or, damn, whatshisname, ah yeah: friehdumb and similar stuff...conspiracy theories, multiplied by weak, unthankful slaves, forgetting about their proper place in luxurious pigpens behind the backyard, IMHO...

I'm 45 now but when this dropped my BigBroski Mont played HS basketball for the Mifflin Punchers.. his buddy Damien who also played on the team would come stay the night 9/10x after Varsity games and me my ma bro and step pops would order pizza. Fun ass times he would even stay up when my bro passed out playing "Super Mario Bros" 🤣 man what fun times that dude just didn't know how much i appreciated that shit! Paris was so underrated imo..

      COLINNNNNN!!!
      You're speaking to my soul💯💯💯
      I'm 46, and although I'm sure most ppl probably feel that their childhood was the best, you and I truly DID come up during one of the greatest times...
      It's a little sad to me, that if I even attempted to try and explain all the things that MADE it so special to a kid growing up today, they literally wouldn't just not be ABLE to be able to process the issues and subjects I'd speak about--they wouldn't CARE.
      I hope one day, the circular nature of life, brings hip hop back to where it was in the 90s...
      It might not have been perfect, but at least it felt like we were TRYING to figure it all out, as we went!
      (You and I are now "old heads" it seems)
      Had to take a second to say #SALUTE to your comment...
      Made my entire day💯👊💯

Young rappers need to study this, as well as many many real hip-hop pioneers from mid 80's thru early 2000's. Before the rap artform turned to commercial, contentless Bullshit
