"I got transcontinental indigenous divas
that speak multiple languages for unspeakable reasons" - goosebumps...if you know you know.
Yes...
Here in 2023! This song still hits! Just want to let everyone know that all of our trials and tribulations are for our good and growth. I’m Still standing I’m still here!
This is the American Descendants of Slavery Anthem!!!!! 👌💎👑
One of the Most Underrated lyricist of my generation!! Pure DOPE! This track is FIRE!
it is his flow 💯n the beat gives me chills😥🔥🔥💯👍
Babygirl I feel you, that beat is so Dope! Jill's vocals are special
...and honey is beautiful, my goodness!!!
Pharaoh gets his praise... A lot of rappers name him as their favorite, but really all in all they’re inspired by Kool G Rap.
Lyrically scary.. honestly pharoahe is an absolute monster the way he bends words and his technical ability
All the way from South Africa, I love Pharoah Monch. The best,I am still standing
Where from s.a ?
@@ontariostreets4470 I'm From Vaal
This is what a real MC sounds like! do your thing bro.
Word, 1 of my top 7!! Mos Def!
Word up!
Pharoahe is not going to be appreciated until he's gone. Dude is a monster on the mic!
I thank God, I am still here! and I am grateful!
"But I gotta keep a few punch lines just in case 'cause even you unsigned rappers are hungry, looking at me like it's lunchtime, I know there was a time when once I was king of the underground, but I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind" - eminem
I bet youre proud monch.
A GOAT like Monch ain't worried about a gimmick white boy
till this day this song does something to my soul. tears
Same!!!🧘🏽♀️
This should be the worldwide Asthma Anthem, i relate to everything Pharaohe says on this song. Having suffered as an asthma kid through out my childhood till almost 15. This song is powerfull when i remember all i went though , trips to the hospital at midnight on mommas back (from a 3rd world where healthcare is a challenge), hospitalised for days. Now am standing a grownup adult and Asthma is behind me. Still when i hear this song, it makes me appreciate my moms everyday.
Great job getting through it my brother, you're mother's an absolute star
Thanks brother
Music always helps us.
👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
I hear your Story. Aswell as that, this Song is absolutely beautiful, amazing and Heavenly.
Just heard this song 20 times in a row and ordered a Pharoahe Monch poster... hahah
When I saw him live for the first time, he had an asthma attack on stage. He got Boogie Blind to entertain us for 5 minutes then came back out and destroyed the mic for another half hour. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to
One of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite artists and today, it literally made me burst into tears. Here's to all of you reading this. To Mr. Troy Donald Jamerson and everyone involved in this masterpiece. For everyone in the struggle, 2020, the movements across the globe. I love you and keep STANDING
I relate to this song so much, and it makes me burst into appreciative tears every time. For me, it's chest pains instead of asthma, and still standing after me and brother losing our parents when I was 8 and him 6 , and im so proud to say we are still standing real proud 🤠😎💯👊🏾
@@PerpetualFormula ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾❤️
I agree fully brother
MAKES U WANNA BEAST UP AFTER HEARING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. APPRECIATE THIS DUDE NOW BEFORE HE'S GONE.... HE'LL DEFINITELY BE MISSED.
Put this song on repeat and shut the world out.

A powerful song, almost brings you to tears thinking about all that you made it through, n yet your still standing. I thank my God
This one def moved my soul. Pharoahe been slept on forever. Can't believe this didn't get airplay over the garbage we get force fed on a daily. I'm glad the real hip hop heads know whats up tho !!!
I been on Pharoahe all day!! I can't stop listening to him. I'm addicted.
I love this song..I can relate so much because when I was going through the BS and hell I was going through, thanks to family, friends and knowledge, I made it out. Now I am focused on being a better person and this is a testament to rising above and standing strong...Thank you Pharoahe for putting together this amazing song and helping brothas like me.
For all my people still standing stay strong 💪
Dope azz track! Pharoahe took em' to church on this one.
This is too much for ordinary radio and Tv's... We're still standing for the REAL HIP HOP
great song. It is so sad that 106 and park won't play these types of videos. Instead they play young money videos all day. The song has a very powerful message. Conscious hip hop is the best form of hip hop. Conscious hip hop can help the world. This song needs to be on tv.
One of Hip-Hop's unsung heroes...love this brother for what he stands for, and the music that he makes; and, I am definitely pleased to see him "Still Standing", no doubt...
I really dig Pharaohe, his raps are just on another lane...
This is Music!!!
Goose bumps when I hear this song
Classic lyrical hip-hop. Pharoahe Monch is and has always been a master lyricist.
classic hip hop! people say it's dead but those people just don't know where to look!
How can a song of this caliber ...
and with one of the createst lyricist ever
only have below 200 k views.
This is da realest ever....
peace
This song is powerful. It has soo much movement,dang. Needs to be a National Anthem.
An absolute masterpiece even in 2023. The production is top-notch, the rap lyrics are sharp and on point, and the hook ties it all together. Then Jill bodies it at the end. Incredibly well-put-together track. No cursing, no gangsters, no twerking or thot behavior. Timeless!!!
And because it deals with real things and not a comic book version of reality that's why people like this will never be huge. Except to those who know where to look and hear things worth hearing and not foolishness meant to tease and please superficially. There's a whole history of music crammed in here.
@@jharekcarnelian Facts! Great points
Timeless Music... I feel this every time I listen to it.
Pharoahe Monch Yo!!!
These type of jams has true meanings when it comes to real life. So glad that this tune came out. You won't find it on those other nonsense that is mainstream garbage.
I agree, sending positive vibes your way
HIS WRITING IS CINEMATIC. GIVES INDEPTH VISUALS....VIVID.
Can't believe this the views this song gathered 😢, let alone the years...
We the real listers keep things relevant, clearly
respect always to pharoahe monch ! since cuba [ my country ] always being a big fan of him ! saw him live in 2007's coachella , what a moment for me ! never forget ..saw him again in miami hip hop fest , front row standing , around 3 pm , he played like a champ ..much love and respect to him !
I swear Jill Scott is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes 👀 on she just glows always
possibly the most beautiful, most powerful, most inspirational hip hop song ever made..Pharoahe Monch i salute you...
This guy is incredible!!!! He one of my favorite emcees of all time!!
underrated on all levels.. a damn shame
Great concept, song, and performances!!! Magnificent!!! Real heads know!!!
I'm so blessed to live in a time where Pharoahe Monch and Chino XL exist
Myself bipolar1 coming across Monch, helps me get thru the day. And Locksmith too...the best hiphip is out there yet ppl still falling for ''hiphock'' I think Rev Valentine called it and that's all that mainstream is...so much respect bc whether mental illness or physical drug induced illness I've been there so hearing it come out knowing I'm not alone, I'm still standing at the end of another day.
You have no idea how much i need to hear that right now. Affirmation music for sure. I was ready to give up, but I know I still got fight left in me. This joint dug deep and gave me the boost I needed. The difference btw an entertainer and an artist is the artist understands how to responsibly use their gift.
Stand strong, stand firm brother! There will be many battles, do not be afraid of the pain. The pain will make you relish your many victories to come. We are forged in fire, we don't burn.
Music isn't sports where you have a short period of time to be good. As long as you have air in your lungs and brain function you'll always be musical... Stay blessed
Well said!
This speaks my truth. I'M STILL STANDING
I graduated college 2 months ago and had too many people wishing me to fail throughout my studies. This song reminded me that nothing stands in my way as long as I "still standing." Pharoahe Monch, you are the reason many people don't give in to corruption. If that wasn't the case, I would've have been standing today. You truly are an inspiration. Thank you.
Young brother 🙏 I understand first hand exactly what you are saying. Congratulations to you. Press on young brother. Press on.

This song got me through my darkest times...I'M STILL STANDING
THIS IS MY PERSONAL SONG ANTHEM! EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT PUMPS ME UP! IT IS HELP ME TO GET THROUGH THE SHIT I AM GOING THROUGH! HOLD TO MY FAITH AND YES, I AM STILL STANDING!
Whether you’re religious, a believer or neither; we all can relate to the fall and rise. A truly powerful and tear jerking song. Props to Monch for touching our souls.
One the greatest and inspiring tracks of all time!!
Pharoahe gave a ton of great info on emceeing in the books he took part in making, called *HOW TO RAP* + *HOW TO RAP 2*.
One of the things he said in them was this-
"With certain songs, it’s better if you punch in, depending
on how you write the record. It could be a song where you
literally scream the first line and then cry the second line and
whisper the third line, and so on and so forth, and just to
get the proper inflection on those pieces, you might want to
retake some things - just like a film, like, “Cut! Let’s do this
crying part all over again.”"
Where is this book per say?
i need to read these books
BRILLIANT. always love when different art mediums share format and structure
Who could NOT like this track??? *head nod factor on 10*
Im still here.. Im still standing...
This song got me through the most challenging part of my life thus far... It was my call to arms every morning... 🙏🏾♥️
Fam was spittin maayn fa reel!!...HIP-HOP PERFECTION!!
Sing It Jill!!!!!!!
This song gives me the onion eyes. So much power in the lyrics.
The only way music like this will reach the masses is if WE fans of real music help get it out there.
They will not bury us like they bury our real music.
SIIIIICK! One of my favourite memories is driving back from a house-party celebrating the birth of a friend's son. The sun was just coming up as we drove through the city listening to this album. It was the first time my friend heard this song and when she heard Jill's part she had tears in her eyes. This is what music can do.
Lyrics, the harmonies. the screenplay, the concept, everything about this brought me tears!!!! Hard ass song. Great for the times
The Track Is So Emotional Driven.... It Makes You Want To Run, Fight, Scream And Cry All At The Same DAMN TIME!!
Dope ass lyrics ❤️
See how real hip hop pops out? You fall in love with this from the first few secs.
This shit still slamming to this day after 9 years!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Monch's music is intemporel
Fell through the rabbit whole and ended up here.This is powerful. Much success to this artist.
