I’ll never forget years ago sitting in rehab with my man Harvey from Wilmington DE..we sung this hook and recited styles verse all day it helped get us through ..oh yeah today I’m sober ..cuz MY LIFE is all I have..
Felt that. Using this song for my young men's group as a discussion point. I want them to start thinking about their life and their story. This song is powerful. Congrats and blessings for getting sober. May God keep you.
Hey say what you want about him now but this was 2002 Kanye when he was putting out some of the best music and "Just to get by" produced by Kanye and sung by Talib Kweli was an awesome song..
Pharoah should never be censored. His singing is so beautiful. I never knew he could sing. This song is my life. At 37 with kidney failure. Needing a donor. Looking for one is such a pain.
2002-2003. Man, this album came out right after my mother died. A Gangsta and A Gentleman. To me his album was one of the greatest ever. He kept it real every track, My good friend was really into underground rap, always talking about Sheek, Jada, and Styles..Styles P, truly a great. Thanks for the song. Got me through some hard times.
This song should have wayyyyyyyyyy more views, the fact that it doesn’t just shows how much ppl don’t know about real hip hop . This is as real as it gets.
Idk how many black people outright own the Labels. They put out what they want if we owned em more Songs like this would thrive we should and hopefully will own Labels outright frfr.
2023....STILL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!! SALUTE to Styles P aka Pinero the Ghost, aka Holiday Styles!! He, along with Pharoahe Monch are 2 of my ALL TIME FAVORITE LYRICISTS!!! #BARZ
I was at Ground Zero for 4 weeks when I was in the Army National Guard I heard this track on the FM Radio, It relaxed my nerves after seeing so many bodies that jump out the windows of the Twin Towers.
This beat and hook popped in my head randomly just now. So I looked it up and commented. 🤣 if you listening to this right now you know good hip hop music! 🫡
2:42 DAMN Envy looks young there. This song is so familiar and feels like yesterday it dropped. But it was YEARS ago. I've never moved on from this era lol
This is soul touching music. If you can't feel this then you won't feel any song....EVER! One of the best tracks ever made.....clearly...no debating! Stays in heavy rotation...

Iyatolla on the beat... Rawkus was a short lived DOPE label.
This is one of the hardest songs I ever heard. I’m mad it never got that much play.
Classic Rap song and video by Styles P-(of The LOX Rap Group) and Pharoahe. For real. Yes.
Pharoahe kicked the sh*t outta this hook. Ghost murdered the track
Blaklex Jenkins in other words they soundly bombed the joint in true hiphop fashion! 😎
Blaklex Jenkins the sky is blue. Money is green. That's all these guy do is kill their tracks
Yessssssss🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Alright so this what dope sounds like
After this i dont know how Pharoahe wasnt sought out to do more hooks for big artists. This hook really illuminated this record. Period!!
NaTe dog status
100%

He also had shut the fuck up which was a huge banger back then
Salute By slaughterhouse was dope
This used to get heavy rotation on BET n ESPN bk in the dayz...classic shit

What we miss is the creativity of young brothas who made up their minds to tell their truth.
I was at Ground Zero for 4 weeks when I was in the Army National Guard I heard this track on the FM Radio, It relaxed my nerves after seeing so many bodies that jump out the windows of the Twin Towers.
Weird how a song puts you back where u were. Just listened & not sure to smile or cry. Ya know?

Hip hop was something else, miss the originality it had. Glad I was around when it was at its best
