I'm from Toledo. 6 years younger than Lyfe. When this man dropped "Must Be Nice" it took our whole city over. It was in every car bumpin, every porch, backyard bbq, every house in the jects and the suburbs as well. Total city lockdown. I remember this shooting and police chase. We had alot of pride in him being our cities only chance to be put on the map. And he did just that. Big ups for Lyfe Jennings. He's proof we all carry demons and even when they take control momentarily we can defeat them.
Lyfe had my 60+ year old dad singing his songs. He said that Must Be Nice reminded him of how lucky he was to have my mom and I in his life as he was a former “street hustler” who could sing
Same here!!! Except the song was 26 years, 17 days. I'd never seen that much emotion from him ever. He explained that he was facing life and A Judge spoke up for him and gave him a chance along with work at the Judge's Ranch. I never knew. My dad had never heard him. Dad died shortly after. Meaningful moment while trying to connect with a dying man who abandoned me. I'll never forget that. Thankful for the memory.😢😢 RIP Big Mac❤❤
I was doing time when this brother came out. He was a great motivation and inspiration and I was proud when his video "Must Be Nice" came out. Never let doing time stop you from becoming someone amazing.
I paroled Dec 9th 2005 .. pretty soon after Must Be Nice dropped and we had BET in Pelican Bay n I was hooked. The first CD I owned was his first CD and it spoke to my life. Then his second CD was a relevant soundtrack to where my life was at that time. Got to kick it w/ him a bit after his show in SF one year. Your last line is spot on. I never went back
That’s crazy, I bought his first album randomly at the record store when it first dropped. I had never heard of him but I liked the album cover (that’s how I did it back then) and I immediately knew he was different, he wasn’t like the rest of these musicians, he was speaking to the soul in a way I had never heard.
Love his music and sound. Don't recall knowing his life before music. Seeing his story lets me understand why there is so much emotion in word, song. Super talented and hope independently he could release music since the label never pushed him the way he deserves. But those with little to no talent is pushed to the top of the charts and radio
The video is truly amazingt Lyfe if you see this I am truly proud of you and I know you say why because you didn't give up I'm literally crying cause you made it through God Bless you and keep you angels around I just know..
10:08 😂😂😂 soon as he said “i had that 2pac playing” ……. I knew exactly what time it was!!! Man PAC music mixed with some liquor will have you ready to take on the whole police force 😂😂
I Love everything about Lyfe Jennings music. The Key to his music and sound is, It’s Original and his vibe, sound and style is so unique. Where is Life now? Missing him but I still Rock his music and pray that he’s okay. 🙌🏾👏🏾✌🏾
When it’s about ur kids. Hell anybody is liable to do anything. Not justifying his actions. I’m just speaking facts. I too have been there and failed to make rational decisions when it came to my son. So I can relate but to God be the glory that he learned his lesson and was still able to live somewhat of a productive life and make great music.
My mom did daycare for years for the grandkids of the lady that died in that fire. Her daughter really had a hard time after her mom was killed. Honestly that's why I stopped listening to hs music because I was under the impression that he had a real hand in the killing.
Jesus… got the chills from this documentary. Job Well done brother for capturing the Life of Lyfe. Something I noticed his inmate number mounted up to “11” . That said it all to me. Somewhere in the Journey he didn’t listen to God though. He had a ministry in Him. The industry was not where he was supposed to be land. We know what they do. At some point he tried to get out… that led him to the situation with his children’s mothers. That’s what the industry does. What solidified & confirmed that was what the Attorney said. When he spoke down about him like that, I heard the devil through him. At some point he reconciled his contract with the industry. Anywho , so much revelation. But all in all he His Ministry deepened from all his experience. He needs to tell it and not stay quiet If you know you know. God Bless ❤
Wait till you hear about the Yolanda lala Brown story.... We went to school together she became a singer and song on Life song s e x and then he brought her on to her they got into a beef she threatened to tell his wife about what they have been doing he kicked her off the tour sent her back here to Milwaukee and somebody came in the studio shortly after and killed her and her boyfriend Kool-Aid who was also her music producer
Lyfe 268-192 was the BEST 🔥🔥🔥album #1 in both 04-05! I must have purchased 5 CD's back then. I was loving to see the dudes from the block on the street corners blasting it in their cars. #GreatMusic.
The first time I saw Lyfe perform he was on show time at the Apollo. I remember thinking if this man don’t get a record deal then these ppl don’t know real music.
LYFE WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF FAVORS I STILL LISTEN TO HIM NOW AND I GO TO EVERY CONCERT RIGHT NOW KEEP YOUR HEAD UP LYFE WE ALL HAVE A PASS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm a Toledo native and was in college at an HBCU in North Carolina when he performed on Showtime at the Apollo. I remember that night in my dorm room when one of my friends became an instant fan calling me up asking me if I was watching that program and who was this guy from my city...
I don't care, Lyfe Jennings is a soulful brother. I still listen to him today ❤.. Gemini mindset. My Gemini son turned me on to him. I'm a Gemini & so is his Daddy 😂.

I met him at an event in a DC night club H20 when Big Tigger did the HIV fundraisers. I even bought him a beer that night. We talked briefly but he was a gentleman, I felt like he was cool.

That line was deep. Thanks for watching
I remember him on Apollo and I was a fan immediately, I purchased all of his CD’s I love his raw vocals and his messages in his songs.
Indeed! That S.E.X song is severely underrated. He was spitting straight facts.
I was doing time when this brother came out. He was a great motivation and inspiration and I was proud when his video "Must Be Nice" came out. Never let doing time stop you from becoming someone amazing.

If you saw him on Apollo you instantly knew he would be signed in the very near future.
That’s crazy, I bought his first album randomly at the record store when it first dropped. I had never heard of him but I liked the album cover (that’s how I did it back then) and I immediately knew he was different, he wasn’t like the rest of these musicians, he was speaking to the soul in a way I had never heard.
He definitely had a different sound and message. Thanks for watching

Never got into the "struggle music" scene but I remember he had a real story of redemption and change. I guess our ghosts can haunt us for life.
