    This song came out when I was 10 and this song literally kept me away from drugs and the streets. This was a powerful song in the early 90s.

      Easily one of my top 10 hip hop songs as well. And with Bill, just the way he says “goddam homie…my mind’s playing tricks on me”, has so much emotion and self reflection.

    In addition to Isaac Hayes' South Park role, he scored the music for the 1971 movie "Shaft" and received an Academy Award for the iconic theme song, fittingly called "Theme From Shaft". As heard here, too, the man sure knew how to write a slick, funky groove.

    Excellent review (thanks to the guy in the middle) of one of my favorite songs of all time. And the only hip hop song my now 75 year old dad ever admitted to liking. But yeah the guy in the middle would probably be better served without the other guys - especially without the white guy on the left that didn't like the song. Still an excellent reaction and a like and a subscribe thanks to the insight of the guy in the middle. Keep it up.

    You might've heard this song because of Kodak Black he reused the beat. You guys should react to another Houston Legend Zro, he has over 20 albums recorded. React to Zro Life is a Battlefield, Mo City Don (Freestyle not written), Tired ft Mya, and Smokers Anthem
