"like a diary in the attic had it been Frank like an Anatomical Analysis..." i love it when i listen to a song again and find something new about it. shing02 is genius.
I'm probably not the first person to notice that. Norman Connors is before my time but I grew up around music like that, listening to my dad play records, that sort of thing... LOL!
Aww, daaaang... this lad rocks tha boat that was platformed for primo American and best known international rappers/ Hip Hop smoothers. Shingo2 's totally in the killzone. Intelligent and so flow maximum! MIDITATE!
I know that in the Hip-Hop culture race don't matter, but real talk when I 1st herd his voice, I thought he was black. Dude can rap better than these gangsta rappers. Thumbs up and much love 2 these dude.
@martirino Shing's kinda weird scenario, he was born in japan, but grew up all over the place. he is like a rapper of the world. :) maybe thats why he is so piercing
yo... it's amazing how his first language isn't even english yet his flow is Dumb and what he raps about will be deeper than anything any american(ized) rapper could ever even dream about spittin. shing02... i just wanna have a conversation with this dude, damn
Maybe I worded it wrong. I meant it was sampled from a Norman Connors song called You are my Starship. I just assumed Nujabes had something to do with the track since him and Shing02 did some work together. Hope that makes sense. My bad.
haha miditation as in MIDI audio files. GENIUS Shing02 always has insightful, intelligent lyrics. What a pleasure to listen too. F*ck rap. Hip hop ftw.
Sadly, at one point I used to think I hated hip-hop. Then I discovered, Nomak, Nujabes, Shing02, Emancipator, Force Of Nature, Tsutchie, Fat Jon ETC. There is so much good stuff out there, and oddly enough tons comes from Japan. This is real hip-hop, not that garbage like half dollar or M & M lol
all i've been listening to is j cole, nujabes and shing 02.. funny i see talk of j cole on shing02 shit. all good hip hop. anyone here has probably heard everything nujabes has done but if you haven't you should quickkkly
There are still rappers holdin it down like the old kats. Look up J.Cole. I like Shing02 but his english rap is ok. I like his flow in japanese better.
Because your not listening to rap of the 90s. The new artists like lil wayne, young dro, all suck. Go listen to Wu Tang, DMX, Nas, Common, Immortal Tech etc etc.
"like a diary in the attic had it been Frank like an Anatomical Analysis..."
i love it when i listen to a song again and find something new about it. shing02 is genius.
Probably one of the greatest songs ever written
Damn this song takes me back to the high school days'07 lol still bumpin Shing02 in 2012!
So underrated! This needs more recognition!
I can't believe it... Shing02 is 2pac's japanese edition (or reincarnation?)
What a fantastic guy! Maximal Respect!!!!
I'm probably not the first person to notice that. Norman Connors is before my time but I grew up around music like that, listening to my dad play records, that sort of thing... LOL!
q buen instrumental y los scratches bastante buenos,mucha admiracion..........
Still the shit after all these years
Who're you calling "shit"!?
...Oh. Nevermind.
Every thing about this song is JUST. .......AAMMAZZZING!!!!
Aww, daaaang... this lad rocks tha boat that was platformed for primo American and best known international rappers/ Hip Hop smoothers. Shingo2 's totally in the killzone. Intelligent and so flow maximum!
MIDITATE!
Wow........this song is worth a million words
LOL I was about to post that in the comments. Ah well, props to ya. Nice sample catch! :)
I need to buy all his albums.
Dang, they need to make more songs like this one.
Young Eminem's vibe. You are a goat Shingo !
I know that in the Hip-Hop culture race don't matter, but real talk when I 1st herd his voice, I thought he was black. Dude can rap better than these gangsta rappers. Thumbs up and much love 2 these dude.
Shing02 is tragically slept on.
@martirino Shing's kinda weird scenario, he was born in japan, but grew up all over the place. he is like a rapper of the world. :) maybe thats why he is so piercing
ONE PROBLEM DOWNLOADING SHING02's MUSIC!
It is in Japan and maybe in Oakland/LA.
"music is my faith, it's my way of calling God's name without knowing his or her face."
love that line
Love that mash up of Shinski and Rakim.
wow. I love the norman connors sample. Mobb Deep used the same song for Trife Life. But this song is amazing
ELOQUENTLYHIPHOP PRODUCTION SUPPORTING SHING02!!
Man, this cat is so smooth.
"on the tape demonstrate strapped with a hot beat 'cause the prince of peace goes to war with heat to restore order..." man i thought that was sweet.
this song is sickkkk :]!! thanks for the post and link in the description!
I guess it's a play on word, a combination of "meditation" and "midi", as in the file type popularly used in the music community.
Straight meditate meditate meditate!!!!
Sick PART YO...
BTW thank you for the lyrical videos :) Great work!
yo... it's amazing how his first language isn't even english yet his flow is Dumb and what he raps about will be deeper than anything any american(ized) rapper could ever even dream about spittin. shing02... i just wanna have a conversation with this dude, damn
Yo this beat sounds so familiar to one on Guru's Nobody Knows, at I least I think it does
Goddamn. Those are some tight lyrics.
2022!! I came back after 12 years!
I have DMX and Nas already so I know what you mean there, but I'll have to look up Common, and Immortal Tech. Thanks for the suggestions
Maybe I worded it wrong. I meant it was sampled from a Norman Connors song called You are my Starship. I just assumed Nujabes had something to do with the track since him and Shing02 did some work together. Hope that makes sense. My bad.
This shit... Is fantastic... Why can't all rap make this much sense T-T?!? WHY!!?!?!?
Wow. Love at first note.
haha miditation as in MIDI audio files. GENIUS
Shing02 always has insightful, intelligent lyrics. What a pleasure to listen too. F*ck rap. Hip hop ftw.

This might be my favorite beat.
+IllMaison here a couple years later to listen to this beautiful song

Banging', mad props to shing02!
Check out Atma and Lost Children of Babylon for more Reincarnated hiphop.
Iam a would-be hip hop artist and not every line in the lyrics has to rhyme and flow is when u keep going with the beat without stopping right?

RegicideKo9 when u try to heal ur soul and find peace
the last verse is ill
no doubt about it
-caz ny
@martirino u know it bro these artist are drenched in wisdom ^^ we can learn alot from them
mEditation?
Who said Nujabes made the beat?
I just realized this was a Norman Connors sample: You are my Starship
Nujabes knew good music when he heard it.
all i've been listening to is j cole, nujabes and shing 02.. funny i see talk of j cole on shing02 shit. all good hip hop. anyone here has probably heard everything nujabes has done but if you haven't you should quickkkly
nahh its spelled right the tracks really titled miditation
aha, damn i love his flow.
lol ya think? he is btw
shing is the boss
yea it took a lil bit to figure wat it was lol
midies is a strain of weed
comment time capsule
I just noticed too.
M usical
I nstrument
D ivine
I nterface
Who said Soulja Boy could rap? One verse from Shing kills his whole career.
There are still rappers holdin it down like the old kats. Look up J.Cole.
I like Shing02 but his english rap is ok. I like his flow in japanese better.
im saying it's not that im just saying it's also that. also why would you stereotype your own race
thats not even that long lol
You spelt the name of the song wrong. It's 'Meditation', not 'Miditation'.
Jokes lol
Because your not listening to rap of the 90s.
The new artists like lil wayne, young dro, all suck. Go listen to Wu Tang, DMX, Nas, Common, Immortal Tech etc etc.
what album is this off of?
