"Mac maintain just grind dog better yaself." This brings me to tears bcuz I been dealing with self doubt all my life,but fck that. I left my shitty marriage, got a job and started my business. This song helped me. Thanks Beans😭😭😭✊🏾💙✊🏾💙✊🏾💙✊🏾💙✊🏾
This song is so under rated! Been listening since I was 19 I'm 35 now! My Bestie turned me onto this song back in the day and it still goes just as hard!
Fun Fact: Beans & I exchanged a few letters many yrs ago when he was serving on that Fed case in Jersey (right when "Feel it in the Air" was released). I told him this was my favorite song of his, he said it was his favorite too. He coulda just been tryna gas me up, I don't see any reason for him to lie to a random fan tho.
The Kanye we miss. The track is dope fire! Dwight is preaching here! What a time to be alive, man. Memories of my CD in my detachable Pioneer in my Ford Crown Vic…..
Back when Kanye had something to prove!! And shout out to Mack for making this already beautiful beat into something even more special!! This beat isn't for just any mc. And Mack showed his ass on this one!! Damn these days are long gone!!! Got Damn!!! There is Nothing Like It
SPIT WORDS THAT SKIP THRU AIR, LET THE WORDS OF A TRUE THUG HIT YA EAR, CHANGE COLORS LIKE BLUE BLOOD WHEN IT HIT THE AIR. NOTHING LIKE IT I SWEAR.... BARS NIGGAZ
This is the last of the good real heart touching hip hop songs of that era..real hip hop...it ain't over tho.all us older mature rappers that really bout that life.and hip hop and back baby..game over
I got 1 year old son and this specific line gets me thinking man, like no man wants his child committing the same mistakes. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
... Can't explain it when I pick up my son and look at my face." My son was a baby when this dropped. And I felt this line. This why this my favorite song from Beans.
I'm like the sun shining at night, imagine that dawg.. See I know y'all wanna see me gradually fall. But I'm walking on air, breaking every gravity law! #TheresNothingLikeItISwear
Beanie Sigel comes clutch on tracks with beats that are absolute fire like Kanye cooked up here. The better the beat, the better Beanie spits, a classic
sauliiito1 I grew up knowing this song. I searched for this song and somebody named jcole came up. I don't even know who he is. THIS ORIGINAL SONG should have 1+ million views. not hating on the boah. but man it's a shame. beanie sigel is a Philly legend.
One of my all time favorite tracks, not just from Sigel, but Hip-Hop as a whole. This really speaks volumes as to his lyrical ability of connecting with the audience; something the artists of today clearly lack
Beans peaked when recording this track. Inspires the hell out of me. Wish more tracks did this in hip hop. When you listen to it you can tell he felt lived every syllable.
The production and lyricism on this track is the HARDEST shit to EVER come outta Philly! Better than Meek Mill or any other bullshit out today hands down. This is not up for debate!
I know its a person's opinion... But the 13 ppl who dislike this track... I am saying this respectfully, what the fuck is your problem!!!!!!!!!!!!! This shit go hard.
Beard Gang they lying like fuck , if they didn't like it they wouldn't had sit thru the whole song n they damn sure wouldn't have had the time to hit that dislike button
Sleep on Kanye but he was the best producer during my middle school years. This shit was just too amazing at the time. "I'm like a black rose growing in the concrete cracking the pavement."
Still my favorite song till this day....I know Beans is a shadow of himself nowadays, but nothing and I mean nothing can take away from his classics especially this one...Used to play this every morning driving to high school in 01.....ahhhh the memories
Kanye was giving you legendary beats on this album. Sigel was on his game with album. Pure Art. Wish they had put out a video for this song. Beautiful combination Sigel and. Kanye
This shit go so hard. I might call it his best track. Shit always spoke to me and Kayne out did himself with that beat. Bumped it ‘01 and still bump it in ‘17.
beans killed this shit so effortlessly , i remember when i first heard this i fuckin got shivers down my spine when beat dropped, perfect lyrics over a dope ass beat HIPHOP IS MISDING THIS!
pearl wpeace a d blessing gs to Kelly claxton the only woman who would let me pick her up h,banging this. if I tried to be respectful at her job a d have the music down.when. picking g her up. up ffrom work she would grab my rent take slow g wig and say turn it up moe. yrs melm there was nothing like you. I miss yolike you. I miss you Kelly
When you hear that Soul sample... Ye' always been that dude on the boards. SMH, After his Mom's passed he got Hollywood.. You hear that South Side influence all over this...
vmm12 y'all acting like this is something new rza been doing this Kanye even said his influence on beat making came from the Abbot hard beat nevertheless but don't sit here and act like y'all don't know
@@freddycalipari4242 Kanye west is from the south side of Chicago and as far as Ezra influence him it has nothing to do with the fact that Kanye the man kill this beat beans influence growing up was big daddy Kane but that don’t have shit to do with this song does it now
Those old soulful Kanye beats. NOTHING LIKE IT 🔥
Old Kanye production makes you cry.
S ur hot
You not lying smh from 2000 to 2007 was pure primo from Kanye.
Corrado Junior what a name. What a show the sopranos was
Kanye cool but he's a copy of the rza in my opinion
Joseph King2 *were.
One of my favorite songs of all time #classic

Mike Frierson Thought I was the only one who felt the same
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a great look for kanye and beans teamwork makes the dreamwork

I got 1 year old son and this specific line gets me thinking man, like no man wants his child committing the same mistakes. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
jamaal holland one of the dopest lines ever
Opening an album like this was the right move. Nothing like it.
Beans has conquered many beats....... However, to me this is his best ever song...
Na bro what ya life like is the realest song by anybody ever
Agreed
What about his verse in the song "Where Have U Been"
Wow. I can't believe no one mentioned "Feel it in the Air? The music video with Method Man? Classic.
Drew C to mainstream, none the less its a great track but me personally always liked the more rare stuff.
I swear I listen to this once a weeek. Kanye was so muthafuckin dope. Man o man. Tears come to the eyes
It's 85% Beans Talent & Artistic abilities...
Give credit where credit is due! J.S
-Toke💯

This beat tugs at your soul
He was dope he took that soulful sound from the rza and Master it in his own way
Marc Regal yea shyt wz tight and beans spitting

Yes sir!!
... Can't explain it when I pick up my son and look at my face." My son was a baby when this dropped. And I felt this line. This why this my favorite song from Beans.
Now I remember why I dont play this song anymore....... everytime I do I end up playing it on loop 50 times 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Same here. I stumbled over across after like 6 years and listened to it like 10 times already. Lol..
You ain't lying fam

Can’t explain it when I pick up my son and look at my face. Nothing like it! 💪🏿💯 Soul touching rhymes and production man the good old days.
TO THE 13 PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE THIS SONG, WITH ALL DO RESPECT... GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC!!!
The introspection in this song is like this dude stepped out of existence and was looking at reality from a telescope.
Nwo Shorty perfect (street fighter guy voice)
Sigel was the truth he made music that feels good&we can relate too But this song here especially with that soulful beat just take u there
One of my all time favorite tracks, not just from Sigel, but Hip-Hop as a whole. This really speaks volumes as to his lyrical ability of connecting with the audience; something the artists of today clearly lack
Beans was the man yo the game ain't the same
Fuck u crackbaby
Facts
Beans peaked when recording this track. Inspires the hell out of me. Wish more tracks did this in hip hop. When you listen to it you can tell he felt lived every syllable.
U made this comment 6yrs ago but its probably the realists comment on here, beans was spittin wit serious purpose💯
o.g Paramount it was a prophetic message that still touches me as a 46 year old black man. Big Up OG from Detroit
That third verse sends chills through my soul
This song always lifts me up...
this is my favorite beans joint and kanye is a jean-yesssss.
Tryna tell'em you could burn young punk without smelling the fumes, make you shiver in the middle of june

The production and lyricism on this track is the HARDEST shit to EVER come outta Philly! Better than Meek Mill or any other bullshit out today hands down. This is not up for debate!
Agreed
You don’t know enough meek stuff to say that I can tell. Meek has around 50 of these perfections.
@@kevinsweeney3896 That was just my opinion. Can you name a few of those tracks so I listen to them? Does Meek have any tracks produced by Kanye?
@@kevinsweeney3896 These?? Fuck nah. Lol
Finally they brought my shit back to youtube Beans is one of the greatest lyrically
This was the first time I heard Kanye on anything but I thought this was the dopest beat ever and Beans floated all over this shit. Classic.
Delano Walker If you listen to Sigel you'll know Kanye produced The Truth
I do of course but I'm talking about when all this was brand new. Before anyone knew who Ye' was.
@@MileHighBoys ye was making beats for jay years before this. Just say you didn't know about Kanye before beans
@@doublec8069 that’s what I said goofy. Now kick rocks.
I know its a person's opinion... But the 13 ppl who dislike this track... I am saying this respectfully, what the fuck is your problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most lyrical song of all time this is Picasso level but it goes over everyone’s head
these were my favorite type of kanye beats, with the soulful sped up samples.
Kanye AND Beans don't make shit like this no more. The bassline alone>>>
+THEINFAMOUS1011 i wonder how he playd the bass line its long time ago. kanye used mpc2000 and asr10
+Mario Beatz prolly the ASR. Jake One still uses it.
yes i see all his videos, i never tryid asr doe
+HENRY007 The Truth. Got Nowhere. Guess Whos Back. Off the top of my head those stand out.
+HENRY007 This Can't Be Life also
Beans is and will always be in my top 10 mc ' s of all time. he so underated and slept on its a shame.

Rick Ross is credited with making this type of soulful sounds and infusing into hip hop. But let's be real, no one did better than The ROC
i dont think Ross is credited with that at all. Ross just make songs that sound and feel rich and luxurios
When you hear that Soul sample... Ye' always been that dude on the boards. SMH, After his Mom's passed he got Hollywood.. You hear that South Side influence all over this...
vmm12 y'all acting like this is something new rza been doing this Kanye even said his influence on beat making came from the Abbot hard beat nevertheless but don't sit here and act like y'all don't know
Bertnard Miller exactly and Kanye not from the south side 😂
@@freddycalipari4242 Kanye west is from the south side of Chicago and as far as Ezra influence him it has nothing to do with the fact that Kanye the man kill this beat beans influence growing up was big daddy Kane but that don’t have shit to do with this song does it now
Beans needs to know I listen to this once a day. This song doesn't get enough credit
Here it is 2023 some Hip Hop is timeless. 💯💯💯💯💬
After this song was recorded the studio should have been closed for a while for setting it on 🔥
we all owe Sigel Money!
Kanye West a monster
