I MET EVIDENCE IN VENICE IN A RESTAURANT AND NOBODY KNEW WHO HE WAS I WENT IN THERE AND ASKED FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH HE SIGNED MY LA HAT AND AFTER I LEFT EVERYBODY WAS STARING AT HIM ILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY HUMBLE ASS DUDE!!
I met Evidence in Denver when he was touring with Brother Ali (08-09). He was just chilling at the merch booth before the show. Everyone around him and nobody knew it was him. I looked at a flyer with his pic on it, looked up snd he was right there. Said what’s up and told him I’m a big fan and love Dilated. He signed the flyer I had, I told him I was super excited to see him and when he shook my hand, he said “then you better rock the fuck out tonight!”. He was a such a nice, humble guy. Met Ali too after the show and he was same, super friendly and humble. And they both put on such killer sets! Grateful to have met them and glad to see Ev still making music. Cheers to Evidence, Rhyme Sayers, and all the real hip hop in the world!
My favorite joint on the album. Takes me to another zone. It's so hypnotic, and it's got some of the most intricate flows on the album, but they still sound effortless. Out of all the producers Ev regularly works with, the Ev and Nottz combo is the one that doesn't get enough props. I'd love at least an EP from Ev and Nottz some time before I leave this earth. This is just beautiful music.
@@painville That's fair. But every person I've introduced to Nottz that hasn't heard of him has fallen in love with his production. So to some extent I still think he's underrated. He's peoples' favorite producer's favorite producer. I wish more regular people were familiar with him, though. And he's produced a lot of songs that people love (both underground and super mainstream), but they just don't realize that he produced them.
💯 that's how I felt about Pardon Me and Better U as well!!!Amazing project... Ev is a rare breed.. doesnt need to wow with crazy multis and rapid spit he just takes his time and creates magic over dope production
Those 26 down votes most likely came from unfortunate young men whose minds have been poisoned by a collective loss of good taste and sense. There are more and more of what we old folks call sheople every year. The world was a dreary place in 1997. Now imagine what it is.
A ev & nottz album would be dope, but you’re dope to. I heard you’re joints on DJ Mixx’s show The Chronicles. You’re interview was ill to. Keep putting out them heaters.
NO DRUGS FOR ME, NO PAIN KILLERS.... NOTHING....BUT THIS MUSIC SHIT BABY!!!!!! THANK YOU EV.....BEATS.. RHYMES....LIFE... GETTING IT ALWAYS.....YA HEARD.
For real. So underrated, but he got the underground on lock so it's all good. So humble too I'll never forget messaging back and forth with him in the MySpace days. That's real shit.
Even three years later I'm still stunned by the sickest rhymin' pattern I ever heard from Evidence. Combined with this deeply chilled beat and this video - what a masterpiece.
Been following this guy EV since my older brother copped the dilated CDs. Ever since he’s gotten me thru a lot of ups and downs. Music is a blessing and this man is a healer whether he knows it or not. Underrated. Thanks bro 🔥
This is what I'm talking about real rap. Coming from a mature human being instead of a xaned out clown waving money. Dodge me with that give me something with some soul and meaning like this.
I honestly don't understand what happened to this music and why it's been contaminated with such embarrassing artists and tracks like "Gucci Gang" and all the rest of the superficial, stupid crap. Evidence defends the quality of rap and I'm very grateful for that. Respect and greetings from Poland.
@@JareiroDeLaMakrela Well the difference is that the superficial stupid crap isn't really this genre. It is pop culture and plastic rap. Pop culture will be there forever taking things from other genres and making it like they see fit. No need to compare this to gucci gang or mumble rappers. This is pure rap over a chilled down beat, beautiful and simple!
Man, we absolutely love what you're giving us, EV. Get through some rough days with this shit, and some outstanding days with this shit. You are very much appreciated brotha. Peace.

I hadn't smoked in so long...this track made me hit the weed when I walked in the park, from there..I got lost in time. This instrumental just insane. One of my top 5s of all time. I've been such a supporter of Ev, I bought this album on vinyl and on tape thru rhymesayers...one of the only time I've bought the same album on 2 formats. I'll always support my brother Ev, for life. My top rapper
This has got to be one of the most relatable tracks I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm going to spread this like wildfire. Edit: This is one of the best tracks I've heard in my entire life.
I'm from a big city called you make it or you OD Runners up don't get the trophy We missing Kobe I light my trees While homies leaning off the codeine I'm a champ with no ring Sheesh 🔥
GOAT status, been listening to Evidence since the 90s and dude can do no wrong. Not only are his lyrics on point but his beats never disappoint. His evolution as an artist is truly impressive.
"I need peace more than Bentley Benz or Beemers"
damn) I thought, he said "... than benzodiazepines")
the power of hip hop, one might say?)

😂yeah like did they hit wrong button or what?
@@guyvandermire4146❤❤
Ev is the man. My favorite rapper. Love him
So grateful to see EV over all this years dropping jewels and staying real and respecting his own vibe
RhymeSayers is one of the select few groups still bringing new dope hip hop to the table.
South Africa Approves 🇿🇦
👑🎙️
The world needs a full album by Evidence, produced by Nottz and cuts by Babu. Just putting that into the world. Dope song and visuals.
A ev & nottz album would be dope, but you’re dope to. I heard you’re joints on DJ Mixx’s show The Chronicles. You’re interview was ill to. Keep putting out them heaters.
Ev always comes through. Stays consistent. His albums never disappoint
In fact, each one is better than the one before. No other rapper is able to deliver so consistent fire for over 2 decades now. King shit!
Ever since the Platform, nothing but classics! Weatherman LP is my favorite
Amen!
Evidence is the definition of consistency
Get better in time
NO DRUGS FOR ME, NO PAIN KILLERS.... NOTHING....BUT THIS MUSIC SHIT BABY!!!!!! THANK YOU EV.....BEATS.. RHYMES....LIFE... GETTING IT ALWAYS.....YA HEARD.
Ev dropped another classic! Man’s is a legend and is underrated at least in my book 🔥💪🏾👏🏾
when he's underrrated he's tight, or else it would be like drake and only hits, it's could be mood lifting music, if he get's famous, dough.
Agreed, him and dave east definitely need more attention.
Mine also G
Wouldnt say he is underrated, but he is definitely underappreciated
@@crackerdnzl underappreciated is right
No Emcee has touched my heart like Evidence has.
I'm just a person who's an owner of an lonely heart... I felt that
Evidence don't stop with it... Music with meaning, all the time everytime. Especially the lyrics. Thank you.
2023 ….. Immortal 🎶❤️🎤🙏👊🏻 Respect from Poland ❤️
"Sleepless keeps me far from what my dream is" 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you Ev for keeping us blessed with dope music and one of a kind videos.
Most consistent hip hop artist out there!
Never disappoints!
Unlearning is the album of the year in my book!
For real. So underrated, but he got the underground on lock so it's all good. So humble too I'll never forget messaging back and forth with him in the MySpace days. That's real shit.
@@stevedrew645 Helped me out when my Underexposed order went missing and nobody was answering any messages. Dude's a blessing for this community.
Nah
@@daddydidnt9700 what is your album of the year then?
Show Apathy some love brother!
I need peace more than Bentley Benz or Beamers 🔥 fire🔥🔥🔥
That boom bap beat with a smooth flow= Classic.
Respect ✊🏽 From Libya 🇱🇾 To Real Mc’s Every where 🔥😎
Even three years later I'm still stunned by the sickest rhymin' pattern I ever heard from Evidence. Combined with this deeply chilled beat and this video - what a masterpiece.
evidence keeps dropping heat.20 plus years in the game
this song almost had me crying. crazy.
Flowerz to this Brother .. We appreciate all your contributions to Hip Hop

Same story here bro, stay up & keep that real on the rewind 💯👊🏼😎.
The biggest lessons are the ones that echo // If the feedback gets caught up in the loop, then it's somethin' special. [ Instant Classic ]
Looooove that line 💙
I'm breaking this down as the first line a philosophical line.then then next line referring to production niches ?.
Yooow wtf
Love this song and ‘Unlearning’ is crazy still listening to it constantly!
Peace and blessings EV! ✌️🎤🔥🙏🏻

Absolutely masterpiece. My favourite track of this summer

Man, this tune hits me in the feels so bad. I love it. Thanks EV, u one of the goats in my eyes. Album is fire. Peace from UK. ❤️
RHYMESAYERS has a genius staff.... always finding real lyricist!
Evidence has been around for yeeeears tho lol
Blasting this shit religiously.. even as I smoke another one rn circling the track in the park at night
MOST DEFINITELY TAKES U TO ANOTHER TIME AND SPACE.
Precisely
When I heard the 1st two bars, I knew it would be a classic...Best song on his new album, hands down!!!!!

Thank God there's Evidence
Ev a goat for real, his voice, his flow, his production💪🏻
Way underated rapper. Love me some Dilated Peoples. Keep going.
Biggest lessons are the one's that echo
If the feedback gets caught up in the loop then it's something special
Damn, something really special about this.
Hip hop forever
Master of the slo mo video!! Sets his music off reaaaal proper like!!! 💪🏽
LYRICS:
I shine so bright
So what you on
Dope or dog food?
Don't need a needle in my arm
My needle on grooves
Make the wrong moves and history's made
Make the right one
They might just try to evict where you stay
I stay below the surface
Only believe in what I'm known to purchase
Flying
Higher up just like bird perches
I got a keen sense
I'm observant
Got the worm I'm up early
At night I'm up turning
Sleepless
Keeps my far from what my dream is
I need peace more than Bentley Benz or Beemers
Extend my arms just to find out what my reach is
Beaches
Define my actions more than all my features
All my reason and my logic now been panning out
Didn't take me serious until I pulled the Canon out
I make the photo finish vintage
They don't call it art
I'm just a person who's an owner of a lonely heart
That's a walk in the dark
I hit this weed when I walk in the park
That's a walk in the dark
I hit this weed when I walk in the park
I think of other shit that might not've crossed my mind
That's leads to other shit then I'm getting lost in time
That leads to other shit
I ain't trying to live to what the hype is
Or trying to justify the kill as righteous
My imagery defines all my image and my likeness
My symmetry's aligned
So they can't mimic me in cyphers
Or limit me
That's why I disregard the arrogance
It's cause of my ability
And will is my inheritance
Bad days ahead of us
I feel like I'm prepared for it
People fighting fair
I just put one in the air for it
I'm from a big city called you make it or you OD
Runners up don't get the trophy
We missing Kobe
I light my trees
While homies leaning off the codeine
I'm a champ with no ring
I'm unsung and don't sing
Biggest lessons are the one's that echo
If the feedback gets caught up in the loop then it's something special
Shot it clean
They want effects
Then I add the retro
I guess I made my point just to add a decimal
That's a walk in the dark
I hit this weed when I walk in the park
That's a walk in the dark
I hit this weed when I walk in the park
I think of other shit that might not've crossed my mind
That's leads to other shit then I'm getting lost in time
I hadn't smoked in so long...this track made me hit the weed when I walked in the park, from there..I got lost in time.

how can he hit all the right marks every time, thats incredible...
The higher echelons of rap
A work of art ❤
this whole song and video combo is amazing....got this on the playlist while I draw...
The works are fire.
HELL YEAH EV, YOU STATE A LIFETIME WITH THIS ONE SONG. I MISSED THE FIRST LOAD OF THIS RECORD....I NEED THAT SECOND, A REISSUE.
Ev is like a fine wine
Amazing visuals to an amazing song. Love how you're in sync with the lyrics while in slow mo.
Yo Ev, you did not aged a day since 2000. 🧛♂️
Video is dope…song is dope anyway.
Hope to see you on stage in germany 🔜
Props to all involved✌🏻

Can't go wrong with Evidence + Nottz + Vanasco. Great work of art!

A hypnotic, chilling joint with some serious lyricism on display. Fire.
Thank you brought me to tears time I start shining my light got a small job to take care of first. I'm on my way soon
Nobody looks cooler gesturing and slow flowing than Evidence.
Heard this track, immediately went to downtown LA to loudly play this driving around
Real Fans listen to Real Hip Hop!!
I just wanna cry that view is so beautiful
EV spittin' fire as always...man sets the bar higher with each joint he drops! Instant classic 🔥🔥
Best Evidence I've heard in FOREVER, finally...
Evidence for me is the synonym for the Rain in LA
Beautiful. Real Rap.
Hott Fyahh! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
