Diamond D a legend on the mic and behind the boards he did great work on Fat Joe Debut album and Scientifik first LP. And Diamond D debut album is a hip hop classic.
Huge fan of Ed O.G. back in high school...and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Hip-Hop had a soul back then...Much respect to the tri-state and Roxbury!
Ed OG still lives in Roxbury till this day. This song goes out to all the people I've known who fell before their time in Boston. May God rest your souls. RIP Deangelo, Steven, and Brownell
Music like this was way ahead of its time. Its unbelievable how under appreciated this is. Hopefully this music will get the recognition it really deserves.
i always cry when i listen to this not because this is a song about lost friends and family, but because we will never see this kind of rap ever again 😭😭😭😭 it breaks my heart 💔 😫
I think Ed OG and da bulldogs are the truest rappers ever. This group were able to give us wisdom through hippop. No group has matched this kind of wisdom. Respect goes to Paris as well. This days, we have criminals rapping and everybody is following their footsteps. Anyway, on this earth, evil will be popular but the truth will reign supreme. Thanks Ed OG.
love boston, love this song, want the best for humanity as we continue on this journey! thank you to all yall who make the best of life and our shared experiences! dumb high right now, haha.. hopefully dont rub any of yall wrong... this beat oozes soul... thanks to whoever produced this beat.. peace yall
Not everybody. Im a 2000's kid and this shit is what I want to have played at my funeral. But it's right, that lots of people my age like listening to this shitty trap-mumbling shit and don-t even know real Hip-Hop. I am so sorry for Kids growing up with the mindset dudes like lil pump are rappers...
One of the greatest, and most underrated, rap songs of all time. I LOVE this with all my heart. This shit is so real and so touching. It's Gangsta Rap hard and touching at the same time. It deals with shit we all deal with on the streets. I've lived in Boston and Memphis. I know East Coast sound and Dirty South sound and this shit is as real as it gets. MAD props to Ed O G
Early 94- hip hop was beautiful. I was 16-White dude who loved hip hop. School, girls, parties and sports-life was simple. Ed OG was a great group-first album is incredible
I remember this song came out in 93 around the same time Wu Tang's "Can It Be All So Simple" dropped. I like both songs but in the end, Wu Tang was forever!
true words! sad story! ... just don't understand people that do not recognize the value of life ... material things can somehow be replaced but life is gone forever and so are dad's, mother's, friend's, beloved one's ... is that REALLY worth it?!
I did not appreciate this song until I got older and wiser- being raised in that area ( big up Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan) I feel these lyrics.. that time was hard for Boston.. big up all those who lost their life to violence…
The nostalgia! Someone needs to invent a time machine already.
Probably my favorite Diamond D production. Ed O.G. with the immortal lyrics.
Diamond D a legend on the mic and behind the boards he did great work on Fat Joe Debut album and Scientifik first LP. And Diamond D debut album is a hip hop classic.
I miss mid-90's hip-hop.... Ed O.G, Lordz of the underground, Gangstarr...
.DITC, Redman, Nas... We could go on and on.
This is up there with TROY as far as the most beautiful, heartfelt hip hop songs ever.
Sad Song, A classic at the same time; the saddest thing these were underated MCs, they never got the credibility they trully deserved.
This song is life
100!
Sad song, RIP to the countless brothers from the 'Ville who perished due to gun violence.
AMEEN..
Type Personality Mannie Fresh Reddmman 🎇🎇 Marlon He HJu
This makes me cry...RIP to all the loved ones lost
Edo G is one of the greatest, as I get older his music speaks to me more and more. He deserves way more recognition.
Yea for real just like Pacs Music ... ❤🎉
Huge fan of Ed O.G. back in high school...and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Hip-Hop had a soul back then...Much respect to the tri-state and Roxbury!
Bean town salute!

Ed OG still lives in Roxbury till this day. This song goes out to all the people I've known who fell before their time in Boston. May God rest your souls. RIP Deangelo, Steven, and Brownell
ed og is so tight with his conversational sounding verses in a way that evokes guru. its no wonder.
Wish him and gangstarr collab especialy this album, hard to earn and moment of truth.
@@maroon9273 i wished Gang Starr reached out to Edo G for their albums.

It deals with shit we all deal with on the streets. I've lived in Boston and Memphis. I know East Coast sound and Dirty South sound and this shit is as real as it gets. MAD props to Ed O G

And everybody knows love comes and goes.... TIMELESS & UNFADEABLE... ❤️❤️❤️🙏TRACK & BEAT🙌💥
Remember when they played it on MTV Yo Raps...what happened to the music nowadays?
I remember this song came out in 93 around the same time Wu Tang's "Can It Be All So Simple" dropped.
I like both songs but in the end, Wu Tang was forever!

The real rap. Someone listening in 2020?
I’m with you brother

Real rap with a real message! Salute 🫡
Quite amazing how music can inspire you or comfort you in times of celebration or great loss.
This song is medicine in 2019.

Jamhal73 word.. I too truly thank for this song. Such a reminder of the divine nature of life. There is a better way to walk these days.
This brother is a good tutor, I've shopped around for his tunes; he's decent.
A minor hit from what I remember but big enough that I am listening to it over 25 years later.
