I take too much of this world for granted, I’m hurt and I’m losing my way. But I’m ready to hear something to change my perspective. The wait was worth it, Thank you.
@@ethansmith3213 bro I feel the same. It’s so hard to live in the moment but I’m trying! We take small moments for granite and cling onto them forever once they’ve passed and are no longer tangible. We worry so much about what will happen in a year we forget to live for today.
@@maryannappiagyei4277 Kanye West and Common are South Chicago artists.I like both of them and they are the most important Chicago rappers.I just hear one part of Chicago which gotten most of the media attention I want to hear the other parts of the city.
I am touched. Learn to make peace with your past and your heritage! Learn to appreciate the little everyday good things in the present, however few they may be! Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.
One of the best introspective healing albums I've ever listened to...so it's like it gets better than care for me every single time I listen...that intro is so fucking good that I cried multiple times cuz my grandma died a few years ago and when he said " its been a while since the last time we saw you"...any way i thank you saba for his masta piece
No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it. Then I heard a piece of the Bone record and thought it sounded great. I'm glad I waited till the album dropped to hear it. I'm not sure if Saba is in a better space than he was in during care for me but it does sound like it on this record, even with the deep subject matter. This is definitely an album we will be talking about for a while now, and I hope it brings even more fans your way cause it's incredible. Sorry for ever doubting it.
15:26 Sankofa means to “retrieve”; literally “go back and get”; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” or “Sankofa w’onkyir” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”
Critical response to Saba just confounds me. I keep hearing how his sound “lulls” and his style “hasn’t outgrown his influences yet” and all I hear is sonic genius that takes me so many places. Maybe it’s my personal connection to music being so intense. Maybe I just let myself rejoice in each artist individually. But Saba’s work matters so much to me. I’m a Tulsan, and we’re kinda of an unspoken cousin of Chicago (many Black Tulsans fled to Chicago after the 1921 Race Massacre). I remember visiting Chicago for the first time in like 2004 and thinking, “This is like home. I know these people. I know their facial expressions.” Maybe that’s it. I don’t know. I’m just thankful that I get to hear it, and that he gets to do his work. 🙏🏽
I love everything about this record, not just the music but the ideas a d visuals behind it. You are an artist, got into Saba a bit late but I am happy I was here for the release of this one
this was an expierence. so beautiful what you guys created. timeless; the shots, the music, the direction, the storytelling, the actors. so amazing. you should all be super proud of this work of art. thank you for making it come to life.
this is amazing...the vision behind the album and film is so beautiful. Saba was goated for me after CFM but this project might top it. To the whole Pivot gang, thank you.
I remember a time where i had so little yet had everything i ever needed, but as ive grown a little older i feel as though ive got nothing anymore. This has really helped me. Thank you Saba for everything. I hope there comes a day where everybody has peace within themselves.
Thank you Saba. What for? For trusting your gut and pursuing your calling. For having the confidence to release your music knowing not everyone is gonna love it. Most of all, for telling not just your story, but everyone’s story. Thank you.
Thank you Saba for your presentations of blackness in all of its beauty. You are both an artist and the art! Keep shining and putting the West Side back on the map!!! All my love
This was so Amazing and so pit together. I felt your journey Saba. Please keep Giving us good Amazing artwork. You'll always will be legendary! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ #PivotGang
I usually block vulnerability & compassion to protect my feelings, my energy, my heart. Watching this amazing film made me cry uncontrollably😂 so many memories, so many thoughts as im watching. Thank you
definitely gonna be on my list for the album of the year. will come back and listen to this a lot, i‘m 100% sure about that. great work, thank you Saba
Wow so beautiful. The way you incorporated your family and your story into your music…just so beautiful. I don’t know many artists that do that. Love your work Saba, truly. 🤍
The energy that this album gave me on first listen was different, and then upon a number of listens I felt what it was really propagating - contentment. Saba expressed this in the best way he could, and it's felt in every song. Now when I hear the intro and 2012 I'm moved into a different space and feel. To be and feel genuine in your messages from this album shows it takes time, and Saba does show us this very well with his raps on here. Few Good Things is for Saba, for the people, for the world. Ready to count your blessings? Cop this album. Also caught the Twi saying "Sankofa w'onkyie" in there. Wow!
My Grandmother was Friends with Alderman Chandler and I think my brother went to Holy Trinity with your uncle if I'm not mistaken. He use to come to my Grandmas house on Austin and Ohio. But anyway this is Dope and touching!
This album is a classic! Saba has grown so much as an artist and is one of the newer generation that is keeping hip hop intact. Can't wait to see him perform this live 🙏🏾
@@gotworc lol, get off my comment. I have the right to call the album whatever I want to call it. Compared to albums that are deemed classics this album is up there. Stop worrying about other people's opinions 😂 and do you.
Very Profound take on life in Chicago...True art provokes thought and emotion...these visuals do just that....Ironically this album came out on my Grandma's funeral. Sounds morbid but it was actually comforting to listen to that day. Thank you for always having music that comforts
PEACE Saba, Life is Beautiful when you are able to face your Childhood Traumas, be Aware of your Lessons, Build Resilience and Capture your Story. I hope that this Creation has provided you with the Healing needed to get you through the next stage of your life. GRATITUDE for your Willingness to Continue Sharing. Sending you and the Collective Love, Strength and Prosperity as you reBuild a Foundation for your Legacy.

“I had everything I needed”…that really makes me stop and think man, my eyes are watering
I take too much of this world for granted, I’m hurt and I’m losing my way. But I’m ready to hear something to change my perspective. The wait was worth it, Thank you.

2012 is one of my personal favorites really takes me back to a special moment in my life...there's a lot we should be grateful for.
that part killed me I just started bawling out of nowehere damn
You're about to make me tear up too. It's one of the most beautiful part of the album. Great message.
i know it's early in the year but this is gonna be in top 3 albums of 2022, these visuals do it so much justice
ayo FNG's a Saba fan??? thats so fire
Dead trim, Live taste!
SBW [ Saba this week ]
Yooo Niran listens to Saba? Thats fire
I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself 😭😭😭😭 Saba fans off the gaff
One of the best lyrical story-tellers of our time.
Beautiful album, one of my favorites!
I’m glad to see rappers like Saba,Twista and Lupe Fiasco describe West Side Chicago.We always hear about South Chicago
Miss Kanye west. Common.
@@maryannappiagyei4277 Kanye West and Common are South Chicago artists.I like both of them and they are the most important Chicago rappers.I just hear one part of Chicago which gotten most of the media attention I want to hear the other parts of the city.
@@edwardkelly3280 musically Chicago can never be forgotten
Saba literally changing rap. I aint seen no one put out any kind of art this beautiful and personal. Saba is the future.
He is a modern great, but these visuals do resemble “never catch me” by flying lotus. Watch it if you haven’t seen it.
@@variantsnetwork love that clip
this video's reminding me of Don't go tellin your mama by topaz jones, amazing piece to watch, highly recommend
Everything for sale by westside boogie is another good one
Earl Sweatshirt is another artist that does the same.
This album is so special to me, like the songs just mean so much to me, like I FEEL THIS SH*T!
this album will be looked back on as a benchmark. you’re special man.
I am touched.
Learn to make peace with your past and your heritage!
Learn to appreciate the little everyday good things in the present, however few they may be!
Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.
Too me
I’m working on it. Thank you and blessings 🙏🏽
One of the best introspective healing albums I've ever listened to...so it's like it gets better than care for me every single time I listen...that intro is so fucking good that I cried multiple times cuz my grandma died a few years ago and when he said " its been a while since the last time we saw you"...any way i thank you saba for his masta piece
right, i thought i'd never like something from saba as much as care for me but this album is something special
Really does get better every listen
No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it.

This is definitely an album we will be talking about for a while now, and I hope it brings even more fans your way cause it's incredible. Sorry for ever doubting it.
Same here. Still enjoy Care for me better since it’s so nostalgic for me but this album was fantastic.
This film really made me nostalgic in every which way, I wasn’t expecting this to hit me as hard.
Saba has an extreme sense of artistic integrity
15:26 Sankofa means to “retrieve”; literally “go back and get”; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” or “Sankofa w’onkyir” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”
Whew! Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I didn’t know saba had Ghanaian roots!
Amazing talent, visionary! You can see when people genuinely care about the art they put out
When he said “I had everything I needed “ I felt that 👊🏾
2012 is my favorite 😍
Critical response to Saba just confounds me. I keep hearing how his sound “lulls” and his style “hasn’t outgrown his influences yet” and all I hear is sonic genius that takes me so many places.

Anybody notice the reference when it shows Church and Liquor store back to back at 5:40 ?
I love everything about this record, not just the music but the ideas a d visuals behind it. You are an artist, got into Saba a bit late but I am happy I was here for the release of this one
“All the small things about being broke I never got to notice” got me to appreciate a lot
Saba is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
Good stuff, im writing things up too, i hope we get what we want out of it
y’all will. stay focused n driven brethren.
stop spamming this bro
Nah

this was an expierence. so beautiful what you guys created. timeless; the shots, the music, the direction, the storytelling, the actors. so amazing. you should all be super proud of this work of art. thank you for making it come to life.
This album deserve the Grammy this year! Get better at least get a nomination, but it definitely deserves the win!
Yes. He deserves him win hope wish nominees list
Saba really went all out, he made art in every form
this is amazing...the vision behind the album and film is so beautiful. Saba was goated for me after CFM but this project might top it. To the whole Pivot gang, thank you.
We can tell you put your soul in this one. Grateful for your art.
Too me man. feel good Only listen album “I’m relate. That.
"I've always struggled to converse if it wasn't a verse, social anxiety it got me stumbling on words" so much power packed into one small sentence
This video made me once again appreciate my childhood, life and family. Love the energy!
This is So Dope Bro 🔥🔥🔥💯💯👏👏

definitely gonna be on my list for the album of the year. will come back and listen to this a lot, i‘m 100% sure about that. great work, thank you Saba
So glad I was able to make the sold out show in Silver Spring, MD! You're an inspiration for so many Saba!
This got me nostalgic about growing up on the westside in the early 90s. Thanks for bringing it back.
Really touched my heart with this
great job man!
Few good things...it's all about the simple things sometimes.
I really appreciate this album and this film -- PIVOT GANG 💙💚
Man I wept watching this. It reminded me of so much, from my family to different experiences. I felt the love, pain and struggle throughout.
Wow so beautiful. The way you incorporated your family and your story into your music…just so beautiful. I don’t know many artists that do that. Love your work Saba, truly. 🤍
Another great album. Your music is the best to get a day started, everyday motivation.
cried to this, love this Saba
A Few Good Things by Saba is a masterpiece.
This belongs in a art museum
Fantastic project. 🙏🙏🙏
Already, this deserves an award! Worldwide recognition at the very most! Positivity to the fullest!
Grateful to have experienced this

Still here, shedding a tear or two, in 2024. ❤️🩹
Whenever I feel like I'm losing myself.💚🌻
. na, my boy ate. this was such a beautiful project all around. it gives a smooth blue feel internally.
Album almost made me bust
Absolutely amazing album and visuals to go with it. Saba and the whole gang really made something classical here
My Grandmother was Friends with Alderman Chandler and I think my brother went to Holy Trinity with your uncle if I'm not mistaken. He use to come to my Grandmas house on Austin and Ohio. But anyway this is Dope and touching!
masterpiece
Story-telling was amazing. The director & film told his story fantastically. Shoutout to Cont4ct!
All of Saba's work is immaculate, been my favourite artist for a while now.
Love how meaningful this album is, one of my favorite artists and just refreshing to see a work of art with this much substance especially nowadays
this gave me so much clarity and purity i needed
A beautiful piece of art
This video says so much without saying much. That’s hard to do
This album is a classic! Saba has grown so much as an artist and is one of the newer generation that is keeping hip hop intact. Can't wait to see him perform this live 🙏🏾
can y'all stop calling everything a classic. it can't be a classic when it just came out. a classic is something that's timeless and old
@@gotworc lol, get off my comment. I have the right to call the album whatever I want to call it. Compared to albums that are deemed classics this album is up there. Stop worrying about other people's opinions 😂 and do you.
Masterpiece.
So that panned shot with the plant blooming... That was magic.
Wholesome. Family. Life.
This Project is extraordinary to say the least!!! A real treasure GOLDEN!!
