I havent heard this in over 20 years. I remember listening to this year after my father lost to cancer. I broke down. Many years later I got cancer but I survived it 💪
I had a friend I met many moons ago in our teens (36 now) and he introduced me to this song. I loved from the first time. He would go on to introduce me to countless other things beyond music. Everytime we would link I would ask him to play this. For years. He died of Cancer a few years back..The irony that this song foreshadowed his death hurts me til this day. Hindsight is a .....
"a meaningless death made me ? the meaning of life does my body stay at rest like when i'm sleeping at nite, will i burn in internal hell, or will i find paradise, be rejected, or resurrected like the body of Christ????" now that's lyricism guys keep the music alive!!!!
"My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends The Last Emp and Set Free blessed me with a verse Staying healthy comes first Look at me things could be worst" The most emotional ending to a song anyone has ever written. Poetic is a good name! Gravediggaz for life!
The Last Emperor is the underground diamond in the rough one of the greatest unknown artist,leaps and bounds ahead of his time,even his new material is pure Hip-Hop gold era worthy.
After 13 years, I came back to listen to this having lost my brothers. Likanga, Patrick and MacDonald Salima. Rest in peace my brothers till we meet again. I promise to represent you well and I will continue to stand on your shoulders!
His outlook was still positive in that moment, his mental fortitude was beyond incredible, definitely one of the most underrated MC's from the 90s. Was a great person too (donated money and time to inner city programs and stuff like that), such a shame he passed away so young.
This remains one of the most poignant, haunting, heart wrenching, and visceral songs I’ve ever heard. Idk why I thought if it again today, but here I am. What a beautifully tragic performance. Hearing this as a child made me cherish health and life so much more. Now, as an adult, having lost so many friends to gun violence, overdose, or the prison system, I realize just how blessed I truly am. this is music, this is art, this is LIFE
Poetic is and was THE most talented modern day poet of the 20th century...just listening to him reminds me of a troubadour from the middle ages that spins rhymes for royalty the way he delivers his verses is , I have no other word for it other than PERFECT...his rhymes are flawless....some would say he was way ahead of his time , but I think he was behind his time possibly thousands of years before time memorial...YES I believe he is and always will be the greatest MC of all time on planet Earth w/out question. RIP Anthony and Dee Dee, your a great gal and I am proud to have met you and call you my friend....... - Robbie T
Poetic, Rest in Poetry man!!!!!!!! this tune gives courage to a lot of people out there..... i remember me having tears when i first listened to this track....... "things could be worse"....... so true man....
been having a heavy heart lately, listening to this song got me chopping onions and finding solace in dark space and the questions i have no answers to.
One of the saddest songs I ever heard and The Last Emperor’s best song no doubt. Poetic’s verse was actually better than Emp’s both were so very great. The best concept song about dying from an illness in all of Hip-Hop, quite a hidden gem. Everything about this song was so flawless from the brilliant lyrics to the meaningful concept to the well-sung vocals to the mixing and production. Just an absolutely eloquent masterpiece.
"Every time I question death my only answer is life" This is THE most touching hiphop song ever. Major respect to Last Emperor- one of the best emcees EVER.... and Rest in Peace Too Poetic aka Grym Reaper (6 feet deep is a classic album)....
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest storytelling in hip hop history. Devestating and wonderful at the same time. Goosebumps every time I listen to it.
the story in this song is just sad. And as if that wasnt enough, the emotion that the beat brings with the rain sounds and guitar as well as the violin in the back (i think its violin) just brings up even more emotion. Definitely one of the best tracks i've ever heard..
Came back to it after an intense bout of kidney stones and small intestines infection after not hearing it for years,no song could have hit any harder.Beautifully sobering piece of art
This song is so sad. The Last Emperor is pure quality. Poetic (second verse) died shortly after this song was recorded. It really hits that much harder knowing that. R.I.P.
RIP Poetic. I grew up listing to this masterpiece and always felt terrible for anyone who has/had to endure what Poetic describes in his verse. Ironically, about a year and half ago at age 28, i found myself on the bathroom floor screaming for help. Turns out I had/have stage 4 colon cancer and my tumor ruptured. I'm doing better now, still have a long fight but i keep coming back to this track for inspiration. Being healthy always comes first. Peace.
Ant was an Angel who God put in our mist so he could spread truth to a population that would have NO way of receiving that information from people they trust...he was the one...and God has much bigger plans for him now...he is a warrior for Christ and he lived a loving, strong life while he lived on Earth...and now he is at the right hand of Christ as a true advisor to our Lord...we all miss you and your beautiful words will last for eternity. "HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIANT"!
Poetic's verse is fucking unbelivable, the guy was about to die and wrote amazing and powerful lyrics, Poetic was a strong and wise human being. 'Stay healthy comes first'. Blessings to all the people that are suffering from some disease.
This song always gets to me Poetic is one of my favorite rappers , he passed away to young R.I.P. Grym . Although it's a sad song it brings me strength.
Rest in Peace Poetic. This is the most personal verse signed Poetic iv'e ever heard in a track ever, when he was ill with cancer and died shortly after the song was made. Sad sad stuff.
Been looking for this song for years since I heard it .... damm poetic grim reaper verse is still heartbreaking 💔he let all his pain spill on this record
Hits me right in the heart every time. This track goes deep, deep into my psyche. R.I.P dude. Last Emp. Definitely blessed you with the opportunity to touch the masses.
Becomes so much more real when you know Poetic died after laying his verse on this. How he describes it just makes these small problems we all go through insignificant. Amazing.
too me this song is sad for us because we lost an amazing lyricist and person. but its uplifting because listen to his pain...now hes in the better place. death is only feared by those left behind. RIP POETIC AKA GRYM.
If there were ever a Too Poetic "lost tapes" of sorts with an anthology of all unreleased material where he appeared on, this would be one of the top songs in my opinion. R.I.P. Your words and original style lives on.
I know Dee Dee his wife personally and she in the very near future will be dropping exactly the kind of LP your asking for...here's one you might have not heard....ua-cam.com/video/6qbXrlgG1Ck/v-deo.html
Danny Harvey it’s not on any streaming platform or iTunes music either. Sucks because this song is a gem and when I want to show it to people I end up here to show them this gem of hip hop.
this song is so touching...it makes me reminisce on the days that i was innocent....before i started doing bad things...man this song....it brings me emotions that only christian rap/music touched me with...
Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of the tough times I had. And makes me wonder, why do things happen the way it happens? Will I find the answer after death? What’s going to when I die? Like the song says, “Am I living in the moment, am I living righteously?” I have all these questions to ask myself
Damn has to be one of the most powerful songs ever. the background music is so bossing. The story line that goes with it just brings out the true pain of the teller. Really worth listening to, glad this song has so many views. Not enough music like this is heard by the ears.
I met Last Emp a few years ago, real cool cat. Definitely one of my fav MC's. Combine that with the lovely Esthero and the late Poetic and you've got a match made in heaven, which is more Poetic is at now. RIP, my man.
one of the greatest lycrics i have ever heard have always come from the Last Emp if you ever here Charlie and Single Mother both sick songs RIP Poetic miss them old days Emp
Too Poetic. Simple as that really. Never did an artists name sum up the individuals talent better. Possibly the greatest man to ever pic up a mic. The only hip-hop track that takes me close to tears every time I hear it. R.I.P. Grym
i went to the deadbeats hip hop festival about fifteen years ago an they gave out a mix with this tune,the most beautiful hip hop tune ever made,bless all crew,i been breakdancin,beat box,la lockin,roboticks,makin rymes since 83 old punk dread still lovin it !this song helped me!
Real rap and one of the saddest songs i have ever heard it talks about life and it could end anyday To bad we dont have real music these days. R.I.P Too Poetic
I would say THE most deep track in the history of Hip Hop. This shit wanna make me change the way i live ya know...eat more healthy, put more positive things out in the world. Its one life...we aint got no second chance. damn
Word, this is real poetic rap, with meaning. Gives me a second thought on life everytime I hear it. Last Emporer is easily in my top 5 because he's not only very creative and expansive with his raps, but he's legit and sick flow too, drops mad knowledge.
"Dawn, help me, I aint feeling too healthy" --- Good fucking God I broke down when he said that.. reminds me of going to my sister when I was struggling
RIP Poetic.
Although he said he was blessed to do this verse, it's a blessing to everyone who hears it.
Timeless track.
❤🙏❤
Every track he has ever rocked he literally outshines every MC that raps with him...even the RZA...and I believe that is why RZA deserted him bc he had more skill poetically and verbally than RZA and he couldn't allow him to be the better... and the sad thing is 99.9% of people who listen to rap these days never even heard of him...that is wrong bc of the caliber of his skill...he makes Em look like a novice...and he was a positive mc who told vivid stories that not only the poor kid from the PJ's can relate to but the 88 year old man would stop and say " did he just say what I think he said"??? he was a good person with a giant heart for everyone, all races, colors & creeds...if he was around today I think he would be ashamed at the Satanic nature of music today...no skill, no poetry, no stories that paint epic pictures...it's all about money. guns, drugs and sex...all whilst disrespecting woman beyond what even the worst and most materialistic rappers of my time "the late 80's and mid 90's" were capable of...it's astounding...to me, he was the very last of true Mc's and the best of em.....I was fortunate enough when I lived in LA to become friends with his wife Dee Dee and to me it was like meeting Jacky Kennedy RIP or Royalty...but she is just like me and you and just a wonderful woman. -maybe one day someone will right a book or a screen play about his life, poetic skill and tragic death...he deserves to have his story told...he was the only good role model in the rap industry out of all the artists I listened to he actually preached positivity about having faith and the truth in this world when it comes to the fed bank and all the TRUE "conspiracies" that people know are true but just don't have the influence, rap skill or courage to let it loose to the public...he did until his dying day....my fav verse was from the song Never Gonna Come Back....

I havent heard this in over 20 years. I remember listening to this year after my father lost to cancer. I broke down.
Many years later I got cancer but I survived it 💪
stay Up God
Keep up to Good health baby❤❤
'a meaningless death made me question the meaning of life. does my body remain at rest like when am sleeping at night?'

I'm Still bumping this in Kenya 2022 🙌🙌🙌
One of the best and saddest songs ever recorded. RIP poetic
kev79cfc I agree with you wholeheartedly
One of the Great ones
This song devastates me everytime i listen to it, even after all these years.
No it's not, it's Esthero.
Joe Pickford Sorry, my bad. I have read that somewhere years ago and never forgotten about it. It's even on the back of album that it's Esthero.
Yeroen No worries, all make a mistake. Esthero has a great voice and I would have believed you if I didn't look it up.
Haha yea thats right. Heard that some years ago.
this song devastates me... after a year of listening to it.
Rip poetic. You made one of the greatest verses in hiphop history even if most don’t see, the few that do will keep it alive
I had a friend I met many moons ago in our teens (36 now) and he introduced me to this song. I loved from the first time. He would go on to introduce me to countless other things beyond music. Everytime we would link I would ask him to play this. For years. He died of Cancer a few years back..The irony that this song foreshadowed his death hurts me til this day. Hindsight is a .....
I havent listened to this in over 10 years... Im glad i came back here. What a GEM of a song.
Same... God bless
@@ghostfifthsame
whenever im thinkin too much about lifes craziness i come here to remind me how precious life is and to enjoy every moment. thank you emperor
"a meaningless death made me ? the meaning of life does my body stay at rest like when i'm sleeping at nite, will i burn in internal hell, or will i find paradise, be rejected, or resurrected like the body of Christ????"
now that's lyricism guys keep the music alive!!!!
"My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends
The Last Emp and Set Free blessed me with a verse
Staying healthy comes first
Look at me things could be worst" The most emotional ending to a song anyone has ever written. Poetic is a good name! Gravediggaz for life!
Been listening to this song ever since it was posted on this channel around 07', and it still gives me chills every time I hear it.
The poetic verse is soo real and deep. Goosebumps everytime I hear it. Even after all these years. Hits the same way everytime
The Last Emperor is the underground diamond in the rough one of the greatest unknown artist,leaps and bounds ahead of his time,even his new material is pure Hip-Hop gold era worthy.
Me and death is playin' chess
ever since then
my strength is most high
my famine/fam and close friends
After 13 years, I came back to listen to this having lost my brothers. Likanga, Patrick and MacDonald Salima. Rest in peace my brothers till we meet again. I promise to represent you well and I will continue to stand on your shoulders!
Damn... Poetic! His verse is haunting!
Died shortly after recording the track I heard. Gives you the shivers even more!
+Kurt K whats the name of the track??
+Gerardo Vidana the very one you listen to
he was really going through that right? All i heard was that it had something to do with his stomach and rza never visited him
His outlook was still positive in that moment, his mental fortitude was beyond incredible, definitely one of the most underrated MC's from the 90s. Was a great person too (donated money and time to inner city programs and stuff like that), such a shame he passed away so young.
This remains one of the most poignant, haunting, heart wrenching, and visceral songs I’ve ever heard. Idk why I thought if it again today, but here I am.

Thanks for putting poetic on this song. His soul lives on through this beautiful music and I will forever blast this song all over the place.
The lady got a beautiful voice. This track is a masterpiece
" The pain's too strong maybe my soul's trying to move on..."damn.. :(
The most Underrated Song By The Most Underrated Artist!
This is what mainstream is missing in the conversation for "real" hiphop…
Rest In Peace, Poetic! I am so sad I have never heard of him, he deserves recognition and respect! :(
I feel sorry for those who will never discover this song. It's so beautiful.
My respects to lady Esthero who sang so passionately and Set free for the such a masterpiece of strings
"Every time I question death my only answer is life"
This is THE most touching hiphop song ever. Major respect to Last Emperor- one of the best emcees EVER.... and Rest in Peace Too Poetic aka Grym Reaper (6 feet deep is a classic album)....
Most underrated legend, the world is missing out!
Everybody needs a good cry, right? That's why I sought this song out.

Ivandro Carvalho me (:

One of the greatest, if not THE greatest storytelling in hip hop history. Devestating and wonderful at the same time. Goosebumps every time I listen to it.
I agree!
This is some of the most pure, realist hip hop I have ever heard. RIP and RESPECT to you and yours.
the story in this song is just sad. And as if that wasnt enough, the emotion that the beat brings with the rain sounds and guitar as well as the violin in the back (i think its violin) just brings up even more emotion.
Definitely one of the best tracks i've ever heard..
It's a cello. good ears though!
this guitar reminds me of somebody i love from the center of my heart,,one life baby,.one love
I Love you alwayz, gabriel..💔😢
I keep coming back to this Beautiful/Sad work of art. Such a touching song, hits your soul.
Rest in paradise, Poetic. 🙏🖤
Came back to it after an intense bout of kidney stones and small intestines infection after not hearing it for years,no song could have hit any harder.Beautifully sobering piece of art
This song is so sad. The Last Emperor is pure quality. Poetic (second verse) died shortly after this song was recorded. It really hits that much harder knowing that. R.I.P.
The beat,lyrics,nice flow...this guy is really good.
I LOVE THIS TRACK!!! You can feel the REALNESS!
Blessed Love to every one who feels it!
RIP Poetic. I grew up listing to this masterpiece and always felt terrible for anyone who has/had to endure what Poetic describes in his verse.

This is DEEP.. Real Hip Hop at its finest.
This is just BEAUTIFUL! Memories run thick, and they always will........
I cant listen to this song without getting chills. RIP poetic. amazing song, true poetry
This song always gets to me Poetic is one of my favorite rappers , he passed away to young R.I.P. Grym . Although it's a sad song it brings me strength.
we will never be blessed by such a beautiful song like this ever again
Coming back to this after so long. Wow.
Rest in Peace Poetic. This is the most personal verse signed Poetic iv'e ever heard in a track ever, when he was ill with cancer and died shortly after the song was made. Sad sad stuff.
The crazy part about Poetic (the 2nd verse) is that the dude died from cancer. His verse is about the pains of his cancer.
Yeah saddest song I ever heard.Not only that but my father also died from Cancer and thanks to this song I could see a glimpse of how my father felt
It was legitimately his last recorded verse as far as I know
Shed so many tears to this song.
Been looking for this song for years since I heard it .... damm poetic grim reaper verse is still heartbreaking 💔he let all his pain spill on this record
Hits me right in the heart every time. This track goes deep, deep into my psyche. R.I.P dude. Last Emp. Definitely blessed you with the opportunity to touch the masses.
Becomes so much more real when you know Poetic died after laying his verse on this. How he describes it just makes these small problems we all go through insignificant. Amazing.
Amazing. I can't express how much this has helped me.
too me this song is sad for us because we lost an amazing lyricist and person. but its uplifting because listen to his pain...now hes in the better place. death is only feared by those left behind. RIP POETIC AKA GRYM.
I love how even through raw emotion there is no cursing on this track. In my opinion this makes the song even more powerful.
One of my favourite songs ever, gets me every time.
this shit so underrated wow.
AMEN!
POETIC VERSE HIT ME PERSONALLY.. I HAD CANCER
God bless you! I hope it stays out of you forever.......My grandmother that I adored died from Cancer.
God bless you
my condolences stay strong.. and thanks
I'm happy you're still with us! I helped my Dad in his last days. It was the deepest moment of my life.
i hope you are good now JROCC CORLEONE
Old School Classic
Got this album on Vinyl a true gem
When I first heard this I cried. Life is so special. One minute you are here in the physical and the next you could be gone.
If there were ever a Too Poetic "lost tapes" of sorts with an anthology of all unreleased material where he appeared on, this would be one of the top songs in my opinion. R.I.P. Your words and original style lives on.
I know Dee Dee his wife personally and she in the very near future will be dropping exactly the kind of LP your asking for...here's one you might have not heard....ua-cam.com/video/6qbXrlgG1Ck/v-deo.html
Still listening to this in 2018 ❤
That song is an experience...amazing.
Rest in power Poetic. We love you even to this day.
why did they take this off spotify. Just noticed about 3 minutes ago\
Danny Harvey it’s not on any streaming platform or iTunes music either. Sucks because this song is a gem and when I want to show it to people I end up here to show them this gem of hip hop.
this song is so touching...it makes me reminisce on the days that i was innocent....before i started doing bad things...man this song....it brings me emotions that only christian rap/music touched me with...
Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of the tough times I had. And makes me wonder, why do things happen the way it happens? Will I find the answer after death? What’s going to when I die? Like the song says, “Am I living in the moment, am I living righteously?” I have all these questions to ask myself
damn, this is beyond deep. great song.
Your not weak when you cry in pain. Your Human.
Damn has to be one of the most powerful songs ever. the background music is so bossing. The story line that goes with it just brings out the true pain of the teller. Really worth listening to, glad this song has so many views. Not enough music like this is heard by the ears.
One of the realest songs I've ever heard
I met Last Emp a few years ago, real cool cat. Definitely one of my fav MC's. Combine that with the lovely Esthero and the late Poetic and you've got a match made in heaven, which is more Poetic is at now. RIP, my man.
one of the greatest lycrics i have ever heard have always come from the Last Emp
if you ever here Charlie and Single Mother
both sick songs
RIP Poetic
miss them old days Emp
The last emperor is one of the best if not the best underground rapper from US
2020 and still comeback to this song. Pure gem.
this master peace am glad i lived dring the last emperor reigh
❤
Too Poetic. Simple as that really. Never did an artists name sum up the individuals talent better. Possibly the greatest man to ever pic up a mic. The only hip-hop track that takes me close to tears every time I hear it.
R.I.P. Grym
i went to the deadbeats hip hop festival about fifteen years ago an they gave out a mix with this tune,the most beautiful hip hop tune ever made,bless all crew,i been breakdancin,beat box,la lockin,roboticks,makin rymes since 83 old punk dread still lovin it !this song helped me!
well i'm 62, spent a lot of time on the sea, and i like yer tunes! good on ya! this is rap? i like it!
Already in a melancholy mood, the song pushed the tears out.
When you knew this song back a while, and search "life" in youtube and see this, you know this is the video im gonna go. A masterpiece
Real rap and one of the saddest songs i have ever heard it talks about life and it could end anyday To bad we dont have real music these days. R.I.P Too Poetic
A of a bests Mc's on a last track together, what a wonderfully tragiclly moment😢❤❤❤
There should be an exception for this song. No dislike button, or like button, but a love button.
I would say THE most deep track in the history of Hip Hop. This shit wanna make me change the way i live ya know...eat more healthy, put more positive things out in the world. Its one life...we aint got no second chance. damn
one of my favorite...AMAZING
RIP Too poetic, your lyrics will always give me strength.
listening 2020...lock-down blues
Word, this is real poetic rap, with meaning. Gives me a second thought on life everytime I hear it. Last Emporer is easily in my top 5 because he's not only very creative and expansive with his raps, but he's legit and sick flow too, drops mad knowledge.
"Dawn, help me, I aint feeling too healthy" --- Good fucking God I broke down when he said that.. reminds me of going to my sister when I was struggling
Doesn't get more real then this!very very powerful!rest in Peace too poetic!
so sad but yet lyrical, never had heard of the last of emp and poetic, RIP, now they are in my top 10. true hip-hop
This track hitting deeper even more now that my aunt is dying of cancer. 😢 Very deep by two very highly underrated Emcees. RIP Grym.
