Here in 2023! This song still hits! Just want to let everyone know that all of our trials and tribulations are for our good and growth. I’m Still standing I’m still here!
This should be the worldwide Asthma Anthem, i relate to everything Pharaohe says on this song. Having suffered as an asthma kid through out my childhood till almost 15. This song is powerfull when i remember all i went though , trips to the hospital at midnight on mommas back (from a 3rd world where healthcare is a challenge), hospitalised for days. Now am standing a grownup adult and Asthma is behind me. Still when i hear this song, it makes me appreciate my moms everyday.
One of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite artists and today, it literally made me burst into tears. Here's to all of you reading this. To Mr. Troy Donald Jamerson and everyone involved in this masterpiece. For everyone in the struggle, 2020, the movements across the globe. I love you and keep STANDING
I relate to this song so much, and it makes me burst into appreciative tears every time. For me, it's chest pains instead of asthma, and still standing after me and brother losing our parents when I was 8 and him 6 , and im so proud to say we are still standing real proud 🤠😎💯👊🏾
An absolute masterpiece even in 2023. The production is top-notch, the rap lyrics are sharp and on point, and the hook ties it all together. Then Jill bodies it at the end. Incredibly well-put-together track. No cursing, no gangsters, no twerking or thot behavior. Timeless!!!
And because it deals with real things and not a comic book version of reality that's why people like this will never be huge. Except to those who know where to look and hear things worth hearing and not foolishness meant to tease and please superficially. There's a whole history of music crammed in here.
When I saw him live for the first time, he had an asthma attack on stage. He got Boogie Blind to entertain us for 5 minutes then came back out and destroyed the mic for another half hour. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to
"But I gotta keep a few punch lines just in case 'cause even you unsigned rappers are hungry, looking at me like it's lunchtime, I know there was a time when once I was king of the underground, but I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind" - eminem I bet youre proud monch.
Pharoahe Monk is 1 of the LAST OF A SMALL HANDFUL OF ARTISTS THAT DOESN'T TAKE HIS GIFT FOR GRANTED.....STILL STANDING FROM ORGANIZED KONFUSION DAYS TILL NOW.........KEEP MAKING THE MUSIC THAT CHALLENGE THE MIND TO THINK BROTHER........
Pharoahe Monch's rhyme scheme are unparalleled and his word plays intertwined with that deep rooted CONSCIOUSNESS is what separates him from the commercial sale outs that kids coin their heroes... our heroes are Pharoahe Monch, Jill Scott, Nas, Erykah Badu, Killah Priest, Indie Arie, Black Dove, Aretha Franklin, Talib Kweli, Diana Ross, K-Rino, Lauryn Hill, Cormega, Anita Baker, AZ, Gladys Knight, Mos Def, and so forth.
This one def moved my soul. Pharoahe been slept on forever. Can't believe this didn't get airplay over the garbage we get force fed on a daily. I'm glad the real hip hop heads know whats up tho !!!
You know why this is Hip Hop and you can feel the emotion in this song? its because they use real instruments and no auto tuning and when you use real instruments who ever is playing it can bring out so much powerful emotion than any electronic equipment can and thats why I love Hip Hop man...this guy is still standing for Hip Hop alone and I respect him for that.....Go get the album "W.A.R"

I love this song..I can relate so much because when I was going through the BS and hell I was going through, thanks to family, friends and knowledge, I made it out. Now I am focused on being a better person and this is a testament to rising above and standing strong...Thank you Pharoahe for putting together this amazing song and helping brothas like me.
great song. It is so sad that 106 and park won't play these types of videos. Instead they play young money videos all day. The song has a very powerful message. Conscious hip hop is the best form of hip hop. Conscious hip hop can help the world. This song needs to be on tv.
You have no idea how much i need to hear that right now. Affirmation music for sure. I was ready to give up, but I know I still got fight left in me. This joint dug deep and gave me the boost I needed. The difference btw an entertainer and an artist is the artist understands how to responsibly use their gift.
Stand strong, stand firm brother! There will be many battles, do not be afraid of the pain. The pain will make you relish your many victories to come. We are forged in fire, we don't burn.
Music isn't sports where you have a short period of time to be good. As long as you have air in your lungs and brain function you'll always be musical... Stay blessed
These type of jams has true meanings when it comes to real life. So glad that this tune came out. You won't find it on those other nonsense that is mainstream garbage.
One of Hip-Hop's unsung heroes...love this brother for what he stands for, and the music that he makes; and, I am definitely pleased to see him "Still Standing", no doubt...
respect always to pharoahe monch ! since cuba [ my country ] always being a big fan of him ! saw him live in 2007's coachella , what a moment for me ! never forget ..saw him again in miami hip hop fest , front row standing , around 3 pm , he played like a champ ..much love and respect to him !
I graduated college 2 months ago and had too many people wishing me to fail throughout my studies. This song reminded me that nothing stands in my way as long as I "still standing." Pharoahe Monch, you are the reason many people don't give in to corruption. If that wasn't the case, I would've have been standing today. You truly are an inspiration. Thank you.
The park scenes were filmed in my birthtown Sunset Park, Brooklyn. I remember when it was me running like the kids here. Great memories and great video. WAR is my album of the year for 2k11. Mad Props for Pharoahe
Myself bipolar1 coming across Monch, helps me get thru the day. And Locksmith too...the best hiphip is out there yet ppl still falling for ''hiphock'' I think Rev Valentine called it and that's all that mainstream is...so much respect bc whether mental illness or physical drug induced illness I've been there so hearing it come out knowing I'm not alone, I'm still standing at the end of another day.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL SONG ANTHEM! EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT PUMPS ME UP! IT IS HELP ME TO GET THROUGH THE SHIT I AM GOING THROUGH! HOLD TO MY FAITH AND YES, I AM STILL STANDING!
Whether you’re religious, a believer or neither; we all can relate to the fall and rise. A truly powerful and tear jerking song. Props to Monch for touching our souls.
OMG...thank you!!!!!!!!!. This video and words of widsom gives me strength to keep going when I'm about to fall. It picks me up everytime. "I'm Still Standing". Pharoache, awesome!!! Jill>>>speechless as usual, you are awesome too. Wiping away my tears...thank you.
This song is powerful. It has soo much movement,dang. Needs to be a National Anthem.
I swear Jill Scott is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes 👀 on she just glows always
One of the Most Underrated lyricist of my generation!! Pure DOPE! This track is FIRE!
it is his flow 💯n the beat gives me chills😥🔥🔥💯👍
Babygirl I feel you, that beat is so Dope! Jill's vocals are special
...and honey is beautiful, my goodness!!!
Pharaoh gets his praise... A lot of rappers name him as their favorite, but really all in all they’re inspired by Kool G Rap.
Lyrically scary.. honestly pharoahe is an absolute monster the way he bends words and his technical ability
Here in 2023! This song still hits! Just want to let everyone know that all of our trials and tribulations are for our good and growth. I’m Still standing I’m still here!
