    " Im cool like Nat king Cole"
    This song has the right message for young men.
    1. Be Clean
    2. Be educated
    3. Be ready to defend yourself
    4. Be the Man God made you to be.

      I agree with Andrew Hope, it never went away; it just went into hiding with most. If everyone starts dressing like this or close to it (some type of way without sagging (can't stand that, ugh) or looking like they didn't care when they put their wardrobe together) it can populate, and be the norm (please God).

      Its cause the Elites probably didn't allow it. Especially cause all the followers he got of this one song. They probably saw him as a threat? Think about it? Especially him being a Brother! You can tell he's a natural born leader! The Industry black balled him cause of it. He has other songs that should of hit like this one especially like the song long live the chief and etc. Look up his music and do the research your self you'll see what I'm talking about.

    You people are missing the concept of the video, he said it's okay to look classic and decent. He's not singing about drugs or game members or any of that. I like the fact that in the video he showed you you don't have to act like a stereotype, he show them a better outlook. he's dressing modern Version of what classic look like from casual perspective.

      Devani Hannigan /Zebra I would assume the message is to be classic (Original), in the video it shows how he is EVERY man. He can be in the hood and relate yet he carries himself in a way that is effective to get on the police officers level as well. He took the boys to do something positive after they were let go. Thats is CLASSIC!! Something u dont find anymore these days. In the barber shop their was a sigh that read "I AM A MAN". With all the phony, fruity ish going on today to me.....these are MESSAGES that need to be spread!! Their were several in there to me. In order for ur stuff to hit main stream u have to know how to get what ur saying in, in a different way. You have to want to see the message there. (Not saying you specifically but just speaking in general). I love this song/video and its def one of the VERY few songs out there that I can jam with my sons to. Just like Aloe Blacks song Im the man. We need more music like it!! #Point blank
