Heard this for the first time on Fight Night Round 4. The game alone brings me back to those days, but once this song hits it just teleports me to a timeless place....one of the greatest tracks of all time.
Same here bro, man that game was my shit in high school. This song and a few others from that sound track are timeless classics. That Brooklynn we go hard track
As a 40+ man, i have a lot to say about hip hop vs rap vs gangsta rap vs trap rap vs mumble rap. This man here is the rebirth of HIP HOP! To bad (just like Sean Price) I've outgrown hip-hop and missed out on this when it was new. I trully missed out.
29 here. I’ve thought I’ve grown out of hip hop or so I’ve thought several times. This guy was recently recommended to me and I gotta say he’s a direct clone of other artists like Nas and MF Doom. Their flow gets boring after a while. As a 40+ check out Aesop Rock. He’s around your age and is more his own breed of musician than he is a rapper - although he’s arguably the greatest of all time at straight up rapping
47 here. I hear you on that RB. The decline of actual talent, creativity, musicianship, and diverse thought in rap along with my own evolution as a man, husband and father, keeps me away from listening to it but it's refreshing to know that someone else is out there giving a crack at something different.
@@maxwell3814 hip-hop has been sold and sold out. Now it's just a tool to keep young Black male feminized and stupid. Feminized outfits, garbage subject matter and little to no flow. Very few artists are actually artists. And the few who are, go nowhere. The baddest rappers I'm hip-hop based on lyrics and subject matter are Tom McDonald's and Marlon Craft. No diss to J.Cole and Joyner Lucas, but as of lately compare lyrics and tell me who are the better more well rounded artists. And be honest.
@@RB-ub9ht Lmao dude your main issue with hiphop rn is its keeping young black men down, then you go and recommend a clown like Tom Macdonald? What? And as for modern hip hop "feminizing" people, artists have been playing with gender in their outfits for 50+ years now, its nothing new. Prince, Little Richard, Michael Jackson, and even white artists like David Bowie, the whole glam rock era, etc. Millions grew up on that stuff in the 70s & 80s and it didn't "feminize" anyone. Its artistic expression dude. Sorry its not what you grew up on, but its nothing to be afraid of
Going to Israel at the end of the year have truly given my life over to the most high just turned 40 let a wife. This song always made me think about God even when I was in my early 20’s when I first heard it not it means so much more. I pray I can like prophets and Yeshua but o hope I can leave something deep for the next generation like this man jay electronics left for us
Have you ever listened to just a beat that you cried so warm in your heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Respect a Goat
I know better, but he does not sound like a New Orleans rapper. No disrespect to New Orleans but his delivery, topics, and flow is one of the dopest I've ever heard
@@BongiJewu-rg7npthat’s not why lol .. that’s just like saying Mac from No Limit spent his time in the east coast and he didn’t even wanna sign with Def Jam.. Mac, Jay, and Mystikal just know hip hop but still kept it true to their New Orleans roots
"life is like a dice game/one roll can land you in jail/or cutting cake/blowing kisses in the rice rain. Still to this day is the most powerful bar I've ever heard...and I'll happily die on that hill. That and the Shawshank bar are top 2 ever. This song was so important for hip hop back then it's ridiculous.
Absolutely a beautiful track. Just Blaze’s production is one of his best. He’s still progressing after all of these years. And the montages just add to the intelligent carnage that Jay just blessed us with. This joint is for real.
Jay’s music makes the world a better place and that is the definition of success!!! 🛸 I can’t wait for the day I can work with Jay Man!!!! Salute sir 💎🧘♂️🍵👁🌳☀️🙏🏻✌️🎤📻🕺
When I first heard this, it was a moment that sticks with me till this day. Timeless music! This came out and then I went to see at the Jazz Cafe London about a month later. This must have been back in 2009. Memories!
So much of what you write goes unnoticed. The sound of slot machines in the background. "A $2000 government *cheque from FEM-.* I swam down, *shits creek,* and came up, clean." *$Cha-Ching$* All in a song with a constant theme of gambling. Genius.
WAIT A MINUTE! I have heard this song before! I thought I had never heard Jay Electronica before today, but I didn't know the name or artist of this song!- Wed, Oct 14 2020
Now go google ever person on this song and understand what he was saying that what make this song so special and no one can take that away best song any rapper ever put out
Upload the full mastered version with Mos and your extra verse please "the elegant art form of rhyming's just blinding" This is the best hip hop beat of all time btw. thank you
2024 classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If he does NOTHING ELSE ever again, there's always this.
And over 100 other songs we good Ohio stand up
Yep
He just disappeared when Jay-Z signed him
@@dreddabarber6315 pretty much
@dreddabarber6315 cause he helping jay write his shit
The song that started the long, and winding trip down the rabbit hole...
Frank-Robert Akubuilo ever since I first heard it in fight night round 4 back in 2009
Lol yep. Fight Night Round 4. I remember vividly.
This is my theme music on every WWE 2k game and Fight Night Champion
Jay Electronica is the GOAT
@@chriscurtis5616 how do you play it in fight night champion?
One of the most underrated spitters ever.
Piano ending hits too hard, what a masterpiece of a song.
No doubt
this is probably thee most underrated rap I've ever heard

Man i thought Elect was about to BLOW
This song is amazing
That Shawshank bar is one of the coldest punchlines in hiphop history.
Which line was it?
@@robliberachi “I swam down shits creek and came up a clean with a new lease on life like Andy Dufresne”.
@@Unclejack328 FIRE!!!!
@@proprince244 Bars!!! It really hits because of his backstory dealing with Katrina.
It truly is. This whole song is more gospel than hip-hop.
Respect the architect never test the Elohim 🤯🎶💪🏾
All we can do is thank this man
That all 😮
Fight night 4 will always be special in my heart 💯
Playin fight night round 4 brought me back here 🔥🔥
Here listening to 🔥 2024
“You can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at….”
APTTMH 🔥🔥👑👑
@@bobbypittmanjrttee1001 Cold Line!!! 🥶
That’s that 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such an incredible song, easily the most underated artist of our generation
no question
I agree but he kinda did it to himself. Wasn't dropping anything.
@@SaudiSymbol if he really was dating that rothschild woman then I don't blame him. He already won.
@@SaudiSymbolI don't feel like he have to. We should be happy with what he's blessed us with
I can’t say he’s underrated but AMAZING for sure
2024 my ears are still eating this masterpiece!
Still crazy how this changed my flow forever.
The fade to piano at the end is lovely
Brings tears to my eyes it's so beautiful
"I'm sittin pretty spitting FLAMEs
Grippin grains.. Aint A Dayum thang changed "!
timeless lyrics, timeless production that sold me.
what is this beautiful scenery and sick rhymin'
One of the best woke out here Jay Elec!! I'm listening to anything you offer! 🔥

Went to the local guitar store and they gave me a copy of this song.
I'm having this played at my Funeral..🙏💯

Respect a Goat
I know better, but he does not sound like a New Orleans rapper. No disrespect to New Orleans but his delivery, topics, and flow is one of the dopest I've ever heard
He spent a lot time on the East Coast, so
I get what you saying But the whole song bout the N.O.

This song was the reason why I started calling myself the Elohim when I rap. All respect to Jay Electronica
So much potential…..
now this is what i call music.
This woke up my soul 💯
Beautiful track
Legendary vibes. Hustlers anthem.

Shot out to Jay's conglomerates, for saving hiphop.
Although this song doesn't need a feature, I would love to hear a Nas verse on this.
There's a few remixes with Most Def, Black Thought and Jay Z.
Dog through the internet and they'll pop up.
