My mom was in the ICU when this album dropped..a few days prior she had just bought me my ticket to go see Q on the oxymoron tour in 2014 and she knew how excited i was for this album to drop...she later had a brain aneurism and i would find myself spending 10 days in the hospital by my moms bedside with my family and friends until we painfully had to say goodbye....when i tell yall you dont know what this song and album mean to me is a TRUE understatement!! Thank you schoolboy Q for getting me through the most hardest time of my life!...Rest in paradise Momma🙏🏽
The visual metaphor just hit me. He’s playing piano in the darkness so his daughter can play in the light. Props to the director, that’s extremely dope
xTKxIN3CTEDx This video had around 8 million views when you made this comment. I'm pretty sure the like per view ratio was still about the same. So underrated? not really.
Q said in a interview that he doesn't like shooting music videos in the hood because his enemies might figure out where they stay and shoot his homies up. That is some real shit. Respect to Q.
+ipZyy Thats not a new thing. Many gangster rappers do that. I knew some cat back in ewa beach that was dumb enough to not do that and police knocked on his door cause he was cooking crack in his video. ahahahah. dumb kids. But dont assume im a thug or gangster, i may be wrong. gew up round them but i aint cut for that life hahah
+Ty Outler no he is, seeing how kendrick always has the limelight and ppl constatnly look at Q as a "kendrick underling" when in reality they both hold their own positions without each others help
Ty Outler nah bro u dont even kknow, ppl thinkin kendricks the only one who "saved" hip hop.. even though i fucking hate it when ppl say that.. like honest we have jay rock, ab soul, underachievers, flatbush, mick jenkins, kirk knight, joey badass, lupe fiasco, danny brown, ETC how is that not proof enough that hip hop is in its prime lmao
god, I miss the early 2010s of music, the internet, and the culture. I swear something changed in 2016, everything became so shit and dark. Life used to be so amazing and fun; now all we got was an accelerated time and it seems every year is flying by incredibly fast. I remember when this dropped, I was only 15... I will forever love Q for the amazing songs he dropped in the 2010s.
The "internet" rap was at the high level at this point. Kendrick, Drake, and J Cole were setting themselves at the top of the new generation mainstream wise, still had guys like Wale and Big Sean making super quality music, guys like An Soul, Joey Badass, Mac Miller .....they were all incredible. The thing is they were ALL RAPPERS. Now IDK what you can call these artist. 🤣
This song is so real. From the bangin beat, to the dope flow & real lyrics, to the catchy hook. Even the fucking video is sick.. The song just sounds timeless, that's the making of a classic.
That's Q... always fresh and fun to hear... Always banging no matter how light hearted,..... Timeless... the dude NEVER gets old.. Ive tried wearing his music out and cannot do it.. LOL. I just wanna 2 step with him. :)
Before, time would pass slow when you were bored and fast when you were having fun. Now? Feels like no matter what you do time is trickling inbetween your fingers, i'm about to blink and be 30.
nyeeezy That's besides the fucking point. I knew someone was going to say something ruining/stupid like this. He's still in his daughters life. That's all that matters. That's what I was gettin' across.
Dropped when I was in the 10th grade, I smoked alot of tree to this joint. The early 2010s was like the 90s, the high top fades, the drip back then, man we were living back then. RIP $teelo, Mac Miller, and Nip man.
Been so depressed for so long, so fucking long and I forgot how much the whole tde crew brought me joy. I was asleep and this started playing and woke me up and I felt joy again for a brief moment. Thanks. Thank you for that. No one speaks to me. But you and tde did when I was asleep and made me feel not alone.
You're never alone man it feels that way but there's a path for you and you're gonna look back at the times your felt were bad and wonder why you were ever worried, trust me. Just never turn to drugs... Never a good consultant.
@@treyrahman nah ice t gave credit to schoolie d.. relax .. it started in Philadelphia.. ice t elevated it and NWA took it world wide .. but do not disrespect the origins B .. but we all understand that the west coast has real gang culture.. we give yall that
2023, we all are here just to experience the joy that we experienced years ago!! Life is getting harder and harder boys and girls, I hope you get through it. Everybody has problems but music connects people like nothing else, don’t let modern society separate us from each other ♥️♥️ Stay safe, stay blessed, stay healthy! Love♥️
Remember theirs beauty in the pain and struggle. Let it be the reason to have compassion towards one another. We are all Humans, once you travel the world you understand everyone is the same just look a little different and sound a little different. We all want to be happy and live in peace . We can achieve such thing if we all as individuals work on ourselves for the benefit of ALL

ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS IN HIP HOP.... HISTORY
Anonymous Child i agree with you. This still my favourite song. joHn Muir comes close second, that track real as fuck

In my Top 10 of all time
Yeah it’s a classic
u def need recheck that, its a cool track. but def not the best in hip hop history... hahahaha LMFAO
The vibes for this song can’t not be matched in any other song! 💯

He also originally produced hoover street but tde changed it to sounwave's version.
NO SHIT! CRAZY! Love this song even more now!

We need more fathers like Q in this generation! I really liked this video.
Your 100% right about that, im making sure i'll be in my child's life when that time comes.
drug addicted fathers really..
just kidding.! Q!!
nyeeezy That's besides the fucking point. I knew someone was going to say something ruining/stupid like this. He's still in his daughters life. That's all that matters. That's what I was gettin' across.
Shit slammin cuh.
Straight nostalgia. Reminds me of when i thought drugs were cool. Now after listening to this 2 years outta rehab it gives me chills
I mean weed is cool. But keep it going bro you're in the right direction!

Oxymoron is a great album, you always gotta give albums more than one listen before you fall in love with it!
Always make sure to put his daughter in his videos. True dedication father figure. Respect to Schoolboy Q!
this song brings back so many memories from high school. The nostalgia is unreal
Heavy ass nostalgia, i can dead see the memories flashing when I hear it
The good old days. I wish you can realise you’re in the good times when you’re actually in them
man i hope this nigga keep making hits for a long time
This video reminds me of Boyz n the Hood, anyone else agree?
very much so man
Probably because this is basically the same area the movie was shot at
i was just thinking that!! or Menace II Society
Its southcentral L.A
It's because that's the alley Ricky got shot at in the movie
Shout out to the ones bumping Q in 2022!!! 💯✊👊👑❤️🔥🔥

Youre not alone family🙏🏽💪🏽
the Super Mario Toad sample. Al is a genius
Genius brought you here,huh?
this is my favorite song
Who else loves the beginning and the chorus?
Don't know what to think about the mouth noises at the beginning. Digusting or just trap ?
Q’s most underrated song from Oxymoron... this song such a bop
I hope I make it out the park! #2023
The thing I love about this music video. No flashy cars or mansions. Just a real video for some real ass lyrics
SchoolBoy Q is the only one, next to a few others, who actually make good music
Idk if it's because of Compton and L.A. in general, but all of TDE/Black Hippy have a 90's gangsta rap feel.
