I wish he had spit this to a different beat, its to pop his style. Its not whack but it definately isn't good either. "No I'm not from houston but I rap-a-lot" :( How many times have you heard that punchline?

Tha chorus pulled me in and had me nodding my head, then about 35 seconds into the flow it just got wack as fuck.

He shoulda left this beat alone, these are the wackest bars I've heard on this beat to be honest with you.

Oh yeah, go out and support that Webbie album on Tuesday "Savage Life 2". Savage Life was a southern classic.

If you know you ain't gon buy the album at least try to give it a listen or sumthin. I guarantee you'll see Webbie ain't no weak ass commercial ass nigga like yall thought.

Yall might not like what I say, but you gotta respect it, oh yeah, and before I even have to say it again.

Fuck you HempsteadNY for any future comments you gotta make towards me.

His Style Ain't Meant To Be Used On This Beat. This Type Of Beat For Tha South. When This Shyt Come On(Tha Original Version) At Tha Club Hoez Go Crazy. I even peeped 1 Of Them 25 plus Only To Enter(Got Tha Conect) Clubs And Them muhfuccahz Was Gettin It To This Song. It Was A Shot Though At Least For Him To Come Out Of His Normal Elements And try To Spit To This Beat. It Ain't All That Bad Honestly. SCREAM AT ME,1..

Wow. You unloyal muthafuckaz.
He just named most of the indie labels off in one verse and shouted out half the black owned companies in the game.
You dont have to like or appreciate it but thats crazy skill.
He had to use a down south beat because he was shouting out the southern indie labels.
He even dissed the new york corporate giants at the end.
Kweli is that nigga.

How am I unloyal by not liking the song, I've PURCHASED EVERY TALIB ALBUM thats ever came out, and promoted it in the streets around me. I'm not a fan of alot of rappers but Talib as always is the expection. But whack is whack and this song is whack.

I just threw it out there cuz. I didnt point no fingers.

The song might not cater to his style but whack is a harsh word to use on a nigga like talib kweli.

Once again, he used this beat because he was shoutin out the southern indie labels. Aint a fuckin thing whack about it.

Aw. Ok. So you can't say this song is wack because it's Talib Kwali. I get it.

I knew yall niggas be doing that shit. Saying shit wack because of the nigga on the song, and then saying it's hard if it's a nigga you like.

Fake ass niggas. You just figure you cant say the track is wack because it's Talib Kweli? Get the fuck outta here. Wack song with a wack concept. Gethip I just lost all respect for your opinion.

His flow is normally faster than this. I think that's why it sounds so awkward. Plus the beat isn't his normal style.
