I'm grateful to every person who has listened and supported in the past or currently. We can reflect on the art forever etched... -Ubi
Met you VIP 2013 at the Midland in KC.. you guys opened and it was fuckin incredible. Unfortunate on what went down, but Ubi, the best has yet to come. Big things coming your way. Thank you for helping me get thru my dark days
This shit Hurt. Thank you Ubi
Ty ubi
Find it
We always gonna support ✊️ 13 years strong and ain't going no where!
I like the seven chakras call back
My favorite ces cru song. It's gotten me through so many hard times that I just wanted to give up or explode. Their music was so powerful
Good thing he spoke on the elephant in the room. Being silent about this in music is deafening. Ubi has been doin his thing and it's been awesome
CES Cru used to be my Strange favorite, right alongside Tech and Krizz. Thank you for all the years of wonderful music, wish you all the best in the future!
Peak Strange Music times back then. Like right after they released their Cypher songs, it went downhill
@@razeeal it's wild how the strangeulation cypher was basically *the* peak of Strange Music, everyone working together and rapping about how they're a family and going to be together forever
It takes a true friend to speak the cold hard truth to the loved ones that are doing bad. ❤
Godi was a huge light in the dark for me. I genuinely believe that he will course correct. Being intelligent can be a blessing and a curse.
real
This one hits deep UBI..
Man the lighting immediately made me think of Seven Chakras
im sure that was the point, and the lights turning off and getting out of that world and showing the reality, its more than metaphorical
I think the callbacks are:
Seven Chakras lighting and everything at the start
Spitting to the mirror like in the Pharmacy video
Thing on the TV superimposed like in Letterman
Spitting while walking around a house like in Letterman
Maybe the other ones are resemblances more than intentional callbacks cause their videos are often filmed similarly
I can see how this video is reminiscent of seven chakras at the beginning and it really hits home for someone who’s been listening for years since highschool
Dude always had mad vocabulary and flows for days so I'm excited for this new project.
Powerful.
Constant Energy Struggles x Conglomerate Elements of Self-Conciseness x Capture Enemy Soldiers.
CES, Thank You.
you can just tell from the relics he keeps in his house that this was everything to him, and that must make that hurt much deeper.
Love how you transition from a "set" like a music video. Then to just go into your house. Showing how this whole situation isn't just a rap/ career thing. But it's a personal experience you had to go though. It "hit home" Powerful
You were part of the reason I made it through my middle/high school years. CES constantly exceeding standards n Strange music really gave me the strength to be myself and be okay not fitting in. And it continued to help me on into early adulthood, But then I grew up fast when covid hit, and looked at the business structure, I see the smoke/mirrors + half hearted nonsense from leadership. All that aside the bars were fire and thats what kept me hooked. Unfortunately TOG knew this and instead of using that as passion to further innovate and dominate the industry like was said - instead started to take it for granted, treating the fanbase like they were less than even though they helped build up the best brand. Tech earned his gold flake steaks in the city he reps, all love and respect to the G who did the work - my issue is with Travis and how Strange has been mismanaged. Ubi with how strong you've stood by the label you 110% deserved fk that EARNED a spot on Face Off. But idk why they didn't see that and pushed Joey Cool instead.
The music helped me grow, I will always remember those foundational moments, growing up summer 2013 in a small oregon town - smoking some bammer weed and scraping pipes for resin to split amongst the homies lol. Now im all grown up 25 with a career in sales, I don't listen to music as much as I used to but i still make time to spin a few tracks and UBI your solo album is always in rotation 🔥 if anybody actually read this long comment here's a cookie, I love life and wish you well n positive vibes from Oregon 🍪
much love brother.
Gotta tell you guys, I was lucky enough to meet and hang with UBI when he came into my brewery in Ogden Utah while on the ¡MAYDAY! Believers 10 tour. He is one of the kindest, most genuine, and humble humans out there. He deserves all his success and more. To open up about something like this to your fans must take so much strength and courage. Keep doing your thing UBI, we’ll all be here to support.
My heart is breaking and can’t hold back my tears! You guys were my biggest inspiration and support in my darkest moments and your words made me feel untouchable and helped me find my way back home.❤
Bro. Seven chakras got me through so much. Thank you for this one. We needed this. We are praying for you Godi. You need a 180 brotha. And the smart fans know not to blame you Ubi
My chest tightens when I listen to this song 😔😞💚 Ces Cru 4ever
Oh shit. I mean the track itself was not only necessary, but so well executed man. The fact that we're getting a video for it to actually see your face as you say the shit is.. yeah. As a veteran ces fan this is such a bittersweet song. It sucks to hear songs like this, Stepping Stone about D12 is the most recent track that's given me this feeling. Like I appreciate you going out of your way to tell us your side, and in such a dope way, but the situation as a whole sucks.
Sad song and a sad situation.
Still love Ces Cru, and wishing the best for both of you!
We love you Godi!
😢the end of a beautiful chapter... despite everything godemis I love you ubi I love you ces I love you. Well, let's turn the page.❤
Thank you. I can only see and hear and feel from where I stand, but Ubi sound and feel like he is on a healing journey soul and brother in hand. Love you ces curse the planet named goddam
Got me in tears man, I've loved following your work all these years, and I'm so fucking thankful for the memories through this video. Seeing you and Godi perform at the FIllmore with Tech and Krizz Kaliko in like 2016 was a highlight of my hip hop journey, and I will forever cherish my signed Catostrophic Event Specialists, that's a grail. Wishing you all the best with your coming album!
Ubi channeled his seven chakras in this music video 🙏🏽💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn visuals got me tearing up all over again. I'm so sorry UBI you didn't deserve to go thru this all.
Your Phoenix has burned, it's time for your rise!!
A phoenix resurrects, yes, but not before it burns... 🥵
All love UBI CESCRU forever
Ces Cru was my first concert when they came through Omaha. My signed CD has since been stolen but i still remember that wonderful night. Much love 🧡
Ubi underrated he been killing it for years this heat and amazing 🔥🔥🔥😮👏👏
simple, sweet, and effective.
you did your thing Ubi!
Can't imagine what this has put you through Ubi. Thank you.
Godi, we miss you man.
Fuck. End of an era for sure. As much as I feel listening to this is probably only a fraction of what he felt writing and recording this. All love and thanks for the inspiration.
Damn man I dont even know what to say. Catastrphic Event Specialists is one of my favoritre albums ever still listening to it on a regular basis. Ces Cru has been a huge part of my life. I wish both you and Godemis the best and life and I am excited for the album and all the great music to come.
Man Ces Cru has always been my favorite. The more I listened to them the deeper I saw their discography go, it was so fun listening to all their songs over and over again. Been bumping for like 10 years now
May peace find Godemis.
Onward for Ubi & Ces was a dope Cru while we had it.
One love
Wow I somehow magically caught the premiere for this video and PHEWWW, the Seven Chakras ode in the beginning of the video was beautiful. All around great one-take visual, and man just what a deep song. We all appreciate the transparency Ubi. Ces will definitely live on in many of our memories forever 🙏🏼
Long live UBI!
You guys together are truly something special. I have been wondering what's been going on since the whole scam thing, thank you for shedding some light on this because we do miss you guys, but we want Godi to want Godi to get better.
Much love, you've been killing it too man, doing your own thing. I bought Under Bad Influence as soon as it came out
I remember my brother putting me on to Strange and Ces Cru and was and have been a fan ever since. Its been quite the journey bro! Glad to see how far you have come! This video made me shed a tear man but i feel like it was necessary to move FWD ❤
SWEAR UBI ONE OF THE ONLY DUDES THAT CAN STILL BRING ME SO NEAR TO TEARS WITH HIS PEN 🔥😔 GODI WILL RETURN
This record is art in its purest form.
Hope to see you live again soon. Stay up. ☝️❤️
Thank you this.... I love ces cru... hope he hears this. I did....✌💜🐍🦇
Godemis we love you bro and want you to do what we see in you. And Ubi keep loving your people it’s so easy to turn your back on the friends that people say are unlovable.
this hits hard. the seven charas vibe and the fact that it's prod by Seven brings back memories.
The fans love you both as long as our hearts keep beating and then some more. Thank you both 🫶🏼
That phoenix line was fire (pun intended)
You the perfect rolemodel for kids man. Never stop creating.
I opened for you guys in 2015 when Dion brought you guys to casselmans before they closed and again in 2017 when we sold out the roxy. I know they only held 500 cap at the time but i sold 135 tickets as local support and was turning people down left and right that ended up not being able to get in at the door either because it was sold the fuck out.. that was one of the funnest nights i had during a run under a moniker that i laid to rest myself; with people ill never do business or perform with again. so i know what it feels like to let go of things and people you really cared about surrendering to the unkowns of life reflecting back on what the fuck actually just happened...it's a trip. Funny how many things run parallel on different levels. Salute from one Colorado native to another. Much love
heavy song, im glad it got visuals
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I watched 6 hours of shitty local openers to see yall tear the place down. Much love to you for keeping it going
Ubi.. thank you for this.. from a long time ces and strange music fan.
This is ubi matured. Fan service as well as tough love to the fans. True love to the craft and his partner. Fuck.
This is a master piece 🎉salute 🫡🙏🏾💯
THANKS FOR THIS MELLOW ONE.. TRUTH AND HARD
I seen ubi spitting freestyles in the line at the Monroe in (Grand Rapids mi) was such a humble guy,great personality, he crushed it on stage that night stood out from the rest of the groups, keep it up, love your style it’s been a helpful for me to keep pushing away the bad people for myself!
I still regularly listen to Capture Enemy Soldiers. Crazy to think how long I've been enjoying your music. Whatever comes next I'll be listening ✌️
This hit the heart man. True words spoken very well. 💜
Thank you for everything Ubi! You have been my biggest inspiration and continue to still be my inspiration next to Eminem,Pac and all the greats!
Much love
The ozark trailers looking fire, can not wait to watch the show
This is your best song now real meaning real impact this and pharmacy
Time heals all, I hope. Keep doing your thing Ubi, you're a samurai with the pen. Hopefully Godemis makes an avengers level come back some day. CES!
Simply incredible
I love it UBIQUITOUS. I HOPE that GODI hears this. We all struggle. UBI is speaking real shit for his brother.
This song gave me goosebumps...
I needed this song. Been awhile since I've reflected on Ces. What a time.
I haven’t heard a song this good in years. I hope you keep a solo career my guy. I’ll support 100%
I love you UBI. I've been waiting to hear from you, wasn't sure I would. I'll always be a supporter of the man that brought me what you could.
I came to a meet and greet in Fresno years ago as a member of the street team for SM. Of all the names on the ticket, I was most exited to meet you guys. When I got up to you, you were super respectful, shook my hand, thanked me for the street team work. You were a pleasure to meet. Godi however, was sitting cross legged on the floor half asleep or something. I always told myself he was probably feeling sick or not feeling well mentally, but hearing this puts that experience in perspective. I hope he gets the help he needs, and I hope you can flourish now that you are free from that situation.
This is so so so so so so good.
My dog stay up big homie
well done, Ubi!👑👏
Godi has so much talent it’s sad to see what happened to him. I hope he gets the help he needs even if the artist we knew is gone forever. I quit rapping and doing coke around the same time, those drugs kill your creativity once they’re gone.
Thank you Ubi for still caring.
I lift up Godemis with positive vibes and also you!
hardwork throughout a lifetime shared is the most attractive thing to my soul.
Your dedication, obedience, integrity and compassion has and will continue to provide a spark to light a fire in my soul.
Blessings brother🙏🏽
P.s. tell tech n9ne I said… “Elbow Macaroni “ pls 😜
P.s.s.
You are an elite lyricist. But you probably already knew this.
Thanks for being my favorite emcee!!
Yo I'm so sorry I was one of many that fed him in the wrong way on tour I was him got better I hope he dose the same one day I wish the best for you him and ces in the end sooo much love for both of yall thank you for this song after meany years of wondering
Deep, I hope he hears it too!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😢 hits deep man, nothing stays the same it's all bound to change someday
I believe the day I met you was the first show without him. But by the end of the show CES was still there . . Much love
"A phoenix resurrects ... yes .... but not before it burns... " -UBI
This is why I'm a lifelong ubi fan.
Great song, poweful message. Forever love the old Ces, the new Ubi & hope Godi can course correct one day!
This is a beautiful letter. Thank you for who you are and how you do. Been listening since 2011 and for what it's worth, thank you for this. Looking forward to this coming project.
You never fail to impress! Looking forward to more
Yeah. I know Donnie or godemis can make it out the hole. You make me cry on my phone with this one. I didn't know there was video. I've been listen to it on Spotify. I'm happy you made visuals.

Man, I remember when I met you guys at one of the strange music shows in Ohio. You guys were super nice to us. I wish y'all nothing but success.
Man that shit hit me hard. Great expression here, hope nothing but the best for the both of you. Wildly underrated duo.
MUCH LOVE!
I even felt that one in my own way.
This song... this one hits deep... very deep 💔
Thank you my brother 🙏🏾
