For those who don't know... 2 years ago... This man lost a loved one, his wife and the mother of his only son to a battle with cancer. He didn't stop, didn't quit, Evidence persevered like a warrior. I can only imagine the pain he carries with him from that moment in time. Respect to you evidence and thank you for blessing us with your work. You are the definition of "chase the clouds away" 🙏🏻💯👊🏻 god bless you.
So consistent. So on point with using space in his delivery and saying a lot while saying a little. Nice reminder why he's one of my favorite Rhymesayers artists
Real shit this whole video takes you for a ride when you was growing up making you think on what you accomplished in life but still trying to accomplish your spot in life
Turning 30 this year 2023, swear I remember 15 years ago when I first heard Ev. Mr.SlowFlow and before that. Man, thanks Ev, you help us Real Heads get through the days now and then. Forever set in stone! EVIDENCE!
I think this on the Top 5 Evidence greatest songs list for sure. Crazy how he can still put out high quality stuff on this level being decades in the game
Dilated Peoples got me into Hip Hop in 2001, 20 years later you are still making beats to live my life too. Thank you, and what a perfect song for lockdown.
Woke up heavy in Introspection, insomnia taking its toll.. weary, taking a scroll down the stream, found the link....showed me the evidence we all need to drink.
Then stop to think, How can't I relate w speech. How can we raise the vibe enough for folks to see? But that's just me, questioning when I just need to leave things be.
@@morganlowe3353 this also is lovely, but its a shame we are inspired but then expire on our passion of desire to get in line with esquire just as we are about to soar higher
Consistently one of the best out there doing it for 20 plus years from Dilateds The Platform to Weather or Not and Brother Ali Secrets and Escapes. Salute Ev That Rhymesayers roster killing it again.
Been bumping ev since I was 12 I’m 23 now use to go bombing to his music now I’m raising a kid bumping his shit constantly... blessings CA alllll day ✌️
Lyrics_____ I woke up Put the phone down Put the mic up Said the first thing that came to mind Like I don't write much That's a lie, we all know it Making beats, doing it so I could show my people that I'm growing I don't cry much I love my people when I'm in their presence Nothing like community I don't lie much And that's a present Gift I'm unwrapping I'm unlearning Trip Jazz cigarettes I'm never done burning I get the one turning Start a new chapter And that's a testament A little lesson for the rest of them Running off an old model Trying to get some new results I unfollow A slow flower A go-getter Never been a no-shower Said this verse with my eyes closed And smell the scent through my nose I don't practice I rehearse it at the live show A young Miles, but what do I know? I don't know much I go through a lot And I ain't blowing up the spot To throw it all away, you gotta know what you got A lot of secrets that escaped me Living up to my potential where it takes me We all scared of the top We all scared if we flop We won't be riding these breakbeats like H-Street I need a lease for the next ten Feel like I'm destined Need a bird as my best friend I buy the book so I could follow the plot It's not a follow-up to Weather Or Not This its own shit Pistol grip pump with the chrome grip A lot of people tripping I tell 'em don't slip I tell 'em don't get shot I tell 'em Freestyle Fellowship, "Bullies Off The Block" The streets are watching and they hot Watch what you say The jealous watch when you drop I don't know much
Seweryn Krajewski, Ewa Demarczyk, Czeslaw Niemen, Marek & Wacek - some great polish artists out there when I pause the video at 0:05! Another amazing song, keep it up Ev, lots of love from the East!
This is really reason by answear and say .....your comment is like a Diamond because you not just Listening his track. You in in the same time keep wide eyes open and check's Vinyl record's collection in his room whoaaa . You wins bro . !!!!!!!!!!
you could start an Own- study, you now much, and feel much more than many others, over a decade you all showed the shadows of society too to be transformed, this is a precious work. so be proud and honored, you are a Lightworker and Warrior too cause you transform shadows. Greetings and love to you, Dilated united.
Hey Evidence. I'm a huge fan of Dilated Peoples but only just started following your solo career and man, your introspective lyrics give me faith in life.
I really needed this.. you always have the right word at the right time.. you’re a living legend Evidence. I will never be grateful enough for your poetry. To anyone reading: keep fighting, keep struggling, you will be awarded with what you desire and what best fits you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Had the first min and 30 on repeat for the last hour just when you think you can top throw it all away... dude you got a bird as your best friend I'm just riding that slipstream through the waves of time drifting x
I swoon for this man's soul , his heart , his dedication to his fam and his music always move's me . I traveled near and so so far to be just in the presence of this inspiration. And I would travel through this virus to see him again..his heart is always laid out on his tracks and that's how it should be. We live to love ya Evidence all day and every day . You're a solid never changin force in the rap game aka music universe to me . Xoxoxo
Evidence is just so consistent. The album he did for Brother Ali was straight fire. Dilated Peoples is arguably my favorite Hip Hop group of all time. Evidence is one of the most underrated Emcees...
who else grew up and old with him? never want him to stop. never.
since the Weatherman LP
🙋♂️
From Right and Exact I was tuned in ever since
Since I was 16...13 years ago.
Up never old
For those who don't know... 2 years ago...

Ur commit is the best thing i read today evidence is a beast

This is so expressive.....not to many words...less is more...perfectly designed!!!!!
Hes like a bottle of wine when it ages it gets better
Shout out to Roc Marci in that prestigious group also.

Ouch real Deep shit
Take nothing for granted
It’s simple. I see Evidence, I click.

Real shit this whole video takes you for a ride when you was growing up making you think on what you accomplished in life but still trying to accomplish your spot in life
What do you expect it to do, go viral? The quality shit always remains in the shadows.
Anyone knows who produced this ?
i don't practice, i rehearse it at a live show. man, he's slick!
Posted the same comment untill I found yours. Forget my, you were ahead! Props
This deserves 10 milion views easy. Long Live OG !

That Freestyle Fellowship shoutout made me so happy. Another banger. Give Evidence his roses now, big homies a legend.
I dont know how much more respect can i give to mr Perretta.. We thank you big time!
Τόσα χρόνια εξέλιξη αυτός ο καλλιτέχνης δεν παίζεται

To throw it all away, you’ve got to know what you’ve got. On repeat

I heard this jam since day one, but today it's July 2024 and it's hitting different. 👏

Woke up heavy in Introspection, insomnia taking its toll.. weary, taking a scroll down the stream, found the link....showed me the evidence we all need to drink.
That was dope
Then stop to think, How can't I relate w speech. How can we raise the vibe enough for folks to see? But that's just me, questioning when I just need to leave things be.

Can't. Stop. Listening.
NEVER DONE LEARNING. ALL THE WHILE UNLEARNING....THANK YOU EV!!!!!!!!!!
Consistently one of the best out there doing it for 20 plus years from Dilateds The Platform to Weather or Not and Brother Ali Secrets and Escapes.
Salute Ev
That Rhymesayers roster killing it again.
Prayers for all the lost souls that "disliked" this!?...This the Realest shit you might EVER hear!?...Bless Up Legend!🔥👑🏆
I Love my people when I’m in they presence, nothing like community I don’t lie much that’s a present gift!!! I’m unwrapping em!! I’m unlearning!!
dope man
Been bumping ev since I was 12 I’m 23 now use to go bombing to his music now I’m raising a kid bumping his shit constantly... blessings CA alllll day ✌️
Evidence doesn't stop. This has such a dope ass vibe, he's an architect.
Lyrics_____
I woke up
Put the phone down
Put the mic up
Said the first thing that came to mind
Like I don't write much
That's a lie, we all know it
Making beats, doing it so I could show my people that I'm growing
I don't cry much
I love my people when I'm in their presence
Nothing like community
I don't lie much
And that's a present
Gift
I'm unwrapping
I'm unlearning
Trip
Jazz cigarettes
I'm never done burning
I get the one turning
Start a new chapter
And that's a testament
A little lesson for the rest of them
Running off an old model
Trying to get some new results
I unfollow
A slow flower
A go-getter
Never been a no-shower
Said this verse with my eyes closed
And smell the scent through my nose
I don't practice
I rehearse it at the live show
A young Miles, but what do I know?
I don't know much
I go through a lot
And I ain't blowing up the spot
To throw it all away, you gotta know what you got
A lot of secrets that escaped me
Living up to my potential where it takes me
We all scared of the top
We all scared if we flop
We won't be riding these breakbeats like H-Street
I need a lease for the next ten
Feel like I'm destined
Need a bird as my best friend
I buy the book so I could follow the plot
It's not a follow-up to Weather Or Not
This its own shit
Pistol grip pump with the chrome grip
A lot of people tripping
I tell 'em don't slip
I tell 'em don't get shot
I tell 'em Freestyle Fellowship, "Bullies Off The Block"
The streets are watching and they hot
Watch what you say
The jealous watch when you drop
I don't know much
Still legit!!!!
Many blessing Bro
This is a fucking poetry, I love ev
Much love
Bro I love this track and the beat. Love from CHILE!
I’m in a better mood now...I needed this dosage of hip hop
All this beautiful hip hop is making these tough times more manageable
Seweryn Krajewski, Ewa Demarczyk, Czeslaw Niemen, Marek & Wacek - some great polish artists out there when I pause the video at 0:05! Another amazing song, keep it up Ev, lots of love from the East!

Let's all give more love to Ev, he deserves it.
mr slow flow, back at it again like he never left
Evidence strives for balance. It’s what this world needs... balance. Long time fan.
Been a big fan of Evidence since early Dilated. His music always just resonated with me. I'm 36. Much love and God bless EV
EVIDENCE Your Mom is Proud of you!!!! I can tell she definitely is by the way you put your heart in the music!!!

Love how he skates with the beat. Fkn smooth!
It’s amazing that some artists can be in the game for so many years and some just keep getting better🔥. Evidence is one of those artists
Sounds straight out of the 90s. And I love it.
Brian Eno quote! class is permanent Ev ❤️ been listening to this guy since I was 12 I’m now 21 🙏🏻
You were 12? Salute! I was 2 years younger then you when I started listening to him in dilated peoples. My neighbors had there shit on vinyl.
Had the first min and 30 on repeat for the last hour just when you think you can top throw it all away... dude you got a bird as your best friend I'm just riding that slipstream through the waves of time drifting x
goosebumps.
Green is the colour of the heart chakra. I can hear sadness and beauty in that. that must be a message.
Most chill beat ive heard in a while. Spark one up to this!
To throw it all away you gotta now what you got.
as i evolved as a lyricist ive grown to appreciate this slow style ,the verses hit harder gives u second to think on each bar, masterful 🔥
Another gem. Evidence keeps getting better
This song is actually helping me through a hard time!...
"Lorsqu'on fait quelque chose, il s'agit d'y rester et d'en sortir
Lorsqu'on fait quelque chose, il s'agit d'en sortir et... d'y rester"
