I know this song and Ab-Soul long before GTA V was released but I don't see why some people are mad about other people only discovering him from GTA V...Look guys, that's why those artists get featured in such games, they want to be heard. If you're a true Ab-Soul fan you should be happy that people started to recognize him, no matter how they did it. Thank you Rockstar. :)

his styles so original yet it take you back to an old school time and most of all it be spittin the truth over sick beat and hooks truly d definition of OG:ab-soul
Why are people upset by GTA? Before the game came out all I listened to alternative and rock(nothing wrong with either of those genres). the songs that caught my attention were this, Swimming Pools, ADHD, and Collard Greens. It introduced me to hip hop in general. Now my favorite genre has been hip hop for over 2 years later. Publicity is good for artists, even if it is frustrating for people to act like fans after only hearing off of a video game but it's introducing people into this great music. I'm proof.
Bruce Wayne Fr, when i was younger i wouldnt really listen to music, but herd such songs such as swimming pools lets say like in saint row 3 and gta 5, and I loved it, then found out later it was by someone i like, when i got into music, who was Kendrick
"I sense a shift in paradigms, I remember when I couldn't spare a dime, now I step in with a pair of dimes" - the most underrated rapper in history I swear.
+Requ1escat1nPACE agree! don't understand these guys who are like "omg these idots. only know Soul cuz of GTA. I'm a real fan" i'm so glad that i played GTA. otherwise I would have never listened to nice songs like this
+Requ1escat1nPACE Have you guys bought CONTROL SYSTEM? Thats how you you show the artist appreciation..It really is a great album. If you like this you love the album
"Back when I first grabbed that pen , I told myself I was gon' win, And I ain't know when, But it was gon' end, Up happening, I want in, So you can take your top 5 list, Dead or alive and put me after Em" IF YOU DONT GET THAT GET OUT.
Apulux I like having to listen to raps a few times to fully get it.. at least tracks don't get boring too quick if you have to really listen to understand it. respect Soul, that's deep.
right bro, what we felt when we were kids playing this with friends and how we remember those times is what makes GTA 5 special for me. GTA 6 can be 10x better and i know im not gonna be that happy
This song will forever put me in an inspirational frame of mind. No matter how old I get or the song gets. This is why old n166as feel forever young. The time in my life when the song came out and how I was seeing the world will forever be stamped on my heart. These boys are underrated. The vibe is super strong with this song. It’s special
I'm honest. I didn't know this song before I played GTA V. Thanks rockstar to be so good choosing the best songs for GTA Games. Ab-Soul respect for you!
rockstar has really good taste for hip hop, got everything from playboi carti to tyler the creator to MF DOOM. they really went all in for the soundtrack
this song takes me back to middle school, when all i had to worry about was school. no bills, just playing videogames, skateboarding, chillin and listening to music with friends. takes me back to when i got gta v and i was happy that rockstar put soul and jay rock on radio los santos. simple times. whenever i put on this song, hood gone love it and adhd i drift back in time 😢
I love this part so much 0:56 🤩🔥 It's like that I want to drive with Franklin at night and look down that Vinewood sign and seeing that beautiful LS with Chop
Hip-Hop God GTA 5 ruin this song I listen to Ab-Soul before like Pineal Gland, Terrorist Threats, D.R.U.G.S, Huey Knew which is about Huey P who was the leader of the Black Panthers I learned that form Dead Prez and people say you can't learn form rap. Also R.I.P Big L you image is a picture of him his so I assume you know him.
I didn’t know a lot about this joint until I played GTA V and through Ab-Soul on Spotify I came across Schoolboy Q, underground Kendrick Lamar, and many others, but thank God for TH-cam so we can take a step back and watch these videos and embrace our memories.
I hope Ab-Soul’s next album has more energy like this song. Control System is one of those hidden gems that aged very well even 8 years later. Soul already has a classic album :)
It would be weird to see Eazy E always wearing glasses due to Ab-Souls illness. But I know what you mean, I believe Eazy would pass the legacy to TDE if he was still with us today. NWA basically passed the torch to Kendrick Lamar.
fuck sakes no! he's not underrated, he's a little less mainstream than kendrick lamar, I mean, lamar did collabs with a lot of rap artists like dre, but he's like the frontman of TDE, that's the difference, but ab is genius too
william hall Nah dude, he is not underrated. He has a different intellect that not a lot of people understand. Like Kendrick, a lot of people related to him cause he is smart and stays clean-good kid in a mad city. Ab is smart but mixes his life with drugs because of all the shit he has been thru. Only a subset of the population can related to his pain and life view. I love his style but I can see why Kendrick is more mainstream.
This is one thing I like about the GTA series. They always manage to bring to light underground classics like "illuminate" and give raw rappers some much needed attention!
This track is amazing in 2021! When I was in college, I stumbled across this video then began collecting vinyl records as a hobby. Ab-Soul needs to drop his albums on vinyl because the production of his projects is utterly brilliant and we need to keep this on record. :)
Absolutely timeless song, one of my favorite rap songs ever. Loved hearing it everytime it came on in GTA5 when I was a kid, and I still love it to this day. One of TDE’s best songs of all time imo
i heard this song way before gta v, but im glad it made it on there. the amount of copies gta v sold is insane. more opportunity for people to find amazing tracks like this one. and for those who say ab soul is weak... lol you must be the kind of person who loves every track on your local "rap" radio station, and follows all of the trends that sprout from viral vines
Get um.... cuz ab soul is NOT weak!!! Kendrick weak on this tho....I will admit discovering this song from that game and it became one of the ones I couldn't wait to come on and I was like this dude nice.... I will always dig this joint here
Dr. Kira “i want in” sounds like “I want N” like the letter. The second part talks about a top 5 list. So he wants to be “in” or “n” meaning he wants to be in that list. He then says “dead or alive” meaning the artist of that top five are either dead or alive, but he knows that Eminem is still on that list no matter what. So he goes after him, like the alphabet. (j k l M N o p).
Ab is one of the few rappers who doesn’t need to put out hella music,his early music was prime of primes and told a lot of things we are seeing unfold in our eyes,jus wished he blessed us with more of this type of sound but regardless he’s the best lyricist of TDE and one of the best mc’s of all time
Same here I already knew about Kendrick but I didn’t listen to him much. Once I gta came out and I listened to radio los santos I’ve been a huge fan of all TDE rappers
Not Sal Vulcano. Same bruh. I knew who Kendrick was obviously and I only knew who ScHoolboy Q was because of Studio and Chop Stix. After I heard collard greens and Hood gone love it on GTA, I was hooked on TDE. Love all 4 guys music and thank god that GTA introduced me to then
my buddy in college 10 years ago got me into ab-soul and early kendrick and he was also a modern day poet... kendrick became household and it's a shame ab-soul didn't get that same recognition
Kendrick Lamar has said that Soul is the greatest rapper alive, that definitely says a lot. It really comes down to a matter of opinion. Personally, I feel like soulo's lyrics are much more pure, but Kendrick kills his delivery.
I know this song and Ab-Soul long before GTA V was released but I don't see why some people are mad about other people only discovering him from GTA V...Look guys, that's why those artists get featured in such games, they want to be heard. If you're a true Ab-Soul fan you should be happy that people started to recognize him, no matter how they did it. Thank you Rockstar. :)

It's crazy that so many people know Ab because of GTA, that makes me happy knowing he's getting the recognition he deserves. #LONGTERM

Gotta be one of the most underrated songs in hip hop
Yeah..crazy that still so much underrated despite its on GTA V

Nope still hasn’t gotten what he deserves
He sings too deep for the industry,

God I miss cruising through the hills of Los Santos with this on the radio. It was a simpler time.
this is a shifting paradigm , I remember when I couldn't spare a dime! now I step in wit a pair of dimes... love dat flow

I would love them to create an album together. Only them.

Oh the nostalgia, back when Kendrick and Ab had a bunch of songs together

Ab-Soul should have played as Eazy E in the Straight out of Compton movie.
It would be weird to see Eazy E always wearing glasses due to Ab-Souls illness.
But I know what you mean, I believe Eazy would pass the legacy to TDE if he was still with us today.
NWA basically passed the torch to Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick should have played a role in that movie, he's from compton and he is a rapper, It would be cool... in my opinion
Na Ab soul is too tall tho. Eazy-E was a little nigga. He was 5'4
Foreal that would been raw
He had to be short
one of the many classic tracks in TDE’s catalog
Could you guys imagine if Ab-Soul and Kendrick Lamar made a collaborative album? GOAT stuff there.

@@miguelflores7901 I thought it meant that but, the wordplay was just so...vague, though.
Back here after the pop out
Ab Soul carried this song. Kendrick is a beast. Not taking anything away from Kendrick but Ab Soul is underrated and he’s smarter than most rappers.
To be fair, it's Ab's song. So, there's that
@@TBlax718 “Like That” wasn’t Kendrick’s song and look at what he did to that. But I feel you
That chorus is hard tho and that's all him
@@Beat_daK0tonai_oi true
RADIO LOS SANTOS!
Need this Ab back...
Ab is one of the few rappers who doesn’t need to put out hella music,his early music was prime of primes and told a lot of things we are seeing unfold in our eyes,jus wished he blessed us with more of this type of sound but regardless he’s the best lyricist of TDE and one of the best mc’s of all time
honestly thank god for gta 5 it basically introduced me to tde
Epic Gaming Live Gotta get introduced somehow.
me to top dawg is the top dog
Same here I already knew about Kendrick but I didn’t listen to him much. Once I gta came out and I listened to radio los santos I’ve been a huge fan of all TDE rappers
Not Sal Vulcano. Same bruh. I knew who Kendrick was obviously and I only knew who ScHoolboy Q was because of Studio and Chop Stix. After I heard collard greens and Hood gone love it on GTA, I was hooked on TDE. Love all 4 guys music and thank god that GTA introduced me to then
Me too
I WANT AB-SOUL AND LUPE FIASCO TO BOTH TAKE OVER THE GAME WITH A JOINT ALBUM. PERIOD!!
FOR REAL!!!
They did a track together that was pretty badass
ChiefCrispyNips if you're talking about T.R.O.N thn that song is the exact reason why i want them to collab on an album! Btw that songs goes hard af!
Mustafa khan when the beat breaks down to introduce Soul its just too much hahaha
T.R.O.N., World Runners, and Thorns and Horns are all examples of why they should make an album together.
a lyrical genius thats what he is
my buddy in college 10 years ago got me into ab-soul and early kendrick and he was also a modern day poet... kendrick became household and it's a shame ab-soul didn't get that same recognition
Kendrick Lamar has said that Soul is the greatest rapper alive, that definitely says a lot. It really comes down to a matter of opinion. Personally, I feel like soulo's lyrics are much more pure, but Kendrick kills his delivery.
AB-SOUL LIVES 🔥✌🏿
Ab Soul kinda looks like Eazy
only in this video
"my lips black, i look like eazy-e"- ab soul (easily prod. by chuck inglish)

Lucid Soundz true af
