This song has been in my recommendations since 2016. It feels like meeting someone you've seen around and realising that there's so much depth you've missed all this time.

I had never heard of Oddisee before, I randomly stumbled upon this 5 minutes ago... but I've heard enough for me to go and buy this album, how is this not playing everywhere?!
keepitmoving Lol everybody with half a brain knows they aren't going to find quality music on the radio. The radio doesn't play anybody from TDE but that doesn't mean they aren't taking over the genre. I consider myself as someone who knows a lot about hip hop, and ive never even heard of BET. Basically the only reason Pato hasn't heard of this guy is because he's not famous yet, and its not at all because of sony and universal studios.
john jackson chief is not dumb, i love chief keef's music, don't get me wrong, i also love oddisees music so much, it gives me so manny chill vibes! peace!!
Been pumping every era of hip hop for 14 years now, am 28 in January and this song is absolutely classic 10 years later, one of the most utterly timeless tracks.
Still one of the best hiphop songs ever made, the life-lessons you share won't be understood if you didn't lived life through these experiences that give these lessons. Beautyfull depth.

+Only Nun On The Internet unless you are being sarcastic, Braeden is referring to the youtube channel DeadEndHipHop which is a group of 4 guys who sit down and review albums, and Braeden is thankful they reviewed one of Oddisee's albums because thats how he learned of him
I might be too young to ever really know tupac, biggie, nas, or any other rappers from back then, but man I'm happy to have rappers like this guys that can give a good taste of those days, I can still lisen to music that aint trash.
1. Oddisee does not want to be Mainstream. It calms the fire you once had for Hip Hop in the first place. 2. He loves where he's at, he doesn't complain. 3. The fans of the Underground will never go away. They will never "Change The Song" if you will. On ANY dope rappers. Instead, our fanbase grows stronger each and everyday.
"With the attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor" I wish that gratitude is what me, and my wheelchair bound brother, saw when we waited (in the cold) behind the Knitt at Treefort to thank Amir (Oddisee), and his band, for such an incredible show, as well as express just how much his music has helped guide me through a lot of really trying times, particularly when our mom unexpectedly passed away.. Unfortunately, what we saw was the attitude of wealth... no signatures, no pictures, no words... his bandmates seemed very appreciative, but Amir basically just strolled off to the hotel, and the band followed. I never even bothered trying to talk to him the way I watched him essentially ignore a girl that was also fan that was trying to talk with him. I play music, I've played sets, I know it's more often than not, long, hard, and tedious work to give an astounding set.. but he just walked on by totally unphased. I wasn't necessarily insulted, or anything like that, I was just really disappointed... disappointed that he was nothing like how his music made me think he would be in person. I still enjoy his music, Afterthoughts will always be particularly sentimental to me. I suppose I just hear his non instrumental stuff differently now.. this isn't any kind of dig, it just is what it is.. - (for comparison, after Dave Chappelle's stand up set, while his motorcade was ready to roll out behind the Morrison, and his security already gave us a firm "No" to a quick thank you, Dave walked right out some 50 feet to my brother and I in the parking lot to talk to us, actually thanked us, and took a picture... that's the guy that turned down 50,000,000$ showing some genuine gratitude to the people he realizes he gets to inspire, as well as make laugh, & think. No one gets a second chance at a first impression.)
@@discoprotection As a teen I was obsessed with finding new music. I would go to thrift stores, Hastings, and FYE to buy CDs, spend hours listening to music here on TH-cam, on my cd player or ipod, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp, and downloading music off Bandcamp and SoundCloud and deleting music on my ipod to make room for new stuff I had a Nano I would load up with new music and a 128gb ipod I would keep the best stuff on and have playlists on. Now that I'm older I just don't make time for it anymore and I find myself listening to playlists I've made on SoundCloud and old CDs in my car. Idk it sucks too because some places make it harder to find the new stuff here on TH-cam it's almost impossible to find new stuff since TH-cam likes to only loop popular vids at you, SoundCloud likes to just play the most popular stuff unless you mess with it by listening to smaller artists, Bandcamp the GOAT at showing new stuff but the site is trash at actually playing tracks since it takes forever to load. My taste also moved away from hip hop since now that I'm in my mid 20s I feel so depressed and hip hop makes me feel so good and idk sometimes I wanna stew in it or go back to old music for comfort but idk maybe I should get back into music since it makes me happy maybe get an ipod again just for music.
I remember hearing this song 10 years ago when I met Oddisee searching for hip hop on YT, from that moment I knew I had found a great musician, two years later he released The Good Fight and it became my favorite album. Oddisee accompanied me in many difficult moments and thanks to him I am here.
First heard this in 2014, I keep coming back to this, I play it every time I'm roaming around a new city. You captured that beautifully. Props from Finland.
"This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright." --Oddisee Anyone with any struggles raise ya hands.
Tony Clifton It ain't like that brother. I've been listening to Oddisee for a long time and I must have played this song a thousand times. I just never saw the video, so when I did I noticed that he had a dope jacket on. Nothing wrong with that.
Hey I wish I could reach you out from somewhere and could say how much this song means to me. I was big on backpack rap years ago, but this new wave got me at the end of it as well. I remember listening to this song when I was younger and my English wasn't this advanced to understand what you're trying to say and what your message is but I was headbopping still. Sometimes I'm lost inside of my head and need a voice to say to me "Yo you got this", and for a while this one is my go to because how authentic and real and well structured it is. This song touched me, and I just wanted to say, thank you Oddisee. You a real MC
This is dope. I love the footage, with just the various city sites and raw, untampered-with Oddisee. So refreshing. No fluff, pomp nor circumstance. Just fresh lyrics and sites.
"How you grade yourself is the mark that matters most"
🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
"With the attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor"
Just the right mindset for a balanced and healthy life
Thats the best way to live
Right on brother all the best
"Underdog mentality with champion composure"
exactly what jumped out at me!
Underated is not the word, this is a timeless classic.
Man, I found this song in 2013, everytime I hear it now I am transported back to that time, it's scary how fast time moves
Riight
yo, me to
man i feel that
feel this so heavily
man so true, it's crazy

Same here, although I discovered it back in 2014. Still come back to watch and listen to this masterpiece.
ancora qui nel 2023, per me una delle piu' belle canzoni rap di tutti i tempi.
Still listening in 2023…timeless 👌

Real music exist its just the lack of intake on the masses
Not only in Amercia, worldwide.

Awesome point. This is why I love underground artists. They are usually very genuine and very talented. You make an amazing point.
Thank you! Real hip hop is underground, people! Support your local artists!

Well said man big up !!
I may not be local to y'all, but can I get some support?
Awesome how J. Cole, Oddisee and Consequence have all sampled the same song, and all made masterpieces with the sample.

what was that song that he used of the sample Consequence

The pure poetry and talent this man paints with his lyrics, is just inspiring. Everytime I hear this track it makes me think...
I appreciate what Oddisee is doing for hip hop music. Much love from South Africa.
more love from South Africa
Even more love to South Africa.
Respek from SA
Shout out from Los Angeles.
Mzansi YEaaaaah!!!
What rap is meant to sound like. Keeping hip hop alive. Thank you.
Man this shit is so refreshing.
song deserves atleast 500 k. mainstream can't understand real raw hip hop like this.
thats the beauty of it, this way it keeps the charm of a treasure u have to discover.
hanspenis3000 I know but think if mainstream music was like this. The world would be a better place
Judda Kooda the world would be a better place if people were greedy and had better morals.
well that was rude... :(
TheJuggernauter love you guys
Odd is wise beyond his years. Timeless poetry indeed.
The Windy City is looking good! Oddisee needs to have another show in Chicago!
I'm 38 and this is the Chicago sound I grew up with not that Drill shit! Blessings to this real MC, notice I said MC not rapper!
Whats the names other artists with this sound from Chicago, por favor?

Pato Galindo because there's crap like Lil Wayne and Wakka clogging up the airwaves
Pato Galindo Because Clear Channel.
I support artists like this because he has passion for his music.
who woudn't ?
fools who enjoy dumb down music like chief keef, YG, etc.
john jackson i used to listen to them now i cant understand what the fuck keef says half the time he mumbles

2013 was a good year for underground hiphop
I agree.
all of the good underground rappers haven't put out shit this year, i'm hoping 2017 is a good year.
room Maybe there giving space for the "new school".
Cory Craver Do you?

I can’t explain how this song moves me. Every time I play it. It’s deep, poetic and prophetic. I’ll just keep playing it.
Original sample by The Rhythm - The World Is A Place. Also sampled by Marcelo d2 -1967 and J cole - Sideline Story
Thanks for this! 👌
Verdade.
it was also sampled by Cru - Just Another Case, who oddisee references in the song.
Chino XL- Be Here also used this sample
And of course the really good Disperse by Consequence.

still in my playlist after all these years. Classic.
Was cleaning out my watch later and came across this again. Agreed it’s a classic
Masterpiece.
6 years later and I still gravitate towards this tune. 🔥
This song is incredible, one of my favourite hip-hop tracks of all time. Hands down.
Been pumping every era of hip hop for 14 years now, am 28 in January and this song is absolutely classic 10 years later, one of the most utterly timeless tracks.
Oddisee is one of the greatest talents in music. Nothing but respect for who he is and what he represents as an artist.
Still one of the best hiphop songs ever made, the life-lessons you share won't be understood if you didn't lived life through these experiences that give these lessons. Beautyfull depth.
that "93 till infinity" line !! dope shit.
heard it as I read your comment
I cant believe people in the US are listening to Trap when you literally have talent like this launching classics.
Much love from the UK 🔥
Damn shame.
Now you know how a lot of people feel in the US
Trap is the new generations music. This is more of the beats of millennial
Lunch gen x , homie
There's lots of good trap, too. Don't generalise an entire genre, lol. //
The fact that this song can bring 10 million people together in one little space is Beautiful. God flows through all of us. This song speaks volume.
"Everything you want ain't always good for your soul"
Wow!.....one more time!!!
Tradução:
Nascido em São Cristóvão, morador de Madureira
Desde pequeno acostumado a subir ladeira
Me lembro muito bem dos meus tempos de moleque
Que sempre passava as férias no final do 77
Padre Miguel sempre dez na bateria
Saudoso Mestre André, sempre soube o que queria
Futebol na rua F ou no campo de baixo
Você sabe, meu tio gentil era um esculacho
Eu andava pelas ruas vestindo o meu bate bola
Se tu passasse em minha frente era melhor tu sair fora
Carnaval de rua, perigoso e divertido
Mas passei por tudo isso entre mortos e feridos
Graças ao meu pai, o pessoal da tramela
Sérgio Cabrito, meu padrinho não dava trégua
Lembra do Cassino Bangu, de vez em quando eu ia lá
Curtir um funk, ver a mulherada rebolar
Kool and the Gang, Gap Band
Outro mestre, James Brown
Era só alegria, não tinha pau
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Do jeito que eu fui e que eu sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Que nem a parteira falou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Do jeito que eu fui e que eu sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Que nem a parteira falou
No Andaraí, Grajaú o bicho pegava mais
Quando pichava muro sempre tinha um correndo atrás
Carlos Peixe, meu camarada
De vez em quando no piche, outras na baforada
Vida de moleque sempre sangue bom
Calote no ônibus pra ir à praia no verão
Pra ficar um pouco mais roubava no supermercado
Foda-se, pra mim isso nunca foi pecado
Sempre no Maraca vendo o Mengão jogar
Zico, Adílio, Júnior, fazendo a bola rolar
Como já diz o hino, vou repetir com vocês
Uma vez Flamengo, Flamengo até morrer
Meu avô Peixoto deixou meu sangue rubro-negro
Me orgulho de ser carioca, me orgulho de ser brasileiro
Skate na veia, só quem tem sabe como é que é a sensação
E o poder de dar um ollie-air
Campo Grande, Norte Shopping, Street no Méier
À noite Circo Voador, show do De Falla e um Domec
Vender Camisa na 13 de Maio
Na situação show no Garage
Skunk, diversão de irmão
Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata, Planet Rock
Rap, break, graffiti
Chegou o hip hop
Cantando a vida mas vista por outro lado
Não é apologia, cumpadi, não adianta ficar bolado
Entenda se a minha rima não te faz rir
Não é apologia parceiro, não adianta, sai daqui
Eu vim pra zoar, fazer barulho
Falar um pouco de mulher
Skate, som, bagulho
Sempre ligado, sempre sabendo o que quer
Sempre bom da cabeça, nunca doente do pé
Eu vou levando a vida
Juro que vou
Só no sapato, sempre sendo o que sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Do jeito que eu fui e que eu sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem mané
Do jeito que eu fui e que eu sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem mané
Que nem a parteira falou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem, mané
Do jeito que eu fui e que eu sou
Eu quero ver se tu é homem mané
Que nem a parteira falou

I might be too young to ever really know tupac, biggie, nas, or any other rappers from back then, but man I'm happy to have rappers like this guys that can give a good taste of those days, I can still lisen to music that aint trash.
Tupac, Biggie, and Nas took Hip Hop in a certain direction...Oddi brings it back to the roots. Props from home homie. DMV reps
More of a Rakim than those you mentioned
"I never asked to be born."
"My thoughts like meals, I'm a sucker for the seconds."
"This a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one."

1. Oddisee does not want to be Mainstream. It calms the fire you once had for Hip Hop in the first place.

Definitely that nice 90's hip hop vibe.
I'm back as usual, yearly for 9. That last verse is ridiculous, etched in my brain.
Quality hip hop like this is timeless ..

"This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal
But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright." --Oddisee
Anyone with any struggles raise ya hands.
Heard this when it came out , was a huge part of my childhood.
This man is real. I love it.

dude, this cat is dope, his beat is dope, his lyrics are flowing n you focusing on his jacket?!?! c'mon son
Tony Clifton It ain't like that brother. I've been listening to Oddisee for a long time and I must have played this song a thousand times. I just never saw the video, so when I did I noticed that he had a dope jacket on. Nothing wrong with that.
I was thinking the same thing, hahaha. I want it.
AjaxNoord i spent an hour trying to find it aahaha
Tony Clifton can you not process 2 things at once? jesus man
He been doing his thing for a while...glad to see people catchin on
Such an under rated artist, music so mellow, love that 90’s type feel hip hop can’t beat it, and he has amazing flow
" There for death any moment is a right time, so I live every day like it's my last, but I'm planning for tomorrow as if I'll never pass "😓
been listening for a few months but never commented to show the impact of this song on me. thank you oddisee.
Love his approach at writing and creation. INSPIRING.
I used to listen to this over and over back in the day at a job that I worked at for over 6 years. This shit just hits different.
New album 11.11.22! Follow me on IG for updates. Much love! @oddisee
this was a classic, keep coming back too
Hey I wish I could reach you out from somewhere and could say how much this song means to me. I was big on backpack rap years ago, but this new wave got me at the end of it as well. I remember listening to this song when I was younger and my English wasn't this advanced to understand what you're trying to say and what your message is but I was headbopping still. Sometimes I'm lost inside of my head and need a voice to say to me "Yo you got this", and for a while this one is my go to because how authentic and real and well structured it is. This song touched me, and I just wanted to say, thank you Oddisee. You a real MC
that's dope I hope he can see this one day
❤❤❤
This is dope. I love the footage, with just the various city sites and raw, untampered-with Oddisee. So refreshing. No fluff, pomp nor circumstance. Just fresh lyrics and sites.
when I heard this I felt a spark was lit in my brain for some reason I feel different now feeling more motivation too idk y
He's the representation or the preservation of life and Hip Hop. He's all about serving us knowledge. He's a real one.
Samuel Starratt McCune no doubt
JB_209 ... positive vibes, that's why

Je realise que son honneté et sa perseverance et sa non violence font des textes qui nous portent vers le haut
