Idk how to explain this but this song is spiritual… it literally saved me from offing myself, idk how it came on my phone but it did and I’ll never forget listening to it in my tub and crying back in 2013. Bless everyone that put it together 🙏🏽
I think they held the camera themselves.lol schoolboyQ didnt come in until his verse started and when schoolboy started rappin, curtains disappeared. But the content in these lyrics is, as always..amazing
"Listen man / I'd rather give you my last than see you live again / Just cuz you changed what you pitchin' don't make a difference / You gotta get off the mound / And put the game down / I leave you with that jewel, go get the chain now." Curtains is SICK
HIP-HOP saved my life. To be HIP is to be intelligent. To HOP is to move. This intelligent movement saved my life. Thank you Kendrick, Curtains & Q. 🙏🙏
1:59 "Petty thoughts will keep your brain down. I'll leave you with that jewel, go get the chain now... and put it together..." ~Curtains That's been in my head a lot these days, now that I'm older...🙏🏽
+Cudder Anthem Q killed this? I mean, if it can be murdered 3 times then ya, but Kendrick ripped it, Curtains put it to sleep, then I guess Q woke him up and slapped him back to sleep.
omg when i was in jamaica i heard this one time but i had no idea who did it an 7 years later i heard the beat again an by now i know kdot this is crazy full circle 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Kendrick's flow, lucidity, effortlessness, lyrical skill, study of the art form are a kind of appreciation of the art not seen since Tupac Amaru Shakur. It's the nuances.
Bruh kendrick been on another level for so long! Now if he came out with a mixtape where he just spittin bars like other rappers you tellin me it aint gone be the hardest shit out?
This is what I'm talking about. Great flows, relevant and tight lyrics with metaphors on top of an enticing beat. You got Kendrick and Q repping Cali and Curtains repping NYC. This is real hip-hop
Elijah Wright i actually have recognisable input on, it automatically made the assumption i was going to use match. my grammar is top notch. if i can spell antidisestablishmentarianism im good with English languages and arts.
It’s 2023 and this is still a legendary classic
A forgotten classic.
Kosmos Sounds not by me one of my top 10 songs foreal
Yeah
never
Glad I remembered
It is not forgotten
2024 and it’s still a banger
Idk how to explain this but this song is spiritual… it literally saved me from offing myself, idk how it came on my phone but it did and I’ll never forget listening to it in my tub and crying back in 2013. Bless everyone that put it together 🙏🏽
I’m glad you’re here with us homie, happy you found the sound that saved you 🙏
Wow I felt this bro
Hope you are doing well! It's a great song, and the outro sample by Pete Rock is incredible.
Kendrick can be a legend if he pushes himself. Always spiting hot fire.
This aged very well!
@@rapdathat11 very well
And become a legend he did!
Curtains spits dope too. Never heard of him.
Bruh this comment here!!!!
Had to rewind the middle verse.... The story telling is impeccable.
+Joseph Gonzalez I never say Kendrick is second...but it isn't even up for grabs who killed this shit.
I think they held the camera themselves.lol schoolboyQ didnt come in until his verse started and when schoolboy started rappin, curtains disappeared. But the content in these lyrics is, as always..amazing
Bobby C. Lol 😂 😂 😂
I guess you can say it's a collaboration.
@@kiavaxxaskew 10 yrs later. I don’t even remember writing this comment lmao
This was the beginning of it all with the video making for them
2024 and still love it
Curtains really ripped this up and the fact i remember these bars like a scripture is crazier
Underrated underground track
"Lord forbid for the good kid, they took his life she want her baby back like a cooked rib, but that's just life" - Kendrick Lamar (GODLY)
"Listen man / I'd rather give you my last than see you live again / Just cuz you changed what you pitchin' don't make a difference / You gotta get off the mound / And put the game down / I leave you with that jewel, go get the chain now." Curtains is SICK
I remember when this song was new....I’m only 22 and I feel old 😂 This was when Q really caught my ear for the first time 🔥
One of Q's best.
I Also Felt It Recently

Wish I could go back and have a conversation with the me that was banging this shit back in the day, man, good days.

Mybad his damn head is high up their cause his fuckn giraffe neck I could hear a damn thing

Lukas Anderson LMAOAOAO, I haven’t even watched yet and you got me laughing

I just found this again, im so damn addicted again.
HIP-HOP saved my life. To be HIP is to be intelligent. To HOP is to move. This intelligent movement saved my life. Thank you Kendrick, Curtains & Q. 🙏🙏
One of my favorite joints of all time. Kendrick is just too much flame. Prolly the greatest of all time

ab soul black and mild
all 3 killed this.
this hidden underground classic.
yeah
Never gets old….that horn, that constant beat married by depressive and stressful lyrics…a part of us all
Q was way skinnier back then... Gained hell of a lot of weight. He took "eating" for it's literal meaning.
He's gown keep on eating till his ankles fat

Rubinator Franco
Came back here to go through the old deep cuts. Miss Curt@!ns. That was an era.

Schoolboy Q had the best verse miss this version of him
I still remember the day this song came out, timeless classic, forever...
OMG he sampled Black Ice from Def Poetry Jam!!!!! So dope!!!
Couldn’t remember this song for at least half a decade. Still just as dope
1:59 "Petty thoughts will keep your brain down. I'll leave you with that jewel, go get the chain now... and put it together..." ~Curtains
That's been in my head a lot these days, now that I'm older...🙏🏽
Always have to come back to this, just fire!
Q's the realest.
Beat Is Clean and they all killed it, just love this song
Q killed this song dang
+Cudder Anthem Q killed this? I mean, if it can be murdered 3 times then ya, but Kendrick ripped it, Curtains put it to sleep, then I guess Q woke him up and slapped him back to sleep.
This song is deep!
Embrace the light within our struggle. Stay True, Honing whatever skill, becoming hope for others with little faith.
I guess I'm the only one still bumping this in 2020..

ExtremeStuntMan100 me too man. Dope shit
Fire that keeps burning🔥🔥🔥 Good music
Q look like a character from GTA san andreas the hat n sweatshirt ha cali writing all over it lol
Still listening to this in 2017 that's how you know this is a work of art.
that poem at the end is the hardest shit on this song
That compiled with Kendrick. Crazy. But that's shit at the end tho. Was just too deep. Too real
Thanks so much!!! I have never listened to that though I have played the first couple of verses multiple times
Real hip hop! A story told as a poem....
Black Ice gives a great speech at the end
Real touching. Top Dawg's bringing meaningful rap back
Another on the FO EVA playlist never will i get tired or not like this song man straight up 💯
This was TDE when they were scaring everybody out of their wits...they were the rap game as far as the streets were concerned when this came out.
First track I heard from Kendrick he came a long way stayed overly dedicated
2024 STILL BUMPIN RIGHT AFTER NOT LIKE US
Kendrick's flow, lucidity, effortlessness, lyrical skill, study of the art form are a kind of appreciation of the art not seen since Tupac Amaru Shakur. It's the nuances.
Bruh kendrick been on another level for so long! Now if he came out with a mixtape where he just spittin bars like other rappers you tellin me it aint gone be the hardest shit out?
if it was like the other rappers then it'll be trash like other rappers. the fact his shit has a message is what makes it so great
Came back in 2022 to revisit this classic. I need this on streaming.
Remember playing modern warfare going hard with this one
I love this throwback
that nigga said she just want her bby back like a cooked rib😂😂🔥
Kendrick is a monster in hip hop!!! Damn love it
Great as always. Kendrick is about to blow.
Foresaw the future! He's the biggest now with Q😤😤
It never stopped, and never will.
One of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever that never got a great amount of coverage
Bumped this when I was in high school
I finally found it 😭
Haven’t heard this in forever. Jr year of high school shit. Fan since day 1 homie
Q definitely wasn't eating back then
this before the bucket hat lol
+mrofficer2u and kfc bucket😂😂😂
Your Smoked. You just not from that Life. You dont understand
He said the Deepest shit period. Any body stigmitized really understand
that's why he was hungry
All three verses are tight, message is right, i might just add one of those raps i always come back to.
2024 ?? Who here during the beef
Always 💯💪🏿🔥
This is what I'm talking about. Great flows, relevant and tight lyrics with metaphors on top of an enticing beat. You got Kendrick and Q repping Cali and Curtains repping NYC. This is real hip-hop
Lord forbid for the good kid
They took his life
She want her baby back
Like a cooked rib
but thats just life..from where i'm from
Wise Words
Can't believe this is my first time listening 😮😮😮
First time seeing this!
Bruh when I saw it said 4 minutes ago I couldn't believe it
THis was amazing.....This song is more important than ever....
Shyt INTRODUCED ME INTO KENDRICK, TDE COLLEGE DORMS DAYS MARIJUANA CYPHERS…#CIRCA2011Tilinfinity
curtains and the poet at the end killed their verses
Curtains reminds me of a younger version of jay rock lol
It’s never forgotten my boy @kosmos sounds
I was 12 when this was released damn I'm 17 now
Ashton Connor try 5? ur basic match sucks.
iDeKz **math**. your basic grammar sucks. :)
Elijah Wright i actually have recognisable input on, it automatically made the assumption i was going to use match. my grammar is top notch. if i can spell antidisestablishmentarianism im good with English languages and arts.
lol u take shit too serious bruh. plus that word is not even hard to spell. good try though.
Elijah Wright one of the longest words to spell. didnt say hardest. i can spell almost anything.
Kendrick has been fire rising for a few years. Hope ot continues for more years to come. The west has produced gold again.
What was Drake thinking, this man is on a different plain of artistry.
Never gets old
