I was able to meet and talk with Evidence on the day they shot this video. He's one of the most down to earth guys I've ever met. Much Love and Respect
This video and song is so real, cause most people out there do not even KNOW who these guys are. Shows how much the mainstream covered up talent and only cared for the money.
KoolGNasBlackThought It's hard to hear, but it looks like he says, "I like them." I think he was bluffing them at first to get a bigger reaction for the tattoo...
KoolGNasBlackThought he didn't seem to recognize him . . . but mad props for putting Black Thought in your name, he seems to me as one of the most overlooked artists of our time. I would definitely chisel him in my mount rushmore!!!
The dopest MCs all were interviewed up in the books named *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*, including Evidence. Everybody from Mobb Deep to Hieroglyphics to Pharcyde, to Kool G Rap, Chuck D, Black Moon, and Big Daddy Kane were interviewed, and others.
Im listen, can't stop listen over the last 4 months to all of Evidence's and diolated peoples material. Thank you !! You boys rock, and have turned my world upside down!! Your lyrics are in my soul. insperation for my music as an artist, Its what makes me whole . -New true fan-!!! You savings my life Xo-LCStormy
Sometimes you just have to say fuck what everyone thinks. You've spent 10 years of your life working on your craft only to realize that you're the reason why you aren't further along than you are. You KNOW your potential, You KNOW your quality, You KNOW your worth but it hasn't been enough. You begin to beat yourself up...This isn't the way to go. Why do so when you know what you need to? Why do so when you know you have all the tools to succeed? Why do so when you know that you are the key to your success? Stop leaving everything up to chance and calculate a plan of action. Everyone will not like you, you may have to leave some people behind, you may be dragged through the mud BUT DO NOT QUIT! You've come too far to give up now. I wrote this because I've been creating hip hop for a number of years, and I've been suffocating my potential. I haven't taken the time to reach out to you all who could be potential fans. So yes I'd apreciate if you gave me a chance, but even if you don't I hope you take what you've just read and apply it to your life. Don't suffocate your potential. Breath life into your dreams. Don't just be...Become. - Vasco Sevaar
Real Talk right there. I have been into music for most my life but I never pushed myself out there like people said I should of. But music was more to me than just a way to make money. It was a lifestyle, it was my breath of fresh air in a world that made me feel like I was drowning. But thanks for putting yourself out there and spreading that knowledge onto others, much respect and you gained a new fan tonight. One love.
thegodswan.... No , that's why I said HIP-HOP. If I wanted to call it rap , then I would have said RAP . Btw , that post is old as fuck , are you that bored ? Or just a troll ? Your a troll , troll troll troll troll . TROLL . Bye FELICIA !
Great video. If you've been to Venice Beach, you've seen the up and coming emcee slanging his CD with the CD player in hand, ready for you to sample his work. Gotta love the West Coast in the winter
Aldo DeNigris em is overrated because his rolling with Dre. but u most admit Em can rap, but EV is my favorite, just like DJ PREMIER Said " Underground will forever live"
Your music reaches people worldwide brothers, that shit alone should be enough for you to never stop! Respect and love from a small ass apartment in southern Stockholm, Sweden! Keep doing what your doing, I'm gonna go for a run in the cold!

3:34 Evidence: "Do you like Atmosphere or Dilated Peoples?"
The dude shows Dilated Peoples logo tattooed on his wrist... Man, that's love!
Mad love goes out to Atmosphere too though!
lol it looks like he didnt recognize Ev
KoolGNasBlackThought It's hard to hear, but it looks like he says, "I like them."
I think he was bluffing them at first to get a bigger reaction for the tattoo...

Growing up with/around Fash & being in the studio with him has shown how real he is. Definitely a dope cat.

This is the second song I listened by Evidence and wow this dude is real! This is sick!
Much love from Canada!!!

One of the illest cats on the mic, and the production booooooard. Evideeeeenccceeeeeeeeeee.!

Sharkkkkkks!
forever an instant classic and even more so now!! this piece will never age!! big luv!!!!
I wish I can still promote myself with a discmen and CDs... too bad CD players are fading away. :(
I like Evidence 100 times more than Eminem, lyrics and beats better than
eminem
Aldo DeNigris I ride wit u
Aldo DeNigris em is overrated because his rolling with Dre. but u most admit Em can rap, but EV is my favorite, just like DJ PREMIER Said " Underground will forever live"
Aldo DeNigris IMO Evidence bodied Eminem on "Searching For Bobby Fischer"
+Aldo DeNigris cancel that.... jk
Lyrically Eminem kills most rappers. Though Evidence flows like a beast. Doesn't have to do with Em being more popular.
yea boyyyyy!!!!!
Your music reaches people worldwide brothers, that shit alone should be enough for you to never stop! Respect and love from a small ass apartment in southern Stockholm, Sweden! Keep doing what your doing, I'm gonna go for a run in the cold!
