Let’s face it. This will forever be a classic. If not for just the ever present underground consensus but for all who know GREAT HipHop when they hear it. ✊🏿🖤✌🏿
It wasn't that innocent you just have a short memory. You talking like it was the 1970s. We have social media and rap was declining. Not fully but it started to go down.
@@aaronflowers8881yep there were a few artists here and there that got big putting out truly great art likes this at the time, but theres a reason this song has the message that it does
Slum Village in 2002 is still 🔥in 2024!!! After all this Diddy shyt, Baatin’s verse sits😮in a whole new way. Baatin and J’Dilla, I know y’all are keeping🙏🏽Heaven bumpin’😍.
2000-2004 were my high school years and 2002 was the funnest. This song was one of many that was the soundtrack to my life those years. It’s unfortunate that this video only came on Rap City.
i felt this on a spiritual level 😌 2002 I was in 7th grade, 2002 hands down funnest years of my life until 2003-2004, 8th grade was even more LIT & FUN AF! the fun just amplified. I somehow always sat next to The funniest kids EVER! Id go to classes i hated in a good mood just because I knew they'd be there so i kno ima laugh my ass off all day Lol. This song, This group brings back amazing, hilarious memories. I'd do anything to go back to middle school for 1min....good times
This song popped up in my head a week ago.. I was typing in real love.. de la soul.. I clicked on everything until I gave up.. so at 3:45 am while I’m stressed out it gets recommended mannn
When I Was Young In My Teenage Years I Never Understood This Song, But Now Since I'm On A Higher Vibration....This Song Is One Of The Realest Ever And It's Still Relevant Till This Day....No Doubt About It!!!!
I didn’t understand it so much, that after a while I thought I might of made the song up 😭😭. I finally heard it on the radio the other day and got happy because I thought about this song all the time but never knew what they was saying.
..." I know true love is hard to find Just let it find you for real If you found love to keep it real Keep love from being tainted, being tainted And you'll be alright...."
this cut was a banger and great depiction of the music business and life in general,this cut still goes hard,slum village came with a strong message joint
I had just started middle school when this song came out 01/02, jams like these made the tough days at school not so tough at all, music will forever give me life, early ass 2000s, I wanna go back to this era listening to slum village, flowetry, field mob, jazze phae, nappy roots, the clipse, Sean Paul, etc just everybody from that time. I miss it soooo much, oh AND we ain't have social media yet, we could work with aim just fine lol❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💗💓💕💞💖❤️🔥
This song will always have a special place in my heart. 2014 my manz June and I rode around in his beautiful all white Path listening to this song. Unfortunately that was our last time. He passed away not long. So everytime I hear this joint I think of my boy. R.I.P
It's crazy how the early 2000's gives me an old school nostalgic feel now. The early 2000s were underrated.
Fr tho
You ain’t lying.
Agreed!The BEST music ever came out in the early 2000s💯💯💯
I agree everyone talk about the mid 90s but not enough seem to remember how dope early 2000’s was.
Yup. I'm feeling old af and sometimes I wanna kill myself bc life is so hard but music saves me 🥲
Neo Soul was such a fuckin beautiful era. I’ll never get tired of listening to this genre.
Bro soul??😳😳😳
This hip hop bruh cut the sub genre ish out. Hip hop is one BIG bag of styles.
Dwele is no soul
me too!! my best love memories!
Me either
Da truth!
Still vibing damn near 20 years later. Timeless music here
Yep!
Indeed
RIP J DILLA WE MISS YOU. Hip Hop misses you 😢

Jerome yeah huh! :)
Jerome I was thinking the same thing

Very beautiful combination 😍😇
'REAL HIPHOP '
@kehindeoyegunle8920 yup, what hiphop should've been.
❤❤❤❤ neo -soul & hip hop
Still slaps in 2022!! 👆🏾🤝🔥🔥
That wasn't a slap, more like a one-shot molly-whop.
2023 now
Old tunes can’t be denied. Timeless!
Let’s face it. This will forever be a classic. If not for just the ever present underground consensus but for all who know GREAT HipHop when they hear it. ✊🏿🖤✌🏿
13 years later and this track is still the reason why all the new school artists will forever struggle to match-up to SV. This is ART! RIP Dilla!
Im at 18 yrs still going
Facts!
Still Dope in 2022. 1 J Dilla
NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!
RiP DILLA
This was the track that introduced me to Dwele. The rest was history...
Same!!!
Kanye West introduced me to Dwele. I went back and listened to all his shii. He criminally slept on.😴🤦🏾♂️
This song makes me miss BETs 106 & park. The early to mid 2000s were so innocent, no smart phones and social media. Good times!
It wasn't that innocent you just have a short memory. You talking like it was the 1970s. We have social media and rap was declining. Not fully but it started to go down.

Unfortunately, it still is

Dang..... Rest peacefully Batim... We miss you! Stellar song will never be forgotten

Who's listening to this Neo Soul Gem in 2020? Real music 🎶
Im here fam... People like us can't let these good tunes die 💪
I wish music would go back to this style. This type of music was accepted on mainstream at that time. Soul music is put on the backburner nowadays.

Always has been and always will be dope ASF!!💯💯👍👌
Apart of my playlist…..Yes indeed!😇🙏❤️👍🤗
Detroit represent!
I missssss this kinda jam

@1:22 shows what the music industry is “really” about and what artists are will to sacrifice
Dwele is so underrated. Mellow and smooth
Tbh...I started listening to SV in 2014 but I wish I new them when they started being known in the early 2000s
When hip hop was hip hop
