Such an underrated artist man. Been a fan since Control System, glad to see him getting even more recognition. In his own words, "I'm not talented, I'm skilled."
@@SnapTime123 i discovered longterm 2 and section 80 at the same time in like 2012ish.... i always thought ab was better!! I think ken knew his potential hense the absoul outro. Bless up dog!
The "depressed/deep rest" line blew my mind. I had never seen those words juxtaposed in that way, and then the metaphor of being in a state of rest while you're down. Profound. Ain't no reason to brag, it's Ab.
Soul has lost so many people dear to him over the last decade. I'm just happy he's still around shedding all this light. RIP Mac Miller. RIP Doe Burger. RIP Alori Joh. 🕊
RIP MAC! im so grateful for this interview. a lot of us nosy fans think about about their friendship and the hurt of their lost ones. "everybody got dead homies". so thankful Ab-Soul is still here to share his art with us.
These Lyrics are much deeper than he’s really sharing and that’s because not many understand the esoteric depths of his bars. You gotta be Enlightened to truly understand why he considers himself a poetic prophet💯
For those that give soul the real real listen, they’re in for a paradigm shift. This man changed has the game at his fingertips. No challenge. The end of W.R.O.H. I feel is his mission statement, and should be recognized way more.
The end, could only signify the beginning of something much greater and never witnessed by man/artist/creative. Let the light be shun upon those who are truly worthy and dedicated towards the betterment of all. Divine timing hermano 💫
Ab-Soul is so real its scary! We need people like him and hip-hop lifelines like him. I love you HERBERT you changed my life and gave me inspiration!!!!
🥹 the music world been waiting for Ab to speak! Amidst all the things he's been through he is still choosing light ✨ I've never seen him smile this much. Life is too short brother I'm glad the love he has is reflecting on his aura. I've struggled heavy mentally over the years, but I have an understanding of myself and all I'm trying to say is I feel like this upcoming album will be the most relatable. I'm ready for more profound realizations he brings through his music. Always been a fan. Love you Herbert! ☯️
its crazy to me how he lost his girl years ago and can still smile and cherish life..soulo the realest of the real..actual goat..not just in hip hop, poetry, but life itself :)
man i swear this man has saved me so many times. such a beautiful soul and im beyond happy to see him making progress, im right behind you bro, trying to be better
ab-souls music got me through a lot of tough times, hope he gets as much recognition as the rest of the tde camp. also still salty we never got that jmsn/soul project
This brother is a true survivor. This awesome song is a testament to that. I love the woman's voice in the background. It's so calming. My best friend tried to do better but His ghosts got the best of Him. This song makes me think of Him. 💚
Shout-out to Soul brother number 2 and Mac man I grew up to their music since my early teen days in 2012, they were an dynamic duo .. RIP Mac ❤️🕊️, it still feels weird saying that, I can't wait for the album Soul 💪🏽
"REACH FOR THE GALAXY, LEAVE STAR DUST FOR THUS AFTER ME" the stardust being generational wealth and blessings to his successors and followers! what a Poet!
Been a Ab-Soul fan since 2007 before the first Long Term album came out. His music has always been an inspiration to me and has gotten me through some things that surely should have taken me out. I can't wait for the next album to drop!
Him breaking down his mac relationship is so beautiful to me. Miss him dearly and hearing ab open up about it makes me really happy! I had a feeling their friendship was real and not some studio, professional ish.
Been a fan since longterm and still own it. I love you Herb . You legit saved my life. When I was about to end it all you helped me. And seeing you live in Denver those times I'd never trade for anything
He really seems mentally healthy, like he literally just came from rock bottom mentally and just came to terms with life Like he’s learning to be very appreciative of what’s comes with life even the good and bad.
Absolutely love this song. It's good when there's a song that comes out that is both catchy and enjoyable but is also actually about something tangible, and there's something you can take away from it. For me it's his best song.
It's ironic how they have soul breaking down the most self explanatory track he has ever made...But possibly the most inspirational... "Black Lip Paastorrr!!" 🙏🏼
I haven't been this attracted to a rap artist in a long time.. feeling as though what he's saying in this song was for me to hear. I'm really going through these things but seeing I'm not the only person struggling to become a better me is wonderful.
Been a fan of the whole camp since 07. But AB has always been my favorite. The Long Term Mentality series was a special one. His new material is just a continuation of that. Can’t wait for the album to drop. SOUL!!!!!!
The guys a genius with the pen! One of the best to ever do it ! Relationship on the rocks after the stone bit. Wouldn't be surprised if Ab did that to also make you think he's drinking too. He's already told us about dabbling with drugs. Relationship on the rocks I'm familiar with the term but also feel subconsciously the wording of it is there for a reason.
❤❤❤ love me some Ab been supportive of him for awhile and when he went off the radar last song i had was him and jhene aiko on my phone. Missed his light and knowledge glad to see he tryna keep moving and still spreading positivity.

W u on this 100% soul needs them flowers TODAY
@@Boodamondem Facts, it's been too long and he's been through a lot. Deserves everything he has and more.
@Fred Gates Music ♪ Go get it man, you'll certainly get there as long as you put the work in.
@Fred Gates Music ♪ shut up
I'm one of the late comers, I only became a fan after DWTW but it's always been fascinating to go back to previous projects.
I'm glad that Ab-Soul sees himself as a rap genius, poet and prophet
Deserves all those credits!!!
Bro tbh I’d say ab soul is better than Kendrick
@@SnapTime123 i discovered longterm 2 and section 80 at the same time in like 2012ish.... i always thought ab was better!! I think ken knew his potential hense the absoul outro. Bless up dog!
@@SnapTime123 Fax he way better, he not fw Kendrick’s flow tho that’s the only lane kdot got him beat imo
@@SnapTime123 lyrically.. I would agree! 💯
The "depressed/deep rest" line blew my mind. I had never seen those words juxtaposed in that way, and then the metaphor of being in a state of rest while you're down. Profound. Ain't no reason to brag, it's Ab.
There’s a song by the hotelier called “your deep rest” u should check it out
@@reubenhill1854 great band
He said he got it from Jim Carey
jim carey
Jim Carrey said it way back
First time I played Do better I looped it for like 2-3hrs. It spoke to me
Same!!!
Protect this man at all costs
Kendrick once said that Soul proof reads his lyrics. Soul a real one. Wordsmith at it's finest!
This record had me in tears. Genuinely made me wanna be a better man. I owe this dude everything‼️
I cry EVERYTIME I listen. It's my theme song now
❤❤❤❤😢
Never thought Ab would do these. I’m so glad he did
He's actually done a couple before. Here's one for "RAW (Backwards)" th-cam.com/video/v81Us6wLTlY/w-d-xo.html
Soul really was at the beginning of rap genius
@@hcgolf excatly ..that's facts his one of the reasons it exist
Ab soul is one of the few elite writers out there
Big Fact, i can't wait for the album as well. Check out my AB Soul Song Review before the album drops on my page and lmk what you think 💯
He don’t write but I know what u mean
He can’t write lol. He is legally blind 😩
What about saying Panda over & over? Ain’t that lyricism? 😂
@@lsdiesel8025 what does that have to do w this video?.
One of my favorite artist all time. Give this man his flowers while he still here.
Soul has lost so many people dear to him over the last decade. I'm just happy he's still around shedding all this light. RIP Mac Miller. RIP Doe Burger. RIP Alori Joh. 🕊
just a "coincidence"

i feel like he the closet thing we got to mac now.. artistically
True ❤😢
@@gregobrien7972 highly agree
Most dope!
He ain’t lyin bc i definitely used to check rap genius to figure out the parts that went over my head 😂
These Lyrics are much deeper than he’s really sharing and that’s because not many understand the esoteric depths of his bars. You gotta be Enlightened to truly understand why he considers himself a poetic prophet💯
I was wanting to hear him go deeper also.
@@samuelvenegas2889 it could be Genius leaving out a lot of what he said by either ignorance or to follow and pertain to certain agendas.
100 percent this! There’s so much more in those bars but you definitely have to be connected to your spirit within to see.
Yes 👍 Yes. More 🔥.
that's why maybe he hasn't dropped. so many didn't get his last album. DWTW
For those that give soul the real real listen, they’re in for a paradigm shift. This man changed has the game at his fingertips. No challenge. The end of W.R.O.H. I feel is his mission statement, and should be recognized way more.
he does it so effortlessly 💯, no gimmicks, no flashy flows, just bars every time.
Man I thought I was the only one
The end, could only signify the beginning of something much greater and never witnessed by man/artist/creative. Let the light be shun upon those who are truly worthy and dedicated towards the betterment of all. Divine timing hermano 💫

_You’re Gone_ was going crazy in high school

Ab soul wordplay is unmatched..lonely soul is probably my favorite ab soul song
Such a blessing witnessing this much realness and greatness.
So glad Ab Soul is back! By far one of the best lyricists to come to this world and bless us with good music
One of the greatest to set foot in the ring. Ab soul is levels above in so many ways and deserves his flowers.
Been a Ab-Soul fan since 2007 before the first Long Term album came out. His music has always been an inspiration to me and has gotten me through some things that surely should have taken me out.
I can't wait for the next album to drop!
"Life is as long as it is short. No time like now, like the present"❤ I love Ab-
The chorus being a mantra...magnificently jaw dropping😭
This man is AWESOME. His poetry floetically speaking I get is music & his depth.
Him being underrated is a understatement
Him and Mac are underrated legends no doubt
I bump this daily during my workouts and dippin around the block - and my favorite part is the timing of "Come on Herb"
This track is so inspirational & raw 🖤 love to see Solo getting his recognition 🔥
Him breaking down his mac relationship is so beautiful to me. Miss him dearly and hearing ab open up about it makes me really happy! I had a feeling their friendship was real and not some studio, professional ish.
Dope song even better album, ab killing it as always!!
Always love hearing solo explain bars he really on a level
Been a fan since longterm and still own it. I love you Herb . You legit saved my life. When I was about to end it all you helped me. And seeing you live in Denver those times I'd never trade for anything
Love Abs wordplay! He could do a Verified for every song he has & I'd watch
THE ARTIST THAT RAP GENIUS WAS MADE FOR... AB-SOUL THE LONG LOST LYRICST. BEST LYRICST IN HIP HOP
ab soul is a really slept on artist
OG’s remember Genius used to be called Rap Genius
The tour gonna be 🔥. Definitely going at least twice
This record pushed me and keeps pushing me out of the depth of the dark corners of my mind
This made me love the song even more now ❤
He really seems mentally healthy, like he literally just came from rock bottom mentally and just came to terms with life Like he’s learning to be very appreciative of what’s comes with life even the good and bad.
Absolutely love this song. It's good when there's a song that comes out that is both catchy and enjoyable but is also actually about something tangible, and there's something you can take away from it. For me it's his best song.

LOVE AB. Best album yet
This song is BEAUTIFUL! LOVE it. LOVE the sample. Just perfect!
AB-SOUL YOU CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. THANK YOU.

Been a fan since the first mixtapes glad he’s looking good, and that’s he’s about to bless us with another album
“Rhetorical Anthropological Philosophical Structure” blew my mind to hear.
This song is important! Much love to Soulo
true visionary 🙌

Ab ain't lie... Rap genius helped me appreciate songs like pineal gland and nibiru from over 10 years ago
Dj dahi made some of the most original classics of my time
One of my fav songs
So glad to see Ab doing good. Him talking about Mac got me 😢

the fact he used thus in a rap song is unreal to me for some reason.. An absolute prophet!!
First TDE product I ever purchased was an Ab-Soul T-shirt. Loved his music ever since.💐💐
Glad you’re still here with us soul 🙏🏽🌹💐
This has the same vibe as Blessed by Schoolboy Q. Ab Soul really helped out a lot of people and our perspectives on life with this track.
that song gets me crying every time. especially that verse about his daughter 😢
soulo always was a rap genius, RIP Mac, doing drugs was just a war with boredom but they sure to get me
Love you Soulo!!!!
Man this album is going to be something really really special 🪄
So excited for this album. Such an amazing artist.
