My mom was in the ICU when this album dropped..a few days prior she had just bought me my ticket to go see Q on the oxymoron tour in 2014 and she knew how excited i was for this album to drop...she later had a brain aneurism and i would find myself spending 10 days in the hospital by my moms bedside with my family and friends until we painfully had to say goodbye....when i tell yall you dont know what this song and album mean to me is a TRUE understatement!! Thank you schoolboy Q for getting me through the most hardest time of my life!...Rest in paradise Momma🙏🏽
The visual metaphor just hit me. He’s playing piano in the darkness so his daughter can play in the light. Props to the director, that’s extremely dope
god, I miss the early 2010s of music, the internet, and the culture. I swear something changed in 2016, everything became so shit and dark. Life used to be so amazing and fun; now all we got was an accelerated time and it seems every year is flying by incredibly fast. I remember when this dropped, I was only 15... I will forever love Q for the amazing songs he dropped in the 2010s.
The "internet" rap was at the high level at this point. Kendrick, Drake, and J Cole were setting themselves at the top of the new generation mainstream wise, still had guys like Wale and Big Sean making super quality music, guys like An Soul, Joey Badass, Mac Miller .....they were all incredible. The thing is they were ALL RAPPERS. Now IDK what you can call these artist. 🤣
Q said in a interview that he doesn't like shooting music videos in the hood because his enemies might figure out where they stay and shoot his homies up. That is some real shit. Respect to Q.
+ipZyy Thats not a new thing. Many gangster rappers do that. I knew some cat back in ewa beach that was dumb enough to not do that and police knocked on his door cause he was cooking crack in his video. ahahahah. dumb kids. But dont assume im a thug or gangster, i may be wrong. gew up round them but i aint cut for that life hahah
xTKxIN3CTEDx This video had around 8 million views when you made this comment. I'm pretty sure the like per view ratio was still about the same. So underrated? not really.
+Ty Outler no he is, seeing how kendrick always has the limelight and ppl constatnly look at Q as a "kendrick underling" when in reality they both hold their own positions without each others help
Ty Outler nah bro u dont even kknow, ppl thinkin kendricks the only one who "saved" hip hop.. even though i fucking hate it when ppl say that.. like honest we have jay rock, ab soul, underachievers, flatbush, mick jenkins, kirk knight, joey badass, lupe fiasco, danny brown, ETC how is that not proof enough that hip hop is in its prime lmao
This song is so real. From the bangin beat, to the dope flow & real lyrics, to the catchy hook. Even the fucking video is sick.. The song just sounds timeless, that's the making of a classic.
That's Q... always fresh and fun to hear... Always banging no matter how light hearted,..... Timeless... the dude NEVER gets old.. Ive tried wearing his music out and cannot do it.. LOL. I just wanna 2 step with him. :)
Before, time would pass slow when you were bored and fast when you were having fun. Now? Feels like no matter what you do time is trickling inbetween your fingers, i'm about to blink and be 30.
nyeeezy That's besides the fucking point. I knew someone was going to say something ruining/stupid like this. He's still in his daughters life. That's all that matters. That's what I was gettin' across.
Dropped when I was in the 10th grade, I smoked alot of tree to this joint. The early 2010s was like the 90s, the high top fades, the drip back then, man we were living back then. RIP $teelo, Mac Miller, and Nip man.
Damn Q went back to his hood. Before he really got money & was famous he got a video at this same place with a song called Smoke the pain away. Back in early 2010
5:23 YOO how I never before realize Alchemist was in this video? Probably because I always rewinded before it ended haha. Shoutout Alc and Q for this all time classic ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Been so depressed for so long, so fucking long and I forgot how much the whole tde crew brought me joy. I was asleep and this started playing and woke me up and I felt joy again for a brief moment. Thanks. Thank you for that. No one speaks to me. But you and tde did when I was asleep and made me feel not alone.
You're never alone man it feels that way but there's a path for you and you're gonna look back at the times your felt were bad and wonder why you were ever worried, trust me. Just never turn to drugs... Never a good consultant.

I never thought I would like this cat. I heard him on some song and I didn't like it. Then I download the album and it's fucking dope. His crew is dope they had the best Cypher at the bet awards in my opinion. Ya i didn't feel the Eminem slaughterhouse Cypher this year.
Yohann Madrigal just because he didnt here habits and contradictions or setbacks doesnt mean hes following the crowd he just found some shit he likes. i mean he murdered brand new guy on a$ap rocky's tape and he did the same on kendricks shit not everybody can feel someones work from the jump
I used to blast this on my headphones when I was cutting acres of grass for free manual labour. Everytime i listen to this it takes me back to sweating my face off..
I was rolling damn hard on E and sitting outside my friends flat when some random people approached me so every time I hear it I feel bugged out af all over again

Your smoking the good stuff 👌. In the first minute the girl is right next to the piano lmaooo

ScHoolboy Q is so awesome. He will always be #1 because of
1) His talent
2) *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S*
3) Fans
YOOO!!! this made me think of the early years of Cypress Hill. Pay attention to that flow and that beat Q killing it.
Your right... Alchemist is Muggs protege
Most underrated rapper in the game one of my fav rappers
that nigga is not underrated you smokin dope
+Ty Outler no he is, seeing how kendrick always has the limelight and ppl constatnly look at Q as a "kendrick underling" when in reality they both hold their own positions without each others help
Ali Shuber thats Black hippy period tho
Ali Shuber and no one looks at Q like a K-dot underling he eating.

I’m here in 24’ bc Q is legendary… Jesus this video is deep when you pay attention
I cant handle the nostalgia.
ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS IN HIP HOP.... HISTORY
Anonymous Child i agree with you. This still my favourite song. joHn Muir comes close second, that track real as fuck
man, i see you failed history.
In my Top 10 of all time
Yeah it’s a classic
u def need recheck that, its a cool track. but def not the best in hip hop history... hahahaha LMFAO
props to The Alchemist who produced this beat!
i never knew he did
He also originally produced hoover street but tde changed it to sounwave's version.
NO SHIT! CRAZY! Love this song even more now!
