[newworldafro]

I'm not sure what yall are seeing, I posted "Gravel Pit" in the video link, and I'm still seeing it. Blame the sick , he's getting surgery.......

First rap song dedicated to onomatopeia (sp) ...

This video has a special place in my heart because I didn't know a lick of english at the time, but every time the video came on screen I'd watch it, from wherever I found it 'til to end.
While english-speaking children were listening to the lyrics, I was observing the visuals 'cause they were the only thing I could even attempt to understand. The fact that they acted like they weren't doing nuthin' outta the ordinary always blew my mind.

Everytime I listen to I cant go to sleep or jah world I wish ghost n rza did a duo album

BTW, whole The W album is underrated. Damn near classic. Those Rae and Meth verses on the Intro

I like it a lot more than I did when it first came out but

Definitely has some bangers though

Breh, that album is at least, AT LEAST, a 4/5. I give it a 4.5. Really dope album. Some people hate it on it because of it's almost somber vibe at points but sh!t really doesn't have any weak joints and ALOT of dope tracks.

didnt like the vid, still love the track

Kay Slay had the exclusive on this, sometime around winter '99. all 3 members flowed their asses off, there were alot of songs on The W that had unlocked flows (Careful, Do You Really, Hollow Bones)

Wow. That's crazy. You even write/spell English well. There's cats on here that spoke English their whole lives that couldn't write a proper sentence if their life depended on it. Good job on your part picking the language up that quick.

Rza created this song with Aaliyah in mind (for the hook and in the video), but she turned them down. Rumor has it that Timberland and her peoples convinced her it wasnt a good idea because the WU was yesterday's news at the time. Aaliyah being on GP would have changed the whole complexion and quality of the song, no doubt. I still like it tho.

I'll say this, it was their most successful attempt at trying to recreate the 36 Chambers sound to me. It's definitely got some great songs on it



Millionaire feat, whole family eat; yo, y'all nikkas is weak
Got a bird beak, chirp chirp speak



And then you got songs like Conditioner or Clap

I'm a portuguese speaker, with the occasional Kimbundu (my native tongue) but mostly portuguese.
