[Produced by Kanye West]

A previously unreleased track from Talib Kweli. This could’ve been a perfect fit for Ear Drum, if that album wasn’t already loaded with heartwrenching songs.

[Shout out to: Ben de Ayora]

    This is beat is also used on the song Rollin from Juice, which features The Game. It was on The Black Wall Street Journal Volume 1.

    What is that about? Did Kanye really produce it? Because the beat is mad old.

    yeah i like juice and game’s version on this beat a little better. i always thought that was their beat. talib sounds a little off on this beat, and i’m a talib fan. somebody else probably agrees with me, thats why the track didnt make the album…

    I think Talib sounds great on this beat. “Told me shoot for the stars, until I put a hole in the sky”–he doesn’t usually get that poetic

    Wow.. this is really dope shouldve been on Eardrum for sure.

    It doesnt sound completely mixed/mastered, it sounds a bit like the Liberation mixtape, not properly rapped over in the studio with a “phoned in sound”

    very dope nonetheless though

    Poetic and Talib go hand in hand. From “Holy Moly”? “We used to kick up dust, now we settling”
