Arrested Development - Tennessee

[@onwardstotruth5810]

Was at college in the mid 90's when tunes like this were around. Best era for original hip hop 🎼🎼🎧🎧🎤🎤🎤🎹🎹🎹

[@fvenegas9ine]

THIS is not a song. This is poetry at it's finest. This is a story. This is a tale that you can share with someone that needs inspiration or motivation. For the ones that are lost, this song is a path to enlightenment. I was driving to work today and a Lil' Wayne song came on, I had the urge to flip the dial but I listened just to see what the hell he is saying in his lyrics... and as you might have guessed, he said nothing that is worth caring for. Soon as I got to my comp. I looked for this.

[@JPCevallos]

Excelente grupo, el mejor hip hop con rap su voces son magníficas y sus movimientos con la cadencia de la música los hacen inigualables. Saludos cordiales desde Guayaquil-Ecuador.

[@frankfurt02]

This is what hip-hop is all about. Hip-hop today is crap, but the older songs like this one are awesome. I remember this song from the good old days, and it was one of my favorites. This is definitely a classic!

[@ElLadoCansado]

Thanks youtube, the media is corrupted of bs music now, thanks to youtube and people who still listen to real music.

[@yesca4life2005]

Interesting

[@happyalyssa]

I love that people still listen to this. Haven't heard this band in ages, but I loved it when it came out and still think of them once in a while :)

[@sirsalamander]

First CD I ever bought. One of the best purchases of my life. Much love.

[@isabelle0604]

Very nice song. Thanks for sharing it.

[@SlowedandMixed]

I've been listening to this song multiple times a day for like a week now.. Man this is real hip hop to the core. I Love it

[@puck30]

If there was ever a list of 100 greatest songs of all genres. This would have to land somewhere in there. Almost 18 years old, It's an all time classic that's still fresh!

[@livebandstouring]

A game of horseshoes!!!!! Classic Tune. Love to hear this from back then day every so often. Thanks for the post.

[@Nijeta1]

Oh yeah I was living in Chi Town when I fell in love with this TENNESSEE song. Who would know I would wind up here : )

[@Riskiamo]

Love them. Great song, sick beat.

[@BlazyBlazoo]

GREAT !! I was 14 when i heard it the first time. I'll always love the wild dirty groovy sound texture of the early 90's, XXXX the bling bling and all those clean robotised stuff i hear right now on the radios

[@anniebellie1234]

I saw them in concert without knowing any songs.. That night changed my music taste forever!

[@snappybones]

I was never into Rap and i still loved this song and dont think i will ever tire of it

[@Zacksleeps]

been playing this song alot recently. Got it on tape cassette somewhere, I used to love these guys!

[@pockahantis]

This song is a far cry from which where we as African Americans come from. I really had to listen to the song to REALLY get the message. This is one of my favorite songs from Arrested Development.

[@redmurri]

from australia and us aboriginals love this song ol' song great!

[@OGMACE]

Arrested Development where brilliant back in the day. these tunes still sound fresh now

[@trey3216]

@rocabear I'm 30 and when I was 15 I started listening to all that same music, and I haven't stopped. That music is so much more real than what people bring to the table these days (Except Jay Z, but he lumps in with these guys as well). Good job on the listening.

[@myenmoni]

Just saw them on the Monique show! This was one of my favorite groups, spreading nothing but love and positivity while dropping that Knowledge!

[@legbreaker]

what a shame, back in the days, we all sit, listened, chilled, danced and went on to the next great hiphop track. Nowadays Im still searching..can someone help me?

[@1337svj]

I really miss music like this from the 90's. Music today is so different.

[@TheLastCharmander]

I'm from Georgia. About 20 minutes north of downtown Atlanta. I moved to South Florida a few years back and I'm close to graduating high school. And damn, everytime I hear the chorus to this song I can't help but close my eyes and think of all the good times in the A-Town and Georgia. Which is funny, cause the songs called Tennessee. Hahah fuck it, I love this song, I love & miss Georgia. Peace.

[@JerrellXotiikClemmons]

Song has alot of meaning. I never get tired of it!!!

[@ithacasteveo]

I just met the whole band yesterday! It was a great show. Speech is very nice and cool in person.

[@BadNewsCentral]

I got the chance to chat with these guys for a few minutes yesterday, and they're all amazingly nice. They put on a hell of a show too.

[@Pero63]

The video is in black-and-white and was directed by Milcho Manchevski. Directed Arrested Development's "Tennessee" video for which won the MTV video award, and was named in ROlling Stones Magazine as one of the best videos ever! Great director!!!

[@SoCalAdventurer19]

This is OLD SCHOOL. I haven't heard this song in a long time. From back when the music was good, and it could be appreciated by all.

[@HermannTheGreat]

I'm glad I was a teenager in the 90s, best era of music by far.

[@dienglee]

Great song....great memories. You guys are not commenting at all on Dione Farris' killer vocals! Starting at around 3:13 she begins to smash the track.

[@Southerngirl675]

good song.thanks for sharing.

[@wayniac917]

this song brings back many memories of sittin around playing playstation and smoking joints of dirt weed and getting rocked! wow, those were the days.

[@cherokeedonna83]

I remember when I first heard this song, I had to go buy the CD ! LOVE THIS SONG ! Dawnah - East Tennessee

[@HeatherLove0829]

Amazing!! If we could make more music like this, then there'll be no more war! Talking about your personal relationship with God while making great rap music! I'm a Christian and I appreciate this so much!

[@cuppholdeer]

oh, i luv it towards the end when that girl starts singing!! its like and angels voice

[@bebreezy93]

Well I'm 15 yrs old. . and I LOVE this music. . those young people are full of unconscious ignorance and have been brainwashed with what is supposed to be hiphop music today. . the lyrics are wonderful. . and need to be heard by all young people today.

[@tmilam18]

[@Jenniexotica]

[@waynederland]

Great music from a great sound of the time!i wish they had done more!

[@kicksex]

[@georgy252001]

Great song! Wow, this brings back memories...

[@crackmonster99]

nearly 20 years later this still sounds fresh and inspirational.

[@jshrubz]

Speech has one of the best flows of all time

[@Chocolatetorpedo]

Amazing Song. Always loved the message in the song and always thought the beat was HARD as rocks. Peace.

[@iamCORAHN]

WOW!!! this group needs to get back together.. We need more young bro and sis singing about our past so we will not get lost in the present and future... This is showing love and pride of our own a dying culture. Help them understand the master plan.. You know not where you are going until you learn your past.

[@hightek669]

Man, this is my jam right here. I was in elementary school when this shit came out. I loved this song & STILL do. Man, oh, man, how I miss the early 90's..........

[@speeddevil78]

one of my favorite songs from this album,was 'Mama'a always on stage"

[@PhunkadelicPhish]

probly listend too thiss songg at least a coupl hundred timess..... it never gets old! :D

[@puck30]

One of the greatest songs ever made.

[@frenchy8th]

This song is so awesome. This is the way hip-hop is supposed to be: deep, sharp, lyrical, and powerful. I remember even my rap-hating mom really appreciating this song, back in the day.

[@thespisthedestroyer]

This song is something more. It's so deep and has so much meaning. I wish more hip-hop was like this.

[@UofTNFan]

Beautiful and powerful song.

[@Loneman1]

Even being a white guy growing up in northern CA, these guys transcend race. This is still one of my favorite songs ever, all these years later. One of the best out there! This group knows their individual souls, and it shows.

[@originaldeftom]

This is the type of inspirational Black music we need! I am sick and tired of gangsta rap and "pimpin' RnB" , can we go back to the good ol' days? YES WE CAN! And it's gotta be done!

[@robregD03100282]

Man I remeber this song back the 90s when I was still in gradeschool good times.

[@KandiStomper]

this song always makes me reflect on the days where hip hop actually had meaning. and just reflect in general on the good ol' days.

[@tsujoy]

God thank you for this music! i was like 6 when this came out but I knew it was something serious even then!!!!

[@xoxxobob]

truly one of the most under rated hip hop band ever!

[@PRYNCEKASINO]

I JUST KEEP REPLAYING THIS THRU-OUT EACH DAY... I NEED IT

[@soul76can]

This was really creative at the time, a totally different beat and direction in Hip-Hop, I loved those days...groups were creative like Arrested Development, Digable Planets, Pharcyde, it was all so dope...

[@jackfender24]

the best intro of all time for a song!

[@energypower1]

innovation!!!! love this music positive vibes indeed!!!

[@MrTriplexxx142]

the lyrics makes you think, but the chorus makes you come back to listen to the lyrics!

[@bbv1108]

Im 14 again,..... this is time I remeber listening to hip hop!

[@CrazyexyCool08Angel]

I remember this. I love this song.

[@lomasloco70]

Oh man, oh man, OOOOhhhhhhhh MAN! This is really so GOOOD for the SOUL! There'll never be music like this again EVER! VIVA AD 4EVA!

[@HearEy3Am]

This is the first song I ever memorized when I was around 8 or 9 yrs old. This is still one of the illest groups, songs, AND videos out. In my mind, there's only a small handful of artists that can hang with this (AD).

[@SixthDivison]

woooh memories1 the days we were all united it was cool to be yourself.

[@LJdaentertainer]

Oooo the nostalgia that this song brings.

[@AirDJ91]

this has to be one of my favorite songs and if i'm mad or somthing it calm me down to bad they didnt last long

[@smoothrasin]

Takes me beyond Tennessee! Back to my childhood

[@aluluq]

This takes me back to my younger days.

[@MuggaReik]

one of my favorite songs

[@JedusTro]

"Take me to another place, take me to another land, help me understand your plan." I've always enjoyed this song since I've listened to it. And I'm only 15.

[@odemata87]

Always did appreciate this group

[@soulchild2008]

This song always gives me chills toward the end.

[@edsedlyn]

this one is really nice! every sinful human being must hear this song... haha.. thanks borgy for sharing us this song!.. i love you honey!...

[@lucasurastar]

[@uzipolo]

@Jomammacita The female vocalist on "Tennessee", Dionne Farris, released a successful solo album in 1994, Wild Seed-Wild Flower. The album spawned the hit single "I Know."

[@kylejensen7404]

Great band, the 90's my golden years

[@dlass7710]

My God i don't remember this song it awesome I don't even remember song like this back in the nineties
