I came over because of Mr. Nwigwe. However this entire production was so refreshing! Dope!

[@chopsueyroots2725]

Toby Nwigwe and his whole camp is some of the most refreshing art out there. They keep producing hit after hit. This concert look’d so dope - wish I was there!

[@lopezbill6132]

Check out his song he made three weeks after "try jesus" where he talks about the third eye and that our flesh opposes it. It's called "inspired by fat after the Beyonce concert" on this album he has a song with earthgang called "when God cracks the sky" where they talk about us being stardust at a spiritual level. Plus he has other songs with the third eye you just gotta look out for it lol like in "wildings" earthgang has a diamond chain with the third eye on it lol.

I love the way rap, hip hop and R &B are shown more now in classical arenas❤❤ I love the arrangement being played live.

[@Suitswonderland]

This is a beautiful piece with amazing vocals. In true Tobe fashion, it's the raw language choice that captures attention while delivering a powerful message of love for people and his people specifically.

[@mindofmuse]

the fact that I just knew they were saying "all of my hiccups.." but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lmao

[@lordsofgaming2930]

We were there and He gave context to using the N word so much, but without context it doesnt feel the same. The clean version is 1000x better for mass consumption and better imo.

[@emeryrushmo]

WHAT IN THEE F! AT THE KENNEDY CENTER EVEN! LORD HELP US!!!! i AM REAL BLACK! WTF!!!! OMG! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS CRAP!

[@meloanom933]

Sir i am curious, would you like to explain the context he gave please ? Best regard.

[@lordsofgaming2930]

@meloanom933 if you buy the album there is a non-explicit version as he understood that this version would not be for everyone. He wrote the songs how he said they came to him and he wanted to share that original vision of the songs and what it meant to him and the type of ppl he was around when he had nothing.

[@lordsofgaming2930]

@emeryrushmo i am real black. East new york, Brooklyn black. I didnt like it and still prefer the clean version, but I understood his sentiment.

[@meanboythecat]

At the first listen, I loved the music of this, but the free-throwing use of the N Word put me off a bit. Then I had to realise where he comes from and who he's talking about, and the song sounds so much better. Since Tiny Desk and AfroMints, I've been a Fan.

[@lopezbill6132]

Yes you really gotta open your heart to the lyrics and be able to feel the purpose of the lyrics and the power behind thier intentions behind those words. Truly a beautiful song that csn hopefully open people's hearts. I wanna open your heart to a song from tobe nwigwe where he personally talks about the third eye and our flesh opposing it we are spiritual beings having a human experience "inspired by fat after the beyonce concert". Check out one of his latest songs "when God cracks the sky" there they speak about us being stardust that we aren't n words but we are stardust at our core. Very spiritual song

[@lopezbill6132]

This is where I as a Christian found the kingdom of God and I'd agree with tobe nwigwe yes my flesh my ego opposes it.

[@emeryrushmo]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! THIS will go down IN PERPETUITY on KZbin. WHO in the HELL approved this crap!!!!! I hope that my comments will ride along side to let them know, THIS BRUTHA does not approve. Lord have mercy...

[@breyanacheynae]

EXACTLY !!!!! I kept looking for someone to disapprove but everyone is praising that blasphemy

[@karimahdlemon]

Cringe!!!! Ok, now I'm done!

[@DarnellH94]

Yeah it may sound good, but according to sound doctrine our Lord Jesus Christ gave to the Apostle Paul, there's really no sound doctrine in any of this music, which means it's not really honoring God. It's just easy on the ears. But don't believe everything that sounds good as truth of God's word just because it sounds gospely

[@Angelica-y9w]

I disagree. Jesus was all about ministering to the tax collectors and the outcasts. This music helps people who would not otherwise imagine a better future for themselves.

[@DarnellH94]

@Angelica-y9w Php 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. The Apostle Paul wrote this. It's the things we learned, received, heard, and seen in him through his doctrine in Romans to Philemon we should be doing. The better future God gives us through the Apostle Paul's doctrine has nothing to do with earthly things, but the heavenly places. Before you negate Apostle Paul being who you should follow to follow and know the Lord Jesus Christ, study his Epistles and believe this scripture. Romans 11:13 KJV [13] For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 2 Timothy 2:7 KJV [7] Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Ephesians 3:3-4 KJV [3] how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, [4] whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Have you ever heard of the mystery of Christ we are to know that was kept secret since the world began that God hid in himself until he saved Saul on the road to Damascus?

[@lindahughes8094]

As long as they repent according to Acts 2:38 and are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ walking and living in holiness. I agree with the previous comment.

[@DarnellH94]

@lindahughes8094 what tribe of Israel are you apart of, because in context of Acts 2:38 KJV, the two verses before let the reader know that it was the house of Israel who was being spoken to. And when you look at the gospel of grace that was given to the Apostle Paul quarter to 1st Corinthians 1:17 , we should not be water baptized today. 1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV [17] For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. Water baptism is not part of salvation nor is it any good after you're saved
