This was upkoaded 16 years ago. So iconic.

time flys to fast....

[@HaywoodJablomi_420]

Wow I haven't heard this for years, I'm glad I woke up singing it in my head the other day. It took me 2 days to remember what the song was called. Good stuff. I lost one of my oldest friends a few weeks ago and he showed me Sage when we were 17 so this is for him. RIP Mike Andrew Stack and T.I.P up there man.

[@Williamzachary]

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's interesting How the Universe put that song in your head two days before your friend made his journey into the unknown.

[@bojackson3585]

This album was, & is, so unfathomably ahead of its time

[@lyricsanonymous9036]

Top tier lyricist, crazy how so many people never heard of him.

[@buddaflyfx]

i have been a sage francis fan for like 15 years now. dudes too real for the mainstream

[@newera5238]

Late bloomer here! I am so happy I finally found this amazing artist.

[@lyricsanonymous9036]

@@buddaflyfx 100%, I first heard him through his Makeshift Patriot track. It came out a month after 9/11, then I bought Personal Journals when it dropped...and I was blown away

[@donrastar1579]

Im the same age as Sage from Woony. Been hearing his name since jr high.. Love him or hate him. This kid is hip hop

[@snobrdr101]

Very sad more people don't know about some of the best hip hop artists out there. Sage Francis has been ringing in my ears for about 8 years now. Much respect to Sage Francis, Eyedea, Slug, Aesop Rock and all the others out there not getting the respect that they deserve.

[@GhostToGoood]

Drop the rest I’m looking for music worth listening to

[@luvpogl4227]

Anyone can play "pick a card", but only the chosen few can put magic on it, like Sage Francis! After all, fame is a child's game, some aren't lucky enough to escape.

[@mrg.9477]

i remember listening to this over a decade ago. still goes hard af

[@margaretmccauley9830]

Yoooo what is this!!! Absolutely amazing!! Love this so much❤❤❤

[@SimplicityJuxtaposed]

It's refreshing to actually see a video where there are no racial slurs being made, and no naked girls dancing around just for the sake of being seen. I appreciate what you have done for my music preferences. Thank you.

[@hobomchobos]

The best lyricist of the generation.

[@M8WhoSk8s]

This guy is under rated asf

Thank You-s for this vibration-relation that is energy-exchange! Learned about from Major, going to that Scribble Jam in Cinci. ⚡💜⚡

[@nastynas373]

sage francis is one of the greatest white/underground rappers, if you want to here more of him i suggest listening to the 25 minute "sage francis & apathy" freestyle, its some of the most raw material ever

[@gbshaw107]

Not sure what's better, his song or this god damn music video..

[@purplepantscomics]

Just incredible

[@quinnkilleen6090]

We all have a song that defines us … this is mine 🙌🏻 The self destructive things I do for entertainment … ❤

[@PrivateWindow]

I love hip hop, but I have so much trouble finding artists who aren't cheesy or shallow. This guy is one of the few with real talent.

[@Space-Holiday]

“When I first got into magic it was an underground phenomenon. Now everybody's like pick a card, any card” love that line

[@codycline6678]

I'm so glad Mc lars sent me. I've never heard this dude. But he's great.

[@deannanoblet]

rediciously amazing.

My boyfriend showed me Sage, And I think I love him. And I love this video, cute idea with the little sign people [:

amazing beat! It's insane !!!

@GonewithaBlastwave Meee toooo!

[@arielsfish]

this is awesome

[@SUPERxGOOBIE]

what a beard, and holy hell he's got some flow

[@shawnthomson3469]

The lesson was at the will pub in there

[@brainphreak]

@SillySantaHat - Its because they both have amazing lyrics and speak about anti-politics. The fake politics we al live in today, his lyrics are always REAL and about good topics like Immortal. Unlike rappers who rap about meaningless stuff and have no real message to send. Immortal and Sage are among the best speaking on the topics.. I would also suggest Orko the Psycotik Alien and B. Dolan's new one

[@avakinjaydgaming9912]

It's been 11 years

[@GonewithaBlastwave]

I am growing a beard, not because of this video but because it sounded like a good idea 3 weeks ago so I didnt stop I just feel that this was a good place to discuss beards

[@onylra6265]

One day I just got fucking bored of shaving. I didn't decide to grow a beard, I decided to stop not trying and it went from there. Peace @ 2021 bro, hope the years have been kind to you, and your beard would put Gandalf to shame.

[@FlashLightKnifeFight]

Seriously if anyone likes Sage's style, Try looking up "Swordplay" He'll blow you away, Really hard to find though but his ep is sick.

[@invectrum]

this was me trying to chase down Sage Francis in the hotel hallways for an autograph

[@michellereuter5769]

@SillySantaHat - try Little Houdini, Going Back To Rehab and The Best of Times, some of my favourites, especially the best of times..thats what got me into sage.

[@marshastickel6542]

Long standing argument. Sage, tech, Aesop, or Kendrick 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Oobeleski]

That is one epic beard.

[@sleep_89]

Teenage nostalgia activated

[@shyko95]

@EMIN3Mfan2010 "EMIN3Mfan2010" - Lol, I used to be a huge Eminem fab, he introduced me to rap, but now I barely listen to him, I've even got every album since Infinite including his D12 and Royce collabs. Most of what I listen to nowadays are part of either StrangeFamous Records or RhymeSayer's Entertainment. xD
