Mos Def - Sunshine (Instrumental)

[@thomasnelson5758]

Kanye really was at his best as a producer when he was producing for the underground/conscious crew he rode with (Mos, Kweli, Common). The beats he gave those three are so raw. Not to knock Hov, Twista and Game, but man he was always in good company with that backpack crowd

[@adamsjay212]

He also produced “the people.” For common

[@yeabsiragebremichael230]

It’s insane. This man is too op when it comes to producing

[@adamgordon2572]

Don’t forget about the tracks he did for Lil Kim “ came back for you “ and Scarface “ Guess who’s back “ 🔥🔥

[@solstyc]

He said he was just using backpack rap tho and never liked it, that’s the funny part

[@justicejakober5506]

@@adamsjay212 he produced a few songs for Common

Don’t know how Kanye finds these samples, they be so perfect lol.

I've seen this before, youngins chat gangsta like they lived those years, happy you hasnt seen the pain I've worn wrapped in tears, whispers from his wife, don't let em fold, let me speak sense into their ears. Let me suffer so they don't have to, believe me kiddo my life was rough, don't let it be you, it ain't worth the hassle, stay outdoors, focus and enjoy the sun, being indoors from robberies committed is no fun. Every negative leads to unwanted scars, wanna see truth? Get in this car and come for the ride, we won't need to go far, just around the bend to see earth is in a worse state than our neighboring Mars, pastor troy was right, I'm moving when the chance arrives, I'm not losing my mind when the can'ts arise. Imma keep my faith alive long enough to see the stars align. Till then my people need to recognize politics and common sense don't follow the same lines. Regulate your breath, you'll live to see your children marry, better that than the hardcore life of nothing, lying to yourself and believing you gained something, I don't need words of a scary nature, let life teach, and behold life will breach the facade, and strip the lies from the media papers and shut down the frauds. Let your eyes do the talking and your lips will agree, your heart is there to affirm your pedigree, if it beats in moderation you'll be at peace, if it picks up the pace, calm your nerves, it means there's a facsimile in your vicinity. Take my word, this is when you evaluate and eject yourself from evil.

Hello sunshine!/ Its been quite some time/ This dark cloud following me has been so unkind/ Cant even control what goes on in my own mind/ I just want to end it sometimes/ but i know that thats a cowards life not mine/ chances of living well are 50/50 so im gonna grind/ just waiting for a sign/ im like a malignant tumor not benign/ kind of an outcast in a group i usually follow up behind/ still unsure if this life were all living is intelligent design/ pass the blunt my way know i wont decline/ because i dont say no to drugs/ everyone is preoccupied with hate they forgot about love/ no need to push and shove im already better than all the above.
