Thank you brothers for making positive hip hop music may Allah bless you always for this

[@JackabeeT]

This song and the music video have aged like fine wine holy shit

[@GETGRIP]

November 2020 and just rediscovered Jurassic five while having a smoke, omg the memories are flooding back, Jurassic 5 was a massive part of my childhood, good times :)

[@leonknight722]

My favourite song of all time! David Matthews balances the vocals perfectly! Couldn't be better...

[@lordkiwi355]

this song is damn underrated

[@eglsfanphilly]

They are free artists so they don't have to push the mainstream agenda.

[@GrogMindwhip]

Criminally so.

[@richeharrison]

Liquid Gold is a brand of poppers in the UK, and yes, I agree in that context

I remember being 19 on a snowboard trip with some friends and discovering this band from some locals we burned with. Man I miss the old days

[@Offitshell]

Same when i listen to Outkast first album. I snowboarded to that so many times.

[@sensoukami]

Just discovered this song in 2019, how did I miss this out on this tune? Great stuff.

[@ondrejlutz6847]

I like know this song just a long time before 2019.- thanks

[@handsoman99]

Same here - heard this song in Target last week and loved it. Recognized Neil DeGrasse Tyson right away.

[@imbrod]

Similar here, heard it sometime about 2017-2018 for the first time, loved it instantly

[@bradleymcdonald7718]

You found it though

[@mattdriessen8883]

Just discovered in 2021! Love it

[@beastygeorge]

I just got to experience this amazing song and this video in 2019...Why can't we have songs like this topping the charts ?? I don't understand this world.

[@xxangelsofchaosxx]

The reason they didn't hit permanent mainstream fame is Islamaphobia and racism. The message of their 2002 album is critical of the Bush Administration and discusses generational poverty, trauma, overpolicing neighborhoods the government flooded with drugs, and how the American people need to take up arms against the government before its too late. But unfortunately in that time criticizing Bush was a social death sentence. The Dixie chick's didn't get it as bad for obvious reasons, but as soon as it became public knowledge that anyone in this group was Muslim, it was over.

[@boxeoacosta]

the beast got a hold of every system and industry wicked world we in for sure

First verse. One of my favorite verses in all verbal music.

[@DPoston81]

I used to know a guy who would dj in the living room and would always use this song. I would just chill on the couch and listen to him. Hope he’s doing good!

[@tav0012]

this song brings back memories from my high school days, such a good song.

1-2-1-2 [Dave Matthews] A don't stop stop your dreamin' Let yourself float upon the notion We can work it out, we gon' work it out baby Go ahead lose yourself inside this opportunity That we gonna make it right now, make it right now [Marc 7even] Hey We live and we learn, we crash and we burn Right now my only rhyme is this lesson I learned You talk about trust, I talk about lust It's not appealin' as you truly speak your feelings I'll be lookin' at the ceiling, so concealing I shoulda put my heart on the table Knowin' I was good and able but instead I fed your fables If I could have you back best believe it'd be forever Cause each and every day you would hear those four letters [Chorus] [Chali 2na] Hey These are different times but we feel the same pains The blood of mankind runnin' through the same veins We'd like to make it right some which it remain tame Same crimes even though the names changed And we like different minds workin' off the same brain Passengers on different cars steppin' off the same train In the end, makin' it right's the main aim Different parts of the picture highlight the same frame [Chorus] [Akil] Yo Now if you know what I know you need to work it out If you ain't happy with yourself you need to work it out You havin' problems with your family then work it out The things we go through just to work it out I work it out when the situation seems unworkable unreversible but God is most merciful Many works, Many men converse With soul searches sweat it out when they tryin' to work it out [Soup] With the constant complaint, we either gonna make it fly Or we ain't, I already know what some of ya think I'ma talk a hip hop and how bad its got Then tryin' pull a brother, I'm not lookin' for nobody to judge, you said you ain't I never thought you was I'm just tryin' get with ya and pose in the same picture So this mic thing can move the right thing and do the right thing Made for your life gain, plus my man might sing [Chorus - 2X]

It's cool what one of the guys from Jurassic 5 said in that excellent "How to Rap'' book, about coming up with rhythms: "the vocal is an instrument in itself, I like to listen to other instruments in other songs for other cadences. It might be African rhythms, or I might take a horn riff..." Really good book, they had everyone involved in it, Jurassic 5, Pharcyde, Del, Dilated Peoples, Slum Village... lots of artists getting the respect they really deserve in that book.
