...and honey is beautiful, my goodness!!!

[@jamespilkington]

Pharaoh gets his praise... A lot of rappers name him as their favorite, but really all in all they’re inspired by Kool G Rap.

[@sarahdoddingtonclark2258]

Lyrically scary.. honestly pharoahe is an absolute monster the way he bends words and his technical ability

[@audiwankenobi361]

This song is powerful. It has soo much movement,dang. Needs to be a National Anthem.

[@andrewndambuki2207]

This should be the worldwide Asthma Anthem, i relate to everything Pharaohe says on this song. Having suffered as an asthma kid through out my childhood till almost 15. This song is powerfull when i remember all i went though , trips to the hospital at midnight on mommas back (from a 3rd world where healthcare is a challenge), hospitalised for days. Now am standing a grownup adult and Asthma is behind me. Still when i hear this song, it makes me appreciate my moms everyday.

Great job getting through it my brother, you're mother's an absolute star

When I saw him live for the first time, he had an asthma attack on stage. He got Boogie Blind to entertain us for 5 minutes then came back out and destroyed the mic for another half hour. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to

[@PerpetualFormula]

I relate to this song so much, and it makes me burst into appreciative tears every time. For me, it's chest pains instead of asthma, and still standing after me and brother losing our parents when I was 8 and him 6 , and im so proud to say we are still standing real proud 🤠😎💯👊🏾

I graduated college 2 months ago and had too many people wishing me to fail throughout my studies. This song reminded me that nothing stands in my way as long as I "still standing." Pharoahe Monch, you are the reason many people don't give in to corruption. If that wasn't the case, I would've have been standing today. You truly are an inspiration. Thank you.

You have no idea how much i need to hear that right now. Affirmation music for sure. I was ready to give up, but I know I still got fight left in me. This joint dug deep and gave me the boost I needed. The difference btw an entertainer and an artist is the artist understands how to responsibly use their gift.

An absolute masterpiece even in 2023. The production is top-notch, the rap lyrics are sharp and on point, and the hook ties it all together. Then Jill bodies it at the end. Incredibly well-put-together track. No cursing, no gangsters, no twerking or thot behavior. Timeless!!!

[@jharekcarnelian]

And because it deals with real things and not a comic book version of reality that's why people like this will never be huge. Except to those who know where to look and hear things worth hearing and not foolishness meant to tease and please superficially. There's a whole history of music crammed in here.

I really dig Pharaohe, his raps are just on another lane... This is Music!!!

[@tajmabruno]

Classic lyrical hip-hop. Pharoahe Monch is and has always been a master lyricist.

[@howtorapbook572]

Pharoahe gave a ton of great info on emceeing in the books he took part in making, called *HOW TO RAP* + *HOW TO RAP 2*. One of the things he said in them was this- "With certain songs, it’s better if you punch in, depending on how you write the record. It could be a song where you literally scream the first line and then cry the second line and whisper the third line, and so on and so forth, and just to get the proper inflection on those pieces, you might want to retake some things - just like a film, like, “Cut! Let’s do this crying part all over again.”"

Pharoahe Monch's rhyme scheme are unparalleled and his word plays intertwined with that deep rooted CONSCIOUSNESS is what separates him from the commercial sale outs that kids coin their heroes... our heroes are Pharoahe Monch, Jill Scott, Nas, Erykah Badu, Killah Priest, Indie Arie, Black Dove, Aretha Franklin, Talib Kweli, Diana Ross, K-Rino, Lauryn Hill, Cormega, Anita Baker, AZ, Gladys Knight, Mos Def, and so forth.
