How a 5 year old song of this quality is still under 400K views defeats me. Queen Rapsody deserves way more recognition, love, respect, honour and wealth

[@jsun7972]

This is so good it's unbelievable how she is not bigger.

[@Shortywithbrains]

You don't understand maybe, but underground emcees want to be heard for their amazing talent. Not about what "they" want you to sell out, and write. Sometimes if not most the time they don't even write their own, cause they sold out. I have been a fan of this lady for a long time, and will always be. I want her to stay underground....

[@gabrieljamieson9744]

@shortyWithBrains s yah i feel that but she's so talented it would be nice for her to be appreciated as she should be, and to make more money to support her career as a rapper, yenno?

[@Blodia1990]

Not only is she incredibly gifted but she is so fine oh lawdd

lets be better, we dont need to be weak. choose to see past yourself and see what makes the other person happy for no reason at all. only then you'll see the changes that happens in you. silence is the key. just do it.

Whoa saw this comment exactly when she said it in the rap

[@anthonyscott385]

Intelligence is sexy, overstand the sentiments expressed. Having value or wisdom from that moment of clarity, empowers one's journey. If desired. May all those in desire for such a person in their life, receive. Start w/self first & resonate higher. Those intune will reach us... Keep pushing, keep moving, & never stop building...

She speaks slowly so folk can hear and understand. Just giving gifts. Gently. Just fire.

Everybody talking about Nicki, Iggy, Azalea... On the low Rapsody might be the best female MC out there right now, her and Tink comin up as well.

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

This is on it's 4th rewind from me right now, I honestly think she's one of the best rappers on planet Earth (and evidently Kendrick agrees with me cos he put her on his album.) Do not sleep on this, do not sleep on her. #cultureovereverything

[@arikeer]

Another dope track, Rapsody! This beat is so chill and feel good. Makes sense because your voice is like smooth butter.

[@pellejaspers4854]

Lunar Orbit who's better then kendrick? Who got more flows? Who got better flows? Who writes like him? Who is social conscious as him without doing it over? Who wrote stories that got spread out over 4 songs on 3 different albums? Wich rapper made the best and most progressive jazz fusion album since bitches brew while keeping it a Hiphop album? Wich rapper inspired so many artists not only rappers but also musicians and singers with what he made? Wich rapper made 2 classic albums in a row and one album on wich he shows he's technically the best rapper out there keeping it hiphop while scoring hits?

[@Lindani_Mvano]

Eish a good example of how visuals do not always amplify the feeling embodied by a piece of art.

[@SwaggaNeal]

Heard she was from my state of North Carolina and I had to check her out and I'm glad I did. The only female rapper I can listen too.

[@randyh.7782]

Check out Jean Grae as well. I recommend her songs "Love Thirst" and "Kill Screen".

[@mrtruthhurts2307]

+Randy H. love thirst is a masterpiece Jean Grae hot

[@randyh.7782]

Damien Hargrove Yes she is! That woman is sexy!

[@anthonyscott385]

No lies stated but add: Jean Grae, Bahamadia, Lady Bug, Rah Digga, Lady of Rage, earlier Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, 5 Footah Crew(Warren G Funk area), Mystic(Cuts for Luck, Scars for Freedom), Hurricane G(from Red Man area), Monie Love, No Name, etc... etc... Sure it's more MCs, drawing a blank. Being listening to Hip Hop for over 35 years, some fond lasting memories. Jean Grae & Rapsody have been some of my fav MCs for a min. Killah Priest catalog is another top fav to explore thru, my goodness - start w/Heavy Mental. Enjoy the moments allowed, once intune, what's ment to be will reach one. For any in desire of such: Stay healthy, live strong, protect your own, & grow...

[@ilamartiniere]

Rapsody has a special kind of talent, one that does not fear speaking the truth and elevating the minds of the people.

[@LoopFerrigno]

This makes me happy! I'm a Hip Hip fan since the early 80's. Todays Hip Hop is different and that's ok, every generation has their own voice. But THIS is the Hip Hop I fall in love with. Beautiful.

She seriously went off on this, HEAT!

Kenon Lattimore Same here dude. I always hear her name and saw a couple of features she did but never went deep into her catalog. I needed this after hearing alot of stuff that been coming out as of late.

[@abstraqtphilosophy7357]

Rapsody is a lyrical beast and 9th Wonder is a beat making monster. These two together with a few more cats like from the present generation like Jean Grae and Khrysis will save hip hop from the mess nicky minaj, drake, tyga and the other wack rappers have put our culture in. God bless 9th Wonder and Rapsody.

[@LioraSwag]

Kai Clark Hey Kai :) mhm shes the real shit out here now. Lauryn is so talented, she almost came here to preform but some resicst ppl convinced her not to... oh well i guess resicm is still control over world newdays. :] i have a lot favs rap artists but the mostt fav is Kendrick Lamar. he's errrthingg

[@kaiclark8429]

LioraSwag Thats very unfortunate sorry to hear that. Kendrick is one of my favorites to. I like how he approaches his music expresses the struggles in his community and from a skill standpoint as well he is great lyrically and not afraid to experiment. He is also one of my musical influences along with J. Cole, Lupe Fiasco, 2pac. Speaking of music i'm a rap artist myself since we share similar music interest would you mind if I shared one of my songs with you?

[@tkingsofkingzt.8453]

Kendrick is not your favorite rapper and the reason why I can say that is because I got your favorite rapper right here Look up "K-Rino - astronomical K-Rino - duality K-Rino - Best She Could K rino. - House of the Enemy That song will be the reason why he ain't on the radio cause this man literally has the ability to take out every rapper in the mainstream with a few bars....don't believe me? Listen to how complex all his songs are...he makes Kendrick look like cheif keef.... I swear Listen to all his Flow sessions He's so real....watch he..give him a chance

I would rather my daughters listen and view this woman as an example of success, than that of the executives at the stations who PROGRAM WHAT,,,,,the mainstream watches and views as success. I love that Rapsody is herself. She's deadly with them bars but her swag and how she does it is so classy and respectful. i love the artistry.
