15:26 Sankofa means to “retrieve”; literally “go back and get”; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” or “Sankofa w’onkyir” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”

Critical response to Saba just confounds me. I keep hearing how his sound “lulls” and his style “hasn’t outgrown his influences yet” and all I hear is sonic genius that takes me so many places. Maybe it’s my personal connection to music being so intense. Maybe I just let myself rejoice in each artist individually. But Saba’s work matters so much to me. I’m a Tulsan, and we’re kinda of an unspoken cousin of Chicago (many Black Tulsans fled to Chicago after the 1921 Race Massacre). I remember visiting Chicago for the first time in like 2004 and thinking, “This is like home. I know these people. I know their facial expressions.” Maybe that’s it. I don’t know. I’m just thankful that I get to hear it, and that he gets to do his work. 🙏🏽

No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it. Then I heard a piece of the Bone record and thought it sounded great. I'm glad I waited till the album dropped to hear it. I'm not sure if Saba is in a better space than he was in during care for me but it does sound like it on this record, even with the deep subject matter. This is definitely an album we will be talking about for a while now, and I hope it brings even more fans your way cause it's incredible. Sorry for ever doubting it.

The energy that this album gave me on first listen was different, and then upon a number of listens I felt what it was really propagating - contentment. Saba expressed this in the best way he could, and it's felt in every song. Now when I hear the intro and 2012 I'm moved into a different space and feel. To be and feel genuine in your messages from this album shows it takes time, and Saba does show us this very well with his raps on here. Few Good Things is for Saba, for the people, for the world. Ready to count your blessings? Cop this album. Also caught the Twi saying "Sankofa w'onkyie" in there. Wow!

Yo. This was so wholesome, beautiful and raw. 🥲 I love the storytelling and the imagery. I cried when you showed the abandoned building. All of those rich memories that took place there. I felt your pain and saw the hurt in your face. You are so brave for opening up your heart and creating a body of work based off of everything you ever loved and knew, and reflecting on the loss that you experienced. That's not an easy thing. Our first reaction is to run and hide from pain but you faced it and made beautiful art from it. You told our story as well as our grandparents because all of our grandparents did come from the South for a better life. You showed the world what life was like as a child growing up in Chicago. To us, it was a beautiful place despite all of the violence. Glad you did this. Got me all in my feels this morning. Rest in peace to everyone that was lost. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
