[@frankmull673]

So grateful for this era of my life.

[@alishavillegas5348]

These songs take me back best days of my life

[@BravoShow]

Alisha Villegas I'm with u man. I wish I could go back so bad.

[@scager310]

2021. Still relevant as always. Thank you Grouch.

[@livethebmxlife]

sup from the future my man

[@scager310]

@@livethebmxlife what up. First comment of mine is 10 years old on here. That’s wild.

[@livethebmxlife]

@@scager310 lol timeless fucking music man!! this shit takes u back!! hes stil active too, just saw grouch the other night

[@VitaminE6SS]

One of the most talented hip hop artists ever!! Love you Grouch thanks for being born!

[@iziniissish6290]

I believe he is rappin' about the fact that everything in life is subject to change and nothing is permanent. The car you drive, the place you live in, and your body will change and will eventually go away. No matter what you do, nothing will be perfect forever.

[@phil_matic]

damn... this brings me back... Comcast on demand music... Fuse

[@raidersig]

The hottest track i had heard in forever when this came out... touches your heart man.. we all used to try to rock the kicks and keep em clean.. lol.. love the grouch

[@gavinmacmounsey]

I got mad respect for The Grouch as a hip hop artist a Truthful, Uplifting and Enlightening message in almost all his music props to the grouch for revitalizing the hip hop industry with something real for a change..

[@PeanutDuo]

Damn, haven't heard this song in 6 years. Feelin' hella nostalgic. If only I remembered the message of this song the first time I heard it I probably wouldn't be divorced.

[@abetter-_-Gamer]

Sharp as ever !!! 2024

[@mcschwerin]

i just saw the legends in concert and got to meet murs, eligh, luckyiam, sunspot, and the grouch. the grouch is the best rapper out there he is so talented but in person he is humble and chill like one of us. LONG LIVE THE GROUCH!

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

I love this dude

[@pu11intubes]

This song is deeper than the craters on the moon.

[@onemanarmyasonrip]

verse before the beat change is some deep relatable shit , Even talking about something as simple as kicks can relate to alot of things in life and a persons/humans way of thinking or living.

[@henrypulido6243]

its about having nothing . and you love nikes so much you will do what it takes for them to look good again i understand because i skated and listen to grouches words of wisdom ...

[@mikeandsid2000]

man this shit is sooooo smooth rap is better these days when you listen to this... i heard this guy 5 years ago.. man good shit

[@CRE8T0R]

this is my song man!. the best analogy to life!

[@AlienDabs710]

this beat gives goosebumps!

[@greenfiend408]

i feel you man its one of those things you have to get like jazz and shit i dont like jazz but grouch is layin down some real wisdom so i took the time to appreciate

[@bizzley420]

he has his own flow thats what it beautiful about it

[@kidneptune16]

Wowww.......Im Speechless.

[@mortarig]

some of the most meaningful music ive ever heard.

[@CinderFelleth]

lyrics are dope. the end part of this song is all day.

[@MsKlouddy]

man oh man!!! You got to love it...

[@canoobis]

so good. the grouch raps wit more passion and conviction than most out there. his shits real, not that mainstream bull shit that has no depth.

[@apexdna]

I still remember how I've used to clean my Nikes with a toothbrush ... good memories ...

[@zZzZz805]

love this track

[@zZzZz805]

yup "And i ain't talking bout sneakers either" keep it up grouch =]

[@Libbythesigma111]

Classic, Sporty LA shoe store. Fairfax/Melrose

[@notic99]

to be honest i never knew he was a legend but this song is great and the beat is soo soothing

[@bizzley420]

i love intellect. i love hip hop. i love when they mesh :P

[@apexdna]

I still remember how I used to clean my own kicks with a toothbrush back in mid '90s ...

[@mcschwerin]

the grouch is beautiful...

[@scager310]

quite possibly one of the most moving HIP HOP songs of our time. Fuckin gotta love Grouch.

[@illmatic032]

The song at the end is Cloud 9 off of the album Crusader of Justice

[@dustyandlevon]

again... thats tight. I can dig it... well kinda, I bought my first pare of nikes when I was 20. they where black. I still got em' 2 years later.

[@hiphopslug]

Anyone know if there’s a disc I can buy with this video on?

[@tokey367]

[@CrysisG]

hes talking about taking things for granted

[@GunGemini]

love my kicks, event thou this song is going deeper than that

[@Dubulous111]

sometimes I can't live it, but I can word it. tiiiight.

[@ofashodo]

easily one of the greatest shits of all time

[@kritofah]

great quality

[@souljournalist]

this song reminds me of something you'd find off the Nothing Changes album. straight off telegraph type of song..

[@kidkeoni]

DOPE BEAT.

[@buitrami]

im all about that shit too. With all the legends.

[@zacht112]

right off the streets of berkeley n oak town

[@hufer95]

Dope shit.

[@j1j1c1]

FOR REAL, i suggest Jay Electronica: The pledge

[@56nelson]

dope beat.

[@TWRK256]

wow a true mc dats waz up cool i never heard of this guy just stumbled on him go hard rep256

[@123kush]

this song is hard

[@Adam.Alexander]

He's not getting paid by nike this track was made in 2002 when im sure most of you have never even heard of him, especially a big company like Nike. Nike only has the big stars promote their brand. Grouch was still bringing the underground lyrics and sick beats during this time. Gotta love this track though.

[@bubbaloc95124]

look Mom no samples

[@ThinkOnerandProdigy]

i love you, song. :)

[@eLLD3]

man this is the good shit! back when the grouch was killin shit on the underground tip. Sad to say he kinda sold out a bit, but he's still dope as hell.

[@gavinmacmounsey]

so fresh

[@dingles4breakfast]

@jkaf8 "...thats what i got out of it as well as the grouch hates smoke in his face buddy. " Shit had me laughing buddy.

[@karmakritter]

Cloud 9 at the end, nice

[@Audioscientist]

i need this beat..

[@pfunking10]

when your mind gets in a whirlwind you better remember to stop and smell the roses in between dozing cause with every breathe upon this planet youre one of the chosen.........

[@justSELF]

I just cleaned up 3 pairs of white sneakers a couple days ago :)

[@eLLD3]

Yo Grouch! he be geekin in this video for sure lol!!! this just proves that you're no. 1 in hip hop now like i said, This the Los Dog from Denver, we will do a track someday!!! haha ps. nikes were too small to fit my big ass feet lol keep rockin it.

[@Funkyguy86]

nice track... nothing is for 4ever

[@adotwhite]

shits dope yo

[@robertsrashad]

This song is far from about just keeping a pair of shoes clean. It has subtle undertones, a deeper meaning than cant be readily perceived. Thats why I love it*

[@josechavez1591]

classic!

[@arivel09]

although, shoes have been known in as a metaphor for the self. "seen as a reflection it's a super-clean resurrection " so he might be talking about himself in a way.

[@rohawn1234]

Dope

[@JohnTilleryJr]

Sometimes I take my Life for Granted. I could be doing SO Much More for the Time that Im Here.

[@92soothsayer]

that's right cuz they "ain't talkin bout sn-sneakerz neither!"

[@Crisleyva1]

Grouch reminds me of the skater Mark Johnson.

[@jkaf8]

appreciate hip-hop. the real hip hop before it gets too scuffed up like my light greyblue nike's

[@dallastexax]

Nice Shit, keep it coming homie underdround for life. SAY NO TO WHACK RAPPERS !

[@creaper587]

[@peebuttfartmouth]

[@xShinyGlitterx]

[@Damnstrait50]

[@arivel09]

[@KDAWGx7777777]
