I bought this cd the day it came out because I was having knee surgery the next day. After I got home from the hospital, I played the album version of this song on loop for 2 straight days. It’s still raw 15 years later

[@Tim_EF718]

Yahoo music 2004... via aol and shit lol

[@s.c.8296]

That's how it was in the 90s..... these young cats these days have no clue how it was before. Ordering a song on the box waiting at the tv for ot to come. Watching MTV. Bumping the radio..... copying cassettes...... now we got youtube and spotify..... they are spoiled.... 40 bucks for a new cd bro...... 😂✌️

[@therealmikebrown]

​@@s.c.8296Nah bro, me and my friends been listening to MP3s since 97. Burning CDs to put in the portable player. Making sure you have over 5 seconds of skip protection. Turning the volume all the way up on the radio and the portable player...

[@PositiveNature]

Much respect to the young man at the end with the daughter, and others like him. Humble men with priorities, who know nothing is too demeaning when you need to feed your family.

[@daoppgrvyrd777]

Forgot about this classic

[@bjmarks24]

That's 💯

[@matguerra333]

ITS MAKE BELIEVE BRO.

[@Ginga]

You have to love The Roots in that there is no song that defines them. They've produced so many quality songs, different people like certain songs more. Best hip-hop group of all time.

[@Rgnotown]

Love when the drums kick in, my wife and I use to always play this jam when we first got together. Can’t wait to play it on our road trip.

[@brianoliver9024]

The Hardest

[@countzacula0121]

Sly & the Family Stone brought me here 🤘🏽 with their classic funk record “Everybody is a Star circa 1969-1970!

[@PercivalFromWales]

I love how the song kicks in after that initial sample, as if it is a torch, lit by the original and taken to new hights by a new generation.🔥

The Roots are so underrated. Black can flow with the best of them, while giving that live band music.

[@laurapiquette9867]

A lot of times we say we didn’t chose this direction and forget to remember God put us on our paths. ❤

[@stevieking5554]

One of the best songs ever written…

[@Bati_]

The Roots = Quality over quantity.

[@TheJofrica]

Batı (TDTB) Although, they put out a LOT of good stuff. Probably, their quality and quantity is equal lol

[@MRDPAUL13]

+TheJofrica that's what I've been realizing lately, been listening to the roots all the time and you can listen to hundreds of dope songs it's insane how much good shit they made

[@emanuelwilliamz2749]

can related to the guy with his kid....having been in the game, chopping shit in the hood n all...fast cash only brings fast heat....got a lil boy now too....so the game changes....slow down, live life, live the struggle now eery daybut its for him....and my girl too...set a better example of stronger truer values....life, love and family are the three things matter the most.....getting and keepin it all together and keeping it real....that i can respect.

[@kenboogie4938]

So dope!! The rhymes, the beat. Sly and the Family Stone samples are so ill. I love this!!

[@stevenscaife4208]

The reach of The Roots love. Went to see them live in Nottingham, UK in early 2000s after the release of The Tipping Point and bought a T-shirt post show. Wore the T out in Qatar whilst serving and met an American Airman who embraced me with a hug. “Dude, that’s my favourite band, love that you have their T on”. No hello, no intro, just Roots love.

[@205breed]

My favorite Roots joint

[@jaisarmiento1188]

2019 this joint is timeless.. Roots Crew ..Everybody is a 🌟

[@rainmaker690]

Good on the Roots for a sampling a very underrated classic tune by Sly & The Family Stone. I also liked this video and how it shows real people instead of usual rappers bragging about themselves. and their material things. I used to work at a fast food place, and did all the young guy in this video was doing,lol.

[@tw1nzstrpur3]

+rainmaker690 yes i love the video.

[@tomashorvath9653]

great comment. where did you find a sample? thanks

[@tonytuffers]

That's funny because I never heard of the Sly & Family Stone original. But my parents used to play a reggae version, cant remember who sang it but it was called - Every nigga is a star, I'm not kidding!

Was reading some history about Africatown in Mobile and how Questlove is a descendant of two of the original founders. I have visited Mobile and had no idea the site was there, but I plan to visit next time I’m in the area.

[@ethanhill9460]

This was best cover from that tribute album! Original displays debt owed by popular to gospel. This song, all versions, is gospel music.

[@etrain9730]

This is next level hip hop. Timeless

[@MySignatureSoul]

When it comes to the roots, they do not get enough recognition for me.... Do you people really listen to the things they say????.... Seriously, If u could even muster a negative comment then that say's a lot about u.... You obviously do not know what real Hip Hop sounds like. What defines Hip Hop now a days needs to be buried alive and never to be heard of again.... Music like this, could change lives and influence.... I am absolutely in love with creativity, and the roots HAVE IT! Go Philly!
