Theophilus London - Why Even Try ft. Sara Quin ( Official Video )

[@Nate-ii5fj]

Should’ve blew up. Classic before it’s time

[@drewchandler8228]

This song bring back memories. Summer 2011, I had my first apartment, and I would get off work and stay up late as shit. MTV would play this constantly at like 3-4 a.m. Just vibing, good times.

[@michaelsejeong418]

nice one aint it 😊

[@vonteboyd1849]

I remember it well! Same situation

[@jack1uptone963]

Yes, this is the type song that reminds you of a fun summer or fun time in your life.

[@iammoabitus9206]

Same. My first apartment, LA memories ✨🥰✨

[@mondzy89]

hell ya. it was mtvu right?

[@EverythingIsMahogany]

Miss this era bro. Kids today will never understand man. Last of the cool kids.before social media really fully took over

[@Alamoe1]

They'll never understand, NEVER. The 2009-2014 era was gold.

[@EverythingIsMahogany]

@@Alamoe1 Yea bro. I can second that

[@zoixia4139]

my dad always played this song when we were little. It was on a cd in his small old truck bc we were broke. It’s been several years, i’ve always remembered this song, but forgot how it went, forgot the lyrics,forgot the beat,forgot the rythm, forgot everything about it other than it was a rap song, had girls singing, and that i loved it. That is SO general, after 3 years of trying to find it, my dad after playing tons and tons of songs finally played this one, my eyes lit up and i freaked tf out, IT WAS THIS SONG. AND I STILL LOVE IT AND IM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND IT 😊😊

[@winningcapital2313]

Ur dad has good music taste

[@HeathOverledger]

@@winningcapital2313exquisite music taste at that

[@Boogie___816]

That feeling is irreplaceable

[@hiawathasrevenge6208]

You're Dad has great taste. This song is on repeat in my place.

[@tripttwe]

I've searched for it for about an hr. His name finally popped up in my head after thorough Google searches. I'm writing this to say- I know the feeling.

[@savaunbrown]

a core memory from my childhood is heavily associated w this song

[@squidward_tortelllini]

[@osirishill23]

It bugs me out hearing kids say this cause to me it doesn’t seem that long ago haha

[@endhovianse8072]

He is very good and underrated But slow down with genius bro😅

[@S7VNofA0NE]

Perfectly said 🙌🏾

[@Clifffields]

Still listening well into 2023❤

[@TheEormsby]

It was the 80's retro sound of this song that caught my attention. I haven't heard anything like it in 25 years. I love it.

[@farfromu626]

I've mixed audio for video for Theophilus for live streaming at SXSW two years in a row and all I can say is that this guy is legit. He has a presence about him that cannot be taken away. No matter how popular, how one-hit wonder people may try to make him, he will always be unique in my book. And he's good to his crew.

[@J2V89]

Such a good song. I remember when it aired back in 2011 on MTV Jams & MTV Hits.

[@Honeydippin95]

Yeivi Hernandez Bro Heeeell yesss I remember those days when this came on that channel 👌🏾👌🏾💯

[@letsbefair2675]

[@giovannicazares3110]

[@monalisa2013]

[@adsumabyss]

[@AKsince]

I love this song, the video is bomb as hell. reminds me of pop 80s. we need more artists like this....NOT THE NEW BOYZ! >___>

[@kayokilledjack]

[@malikminor4031]
