wow people in utube comments arent racist pricks ALL the time.... lol something surprises me every day about the internet. sorry for ur loss tho. my father passed away last september. songs will instantly bring u back to a moment with a loved one. thats why good music is so powerful. u associate a song with an individual and it is there forever. that bond between the 3 of you can never be broken.... but now a days these moronic rap "fans" wanna hear music from these clowns in skirts and skin tight girl jeans. redundant repetitive hollow lyrics. nothing will be remembered from this current generation of rap music. rap needs another 50cent. as bad as he was now he was a monster when he got on. these days we got riff raff lil b migos asap mob and the chicago goons.... a bnch of bad "music"...lol sorry for rambling but this song is dope as fuck as i have a lot of good memories associated with this one... crazy how a song can mean so much to two people in two totally different ways.... THATS THE POWER OF MUSIC

[@coffeeNcreambaby]

mark barrett Thanks for your words, yes, music is very powerful, and I often feel like the days of the best music is behind us..I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.....It's nice tho when music can bring you back to another time, another place....as for music today, there are a few good ones now, but very few and far between....I can't listen to commercial radio, I usually jus listen to my mp3 player or i make a cd of the good stuff, my favs, typically music from 2002 or older, stuff that they don't play on the radio anymore.
