The message alone made this the best rap song of all times.

[@ashleighsalinas8526]

This song is perfect! Love the subject matter and bars, the beat with the synth bass and backup vocals. The video adds to the heart wrenching stories.. It's timeless and goes hard af 32 years later. The first time I heard it I was so moved that I cried

One of the greatest Rap songs of all time and I'm not a true rap or hip hop fan. The production is flawless and bluesy as you can get in a hip hop song. The lyrics are also real as fv*k!
