Swang is perfect for bumping a midnight cruise in the city, in a caddy with the windows rolled down

[@terminalva]

"Swang" is a DOPE TRACK!!! I LOVE all of the versions, but the MJ version for sure SLAPS!!! Wish Rod Temperton would've let that one ride, though. Now I GOTTA play the track!!!

[@tonton6781]

RIP Hawk

[@kevindube7096]

Can’t wait for this one to drop in full, for sure going to be a much needed conversation to be “fly on the wall” to

[@uproxx]

It's a great episode!

[@prof3ssor178]

A real one right here! I can't wait to see the full interview!! Salute

[@michelleg9972]

Much Respect to Trae! I still listen to 25 lighters and Swang! I was 18 when Pat's life got stolen. It's hard to say rest in peace when someone murders you, it's like your soul is just floating around. May justice be served soon!!!!!!!!

Man I remember when that joint first dropped I heard it one late night while driving around the semi empty streets of Bmore. It came on Shade45 on satellite radio. I was home from the Marine Corp dealing with a ton of shit including being in a lot of pain mentally and physically (more physical though from my multiple surgeries). I’m driving as I tend to do late night trying to clear my head floating on my pain meds and when this joint came on it took me to a whole new level. It helped me get through a lot and still does to this day.

Nothing but Love & Respect for Trae tha Truth❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾RIP to all our fallen entertainers

[@uproxx]

[@TkKirkland-lm5wv]

Get that restless album. It jams. His song with z-ro is classic ..pop trunk wave or screw already warned me are slamming as well

[@erikybarra1841]

Nah not really that's when he started collabong with garbage rappers like Yung Joc and jim Jones. Wasn't feelin' it as a classic. Same Thing Different Day was better

[@noble7461]

Swang and swang and swang to da leeeft!

[@gazzabethyname]

Big legend

[@hassanigourna]

[@Lerf8]

Why your kid with you, be professional. I don't bring my kid to work.

[@CJsmuuv]

Every body on that song died 😢 that’s fucked up

[@TexasTakeover]

Mayne, it sucks that Trae had to go, and ruin everything he worked for, and did for the city

[@momososo1901]

No hate but the new blackstar was disappointing and rip pimp c, mike dean and everybody

[@patricesankara3081]

I hate the fact that I didn't love it. I wanted to love that album so much
