Seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever. bustin' shots that are immaculate that saxophone Mos's verse Mos's singing

 

[Danie84]

This was a great moment in Hip-Hop.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

the first respiration is a really dark track then the remix is light and pretty I don't know which one I like more

When the night time covers the city like a cloak, I approach and assemble my hopes, into notes

 

[ryderldb]

Beautiful song. Beautiful album

 

[aceboon]

*remembers when this was #1 on Rap City for like a month straight*

 

[alpo]

[FukkaPaidEmail]

this song was instrumental in building my hip hop taste

the first real concious jawn i ever discovered, opened up a whole new world

Real shyt...this was one of the first albums I got my hands on during my freshman year of college ..shyt really made me change my taste in music..Started to look at those Soulja Boy & Gorilla Zoe mp3s on my itunes like ..the fukk was I thinking about back then.

Classic shyt...

This is literally how I got turned on to hip hop. Before I just listened to whatever was on the radio and like 6 years ago my roommate was playing black star and after that it's history.

There's not many songs that can legitimately be called "The Perfect Song", but this is one of 'em. From the beat, to the lyrics, to the vibe, to the video...everything about the song is perfect.

If someone who had NEVER heard Hip Hop before came to me and said: "ok, show me the best you got", this is one of the first, if not THE first songs I'd play for 'em. It's absolutely timeless.

First and last hip hop song i ever fell in love with.
