god damn this song is cool. The beat is all next level up in the 150 bpms but sometimes theres no snares so it sounds like high 70's. Lyrics about diggin' crazy rapping/singing. I know this came out in '01 but I slept then, this is awesome! Where can I hear more stuff like this?

    hot weird beat but some of devin's worst feel-good cheese, almost as bad as "unity for you and me" on the latest shit.

    sometimes being the operative word. It gets dropped for over 4 bars several times in the song.

    and i quote

    "It's still the same ain't shit really changed
    Some people gonna complain if you grown just gone and do your thang
    Either rap or sang, but there's a chill
    Take a chance if you will, try and enjoy everyday
    When you're at work with no play
    Cause either way somebody's gonna say"

    come on dude that sounds like a diet coke commercial.

    feel-good = "summertime" by the future hitch. I'm down with that.

    "i hi" = schmaltz.
