I originally made a thread on this in the general hip hop forum, but I feel as if a bigger audience should be exposed to this song, since not a lot of folks visit General Hip Hop forum.

Realest shit I've heard in the last 15 years or so. Crooked-I even shouts out Oscar Grant. Everyone's verses are full of substance, lyrics, wordplay, metaphors, multi's, you name it. The production is top notch. This is what rap should be!

Hope you guys feel this as much as I did.

Joell Ortiz - Move On [Remix] feat. Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9" & Crooked I VIDEO

Just curious, what about it did you think was boring?

I thought the production was really cool. And the content of the song, well they pretty much spoke on all there is wrong with today's media and rap music. Each of the verses contributed to the over all content of the song, from each of the rappers' own perspectives and life experiences.

I've been sleeping on Joell Ortiz. I've never even heard of him before this song. I thought his verse was pretty good though.

And yea, Crook's verse was the hardest I thought. All though I thought Joe's was good too, as was everyone else's.

I hear ya. To me it has a lot to do with the production for the most part though. Nas and Crook, for example, are both "real hop hop" lyricists, yet they can flow over mob beats. Where as Mos Def and Kwali usually rap over "hip hop" beats, which I'm not a fan of.
