Originally, this song was written to a track that wasn't mine. I felt that the lyrics were too real, too raw, and too honest to leave behind as a mixtape single. So I made this version to make it an original.
This i also found on Kanye's blog. funny tho, cuz while browsing thru iTunes the other day i found Really Doe's album. heard it... and thought... hmmm.. dude is kinda nice.. gonna give it another spin in a few.. dope video tho. i'm a sucker for lens flares and shit.. Lol..
Yep, ya'll seen my boy AlBe on ATL, HBO Def Poetry, co-starring w/me on SPIT, featured on Kanye West's "Graduation" album with Mos Def and a bunch of other shit we done did... peep his first of 3 videos to be released for this song. the song is retarded HOT... which is why its on HOT 97 right now on mega rotation... enjoy. ps.. our team gotta lot of swag too... and poetic wisdom... ;)
Yeaaaaaa, its a hot song... Kanye rips his verse tho... "Let the MC search and reach third base" wow... do ur research on that one if its flying over your head... props to Kanye on that one.. Drake kills it too... Every other dude out there who isn't in this video is thinking "damn, how come they didn't call me...." lol.. swag is crazy... when u in the swag club... u just know it... Lol
This song is dedicated to my brother Ziiinc Blue who passed away in Oct of 2002. You can Download this Remix for Free HERE If you want the original please go to iTunes and support Lupe.. he's one of the realest Rappers out there... and btw, the cover photo could not have been possible without the help of Mediamoiselle.com thank you!

now, here's a picture of me and Thosh from Feb 2008. showing you how retarded fashion can get if you take it a lil overboard. ok.... now.... take a look at this video below of Taz ( SA RA / Good music) and you tell me what you think? and lets get this straight... i'm NOT HATIN.. i'm just saying... there's been alot of shit i've done first and never got credit for it.
just like i said publicly that i was going to record my Dilla inspired mixtape in 24hrs. and then Saigon does it and gets all the credit.. its cool. but dammmmmm. can i get some luv.. shit...
and YES, i took this pic above to make fun of the fashion game nowadays. but it was all in good fun. i'm glad hip hop is back to the "cool" era. and i support anyone who promotes the art in hip hop over the violence... ya DIG??? thats it...
OVEOUS embodies brilliant lyricism with a powerful performance. Perhaps his greatest strength is that he was able to turn his brother's suicide into a global mission for mental healing and the positive uplifting of all people he comes across with thru his music. He earned a standing ovation on HBO Def Jam and has been a winner multiple times on "Showtime at the Apollo". His now classic hit song "Mirror Dance" with Osunlade still rocks the core of your soul on the dance floor. Working with Louie Vega, Boddhi Satva, and Osunlade has put him on the path of artists to watch grow. Oveous is a Rapper, Vocalist, & Producer who makes music to help your heart, beat. So Don't miss the Beat!
