Black Star - Little Brother Lyrics

This was on the Hurricane soundtrack came out later on on a 12" single,they performed this track live on Jimmy Fallon simply put with backup from The Legendary Roots Crew one of my favorite television late night experience!!!!😉😀😄😃🤔

Wow J Dilla was amazing !!! Miss you Little Brother RIP James ( J Dilla ) Yancey !!

That song moves me..especially having sons

STILL listening in 2019 & BEYOND. ✋ Playing, Player.

This beat... is godly.

*consciousness* 💭

In the current political climate we live in, I believe a New BlackStar album is in order.🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

I love this music wow thank you blessed

Only Dilla could take a teaser from Pete Rock and C.L Smooth "The Main Ingredient " joint and make a classic 🐐🔥🔥

ill track fosho

AWWWW MAN

mad luv

Pete Rock took the best part of it. J Dilla loved it just like the rest of us who heard in in 1994. He loved it soooo much that he tried to get more out of it...but there really was nothing left of it. If you listen to what Pete Rock did it was good enough. It doesn't really sound good stretched out like this. It's like concentrated orange juice (Dillas Version) compared to Orange juice Not from concentrate mixed with pulp( Petes Version)... Go back and Listen to The Main Ingredient album by Pete Rock And CL Smooth, and tell me me if how it eases it's way in and out in between wasn't so perfect and enough. (Right at the end of the 1st Track In The House/Right at the beginning of the 2nd Track Caramel City) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lTL5zy2OgrqxLeNlla-SQ82y8o80PDUaI

Remember when I first heard this.. I was dippin around Spelman with my guys Merlin and Mr Rictor... we were like 'yo! He said Black like Morehouse @!'

Roy Ayers

Folks dont get how dope Mos is... Kweli is equal and Dilla is a genius

MOs def and Talib Kewli bodie the flow in a away I can’t compare anything too in this one.

Black community needs more music like this

I wasn’t born in this time but this real music

roy ayers - aint got time is the sample

Miss this...South Africa

Because of all the talking Roy Ayers did in the original composition, Dilla had to cut the parts and arrange it by hand as opposed to the regular way of sampling. #BRILLIANT.

Real shit zg

Who came here after Little Brother Documentary?

Mos Def is honestly my favorite MC of all time because I have probably heard 50+ songs from him, and never once have I heard him say a wack lyric designed to stunt, or get attention. Every single bar is from the soul. Every single stanza rhymes perfectly from start to finish. It's not even rap, it's poetry. His rhymes are like parables.

He doesn't hate the youngins in the game, he gets why they act the way they do. He knows we are all brothers and seeks to show people the light and help them learn from his experiences. That's love. That's wisdom. Not a lot of people like that in the world - nonetheless famous ones who have millions of fans - who could easily turn to the evils of the world and sell out their brothers and sisters for material. God Bless you Yasiin Bey.

Thanks for helping me make it through the hard times. Words cannot express the love I have for you and your craft man. Much love. Stay true.

Word man. Kweli always says he writes 90% about spirituality, social issues and knowledge. While writes about himself for the remaining 10%. He is such a deep mind. A god MC. And what about his vocals when he gets serious with it? Suiting. Plus you can't get tired of his flow. He's a genius.

This beat🔥🔥🔥🔥 Blackstar killed it... Rip JDilla

Peace, I remember this from back day!

I'm from the 90'$ kid! I miss and love reality beats like this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤💿💿💿💿💿

Imagine my feeling finding this only now. Holy shit.

Who here now, I need real ness I appreciate this type of music

So dope.

2019 O still lit

I didn't really like this song at first, but now i'm starting to appreciate the genius behind it, the lyrics, the vibe, and the beat most importantly, R.I.P J. DIlla, and long live dilla, and blackstar.

Dilla could feel and hear what others overlooked and turn it into the most important moment to build a beat around.

Best beat ever

"...utilize my experience to guide your step..." Mos Def

Thank god dilla didn’t didn’t delete this before questlove woke up ! RIP Mr Yancey ! 🙏🏼

Dope 😎

Great Song

Where can I buy this?

I call this the Charle Brown song/music..One of my favorite songs.👍🏿🤟🏾🤙🏾🖖🏾👌🏿

Why do I hear The Peanuts in this joint?

Dilla was the shit damn

Black Starr Forever

"if it's real, who need to deal with the special effects?"

First time hearing this still feel so close to home as if I've been listening to this my whole life, Dilla will alway's live forever.

No Jcole, Earl sweatshirt, Joey Bad A$$,Kendrick Lamar, J.I.D or who ever, will EVER make the beautiful art of hip hop like this, they can’t they literally where born in a different era in the world

One of my favorite Dilla beats.

gogo j dillAAA

I really don't want to speak on my brother Isaac Reyes. The hatred fall from my music matrix. I see the racist facist turn dangerous. This something my anger switched. This cuts razor thin. The lost of a brother feels like a lost relationship. I love woman yet I can't change her mix. I know how to loose the most important moments. I hope the audience stays golden. You need love like water in motion. I will say this for hopeless. When you miss the love in the open, love closes. Life is messed up and toasted. Family Reunions only happens at funerals at the coldest. I hope you put the weapons down. People are clowns untill something real throwdown. I got that slow sound. If I released my hospital pictures, people will be to busy on liquor. I miss him like my other brother Jesse Reyes. I lost two brothers I painted. I hope this grenade pin reaches the sky like firework on my lifeline. Your eyesight only reach my pain on this blindside. This is my time. They more funerals I reach is the closer I am to my final heartbeat.  I am sorry my music does release more things like morphine in my vein when people are boring. This hold no intro because pistols aim in this gripple like secrets give hope with info. If I had my brothers back, I could only imagine me having better tracks. I would have red jazz with r and b soul. Love is out of control. I have music to uphold.  We huddle. We all from emotions to disappear from the negative. My mega script lost grip. Love has been fallen. We need to polish our memories instead of turning into an alcoholic. I open a water faucet. We are in the generation of counting our losses. I sorry about the forgotten. Sometimes, the people need some reference on my love.  The people I think of will fly above. When I thought of this on my birthday, people will hate in the first place. My young intentions have me in some worse days. I guess life memories hit today. I remember doomsday everytime I reach the limits of my boomplay. I doubt my music is the rhythm you will play as the truth fades. My potential increases and never delays. I hope you don't put my bars on replay. I am trying to evade the question the audience in deep change. Will rip songs every cherish a human life? Will guns and assualt rifle bring back lost time? Do people have die or sucide before thier intentions get crucified? I let the bass amplify because everybody has one life and take love for granted tonight. We need to unite to give love to old school tonight.  My brother died at 25 before his time. My other died around 40 inside the lords sign. People are dying young in our generation. I hope you love yourself in our generation. This my dedication to rap. Perhaps, the gun and cash are here untill I collapse and end up in the hospital when my nerves crashed. I have flash backs of being backstabbed. I rather leave on a amtrack. The weight of death feels like an avalanche. Time pass. People forget the impact of family and give it a chance.  Sometimes, we need to take a stand. This is passion. I can't fix death yet I could set and example rapid. People drop the gun and ammo. The world is flammable to brighten our future and stop being an asshole. You don't need drug to make a difference and troll will get you caught in laughter as you hit gravel. When death comes for you? You will see why love is overdue. people turn into a colder fool. I guess life has rules untill bullets fly and control her mood.  Love is passes the statue the fallen image of a persons attitude untill some people are mad fools trying to kill the love and attitude. Death and love passes you. Love needs a rapid boost. I vanish cool. People need fantastic news.

Still a dope tune and Mos Def’s reflection and coming of age rhyme in this song is so fucking dope!😌

Dilla rest in peace

J dilla extremely dope real hip hop will never die

We need this kind of music on the radio. I am sick of all the negative stereotype pandering towards black people. This is real, intellectual, and from the heart.

I want to be Mos Def and Talib Kweli

Dilla what a gem my God

RIP DILLA!!!! Yasin and Talib killed this!! Wish a whole album was made

this is the instrumental used at the end of 'in the house' by pete rock. love it

I LOVE this song! It's weird cuz it ain't a banger.... Or a track with that warmth (if anyone knows what I mean) like 2u4u or climax or nag Champa or so many other Dilla tracks. But this shit grew on me. I wasn't on it so hard when I 1st heard it. But after a few listens I started liking it.

Dilla was a samurai when it came to chopping a sample, because he was that precise.

Thank you Dilla 😌

Black Star Forever 💯🔥🎤

Classic!
