"The truth is you ugly. Not on the outside, but on the inside, you frontin' you lovely. The discovery of these things and all the well hidden.. but when you in denial of self its forbidden, thats the truth." Pharoah so true. June2021 here yall. Been here since the beginning
I had this CD, it was hard to come by at its normal price cause it was out of print. Remember reading the booklet on the inside and found that this track was sampled from Harvey Mandel's track, Cristo Redentor.
such a great track too bad talib got weird since then
How come a classic only has 72k views (as of today obviously, if you're reading this it has more but still not enough)
Common is the weak link in this
One of the best examples of the more poetic style of hip hop, the writing is phenomenal.
let the truth be told
One of my favorite hip hop tracks of all time. Period.
Still a Classick Album!
A masterpiece in 3 minutes and 25 seconds
this is rap
I remember my homie at Morgan State got an early copy of this album because he worked at the radio station. This song still blows me away

"outta everyone I know, who told the truth? …….
time did.
1:10 – 1:20 ….. It's little stuff like this that makes Pharoah Monch albums so different from other rappers….. He goes leaps and bounds beyonds others
Did Lupe Fiasco paid royalties for Kick Push?
He almost stole the whole beat.
It's just speed up the temple
This joint got that classic sound. Rawkus had it locked down.
Talib is so magic.
Why can I like this only once?
Tried to wake up one of ex girlfriend off this track.. the knowledge in Hip Hop is missing today! Queens in the house
Really love Talib's verse
Timeless gem.
Can’t be iller than this…,
Takes me back the Killeen High 2000..love it
Taking you on a hip hop journey.
Raw, to real for tight pant rappers of today!!!

Truth is this is what hip hop was built on entertaining message music entertaining
