    This is a great track. Listened to it a lot recently and really enjoyed the sound and the emotion of the lyrics.

    To me, this is the peak of emotional hip hop. This track hits this perfect spot where it doesn't even try to sacrifice the groove and the soul that you'd want. There's no toning anything down to give the subject matter some more weight. In a way, that actually works more for the message than going for a serious and heavy tone would've done. One day you're here, and then you're gone.

    This song really stirs up some mixed emotions in me, and I think it does that better than almost anything else in hip hop. It's weird, because I wanted to quote some lyrics but they look so basic compared to the feelings they carry for me. There's something haunting about hearing stories about very personal accounts of death surrounded by the sweetest and smoothest vocals you've ever heard and while reflecting on the suddenness of it all. I just want to hug everyone close to me whenever I put this on.
