    For those who don't know, Step 1: watch Do The Right Thing (Spike Lee flick). Steps 2 thru 4: love BK, love Bedstuy, love Black People!

    Visually/Lyrically/Production wise this piece just surpassed prolly 90% of the nonsense on mainstream outlets. So glad these hybrid dslr's, protools, microphones etc. are finding their way to artist with passion - they create whatever they want. Love this one, much respect.

    this is by far one of SPEC BOOG's best songs.
    VON kilt this as well.
    Im originally from Ft. Greene so I cant get too jelly over this beat but if I was from the Stuy originally, I'd sooo want this beat. such a dope flip of such an understated moment in a spike lee film. how brooklyn is that? the SAMPLE IS A SPIKE LEE CLIP IN AMOVIE ABOUT BROOKLYN (BED-STUY)
    kudos all around my niggs.
    word.

    peep my video:
