Overall Meaning

The song "Talk" by Crosby Nash & Young is a rap-style track that features lyrics from artist Young B Black. The song is essentially an anthem to living large and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. The lyrics talk about living extravagantly, with big bottles and big money, and feeling blessed and grateful for the good times. The chorus repeats the phrase "this how we live" several times, reinforcing the idea that the lifestyle being described is the norm for the artist.


One interesting aspect of the lyrics is that they feature a mix of slang and more traditional English. For example, the phrase "big crip got blue strips" refers to a gang affiliation and is very specific slang, while the phrase "I do shit I do shit" is simply a repetition of a common phrase. This mix of language and style speaks to the blending of cultures and influences that often takes place in the music industry.


Another notable aspect of the song is its focus on gratitude and appreciation. Despite the flashy lifestyle being described, the artist takes time to acknowledge his blessings and thank God for his good fortune. This positivity and humility is somewhat rare in modern rap music, which often focuses on materialism and braggadocio.

My daughter and her girlfriend, attending UCSB, were having dinner at a Mexican Food place near the Campus one night, in the late '1990s...
My daughter saw this man sitting alone at another table there, and kept looking over at him; she said she thought she knew him from somewhere..
He eventually saw them looking over and invited them over to his table..
They talked a while, had a pleasant conversation..
Later, my daughter remembered him!!! He was on the cover of the Deja' Vu Album I played for her and her sister when they were little kids..
I played all genre of music to them early on, so they could learn about all music, and appreciate it.
The man she recognized from the Deja' Vu album was David Crosby !!!
He eventually told them who he was...
She told him she recognized his face from a record album her Dad (Me) played to her and her sister, many times, when they were little kids..
David Crosby was very happy to know this..
He even paid for their meals when he left..
If I could only imagine what that night must have been like for her !!!!
David Crosby!!! :)
No One will ever be able to duplicate what this man did for the group !!! His voice !!!
You can hear it in any song he sings in!!! It is absolutely amazing !!!!
Listen to him sing in just the chorus of "Something Fine", by Jackson Browne..
The last chorus of this song - he takes his harmony to another most beautiful, higher, perfect, level, that one can imagine...
All of them = genius level musicians... David Crosby = that Voice..... :)

Stephen Stills was the force behind that band. At the height of his powers and youth he was untouchable and inspirational.

Andy McKerral

For all the kids out there just now discovering CSN, do a YouTube search on Steven Stills's band "Manassas", and get a master's education on guitar playing. That band was a Who's Who of 70s musicians, and the creataivity and production of the sound still holds up to modern standards.

The others were in many ways stills back up and.

Miguel Cruz

Crosby by far has the Harmony's well balanced For CSN.. without him CSN never thought OUT as a Harmony band.🙌

Pascale Cnto

Stephen was the only real master of instrumentation in CSN, on top of being a great songwriter and vocalist. Nash & Crosby's strengths were mainly in singing/songwriting, but on the instrument playing side Nash was ok, and Crosby was quite average.

Scott Tobkes

I agree Stills was always the most talented

"Déjà vu" is pure MAGIC, a powerful and soulful album, I have the vinyl to this day. A true Classic band like no other! ❤
CSN is truly everlasting!

These four men are each phenomenal in their own ways. But put them together and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I am lucky to have seen them all in concert.
