Skateboarded to this song every sunset in Pasadena, CA - this song encompassed a time in music and hip-hop that was still very pure

@midknightlife

Adrienne Arambula this comment makes me come back to this song so much because I have been out in Cali 2x this year and it was my first time as an adult and that Cali song is just so damn poetic.

@emaricarter4885

Mos Def to me will always be that b-boy afrofuturist/afrocentric rapper, but man he went in soulful vocals on this one. Quintessential
