I love this it has such a 90's vibe to it Cole knows how to pick them I just hate that his artist don't get the recognition they deserve

Salute to the legendary J Dilla and Lute is such a dope MC.

Lute's authenticity really lets you take a walk in his shoes.

Been listening to this since it came out, gets even better over time 🙏🏼

Song gets better the more I hear it

I love how Big Pooh rolls up haha! J dilla beats are timeless and Lute did it justice fr, This is a timeless classic

RIP Dilla the Greatest! After all these years your amazing instrumentals are still being done justice by this revamped era of hiphop 🙏🏾😎

lmfao the way his cousin slid in and said "yo what up, why you back bruh" had me laughing

Your cousin a real one

Nostalgia in 2017! Great hip-hop never dies!!!

My guy just dropped visuals for the National Struggle Anthem

I like the concept of this track and how he let other people do the talking when he was talking about what they said. That was dope. I've never heard of this dude before but I fw his stuff now, it's def got that old school/J Cole kinda vibe

Hip Hop that speaks to a black man's spirit.

Man I almost cry every time i hear this, emptied out my tear ducts a couple times with it when I needed it bad. So much positivity here. Talking bout everyone that wants to see him to succeed, and even though that would be the end goal, you're already lucky to have people like that to support you. I feel so much hope hearing this, all it takes is him just acknowledging his appreciation for these guys for me to feel validated in every way. Cried again writing this, you simply cannot fabricate that soul. I'm still slummin, I haven't gone anywhere yet, but I take a step back every now and then so I can get a good look at what's in front of me and maybe see it differently. I hope everyone gets it right at some point.

Lute makes me feel like I'm in the 90s and I love it.

Rip J Dilla

I resonate with him so much that’s why he’s one of my favorite artists now

Y’all don’t know HOW HAPPY it makes me to hear that the art of real MC’in didn’t get trampled and lost in this current wack abyss of coked up sexed up ni@@as mumblin’ in triplets. A Breakfast Club interview with Rapsody led me into a Rapsody rabbit hole, which eventually brought me here. I’m like ‘How come I ain’t never heard of Lute!!?!?’ I know I sound like an old head here, but this right here is real. Pen to paper. Skills. Bars.

Man this song always hits

This is the best track from that project and that's saying something as they were all great: "Lost more friends to bullshit than a bullet" Shit hits different bruh

Aaaaaah, J Dills. This beat's a dreamy gem

Who here after rotd3 💪🏾 lute definitely being added to the playlist, yessssss I'm a bandwagonist 😂😂😂

im 100% mexican and this song getts me through my day at work in construction

The Charlotte rapper does justice to Dilla's In Space!!! Lute's West 1996 Pt.2 is definitely the most impressive,solid,mature and powerful hip-hop album of the year!

His cousin is the energy I need everyday

DOPE! *My jam right here, West 1996 Pt. 2 is not to be slept on!*

Damn the soul is strong with this one can’t wait till he gets more attention

CHARLOTTE WE HERE BABYYYYYYYY CLT STAND UP

That Big Pooh cameo made me smile. Dude is always riding hard for NC

Your cousin a real one💯

Man you and @cozz are smashing it bro. Keep going bruh. Yall got this.

We got something with this dude..

Ay damn that this for struggle. This for the truth. Peace. Prosperity. A higher meaning and understanding. Love to this that continue to strive for deeper meaning and focus.

Prices Chicken Coop a legendary Charlotte place and Elevator Jay in the video this is sooooo dope

Remember listening to this dudes music early in his career hes an inspiration

Lute... you just motivated me so much.. THANK YOU MY NIGGA 😂💯🤘🏽

Love the little brother big pooh appearance. First ones imo that put NC on, excluding petey pab

yoo son in the chicken coop 😂

J Dilla made beats in the 90s and the still sound so fresh, ice cold even

The soul in this song...

esse cara é muito bom, muita luz pra você Lute

Incredible track. Just promise you never change, I don't care just how you do it, fuck them niggaz you aint gotta prove shit/ Been waiting on this video for a minute! 100% Dope

Still in rotation, February 2023.

this guy is being slept on 😔 started listening to him last week n can't stop

I dont think yahh realized that J.cole is a back up vocal in the hook. Am i the only one who caught dat?

This man is too underrated :( He needs the same exposure that JID and Bas have gotten man. Cole needs to shout him out or do a song with him cause this man is too talented to not blow up

thank you for this energy now

He said "the fact that you yo self, that's what make you different" 🔥

RIP J Dila he did good in this beat

I hope he make the song home a video

Just got the news Price's Chicken Coop was closing in a few days, I had to come revisit this video! Lute you're a real one 🔥🔥🔥💯

3 yrs later and this song still lit 💯👌🏾

Im sorry for sleeping on you lute iam now awake 🔥🔥

'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right Took off my work badge, realize I'm back in the hood Like what's good, my cousin called, told me he coming through Like "Yo what up, why you back bruh? See you should be laying tracks with J. Cole and who knows Maybe he sign yo ass See I don't know just how this rap thing go From the looks of it you closer than most niggas that I know Please explain, way I see it bruh, you paving lanes What you don't believe cause boy your songs did some things for me Had me thinking we was trapped, but lute you set us free Niggas stay focused, when it's right for you, it's meant to be Every time I play a song you gain a fan Nigga you the man, drop a song, what you waiting on? You in high demand and that's life Only one time to get it right Take a flight, view this world from a different height See this hood still the same, no matter how you view it You got dreams, I just rather you pursue it Just promise you never change, I don't care just how you do it Fuck them niggas you ain't gotta prove shit And see this hood still the same, no matter what you doing So for you I empty out a whole clip" I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right As I let the Chevy skate, like Trae Waynes back in the day Wish upon these stars like "God, show me that way" Cause ain't no looking back Been in the trap so long, I'm tired of shooting back Keep your eyes peeled, don't let the steel hit you Envy be that bitch that fuck the niggas that chill with you That's why I can never trust these niggas Trigger finger itchin', contemplating should I pull it Lost more friends to bullshit than a bullet Brother Pooh called me up, he told me stay consistent "The fact that you yourself what make you different Like fuck the gold chains, diamond rings Keep your eyes on the prize, that don't make a difference Cause you're still a young king without the bling Keep your eyes on the prize, shine on these niggas" I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right

Dropping life advice is the perfect recipe on a dilla beat :)

Shoutout to Dreamville for blessing my ears and mind. Lute is dope.✌🏼🔥🇿🇦

Who here 2023?

I just love how it reminds me not to give up on my vision, no matter where i'm at....
