Scary: Joell Ortiz “Never Sleep” video
Posted by Miss Info under life beyond rap , new music , videos[16] Comments
There’s alot of realness happening tonite, mang.
Love/hate this new video from the homie Joell Ortiz, directed by Wraithe, produced by Probz, sent over by Legend/Onsmash, yada yada. Joell tells a most descriptive story of crack addiction.
*shiver*
Something that alot of people struggle with, and even when they “win” that battle, its at the cost of having to be on guard for life.

Damn why can’t all hip hop be stuffed with realness like this and creative stuff (e.g. XXL 2009 Freshman class)?
Love me some J.Ortiz

Yo Joell is the truth. How come he can’t get a major deal, but wack ass Rick Ross can get one and mad promotion money. Hip Hop has become backwards. I’m about to start listen to Jazz.

Nice track. Very good introspective concept. I felt like I was there or knew the addict in question.

Man this is what we need in hip hop, that realness.
If your from the ghetto, every one knows close friends or family that got out therfe bad.
And every time you young cats pop those pill, sip that drank or get high, remeber how easy it is to go south.

I think that what we’ve heard from Joell so far is nothing compared to where he has the potential to take it to. He’s gonna surprise a lot of people.
