"Many battles are losable, losing isn't unusual.

one of the nominees for most underated song in history

many battles are losable, losing isn't unusual, life is brutal but beautiful, birth alludes to a funeral

Masta Ace is so underrated. He's one of the greatest honestly.

this is why I love hip hop. it aint black it aint white, real hiphop is just realism at its finest!

I can't lie Masta Ace's verse goes so hard in this.

so dangerous, the ads are even scared to go before the song

People like this really deserve more respect, they're all so talented and they don't get the recognition they deserve while Nicki Minaj is a thing.

This song is truly a masterpiece beautiful verses all around.

life is brutal, but beautiful.

"I'm the Don: Corleone, Cornelius, Trump, King" R.A.'s verse is so good I actually had trouble breathing listening to it the first time listening because I was trying to figure out what he was saying. Your boy really is dangerous.

When R.A said life is brutal but beautiful" I got the chills!

No disrespect to R.A. (Who still happens to be one of my all-time favorite MC's and kills it on this track,as usual) or the great Ace, but Brother Ali just seems to keep getting better every time he puts out new material. Hopefully he'll be getting his way overdue props here soon, he just continues to amaze me as his talent evolves

RA is criminally underrated

I freaking love when brother ali gets ignorant for a minute

Can we just acknowledge how dope this Mr Green beat is and how perfectly they all handle it, Ace's cadence is so effortlessly nasty. I'll never get over this song it hits so hard no matter how many times i listen to it.
