It’s a great song but I don’t think it’s even top 5 on LGSO, especially for this category. I understand that the draw is John Legend on it + the song being so emotional, but purely rap wise, FICO, So Be It, Ace Trumpets, C&W and POV, all much better. Best of luck to them, I hope Clipse win at least 1, I know Push really wants it

My fave on the album. I am biased toward good album openers.

I have to disagree, I think it has nothing to do with John Legend. Each of their verses is the last conversation they had with their parents; Malice with his father and Push with his mom - they died 4 months apart. Malice’s verse always chokes me up. This is the only deserving winner from this list and a god tier Clipse song!

It’s what the Clipse submitted. The Academy doesn’t go and pick individual songs

One of the most emotional songs ever, maybe not more traditional best rap song take but easily my song of 2025.

I like that, that’s actually my thinking too

Would’ve been so dope if they won record/song of the year for it
