In a May interview with DJBooth, rapper Skillz explained the reasoning behind the creation of his current single, So Far So Good.  “Hip hop is an art form, it’s a culture, and it doesn’t have to be good to any of us… I realize that I’m blessed that people wanna hear what I have to say.” From his humble beginnings nearly twelve years ago, the Detroit-born Skillz has stayed level-headed and for the most part, under the mainstream radar.  Appropriately, the emcee’s chosen guest features for the remix, Common and Talib Kweli, have also experienced at times an underwhelming level of support from both a national audience and their labels.  Skillz’s new studio album, Million Dollar Backpack, is currently set to drop later this month via Koch.

Thank goodness. I can breathe now. This is fresh. Hip Hop lives baby. I want to hear nothing but this from now on! "Y'all always in the back like Jeezy ad-libs". Common held it down like always. Talib is a true M.C. 5 stars. If you feel this is boring or something, IDK, go jump off a cliff. I don't care. And yo, don't delete this post. I'm just speaking my mind. I'm pissed right now, so let me vent.

Yes this is true hip hop. Definatly a breath of fresh air. This is a trio that should get in the booth more often. They make beautiful music. I miss Rawkus records. Common wasn't with them but shoulda been. Love this!

Nice laid back feel on this track. I can chill with this is on. This is real hip hop and Common and Talib bring it like usual. This is classic

This is well produced but just not my type, as I'm club-oriented! If I could understand what he says maybe the song would sound better to me, but as I mainly listen to the music, this is in rotation but nothing more. Sounds a bit repetitive, I'm more oriented to songs with a catchy chorus. Anyway, if I think about hip hop I think of this...I know that club-oriented songs are more pop/commercial

The production on this joint is hot. Skillz comes on point here. Common was straight. But Kweli owned this track. I love this song

SKILLZ really does have a lot of skillz. I love his end of the year wrap up songs. Common is my favorite rapper and he def. is fresh on this. I agree with Ozzylee - Talib owned this!

this is so beautiful am hip hoping on my seat...this is what my ears (as well as radios) have been missing! the sad thing is that ppl keeping ranting about hip-hop being dead but are not feeling this track because it's not clubbish...listeners have become accustomed to subpar creativity a la d4l, dj unk soulja boy and almost everything on the radio. sadly, this track most likely will not get mainstream play!

Okay these lyrics are bad ass. No lie. That Jeezy line had me crackin up. But I wish I could say the same about the lyrics. It could use a bit of work. Chorus could use work. So this song is just average

AMAZING. that's all there is to it. a combination of Talib, Common and Skillz makes it a definite hit in my book
