You just made me the happiest man alive. Now I won't look like a fool while driving down the road with this song on repeat, singing at the top of my freaking lungs...

I'm telling you, best song on the disc. The bridge is like... whoa. And that's all you need to know. Everytime I hear it, chills. As if it was the first time.

That's my favorite song on the whole album, but you can't go wrong with any song on that album, it's so damn tight. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the words of the song, the beat, the whole damn thing, but it's a perfect choice as the next single, especially if they do the video right. I can see it now....

Good pick. Long Walk is my shit. But like everybody's been saying, the whole album is tight, so you can pick any joint as a single. Just make sure you make "One is the Magic Number" the third single. That's my anthem right there.

"A Long Walk" is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE cut on the CD, can't wait til' it starts getting airplay... i predict HEAVY rotation... please don't change a thing, the song is beyond perfect! My 2nd fav is "Brotha" - this song should be played every hour on the hour on every station in amerikkka for all my BROTHAS out there ... WE DO LOVE U!
