A great hook, that sticks and won't let go.
This song is a great mix of danceable hip hop beats and lyrics that roll out of Intellect's mouth and and all over the dance floor, making feet move and bodies flail; careful not to elbow your dance floor neighbors.
Well written and produced, this song is one you may probably think you've recocognized from the top 40 station in your town; NOT because it's like all the others or un-original, but because it belongs there.
This song make no claim to be anything other than what it is. A straight up dance, till you fall on the floor tune, that gives you room to breath; and thankfully, doesn't last 7 minutes.
Its just long enough that you want to hear more; a clever trick that is hard to pull off. It's prefect at 3:36 seconds; because really, after listening to it 3 more times because you want to hear the poetry in these lyrics, you'll find it's ten minutes later and all you want is more.
Very well written. The beats of the music mixed with the beats of the singer, the fast and perfectly placed rhythm of the rap/words is not only melodically enjoyable but if i'm allowed to intellectualize this song, I'd say that the clever production/timing and the rapper's carefully placed beats (when i say beats here, i mean beats like an actor takes to break up a soliloquy or a long shakespearian speech) makes the song that much more enjoyable.

Talking about going back to his roots...Intellect comes with a whole new sound to set himself apart from the rest of the hip-hop world. Something classy, jazzy, and smooth; "I See," which is produced by Cool Ethan Productions and engineered by and recorded at Nossaic Productions Studio will set the standard for those who pursue "true" hip-hop. Born in Pensacola, FL, October 14, 1983, even as a youngster he was always into music. Intellect sang and participated in All County Chorus with his school choir all the way up until the 8th grade in junior high. He loved writing poetry and free styling at lunch with his friends. After spending a little bit of time in the Army and saving some money he figured it was time to get busy. In 2004-2006, Intellect got heavy into battle rapping and cypher sessions, then in 2007 he heard something new...it was the most "soulful sound" he had ever heard on an instrumental. A few weeks later "It's Like What" was created and recorded at Nossaic Productions Studio in Tampa, FL. At that moment Intellect found his "place in hip-hop." The name Intellect spawned from people always referring to him or his lyrics as something for the intellectual types. His music is about more than today’s talk of girls, clothes, etc. It goes back to the roots of what being an emcee means. You know smooth, melodic, intellectual music speaking on life, his love for music and everything in between…"Real" hip-hop. So here he is today giving you raw unabated energy in every track that Intellect conceives.
