“Luv (Sic)” is the first part of a six-song series that talks about love, parting, and uniting. The song’s title, in his literal sense, means that a person is sick (sic) by the power of love (luv). There is also a possible joke; “[sic]” is used to designate a misspelling in an original work (usually text) and since “love” is misspelled, it can implicate the love in question is a false one.

Since the release of this song in 2001, through the years, the series has gained a large amount of popularity, later reaching his sixth part in 2013 on “Luv(sic) Grand Finale” and a feature on the album Luv(sic) Hexalogy, amongst many remixes of the Luv(sic) series.

A popular line recited by Cobb from the movie Inception

Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate.

Substantial blames other artist for spreading bad ideas. In contrast, Substantial educates with his words and shows how to live the good life.
