Mos Def "Umi Says" ft. The Robert Glasper Experiment, Kanye West, & Lupe Fiasco

[Jerms18]

Kayne's definitely feeling Chris @3:10

[Xehr1]

Really hope Dave Chappelle organises and tapes another block party and invites all these guys and more!

[prodark1359]

I love how there is no beefing on this video comments >

[blaxdiamond]

I would have LOVEEEEEEEE to have seen this live!

[kazam92]

Dope

[ZaiahBoy15]

I love how Derrick Hodge goes into his into his on groove at around the 3:24 mark til the end. Slows it down perfectly.

[cre8tinme]

oh so dopE....

[hosenhochable]

its interesting to watch this seeing an example of kanyes and mos defs collaborations, after listening to niggas in the poorest where mos def openly critizes kanyes release with jay z

[lylelammers]

@hosenhochable Eh, I think he was just criticizing the prominence of bragging about making a lot of money in popular hip hop, when most of the listeners don't even make for example, $50 G's a year and Jay's acting like it's nothing. He and Ye are probably still cool. This isn't the first time Mos has flipped a Jigga song though. Rape Over was a response to rappers saying they run the game when in reality, it's the labels and everyone knows it.

[zacdylan1]

@SigmmundGjengedal: Also, the first two chords are 6 beats long, the third chord is only 4 beats long, or, three, three, two.

[SigmundGjengedal]

@zacdylan1 thanks for getting back at me, i´ve been vamping on it for days:)

[zacdylan1]

@SigmundGjengedal For sure man... I'm a musician with a jazz studies degree, and I hear this stuff almost instantly. I kind of with I could go back to virgin ears/appreciation then i'd not be alienated by every chord progression I hear. Makes listening to the radio totally unbearable

[zacdylan1]

@SigmundGjengedal: Emajor7, Bmajor7, C#major7. You can add the 9 to all these chords... Beautiful three-chord progression!

[zacdylan1]

This was originally a Stereolab tune, right? Then Busta Rhymes/J.Dilla used the progression. If anyone knows of an earlier source for this particular "three-chord" progression, let me know! THanks. This is the heaviest shit I've heard in a long time. Need some Glasper in Seattle!

[SigmundGjengedal]

@zacdylan1 aint got an answer, but gotta question for you; could you(or someone) name the chord progression in steps?

[7BillionColours]

i love this

this is a million times better than some festival performance with 2980429 people

[stoneyslackson]

this is some real live shit! its a shame kanye , mos, lupe, n glasper dont hook up enuff

[dottedminum]

[babarislander1]

[FideTheProducer]

This is fucking sick

[Olounfeh]

Chris Dave is kill'n and I am inspired every time hear him play.

[VidyaSangeet]

Chris Dave is a fucking Drum Machine!!! 

[jlink09]

I was gonna bash on kanye west but...he doesn't deserve it. All in all, hes great and he was probably just happy to be there, I would of been

[Kaposts22]

All the big Fishes in one pond

That`s just sick!

Chris Dave,Glasper,Hodge,West,Def and Lupe = thats fuckin earthquake

[heishere7]

Damn man I played this shit like 17 times back to back no exaggeration. I was looking for this live video performance. Damn god bless these brothers..the whole performance was full of gem dropping. Look @ kanye at 3:12 acknowledge the dude on the drums killing it. Mos def is a good dude.. good heart, & he brings song into his lyrics along with rap. Deadly combo. Lupe is a new nas.. it all works! I like the ending at 4:09 if you look CLOSE Kanye hugs Mos Def .. they def are brothers good video

[sintlathmusic]

@heishere7 he like; ooh weee, who dat? dat chris daddy dave?

[ktsketch]

WHOOOOO! that fire boi.!!

[emm8295]

kanye at 3:12 knows whats up haha

[968OAK]

@emm8295 Cause bruh is killing that set!!!

[appleman1324]

mos def must be inspiring lupe, hopefully, cause a few years ago his 9/11 song was as surprising as lupe's words i never said song

so they both share something

they should make some songs together, unless i missed one (xcept for "dont look down")

[tilbass88]

Chris Dave is the man!!

[zimmoframen]

watching kanye turn to chris dave and giving a nod of approval at 3:11 is probably the coolest thing i've ever seen.

[DFLUTSCHY]

@zimmoframen agreeed

[Nikomoukk]

AWSOME

CLASSIC SHIT REAL HIP HOP THANK TO POST IT ;)

[drumminggenius]

3:00 too sick!! even Kanye thinks so

[robbyl7]

Lupe and Mos Def should collaborate and make an album

[hass341]

WOW!

Any Mos Show in NY on 22-23-24 March,2011?

[Janakan11]

So hip hop.

[WahkibaJ]

@ 3:12 Kanye looks at Chris like yeaaa you da man!

[scottyboy1928]

@WahkibaJ That's what it's all about, the "look" that only shared music can bring.

[jbonhamII]

i went to the 8:00 show the same night... i can't believe i missed this

[scottyboy1928]

Lupe, Kanye, and Mos over Glasper and Dave playing Dilla!!!!???? Too too much.

[bearscontrolyou]

@scottyboy1928 couldnt agree more, which dilla beat is this? i know he played fall in love but i cant tell which this is

[scottyboy1928]

@bearscontrolyou the sample comes from "Come Play in the Milky Night" by Stereolab, and Dilla cut it up on "Show me What You Got" by Busta Rhymes. The Roots also did an amazing cover of it that they just called "Stereolab."

[bearscontrolyou]

@scottyboy1928 damn dude, so fresh. thank you for the knowledge
