Mos Def & Hypnotic Brass Band - Madvillain "Rainbows"

[DCgreenery]

Madvilliany-

favorite album ever

[klok1usa]

why is it i can find mos def singing this song but not the normal madvillian track

[dannyzukoify]

Hip Hop IS NOT COMPUTER MUSIC.

[ehmazin]

Such a drunken sound

Even the album version

Sick.

[nickybaby77]

So it's not even DOOM at these shows? Cuz that's what I've been hearing.

[Mannamedwest314]

jesus.

can anyone imagine the mind fuck that would be Viktor Vaughn, Boogeyman and Jay Elec??

fucking triad of evil???

[KILLAHBEAM]

@Mannamedwest314 i would rather see DOOM & De la soul, that shit would hypnotic

[TheChosenFewTV]

@KILLAHBEAM

they already have a collab, its called 'Rock Co Kane Flo'

[KILLAHBEAM]

@TheChosenFewTV i know but i meant like an album, like he did with dangermouse and madlib

[TheChosenFewTV]

@KILLAHBEAM

aww. now that would be in popular demand

[ArrghhMatey]

@KILLAHBEAM Grind Date?

[dreaded06]

going to see doom and mos (featuring mike relm) this friday in concert!!

[Ril3yIzBac]

ehy where is that gunna be??

[dreaded06]

the concert is in chicago...it got pushed back to feb 13th though

[dreaded06]

sad to say, the concert was horrible...opening acts were garbage (except mike relm, but his set was wayyyy too long), mos and doom came out too late and only performed for about 45 minutes combined, after wating to see them about five hours...very very disappointing

[deipan]

@dreaded06 I was there and I agree that everything about the concert was horribly disappointing. Mike relm was awesome. To make it even worse, that wasn't even DOOM on stage..its been confirmed it was an imposter. I knew it was as soon as he came out and didn't even address the crowd.

[PCozz94]

In Chicago?

[PrepareAimNFire]

Doom For President

[jaebee81]

Man this is the start of DOOM becoming more mainstream. I think he is fine where he is but we could use more artists like DOOM and MOS DEF in the lime light. I think MOS DEF is telling DOOM and others he has what it takes to be a major force in hip hop! When I listen to a DOOM cd my mind goes on a journey and doesn't want to come back to planet Earth. Sorry to write an essay here but I just love DOOM, cuz he does his own thing and doesn't go POP like snot bubbles!

[marinejitsu]

@jaebee81 true but it will never be mainstream because this a thinking mans game

[atlienintruder]

This is some real shit bro.

[Jughand]

@jaebee81 I concur

[kingbrown750]

@jaebee81 doesn't go POP like snot bubbles! haha classic

[pacman2326]

fuckin nice

[MasterT610]

for some reason...this version with the way the band plays it makes it sound better than the original

that's my opinion anyway

[KamikaziXavier]

they should have done a real calabo first..that would be the illest, doom and def

[MasterT610]

it looks like it may be possible

there's a video on youtube where he's freesyling with doom

look it up...it's like a minute long

[skakid6692]

no saxophone, weak, but thats a great mf doom song.

[ghost4doom]

Real good cover of song

[noodle0912]

Mos Def + Hypnotic Brass Ensemble= Orgasm.

[dreadedhalo]

o lord! I love it when the trumpets come up. damn!

[tru2daflu]

mos def has more to brag about then any mainstream candy corn crap rappa and he doesn't do it because he will never stoop to their level.

[takethisusernamebitc]

whoa DUDE

[kayin4o8]

this shit is perfect...one of those once in a life time shit...

[DNAhiphopper]

wow this shit is sick as fuck.

[justbunk]

Tight! Nice arrangement

[Rickeeey1]

Wow, so many musicians out helping him. And people still think hip-hop is only "computer music".

[w0rmaster]

@Rickeeey1 i have never heard anyone call hip-hop computer music in my life

[tharandom1]

love this arrangement, wish it was a whole song cover, Hypnotic hurts the track every time

...although is it me, or do they all seem a bit toasted?

[Mun0z387]

All I have to say is

WOW!

[jumpmanhat]

SICK!!!!

[konvince]

east meets west!!!

stonesthrow baby!!

[missteek08]

so lovely!! Def never ceases to amaze!!!

[DZA9mm]

MOS DEF Always covers Mavillain tracks haha

[blaccstacy]

amazing

[yesitsfiasco]

this is dope... it kinda hurts because i started to work on an arrangement of this for a group a lot like this one. Mos is dope and so is doom. WOW.

[enOgurD]

What show is this from?  Hypnotic from Chicago?

[iamhonestjohn]

Hypnotic do it crazy! I love the way all the best underground ppl in Hip-Hop always end up doin somethin together at some point. Genius always recognises genius!

[themotamouth]

oh what! thats iLL mang.

[offwiththehats]

siiiiiiiick

[enoz187]

u ever hear mos and doom on track ? or black thought anddoom

[IronFistAlchemist]

thats a hard choice

black thought an doom sounds like it may be more fun to listen to, DOOM beats with Black's lyrics, but i would enjoy either

3dy-CFG

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

no way

:D

[blackouttsi]

ironic that a sample is being played live with credit to doom and not the original band?

Love doom and all but come on, you cant cover a sample without respect to those who made the song to be sampled

[Timmytoga]

however, they ran through the madvillain song, not the original song sampled.

[b1bby707]

BOOGIE MAN!

[ANDROID697]

cool

[JedtheDon]

Mos DEF knows more DOOM lyrics than anyone i have ever encountered before. He was on stage durning MF's preformace at RTBs in NYC

[venone05]

sicck

[marlymarrr]

mos is the man.

[Mingus18]

Sick-put up more if you have it.

[munoz387]

can some one please put madvillain - rainbows(madlib remix) on youtube?. i heard it in the madlib remixes mix on the stones throw podcast and i want to listen to the whole thing.

[munoz387]

this is unbelievable that mos def would sing madillain's ''rainbows''

[techdek4]

yessss

[SunLutang06]

now that was dope

i would love to see dooms songs perfomed bye a bigband

[upabittoolate]

holy shit. this is dope. but i know half of that brass section from upward bound at roosevelt university. those are the huberts; phil cohran's children. highly excellent

[micr0cosm]

Props :)

[blip]

amazing!

[asiakismet]

i'm in love:D

[candyj19]

if Mos was in Boston and I missed it, my feelings would surpass "HEATED"

[snapplejack18]

Is that at berkely in boston?

[mhawkin2]

that was a nice live rendetion of RAINBOWS.

[puretroubleman]

The sound was terrible and the clip was too short.

come on guys :)

[Brotha633]

shit is dope man, prolly ur speakers are tore up.

[TrueScience]

greatness

[greenman789]

Yeah that was dope

[Applebaum]

oh my gosh scrumptiously spectacular but cruelly short!! love brass love Mos love Rainbows bravo it's a tad sick isn't it people

[tofutube]

damn would have liked to seen the actual performance of the entire song

[spedman201]

was this just a soundcheck or did he do madvillian songs the whole show

[2FRsoul]

It does say...soundcheck.

Next thing he says is "Boogieman" so im guessin he went into another song (didnt he make a song called boogieman?)

[revolveronvinyl]

Mos says "Boogieman" all of the time. It's sort of like his calling card.

[DKfansown]

bad ass clip.
