Jay Z & Toto Africa Remix

[maxboye1122]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adronomics]

So many ppl hate this. It isn't the worst one, it actually flows pretty nice when Jay flows.

[JohnLennonForTheWin]

Wow...this is terrible. No, I'm not a troll, but this just isn't the same.

[Franbuas]

As far as Mashups go this is quite good and really quite inventive. Jay-z's flow suits this tempo so well! plus Toto are rampant with sampling material :)

[MegTheBlondeone]

Oh. Okay. I don't like this...

[Linoleum80]

FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHITTY SONG

[nwdle1]

i didnt think id like this but its pretty good, jason derulo can fuck off tho fukin prick

[frenchymia1982]

i like it...i love music..have a great respect for any artists....so whoever said it is a ruin to Toto..i don't think it is...peace y'all!!!!

[herman12380]

the song is a good rip whoever says that it not is fucking dumb you know you watched the whole thing anyways

[MrCaptianCrunch]

usually I'm not a fan of people ripping off 80's music.. but this is actually very well done.

at first I was like fuck jay-z. But then it started.

[edzu1]

learn to sing then make music ..

[Kiravsalex]

[tomruss27]

Great song

[wizzzeeee]

Reign!

[xclaireyz]

love this

[LEB460]

Jay-Z is a fucking genius who is more successful and talented than all of the fucking ignorant haters in this thread who obviously haven't listened to any decent rap album (i.e. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, The Blueprint, Illmatic etc) with an open mind. Also SICK MASH UP DUDE

[amino715]

whoever created this ruined a perfectly good song

[Ravage316]

Reading, gentlemen, is fundamental.

[TheAntslayer]

hey jay z go fuck yourself

[ukoutlawdon]

JAY Z CUNT .................IN DA OVEN!

[KevKrz]

OMG my ears!!... >__<

[markezawadzki]

Love them both .... The original is one of my top 10.

[spidey707]

Everyone needs to stop hatin' "if you dont like his lyrics you can press fast forward"

[XxToHellAndBackxX]

Fuck modern mainstream bullshit! WRITE YOUR OWN MUSIC YOU NO TALENT ASS CLOWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonlad3rd]

@trippleH655321 yes and it takes no skill so i dont see why they are popular

[MrUgonow]

.....i like it

[jonlad3rd]

fuking ruind a good song the only thing hes don is added a beat and talked over it

[TrippleH655321]

@jonlad3rd errr,thats what rap is dude.

[mattdaddyful]

What a SCUM BAG..Leave the GOOD MUSIC ALONE YOU UNTALENTED PUNK BITCH BOY..

[spidey707]

@mattdaddyful  hes not punk.... LOL im pretty sure hes a Rap Artist.

[suesflowers1]

Some things should not be changed. This song is one of them. Original is the one and only best!

[Hydraangelable]

Wtf is this shit

[akadian1971]

This is really bullshit, how can people like this kind of shit. Africa is a classic song from toto and have been killed by this kind of monkey

[iMalibuTwinn]

Ugh. Not Another Great Song Ruined.

[iraceimports]

I guess people just cant read? I mean it obviously says its Jay-z & Toto in the title, if you hate 80's mashups, dont fucking click on the link to listen to the video. Its really a simple concept. People clicking on every single link that is someone FEATURING TOTOin a mashup type of song and then just hating. People on here hating for no reason.

[earthisgood]

@iraceimports ur right. i do hate this version.

[bamboo3313]

FUCKIN' FIRE!!!!

[joedoys]

I think its pretty good - lil on the slow side but not bad...lighten up people.

[TheRealKivanchK]

Another great song ruined...

[uncdentist09]

Has this nigger been shot yet? If not, somebody step up. Dont fuck with the 80's music. Dont fuck with it.

[LGZEE]

@uncdentist09 Why don't you do it, tuff guy? Oh, you want some one to do your dirty work, punk.

[uncdentist09]

@LGZEE Wash your hair, you dirty nigger. Dumb big lipped mother fucker. Stop taking all our money on welfare, you congo ape.

[LGZEE]

@uncdentist09 I can't wait until youtube makes peoples identity public knowledge. I'm almost positive your ass will be one of the people that gets his ass kicked first. Good luck to you in the new year, when everyone knows where you live bozo the clown!

[uncdentist09]

@LGZEE Shut your big lipped, welfare spending, dirty, greasy nigger dick sucker. I will tell you exactly where I live, and you can come on down, and I can beat your dumb smelly nappy head nigger ass into the pavement. Message me for details. Drive your car, wait, you are a nigger, you can afford a car. Take the BUS then, and drive on down. Wait, they wont let you into my country club, because they dont allow niggers here either. Not by law, it is just nigger cant afford to live here.

[uncdentist09]

@LGZEE Woops. After looking at your profile music picks...you are not black, you are gay. Cooking videos? What a homo. Do you cook for your gay lover? How sweet

[LGZEE]

@uncdentist09 Wheres your country club, your imagination? I guarantee you can't afford a country club membership. Why do you need to send me your address in private if your such a fucking tough guy. Put it out there bitch. I know a few people have seen you run your mouth all day on this fucking jewtube and would love to visit you. If you don't, go fuck yourself I'm done playing games fucker.

[Droght]

Blasphemy!

[MrIhatethoring]

@Top40Rock

Beatles can suck my dick with their calm chorus and shit nobody likes that horse shit except for 15 year old girls

[greg20152015]

I would rather see Toto remix his garbage!

[RashmikaClavain]

Nice effort but I prefer the original ;-)

[mmc786]

yeah, its not as good as the original, but you dont create amazing music if u dont try. I think its not that bad, how about u stop whining and bitching about rap and enjoy the music you like. it says jay z in the title what the fuck where u expecting

[warriorfight111]

Jay-Z is great

[thebounceknight]

gay z ruins another song, i hate rap music, its a disgrace

[BrittaneysAccount]

I Like This !!!

[Loecraveiro]

I think that was pretty good!

[ScottyJ1624]

I think it sounds pretty good personally, and i like both these songs. Not outstanding, but pretty good :-)

[gordon2008tk]

Ok. Now I'll turn back and pretend I never got here and this song... No.. This "Thing" never existed.

[sazkwatch]

*murda reigns my bad..

[sazkwatch]

this has got to be one of the gayest remakes i ever done heard... ja rules the rain is way better..

[siti1ca]

Another no talent, ruining a great song, because he can't write his own music

[AndyWoods16]

@siti1ca you talking about? it isint an offical remix . fukn idiot

[siti1ca]

@AndyWoods16 wow what a great argument you make! what difference does it make whether it is official or not? it's a remake. in other words he took someone else's song, because he can't write his own music.

[AndyWoods16]

@siti1ca You talking about Jay-Z?

[Top40Rock]

@siti1ca hate to break it to you bud, but jay-z writes his own songs. actually, he thinks of his lyrics, but doesn't write them down. don't believe me, look em up. just because you don't like rap music doesn't mean that you can assume things..

[siti1ca]

@Top40Rock hate to break it to you ma'am, but he didn't write this song!

And just because you write lyrics doesn't make you a song writer, it makes you a poet.

like i said no talent. what happened to the good ol days when people actually wrote their own songs? you're right i hate rap music, because 98% of it is crap. Anytime you sample others music, it means you can't write your own

[Top40Rock]

@siti1ca lolol i'm a trumpeter, and i can't write for shit. and really? look up stan by eminem. he samples dido, but the versus are the most chilling and powerful i've ever heard. and what are you talking about? you make it seem like pop stars back then ALWAYS wrote their own songs. well, while you're right that most pop stars don't write their own music, you're wrong whereas you said the artists from the "good ol days" wrote their own music. New artists like Bon Iver write their own songs....

[siti1ca]

@Top40Rock i don't know how long you have been playing, but if you can play trumpet with any proficiency, my guess is you could write music. No doubt Stan is one of the greatest songs lyrically, but do you put these guys in the same category as the beatles, led zepplin, rush, boston etc? people who spent years perfecting their instrument.spending hours rehearsing etc? no doubt these guys are talented entertainers, but they are not in the same categories as the geniuses of music history

[Top40Rock]

@siti1ca you and i share a musical liking towards rock music. i personally believe the beatles are overrated, same with ledzep. however, led zeppelin has some phenomenal musicians. to say there are no geniuses of music today is false though. you just gotta dig, cause a lot of the radio is crap nowadays. again, try bon iver, or m83. even kanye, even though he's an asshole, he really is incredible (although his rapping is stale).

[Top40Rock]

@siti1ca and i'm 16 and been playing since i was 8. i wrote 4 songs for a band. 

[wuTangkilIabeez]

@siti1ca You moron you think Jay made this ? ..and can't write his own music? GTFO ..lolmad

[mattdaddyful]

@siti1ca Amen..This CRAP PISSES ME OFF...He is a BUM!!!!!

[wra7h]

@siti1ca you dumb cunt someone else has mashed this, Jay Z won't of had anything to do with it.

[MrDingbat231]

@wra7h No it's Cunt-licker... It's funnier :D

[TrippleH655321]

@siti1ca thats what rap is dude.

[siti1ca]

@TrippleH655321 a bunch of no talent hacks that steal others music? That's why i don't listen to it

[TrippleH655321]

@siti1ca sign up to a rap battle tournamant and come 1st place. Either you do that OR your chatting complete shit. Your choice.

[siti1ca]

@TrippleH655321 Why would i do that? I don't consider rap to be music, entertain ment? yes. music? no

Not chatting shit, i am a musician, and this is not music, it is called stealing

[TrippleH655321]

@siti1ca acording to you rap takes no talent. thus you shouuld easily be able to win a tiurnament because it takes no skill. either put your money where your mouth is or you fail the argument.

[TrippleH655321]

@siti1ca hip-hop was created out of poverty. The origional makers of it had just a vinal and a vinal player. they didant have pianos and guitars and shit to make their own music.

[TheAlexgunns]

@TrippleH655321 Blues musicians came from much worse poverty than that and they managed to write their own music so that isn't really an excuse IMO

[TrippleH655321]

@TheAlexgunns he did write his own music, he wrote what hes saying.

[TheAlexgunns]

@TrippleH655321 Yes he wrote the rap but with regards to the 'actual music' (the toto) which everyone seems to be discussing

[TrippleH655321]

@TheAlexgunns so. its not meant to be his. READ the title.

[spidey707]

@siti1ca another 'no talent' with 11 albums, who wrote his own music. K there buddy its a remix dont know if yee saw the title there.

[siti1ca]

@spidey707 just because you have 11 albums doesn't mean you have talent. It means you have tons of money to waste, or people believe in the propaganda. For Jay z my guess it would be both. How many albums does Brittany Spears have? Is she talented?

Not in my opinion. Rush, they're talented. Bob Marley, he was talented, Elton John-talented, Werrason-talented. They all write their music and words-that's what a musician is. Someone who makes music

[MrDingbat231]

@siti1ca This Song Is Okay... But I Agree With You(: haha

[batmanakaprince]

@siti1ca Another hater that doesn't know how to appriciate good music

[siti1ca]

@batmanakaprince You are brainwashed. My guess is that i know more about music than the average person, having worked in 5 radio stations in 3 countries, playing drums, and guitar, and spending my entire life playing music. Nice try though.

Just admit you are brainwashed, and only know the music that is served to you by the Mainstream media. Bahhhh Bahhhh little sheep

[batmanakaprince]

@siti1ca Nah, its juss i know whats good and whats bad, hip hop and rap has a lot more meaning than country and rock and emo music,

[09669390]

On a good day, the Fmr Mr Beyonnce Knowles usually gives me a case of the Hershey Squirts, but this is a clever mash up. May be it is hot humid day that it is getting me in the mood, but I am feeling this song, ya dig??? WTF. In short a great song.

[burnindoghouse]

HURRY BOY ITS WAITING THERE FOR YOU I GOTTA TAP ALL THE ASS DOWN IN AFRICA WERE GONNA TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE THINGS YOU NEVER HAVE

[SuperTenbob]

whats the best 80's hip hop like "original" shit?

[SuperTenbob]

fucking brilliant mix man.

[vinsong]

Essentially, the success of the this song is due to Africas tune.

[spankyg100]

i dont know about anyone else but im feeling this

[Worden359]

Fuck me you haters - Its a mashup. As Jay-z says 'If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward'

[SuperTenbob]

@Worden359

damn right

[siti1ca]

@Worden359 i don't wanna press fast forwrd i wanna bag on him because he has no song writing skills

[XxToHellAndBackxX]

@Worden359 They aren't his lyrics though...they are Toto's lyrics

[storeythor66]

blaspheme..

[getanointed11]

good idea here.....but damn atleast rap about the shit he wrote this song about. you take a monumental song and bring it down to the streets. This song is HIGHER than the dirty streets....duhhhhhhh dummy...btw, as you already know, you did shittty

[aCloggedUterus]

Yuck.....lyrics don't mesh with this at all e.e Jay Z is just lazy

[nanka2002]

this is crap.

[sexybabyjojo]

LOVVVE this remix :) Way to go Gents!!

[sexybabyjojo]

@sexybabyjojo Sounds like #1 Hit to Me :)

[1morningstarluxfere]

sucksssssssssss



[ProDjDavidHerrera]

da sonsog in epanol saund guud pro djdavid

[AlJ1zah]

im lovin this!

love africa

love jay-z

life couldnt get any betta!

download link!



[ChicagoJT]

I agree and being a classic Toto fan I think some remakes certainly have their own flavor. Jay Z has a unique style and i like this its too bad with all the money the brutha has he doesnt take time to do a video and some REAL work. It's unfortunate the man couldnt do more than pay tribute to the band that really were musically inclined to create the orig version.

[JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed]

Jay z is pretty talented....Just can't stand him and that's why I hate this 

[married1959]

toto is still making money off the remix. learn the industry. he just paid otis redding daughter a nice chunk to use her fathers song with his name . Jay z is a very smart man and beyonce is one lucky woman.

[Azzanavicius]

Nobody's ruining the original song, you're just too narrow minded to appreciate a hip hop remix of the song, that's it... No offense men

[MrSilverFish1]

chorus is the best.

[TheManWithTheCam02]

I love the original Africa, but this is awesome too. Nothing is sacred, so why not have fun?

[RMAR70]

alot of white artist greatest influences in music have been black artist .for example the rolling stones,the beatles,cream...even up till the untimely death of amy winehouse..so why the fuss when black artist appreciate & acknowledge white artist...i understand it's a personel preferance but none the less no one is trying to take away from someone just simply sharing a version & an idea...hell it worked for elvis & jerry lee lewis not to mention countless others

[temurdelamesa]

listen to yourselves talk rubbish! if it sounds good i like it

[MrMushu123]

awesome, but you shouldnt use a rap song with a true classic

[mrP694]

Where can I download it? It's great!!

[Toatony]

Nice remix bro



[dksean1996]

this remix sucked its a disgrace to the original song

[seymark2]

@dksean1996 You a fool and fool at your age is a fool forever.

[dksean1996]

@seymark2 so you say that because youv already experienced it............thanks for telling me ill try not to be a fool like u

[seymark2]

@dksean1996 Am better than You. instead of watching this great video, but all you do is use this video to Jack up (using Yo dic) shame on You

[Apneistefou]

cool remix imo =) keep it

[jameelo123]

Bad bad bad bad bad bad egg egg egg egg egg egg egg

bad remix Egg cold shit shit shtis thisithishtishti

[kingpinoy]

I'm not usually a fan of mash ups especially if it involves my beloved 80's but I'm definitely a fan of this.. Great job! =)

[xxOuTsIdExx]

Not trying to bash JayZ, but he just proves the point that modern mainstream artists aren't original. If you haven't noticed, a lot of them use older songs and sing/rap over them (Yes I know they are called remixes and mash-ups). They don't do it all the time, but a lot of them do it, and it takes the originals/classics away from the younger generations. It's very sad, but go on a foolslove video and you'll see Justin Bieber fans say that the Cardigans stole the song from Justin Bieber...wtf

[xxOuTsIdExx]

@xxOuTsIdExx At my previous post...The song is Love Fool, not foolslove

[Ziggatass]

@xxOuTsIdExx First things first, THIS SONG IS NOT MADE BY JAY-Z! This is what is called a "mash-up", this is when someone comes along and puts two songs together.

Secondly, the rap and RnB industry has been created by the technique of using a track to sing over, this is called SAMPLING. Sampling has been used since the dawning of these genres and, up until recently, is the most common form of rap production. Get some fucking knowledge for your own sake, and ours.

[United10]

haha people are so dumb

[ccc1212]

Wait. How can you justify a mashup as "ruining a classic". At the end of the day, the original Africa by Toto remains the same. Yes Africa is a classic, but it's not like this song will change that status, give your head a shake, people.

[UltraMegaLULZ]

@ccc1212 It's the fact that a garbage artist such as Jay Z is even using the sample for his shitty music. It's the sample and the sample alone that makes this song popular, he's basically ripping off someone else's brilliant work for his own gain. Definition of a piece of shit.

[prejorist]

@UltraMegaLULZ calm down buddy this wasnt an official remix and people sample music all the time, and you cant say an artist is shit just because you dont like him. I mean thats just ignorant

[wicked188353]

i dont really like jayz cause of the whole freemason shit, but you gota admit this is a pretty good mix!

[willywonkasson]

laughing at all the people who are saying he ruined this song..hahahaaaa

[Holktube]

Don't miss the next album: "Jay-Z Ruins The Hits" From the same label that brought you "T-Pain Autotunes Everything"

[Akosuaification]

@Holktube LoLoL, ow, ow, my stomach hurts!

[ryliemurphy]

@Holktube ya but they make more money than you and your parents combined so id suggest puttin a cock in your mouth

[Holktube]

@ryliemurphy Is that how you made all your money?

[ryanfenton382]

@Holktube glorious comment

[ThaRoyalT]

@Holktube please explain how he ruins hits? the only way he could ruin it is if he replaced the original with a shit verse. but oh wait, he didn't, someone took the instrumental and mixed in one of his verses. people being stupid and narrow minded on youtube again, back under a rock you go hahaha

[Holktube]

@ThaRoyalT How did you know that I call your mother "a rock"?

[ThaRoyalT]

@Holktube ahhh, original "your mother" reply just cus I proved you wrong on the original subject hahaha.

[Holktube]

Yes. I am totally proved. Very good.

[Reimerink]

Rappers stop ruining good music. Do what you want with every Justin Bieber song, but keep away from the real music.

[BadRunofLuck]

Dude this shit is fire, where can I get this?

[smileyfacedada]

I exspecially like that toto is in the background in some parts, and then in other parts Jay-Z is in the backgrounddd :D

[ravisremixes]

siiiick!!!

[AUDIOWATCHER]

wiz khalifa - huey newton wtf

[slashamasha]

i miss the niggas down in africa

[xlucidx]

Dear God.

Why would you ruin a classic song like this?

[busky18]

Oh wow this is bad. way to kill a classic.

[flexwheelR]

jay did the remix wuz it had teh word " Africa" in the original song...

[fallingwatersnz]

hate the beginning... sounds like a broken record

[nickdunlevy321]

i cant hear the chorus without picturing JD singing it

[coolmarck]

Oh damnnn

[theduckularcoldfeet]

you guys are stupid. first off jay z didnt make it someone just mashed it up. so what if he did make it. at least he appreacitates this song you are so closed minded. if you dont like it dont click on it

[maraud48]

@theduckularcoldfeet Reminds me of when someone told me Trenchtown rock was an original by "Dead Prez."

[Andre609]

This blow's karl wolfe's version outta the water.

[landyachtfan79]

RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!

[Maxim86]

@landyachtfan79 It's not a rip-off, it's a mash-up. Someone had to find two different songs that worked well together and edit them to line up well. It takes a lot more time and effort than it seems.

[MrAflac9916]

First he ruins Forever Young and then this!?!?! wtf

[dewy200884]

why the fk they're ruining a classic with rap ? pathetic

[Sxzy71171]

@dewy200884 you obviously have NO concept of music - go away
