[kevindagame]

the 7 peeps who dislike this video, never get any pussy

[TheHumanBallsack]

I've been listening to this track for almost 8 years now. It sounds even better in 2011 than it did when I first heard it...all those years ago. That's the power of hip hop.

[SuperStoneyboy1]

ace i lovez ya bred.......

[1kiakia11]

I love love this joint! I miss REAL hip-hop like this with storytellin' and the beats to make it flow = perfect duo!

[PoweredP]

He says ax instead of ask, heh...

[harukirahul123]

[IEtherianSoul9]

I wonder if this really happened to Masta Ace haha

[mjweed420]

i love you like i love my dick size

[Tstew94]

this dude has some pretty good lines

[crispyballz]

best part is 0:00 to 4:19

[str3eam]

i like how the vid ends at 420 lol

[offbeatbop]

@str3eam lay off the pipe son.

[chaseh]

whats this shit about people saying shit like "people that rap about money, women, drugs etc." are fake. Sure young jeezy and lil wayne and shit suck but it seems like your forgetting that old school 'real rappers' like Mobb Deep, Nas, Redman, big l and especially biggie were always rapping about materialistic objects, drinking and women. Sick of people talk shit making lame ass irrelevant 'points'

[IRONMAN357]

@chaseh The truth

[funnygr88]

@chaseh yeh but biggie n big l n all of them rapp about going from nothing to something.. making it out of the struggle even if its materialistic object. but weezy n lil wayne are just kinda blunt about rappin about materials they more brag about it but the old school rappers that rap about materialist objects are usually about hwo they use to have nothing and now there living the lifestyle. thats how i see it

[MrBjx5]

@chaseh that was then....this is now. ur right, biggie, nas, mobb deep and the other OGs did rap about that (women, drugs, money etc)...but they did it with originality and it was real talk. most rappers now a days r just studio gangsters that spit what they dont live while lacking style, originality and talent...not all, but some- they build up this public image of who they want the public to view them as instead of who they truly are..stay true and the rest will take care of itself

[uioyopttttt]

Masta Ace has changed my outlook on the rap game. I'm tired of the same shit i always hear. This song and others of Masta Ace make me wish more people would understand and discover the not only him (Masta Ace), but other pivotal rappers in the underground rap game

[Yewell81]

<3

[mfitzmacon]

We STILL bump this in my family van!! My children KNOW what real Hip-Hop is!!!

[HoldMyBeerQueer]

Smoke weed everyday that's all I got to say.

[salma1349]

Loveeeeeeeeee it! buh I dont get why he first says shes from pakistan and then shes got a red dot on her head:s cuz thats wa indians wear not pakistani;s :P

jus thught id say :D!

[SlingShotEllington45]

@salma1349 lol u realise pakistan was once part of india. she probobly lived in india, then it became pakistan, she didnt fit in anymore, therefore she moved to the usa instead of back to india.

[1m9]

@SlingShotEllington45 lol thats perfectly reasonable explanation but we got independance 1947 and song was recorded in 04 ....ahahaha still is cool no worries we all the same

[imtheFreshest]

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. !!!

could cry, cuz thats some REAL SOULFUL HUMAN music...

[Realityones]

THIS SONG IS HOT SOUNDS LIKE REAL HIP HOP TO ME.

[DylanEdwardo]

Nice track but what are the odds of meeting a Hindu girl from Pakistan.

[realplayazkickass]

@DylanEdwardo yea thats what i thought..shoula made her Muslim or from India

[padster]

@DylanEdwardo that's why she moved to the US...

[DylanEdwardo]

@padster fair point : )

[wiseknowin777]

@DylanEdwardo shit, in Brooklyn or Queens.....very probable! there are whole neighborhoods of Desi/Indian/Pakis and they have their own parade every summer

[DylanEdwardo]

@wiseknowin777 That sounds cool, it's also good to see that Paki isn't seen as a racial slur over there.

All I was hinting at was that it would of been more probable if she were a Muslim or from India but I'm just being pedantic. Really like your opening line though, it reads just as it sounds if you know what i mean. word to the wise

[CLEVTparaNO]

real hiphop

im right here

hi

[MrWake3]

@ChrisAndJord123

There are types of rapping.

1. Storytellin' = A Story with some flow.

2. Rhymekickin' = Showing rhymeskills with mad flow.

2. Freestylin' = Taking few element's of the other songs and puttin' it together in the head.

3. Off The Domin' = Rhyming straight off da head.

4. New schoolin'/fakin' = rapping about Money, wemen, drugs, etc. with no flow.

[MikeMagician12]

@MrWake3 punchlinin' also and.. conceptual

[ShiyinBiohazard]

@MrWake3 Perfect Comment!

[madmanip2]

MeLoW bEaT



[mattipatattiparkour]

this album brings me goosebumps in a long hot summer

[macnastee]

Such a tight album!

[BB2LB]

@macnastee

true it is!

[Bconlon85]

I thought about searching for the music video for this song. But then i stopped and thought about it. Ace is so good at painting pictures a video would ruin this song. He's definetly one of the best ever.

[MrKon14]

Masta Ace makes really good music

[the1jah]

u cant replicate shit like this man this is too real mane

[MultiMeta4]

This shit almost brought tears to my eyes....what the fuck happened to hip hop..Bed Stuy son!!! Raise yo glass for hip hop....

[LEZTHEGOON]

THIS SHIT DOPE AS FUCK FROM THE BEAT TO LYRICS REAL HIP HOP

[BlazingTrance]

THIS is real Hip-Hop!!!

[djchillone]

Love this song.Masta Ace is super nice.

[clockworkmunkee]

my endeavour is to weather these storms that come

i struggle to rise in the morning even though i was born a son

of a get getter \ trend setter \ who would fall at the hurdles

mixing smooth hip hop with raw lyrics, i saw that it curdled

but i crafted and experimented, creating this concoction

pure ether for the etheral mentality waiting for the wrong stoppin

so many emcees straight talkin about fake problems

i dont know what channel they watchin,me i see bombs droppin

an feel the pain

[KojiroMC]

ace is such an underrated mc! i still can`t understand it.

i`m laughing at everybody who thinks that wayne and all these trash rappers are

top of the game!

ace is a legend! ne never disappoints!!!!

[higherlevel28]

@KojiroMC nah to anyone who knos hip hop masta ace is a legend, underatted comes into play when you name great MCs like Chino XL, lyrically AZ, Del tha funkee homosapien, Ras Kass...arguably the best west coast lyricist ever.

[iFailLikeYourMom]

I'm high right now ...

[Take2nPass]

@iFailLikeYourMom well wellcome to the club... i'll take a wild stabb in the dark and guess 60% of true heads are high right now...

[jcreamx23]

[jayboom11]

[StraightfromdaMV420]

Next time I smoke some weed I will listen to this shit damn :P

[Eve223]

I'm in love with this beat

[shoflepoff]

love some true hip hop, fuck the haters i fuckin hate you..... boooya mucho love x x xxx

[TimaRoxx]

lol, "red dot on the forehead" and karma sutra are indian things.. he should have either said she was indian or give her muslim/paki qualities. other than that, i love this song.. its crazy good. <3

[Yannick8164]

@TimaRoxx - you have a small Hindu population in Pakistan, who are often treated very badly by Pakistani Muslim - which has led to migration of many Pakistani Hindus

[SwishaHouse7777]

whhhhy would anyone thumb this down?????

[lesscunning]

word ???

[CiyaDe]

This is just great, story-telling and flow at the finest.

[lesroyb]

My african friend introduced me to this song back in college at Devry University - and this song is illllll!!! real HIp Hop - teach these artist of today what reallll musiq is about!!!

[LORENZ123LORENZ]

ACE nigga!!!

[AVStaley]

I just heard that shit on Pandora too. Love this shit

[acaash]

This is the first song I heard by Masta Ace, on Pandora. My family's from India, and Iive in America, so I can see where that girl is coming from. Well done Masta Ace, this is awesome.

[Baghchehsaraee]

This is HipHop, Real Love for the culture,music and life that is hip hop.

[TheM4Ze]

Ace is soooo the shit..realest musik ever.

[Esentricz]

This is simply Art

[mersyone]

Red dot on forehead means they're married.

[mosk20]

@mersyone

Today it's just decoration

[crispkicks57]

this is hip hop not rap. rap= Retards Attempting Poetry while hip hop= this

[TheM4Ze]

@crispkicks57 red dot on the forehead doesnt mean there married lol its jus like a decoration for the women..

[cupphouse]

@crispkicks57 LOL... whut a dumb comment, rap is the musical element of hip-hop wich is by definition a culture, including numerous disciplines including rap, djing, break dancing, graffiti, etc. You dont know shit bro, sorry but im right, you're wrong. Read a bit on it, get a book.

[e1evation]

beautiful song

[kdp10]

This is real hiphop music. This is poetry.

[qizumqiz]

crucial hip hope...!!!

[klistiin]

just started ma day with this one

love.

[Division1985]

Anybody remember the film Mississippi Masala,With Denzel & Sarita Choudhury? Just putting that out there..

[ChrisAndJord123]

True Hip Hop = A Story with some flow.

Fake Hip Hop = Cocaine. Syrup, Bitches, Money, Etc.

[ShadShaddo]

@ChrisAndJord123 well what if it had all that and still kept good story and flow? im with u man im just saying there's more then 1 way 2 call something true hip hop and it's usually a matter orf opinion

[ChrisAndJord123]

@ShadShaddo whatever you just said didnt make any sense.

[ShadShaddo]

@ChrisAndJord123 yea XD i was just saying that just because the subject matter has Cocaine. Syrup, Bitches, Money or w.e doesn't mean it's automaticly fake shit it's the way it's said and used. like if u made a rap about how u wanted shit like that or if you said it in a way that still kept it real. a smart artist can take these subjects and make a good song but a weak artist or dumbed down would make what u see on tv and radio these days

[ChrisAndJord123]

@ShadShaddo yes but any good rapper has better topics. so yes a good rapper can use the subjects but never would.

[ShadShaddo]

@ChrisAndJord123 yea i guess so though it's always good for parotiy but yea it's kinda been over used far too much anyway that it doesn't really need 2 be retouched anyway

[Psychedelicify]

@ChrisAndJord123 i like cocaine..! =P

[ghostehh]

@Psychedelicify then u can go and fuck urself, smoke weed man. no cocaine, i dont wanna i dont wanna go insane, bitch.

[Psychedelicify]

@ghostehh pahahaha, weed can turn your brain insane, faster u been thinkin!! over & out..

[Damian2354]

@Psychedelicify Youre both fucking ducks

[akatalavistika14]

@ChrisAndJord123 exactly

[imtheFreshest]

I "knew" the most songs from hearing, but I never owned the whole album... I ve downloaded it now and I have to admit that I was a fucking fool, never recognizing this MASTApiece of an album... Daaaamn I have to buy that LP...

EVERY song is special and great in its own ways...

A FUCKING CLASSIC!!!

Big Up MASTA ACE!!!

[wrathof]

"she ddnt have the mabaline face, dat was all dead, instead she had a red dot on her forehead" haha just nice wit it. I hate how American girls fill their face w makeup lmao.

[datmanmoe08]

he said she moved from pakistan meaning she could've been born somewhere else

[hallabeat]

youtube.com/watch?v=-rk-ryFKQF­M&feature=related

ceck this out

[pathanJokes]

Pakistani women HARD wit ha capital H to get :)

[bronzedtone]

@pathanJokes all of India is not a Hindu country moron, at one point back in the day it was Muslim's running the show.... and there is many many Christians there and bu-dist even Jews..so where you getting your shit from?

I think you are all bitter because a black man is talking about your women? LOL well Paki girls like black men to, but cuz of there culture it's not as easy to openly say....

[pathanJokes]

@bronzedtone stfu ur mom's moron faggit!!

[pathanJokes]

@bronzedtone awww is that so? u think i give a fuck about what girl likes what dick??? dude Pakistan is made up of several different races u hoe!! and only ONE race is the PEDIGREE race!! and for ONE Pakistani women are NOT my type!!!!! I like black chicks and I would wanna get a black girl to have my child coz it will be best looking mixed i ain't racist like u

[bronzedtone]

@pathanJokes a black girl dont want your 3 inch little dick ROFLLLLLLLL

[GeoBeatz93]

His flow, the beat and his lyrics are MAGNIFICENT!

[pathanJokes]

@GeoBeatz93 LOL this track is an epic fail you know why? Because in the beginning he mentions she's from Pakistan, then after he says how she had a "red dot" on her head LOL that is ONLY in India NEVER Pakistan!! Pakistanis are not fucking HINDUS!!!!! It's like saying a Japanese Buddhist when there's no Buddhists in Japan!! China is Buddhist, Japan is Shinto, Pakistan is Muslim and India is Hindu :)

[GeoBeatz93]

@pathanJokes there is a small amount of Hindus in Pakistan as well, this girl he talks about could be some refugee hindu?

[pathanJokes]

@GeoBeatz93 yes but that's VERY few amount bro, they are so poor they can hardly afford to move out of Pak and it would be one in a HUNDRED million to find a Hindu Paki abroad. So therefor this track is STILL 100% Epic Fail :)

[OS1TOuno]

@pathanJokes Okay...tell ace that because i don't know about anybody else but i don't give a fuck. Ace is a true artist...nuff said. HA

[pathanJokes]

@OS1TOuno ok but I was telling Geo that because of his comment. Peace.

[OS1TOuno]

@pathanJokes I know man..haha was just messing around.

[pathanJokes]

@OS1TOuno lol aight

[pallandur]

@pathanJokes

maybe he wanna say she got somekind of zit because she aint got a maybeline face.

[pathanJokes]

@pallandur lol maybe

[kuyaZ14]

@pathanJokes uh my family is from japan, and they are all buddhist, so maybe your wrong bro, and so what if he is?

[pathanJokes]

@kuyaZ14 ok

[FeinnWarrior]

@pathanJokes Aight, but to be honest. There are Pakistani Parts (in terms of geology) but under Indian Rule. and boarder regions where indians and pakis mix, as well as their religion. There are iraqi christians in baghdad, (not many left though) and so on.. So anyways who cares mate???

[realplayazkickass]

@pathanJokes yea man that's my only problem with this song.... hes talking about a hindu from pakistan. he's obviously mixing pakis and indians around which is dumb because were very different....other than that this song is fuckin DOPE and Masta Ace is ill

[joelie66]

Ace rocked breda!

before Ace came up everybody just stood half-dead listening to the music.,

he brought the Boogie downn!

[ramboo26]

@joelie66 Yeah i know right. Was looking forward to his and Camp Lo's performance. But after his performance i was so flabbergasted that i don't remember shit from the camp lo set. Awesome rapper so sad i can't find his cds anywhere.

[joelie66]

@ramboo26 haha, yeah you're right i just got stoned by listening his music. I only found 2 cd's on bol.com.. I think i'm going to order 1

[ramboo26]

@joelie66 Fo Real? I only found LPs. I think i am going to buy me a LP-Player. XD

[WessedUp]

Man gotta rep this guy!
