The Knux - She's So Up

[3rdcontact]

maybe vevo is cool after all, despite the commercials, since they're putting up videos from The Knux uncensored (the word fuck in this vid and bare breasts in "Run") huh what's the deal

[Turtlena315]

@3rdcontact uhhhh they censored "guns" in bang bang... stupidest thing ever

[3rdcontact]

@Turtlena315 uhhh- huh. they must be trying to mess with us

[EmptyTomb]

@rokch1ck, I agree that's definitely a massive stain on the mans' legacy, but he was a straight-up musician. Wehn it comes down to the nitty-gritty, not a lot of people actually know how to play an instrument, though. I think Jarmusch helped summed up the legacy best. It's ugly, but that's life. Coffee and Cigarettes, dig it if you haven't yet..

[Jeffo1434]

This song makes me feel like I'm a BAMF when I'm walking with my iPod.

[beatzlax]

Possible successor to Lenny Kravitz !

[deez723]

@beatzlax na I don't think so. they great, but still very different sound and own style. I think the major similarity in this vid mainly and few others in their Lenny-esque outfit and hair and facial hair etc. No doubt though, great group. And definitely a new fan right here!!

[ivancosta7]

wow



[miscalainaous]

they should play shit like this on the radio

[inglwdzep]

So I Said Fuck It.

[delishbrown]

This band is pure hot rock! <3

[vondada]

I really do not understand why this band is not more popular. They're kinda The Dirtbombs meets Gorillaz.

[MysticGohan091]

Don't forget Johnny Cash, those types were some of the original rockers, but it doesn't really matter who invented it, as long as we all like it, right?

[Trollingtons]

@writeMeAchequeMusic if other people like it, it's no longer good music? latfh.

[EarningMyStripes]

This band to me falls under the category of Cudi Style! Simply amazing!!!

[Mellopype]

i expected a group called the Knux to be a lot harder. perhaps it's irony

[chadoblenes]

these guys are sick

[pancakerepairman]

if this is hiphop so's lenny kravitz

[chickenmonkeystudios]

@pancakerepairman actually. some of lennys stuff could be considered hip-hop

[TCstorm08]

just found them today, mad dope, lead singer kinda sounded like del in this song, these guys are def hip-hop to the fullest

[darnellnwo]

this song has put me on the knux . respect .

[moneysexbrandon]

a mess

[jujumorrison]

He has a really nice voice!

[X7R3MO]

have you eeeever met a girl....yeah! :D

[unknownmulatto]

these guys are at Lenny Kravitz levels of disappointment... it just sounds so cheesy and bubblegum... at 2:30 it does get really promising but then it goes back into that predictable chorus and they lose me...

[LilJ42]

@unknownmulatto Yeah man, I need my catchy chorus' to be... unpredictable? You're stupid, because you're trying to look like you know music. It's part of "popular music". Go listen to The Mars Volta or something.

[GoonerLife4]

@unknownmulatto think back to some of the classic rock n roll tunes that also had that "bubblegum" sound to it...alot of pop rock, smooth rock has that vibe

[TopGunOriginal]

Nothing exceptional about these guys.

[bamf201]

@TopGunOriginal listen to their first album then say that shit. Whats the basis for this hatin'?

[TopGunOriginal]

@bamf201 I didn't say anything was shit. I just said they do nothing exceptional.

[LilDeviant09]

@TopGunOriginal you're loony

[TopGunOriginal]

@LilDeviant09 you're original

[writeMeAchequeMusic]

holy shit only found these guys tonight... they are fucking amazing.. ! it kinda pisses me off though, that my school will soon find this music and ruin it

[NaomiMoam]

@writeMeAchequeMusic Having the exact problem over and over again with music I love.. Everything I like is going mainstream and I hate that!

[haileemarie123]

@writeMeAchequeMusic seriously, i'll find a good underground band and the next month the raidio ruins it and overplays the fuck out of it.

[OsvaldoCarro]

@haileemarie123 then don't listen to the radio...

[wighty949]

@writeMeAchequeMusic nice elitist attitude... let people enjoy what they want.

[RUF1OH]

The homies! These are really amazing guys, look out for their new music video Razorblades coming out, Im in it too :D

[13370m6]

this is swag.

[nahjustkiddingnic]

my daze, where have I been, these guys are sick!

[anji31ful]

I am totally feeling this song, such an amazing vibe. These guys rock!!!

[11NewAuthor2]

awesome !! addictive !!!

[ab692003]

This song is addictive...I just can't stop listening to it

[50bent7]

this song live is amazin, heard them yesterday @tennentsvital awesome band

[josephineworldtv]

Did any one see my cameo at 2:15??

[pinkconverse84]

I am so glad I discovered these guys. THEY'RE AMAZING.

[iRepDa514]

Had no idea who they were till i went to osheaga to see eminem and they performed earlier that day, they're sickk

[4famemusic]

Rap and Rock at it's best, dope......

[game7rock]

Damn ! , Im in love man (L)

[DeaconWho]

Wicked tune but this isn't hip hop.

[tobyfurtado]

awesome!!!



[RevoJust]

this song is soooooo doope, the knux is raw.

[simonorman]

Anyone else reminded of "Call me" by Blondie?

[FronhaGeneration]

@simonorman nope

[GreenThisBitch]

like the song. rythmaticilicious. not epic, but a good song with a good groove. Good guitar. good vox. etc.

[LaLolaBonnie]

Just enjoy it !

[koolggreg]

This song is to good not to have a million views.

[16cdn91]

Black people created rock and roll. The Real King of Rock & Roll is Chuck Berry.

Please check music history!

[Jrsc5ive]

@16cdn91 He may have started it, but Elvis perfected it and got it recognized

[rokch1ck]

@Jrsc5ive yeah for taking black peoples music. only reason he got famous. 

[Jrsc5ive]

@rokch1ck sugarhill gang basically created hiphop, doesn't mean every artist that comes after them "Stole" their music, they just do it better nor does it mean they are the only reason every hiphop artist today is famous because of them

[rokch1ck]

@Jrsc5ive no. but when an artist covers anothers artist song they recognize them for it. elvis sang black peoples songs and didnt give them credit. so if hes the one who perfected it....then technically he didnt. cause he sang other peoples songs. so its the others who perfected it.

[thejonwild]

@16cdn91 and white people created rap weird how music changes around

[desertninjax]

@16cdn91 Nu uhh... it was Marty McFly... who was found by Marvin Berry. :)

[AbandonedCorpse]

Oh God, bless not rapping black guys! And send more them! ;D

[LilDeviant09]

@AbandonedCorpse except they were rappingthe entire time.

[vondada]

This video should have millions of views. What is wrong with people?

[TheOnlyMrRager]

@bluewireful i listen to all kinds of music, this guys rapping

[Najamoniq]

i am in love. it's like if me and best friend didn't sing, we just rapped and listened to punk rock and drank 40's.

[boomyAxlRose9]

These guys are fuckin' sick! I just discovered them this moment. Going to Osheaga, decided to search some bands I didn't know. So pumped to see them rock Montreal!

[akky529]

so good, makes me want to dance! :D

[jaydee453]

dope

[triumphtr779]

is that...is that Del?

[TheOnlyMrRager]

Why is everyone saying black guys singing, hes rapping......... I like it i'm just saying its still rapping

[eekaynyne]

if u like them look up Whole Wheat Bread

[Blink965]

@eekaynyne Whole Wheat Bread are good but they're pretty different from The Knux

[eekaynyne]

if u like them look up Whole Wheat Bread

[or1g3l]

I wanna have sex with this song... i wanna make love to a women n I'm a women

[psychedelnick1]

I hope these guys blow up huge. They really rock. Especially live.

[paulboy1016]

i dont care if it sounds like rap or rock... this song kicks ass

[nicknkub]

Damn I've known the Knux for a long time but I've never gotten to see them! They're so slept on, I can't find news anywhere. When is Eraser coming out?

[Mesholicious1991]

Whats happen 2 the real black guys who rap !!

[ScottyKoz78]

Just discovered/saw them at Bonnaroo. They were awesome!

[7ygrr]

@JUSTIN030783 Instrumentally, yes, they sound Rock but vocally...i hear nothing but old school hip hop

[7ygrr]

@JUSTIN030783 dongt get it twisted. knux are hip hop. is it hard to understand?

[ManuCmplx]

@JUSTIN030783 pretty sure theyre rapping in this song too.

[LilDeviant09]

@JUSTIN030783 so let's act neither one of them were rapping in this song. as a follower of all their music, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

[BryanAsHimself]

Just saw this on Carson Daly, love ittt.

[LilDeviant09]

The KNUX are a hip-hop group for those of you who obviously tuned out the entire genre, believing that every individual that raps sounds and raps about the same thing. However, they are "genre bending," as described on their website. They're not the usual sound compared to all the other tired shit you'd hear on the radio today. "You call 'em hipsters, we call 'em hip hop before the glisteners."-Rah Amillio. They are hip hop without the annoying bling, pop sounding, fake gangster shit mixed in.

[donnyskhi]

@LilDeviant09 fucking thankyou thankyou thankyou. these motherfuckers prolly never heard of run dmc

[ThePhantastes]

@LilDeviant09 well fuckin' said

[averydagirl]

@LilDeviant09 just becuz they're black, that dusent make them hip hop.. is it so hard for black people to make music of another genre??!! the Knux make music of a totally different genre that dusent make them stereotypes and u still cant call them indie rock??

[LilDeviant09]

@averydagirl 1. The KNUX themselves have claimed to be hip-hop duo through various interviews and IN THEIR LYRICS.

2. Look through my statement and see if you can spot where I stereotype being black. Oh right, it's not there, because I didn't.

3. Fix your spelling.

4. You speak of the group as if you've heard other songs besides this one, but I doubt you've even heard their album or their EP. So Hush, watch Watchu Say and Wake The Fuck Up. True fans who have will notice what I just did there.

[MrDeviousPixie]

@LilDeviant09 You're quite the hipster, my friend...

[LilDeviant09]

@MrDeviousPixie sigh. I really hate that you called me that. sir, I like their music. I like a lot of music that wouldn't immediately be viewed as popular, nor would it be typical to what most of the children today listen to. this however, in fact does not make me a 'hipster.'

[polishdog90]

I'm not sure if I dig the new sound. The chorus sounds overproduced to me

[GabySuh]

That voice...it sounds like gorillaz....



[skeezas1]

nice work!

[skeezas1]

nice work!

[sidorov96]

LOL nigger arent rapping congratulations , cool song

[LilDeviant09]

@sidorov96 LOL dumb youtube fuck making idiot comment congratulations, you're just like then rest of 'em.

[Lowdownparatrooper]

Nice song i'd like to see more bands taking the Rick Rubin model and running with it. Yeah go google Rick Rubin kiddies.

[iluvthesummer]

I HATE VEVO IT FUCKING SUCK!

[MyJunior1975]

This song sounds so...I don't know...how do you Americans say it...suburban?

[allstar2bein2023]

Good to see people finally catching on to The Knux.

[TheBelord]

R U Fuckin kiddin me ? what about chris brown man ?!

[BillyShanksworth]

[BillyShanksworth]

THIS DNT MAKE NO SENSE??! But I think I maybe like it.

[DanceSexMusicHipHop]

MS JACK DAVEY!

[mariadelaossa]

This is so copied of Franz Ferdinand

[glover2284]

Holy shit Lenny Kravitz is back haaha

[DrCaps]

Do you ever get the feeling where you just can't stop nodding your head?? Because I got that feeling right now!!!!

[Papriko5]

Can't do nothin but love it!! This shit i so UP!!

[ProducitonGamerVideo]

Nie był bym polakiem gdybym nie napisał : Słychać strzały 0:03 :D Heh jedno mnie cieszy,ci czarnoskórzy panowie nie rapują:D

[sanderbreukhoven1]

[slatertheslater]

[SAMURAI13DD]

Is that Deltron?

[Antoine49musique]

Rock ??? Come back 20 years ago guys, minimal compact - The next one is real !

[galandebrigard]

Hehe, its funny how everything turns into a racial argument. We're just missing something with Justin Bieber and Chuck Norris and we're officially a Cliché.

Neway, this song is win.

[ADayInALifeOfA]

THEY KNOW HOW TO ROCK!!!!!!

[perveysaggyoldman]

LOVE IT :D

[CSIslowakia]

[LOVE4MUZYK]

LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO!!!!GREAT@MONICA

[BoogieMan256]

DAMN!! this SONG is AWESOME!!!!!!

[TheSweetiepie93]

who are they !! :))

[Chronicspitta]

Is he actually playing that guitar? If so, I commend them and give them props. If not, then this is just another cross genre bullshit single.

[katnamey]

@Chronicspitta really is playing the guitar. They have always played their own instruments

[bonbon2q]

@Chronicspitta They were all definitely playing their own. They're pretty fucking good.

[AcshIttable]

hmm black guys not rapping. i fucking love it

[KiranStevens]

@AcshIttable Oooh, sorry to break it to you. But they rap too . . . But they are great.

[BillyShanksworth]

@AcshIttable ur a dumb shit. this is rap. how deaf r u?

[LilDeviant09]

@AcshIttable they do rap though. pretty different sound too.

[shystar36]

@AcshIttable do you not realize the main vocalist was rapping the entire time

[DirectedByRocko]

@AcshIttable they're rappers....

[giga0524]

@AcshIttable lenny kravits?



[giga0524]

@AcshIttable sry for double post but jimi hendrix? lmao

[smukase]

@AcshIttable wtf r u on about?! if u give a shit to look closely enuf almost all types of popular music in the world was started by black ppl >_>

[AcshIttable]

@smukase If you look closely enough, you'll see that you need to listen more during English class. Learn how to type properly then get back to me.

[smukase]

@AcshIttable english is my 5th language and i even kno it enuf to speak it in slang, u were saying? learn how to be less ignorant and then get back to me ;)

[thejoeloops]

@AcshIttable not rapping... wtf?

[Hybridlife]

I love all the narrow minded people who wanna try and box The Knux in and compare them to other artists. Gtfo.

[esfurcy]

@tpw44 it's people like you would say something like that, however you'll be the first one to say some dumb s*** about the typical american rap!!

LET HIM BE WHAT HE WANTS TO BE!!!

[bbpotiron]

We would say a copy of the artist Lenny Kravitz with an a little bit strange rap mix...

[mdenton94]

@bbpotiron yea it does sound pretty similar to him

[ponysito44]

good music... sucky singing

[tpw44]

this is why african americans rap and not sing..

[458237]

@tpw44 Bad Brains-dont bother me...check em out then talk

[Sabi2fly]

@tpw44 Fail in many ways. African Americans don't just rap, we sing as well so yeah, feel stupid.

[tpw44]

@Sabi2fly the odd ones sure, but this is an example of the many who cant

[Absoloutely]

@Sabi2fly the dude in this song is like... sing-rapping... feel stupid.

[Sabi2fly]

@Absoloutely i wasnt talking about the dude in the song, i was talking about African Americans in general...feel stupid.

[cal04450]

@Sabi2fly I think it's a fail for you to say "we" as if you're any different because of the colour of your skin.

[Sabi2fly]

@cal04450 I didn't meen it that way. Sorry that i wasn't clear enough for you to get my message. But what do you want me to say, They sing as well?

[cal04450]

@Sabi2fly no harsh intentions... i just think tpw44 should keep their mouth shut and worry about their own life.. i don't see him singing song with cudi?

[Sabi2fly]

@cal04450 lol yeah, sorry about snapping at you.

[tpw44]

this is why african americans rep and not sing..
