  • yo your listening to mos def....... be positive.

  • he should so do this more!

  • yo mos just ripped this track in Spanish with a Dominican accent! this dude is a beast!!

  • Dont come here to argue guys, come here enjoy this brilliant music, and share more good music, be a brotherhood, let it be a blessing that we can come here all together and listen and appriciate the same beutifull music. Bless!! OneWorld, OneLove

  • This gifes me serius chills every time I listen to it

  • love mos def

  • este caballero es un grande durisimo

  • I usually listen to Mos for the wisdom of lyrics, now, i dont know what he just said but i still dug every word!

  • @ChoccyChum It made total sense. Its just about struggling. Claro que si means "its obvious" and no hay nada mas means "theres nothing more"

  • @LukewarmKoolaid I had know doubt it didn't make sense. It just didn't to me because I don't speak spanish lol

  • @ChoccyChum Lol and I was just letting you know what it was about cuz you didnt

  • i think that mos def is the greatest rapper in the world. listen how influential this sounds

  • Mira que me gusta Mos Def, pero se columpia haciendo una canción con un castellano tan pobre.

  • @tiorimas Pero tiene merito que un nota tan grande y un old school como este cabron, tenga los cojones de meterse una cancion en castellano para el publico latino y español. Eso es lo que pienso yo. Ojala la mitad de mc's de España fueran capaces de instalar raices al otro lado del charco

  • @CulturaHH21 Amén. Un saludo!

  • The reason this song has more views than likes is because of all the ignorance that many of you are spewing on here. Just listen to the music and appreciate it for what it is !

  • damn rhyming in spanish? clever havent seen this before

  • FLOCKA!

  • @xphilcf297x hahahahah perfect comment for this video.

  • This song isn't for me but Mos Def is ill regardless

  • i swear utube shud create a replay button!!

  • i think they should get rid of commenting on music videos on youtube, i swear people only argue and the shit isnt healthy

  • bueno,  flaco, flaaco

  • mos def is PAISOTA?!

  • tremendO!

  • over 60thousand views but only 186 likes..

  • @ThaBadGuys Cause the people who like it listen to it over and over and over and over.......At least I do XD

  • gotta give mos def his props... no matter what ANYONE says or thinks about mos def, is doesnt change the fact that he's simply untouchable biiiaaattchh!

  • @Kenshi76 Argentines DO have their heads up their asses,...I will give you that. But it doesnt change the fact that they speak like Spaniards (without the lisp). 2nd of all I've NEVER EVER heard ANY Boriqua or Domincan speak Castillo/Castellano(not even the educated ones)Thats bullshit.And whats this "ignorance on blacks speaking spanish" ...I was ASKING if thats what you were saying. Learn to read dickwad. I KNOW that plenty of blacks speak spanish,idiota.

  • if you want to get technical,Spaniards speak CASTILLO. for the exception of Puerto Ricans and Domincans (which arent s.American and usually speak TERRIBLE spanish) 90% of South America speaks whats known to the common man as SPANISH.The rest speak portugese or indigenous languages(Paraguay,Bolivians,c­entral americans n those who live in the jungle and mountains)n 4 those who are NOT latino,learn spanish from Argentines or Colombians or educated Mexicans.Spaniards speak with a lisp..it's awful.

  • @tropicalpimp Just a correction... 60% of South America speaks portuguese...

  • with the exception of Venezuela??? What kinda horse shit is that?? It's a fuckin 3rd world country. It's PACKED with ignorant mu'fuckas. You sound like a smart dumb ass.

  • @tropicalpimp racist fuck

  • @Kenshi76 South Americans are known to be ignorant to what exactly? Black people speaking spanish?

  • @Kenshi76: can't you read? i never said i speak spanish. I asked i frien of mine, how is from ecuador(a spanish country) what the lyrics ment? he said he coul'dn't understand the lyrics, cause it ain't spanish, but just some words.

  • HE HAS SUM LYRICAL SPANISH RHYMES HAHA LOVE MOS

  • Okay, he was my number one lyricist before hand and now.....he raps in spanish?!?! Above and beyond man, above and beyond

  • This is a testament to Mos Def as an artist. How many "musicians" today find an equation that sells and produce music that fits into those parameters. Using the same instruments and lyrical content. Mos Def just put out a song that uses a Spanish guitar and sang in Spanish. Whether or not Mos is the best is a matter of opinion, but it is an indisputable fact that he is damn good.

  • MAS - DEFI (MOS - DEF)

    MAS - DEFI nitivamente Hiphop!

    that is why is like it so much

  • @TheEll103 hell yeah i love his music for that reason and that sound is so original too

  • Perhaps you're right about the current Wayne, but how dare you criticize Jay Z's depth. Have you even listened to Reasonable doubt? (regrets, cashmere thoughts, politiks) This shit is soulful and fierce

  • mos def one of the greatest. Screw this Wayne, Jay-Z best rappers of all time. No one pays the self-conscious, worldly rap any time of day. Its sad.

  • a real artist! not one of this fakecopyasaes,,much much much respect

  • too bad i don't understand spanish.

  • How is this man rapping in spanish. Wow, wat cant he do

    Mos Def is nice in not just one, but two languages!

  • Whaaat he speaks great spanish!

  • he actually can rap better in spanish than some of those whack spanish rappers lol

  • @lajr0207

    Listen to Boca Floja, or Akill Ammar, good spanish UNDERGROUND music. What you usually listen to  is the 'spanish mainstream' which IS whack

  • Might Mos Def!

    el jeffe de hip hop

  • anyone has a translation?

  • Respect to Mos Def... as a Hispanic it's good to hear a song like this.

  • but lets not pay any mind to the ignorance of one person, and enjoy music from an incredible artist

  • This sh*t is GENIUS!! I want to hear Mos & Tego Caldon on a track. Half these rappers are too stupid to even learn another language.

    Mos_Def is keeping hip-hop alive...single handedly b/c every thing else sounds the same...Stupid.

  • my least favorite song off the album..

  • @Afrojitsu lol if you understand spanish you would love it cause buddy jammin

    english isn't the only language in this world.

    mad props to mos for expanding his horizons.

  • @dionodinot.... your "spanish" friends obviously does not speak spanish. Just cuz he lived in Spain doesnt make him a fucking professor.

  • Impressive...I like!

  • Damn this shit sound sexy, I might have to become a smut so he could wife me and have fun to this song! lmao Cool ish

  • you know ecuadorians have there own language besides spanish, and mexicans were conquered by spaniards so they have the same spanish its just that there is different ways that they put phrases together, i guess it just sucks to be white right now because i understand everything he is saying,

  • Same here, understand every word, it's ill.

  • Fuck you dionodinot ... stop disrespect this amazing artist ! maybe your friend isn't really spanish or maybe he's spanish with a very limited vocabulary ( = retard spanish dude).

    Mos def is Number one !

    Peace from Palestine & Israel !

  • Um i don't know if you noticed this. He is speaking Spanish not from Spain but Spanish like from Mexico. Hispanic language, not latin.

  • yes and my friend is from ecuador.

  • well im from native from Mexico, and i understand this.... sure... its a little clumsy... but his point gets through... he is understandable... at least for me :)

  • Comment removed

  • dionodinot - Then your friend doesn't speak a word of Spanish. It's clear. Claro que si.

  • Spanish can be confusing based on the country of the listener/speaker.

    for instance, in English, a person from London might not understand a person from Alabama.

    hotep.

  • o man! fucken Mos Def pure classic!

  • im not latino (pakistani) so dont understand a word he ses but it jus sounds so beautiful : ) luv it

  • Any one from NYC going to see him at Governors Island Beach??

  • the only bad thing about this track is...that its so damn short.

  • Not really feelin this much but I can appreciate that it's a good song just not my tastes. Says something about Mos as an ARTIST cause most would not try something llike this.

  • Love this track
