SOL "DEAR FRIENDS" - Official Music Video

[mjk01]

is it weird i don't like most music videos? i mean this one isn't bad by any means but it's kinda like how the book is usually better than the movie.

[Ogoley22]

Is that a bluebird I see?

[TheMrBenjie]

The 6 dislikes have no friends...

[Itsafishable]

pisses me off when i type sol and soldier boy is suggested what happend to the world?

[realbarcaHipHop]

KnowMads and SOL need to do songs and shows together!!!

[whirlywill]

chill dude. its called a low budget video.you think other rap videos are much different? dem tryin to look tough n shit? really? its a fuckin music video. SOL is all about the production, flow, n lyrics. reminds me like Laws. Laws is very similar in many ways.

[knowles88]

i love the underground hip hop rap scene and i really like some of this guys stuff but holy fuck is this the stupidest video ive ever seen it's some guy rapping about how real he is and the whole video is him trying to act and look like a douche

[crazymanjonchin]

My dream Seattle Concert.

KnowMads, Khnigz, Gabriel Teodros, Grynch, Grieves, Sol, Common Market, Blue Scholars, then Macklemore

[rayallen0]

@crazymanjonchin you my good sir have pissed the blue scholars, brothers from another & the physics the fuck off

[crazymanjonchin]

@rayallen0 i did say the blue scholars you good fuck lol

but yea i forot about the physics, bfa still needs more work to be in my list

[9waldo]

Ali G in da house

[cgent55]

Be sure to go to Sol's KickStarter page. Just Google search for Sol - The Road to Yours Truly. Once he hits 3,000 he will drop the first single off the new album.

Minnesnowtah=HiPHoP

[CoastSalishBA]

I can't wrap my mind around how this song could have even 6 dislikes! Those 6 losers are trippin!!!!

[cookedcrackslaps]

Auto tune is also contributing to the death of hip hop

[cookedcrackslaps]

I love when "conscious" rappers make videos that show how truly materialistic and full of themselves they really are.

[hudriver13]

Someone better make a fuckin instrumental

[arlexguy]

Sol that is but u gave me access to hear it. much appreciated

[arlexguy]

u the shit dog.. flip my attitute back to positive

[CMSKIM21]

@dallasbagley im not from seattle but i agree with you 100 percent my man

[GeeGeeTrainee]

eminem should of sing this.

[crazymanjonchin]

@GeeGeeTrainee eminem got nothing on Sol

he can never sing a line like Sol can, actually no rapper can

[ANDEEBOII]

Can you guys please look up snire records. Theyre just a voice for the people that didn't fit in

[izmerone]

tight



[Blam3itonhenny]

No one is probably gonna read this

Im gonna write it anyway because i feel at least one person will.

Im a rapper. I know there is like 100k of those in the world lol

But Im different, and if u give me a chance ill show u

I would love nothing more than to have a decent following on youtube from people. If anyone reads this please press the «THUMBS UP» so other people can see it, just a simple button press could make my dreams come true

Subscribe if you like what you hear.

[crazymanjonchin]

@TheRoundRubberDuck hip hop aint dead!

its living in seattle!

[meganissimo1]

One of the cutest things I've ever seen, and I can't explain why.

[TrollTest]

Youre an inspiration

[phuongtoanitc]

I laughed, I cried, I pissed in my pants. An instant classic

[Doofkopf2]

would anyone be so kind to post the lyrics? i´m no native english speaker so unfortunately i dont understand some of the sentences acoustically :/

(0:37- 0:40, 0:53-0:58, 1:04-1:07, 1:14-1:30, 1:40-1:45, 1:52-2:08, 2:21-2:25, 3:21-3:42)^^

by the way: thumbs up to sol from europe! best rap i´ve ever listened to!

[cgent55]

@Doofkopf2 Here are a few

0:53 - 0:58 - but they rock bottom to me, meaning I'm on top while they at the bottom of the sea

1:14 - 1:30 Dear friends do you and Imma do me, please. Think about the life I chose. Just cause I'm in your ipod dont mean, that you can click drag and delete. Dear friends do you, and Imma do me.

1:40 - 1:45 - You can find me in the booth spittin', microphone blueprintin', told me not to rap for a living but who isn't ?

[Minnie4466]

T. I. G. H. T.

[iBruhhh]

[dMpMissWeirdness]

[ShotimeSports]

[KAMTxInferior]

Sol, make more songs plox.

[volleyballlover7]

Ahh! He just hugged me a few hours ago while I was waiting in line for Macklemore. Crazy to think I touched the guy in this music video (: (: (:

[Dewight007]

first time hearing this. ive been listening to this song for the past hour. SO Dope

[jaaugustavo]

i love black and white. it is so classic, you can't hide behind flash and sizzle, it's the image composition and that's it. Go! This is still my favorite i've ever done, because it is so honest. And yes I watch my own videos sometimes, haha.

[dallasbagley]

@jaaugustavo Agreed sir, you've honestly shot some fantastic videos, but this is my favorite as well. I really admire how you keep it clean, and just rely on good cinematography and editing. My question is, what lens do you primarily use for stuff like this?

[SeattleSk8ed]

dallasbagley you got that right mayne

[dallasbagley]

Seattle owns all of hip hop right now. Our music is the realist, no question.

[g0a1ieguy]

@dallasbagley word

[household93]

@dallasbagley realest. look up "realist" in the dictionary.

[dallasbagley]

@household93 Yeah, sure, I'll do that sometime.

[household93]

@dallasbagley Will you actually, or are you just being snarky?

[dallasbagley]

@household93 I was being completely serious. Haven't had a chance to do it yet, but I got it marked on my calendar.

[nickolaswarner]

@dallasbagley No, Canada owns hip hop right now and you'll see him get upstaged next month at his concert when Shad K opens. It's a discrace he isn't the headliner. US btw.

[punkyhiphopdood]

@dallasbagley True story. Coming from a lifelong hip hop fan that lives in the north of England, the only new stuff I bump is from Seattle. With the exception of Atmosphere and Sweatshop Union.

[labatanga1]

@dallasbagley Although I dig the tunes from Seattle...but don't discredit the hip hop scene in Minneapolis. Some serious talent. Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Doomtree, Dessa, POS, etc.

[jokeRGoTfAme]

@dallasbagley SEATTLE IS JUST FILTHY

[usctrojansfan04]

Sol is the antithesis of the rap game.

[weflyhigher420]

Sol is the one of the only TRUE artists, not just in the rap game but the entire music industry. He tells the story of his life through his songs but at the same time allows his listeners reflect on theirs and in such a way that forces you to think instead of presenting pointless punchlines that are put right in front of you.

[JewManCrew]

Sol is the Robin Hood of the rap game. Kickinitwitch Maid Marian, gettin' So Damn High with his Dear Friends, the merry men, and fightin' against the Sheriff of Nottingham for his rightful position as Seattle's Prince!

[HOVAAAAA]

True hip hop. All music nowadays are about weed, bitches, sex. This is real hiphop, who gives a fuck if he's jewish, stfu with that stupid shit. He's raw as hell and he's got potential. @GdUpFromTheFeetUp He's raw and stop fucking hating. Get outta here, your judging him on his religion and ethnicity but not on his music. He sampled Biggie but look around, everyone ALWAYS samples on other people's shit so yeah. Get outta here with that bullshit.
