@GarageFlower19 yeah because if you listen the squeaky voice is named cozmo just like the rapper from newcleus. but yeah its a tribute from mos def and its awesome.
so... we all are out for ourselves and what not but these new artist come from a small town in VA where the music scene is ZERO. if you are into new music and care to support some REAL artists PEEP THIS:
man this shit is tha jam!!!! i really dig the old school vibe we know mos paid his respect to the golden age of rap!!!!!! i can rock this track all night all night all rite all rite!!!!!
@corey41685 There are more south artist that are putting on but i wont deny most south artist that achieve mainstream success havent displayed a shade of this talent.
@gquick Young Buck bangin it 4 the south! luda luda also quality! Lil wayne is a genius, Rick Ross, Scarface, even Andre 3000's a legend all of them south boyz!
5 Stars for sure I love this Video im a big fan of Mos Def for years would love to see them live. Check out my youtube video search for DJ Wreckless 2010
70s, 80s and 90s we had MCs. People with knowledge and soul. Rappers have no soul and are sellouts. Last decade was golden, last decade because we start counting at first century no 0 century. This world is sad, even drake from degrassi, not the original which is the kids of degrassi street but the gay degrassi.
@RandyMoss94 yeah it's on the Lryicist Lounge Ekco Unlimited CD. Which I have special order AGAIN cause mine is all scratched up cause I went and played the hell out of it. This will be the fifth one.
@randalmendonsa GO TO MY PAGE AND LISTEN TO SOME REAL "SOUTH RAP" AND SEE WHAT SOUTHERN HIP-HOP REALLY SHOULD SOUND LIKE. RESEARCH THA ARTISTS YOU HEAR, AND RETHINK THAT STATEMENT. BY THE WAY, YOU ARE RIGHT. THAT CRAP THAT'S OUT NOW IS KILLING HIP-HOP...BUT IT'S NOT JUST ONE REGION'S FAULT. IT'S THE BLATANT AND DISREPECTFUL COMMERCIALISM OF THE ART FORM.
@randalmendonsa Im from the North West but I support real hip hop world wide. You cant write off a whole region's music as detrimental to the art. There are of artists who rep the south and contribute to hip hop as a whole including brothas like Little Brother.
@randalmendonsa woahhhhhhhhhhhh bro, you need to check your music history.
i dont pay attention to any other state, but texas has put out some of the illest emcees ever. dont ever blame a single place on a world wide music genre. therers talent everywhere.
@randalmendonsa the faster tempo did started in the south but it was in florida and it would of have never goten out if NY would of had taken it mainstrea to clubs and radios back way back in the day then after NY toke the south style the south toke the west cost style and slowd it down and NY did influence the faster tempo with this type of music as far as i know it was florida not all the south so technically NY killed hip hop but yes around 2004 when all of atlanta come out
@randalmendonsa Im from the south randal and I gotta tell you, you are SO Fuking Right. I can't stand south music. People are just ignorant when it comes to listening to music. Ask a person why they listen to the music that they listen too, and some will say it makes them feel good, and it makes them wanna dance.. Bullshit. The question should be, what do you learn from music, what is the lesson? SOo many lessons in Hip-hip, a 3-5 minute enlightening lecture; TRUE HIP-HOP.
Definately Old School zettebda. One of the original pioneers of RAP/hip hop the group Newcleus is the original artist. They came out with the original "Jam on it" in 1984. Bey you youngstas didn't know that? LOL The same genre/era as Whodini, Grandmaster Flash, Soul Super Sonic Force, and Run DMC.
wow this brought me back a few YEARS! LOL
