  • so sad a song like this isn't on the radio. when they do play a song like this dam that will be the day

  • I've been listening to this album since 2007, but I lost all the files recently. It doesn't look like it's available on his website anymore, so does anyone know where I can get it again?

  • this is what you call real

    we need more REAL rappers from Queens and he did 1:32 - 1:34 near my house

  • i hope he gets to be president one day, and he gets money.

  • im trying to load it on limewire

  • OH MY GOD, so am i, but it keeps showing movies and videos, why the hell is this not on limewire, if its on youtube, then it should be aleast on limewire, i actualy had the search, and that crap stalled on me :|

  • I wanna see this guy grow into the music industry as this is classic stuff. I downloaded his free album a long time ago and hoped to see more from him and nothing has come of it yet, which is a disappointment. I suppose real talking and classic rappers dont see the light of day in this fake hip hop world.

    Lets hope he gets what he deserves, a voice in this industry.

    This track still makes me come back to listen to it, real classic stuff. Peace.

  • y iz ma man nt big yet

  • He aint big yet cuz he aint rapping bout candy shops and keepin ppl chasin after the "game"...he's real and that aint taken too well and aint funded because no one wants kids to really have goals and to really wanna get out of the projects etc...there's more money for the elites when they up in the clubs and on the blocks struggling rather than aiming high and achieving their goals...its sick really! Great song...Love the real...REAL rap eh...Krs, Bootcamp, Immortal Technique, Helter Skelter etc

  • Rap isn't quite the oldest.. lol

    Make love not war.

  • shut the fuck up....can u do any better dick head?

  • Wait, Are You Trying To Be Funny?

    It's NOT Hilarious.

    Anyhow, This Kid Is Doing It BIG!

    He Definitely Has skill.

  • he sound like lupe

  • Really good song! Better than most of the songs some famous rapers do.

  • this song is bullshit, i bet if someone came out with a song called " young, gifted, and white" that would be racist. but its okay for a black to do it, then its not racist. your all a bunch of fucking poor english speaking hipocrits

  • Yo get this, we weren't the one who started this white/black analogy. YOur ancestors did and we're just going along with the system. I mean look at the indians in this country. Why do they call them native americans when it's not really what they are. And if being white is labeled as racist it's because ur ancestor again made it that way. ur kkk buddies, look at them!

  • last time I checked there's nobody alive from back then now is there? its over give it up find a new hobby besides complaining, look at the jews and what happened to them by the germans and that happened alot more recently than that and they dont complain half as much. no one on earth living at this time had anything to do with it so whats the point of winning about it?

  • ok, so who's complaining? calling yourself black it's complaining now? i don't get it. You seem like a person who doesn't do anything but dwells in all of the negativity that's in this world. If i were you i'd stop listening to those kkk racoons and start focusing on other things.

  • what the hell are you even talking about my mom and grandparents live through the entire civil rights movement, plus the holocaust as bad as it was not half as bad as slavery or the social policies that came about as a result and it did not even last as long plus the Jews got reparations

  • how in the hell is working on a feild all day worse than watching your whole family killed and tortured.

  • Real fucking easy, your whole family is killed that's a tragedy, however there is no unguided procreation of you seed. During the holocaust sure Jewish people are tortured and killed as a senseless scapegoat for a global racist movement, but their culture was not destroyed. Jews don't have the burden of having to try to rebuild their culture from scratch while having the negative influence of GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAMS carefully designed to derail any sort of progress in their community.

  • The Jews although they have had more than their fair share of set back through out history, they have always had the luxury of coming through thei hard time with their culture intact. However the there were tactics employed that were carefully devised to tear our culture and family structure to shredded and to leave our future offspring drifting in the wind.

  • o really do you care to discuss this or are you fine being a biggot?

  • why would someone be called racist for saying young gifted and white?

    they wouldnt.

    Young gifted and asian, young gifted and fuckin mongolian.... who cares dude?

    stop seeing in color, start seeing people.

  • gist is very promising for the hip hop scene, and so is lupe fiasco but yall forgetten will smith, just cuz hes an actor now doesnt mean hes less of a rapper, man he got the first rap grammy! will is very underrated in hip hop but its nice to see a rapper like gist here 2.

  • HAHAHAHAHA ! Will smith i almost chocked up hahaha will motherfkin smith hahahaha

  • have you heard his old school raps with dj jazzy jeff?? then ull stop laughing.

  • still who gives he sucks lol

  • if u think he sucks then u dont understand music and lyrical meaning in hip hop.

  • finally a young Kat keeping it real, who ain't trying to front talking about crack, street cred, and the rest of that B.S.

  • tbh the world cud do with more ppl liek lupe fiasco, its all good

  • even if he is a wannabe lupe we styll need more positive rappers who say its ok to be urself and you aint gotta b a gangster 2 b cool

  • if u want more rap like that download some MURS or some PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS thats good music or just anyone on rhymesayers label

  • His good!

  • great tune!

  • nice song

  • can someone give me the lyrics????

  • I <3 THIS SONGG!!!

  • yo gist this is kingv101 from aim and dude thanks for inspiring me to pick up a mic. you are like a great person hold the game up.

  • Really i don't give a fuck what race this guy is black green white whatever ya'll are so fuckin racist really... we have people throwing the n word out, racist black people i live in atlanta ga so i fucking know what racist is so dont give me this shit that black people are superior bullshit

  • Hey Gist. Thanx for the opportunity to b in ur video. Keep doin ya thing :)

  • ur famous

  • Where can I buy his young brother's CD? First rap song I've ever liked!!!!! This should be mainstream. Why haven't I heard it on the radio?

  • See Why

    "Money Magnets" the Video Is Redefining Rap and Hip Hop

    On ilovekjgtv

  • Is this another anthem.....haha I think so.

  • Yo dis is ma ish.... he could rap. Nd the great thing about this song is he jus flowin. i love this song. he needs to come out already and get down foreal dow. but i give that to him. he real good.

  • havnt heard an n word thank god finally somebody who can sing good music and does not throw around racist terms!

  • Fuck the hate, keep ya shyt up

  • dude is nice foreal

  • it's bouncin

  • real shit real hip hop

  • K can you make anything better white boi?

  • yo ur music is mad hot, keep doin what u do and impact the world

  • Racism, abuse, constant bitching. Give it a rest pur-lease.

    I'm a 30 something white guy and I thought this was a great track, I really like the original from which this is sampled from and I think it pays respect to the original artist.

    Lyrically a joy to hear, but still a little nuturing before this guy can stand with the rest. Don't let that be a downer, it sounds to me that there's only one road for this guy; And that's to the top.

  • much love <3 :)

  • I usually don't like much rap especially ganster. But this music is not the same. This is truth right here. Keep telling em brother and some day maybe we'll all really be the same and we can love each other like we should.

  • *Cough*

  • for a rapper to have his first line of his first single to be "and i ain't ever sold an ounce of crack/never busted tre pound of mac" now thats some real shit

  • much love bro ...keep doing what you doing. God bless you to excel!!!

  • hip hop needs people like this, who fuckin dont rap the same bullshit over some weak club dance beat.

  • im white and im rascist as hell but this is fresh and he sounds good and i actually like it.

  • I think this song is pretty good. The video has has some corny parts in it but the song itself is good.

  • Theflash, Corny is constantly having video hoes that look like models, supposedly dancing for thugs with grills who look like they're stupid and they stink in almost ALL rap videos. This video was far from corny. It's professional and inspirational and if that's corny to you, then I feel sorry for you. A brother's inspiration shouldn't be a bunch of HIV infected strippers on a pole. LOL

  • Why not? lol. I agree with you on that, I guess corny was just the wrong word.

  • I got nothing against the song, but, what does the fact that he is black have anything to do with...well...anything. young, gifted ANd black, but black gives nothing more to a human being.

  • the reason why he says black is because of the portrayal of black people as unintelligent, drug dealing gangsters. he's not saying black is better but that there are black people that dont do those things. also that he dooesnt rap about sex and money (like 50 cent and all those)

  • lmao....keep it up monkey...show us wat ignorance is all about, and by the way, dont let ur monkey but ur rasism go....take a walk and let it walk, just didnt want to use the word hypocrite on u....one love!! paw!!

  • got a good flow....should keep it up, but the lyrics are kinda too common, but otherwise...beats is pretty good...like that oldskool sound

  • racist crap? not one sentence of your post was unracist. what talent do you have? typing racial slurs? Being tough behind a keyboard?

  • God you people are dumb. the black comes from the sample in the song. young gifted and black. thats the sample the beat is using. you know, the the nina simone song?

  • Way to bring it---

    Wonderful Job---

    Keep working hard

  • nice....feelin the donny hathaway title!!

  • yo i love this song lol

    nah but realy its good

  • Cool.

  • what does black have to do with anything? i thought we were all the same.
