Blue Scholars "No Rest For The Weary" Bumbershoot 2006

[shixtsuxren]

No Rest For The Weary

[MLGJuggernautgaming]

Blue Scholars>Kanye

[ilikecerealz1]

every one was clearly there to see the scholars

[PeacemakerShaun1011]

God Damn look at that crowd bumpin the scholars

[g0a1ieguy]

high quality my ass

[KidCoolio]

@g0a1ieguy In 2006, this was high quality. Actually really good quality for that year

[fromar95]

Can't help but get goosebumps at 0:15

[SeattleSkeez]

@fromar95 fo sho



[hydrangeaism]

@fromar95 I KNOW, HUH?! Intense mass grounded-ness fo-show! We would do well to unite like this, toward a universal sentiment of common good, more often!

[19MJsPr89]

Kanye must have appeared so unimpressive by comparison. I actually think Kanye's a good producer, but Sabzi just takes it to a whole new level.

[SuperiorConcept]

There should be a Tour called Seattle Hip-Hop and the line-up would be SOL, Macklemore, Grynch, Common Market, Grieves, CunninLynguists, and Blue Scholars

[MrVatechprez]

@SuperiorConcept + Knowmads and Dyme Def

[SuperiorConcept]

@MrVatechprez yes indeed

[hitch4645]

@SuperiorConcept CunninLynguists aren't from seattle

[SuperiorConcept]

@hitch4645 ya i no but they were living in Seatle at a time so why not add them into a beastly tour line up

[BoomByxx777]

None better than the Scholars!

[VishnuN100]

2 people like to suck on little wayne's dick and lick his testiculars all day and night err' day!

[iggytor]

even though the quality isnt that great you can see all the hands moving crystal clear

[jet0l19]

anybody know if they'l be at bumbershoot this year?

[bigduce223]

"are yall ready for Kanye!"...*Awkward Silence*

[festaloon]

Haha why wasn't kanye openin for scholars?

[BenDunstan91]

you know its an amazing song when the whole crowd keeps their arms moving to the beat the entire song

[theoriginalmcsquare]

I would pay just to see the Blue Scholars open. I could care less wether or not Kanye even shows up to perform

[raoulhery]

the lesson might change but the essence of the message is the same

[chuckpalalay]

got every one of their albums so far... there's not a track that i don't like...

[haitianjack5]

Good vid zia, im looking forward to the wings project comin out

[cry12344]

I would kill to be there.

[MrVasicrack1]

Thumbs up if seattles your town.  Represent fooz

[generfilms]

How can you even compare Kanye to Blue Scholars?? Their musical styles are very different. It's like apples and oranges. Saying that Kanye is worse because he doesn't rap about the same shit is just stupid complaining from backpackers.

Kanye and Blue Scholars and both really dope, but in completely different ways. It's fine if Kanye isn't you're style, but comparing the two is totally unfair. If you don't feel Kanye, then you clearly aren't the target audience for his music.

[ShorelineMBX]

@generfilms Kanye=Mainstream=Shit Music, Blue Scholars=Seattle Underground=Awesome

[generfilms]

@ShorelineMBX Your comment = typical backpacker ignorance.

[ShorelineMBX]

@generfilms backpacker?! tha fuck!?

[generfilms]

@ShorelineMBX "blah blah mainstream sucks underground is best blah blah blah."

That's what you and every other backpacker sounds like.

Who cares if it's mainstream or not? Music is music. It may not be your thing, but your opinion doesn't mean shit to other people who like it.

Just another elitist asshole who looks down on other people with different tastes them him.......

[ShorelineMBX]

@generfilms I listened to the music (all music, from blue grass-hip hop), I evaluate every aspect of hip-hop.

Blue Scholars have more original and varied beats. More Lyrics or rapping instead of chorus. They don't talk about drugs, money, power or sex. I'm not just talking about Blue Scholars either, there is Macklemore, Jake One etc...

[generfilms]

@ShorelineMBX That's your problem. This music isn't up for your "evaluation." Why not just listen to the music you like and leave the rest alone? Why does everything have to be so complicated and judgmental. Just listen and enjoy.

And I am very familiar with Seattle hip-hop. I listen to Blue Scholars, Macklemore, The Physics, Fresh Espresso, Mad Rad, Grynch, Cancer Rising, Solzilla, JackTheRipper, Dyme Def, and many others. I'm every bot as much of a fan as you.

[Dropkick101]

Northwest is the best

[undergroundtrife72]

ha These kanye fans have no clue what they witnessed. They probably thought ohh its just some other unheard of rap group .....I guarantee most of these people were just listening, but not really listening. If u kno what im saying. They were all moving their hands, and bobbing their heads, but the message, originality, and lyricism flew over their them completely. After scholars left the stage and Kanye came on, they quickly forget about them, and went back to hearing shit....and loved it more:/

[2pdilla2]

@undergroundtrife72

haha come on bro. do your research. "BUMBERSHOOT" is a seattle music and arts festival. seattle is the blue scholars hometown... i guarantee the majority of heads there were more of blue scholars fans than kanye fans. but all that matters is your a scholar fan.. so big ups to you and the scholars..

[Ohsureyado]

Kanye fans are gonna be like "Wait, the Blue Scholars arent obsessed with girls, and weed? thats so wierd. rap is never like that...." :)

[ckeroles1993]

kanye should have opened for the scholars

[crunchypudding13]

this concert is what got me interested in hip hop. thank you blue scholars for opening my eyes.

[gar2chan]

SEATTLE REPRESENT

[los1234ful]

Damn kanye should be opening for the blue scholars

[MIGsCT]

crazy good crowd

[blockinater]

0:27 somebody is grabbing his crotch. lol.

[cheeseone04]

GRABE!ANG SARAP SA PAKIRAMDAM

[michfan01]

The reason i cant stop listening to Blue Scholars is because all of their songs are so original, true, and amazing....they should have their own radio station haha

[zarenj21]

A sea of hands thrown up to show appreciation. What a lovely sight.

[lemenaidtip]

damn.. blue scholars are the best underground performers

[MCSubliminalSol]

Oh god, the live version is amazing! Id kill to be in that crowd

[designyourshirts1]

wow!!!

[insaneme3]

It should be Kanye Opening for them

[stokelycarm]

this is so hot! love blue scholars till i die..its a marriage

[muranyiii]

i bet those people waiting for kanye had no clue who blue scholars were, how can so much ignorance not waken up to this?!

[red2razor]

@muranyiii This was actually in Seattle so they probably did, but I know what you're saying.

[67mustangreg]

YESSSS!!! You guys closed last night's show with this song and it meant a lot to me. thank you.

[nathanhensleigh]

[barrysthing]

[WhenIgnoranceReigns]

Damn, I've been to a lotta shows in my time, but I don't think I've ever seen a crowd get this involved. I've always wanted to see Scholars, they need to come down to Portland!

[Smalls]

@WhenIgnoranceReigns they been in the portland area. they go to eugene alot for free college shows.

[Ahav05]

@Smalls it's obvious why they go to eugene a lot...it's really green down there.

[Minidwarf7]

@WhenIgnoranceReigns Hell Yeah!

[ok4haha]

Goosebumps =)

[kotis22]

Yeah dog, I get goosebumps too =D

[ProjektDaze]

I think they were more hyped for Blue Scholars than Kanye haha

[MrJupiterMan]

Nothing can be more hyped then the Blue Scholars in Seattle.

[Tempted666]

[naldredge]

What are you talking about? In the past few years we've had Atmosphere, TCQ, Wu-Tang...

This year we had Common Market, Macklemore, D. Black, Champagne Champagne, Swollen Members, U-N-I...

[matthewlittle]

CHAMPAGNE CHAMPAGNE! ahh so sick. put blackeyed peas to shame

[jasonbarrera]

Peace to Oakland! 510! Hella respect for the Blue Scholars!

[ciesynski911]

[2pacalypsenow]

[robot831]

Yeah proletariats rise up against the corrupted system

[Welch76]

Beasty!

I bet Kanye did ruin the night hahaha.

[PortablePinoy]

Beautiful meng.

[mrbee052]

god deyymm i wish i was derr

[masterbartsimpson]

I would be there just for the blue scholars. I hate kanye.

[kirklandwhitetee]

then kanye west came on and ruined it.

[herinfernalmajesty09]

@kirklandwhitetee 

[itislorraine]

@kirklandwhitetee TRUE!

[floydfan635]

@kirklandwhitetee is that cause kanye west is black?

[teenagejezuz69]

@floydfan635 no its because kanye west sucks dick

[floydfan635]

@teenagejezuz69 i don't think you realize the progress black americans have come in the past couple thousand years

[teenagejezuz69]

@floydfan635 i dont hate kanye west because hes black..... i just dont like his music.....or his attitude....or what he does....or how he treats people

[floydfan635]

@teenagejezuz69 WWRPD??? what would rosa parks do??!

[aBlueScholar]

@floydfan635 I don't think you realize how long America has been a country...

[kirklandwhitetee]

@floydfan635 yes...

[NickV801]

They sound so good live. Cant wait to see them.

[cire010]

gave me goosebumps

[pineapplepootytang]

hahaha word

[naldredge]

Geo probably felt like shittin his pants, lol

[Labyr1nth]

epic.

[sgutierrez80]

dammn the crowd's all wild!

[mrshorteepantz]

even though the crowd was partly for kanye, at 0:15, you see how much respect Blue Scholars Get. they are getting famous now, and im proud of that, but if they go mainstream and start making music about sex and hookers and gay shit like that, i will lose a lot of respect for them.

[calvin1392]

there not really famous once the leave seattle thow

[mrshorteepantz]

a year back, they had no shows outside of washington, this year, they went on tour with hieroglyphics.

[belinda364]

i caught the hiero + blue scholars show in sacramento a few months ago. i don't think i need to say this, but they were mindblowing live. MINDBLOWING.

[mrshorteepantz]

oh man for real man, hiero and blue scholars came here in seattle (obviously) and it was amazing.

its awesome because sabzi makes the sickest beats, and geo makes the best fitting rhymes

[vpsafety9]

they arent going mainstream they have always been a huge underground group in their hometown seattle which is where this concert was that explains the support

[mrshorteepantz]

i was in the front row of this show bro

i know where they are from

and i said that when it seemed they were going mainstream but im happy to say now that they arent.

ive seen blue scholars live probably about 20 times, and each and every show is packed

[macnsteeeze]

he is a genius.

[khernan05]

if you like blue scholars, you should definitely check out Michael Franti's "Hey World"!!

[obiwankaynobi]

sup from bakitwhy (dot) com. We post about the blue scholars frequently on the site, and this excellent video really captures their awesomeness. Is there a high quality version of this vid? Seems like something that would look great on a big screen.

[yiersansiwoliuqiba]

im gettin chills here:P wish i was there.. must've been sick

[TheFoundingFather]

haha, they were at my school (bainbride island) it was a free concert and only like 150 kids showed up. Sad, man, but that show was tight. Blue Scholars are the best NW group out there, thanks guys

[kringlenjingle]

ya that was a pretty tinny crowd at BHS, but it was still awsome becuase i got to meet em both.

[daghst]

yeah same at garfield high school

[salmun111]

[naldredge]
