  • I know this may offend some people, but I'm going to say it anyway (the truth hurts). A lot of people think that Jesus and Allah are the same God, but they are not. Allah was a false Babylonian moon god that the Babylonians called sin and the Arabs called Allah (that's why the symbol for Islam is a crescent moon). Also, by the way, Jesus was actually black (but a lot of you already know this, I assume). Besides that, Mos Def did a good job on this song and what he's talking about is very true.

  • Christianity has unfortunately been abused by people who supposedly did it "in the name of the Lord". This is what happened to during the "Holy" Crusades and this is also what happened after the Europeans "discovered" North America. They stripped away land from Native Americans, slaughtered whole tribes, and then decided to try to teach what the Bible says after they oppressed them.

  • I'm sorry if I've gotten off topic. Mos def did a really good job on this song.

  • @bigkev9539 where did you find your findings! I am a muslim. not at all offended but I am interested in where your claims come from. some form of sources?

  • Beautiful start to the song: "Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim" (In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate).

  • Islam 4 Eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @elimason242<<<<--------------­-<<<< That is all good just don't be brainwashed 4 eva...

  • @MrREAPER2014 Hater to Islam good for you dude!!!!!!!

  • @elimason242 Nope just pointing out all the FACTS, even after I sent him this he still calls me a hater....looks like we can see who the hater is...God bless these Muslims for peace and who have the balls to stand up to extremist's out in the open and not hide in their houst throwing a party on 9/11 those are the only haters, again see barenakedislam and look at my playlist's and this...

    You might want to try something like this some day

    ?v=TZuEe-Y_eoQ

    Peace buddy

  • @MrREAPER2014 @MrREAPER2014 hehe. I agree, the Prophet did have slaves. They all had slaves. did we invent it though? nooooo, that's a load of crap. listen to the guy, he says that slavery has been around forEVER. Islam did have slaves, but we didn't treat them like the slaves the whites of north america did. The Prophet (PBUH) said that you can have slaves, but so long as you feed them the same amount you eat, clothe them with the clothes you wear, and treat them never with arrogance

  • @ybidiotic I like to get different views from everyone and it helps paint the real picture of the world. Have you seen this, I will say I DO NOT know if everything in these videos is 10% correct but watch and listen to the details in theses videos. I beg you to watch and listen to them all the way through. I know Arabs started the slave trade and we're the first to make slaves out of people.

    ?v=Su9eKoCAjBU&feature=channel­_video_title

    ?v=xGhZWnMxJkI&feature=channel­_video_title

  • @ybidiotic They explain how slave days we're ended by white men in the Civil War, Arabs often killed the children of the slaves and much more things in the video. Less than 5% came to the US and are now free and one is the president of (what was the best nation on Earth). Free, we ended what Arabs started, they captured, kiled used and sold slaves. It was like going to the store for bread to them. Was it wrong what happened and some white people bought some slaves and the KKK was wrong but watch

  • @ybidiotic

    I'm sorry. But as a free human, I must warn you: slavery is wrong on every level. And you should not say PBUH unless you know what it means. The Prophet Mohammed encouraged the emancipation of slaves, even if that means first 'purchasing' them.

  • @ybidiotic this is very true , im muslim afro american an red black an green 4life . an i knw this to bee thrue that the holy prophet p.b.u.o.h. in his time has said if one has a slave he must treat him or her equal or the like of which he would treat himself. slavery of this kind an era is reffered to as part of the sub saharan slave trade. our ancestors fell victims by of the Atlantic slave trade

  • @MrREAPER2014 There's so much more to the topic of slavery and the prophet's slaves and teachings. He bought slaves just so he could free them! I've read enough stories and hadiths. Just because the muslims didn't follow his teachings, it doesn't make the religion bad. Arabs were flippin barbaric people. The reason why Islam came down to us was to show the world that it could tame even the most barbaric of humans... But I'm damn proud to be a Syrian Muslim.

  • @ybidiotic My government today is just as bad as the child beheading extremist's man, peace!

  • @MrREAPER2014 And thank you for actually listening and not being arrogant. I'm not lying, I really do appreciate it. Most others would just say "yaaaa fuck you terrorist" or some garbage. And don't worry, I don't know of any Muslims who actually celebrate on 9/11, including myself. Honestly I still remember sitting in my 3rd grade class watching it on tv. I don't see why anyone would be happy about people dying... but i can't sympathize as much. my people are dying at a much faster rate everyday

  • @MrREAPER2014 last note... there's a lot more truth in Islam than you'd think. Of course what we receive as good might have something that's bad in our eyes. But remember that what God gives to us is the best in His view. What other credible source do you need? Over time humans evolve. But for better or for worse? Generally speaking... better, but only living in this life. We're not here for this life, we're here as a determination of where we're gonna end up in the next.

  • @MrREAPER2014 Play em right, you got one shot at this whole Life thing... Hopefully I'll see you up there, if we make it together.

  • wtf are people talking about allah for get the fuck out of here terrorist.... AMERICA!!!

  • @KronicDaily You're the type of person to go to hell...

  • @KronicDaily you are what's wrong with the world

  • I personally could care less what his religion is, he's an awesome rapper!

  • Mos Def is Muslim for those who dont know!! One of the truest most real rappers we have left!! God Bless Him!!!!!!!

  • Wow...this right here some real stuff man.. really this is a cool poetic meaningful song and it got me thinking about alot of things. I most definitely respect this man.

  • @Kalydahskope

    Speaking the truth.

  • oh fuck not this religion shit all over again... stfu and listen

  • ...And i dont know if its just me.. but i can feel Afrika in this song... the music is just bringing me back to the homeland!

  • @iluvmesomemuzik makes sense this song samples the Fela Kuti song "Fear Not For Man." won't get much more African than that! both great songs!

  • @dojothecat heyyy u are right i did not know.. thanks!

  • @iluvmesomemuzik no doubt!

  • Guys for me Mos def is the male version of laurin hill... i luv them both

  • Real shit, Def one of the dopest niggas around.

    Can't even call him a rapper really, especially when you hear shit like "Roses" or "Pistola" off Ecstatic, you see this niggas shit is just on a whole different plane, dude an artist if anything.

    Mos Def'll never be main stream because you gotta listen to dig it, this shit not for dumb niggas.

    Search Eddie Pesos "Greatness" Puerto Rock kid from PA, I guarantee y'all wont be dissapointed.

  • I am an atheist and I absolutely love Mos Def

  • Islam is the true religion for African/Black People !!

  • I do not know why people are arguing Over Religion...This Very government Created Religion to spread their lies and to make the truth Hard to find. It's Either you Believe in The Heavenly Father Yah and Trust that his son Died For Israel or you Just Don't Simple. But Anyways I love Mos def, Speak it My brother, I know you will probably Never see My comment, But keep doing your thing My brother, Wish you Were an awakened Brew, You would be even better.

  • WAKE UP and stop arguing over religion! 

  • So you're a christian?

    Fair enough. And you don't think people should slander religions because there are only minority groups that cause evil, therefore don't represent the entire ideology of that religion? I don't agree with that-

    People are the cause of 'evil'. People hide, and are allowed to hide, behind their religion and call it a just cause. Every single, day...

    Religion, if you'd do a little research started out on the basis of controlling the people. That in itself is evil. Do me a favo

  • Mos Def - Beauty in the Dark (Music video by SOSA REAL)

Love the people, love the music, love the world, peace forever in our minds and in our souls and in our bodies, faith in God, trust his words, love his creation, fight the demons, we can overcome, save the music ya'll, amen.

  • @ReitersOfTheStorm : Just wondering in reality what is his word? Not being ignorant to propaganda text in the name of GOD..?

  • Religion, Giving people hope in a world torn apart by religion!

  • hy I'm not religious I mean not believe in any god I'm an atheist and I make mistakes like everyone but the difference is that I make when I have no moral crutch to lean on ... the burden is not heavy, just the same diflSculty that every human being has!. this is not to influence anyone, but one thing is certain we're all in the same boat together

  • @Jmp153 that's complete bs, who told you that

  • @Jmp153 get ur facts right

  • @Jmp153

    You are talking about extremists...Mos Def and most Muslims are not Extremists. Just like all Christians aren't evangelist. Extremists thought of black people as a lesser form of the Muslim faith. Also, there are a lot of black Muslims who did not convert (born into that religion)

  • @Jmp153 You said that (1) 'most muslims are regular decent people' [sic], but before that you said (2) 'they believe that the 9/11 hijackers went to paradise and received 72 or whatever virgins'. Who do you mean by 'they', is it the majority of Muslims who are 'regular decent people' according to your statement? If (2) was determined by your perception, then do you trust your perception of things? If not then why don't you now begin to challenge it and look at Islam without pre-conceived ideas?

  • @SolidState92 You, good sir, are skilled at the art of ripping apart what people say and posses the talent to construct a valid and potent argument. You and, I hope, I are of a rare breed that inhabits this earth. Just saying.

  • @crunkaholic81 wow, your nicks is crunkaholic but you actually know what's writtin in the bible lol :D one love

  • @SpiTeZz dam rite homie keep jammin

  • @crunkaholic81 Abraham was evil because he followed a voice in his head telling him to murder his son, if it happened today what do you think we would say about him?

  • @Sheri159 If religions are the truth, it doesn't matter what humans think about you.

  • @Sheri159 if it happened today i would keep living my life and ignore things i hear on the news channels about family murder

  • @crunkaholic81 talking about religion is what god would want us to do, he gave all of us a voice in this evil world we corrupted. Were tryin to find answeres to uncomfortable war and hate. Answers are the product of a question or found in truth.dont tell people what to do just try to help thats all.and i know this is the most hipocritical thing ever but whatever........ i guess im just looking for answers myself.

  • @DJEZDick420 i understand your view point . i hope you find answers in your own life and enjoy yourself before our crazy world may end. I also hope you find peace.

  • @crunkaholic81 the anti troll movemant :)

  • @crunkaholic81 the anti troll movement :)

  • @crunkaholic81 what are you talk about. Man created religion... All of evil things in religion are a reflection of the sins and exploitations of man not God.

  • @crunkaholic81 Well said, my brother. Allahu Akbar. May God follow you where you go.

  • @crunkaholic81

    respect my christian brother

  • @crunkaholic81 You clearly don't know much about Abraham or his beliefs.

  • You say Justin Bieber-I say Tupac

    You say Lil Wayne-I say Biggie Smalls

    You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face

    92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos

  • @Esentricz  hell yeah ;]

  • @Esentricz Well said brotha!!! Add me as a friend.

  • Religion is mostly holding us back, thing about islam is it isn't a bunch of bullshit stories like the bible "then he built a big ass boat and all animals were welcome".

    its more guide lines on how to live your life, and it's good guide lines. Problem with religion is the stupid scared people who uses it for there own evil personal gouls, Taliban etc. Thats why the world would be a better place without religion. And if you want to belive in something, then do, why must it have a name though?...

  • I was high as hell the first time I heard this, I played it almost 10-12 times that day. Still hits real hard.

    Mighty Mos is an apostle to hiphop, if not messiah...

    If not for humanity, for sure hiphop

  • Check the original (Fela Kuti) This beat was lifted from him....still, good tune

  • 1) Hold your breath.

    2) Copy all of these steps.

    3) Go to two other video.

    4) Paste it in the comments.

    If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoke

  • @SoalaJohn54

    If u can't u already smoked so much ur lungz are fucked up :)

  • Everyone its a song. Go bring your religious talks to a religious site. doesn't matter what you think it isn't the same as everyone else.

  • @packers4life

    Wish more people felt that way when it came to religion.

  • mos def = real.

  • sick beat love how this changes to the track hip hop so sick

  • My Earz N My Soul Love Mos Def.....(L).....

  • We need to be MOSt DEFinitely NOT AFRAID of the Illuminati, Fuck them, they can't take our souls, all they can do is try to put fear into us and kill us.. but they cant do shit!!! stand up against the them, they can't do SHIT!!!! If GOD is on our side, who can be against us?? Be Fearless!!!!

  • @EluzionzZ IF the illuminati exist, the population is no good to them dead, we are also no good to them being in fear, IF they exist, they need to brainwash the public so we believe what they do when they do it is right.

  • @EluzionzZ What they can do? They make us sick and sterile by the food, the government sends to the supermarkets. coke = chemical waste & there are more examples

  • @EluzionzZ

    be fearless. Show us your channel..

  • @EluzionzZ lol take it easy

  • @EluzionzZ Why do everyone hate the Illuminati? No one gets the fuckin idea, what they're about or stand for. Shut up and educate yourself fool

  • @ZeegTheZeeg

    The worship the devil and want an eternal hell on earth with immortally and infant sin. Sounds like you need to research and educate yourself.

  • @greymatters83 That is not what they're about at all. Again educate yourself.

  • The black Moses lol

  • What I want to say with that: I may be judged at the end of my life for what i've done. So i try and will try my best to be fair, honest and peaceful for the rest of my life. BUT i will not do it only because i may be judged by God but also because we all can live in a better world if we try do so. Peace for our children, unity for our people and involvement in our acts.

    "We gonna get it together right? I believe that"

    Thanks to Mos & Hip Hop for creating such emotions !

  • Please stop talking about this false rappers: we all know who have a message and sense or not. They're just trying to make some money thanks to the autotune...

    Trying to discuss the matter and concerning religion (i'm agnostic), I see God as a multiple face person that we all represent in our living. Don't know if it has been defined or not by any religion, i haven't read the Bible or the Quran but i've always been feeling it like this. You should watch The Thin Red Line directed by Malik.

  • who is to judge... fear only allah

  • @okpetey why fear god?

  • FELA KUTI SONGS ....

  • Im 15 years and i hate all those bitch ass fake niggas.. wel i liked tha carter 2 but that's the only thing.. I hate gucci mane, yo gotti, lil wayne, new 50 cent new eminem its all junk..But i do listen to ; army of the pharao's, mos def, ice cube and all those kinda rappers.

  • This reminds me of the scripture Matthew 10:28 "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." I like this song. Jesus is Love.

  • 7 people fear man

  • dope reinterpretation of Fela's track...

    suprisingly I heard this song before I heard Fela's and I'm Nigerian American...

  • If any of you are interested in Poetry,Speeches,and positive creative movement videos.Swing pass my channel and subscribe if you like to speak your mind!

  • matter over mind not  mind over matter

  • @adsgjndfgj No its definitely mind over matter.

  • @Sinseerly nah materialism over idealism (i'm using the philosophical definitions of these two words not the everyday defs) what im sayin is basically science... i love mos def though not tryin to disrespect

  • oooooo my this is soo good...memories of an old work out cd

  • is mos def a sunni muslim??

  • @hideokuze1

    Yes

  • @MyTeelee

    i dnt think so. i think hes a moor a follower of the morrish science temple

  • @hideokuze1

    What does your thinking have to do with him being Sunni. I don't know him personally but I know people who know him and from everything I've heard he's Sunni. He performed at an event put on by friends a couple months ago. The number "7" isn't something that denotes every person wearing a 7 ring or anything else with a 7 is a Moor. Some Sunni's pay attention to numerology.

  • @MyTeelee

    no he isnt look at the cover of THE estatic and its a giant 7 meaning hes a moor. 

  • REAL LYRICAL GENIUS

  • fear not of men , because men must die.

    Lyrical content 10/10

  • 7 people are DEAF.

  • Allahu Akbar

  • we are hip hop..me, you, everybody!

  • This album is 10 years old but what Mos says at 1:06 couldn't be more true. People putting premium on material things and other nonsense has gone hand-in-hand with the decline of mainstream hip hop.

  • MOS DEF hip hop man !!!!!

  • this is fuckin legit!!

  • I may not believe that a god exists

    But its indisputable that Mos Def is an ill rapper

    it doesnt bother me that the man is muslim

    the only thing that would bother me is if he turned whack

    obviously that aint happening :]

  • hahaha mos fell off right after this album what you talkin?

  • @nemesis700 i havent listen to all of The New Danger yet

    But I heard True Magic and Ecstatic

    how can you say that Ecstatic was a horrible album?

  • it was terrible.
