Slum Village - Tainted (Official Video)

[wilzusuki]

BACK THEM WHEN HIP HOP WAS STILL ALIVE.

[MatnBE]

this song makes sence, "rappers" today traded their heart, integrity and soul in for cash "respect" and fame... i say fuck you to them, old school is where the real shit's at...

[RedzTV]

Love is always free

[011mtaylor]

dilla actually didn't produce this if my memory serves me

[WhenYouHigh]

my ears are in a long term relationship with this song

[SwhatleyD725]

If I was'nt into Dwele, I would have never heard this song ..Ilove it!!!

[Jiguhbiduh]

I literally had to get out of my bed to dance to this

[Shepardsounds]

its Karriem Riggins' beat

[vladybutt]

whos that first girl in the video..she fine

[seropbaba]

T3

[marcusv101]

this album is F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C. I can't stop to hear it

[SwhatleyD725]

I'am an OLD HEAD , and this is new to me : However I LOVE THIS!!!

[wmc0354]

@SwhatleyD725 this shit is from the early 2000's....

[filmfreak433]

DILLA alway knew how to throw down an original beat.

[naikou4lyfe]

@filmfreak433 This is not Dilla beat but it's def 100% Dilla style

[msladybugmecca]

dwele looks so cute

[HipHopPeace24]

i loved this album!! i got it the first day it came out in 02! and Dwele sing this perfectly for this song!!! and i love that my favorite artist,Justin Bua did all the drawings for this video and you see some of his paintings in the background! love everything about this video!

[LooneyChick44631]

Damn... Their music is so powerful.

[MoodMuzikFilez]

dude bellow me doesn't know what he's talking about.. Elzhi is one of the most versatile artists there is.. he can make any song and sound good... there's a reason why J Dilla picked Elzhi to take his place

[azjass10]

I dont think Elzhi really suited SV. As talented as he is, I don't think his style sits as a group dynamic..

[ProtaJ]

Who remember this getting MAD LOVE on BET's 106 n Park??? This was that shit...

[hotoodef747]

50 Cent stole his 21 questions concept from Slum village and Elzhi's verse! Rat!

[kateikyohitmanreborn]

R.I.P to the "Pimp in the Pink Suit" at 3:07 John Gipson. 2/5/12

[MrSingledad32]

Dwele and Slum Village...Dwele came a long way!!!! much love to SV,J DILLA, DWELE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST LITTLE BROTHER!!! RIP BAATIN AND JAY DEE AKA J DILLA

[Gen2pAc]

Pure Brilliance. Rest in Beats to the Big Homie JDILLA aka JAYDEE. Nufffrespect to Slum Village, the realest thing Mtv ever aired, #word.

[kinstube]

GOTTA LOVE 

[s1lasf0ster]

I think the city in the background is by Justin Bua. Almost positive. He does a lot of paintings that revolve around old school hip hop and jazz culture

[BILLDRUM81]

This joint was one of the Dopest of all time handsdown

[daleva187goligo]

i support real hip hop to tha fullest ima underground emcee and i am anti-pop radio garbage i luv slum village and rip to baatin and dilla..... but i cant help but notice the two hand gestures and symbols at 3:37 and 3:48 ... were they mocking it? or being for real?

[daleva187goligo]

[daleva187goligo]

@Greatmurderer nah fam it was 2002, i was 15 at tha time

[Greatmurderer]

@daleva187goligo yeah that sounds legitimate, I just remember this time.

[011cosby]

[spantgar]

R.I.P Baatin & Dilla :(

[spizthatnigAA]

@spantgar no disrespect to anyone but *RIP Baatin, Dilla, & T3..real Slum fans (i guess that may just consist of people from Michigan) realize that all 3 of Slum Village's original members have passed..Elzhi, replaced Dilla after he went solo..Dilla, Baatin, and T3 were the original members..this goes back to Fantastic vol 1,2 j-88..pretty much everything up until this song..just a little lesson for you all..although i enjoy these songs, if you want real slum listen to the aforementioned albums

[spantgar]

@spizthatnigAA

wait... i didnt ask for your critics, i just showed my respect to Dilla and Baatin..

[kihro]

@spizthatnigAA i love the slum in all of there stages and transitions.

[smashvillenashville]

J Dilla

Rest in beats.

[mctikogo]

Nice Family Yeah

[mctikogo]

[alexandrialewis213]

Does anyone know how Baatin of Slum Village died? And what about the other guy who died?

[jose4891]

@alexandrialewis213 The other guy is Jay Dee aka J Dilla aka the greatest beat maker in hip hop history... he had lupus, a non-cureable blood disease

[makhenzo]

integrity, heart and soul

[whosdatgirl1]

Seriously, if you have found real LOVE, cut the bullshit and just be happy - if you taint it, you may never find such a special love again, xxxxxxxxxxx

[SickWithThis]

who's the girl that was giggin????

[colaffee29]

@SickWithThis Which girl are you talking about? If you're talking about the girl with the dreads at the very end I'd like to know too.

[SickWithThis]

@colaffee29 the girl that was dancing

[colaffee29]

@SickWithThis Oh. I don't know. She looks like some random Japanese b-girl.

[SickWithThis]

@colaffee29 haha yeah... regardless she was cuttin it up. wish they would of showed more of her

[queenteej89]

so true tainted people everywhere

[phllpstrong02]

This song made me a Dwele fan.

[FRESHCOOLAIDE]

Stay away from that tainted love ya'll!!!

[phllpstrong02]

This song made me a Dwele fan

[TerrenceA1]

Is this a real city?? =-)

[entrotheemcee]

Yeah mostly true. There are true artist that have sacrificed for the good of hip hop but the penalty for staying true to her has always been poverty. Your statement is probably about 90% true for the average mc today but to make a blanket statement like this about the real emcees is turning a blind eye to their sacrifice.

[TerrenceA1]

That keyboard is so mesmerizing

[TerrenceA1]

Something about the key board is sooo mesmerizing...=-) 

[TerrenceA1]

This is RAW hip hop..

[vwnclubb]

older hip hop heads always be talkin that keepin it real stuff, but the truth is money rules the world and everybody has their price where they will (if the price is right) sell they soul, integrity, anything to get the wealth. in this world the cold truth is the right amount of money always talks and b.s...well, you the rest. but you know...even after saying all of that, what does it trumpet a man to gain the world and loose his soul?

[IceManLikeGervin]

This track is on the cognitive chilly most hiphop tip!

[Sinamatics]

lol i cant believe i had to get hammered to remember this shit

[zedeckomnipotent]

This video and song represents the entertainment industry as a whole...

[MrVocalist101]

hooooollyyyyy shhhhiiiit, cant believe i forgot about this man, i was 14 and life was good, music was still music and you could pretty much respect and feel every artist......my fuckin word how the times have changed!!!!!!!!!

[leonce15]

i cant beleive i even seen this on Uk music channels wen i look back, shows u how fucked up the music scene has got!

[followJL]
