[mariusxx90]

shadow rullz

[najaselecta]

Shadow is the Best

[bboysmyles]

I was abit dissapointed when i 1st heard the outsider album but only because i fucking love endtroducing and then slowly songs like this started to pull me in, now i realised shadow never ceases to amaze

[cjack828]

@bboysmyles my thoughts exactly.

[supersixty1]

This is probly one of the only good songs on his knewest album, yet it was his worst one yet. NOT his style at all

[eyesea]

@supersixty1 if you much about the CIA you'd know their "jurisdiction" is wherever they put an operator. CIA drug trafficking ops are well known in the US

[rxshea]

not for nothing but cia doesn't have any jurisdiction inside the us. it's the fbi that works within the country. otherwise, great track.

[darla1970]

awesome!

[MrHighaustin]

revolutionary

[7M6T0]

why is david banner takin off his shoes?

[MrKarmajo]

This shit slaps so so hard.

[bloodshedhero]

one of the illest rap songs out there.

[yo19blabla]

HEY CHILL OUT IT'S JUST A SONG

[vastexpanse1]

[vincecarli50]

HUGGGGEEEEE BEEEAAATTTTTT DAVID BANNEERRR HUGGEEEE FLOWW, seriously one of the most underrated songs all timee

[simulacralcyborg]

one of the best tracks of the decade, and the one that all the indy kids and hipsters hated...good stuff.

[fleckx]

the indy kids and hipsters hated this song? fuck em, this song is tops.

[utubeaccount00]

@fleckx indie kids and hipsters are fuckin morons doesnt surprise me at all they wouldnt like this;

but the track is fucking amazing so haters gon' hate

[crunkss]

I don't know why Shadow doesn't produce straight hip hop beats more often, this is fireeee.

I'll never forget when I heard him spin this live for his Outsider release tour

[Meshuggapeth]

This is definitely the stand-out track from The Outsider. I was surprised I didn't find this on any top ten lists because in my opinion it's among the best hip hop songs of the decade. Club-suitable, yet dark, poetic and historically relevant--DJ Shadow's genius is undeniable. And what a show from David Banner too.

[STS9dude]

dj shadow is the man

[DemonWTF]

david banner is tha man*

[Denolc]

damn thats dark! :thumbsup:

[frontosa6]

Real shiii!!!

[Hypokondriak88]

awesome

[JoshuahDigital]

we need to get outta heah

[djmrbrown00]

GODDAMN THIS BEAT IS WEAK

[iHateEmoPeoplesz]

people have different type of "feel" toward these kind of musics.

[hatethispassstuff]

yeah

[drod0886]

Wow I never knew David Banner rapped about real life shit. I thought he was just another hood rapper talking about the same things. He really impressed me.

[stocktown1]

listen to cadillacs on 22's. its not about materialism like you might think. its about real life shit like this song.

[frontosa6]

Word

[Omegashadowyoshi]

The beats/synths in the background are actually amazing and artistic. Most rap music these days is dumb. But this and Senser are good.

[bangNL94]

yes you're right. shadow should make the beats for every rapper around the world, he's the best at it!

[Hellamar]

gr8

[lagtastik7]

I have always been a fan of DJ Shadow since his Entroducing...Album in 96. People who blog negative comments should realize that artists evolve and try new things. Thats why they are artists. If you don't like it then throw your hat in the ring and do it better. Peace!

[Haraldur34]

Troo. word. keep it oldskool. Peace.

[Omegashadowyoshi]

It's not actually new things. He started his career making backgrounds for rappers.

[lagtastik7]

"new things" is a generalized term. I'm aware of his career.

[tzarBHD]

Idk if anyone noticed but david banner's message in this song is about illuminatis.

[Omegashadowyoshi]

I noticed it. I hate the Illuminati, but I am so interested in them =P

Mysterious secret societies.

[NotreDameDuke27]

shadow is amazing

[darkythehedgehog]

I think all you kids just read in to shht wayyyy to much!!! :]

[desti849]

Crack is like cotton it grows up from the streets...

[turnbullroad]

david banner may be considered main stream but if you check out his cds he got some deep stuff on it. i dont listen to mainstream music other than banner because he just makes some pop singles to sell but it really isn't what he wants to do if he could sell by making real songs his whole cd would be full of them but usually he will have a few real raw ass songs on his cds

[Carolinaman09]

Hot song...amazing beat. Mad props to the DJ and David Banner's voice is perfect for this beat.

[guitarphreak179]

david banner is probably not the best to try to be an activist, he's doing just as bad as the things hes talking about in this song. he is just another mainstream rapper gangster glorifying the ghetto and enforcing stereotypes. DJ SHADOW is dope though

[SaZooCaballero]

Why do rappers need to carry the activist flag? Why not DJ shadow? Why not Michael Bubble? Because the only respect a black rapper can get from the overeducated and under-experienced white America is songs like this, and once they (the rapper) do a song like this the overeducated and under-experienced drop shit like "glorifying the ghetto and enforcing stereotypes". The funny thing about "stereotypes" is how often there true.

[SaZooCaballero]

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from the artist is to make him ruin his work - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[guitarphreak179]

"Hip Hop ain't dead, niggas just ain't making no money. And the niggas who ain't makin no money is the ones talkin bout its dead"

-David Banner

hip hop isn't supposed to be revolved around money, no art is. David Banner is trying to appeal to underground fans in this song, but the truth is, when you're just in it for the money, your music is no good.

[SaZooCaballero]

"when you're just in it for the money, your music is no good"

I guess your saying he is? i don't know his work outside of this song, but the song is strong enough by its self, thats more then most song/artist can do.

"underground fans" again not sure what that means. Good music is good music.

I have no problem with artist making money off there craft. Even if its in the Madonna "Material Girl" way.

[scothu]

ur stupid. dont compare a gay ass song from madonna to what they are talking about

[SaZooCaballero]

"ur stupid" hmmm? "your stupid" or "you are stupid". "dont compare a gay ass song from madonna to what they are talking about" both songs are about money and wealth and how society miss uses it. Its call "satire" and because Madonna with smile/"satire" dosent mean any less.

ps ur stupid

[nepenthe1111]

No no... "You're stupid."

If we really want to talk about grammar here...

And misuses, not miss uses.

And up a couple of posts, it's their, not there...

And itself, not its self...

And holy crap, you're missing apostrophes all over the place.

And I'm sure you didn't mean to make this mistake, but you did: It's called, not "its call."

So don't talk about someone's bad grammar when you clearly have horrible grammar yourself.

Now, is this satire or am I just calling you out?

[SaZooCaballero]

how could anyone disagree with this quote. small minds think alike,... i guess

[theshadowboy607]

genius DJ!

[Muzik444]

shadow let us down

[WeeJunglist]

The Outsider is POOP! I can understand dabbling in new areas..But E-40, The Federation, David Banner, Keak Da Sneak? What the fuck happened!

:(

BUTTERYY SLICKNESSS!

[Aladinho1978]

The only redeeming track on the terrible Outsider album - fair play to try new things, but make them at the very least, listenable

[soulshine22]

I really can't agree...

That's similar to what people said when Bob Dylan startd playin Rock ;-)

I like the album, he's experimantating like he always did.

[Planetaryy]

"The hood is like a modern slaveship," lol. As if.

[SaZooCaballero]

so i guess you lived in "the hood". also, i think hes saying "mardi slaveship" "then We packed like sardines and shackled to the streets

And crack is cotton that grows up from the concrete" but your right its listed as "modern slaveship" not sure thats right.

but dude that line,... "the CIA, aka the KKK" WOW! dude!!!

[goodbyeberet]

I liked the line 'pain doesn't ease the wealth' a lot more- inverted the usual line.

[theFmonster]

MAN THIS HOT!!!

[zahiasan]

i love this song ...my favorite!

[wallytherhino2]

amazing

[Imunderthecherrymoon]

Holla!! I's tryin to gets my money.

[SkumOfThePlanet]

Sickest fucking beat ever.

[eric6264846]

dj shadow is fucking pimpin!!!

[NJ29]

easily the best song on the album.

[iChiNgGuErriLLa]

Sick dude...this really shows Shadow's genius in workin the Dirty South. Too bad Banner's MCing isn't always like this. Real talk beats big pimpin' any day.

"I wonderin' if the Feds broke the levee?"

good question....

[HodMaster]

You have to give credit to Davis for doing what he wants to do, not what the critics want him to do. Keep those creative juices flowing.

[roninproductionsuk]

best track on the album by far

[LordOfTheHoes]

perfect beat to dance

[kadkhodaee]

I can't believe that dj shadow made a sang with David Banner, David Banner sucks ´.. and dj shadow rules .. I'm confused

[SPATULADUSTER]

what??????? david banner makes hot beats ,,,,, what you think he is just some ignorant southern booty rapper producer???? listen to what the man says... this is easily my favorite cut off this album. and as far as the comment below???? how many instrumental shadow albums do you need????

[giddeo]

The trouble with the album is that its a DJ Shadow album, DJ Shadow should be the star of the show, as a backing track, as a platform to rap from it's superb its just, you don't listen to it and go, wow, listen to that DJ, thats some clever stuff, because its there to hold a beat not steal the lime light.

Fair play to Shadow for making an album that he wants to hear, but the backlash was inevitable.

[nietzchez]

dj shadow is really the only thing connecting the songs on the album, who else would it be released under?

[prfct1on]

fuckin sickkkk beat.
