Nujabes - Counting Universes feat. Mos Def (Mash-Up)

[fifthletteris]

This does not work.

[justTOASTjr]

eh not my cup of tea. the just doesn't in sync with the music.

[LupeTheCool1986]

damn he should have worked with Mos for real, it would´ve been a great combi. His Cool Jazz influenced HipHop is just incredible.

[puzzle247365]

george benson loop like shit...nice though...

[LowestofheDead]

Did anyone else see the Triforce and Oblivion subliminal message at 0:00 ?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@LowestofheDead Correction: Triforce & Wu-Tang symbol. And it's hardly subliminal, it's my 'logo' :)

[MegaLlamaRider]

@ArbyWanKenobi Thats most badass logo ive ever seen. xD

R.I.P. Nujabes

[lalli12325]

@ArbyWanKenobi then why is a perfect replica off the eagel on the 1 dollar bill ?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@lalli12325 Haha, it's the Hylian crest frm Zelda XD

[ErlingKlam]

Fuckin nice remix!

[mazebuilder]

where did he get his cap?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@mazebuilder Like I said in the description, as much as I wish that hat existed, it's just my nasty photoshoppin' slills :D

[Chrisnickhill]

No matter the likes or dislikes of the tracks production value !!! Its these producers that are keeping hip hop alive with there arts !! Nothing will change in the industry till we all get back to grass roots and re-create the image of hip hop , these producers will be at the forefront of such a movement !!! If we can be a community again and not the individuals they want us to be!! Love and respect

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Chrisnickhill R.I.PP Nujabes, he helped bring about a movement in Japanese hip-hop.

[Chrisnickhill]

@ArbyWanKenobi He has kept the hip hop movement alive in general, There is not enough that can be done to keep the purity alive with out being washed out by self indulgent ego types!! that hi_jack hip hop for money and wealth!! R.I.P all artist that had true integrity!!! Japan has a beauty that no other country has, intelligence that is wide spread among the majority!!

[whatsgoodnukka]

the way the beat blends with the lyrics is so smooth...

[ZxBLACKOUTx]

Haha show this guy some respect you guys, I know that the instrumental is better, but nevertheless, this is one great mash-up. Love your videos man, subbed. R.I.Beats Nujabes.

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@ZxBLACKOUTx Glad to hear it :)

[trustablerolin]

hey!there is any chance to write down the lyrics into the comment area?

thanks

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@trustablerolin I would, but that seems more fitting for te original video of the song. You can just Google "Mos Def Next Universe Lyrcs" and find them easy enough :)

[BUCANAZ9]

NUJABES EN MEXICO TE AMAREMOS POR SIEMPRE

[CottoFan1]

This is a George Benson sample

[samiam517]

nice beat fam, the original was the best but i like the remake of it :-) RIP

[barttez]

this is good. but i like the song original better

Rest In Beats.

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@barttez I know what you mean, I'm the same way.

[Mho2o8HipHop]

Ain't Good !

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Mho2o8HipHop Well, thanks for the view anyways!

[sandiyy]

nah, still prefer the instumental.- too aggressive

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@sandiyy Fair enough!

[Vinniep317]

nice mix bro

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Vinniep317 Thanks dude :D

[dancecwg1]

/watch?v=ZzQAiauOQRo

enjoy

[mattopkatslLHENGCHAI]

not-------bad



[TheBlackKatana]

genius arbywan. thanks

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@TheBlackKatana No, thank YOU for an actually good YT name!

[DoctorSess]

yo check it... FUCK THE ILLUMINATI... you cats need to realize that they got you tripping out looking for the boogie man, pointing at every triangle and eyeball yelling "illuminatus!" while they continue to kill your kids, fuck your wife, and take your money... I'm not saying to ignore shit, stay up on things, stand up for yourself and for those who cant stand up for themselves, but put that fear in the rearview before it consumes you. Rule yourself.

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Def is too aggressive for the track, but it fits like a glove. PS the sample in the original Nujabes Counting Stars is ''affirmation''-Jose Feliciano, the guys a genius guitarist & amazingly blind

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@TheTvrulesthenation Thanks man, and some interesting info!

[bboykheops44]

@TheTvrulesthenation Thought the original was by George benson and its called affirmation too !!!!?? You must check, i'll do for jose feliciano

[TheTvrulesthenation]

bboykheops44

Hmm maybe Benson did it originally, i don't know him. Jose does a fucking wicked version

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@bboykheops44 Nujabes sampled the Feliciano version.

[wanaa66]

@ArbyWanKenobi probably one of the best remixes I heard. well not sure if you can call it a remix but I guess you know what I mean. :p

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@wanaa66 Glad to her it man, subscribe for more :D

[OpenSourceSolutions]

@TheTvrulesthenation disagree, good message for a good beat

[iwasbornspecial]

not all diamonds or triangles symbolize illuminati. im not expert, the observer always effects the observed

[MrnothingTR]

you fucking stupid shit why you put this pic this shit  is illuminatiiiii

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@MrnothingTR Lol yep, Mos Def=Illuminati.

[Molinamov]

@ArbyWanKenobi How a Mc can be a illuminati?

For the knowledge?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Molinamov I was being sarcastic :D

[HoldingUpTheBar]

the acapella kinda fits, but one or two beats behind.

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@HoldingUpTheBar I know what you mean. Check out some of my newer mixes for better material :)

[Batinhoo]

R.I.P. Nujabes

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Batinhoo Hell yeah.

[DnBPossibly]

@ArbyWanKenobi heaven yeah.

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@DnBPossibly :)

[desertflwrs]

I'm surprised that Nujabes and Mos Def never worked together, it would have been tight

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@desertflwrs Mos has worked with people like DJ Deckstream and DJ Krush, you'd figure they would've hooked up!

[WhatDaDuece]

@ArbyWanKenobi If Jun was still alive today, they probably would've hooked up. Rest easy Jun..

[SW4TR3PP1N]

@ArbyWanKenobi also DJ Honda

[TheBluntmanandKronic]

This shit is deep

[alexisNYK1]

@ArbyWanKenobi DAMNIT!!!! theres like nothing of nujabes i can buy except his music f***

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@alexisNYK1 Haha I know, I've searched far and wide for a shirt or something, I guess it's something you have to make yourself.

[Supafly6000]

GOD DAMN! THIS IS NICE MAN. BUT I KINDA FELT MDEF WAS GOIN A LIL TOO HARD FOR COUNTIN STARS. NA MEAN ?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Supafly6000 I sorta see what you mean, but it seems too energetic for a laid back rhyme like Rakim or Blu.

[Supafly6000]

@ArbyWanKenobi UR RIGHT I WAS SORTA THINKING OF LUPE ? BUT IDK MAN UR THE 1 WITH THE MUSICAL MIND IM JUST THE MELLOW FELLOW

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@TimmySphincter Thanks for the view even if you don't like it :)

[allstar2bein2023]

This is amazing.

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@allstar2bein2023 Thanks man, drop me a message if you want the HQ mp3 :)

[Lomelgande]

I MUST HAVE THIS SONG!!!! Where can I download it (really don't want to use a youtube converter cause quality = shit)?

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Lomelgande You can either go to my bandcamp page after January 22nd for free downloads of all my mixes, or send me a list of the mixes you want at arbywnakenobi@yahoo.com and I can send you back high quality mp3 files, remastered :)

I'm glad you like it so much :D

[Pasteypecker]

Have you tried NY State of Mind by Nas??? I usually rap that over this beat in the car :P

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@Pasteypecker I had! But I couldn't find the acapella :(

In the end, I think this fits a bit better, what with Mos Def referencing universes, eons, ignition propulsion and what not.

[RemyChef]

Hey ArbyWanKenobi :P I just made a Mos Def + Nujabes mashup the other day, and I noticed yours! Just letting you know I think yours is dope, keep it up ;=)

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@RemyChef Thanks, I'll check yours out!

[princep]

Hot!

[ArbyWanKenobi]

@princep Thanks! Leave a comment on my wall for any Nujabes/Daedelus suggestions.
