Mos Def - Habitat

[GoggleMan25]

Even though we may love, this place that's on the map

I said it aint where ya from, it's where ya at

[HulkHooligann]

Man they should take you back to your habitat and have you pick cotton or do some hard ass labour cause you can't rhyme for shit you are so bad god damn I wish i never heard this song it just sucks so much how can people even like this bs?

[escherdrawinghands]

@HulkHooligann hahahahaha

[joeysdawwggg]

@HulkHooligann somenoe obviously doesnt appreciate good music. check out some wayne, maybe that will please you fool.

[trricker]

@HulkHooligann Let's keep the trolls out of this part of youtube please.

[itylerr43]

@HulkHooligann Go listen to your mainstream garbage shit then. You dont know what real lyrics are. pshh get outta here kid.

[FifaSir]

My Habitat is the world!

[dragndestroy]

[theibru]

[prodigyx7]

awhh.. no big daddy kane? de la soul? the fugees (though you got r&b in the mix there)

[MrSoleyn]

my dad would love

[rugedandraw]

Funny how most these dudes who say this or that is the best MC/rapper ever but they never bought an album........u apreciate an artist and u want him to continue his work just buy the fucking album and stfu.Its like these fuckers who say pac and big in they songs but they never knew them and have no clue.

[T2Pacalypse]

The beat is the beatiful artistic cover of a book and the lyrics are the poetic words within.

[krownme17]

mos def is sooooo dope lol man its these dudes named "Good Vocation" that did a song to his beat...and it was the best remake i have ever heard...real talk...check it out yall word up....these dudes are next coming outta chicago

juz type "Good Vocation - Lord Have Mercy"

[1mth3gr1m3]

mos def nigga!



[nastynas373]

im gonna have to agree. Eminem's Infinite, SSLP, and MMLP are classic. his next 2 albums were average, and his new stuff is garbage

[jmarrvin]

@nastynas373 Can you elaborate why his new stuff is bad? I've been "debating" on the Recovery videos and I'm running out of good points. As you can see, this argument has been continuing for a LOOOOONG time. These people can't tell the difference between when they're correct and when they're just humiliating themselves.

[nastynas373]

@jmarrvin its all in my opinion of course. to me, his first 3 albums were raw, innovative, lyrical, & came at a time when he had a hard life so the music he was making was so real (he was addicted to drugs, and hated his ex-wife). he made music because it was his outlet & he loved it. Em's not making music for the same reasons anymore. when he collaborated w/ rihanna, he sounded just like everyone else on the radio, & his lyrics are so much weaker than they were 10 years ago, etc

[nastynas373]

@jmarrvin oh, thought your comment was disagreeing with me lol. but i wouldn't bother, you can't change an idiots mind. The 90's Eminem would beat the shit out of the new Eminem

[jmarrvin]

@nastynas373 Oh come on. You must have SOMETHING I can use.

[nastynas373]

@jmarrvin uh ok. i'll ramble them off. his old shit was produced mostly by himself, dre, or some other talented producers like Bass Brothers/Mel Man. his last (& worst) album was produced by about 15 producers, most of them commercially targeted, therefore the sound of the album isn't even coherent, and the songs dont fit together. also, he used to dress and act like himself, now he dresses like some white abercrombie model. Recovery lyrics were garbage and uninspiring btw. lil wayne, rihanna<<

[jmarrvin]

@nastynas373 Thanks! I didn't think of the production.

Seems like Eminem has become too old to stay any good. He seems to forget what he's talking about in the middle of his songs and ends up wandering off into recounting his sexual exploits. His voice has changed into a high-pitched artificial sputter. He even looks old: his nose and ears have gotten really big, and he's squinting all the time like he can't see shit.

Sorry, I realized that a while ago and have been bursting to say it since.

[CoKane1989]

@nastynas373 All his best shit was produced by the bass brother,,,,The Infinite album, Most the Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs , The 45 King produced Stan thou! While I agree that his old shit was far better than his stuff today he is still a brilliant artist and is making better hip hop than most the shit rappers you hear out there today!

[etk1995]

itunes or actual CDs???

[lawndeer]

You guys apparently don't know who's even in WT and who isn't. And perhaps he didn't want to include the others... because let's face it, they aren't even comparable.

[4r4biq]

We also have to thank Chris Brown for whooping Rihanna's ass....

Chris Brown.... I salute you sir

[etk1995]

Thumbs up if you can't pick a favorite Mos Def song because they are all so good!

[CoolCumber187]

@etk1995 mathematics is easily his best

[Ginga]

@CoolCumber187

Easily? I'm a huge Mos fan and as much as I love "Mathematics", I wouldn't easily take it over a number of other tracks.

[CoolCumber187]

@Ginga well i havent heard every song but mathematics is defo my fav of his its just a sick song from a sick album!

[Ginga]

@CoolCumber187

Agreed.

[queendee919]

@Ginga just go check out his song love and truly listen to his words i think that's one of his best

[Ginga]

@queendee919

I've listened to "Love" numerous times. Good song but not even in the top twenty among my favorite Mos tracks.

[beast28274]

@etk1995 I can Mathematics :P

[DJTryanB]

@etk1995 lol this comment made me rofl for like 15 mins..... But i also just drank some mushrooms........

[15VCfan]

@DJTryanB bro did you read your comment. how da fuck do ya drink mushrooms. you must be high as fuck lol.

[illshadow1]

@15VCfan mushroom tea you boil the mushrooms

[15VCfan]

@illshadow1 oh shi thats crazy

[ThEOlSnAkEHiPs]

@illshadow1 you can boil 'em down and make kind of a tea/soup. Not the nicest way of taking them but at least you don't have to chew that shit before ya swallow.

[Tstew94]

@etk1995 this whole album is dope

[dOdAdEish]

@etk1995 Mathemics is mine should I thumb down your comment because of that? I don't get thumb up whores :)

[vivalasosaTV]

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

[ItalianMobster31098]

Doom, Talib Kweli & Mos Def are the real hip hop!

[crisdigi]

oh manm, i love this track

[Oldschool58HipHop]

don't forget nas , who keep it always real....

[TP33IME]

this one of Mos's realest tracks rite here!

[Humandavid1]

This song makes me think of Space Jam

[guillaumesexprime]

DOPE !

[TEK2yuhDOME]

6 people dickride lil wayne

[PurpleHaze1824]

I dunno how niggas can dislike this shit, Def one of the nicest cats doing it.

I hate when I go on a DOOM, Common, Blu or Monch video and the mo' fucker's got like (especially Blu, check him out if y'all don't already know) 100 000 plays. The more poetic cats stay gettin' over looked for some reason.

Search Eddie Pesos "North of Death" and "Hayley" Puerto Rock kid from Philly droppin' ill joints on the mic.

[hxcthomas]

nobody's mentioned aesop rock or el-p.

[CartoonAccordion]

@hxcthomas Aesop Rock is great :D

[goontoonesproduction]

who in their right mind would disrespect good music and dislike the foundation of Hip - Hop, Mos is lyrically a genius, just listen to his delivery, just speachless.

[BlueseedzMusic]

Check out the Mathematics remix /watch?v=Xu2aNzXBSMU

[motitamegs]

Why are you guys going on with some ridiculous dribble about who the greatest rapper is and getting annoyed about the responses? There is no wrong or right, everyone has personal taste and it's never going to be exactly the same as the next mans. Deal with it.

Just shut up, sit back and enjoy some quality hip-hop.

[eddymacable]

@motitamegs lol how can you say that quality is an opinion and that there is no right or wrong and then turn around and say that this is quality

[motitamegs]

@eddymacable you're obviously here because you agree with it being good - all i'm sayin is there is no point having arguments about your favourite rappers, just enjoy the track.

[CopperPiiipe]

M MO MOS MOS D MOS DE MOS DEF MOS DE MOS D MOS MO M

[FuckinMadafucka]

6 people aint got no home

[bondsmoka]

That's that Skyscraper Lampin' Soul Sound right here!

[Godofwar555]

Cats like Mos Def, Pac, Dre, De La Soul, and Immortal Technique still exist. Lil Wayne and that yung money crew isn't true rap. Don't get me wrong, all music has it's purpose but Metaphors and Similies aren't what rap is bout. this shit is real. There's still some true rap cats out there who do it from the heart and intellectual mind. Long live true rap!

[EtherealWeapon]

@Godofwar555 Hence the difference between homo gangster rap and chillin hip hop.

[Ali3343]

this song took me a little bit to get used to but its a great song

[heyheyyesyes]

when people think they know hiphop they need to listen to different eras, to understand the impact you have to understand the polarities of the people, some for service to self, some for service to others, the latter are where hiphops real strength lies, but the service to self rappers have made the most money and hedonistic punks that follow their ways

[sfknns]

@heyheyyesyes LOL sorry man I can't get with this current era of hip hop where cats like soulja boy, g-unit, & wacka flacka flame reigns!

[leeperryismerry]

having a list is gay...

If you like people wat's the point in putting it in order?

IMO Big L had tunes that were untouchable

Biggie had tunes that were untouchable

see where I'm going?

[ericorenge]

mos definately my Number 1

[TheHazyGungan]

Mos Def speaks from the heart and soul.

Not from his wallet or his bank account.

He is changing the rap game, for me at least.

[EazZiB]

haha why do people all ways forget about Ace???

@espChris93 Green and Yellow, Green and Yellow! Fuck the steelers

[espChris93]

@Woobsterbamf Who the fuck cares about a football team?

[cycotmc13]

@espChris93 agreed !!!

[allkoolaid]

black on both sides came out when i was about 4 its just to bad that i wasnt old enough to find good rappers like this

[IncorporatedCameron]

Honestly i don't care about who you think is better than who, just recognize that this dude got some talent and experience in living above what most of these other so called rappers claim to have, the reason these other guys exist is because of amazing rappers like Mos Def.

[VinnyLT9000]

souljaboy betta fuck is this jazzy shit?

[johno810]

What does Mos say at 1:00? I tried reading the lyrics but it says speaking foreign language.

[TopShotta10904]

@johno810 born wit none/all that's left is wantin more/while them cats thats less priviledge is just more raw/

not a foreign language, just a hint of patois/west indian accent. BK got mad west indian ppl: trinis, guyanese, jamaican, haitian, etc....

[rethodmen]

This is what i'm talking about. yessss

[rethodmen]

I love this music. Thugs up

[Nishua]

Only 100,000 view this world disgusts me. I gotta admit though I'm not shocked. Only intelligent would be listening to something like this.

[kingtoby3]

@Nishua "Only intelligent would be listening to something like this"?, why are you listening to this then?

[do0rkn0b]

@kingtoby3 because you've never made a typo, sir faggotcake.

[meamverysmart]

@kingtoby3 Why do you feel that he's not intelligent?

[goonerlucas92]

@Nishua funny how you missed out a word after calling yourself intelligent lol

[Qibano]

@goonerlucas92 Being intelligent doesn't mean that he can't make a mistake

[Shmoobaybay29]

[Givarius]

@MegaSammich Sharp man, very sharp :)

[swiftnesscents86ish]

@souflondon1 man no best rapper list can be missing jayz and andre 3000

[bullar97]

@swiftnesscents86ish jay-z omg..

[swiftnesscents86ish]

@bullar97 the only people who dont like jayz are people to ignorant to understand his punchlines and double entendres....lupe suffers from the same type hate

[CheGuevaraNY]

@swiftnesscents86ish jay z cant be compared to lupe his a legend, cause lupe in my opinion is overrated jay in his prime was one of the best a live, reasonable doubt in its own is lyrical beast

[fahadutch]

[Collinmrandomnumbers]

@fahadutch What's the point of individually naming the Wu-Tang Clan when you could just say, "Wu-Tang"?

[fmcneillii]

@Collinmrandomnumbers DOOM was mentioned too,lol

[fmcneillii]

@Collinmrandomnumbers and mos def as well, and he didnt mention rza

[MegaSammich]

@Collinmrandomnumbers

[RoyalTrucksx25]

@Jacobo521 i dont think you really no rap then

[mizakzee]

@souflondon1 how bout adding wordsworth, juice, supernat, and early eminem

[Crazytaru1]

@mizakzee wordsworth voice is annoying, Juice get no exposure, supernat is only fun to listen to in freestyles, Early Eminem....yeah tru tru.

But damn this song 10 years old, still sounds fresh

[mizakzee]

@Crazytaru1 wow a person who i can disagree with on the internet and still respect, somebody call Guinness

[Drpedroalbizucampos]

@souflondon1 yea i agree

[johnny4prez]

@souflondon1 talib kweli too!

[itsmeekg]

@souflondon1 Guru son!

[ThatYoungMurray]

@souflondon1 mos def doesn't really fit in with them though, tupac etc. are gangster rappers, mos def has meaning!

[Desperados98]

@souflondon1 i agree but how can u forget Eminem??? and Biggie sucks. Pac, Em & Nas r the best

[kiddanpunjabi]

@Desperados98 Are u fckn stupiid?? Ur gonna put eminem in tha list? BACK IN THE DAY eminem was gudd but styll not enuff to call him tha best all time. And then u say BIGGIE SUCKS?????????? Do u kno how much biggie has contributed to the rap scene? He fckn spit rhymezz till he died while Eminems countin his "young money" alreadyy. Hav u heard eminem today wit these new songz.... no love, love the way you lie, not afraid? He's caught in the mainstream hustle!! BIGGIE FOREVAA

[Desperados98]

@kiddanpunjabi

listen i know Eminem fucked up; hes songs were fuckin better in the past but he still has the craziest flow ever, hes the best and ever will be, i dont get why ppl like biggie so much, he made just 2albums and has no talent i mean he used to rap slow, hes voice was not that good... i like just 3or4songs of him. 2Pac was like 10.000000times better than biggie, thats my opinion

[butchalini]

@Desperados98 How Young ARE you? Biggie was lyrical, Pac was Emotional, both ARE legends.

[pockbrook]

@butchalini true

[pockbrook]

@Desperados98 you sound like my little sis who just skims though music. everything your saying is opinion em's amazing but truely not the best. you need a hip hop history class

[Desperados98]

@pockbrook lol dont worry for me, I know whats good ( Em, Tupac, Nas, Mobb Deep, Rakim, Mos Def, Wu Tang...) and what sucks ( lil wayne, drake, akon...) all these pussies.. im just sayin that Biggie made just a few fucking good songs to me ( like Ready 2 die and Everyday Struggle which r amazing) I just dont get why ppl like him so much thats all. when i said he had no talent it was exaggerated i know

[pockbrook]

@Desperados98 i hope so they are all good but i can tell you really never listen cause i felt he was overrated until listen all his music. he's a amazing storyteller and em's last cd was commercial as shit he gets on the suspect list with 50

[Desperados98]

@pockbrook lol im now listening to Biggie all the time; i was wrong hes amazing he has a crazy fucking flow but Tupac remains the best! yes recovery sucks its too much comercial and overrated; but Eminem remains one of the best with all the sick songs & freestyles he made ; Eminem, Pac & Biggie 4EVER

[tdotK1D]

@Desperados98 your so sad, a day ago you were talking about pac being wayy better than Biggie,cussing and shit, talking shit about Biggie, and now you just kissed somebodys ass on YouTube,

"lol im now listenign to Biggie all the time; I was wrong" blah blah blah,

weak ass motherfucker.

[Desperados98]

@tdotK1D haha im kissing nobodys ass; im sticking my dick in ur moms ass motherfucker; im just saying hes good finally 

[pockbrook]

@Desperados98 yea em's the ish but there is no best their all great and bring different experiences and styles

[Sp0ilTheFun]

@Desperados98 Biggie was good because he had a flow that could paint a picture in your mind if you actually listened to his music. That is why his music is so great, pac and biggie are in the same tier of rap.

[Merkairy]

@Sp0ilTheFun stfu books paint pictures in your mind, any smell/sight/sound can result in a mental image if one uses their "imagE-ination"..like ur probably imagining a fat asshole wen u read this, and for the sake of spreading knowledge ill let ur imagination slide on tht one

[Sp0ilTheFun]

@Merkairy Calm your tits.

Music equates to sound and the lyrics within the music are like words on a book.

[Merkairy]

@Sp0ilTheFun so we r on the same pg, swag

[Merkairy]

@Sp0ilTheFun and dont worry, my tits are calm... and hard

[anim0cabr0n]

I would replace nas with Jay anyday... and Biggie with Snoop. Cuz im WC doggy
