[IAMEYI]

When I listen to this song I can't help but to utter the question... What is the color of night?

[atreya84]

@IAMEYI Midnight blue. <3

[rassadhu]

Yasiin...

[splurrrt]

@tomthumb260 Real ting

[Beanheadification]

can anyone else see someone smoking a joint in the clouds in the picture

[j1muzic]

no one commented on that picture? it looks kinda like an island in the sky and the big cloud to the right is like stairs that you climb to reach it.... idk, maybe its the weed talkin

[Teka1979]

In the great words of Bill Withers "The best thing for a man who makes furniture is to have a sign on his store that says sold out" I think that the people that are complaining that Mos sold out because he did a car commercial have to understand that he has to keep his lights on too....Why do you work? If you think about it the artist has the right to illicit monetary support for his self so he can continue to create his art ...SMDH some people just don't get it !

[ZkourenejPes]

Can someone in this world say that this is bad song?

[Marajewhuanaa101]

If people had more appreciation for this music the planet would be a better place to live.

[enealDC]

@sekamenacerecords - whats wrong with him in GM cars commercials? It's called marketing for a reason. Shame on the person who buys something just because so and so has it. If it's a product I want, I don't care if Betty White in skinny jeans was used to market it. Imma buy it because i want/need it.

[StreamOfConscious]

So incredibly beautiful. Soul music.

[zonetheory]

torc, thanks for holding on to this one!

[belleau68]

word! i love this song!!! i love how mos def can actually sing n put it all together , with a sort of rymin format!

[AudioInklined]

(one)landmark album.

[lflybitxh09l]

yo ppl, go listen to the original inspiration. diana ross - do you know.....mos def is amazing for giving new life to this classic. usually i love the originals better than the remakes but this song is simply too beautiful.

[jtbone420]

@lflybitxh09l what's the original version called? I really wanna hear it

[TreGuevara]

@jtbone420 There is no original. The song however was obviously by the song "Do you know" by Diana Ross. I am sure you've heard it before and just never made the connection.

[zonetheory]

The Mos perfect example ever of momentum in a song

[wcwashington]

was always one of my favorite tracks

[sekamenacerecords]

Too bad he's endorsing GM's new vehicles in advertisements admittedly developed to market SUV's specifically to the African American community.

If that's not selling out, I don't know what is.

[Ginga]

The more I listened to "Black on Both Sides", the more I learned to appreciate this song.

[Famn180]

Night-time is when the things get heavy, You feel alone and you want somebody, damnn that line touched the tippity tip of of my heart

[dezmundo1251]

love the way there is an ad for michael buble tickets at the bottom of this vid when I view it. Music couldn't come from two more different emotional places.

[greezyp08]

Damn!! this joint gives me goosebumps.LOL!!! this song is soulful. LOVE IT!!!!

[queenray1]

I used to play this song on repeat, Who stold my Cd?

[Tigregalis]

...

People climbed into the night like space suits,

People stomped inside the night,

stomping and stomping and stomping and stomping and stomping,

Where are they going?

What's the rush?

Everybody's embraced but so out of touch..

Hey...

Night-time is when the things get heavy, You feel alone and you want somebody,

Loneliness whispers desperate measures, And you're frantic all by yourself...

[bondsmoka]

I got Comfortably Numb to this joint, Man they don't make songs like this no more.

"Black On Both Sides" is the best work of art Dante has ever made.

[valenecia]

Amazing...I don't even know what else to say...

[treydaybaby]

12,000 views? Damn, thats a shame that people arent listening to music with lyricial value these days...this is pure poetry

[civilizedidiot]

@treydaybaby thought the same thing, blows my mind : wtf

[yaboy0327]

[Vague1801]

[novelistix1691]

"People climbed into the night like cool wells, shiny bottles in their hands drinking there new selves, they say its there true selves..." Thats jus bananas right there. WHO THE FUCK IN THIS GAME CAN COME WIT THAT SHIT! AND NOT EVEN HAVE 2 RAP THAT SHIT...

[REIGN131]
