Shad - Exile

[CptMeowzors]

I really hope this guy doesn't wreck his beautiful talent if he gets big, because this is what needs to get out there, real rap, this stuff is true poetry. :) gives me hope for my generation

[mistajones06]

THIS IS THE CLOSEST TO THE PERFECT HIP HOP SONG I'VE EVER HEARD.

[moonunitenar]

@mistajones06 Agreed. I only wish there more in it like that one verse in the middle that makes everyone pee themselves.

[TheDrowningFlounder]

favorite song of all time

[dodgeme2990]

Found Shad. Really liked what I heard. Found a favorite track. Can't wait to listen to more=)

[nkelly1432]

No dislikes!

[chasenalitt]

i love shad, but i have a feeling that if more people knew about him people would go of 'rose garden' and judge him on that, instead of listening to his other songs like most main stream artists these days. just a personal view, all love

[raffamafia]

SHAD is the SHIT !

[Suitcase65]

Love this guy.....SOOOOOOOO great. 

[1214gooner]

Today is my first time listening to this guy I've never heard of... I'm speechless....

[its420mon]

there's a reason why there are no dislikes... SHAD IS UNREAL!!!

[mattpatt8989]

below the eloheim is what it seems for all who are starving to those who die from the blind side to the drive bys we will ll hope for eternal peace and prosperity

[funhousehorror]

Shad needs to get recognized more hes too good.

[HeartBreakKid102]

Dang, this guy really gives a hand to Canadian music.

[iTokeDMT]

He should do some shit with Cyne

[XanderBBo]

@iTokeDMT He should also do work with eLZhi & One Be Lo.

[Z4chSh4ck]

@akexilecp Because he wants to be Radio Inactiveee <3

[aKeXiLeCp]

why isnt HE on the radio

[PrezPoet]

@aKeXiLeCp

Too dope for it.

[krissyheartyou]

@aKeXiLeCp the reason why hes not on the radio isnt just because hes too good for it. its because the 'people' who own all the major radio stations want to keep you listening to the same bullshit. to keep you dumb. to keep you feeling the same immature feelings about yourself and other people. they dont want you to think/feel differently about anything. they're trying to get more control, so anything thats 'entertainment' to you... try to think twice about. seek fufillment, not entertainment.

[disgustingfool5]

@krissyheartyou Na, dont blame them. Thats all bullcrap. They play all the crap on the radio cause the percent of the population like that crap more then shit thats real like this. Blame the people.

[jimmybigelow]

yup.. still lots of great underground hip hop....enjoyment to the eardrum

[TommyDragonheart]

Though we empathize with them and sympathize with them,

be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

[thevasseur]

Sweetness to my ears...

[dseer13]

who is he talking about?

[ShottaBoyProduction]

@dseer13 pagans

[iBalllikeiPod]

this is the greatest song ever made.

[ninjadudeismyidol]

instrumental is amazing

[moonunitenar]

he's even better than eminem, lyrically, and without all the angry white boy persona XD Awesome :)

[Cougra139]

@moonunitenar  lol

[CasperTahDopestGhost]

@moonunitenar

there 2 different people, you have to understand everybody raps differantly, shad and eminem are very good lyrically but they have differnet styles, you cant say who is better

[moonunitenar]

@CasperTahDopestGhost I just mean in terms of the way they put their words together. The way the rhymes fit together rhythmically. I used the comparison with Eminem because he's known for being really good with stacking rhymes perfectly. But it is still a bit subjective, so you're right. In terms of lyrical content and style, though, I can't really compare because that's all musical preference.

[ShottaBoyProduction]

@CasperTahDopestGhost Man Shad is clearly better. He;s trying to start a movement. Eminem is music for your ears. SHAD is music for your soul. Which do you place more value on?

[CasperTahDopestGhost]

@ShottaBoyProduction

hes not trying to start a movement, for hip hop was a movement from way back in the day so just because a artist sticks to original hip hop roots doesint mean hes starting a movement

second of all, eminem is older and has been actually BATTLING and competing for real competitions, listen to his shit from soul intent, his flow has way more structure words and syllables per minute

the guy had a girl to feed and some one liked help him blow? shad and em are 2 diff worlds

[GlennPuzzle]

lol I'm gonna promote myself...."The Introduction of Jhosuah." lol first song....tell me whatcha think....thanks guys.

[vampgaze02]

1:01 - 1:19

If you feel like listening to the sickest bit over and over again.

[andrewVeto]

everytime i hear the beat drop and just the beat boxing; it is too sick

[moonunitenar]

He's a fucking master of making his lyrics flow. Most rappers keep one rhyme at the end of each stanza, and in between is just filler. Shad keeps the lyrics witty and clever and is doing rhythmic backflips at the same time!

[flyingporcupine2]

"broke my ties withem now we open eyed in this overhyped system"

this is for all of us. chains of poisonous snakes just breakem

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

Mad dope...

[RangeRover87]

why is there still NO REPEAT button on YOUTUBE?

[MrJobee35]

it's just so ill when he starts rapping over the beat boxer, it confirms my feeling that the best artist are those not on the radio.

[MasterDusk]

A powerful lyricist.

[andrewVeto]

"over come hate with love" - and then he raps over the beat boxer.. too sick

[Dainyell23]

My favorite Canadian Rapper.

[MrStephensmitty]

@Dainyell23 is he really Canadian? :D

[Dainyell23]

@MrStephensmitty yeah, he's from london, Ontario i think.

[aPoetAfterAll]

when i die i wanna be ressurected with this mindstate.

[moonunitenar]

damn this guy's good :)

[shitdontstain]

that first verse gave me an orgasm

[arequipa1]

hottttttttttttttt lol

[BetterThanYuh]

He announced his new album will come out mid 2010.

[PureWaterGuy]

He's a G.O.A.T. and he only has 2 album

[namkooc]

im still waiting for his next album come on man were is it?????

[nemesis700]

May 25th

[namkooc]

thanks bro i cant wait for it finally some dope hip hop music

[kayson6]

good

[luckydevilevil]

Shad is the best rapper EVER in every aspect except quantity. And this is coming from an avid conscious critic of hip hop. This guy needs to be publicized, I'm telling EVERYONE about him, do the same, the music industry can use this man.

[johanneskishore]

That most be the illest beat i ever heard

[johanneskishore]

he´s simply the best rapper in the world right now

[1TheTruthChannel1]

One of the best.

[FameisFuture]

But Shad is sick, and this is probably one of my favorite songs. Can't wait til his next Album.

[vfgjhj]

The guys name should be changed to Shat.

[thelegend759]

excuse me pal?

[vfgjhj]

Shat

[thelegend759]

Punk Bitch. Hehe.

[vfgjhj]

Punk Bitch ahahahahahah!!! ahahaha!!! Fubuwubah!? Fubuwubuwah!?Fulubububbawahbah­wuh!?

[Skitizen]

Not bad.

[vfgjhj]

They should change their band name to "Shat".

[MoosePlural]

fuck you

[vfgjhj]

poor baby

[thelegend759]

You should change your youtube name to "Punk Bitch"

[vfgjhj]

excuse me pal?

[FameisFuture]

dude, it's one guy, not a band.

that's probably why you got a reply to your comment, and thats why people who don't know facts shouldn't comment.

[Guyver38]

Shad has a message and its a good one but just like life looking at the views too few people actually listen

[nemesis700]

hes the best rapper out there....

[klil345]

o my gosh yo sick shad

[KickIt722]

shad doin it dirty.

dang, he know how to GET DOWN

[iMeta4]

Don't succumb to hate.

Overcome hate with love.

[jman2oo2]

illest

[Sammaron]

EVERY song i have heard by Shad is amazing. Every one. He never falters. All the best to shad

[GreezyCris]

this man is the truth!

[nemesis700]

soundtrack to my life

[xxGizamOOraixx]

this the illest beat

[dherman276]

never get heard thats unless your established

(shad is soo sick)

[moonunitenar]

@dherman276 agreed man :) his new album's great too! You got the lyrics a bit wrong though. It's lecture to classes from lecterns when next term the best third will pass and... etc...

[ChristopherLuck]

@dherman276 We try not te Question the Stauts-Quo - Cause the Masses - Never get heard that's unless you're established - With Expert Professors - in Dress Shirts and Glasses - Who lecture to Classes - From Lecterns - Where Next Term - The Best Third will pass - and earn cash working as Desk Clerks - For the Best Firms in Manhattan. :P

[noobicus2]

@dherman276 Status quo* :)

[18mac]

Anyone know where I can get the lyrics to this song?

[AmazingFunnyVideos]

this is true

[dshukor1]

this is def the strongest song on the album

[rapidkid11]

overcome hate with love

this wisdom of man

is foolishness to God

dnt build on da sand

this is hiphop

[jayjaythrei]

This is probably the best track on The Old Prince.

[stokelycarm]

deadmaninc, thanks for posting this song. Rap in its finest!

[stokelycarm]

...so basically he's explaining how he doesn't fall to the societal corruption that we all fall prey to that results from peer and societal pressure.

[stokelycarm]

my analysis for this song:

Shad is basically discussing his relationship with society and government and how he chooses individualism and non-conformism ideals in dealing with the pressures of life. "Though we emphatize with them and sympathize with them, I don't enterprise with them or synchronize with them..." Shad basically feels that as wise as human beings feel, they still have a lot of basic things to learn.

Very good song!!
