[luke4djojo]

@Revolutionarywarrio1 yes, you are a little and unique snowflake

[JCostilCapo1]

I rap, I go by IOTOS, check my tracks out that I uploaded, all hatin is welcome...

hatin is the projection of privatized emotions that are actually reverse spitted because yall don't hate me... yall hate yo' selves.

For those that want to hear good hip hop that is influenced by the greats (Lupe, Shady, AZ, NAS, Rakim, etc.) then check me out and give me a chance.

Listen to Jammed Up, F.T.G., Gov's Greazy...

Give me a Chance and my music will speak for itz self!

[jasperAalme]

[THEREALSIDGUY]

MOS DEF FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

[xoXjendyXox22]

@THEREALSIDGUY  wooooord up!!

[FioriBen]

com'on mos def for president! i think he got the heart and the mind on the right place

[kraftboy]

hes a walking metronome .. I did a lot of classical music study and this is the thing too many people can't get over .. good rappers stay on tempo without accompaniment and intone their raps to provide a kind of melody .. I've met a bajillion more guitar player pretenders than great rappers like Mos.

[stone1free1]

jay-z says hes the best rapper alive. i dont give a shit if he doesnt write anything down. he could never dream of freestyling or writing or wataver the fuck he does, anything like this if he sat there for 4 hours with pen in hand

[RJthefireman51]

lame

[dickfuckballs]

Anyone know the brand name or where online I could purchase some badass overalls like these?? :)

[crownncokable]

whiney fucker?

[secorbred]

this song is so ill for that verse, a lot of the album is already mad soulful for his singing but he spits a ill verse over some nice instruments n sings n its just soooo nice

[shotteebwoi1O2]

what is the beat at the end?

[dondee23]

word, i'm eager to know that too

[neenei]

This one  on point !

[remainingnameless]

that's some straight up cinema quality video right there. dude filming him must be part of some real production crew.

[catfish20inc]

hating is a disease get it dis- ease. whoever upload this thank you

[JanFB16]

..and you're nuthin' but a gay ass fag :D

[johnnyvulture3]

wow your really stupid i guess you would rather listen to soulja boy or some other bullshit

[Kinowolf]

Even worse, check out his page. He listens to weak rock/rap by some idiots with no flow.

Also, I'm amazed you don't see the irony in dissing Africa and claiming to like rap at the same time. All contemporary American music (except Country and Bluegrass) can trace its roots back to Africa.

There is no America without Africa. Period.

[jazwaz112]

bluegrass as well, since the key instrument the banjo was African

[Kinowolf]

Very true, but I don't push that too hard since the rhythmic and melodic connection to Northern European folk music is very strong.

[2realmadrid3]

Saudi hip hop on my channel.

[Olounfeh]

Don't worry my dinosaur like friend there is a great big comet coming your way... Poof in an instant. Bon Jour.

[weyov]

[SudoJudo1]

Some bitches need a slap if ya ask me.. I aint the one to do it but with some bitches.. u can understand

[karlharleman]

I don't think he slapped her but he fucked her life up by refusing to sign the divorce papers. Technically they're still married.

[SudoJudo1]

[HaarlemmerHewe]

mos def > jay z

[torontoplayer]

who is this fool a home less in japan?????

[kullarz]

mos def nooblet

[SwitchbladeGarcia]

This is how the video to "Casa Bey" should've really been made:.......Mos walkin' thru Osaka rhyming, followed around by a japanese kid holdin' a big-ass classic ol' school Boombox playin' the instrumentals.

It would've been much better than the original video !

Mos Def..once a classic always a classic.

[thecamper09]

dfdfgdfdfdf
