K-os

[HarrisonLaine12]

1st time I hears this song (grade 7) I WAS HOOKED! I have of his albums...so far.

[mrcharm69]

I swear to Christ I hear "I'm being poised, standing in my b-boy stance." during the chorus and that's how I sing it. But all I find on the internet is "I'm a b-boy standin in my b-boy stance" on lyric sites.

[MamboItalian5]

I remember I used to make sure nobody was in the house, turn this tune on then just tear it up in the kitchen. Listening to this track today and the song still makes me move!!!

[mombo555]

i can do that move at 2:01 lol did it last night

[manekoneki1111]

These dancers blow my mind. I wish I could dance like that! I love K-OS! <3

[onnapastoutelasoiree]

Back when MuchMusic was still decent !!! #toomuchteendrama !!!!!

[nirtynirt]

Whats the move from 1:24 - 1:28

[DaHomieC]

this is what should be famous. this is what's real. the number of views on this video is solid prove of how corrupted our world is today. this is true talent. this is what hip-hop is about.

[cantstoptherok]

man kos is beyond reproach, i'd really like him to have a beef with fifty cent, he'd be like the little shaolin monk who doesn't do anything until the fight has gone too far, then boom, pow, kiiyaaiiiii

[neotri45]

"Elevate, Meditate, eliminate-thoughts from my past keep knocking upon my gate

Should I let em in?, the answers not to debate

But to observe the debating and then we can understate"

Goosebumps galore when I first heard that rhyme. What a gem for the mind. Think about that kids.

[qc1st]

c - walk homie

[kzbf2mc]

i like k-o because he has a totally different style from other mainstream artists, you dont get to see much of it anymore

[highlander818]

That chick in the Blue Jays jacket is SO Janet Jackson lol

[Cochella7788]

This is one of his best

[omalor]

anyone know when thus song came out?

[Illmatic1988]

@omalor 2004

[CxHxRxIxSxTxIxAxN]

Can someone plz explain to me how this video doesn't have a million views yet. . .??

I remember when this video FIRST came out, I LOVED it. I love the song, but the video is what really brings it all together. It's fresh, it's got style (and it's better than half the trashy music videos that are airing at this very moment)

I take my hat off to K-os and all the guys and girls dancing in this vid.

Keep hope alive, haha ;-)

[bboyStuntZ]

@CxHxRxIxSxTxIxAxN This person is not the only one who uploaded it. Chances are someone else uploaded and got more views.

[DFrizzleNizzle]

bboying is not just about powermoves. it's about style.

[Kaptainsaveaho]

[renewer]

Doesn't the girl in the Blue Jays outfit look like a young Janet Jackson??

[Sakamachi25]

oh.... Canada.

[KayPeaaePyaK]

From the top of the highest summit again we run it!

[KayPeaaePyaK]

From the top of the highest summit again we run it!

[edawgyoniga]

0:50 <-- IS THAT THE GUY WHO RUNS BOMBSHELTER??!?!? someone know what im sayin?

[molesticles]

I found the song. It's the bridge in "Their Law"....... Awesome, that woulda ruined my day.

[molesticles]

There is something in the chorus that sounds like the prodigy. You know when he says "B-Boy standing in my B-Boy Stance".

Get back to me if you recognise it.

[kabega1]

i can't believe this little ass had the nerves to talk about k'naan in this shit, fuck you little asshole with a aids dick, that shows you how low a person sink just to get in some lines, keep talking nonsense while k'naan talks about real life, his right your Revolutionary Avocado, suburban negro turned hip hop hero, haha funny line from my african brother k'naan

[guy0Npage38XBL]

@kabega1 chill bro. its not like he's even going to read that.

[Xone7]

One of the greats. period.

[Biglumpia0]

Haha can you say overdose of Flash dance.

[Flexxx29]

complete ownage even thought he ripps up Knaan in this song. K OS is for real makes lil wayne look just that "lil"

[Kenster1025]

They should have used this song at the Olympic End Ceremonies

[DanTheMan774]

B-Boy Stance! A sick song, indeed. K-Os is a legend, for real.

[12bar145ne]

killer fuckin tune..great video

[bigcatjam]

The new album Yes! is really good. Very far away from the rest of his stuff. It's like K-os is his own genre.

[Homicide419]

3:42 I love the ppart with those 2 girls in the lettermen jackets, that lil footwork they do there

[Homicide419]

K-Os!!! please save Hip-Hop before these shitty new artists kill it!!!!

[demonhand]

There's some great dancing in this! All the Hip Hop and funkstyles!

[BeverlyHills2ndGen]

Man, I forget how much great music there has been in this decade...up to about 2006.

After that, the whole industry went to shit with emo and pop-hop ruling the charts.

[drillahmon]

yeah even on flow 93.5 if you're in toronto.. supposed to be hip hop station now they play so much shit music theres like 1 rap song on every half hour and its a shitty industry rapper

[Kenster1025]

agreed very much so, now they just started playing rappers like JB.

[hitch4645]

k-os is still puttin out great shit, regardless of the industry

[NzV123]

i've been reading comments on k-os's songs... and your opinion is no different than everyone else's... i grew up hating rap/hip-hop/etc. but now i see k-os and i love his style.

[arsy14]

He got style in music and dressing!

[jjtiojohn12]

k-os is ahead of his time!

[cooltv4]

nice syncro at 1:50 - 1:53 and 3:30-3:37 WAS AWSOME

[horrorfan35]

illiest K-OS song, video.... love this song

[drillahmon]

Represent that Canadian rap scene.When i think of music i just think hes like the sound of Toronto.

[killratoss]

ya me too like anything by kardi too

[Quag7]

I would never have thought, when rap was basically a local New York thing in the early 80s, that it would spread beyond those confines out to the world at large to this extent.

And not only that, somehow, people take it, reinterpret it, and make it their own. I've heard great Israeli and Palestinian rap. You've got DubFX in Australia. Dozens of UK artists. And here in this video we have the best song of that year coming from Canada.

It's insane. It's awesome.

[sonicxxx100]

1:46 i fav part that guy is slick

[cs16rlz]

2:30 2:32 DOPE syncro (dunno if that's the way to Writ it) lol

[turbofreak19]

[cantstoptherok]

Religeous entertainers who want to be life savers

Damn.. another dollar for the mind, another cold

[jemal99]

[TraeDOMINATION]

K-os is a lyrical genius. One of the best hip-hop artist ever.

[BlackNMedBlaze]

[allenjustdance]

"ain't it"

[elFokerMx]

elFokerMx | 12 de noviembre de 2007

la cancion es un himno del Bboy-HipHop, voy hacer una edicion con los mejores power moves, de breakers, pronto, excelente video

dedicado a los breakers del mundo, homenaje a todos los q hacen q el movimiento siga, una vez mas K-os el mejor raper, para el mundo hiphop, saludos, a los FOX POWER (FXP)

de Monterrey N.L., MEXICO, kbrones, piz loko

K-os un Icono del HIP HOP REAL, el mejor!!!!! superstarrrrrrrr si senor

[Fitzxverdi]

yea dis was bak in da daiz! reminz me of da summerrrr tiimez!

[covertopssniper]

Alot of Popping, locking, and other styles in addition to the toprock.

Dont down play style just because power is showy. For someone to get down a unique style can take just as much effort and coordination as learning power.

[XBlackAltairX]

True

[catchman5]

Yo, ain't that the truth. I love to see style. I find an awesome, creative, unique style is more impressive then bustin' out say an airtrack to an elbow track or some crazy power moves just because you see them so often. I toprock is the basis of breakdancing. It's what everyone see's first.

[AllisterCaine]

@covertopssniper

sure, you are right sir, but i think at least a bit windmilling and headspinning should be in this vid, as you said- is showy.

the mix does it. :D

big up to all b-boys out there.

[dirtykambo]

luv this song, mad props to the dancers

[megostylez]

"its only toprock"

laff

[toyminater]

Toprock is arguably the most important part. You can bboy without flips. You can't bboy without toprock. Toprock owns.

[jkt5]

Only toprock... ok... i can't really see why its a bboy music video.

[bboyvyrusfullfx]

i hope your joking about that man

[jkt5]

Its just toprock...

[bboyvyrusfullfx]

you obviously have no idea what a bboy is, just cause they showing toprock doesnt mean they arent bboying its one of the fundementals lol

[jkt5]

what i mean is if they call it "bboy" why just show one aspect it would be the same if they just did flips. but i guess its bboy "stance".

[bboyvyrusfullfx]

wow this video is still tight its actually giving dancers a chance to show off their skills

[SpearsFn1]

THis is tha shit 4 all dancers all over tha world, including me.

[gizmoto78]

there is hardly any bboying in this video compared to some of his others . all they do is toprock. but it's good to see some artist show respect to the true essence of hip hop

[AngieVadim]

I agree . . . That is all they did - Top Rock but oh well . . . Its cool because not a lot of B-Boys can actually Top Rock - Only the tricks and stuff.

[marlee018]

yeah for me they didnt have to do tricks. Top Rocking was enough. And plus all we ever see is tricks because people learn these tricks from gymnastics and call themselves bboys or bgirls.

[bboyStuntZ]

@marlee018 I don't think they should have shown popping then. In this video that is called b-boy stance and the lyrics say "I'm JUST a b-boy". K-os or the director didn't research this dance enough. If you talk to any of the poppers or lockers in this video, they won't call them self a b-boy. No wonder the media is confused. I watched a popping video one and it was called breakdance. It's because people think popping, locking, bboying, is all the same under the name breakdance.

[bboyStuntZ]

@marlee018 But it's true this is something different showing more of the dancing side and letting people know that bboying is a dance and it's not all about tricks and power. At times when people see a trick or power move they only remember that and forget everything else. My only complaint is that they shouldn't show popping or locking in this. Or since they did, there should be subtitles showing people what style of dance the poppers and lockers were doing.

[wisecrack]

yea!!! bring some TDOT flava, WORD UP!

[gman6501]

yup it is louv this song!!!!!!!!

[TheOriginal009]

Dude K-OS is hot!!!!!!!Good to see one of his videos on here finally
