I can tell you really love this song cause I know u had to pause and pinpoint where to insert the pics many, many ,many,many, many times haha...props...song is nasty...long live hiphop!!
@Ayplus took more than a month since windows kept crashing. got the idea just from listening to the song while driving. listened to it on repeat for weeks just to get the beat down, then the pictures found themselves. although, i would like to make changes since i see some mistakes. i guess the other one i did tries to compensate for those mistakes.
Man kudos to you for posting up graff with "there's a city full of walls you can post complaints at" that always what i picture in my head when i hear that lyric
and good job keeping up with the flow sic vid had me laughing and relating
Dope ass video, make sure you got this shit saved somewhere else in case it gets removed by youtube! Also if you got time you should make other videos to other mos def videos, would be defff
yo did u cut this together urself? if so, fuckin respect, fuck a bullshit ass amv, if it aint got cues it aint shit, n if it do got cues oh well cuz a vid like this is way better. (no disrespect to good amv-ers)
its funny isn't it.certain genres are abused by so many because of there ignorance,hearing only the worst of the worst on the radio,but in a way its good every time underground music i love seeps its way into mainstream conciousness the whole scene gets totally fucked by retard punters and copy cat artists.its happened in much of my local music scene.Mos def is about as famous as you can get without crossing over to the dark side i reckon.
oh thank the matrix!! i just had to check on youtube if this had the views it deserves and i'm pleased that there's 280k views! this is some boogie hip hop. wicked. excellent. giant. *
Dude, the editing on this is sick!!! I love the way it matches the song. and the song is dope BTW... thank you for this video.. I really appreciate the time you must've spent on this... #MuchRespect
His flow, content and lyrical fluidity is inch perfect. Has a clear, vivid, memorable voice with a slur and mic presence that is unbeatable. And his story telling skills (ms fat booty) dont even fuckin get me started.
haha.whatever.flow,lyrical fluidity.like it takes any skill to rhyme a word together.any four year old can do it.top 5 emcee? thats saying nothing.now if they learn to play to sing, or piana or guitar, or anything remotely musical, i might be impressed. lame
Very ignorant bro. Mos Def plays multiple instruments, sings soul, and spits complex lyricism that a closed minded prick like you couldn't decipher. Obviously someone who spells as shitty as you can't have a relevant opinion, so save us all the laugh and shut the fuck up.
Who the fuck are you? There are a lot of technicalities that go into lyricism that I didn't even begin to comprehend until years of listening to different artists. There is Multi-syllable rhymes (VERY hard but mos def does them frequently) Similies, metaphors. a lot of times it's not about the music; it's about their skill as a rapper and/or the message they portray. To insult mc's like mos def (not fake/commercial ones like lil wayne, soulja boy) is to insult poets and writers across centuries.
@Noctoural88 well fuckin said! but why argue with people who dont understand hip-hop. let em listen to that pop music on the radio. its funny how hip-hop is stero-typed as Retards Attempting Poetry (R.A.P) but the people who say this either cant comprehend the skill and time it takes to make the art, artists, true artists like mos and talib produce. yeah, anyone can rhyme, but to have meaning, deep understanding of an abstract subject such as life or love to describe in rhyming words takes SKILL
@foreverblunted718 also many people believe rap stands for rhyme and poetry rather it stands for rhythm and poetry. its because of rappers like lil wayne who makes hip hop look like a bunch of words slurred with an autotune and made to rhyme, but rather the true artists use metaphors, expressions, etc.
