[mhkdk1]

[HipHopcheerleader]

Hip-Hop in it's wide awake, conscious state.

[MrSuxess]

ALLAH IS GOD FUCK MONEY ! MONEY DONT MAKE DA MAN !

[v13tp00n4g3]

@MrSuxess Bein if u dont make money then u just a broke nigga, men get that paper n do what they supposed to do

[sparkfatblunts]

@MrSuxess Allah is just the translation for God in Arabic.

[Hatinonthehaters]

Doctors say im the illest, i aint got no insurance! LMFAO!

[brownie3405]

they wearin pants, you can still see they drawerssss

[maddogtom77]

i love mos, but to think he murked jay and ye here is straight stupid. this doesnt hold a candle to the original

[MrMikeDapper]

'who the fuck is margiela' my thoughts exactly. (i had to google how to spell it)

[traydiel]

FUCK YO FRENCH, WE AIN'T IN FRANCE! .. I'M JUST SAAAAAAYIN! - @MOS

[drzdenizen]

This Shit Kray, Exactly what's needed to Balance shit Out

[RidEoRdIe901]

Stfu men bitches need to no the facts fuck what anybody gotta

[Saskiequelle]

He just rap about bitches with fat ass...now he wants to be a muslim and criticize?

[FraisC]

@Saskiequelle you obviously have no clue what you're speaking on. research this man's music before you make yourself look like a fool in front of the internet world to see.

[randay92]

What happened to the music video for this....?

[morpDprime]

This version is fuckin weak.

[FlintKashtro]

This Nigga Mos Def Murdered them clowns spitting some real bars, Mad Props

[ElTresDeMayo1808]

The origin of the term “Cray” from the “Niggas in Paris” single off Jay-Z and Kanye West’ “Watch the Throne” album is actually not a shortened form of the word “crazy”, nor is it “cray”, it’s actually “Kray”. It’s in reference to the schizophrenic twins Ronald and Reginald Kray… The Kray twins who were the crime lords in London in the 50′s and 60′s… The police failed to locate them on numerous occasions, which is where the line “ball so hard, muthafuckas wanna find me, that shit Kray.."

[hyyurr]

@ElTresDeMayo1808

good job......?

[Kayplaya]

@ElTresDeMayo1808 Well, I believe its actually "Ball so hard muthaf*ckas wanna FINE me (as in sports-related), but first they have to find me" To me the second part is saying he's unreachable, because he's ballin (ie. out in Paris where the average person can't just up & go). I've heard that Crime Lords argument before but never heard Jay or Ye verify that so its all speculation.

[FINofficial]

@ElTresDeMayo1808 it means cray as in crazy not some deep shit like that. if u listen to them at ther concerts jay and ye sometimes tend to say crazy instead of cray

[ElTresDeMayo1808]

Mos def live in my hometown in germany on March 2nd THAT SHIT CAY!!! Fuck Watch the throne tour!

[Ristogad37]

Real tune Mos Respect !!!

[HighJackinSoundz]

anti capitalist hiphop 4 life lol

[ifsixwasninemusic]

of the trees remix should sample this instead of the original.

[fez2401]

this is what rappers should be talking about

[Bonjab]

Absolutely fire. May Allah continue to bless Yasiin to make more music.

[mafix2101985]

Mos Def!

[HipHopcheerleader]

"This ish crazy, walk outside-the whole world hate me" "it's easy and hard to be here" Yasiin Bey is The Mos Def cat in the conscious state of Hip Hop---poet, politician, political, analytical, never greedy or pitiful

[khensuneferhetep]

this ish is pure fire

[supersscreamintite]

sounded like Beyonce...........

[iamlmc1984]

I'm a huge fan of mos def and I feel sagittarius are some of the best lyricist (mos def, Jay z, nicki minaj, kurupt, twista, cannibus) but his delivery is off

[reggieziet]

@iamlmc1984

Yes true, but apart from this song?

[reggieziet]

Are Mos def and Jay z still beefing?

[Mattluvzunot]

@reggieziet no he is just speaking the truth

[OGbobbyjohnson85]

This is that real hop hop!!! For those who ain't get the message or couldn't feel the realness, ur part of the reason why hip hop is dead on a major level

[pyramidpower33]

sendin that motherfuckin message son!

[medders0413]

This dude straight up sucks..

[Cudifying]

@medders0413 lmao ur just one hell of a dumbfuck that doesnt get a single line

[ABlackManIAmNot]

@medders0413 like your mom in bed cockchoker

[khensuneferhetep]

@medders0413 die bitch

[sistermaryjane90]

@bandicoot2ps1 I definitely agree, if people are dissatisfied with the direction that

hip-hop is going into, then they should try to change it.

[iamalexroberts]

Killed it, damn. But isn't mos signed to kanye's label? I feel like this is pretty conflicting.

[conorucd]

@iamalexroberts It is not a diss it is a great song over a jay/ye beat.

[lyndonfiasco]

some of the realest hip hop you will ever fucking hear. bow down to Yasiin Bey

[dimez20]

Righteous

[bandicoot2ps1]

I hope you people applauding Mos Def support him too. I'm tired of niggas on the internet with expensive ass computers and Iphones talk about how hip-hop is dead but won't pay for the hospital bills (think about that) to keep it alive,all it costs is $10.00. Blackstar lets gooooo.

[randay92]

@bandicoot2ps1 Damn bro. I have always been thinking the same thing. If you all love music and hip hop so much, everyone should invest in it by actually buying music instead of downloading it for free.

[MonumentalKB]

Yeah!!

[scnupe7]

Mos turned sh!t into sugar/made lemonade out of lemmons!!

[Mrhiphop4life1]

@scnupe7 Na, like Atmosphere, he painted this shit gold

[theMeenDawg]

To all you guys asking about his next album, his upcoming Top 40 Underdog Series is a series of 40 remixed popular songs, with this being the first one. Also this yr, he is planning on a sequel to the 1999 Black Star album with Talib Kweli.

[91KingBoo]

I like how Bey did this song, it's good good.

[Goldadonis]

damn, i feel this so hard, fuck jay's music

[scnupe7]

@Goldadonis Word up!!

[Shaka007zulu]

"bourgie girl, grab your hand/ show you how to do this ghetto dance// SMACK!!!! (lmfao) fuck your french, we aint in France, I'm just saying//" tooo funny roflmbao.... Mos Def went in on this track, yo kanye and jay are probably yelling "treason, treason" on this one right now

[youngj11229]

"psycho liable to go Michael take your pick Myers Myers Myers same shit"

[greenmatrix151023387]

mos def killed it :)

[trascendero777]

Facebook group Hip-Hop Liberation Front. Unifying the Hip-Hop tribes from all over the planet. The US, South Africa, Australia, The Philippines, Bosnia, UK, Canada, Haiti, and Poland, so far... It's a small group, but expanding. Looking for heads to bomb our wall with any and everything related to real Hip-Hop. It's an open group, so just search the name on Facebook and join. 1

[Graail7]

@sammie31 Yasiin

[ChuckTaylorsz]

If you listen its a subliminal message not in a bad way either Yasiin Bey is faar away from the Illuminati

[mrdk216]

@ChuckTaylorsz er wat subliminal message?

[kamekazi003]

His new name Yasiin, is awesome and he's still killin it, i hope he comes out with a new album this year <3 he's a true artist

[youngj11229]

@kamekazi003 Black Star is and hes on GOOD Music: The Album cause hes a GOOD Music artist so thats what hes doing now i dont think he has a solo project coming out

[ahsengali]

Mos just took Jay's and Kanye's flow and murdered this shit.

[HighJackinSoundz]

@ahsengali murdered and straighten, thats how real hip hop is !!!

[phester061594452]

he will forever be Mos Def to me...

[heartlessboy808]

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THEE BEST REMIX OF THIS SONG

[FuckAutumn]

STILL MOS DEF TO ME

[KwakuRune]

[theMeenDawg]

doctors say i'm the illest, i aint got no insurance

its the niggas in poorest, be the rebel guerillas haanhh

[1FLOt]

not his real best work but he kept it real as fuck

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

Good Shit by this Awaken Souljah... Fukk the illumnati dikk sukkin tricks GayZ & KanGay!!

[ItsMeEddyV]

Does anyone know who that sample is talking?

[eselgeist]

@ItsMeEddyV In the middle break of the song, that's Malcolm X.

[dskillz77]

Was that malcolm x that was saying he felt like he was dead already he fears nothing?? That's gonna be my fb update yahurd

[shiitsu]

@dskillz77 ye! he was shot not too long after that. that was a power speech!

[MsLexi121212]

@dskillz77 lol, first thing i thought too. Facebook Status. lol

[dskillz77]

I literally replayed this 15 times in a row I'm bout to go psycho michael..myers , myers , myers ...

[XXXMusicFan1995XXX]

I've read that this is a diss cause he's tired of Jay's and Kanye's arogant behaivour. According to Mos def Jay z's ''brothers'' don't have enough money to eat, yet Jay z keeps bringing up money and ''brotherhood'' so i'm guessing that Mos Def is fed up with that shit

[MrNostalgikk]

YASIIN!!! Ill call u mos def tho lol

[AboSaud33]

That shit cray hehe mos def is the greatest!!!!

[trademarktaz]

this is why mos def is so great, he's rich as fuck and still makes real ass music. he actually got rich as fuck as an entertainer and is more down to earth than any popular rapper out right now.

[sofuckinndope]

This my favorite song

[sofuckinndope]

dunno if ya'll heard..

dat joint Niggas in poorest from Mos Def is fuckin' dope.

[3sizzleman]

Who the fuck is Magiela? xD MOS DEF killed it

[mr904lee]

This some of the realist shit i heard make me wanna go listen to umi says

[justflow210]

@JuneMoonEnchantress Man I understand n I mean love mos def and know how deep n true he could be with the rhyme but I mean it just a little hard to take him seriously when hes doing it over such a wack beat I mean he should've remixed it with a mad beat that has that blackstar feel to it then I wouldnt be upset

[Fido1488]

Speak the truth, Mos Def. You're one of the realest rappers out there.

[mysterieuse]

abso-fucking-lutely clever, loooove it

[walkwithme]

google killer hip hop mos def niggas in poorest for the lyrics.

[walkwithme]

wow man... this is so real

[trudon]

surely this is a subliminal diss to jay and kanye. its a great message but i wonder how kanye feels about this seeing as they are friends.

[joystan]

@trudon It's not a diss. He's just flipping their song, ye and Jay know how real it is and Yasiin isn't saying anything about them.

[samisab786]

Why'd ya cut the Bismillah. That's the dopest introduction.

[wildman818420]

Wake up ppl . Listen to this man he speaks truth

[Havoc1521]

Fools ain't getting the message. Wanna hear about hoes and Benz and calling our women bitches

[Havoc1521]

Its deep. Flies over theses lames heads who think Wayne and jay z is real hip hop

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@Havoc1521 Well what they are rapping....and what they're rapping about is whats considered to be the basis of REAL hip hop. Do i think Wayne is nice? No, Jay? Yeah i fucks with his music but still. Talking shit, and bragging is really what rap was based upon.

[hello120494]

Does anyone know when we can expect a new album??

[rouldis]

love this.

[neto242]

Fake Gucci, my nigga, fake Louis, my killa

Real drugs, my dealer, who the fuck is Margiela?

[CaptainDBMT]

wish i knew what he was saying

[coolguy6742]

lyrics please

[MrSicksilvo]

@coolguy6742 posted on killerhiphop . com

[concept8407]

if ur not listening...stop supporting hip hop then wit yo hearing aid needing ass!

[SpeedyJell02k]

some people might say he sucks but you gota listen to his 'LYRICS'

[klirka127]

If you listen to the lyrics, its quite impressive..

[PoeticLikeNas]

There is one posted with better sound quality on here. Not trying to steer ppl away from this one but if you can't hear the lyrics, you may think it's bad. He's speaking truth that needs to be spoken. Most ppl leave Jay Z's, Kanye's, and many others' idolatry, etc., unchecked. Someone needs to stand up against that in Hiphop.

[astroception]

doctor says im the illest. i ain't got no insurance.

[dannybboosh]

just awful :(

[Ginga]

@dannybboosh

Bet you didn't listen to a single lyric. Mos is my favorite MC. I'll admit, I didn't like the distortion but he went in.

[bigddagenius]

@dannybboosh yeah, ok.

[dizy91]

pun intended

[dizy91]

ehhhhhhh mos def not his best

[KenobiBlack]

@dizy91 I WANT BLACKSTAR BACK! but ill still support mos def

[dizy91]

@KenobiBlack yeah man dont worry about it their album will come out this year.

[smokingmirrorz]

ouch. thiss hurt the earz.

[TheCoolmandingo]

@Mweeez22

exactly!!! that was dope! cant wait until he drops the rest of this masterpiece

[JordantheGiant]

Doctor's say I'm the illest, I ain't got no insurance LOL

[KaishaLaSha83]

LOL.... Real shit.

[roonaldinho87]

Like the lyrics but sounds like a spoof / parody by some amateur on youtube for fame..

[Fredfiness]

@roonaldinho87 Actually listen to what he's saying. Go to rap genius and look up the explanation if you don't get it.

[fistfullofhope]

It's aight

[FlorescentFish]

God this goes hard!

[JuneMoonEnchantress]

@Justflow210 Its not just a remix. He's sending the message that what Ye and Jay are on (Niggas in Paris) is actually some nonsense. There are real issues to be talked about. The people are poor. Stop talking about Niggas in Paris!

[420sunsetpoet]

wow this is the GREATEST!!! Props to Yasiin :) this goes hard

[SingeSabre]

His flow is very filled with tension, I like this

[justflow210]

yo why da fuck is mos def even spittin over dis god awful track c'mon mos why even remix over a fake shitty hip pop song it just isn't right?!

[TheBronxUberVillain]

@justflow210 you mad?

[proofy25]

@justflow210 The beat is good, it's some boombap stuff. 

[proofy25]

This is nice!!

[wildman818420]

Hands down greatest.... Yasiin Bey

[hello120494]

This is fucking dope. Very clever, top marks!

[KoolGNasBlackThought]

Sorry to say, but this fuckin sucks

[hello120494]

@KoolGNasBlackThought How does this suck?

[iamMarcusPolk]

@hello120494 I'm guessing the sound quality..I hope it's just me, but the sound quality sucks on this..I can't hear what he's saying half the time. At the end though, it gets pretty good. Don't get caught up in no throne..from there on it's pretty cool and i started vibing to it.

[NikoProductionz]

this is crayon

[PoeticLikeNas]

Someone on Twitter says he'll do 40 remixes from the top 40 rap songs on the charts and this is the first. Not sure if it's true.

[MoneyedMuzikTv12]

@PoeticLikeNas It's true !

[aybandele]

@MoneyedMuzikTv12 oh shit forreal!!!!!! awesomeness

[TheMashupMessiah]

@MoneyedMuzikTv12 That's AMA|ING! :O I can't wait to see this!!

[Ginga]

@PoeticLikeNas

I just read about it. It's going to be called "Top 40 Underdog". I can't wait. 

[Poetyk1]

Mos is a beast

[MikeDaooo]

This is horrible.

[PoeticLikeNas]

Don't forget to post on Twitter and tell your friends. #YasiinBey. Ms. PoeticLikeNas

[Jahamed23]

[RaminMe2]

Damn I wish he made a clean cut studio version instead..

[HerDEZsert]

Yasiin Bay

[jevanzzzzz87zzzz]

[hairypalmz09]

@jevanzzzzz87zzzz i wish i had the title fam but i know its from a rare movie about this dude in detroit whos bored in life and impersonates people . he impersonates a french dude, a sports writer etc.

[hairypalmz09]

@lordsola thanx for givin me the name i might search out for that movie cause i aint seen it in a while

[lordsola]

@jevanzzzzz87zzzz Voice sample is from a film called "chameleon Street" it was also sampled for BLACKSTAR'S "Brown Skin Lady"...

[bandicoot2ps1]

Fuck Rap Radar this shit cray

[Burabari14]

If I were him I would have put some BLACK up in the family XD yeaaaaa buddy!!!!

[FanCudder]

His version is like 10 times better than their. He spitts heat.

[PoeticLikeNas]

@LikeIsNas don't get caught up in no throne. Allah's in control. Lol @ dudes walkin each other in the bathroom stall. Love you Mos.

[brinnyed]

50 grand is a LOT
