CRAP A BIG BIG 1IS A GRENN SCREEN SHIT

[1realnigga24]

how come most of ethiopian music videos

are about women and girls they should make

rap about the reality

[tibehabesha]

really people lets stop making this overdone kind of clips with women just doing the expected things.. its really redundant and unoriginal.. this song is just all together unorginal in every sense.. sorry to say..

[once2ice]

nice vid with nice beat. not many ethiopian songs have good beats.

[mamush1234]

go samvod..we love u dude ever since i saw u in addis..u r awsome

keep up man

[frezer21]

# 1 best video in ethiopian music video history

[nisuhbrhan09]

hey, guys leave him alone. if he wants to copy let him be .

[detroitesquire]

Does anyone know what song from Enya was sampled at 1:00?

[ballance27]

at 1:00, that is from "STORMS IN AFRICA"

You've noticed very well Detroit!

[detroitesquire]

Thanks. And I like that song. There are several other tracks I'd like to hear sampled from her.

By the way, did you produce this, ballance27?

[ballance27]

No, I do not have any thing to do with music production at all.

It is easy to tell a simple copy cut and paste work from others like you noticed. I do not like it when "artists" copy their own work, let alone from others like this guy! That is a BIG PLAGIARISM!!!

[detroitesquire]

Still, I think you have a good ear to be able to recognize the same thing I did. Not many people know about Enya, let alone her tracks.

We probably have similar tastes in music.

[kuchu]

The First of Autumn.

[mesfin375]

i don't really care where the video shot either hollywood or bollywood or even in ethiopia, okay son !? ain't nobody talked about its quality, all i'm saying is he is copying every move and that really sucks.If you have watched "Fikir and Dance" u'll know what i'm saying.....FAKE,FAKER n FAKERS....

"ONE WORD 'GREEN SCREEN' ." and that's one word?

[Tadmulu69]

Fuck ever one that dont like this shit give this nigga some respact.

[rmunie1]

Not to judge, but Sami seems like a very egocentric guy. That's not cool, dude. I can't get over how americanized this video is, ridiculous! lol

[njhony]

fuck ya all sterio typed UP HABESHAS whos complaining sayn this n tht dis CLIP IS THA SHIT! big up SAMVOD!

[70steps2nazretskuul]

haha your the stereotypical habesha....lol eeryone is so shittishly ghetto in ethiopia...and you call the people that arent ghetto stereotypes eh? haha lmao....you nigger luvvers.....you say pentes are taking their religion from westerners, well arent you baryas doing the same thing...except you're degrading people....wey stereotypicall lol sibal semtehal ishi...

[Simonbighead381]

Not that i like the dude, but lets give him some moral, and don`t bring religion in here, ok!

[keeps00000]

3:13

[djEssatu]

Revolution is coming, SamVod newest video going to be something phenomenal, u thought this was hot, wait and see. shot in location in Hollywood, just wait and witness the Revolution.

[bitimbuktu]

this was so bad. being shot in hollywood doesn't mean you are as talented and craeative as them! you need to work a lot hard man! you are not even close to 'em. stop cheating, use your own imagination and creation. u r trying to be like them. but u r not yet there! show us your talent.

[djEssatu]

The video above was shot in Ethiopia

[bitimbuktu]

even a blind can tell this is in ethiopia!

[gizzlegangster]

Dude, don't try to bullshit us with the new video was shot in Hollywood, don't you think we have connections and we don't get news, we know the new video was done with computer effects and with that you can put sami any where in the world

one word "GREEN SCREEN"

[senammnl]

NOt that good.

i give it 2 out of 6.

[yodu123]

this is one of my favorite ethiopian music videos. and for liyalovely it is not what we wear or do in this video, it is what we have underneath it all, in the heart that makes as ethiopian. OKAY!

[liyalovely]

Wow gurls . lats not forget our Cultur people (bitchs) .. maybe it sooo cool for u guys to do this... but it aint make u what u are... i think we should be proud for what we are and who we are ....

[mcgirl45]

your momma better not see your littlewe butt dancing up on thos girls.... homie boy

[nammy3]

those girls better pray they're mama's dont see this video :|...otherwise they gonna be whipped with kebetow for the rest of their lives...LOL.

[ethioamu]

hahahaa.....funny

lmao

[heluka1234]

@nammy3 lmao i no

[Layzie1988]

I'm suprised, its gd

From your Habesha brother across the border

[hummingbird87]

Did this come before or after the Move ya Body song?

[Ethiomusician]

quick question.. why is he jelous of her with ONE guy, when he's with like 20 girls in a HOT TUB wearing almost NOTHING...

[Ethiomusician]

..and the ending is soo CUTE!

[Ethiomusician]

VERY NICE.. filming. Unique idea. .. lol," Rewind and Come again!" lol

[adugenetyene]

no ass.... skin over bone

[MariaOMG]

somvod is my friend and he not bad like u gooblygd

[gooblygob]

Hey Samvod, or whatever you motherfuckin' name is, what you did to that bitch by the pool, that's assault dawg, even if your ass just got here, I am lookin' for your punk ass, to ship your ass back. Signed, ABA DINA

[dmx2025]

ummmm this guy is studied in public school but he act like some sort of millioners this is to much for ethiopian people they can't have this.any way nice song.

[ethioproperty]

oh wow. i can tell u just hoped off tha plane from ethiopia a lil while ago. listen bro, here in da USA we dont care whether ur family is rich and can send u to a private school or not. if u got style n looks then dats all dat matters bro. so is he supposed to make a video about no food since he was poor or something? and besides public schools give u charecter! something u need!

[imanethio]

he is fine

[lovemezion]

No desrespect but so me of dis Habesha dudes are overly fake.

Especially Sami, he was cute and all before bt now his tryin 2 be a rapper or somethin.

Habesha music should be left in Aster and them oldies style.

If we wanna listen 2 rap we got plenty rappers here in NM we don't need sami.

If we want raggea singer we got same we don't need Jonny.

Sorry guys buy ya'll wack.

[ethioluvpeace]

yeah i luv samvod men

keep it up brother

love u

[demonxxxf]

i mean he is doin a good job but i don't no why his like copying some body music.soamvod think about this thing.holla

[aa11ace11aa]

I should do a music video for this because it would be 10 times better and they need to clean up the audio

[williepep26]

what's wrong with the peopel why do u care he can try any thing he wants if he wants to this doesn't mean his ashamed of his culture stupiddddddddddddd .think before you say

[emsahle]

Nice try but try to be original.

[yellowmelloweth]

the only thing thats hot about this video is the bitches you are lame

[hottmariposa]

samvod is whacker than crack!!!!!!!!

i dont get why ethiopians are trying to modernize their own culture, its so shocking to see them trying to be what they're not.

ethiopians aren't even the best modern dancers, either. they need to stop, they should stick with they're own dances, im jamaican and i have seen asians can dance betta than them!!!

[Ashangulit]

most the dancers in this video are not even habesha.

[ethioamu]

U DUDE.WHT'S Z MADER........r u shamed of ur culture????????freakin' AAA

U HAVE TO BE PROUD OF IT!!!!!!!

U GOT FFFFFFFFALLLLLLLLLLLLLFAIL....­........

[shantiyo]

my friend this is too much u r not representing our culture what ever it is it is cool i like it

[tenmel91]

they need to be more original with the beat and video, the song would have been nice if they did that!!!

[circledsquare]

You have a rich musical cultural heritage try and synthesize that into something new rather than bend it into some unrecognizable copy of someone else's musical heritage. Otherwise I'm not sure how you can call this an Ethiopian song- surely not just because you peppered it with a few Amharic words.... tew tew tew ..... tew.

[enkef]

sam ur the man

[circledsquare]

Slick video, song sung well, with some Amharic content in the lyrics, borrowing very heavily from Caribbean (particularly Jamaican) musical culture. Ultimately disappointing and unoriginal: using cliched, tired language of 'gangsta' videos.

[wudassie1111]

i guess everything change in our country which is not bad but

[yemareweha]

Hoooo !!!! ere wedeza betame abezahew koye meleketu mendenew?

[tgloved]

don't missed up our culture plesse.yante betame beza!!!

[misgana2]

Dat was haaaaaaat. Cool vid

[ahmddin]

GOOD JOB BRO.....u nailed it really nicely. i love ur song and hope to hear more soon man...tx and LOVE ETHIOPIA!

[abiy22]

the song is very good.BUT it reflects a Serious Identity crises!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tommygboy]

LOL...i agree but its just a matter of time. I seen it a lot and I think the western influence is huge in ET.

[byrne76]

--the one thing that i disagree with this vidoe, it speaks nothing about Ethiopia, we are not that low, we are far better, 'bro"you are western wanna be, to hell with your little mind,

[kiki1mimi]

man u need to work on the abs

[Tommygboy]

hun its kitfo and kurt...u cant get rid of that easily...lol.

[sidamoyirgalem]

[abahela]

wa fihane

[leiah11]

good stuff!

[Submission19]

what a disgrace to our culture, music and beauty! Imitating American wrapper gangs and thugs, who disrespect their women, parents, leaders and culture will lead you only to brain-drain and lack of originality and creativity in everything. Disgusting! Remove it please.

[abushu]

Funny, this is what happens when "tera" pepople do things. My God, there was no text message service there at the time they made this clip. Please try to think at least onec!

[Killa8]

lol

[misgana2]

haaaaaaaaat video...and beautiful ethiopians

[maminae]

Oh, this video was filmed in Atlas Resort right outside Addis on your way to Debre Zeit.

I looks like it. A very nice place.

[maminae]

Cheap and very disgraceful to Ethiopian women. Look at how American hip-hop stars disrespect their women in their videos. What's next? Calling every habesha woman shermuta and the like to imitate bitch and ho??

Where are we going with this?!

And if you think I'm saying this because I'm old-school, you're sadly mistaken. I'm just 23 and born and bred in Ethio. This makes me sad.

[JofeAmoraw]

I guess a video like this has to be made at some point. I wish it had some Ethiopian elements in it (props/costume) like in Tewodross and Abraham's Guragetone (like the Birille..brilliant!)

Pro: Good production. Has that "music video" feel.

Con: Absolute lack of originality.

[123ertr]

This fucking ethiopian girls.They give me hard on.they are cute. (I am from ethio too.)

[scanchel]

who the fuck is this mtf samvod? This shit got no flow nutin. I mean, I'm from ET but can't take some lame ass shit like this taling about fousache/gucci. You serious son? betta dig teddy afro or gossaye

[rchiremba]

dats a great step up...keep doin ur thing,

[amdeh]

this is hot, but disrespectfull to our culture

[openyou1]

yes, you are right.

[mwasie]

u stupid man

[Danmicky]

Now this is a music I wana hear when I go to da club(In Addis) Sami we went to the same school,Addis Ketema...Since then I`ve always respected you`r talents man.But whatever happened to Abyssinia Boyz? All yo were talented,started this shit even before people know what rap was.I remember people used to think of me as crazy lunatic when I rap back`n the dayz now the same people are trying to tell me what Rap is.Stupid..any ways great song

[wauktown707]

does anyone know the name of this song and who sings it i know its ethio but like the refrain goes like dabi dabi dabi i always hear it at weddings its rly good so itd b really nice if anyone knew thankz :)

[ele4942]

[openyou1]

ethiopians are so poor they don't live like we see in this music. they don't even have enough food to eat.

[ele4942]

OPENYOU U ARE SUCH A JERK

[openyou1]

[openyou1]

WOW!

Really?

[openyou1]

you better kill yourself before HIV/AIDS kill you!

[ethhoney]

tey, tey, ....wow, this is my song !

[zenafana]

So is this where we going now? is this what we lack to get us in the civilized world? i hate to see such kind of music, which lower our Ethiopian high level character and it should be condemned and banned for that matter. we are better than this.

God bless Ethiopia!

[Alemumerkato]

I see something is growing,the flavor is there but the essense is imported. NEED SOME EXPLANTION? FIGURE IT OUT!I LOOK FORWARD TO FLIP THIS, SO THAT WE CAN BE DRIVEN BY OUR OWN MUSICAL ESSENSE.

[Habesha79]

LuvEthiopia I've read your comment 'n it seems like you aren't livin in Ethio? Well, I'm livin in Addis 'n I can assure you that there are a lot of ladies who did/dace/act as you've seen in Sami's video or even a bit more than that. Don't be surprised, I've seen strange things in Addis Clubs and I was like damn is it what we call civilization? but hey I can't help it, things are goin too fast in here...

[yohannes1997]

yes,you guys are allright habesha 79 i appreciate your comment nd it seems that we extremely gna change our culture,rather than keepin it grow as well as alive.wat can we do it's the 2000 generation.

[OLFb2u]

it is sad that Melese and the Tigray People Liberation Movement effectively cut the people of Tigray from other Ethiopians,somalians & eritreans it is better you guyes zip lip B4 something happen.

[haniayu15]

Mesayiye, I don't believe he copy in my opinion he just use their melody and retune in Amharic. And my friend all over the world musician peoples do that mixing one culture to others I think it's great, what's wrong about one person mix our culture to others. Don't you think opinion like you and others makes us third country in the world. The only thing I am saying why we can be positive for the peoples they try? How is going to grow Ethiopian music if we did not give them the opportunity?

[byrne76]

-haniayu--you have made a good point though i disagree with some, we have got an outstanding culture so let others copy from us,

[haniayu15]

byrne76 At list we agree in some point ha? Sweet! We stay friend

[haniayu15]

u need to see Mike-e music called "everything well me oright" i think this is a kind of music u need to see you gona love it

[byrne76]

-haniaya-- Thanks a lot,we agree to disagree,"Happy new year"

[ybayoyo]

GOOD NEWS..The Oromia State Investment Commission has licensed Ethiopian investors with five billion birr capital in the past three months. 324 Diaspora who were granted licenses came home to celebrate the millennium.

The investors would engage in industry, agriculture, hotel, trade and other sectors.

Upon going operational, the projects would create jobs to 30,000 people.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! TO ALL MY PPL....WITH ALL MY LOVE....AND BEST WISHES FOR ALL OF US....FOR THE YEARS TO COME....

[huslas07]

no doubt homeboy cause am here in united state doin da same thing hopefully i will work with ur boy samvod

[OLFb2u]

If foreign aid was the solution to the developing countries' problems, we will not be reading about a 100,000 beggars being removed from the streets of the Ethiopian capital in preparation of the Millenium celebration. This in a city where over 300 aid organization have their offices, the African Union headquarters and main UN African office are housed.

[huslas07]

haniayu15 u r damn rite we cant grow coz most of us habesha people we forget our problem and go seeking for others problem to talk about yea al ya nigaz includin masayie i though u wuz his boy now u hatin to get ur game up boyz

[haniayu15]

and what you do?????????? Exactly you ass hole

[haniayu15]

For all Ethio Peoples get the fucken life that's why we never grow!!!!!!!!!!!

Sammy my friend I love................ Your clip man, I think this guy makes one-step foreword to Ethio music. I gat -up my black ass and give you a hand my man. The more we do the better we got, if they don't like you in Ethio came in U.S. we always like here.

[mesayiye]

haniayu15. i think you and huslas07 are the same. i still donot understand why you love someone who just copy sombody elses music rather than writing his own music.

[huslas07]

byren7 coz am doin da same thing wat he iz doin expandin ethio hiphop homes

[OLFb2u]

[byrne76]

-olfb2u--oh- what an outstanding comment you have made right there,and i love your English,,,God bless,

[OLFb2u]

Billions and Billions was given in the name of poor people, more than any given time, but the poor is stranded more than ever and donated money is taking by the thugs personal banks and for Tigray development gimickes

[huslas07]

abeshoch wat da fuck samvod is doin a very good job he is expanding hip hop in ethiopia so why yo hatin yo need a fucken life fuckers

[byrne76]

huslas07--who are you to speak of his behalf?

[mhaimanot]

You should put you engine search to Africa American song this is not Ethiopian's music. Change your title you dame ass

[mhaimanot]

You piece of mind get technology and other educations do not try to put most horrible hip-hope culture to Ethiopian's culture. You should be embarrassed by yourself.
