[XxXxASTROZOMBIE5xXxX]

haha 0:18

OH SHIT YALL!

[ZeCockOfTheWalk]

what do you think would happen if busdriver and reggie watts started a band?

[yackon4game]

@ZeCockOfTheWalk I would OD on the awesome.

[mcgstudmuffin]

@ZeCockOfTheWalk

The world would implode.

[DaddyHatchable]

i should thank ceschi for turnin me on to busdriver. this guy is fcking epic. is he actually gay?

[ThePangolinman]

@DaddyHatchable look at his shirt the N in I <3 MEN is crossed out :)

[yackon4game]

Something about the way he moves is better than any dance style I've ever seen. It's like the music has taken over.

[chillskid]

This is the absolute best version.

[TheMannyv85]

That shit is mad fresh. Another one for the books.

[yackon4game]

I love how he gets so into it. 1:35 he reacts to the click like he's a part of the sound himself. Crazy

[yackon4game]

I saw him on that old blind date show and the chick said he was too boring and mellow. Well that idiot never saw him perform.

[thanape]

@yackon4game

peep this vide, they made it to knock that whack show... perfect song for it too..

2mex- i didnt mean to touch your hand

[nameless12345]

lol that jumper is hilarious

[mjb552]

i still cant get over how hes using close to the edge by yes

[CarrotJews]

Oh shi-

Busdriver's dick looks huge.

[Rider222]

Opinions are like assholes.......everyone has one! And in my opinion Busdriver is an awesome artist, no matter what anyone else thinks of him. It's about musical talent. Enough said.

[Rider222]

Fuck all the haters. They know they really love this. I personally believe this to be once of the best BUSDRIVER mixes ever. Period. Listen to it on replay again and again. ? is the new $.

[RexklessProductions]

Hes not gay if the story I read was correct they found those shirts on the road. At a gas station or something random like that and he wore it specifically only for this song because of the lyric connection. Even if he is gay who cares I'm homophobic myself but listen to this music goddamn One thing Busdriver had over 90% of rappers is original music.

[MrPizzookie]

I dont think he is gay because if you actually look at his shirt there is an x through N

[ChiefMcCloud]

He's playing a house party here in New Mexico on the 1st of March. It's going to be amazing.

[CCTSPORTES]

Hes livin the dream

[ewzr250]

i love me, hehehe nice shirt

[TheGreenPlague]

What a bad ass song. FUCK THE KIDS WITH TECHNOLOGY AUTO TUNES BS, YOU KIDS SUCK>

[blindingsun]

people REALLY need to stop asking if he's gay. he has a girlfriend and a daughter last time I asked Jesse Puente

[SteDeRaver]

Wow he managed to generate that much enthusiasm and passion with only the film crew?... wow...

[certifiedpet]

It says "I love me", busdrivers not gay dumbasses. He was on blind date, that means hes not gay.

[Dropthahate]

@certifiedpet i mean i see how the n is crossed out but i dont get it... explain

cuz then he goes on to say... "Gay is the new black"

[certifiedpet]

@Dropthahate I figured he was joking but lets assume busdriver is gay. Do his rhymes suck more now? Or are you just trollin?

[Dropthahate]

@certifiedpet haha nah i am gay and like the fact that he was empowering and repping my set.

[certifiedpet]

@Dropthahate Lol well maybe he is.

[keeblerlord]

is he gay?

[Pheenak]

taht shirt makes busdriver all the more amazing

[OlympusMons23]

Thank you... yeah.

[alexandthenoose]

does anyone know where to get that sweatshirt at? please help

[SamboJabba]

His jumper actually says i love me :D he crossed it out if u look closely.

Also best rapper alive.. good tune to get high too for some reason

[Cigarrock]

@SamboJabba you recognize he wouldn't even call himself the best rapper alive?

[SamboJabba]

@Cigarrock Well i think he is.. Am i not allowed my own opinion?

[cjwalken]

better than the recorded version

[Thursday000]

ah, this is everything i believe in wrapped in one

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

"I LOVE MEN" that takes guts to do that, especially with random people walking past. What heroes! :D

[ustinklikeggs]

lol@ the shirts

[albafool]

good break beat

[proni1]

this is too dope

[mutedmakequiet]

they stand by like bystanders until I...get down

they cant comply to my standards especially when I .. get down.

busdriver ftw!

[thanape]

awesome song, busdriver never bores me with his styles and lyrics. nice sweaters too lol!

[damessiah11]

i want to see busdriver vs mos def in a free style battle

[eatinpsilocybin]

AND anti-mc of course - your seamless man!

[eatinpsilocybin]

people take music this good for granted. rapping around that sample = pure fire. thanks busdriver, and entertainmentresearch.

[entertainmentresearc]

@eatinpsilocybin all we did was point the camera and watch the magic. shazam!

[eatinpsilocybin]

@entertainmentresearc what is really cool is i JUST got the fact that your team filmed this...even better. you were there to witness it. it literally belongs in a time capsule. you know aliens rock this track. THANKS AGAIN!

[thanape]

@entertainmentresearc

and how magical it was.

the city looks pretty vacant at this hour.

\!!!/ from Cali

[proni1]

project blowed alumni!

[dnbcog0789]

Underground hip-hop is faceless.....completely different from mainstream rap music.

[LoveHugsnHipHopSoul]

@dnbcog0789 "Underground Hip-Hop is faceless"

Lol, you must be a fan of MF Doom. Cool.

[xxstaggerxx]

I would love to see busdriver live. I usually don't like rap but as a musical artist the music he makes is amazing. I love it. Busdriver doesn't need no fuckin autotune. He has so much talent

[entertainmentresearc]

@xxstaggerxx well said

[napkinshower]

@xxstaggerxx wow i agree with you 100%. im a creative musical lover and the stuff he makes is crazy and completely abstract and beyond creative. really good stuff.

[thamotherflippin]

bus has got styles that culture lackin blowed slackin boobtubers will never comprehend...

[TheIcyFlame]

is anyone there??

[entertainmentresearc]

@TheIcyFlame just the film crew

[yackon4game]

@TheIcyFlame and you

[jakeyballa8]

it says he loves me cuz the n is crossed out

[madhatte73]

Busdriver pretty much rules.  End of story.

[ManlaiSadis]

what year was this?

[entertainmentresearc]

@ManlaiSadis 2007

[ManlaiSadis]

wow.thanks.thought it's some old school stuff.this opened my eyes.hip hop at the best.

[AintGotSkillz]

That is an amazing fuck shirt. That aside, this song is great.

[camarosstb]

i saw the x late

[camarosstb]

hes gay?

[entertainmentresearc]

no.

[TheIcyFlame]

@entertainmentresearc was he performing to an empty crowd? is that why he went all epileptic? its an awesome song but he was moving weird as hell and the dj looked awkward

[blindingsun]

@camarosstb he has a girlfriend and a daughter from what i'm aware

[eatinpsilocybin]

@camarosstb look closer - the N in MEN is crossed out with sharpie = I LOVE ME.

[verbalbatters]

@camarosstb no he's not. check the shirt more closely and there's a red "X" over the "n"

[SICKXPIN742]

@camarosstb the shirt has the n crossed off. says i <3 ME but see hes also sending a message with that shirt. and his song. busdriver is a genius

[blindingsun]

@camarosstb no he's not gay... he's got a girlfriend and a kid... 

[drjacklint]

@camarosstb it clearly has the "N" crossed out..so the sweater states "I heart ME"

[MrShiftowns]

@camarosstb he has a girlfriend and a daughter

[xthatkidx]

@camarosstb the n is crossed out.

It says I love me

[D0ughboythegreat]

aw yea 100th person to rate.... damn i love this song i wish he had this instead of studio

[entertainmentresearc]

nice!!

[gomezadam]

hey man an instramental would be dope

[maliciousxx88]

the beat is way better than the studio version. he should re-record it like this.

[entertainmentresearc]

nice. sometimes you get stuff live that you wou;dn't in the studio. pretty cool!

[killerwolfchild]

He's amazing i saw him live!! He is sooo awesome!!!

[jaydur22]

1:28 is sick when he changes his voice

[mutedmakequiet]

for some reason i cannot stop watching this video.

its like an out of body alien hiphop experience. especially if you try to get the lyrics :P

[mutedmakequiet]

@mutedmakequiet

why did i get voted down? why did everyone get voted down? wtf is going on? this is a fuckin genius video.

[Kohllikesnachos]

Someone is goin around -1'ing all the comments. No idea why. But you're right, its an epic performance!

[DanGoedeker]

I bet its Bus himself. Seems like something he would do.

[mutedmakequiet]

@DanGoedeker

wow. now that would be awesome. i doubt he would be bothered. :P

[jetma90]

haha " I <3 Me \n/ what a great shirt. ima find that and just paint out the N lol

[Roney408]

People.

The N on the shirt is crossed out

I <3 Me

[auzio]

[HipHoff]

and about the shirt: would gay people wear that? they are the SHIT!

[auzio]

women would wear it. haha

[blindingsun]

@auzio ur mom's gay

[4fossa]

lol he is in a boner? look @ his pants

[twhichy]

Busdriver's ROADKILLOVERCOAT is awesome, one of the best rap albums ever. The next album isn't as good but has some good tracks.

[HipHoff]

i agree, me-time is great off course ;) but the rest of the album is less good than previous albums... still way better than the average!

[Stirrethcharybdis]

Oh yeah, btw busdriver has more enthusiasm in his live show than any other rapper I've ever seen.

[Stirrethcharybdis]

that shirt is hilarious

[proni1]

those shirts are priceless

[ohgeezus]

Project Blowed is the Best Ever besides GoodLife....why....becauseOhge­ezus says so.....

[mutedmakequiet]

his shirt says

"i love me"

the n is crossed out!

[DenisFreeman2]

holy shit his shirt totaly scared me! i almost thaught he was gay XD

[logan1373]

this is the best rapper ever i have all his stuff he is great and his new stuff just keeps getting better i love busdriver plus he is full blown against nwo so if u dont like it your missing out this man is real as it gets

[seerway]

Everything about this is entertaining. This is incredible music, original, funny, thoughtful. And seriously, those shirts? I LOVE THESE MEN

[HipHoff]

Imma co-sign you seerway, perfect comment for an even more perfect song and performance

[dingles4breakfast]

@seerway The N is me is crossed off.

So it reads "I <3 ME".

[dingles4breakfast]

@seerway

Fiddlepricks wrong dude.

[Cigarrock]

YES!!!!!!!!! close to the edge, tis the song.

[soultronx10]

Oh my god.

[joeylexblain]

Now that's talent

[jimmy8snowcones]

nigga gets amped live, would love to see him, hope he coms to mass

[dingles4breakfast]

Real talk, BusDriver gets into his shit like nobody I've ever seen. Except for ODB, but he was feeling a lot of other vibes if you know what I mean.

Peace.

[jimmy8snowcones]

if people thought about their verses and less on shitty hooks that are blasted in clubs, then hip hop wouldnt be dead. im glad busdrivers here to stand up and say MOTHERFUCKING WHAT NOW MAINSTREAM RAP?

[entertainmentresearc]

Well said!

[dingles4breakfast]

I love that fucking shirt.

[mercurymixer]

that remix is BANANAS!!!

[stukeybear]

pure bliss

[FlannelFrenzy]

better than the studio version

[mjf1993]

agreeed

[DjhiGhTec8o8]

Is he on something, i'd like to get some of that lol

[klup]

so fucking nasty. havent heard this in a minute

[smallcretzuli]

THIS is fucking hip-hop.

[derkaderka187]

Troglodyte wins because you voted in a defrosted cromagnum man

[fighter58693]

where can i get that sweater!!!!!!!!!!!!

[devinkk]

supposedly it's a WETSEAL sweatshirt...so in the mall or something

[nikeskater416]

might be an american apparel shirt, i think i saw them in there

[AnalfredFistcock]

great performance.. 5 stars!!

[claytonbrock]

he's huge.

[entertainmentresearc]

i totally agree! looks like his new record is called "Jhelli Beam" and will be out on Anti Records 6/9 of this year. can't wait! cover art and track listing is on their site. check it out. cheers, matt

[sfa2]

Excellent!

[ModestDeathFish]

I figure with the sweatshirts that they fit perfectly with the lyrics and themes of "Roadkill Overcoat." The "I <3 Men" is in reference to the lyric "Gay is the new Black" and the "I <3 Me" is more of an overall theme in the record, casting ironic shadows of the kind of self-importance in Hollywood / The Music Industry etc.

Either way, absolutely amazing musician and performer. By far my favourite rapper of all time. When does his new CD come out?

[THEEXTREMETEAM23]

thats exactly what i thought

[tikocal]

Bus will always be an under-rated artist until he begins he gets to rap like the other cliche' 50 cent, g unit, lil wayne rappers!

[entertainmentresearc]

so true, so true. let me say again that busdriver is amazing!

[kylewitak]

if you want to know so bad, just ask him. Jesus jumping jack horse shit. what the fuck does it matter either way? man RIPS the mic, that's what this is about

[marcosesco]

nice shirt

[ProStyleHH]

wheres the sample "get down" of the hook from?

[pretaproject]

Yes's "Close to the Edge"

[ICreamsodAI]

Busdriver is amazing

[entertainmentresearc]

read the other posts

[2tonsoup]

im not sure if hes just making some sort of statement, being weird (himself), or if he's actually gay

[Dannemana]

Look closer. The N in "men" is crossed out. So it reads I <3 ME instead.

[2tonsoup]

i noticed that, it just may have more then one meaning.

also why are people thumbs downing me? homophobes.

[travism420]

i love this song// so good live too/

ps lil waynes a joke. that fool dont deserve any respect.

busdriver on the other hand is the future of music

[melinko0662]

damn fucking right hes better than lil wayne

[l1gw1g0n311]

SO GOOD!

Check out All the Saints at this studio also.

ATL

[junit7]

People are blind and obviously don't understand sarcasm (especially when it's laid on thick)

He's not gay, if you look at the sweater you can clearly see the letter "N" is slashed with a red line.

[2tonsoup]

im still not convinced 100% his lyrics also. i thought that even before i saw this video

[spoon149]

better than lil wayne thats for sure

[lookitslexxx]

look at his dick! hha

[WazupMyNinja]

faggot

[Werock4roll]

this guys fucking hilarious. That shirt is just making me laugh. Even with everyone calling each other gay Way too much this guy puts on this "i love men" shirt and its making me laugh my ass off. Lolz i wantz one

[HipHopIsGood]

the funniest part is that it says i heart ME

[RustyGonzo]

The shirt is ironic, people. He's not gay.

[entertainmentresearc]

thank you for clearing this up! the music is the most important thing anyway.

[dooditsliz]

I'm down with that for sure, this guys awesome, i just wanted to figure out for sure cause i can't find alot of stuff about him on the internet

[blindingsun]

just for the gay questions... he is married with a daughter

[hiphopjamalian]

No, he was never married, but he does have a daughter...who is the granddaughter of Samuel Fuller!

[sveet11]

I fucking love him

[Agendaman2]

Is he gay?
