MF Doom - Arrow Root

[soulintent777]

forget all

nothings normal and all is original

[smthaxter]

just found my new ringtone

[NY411son]

if u guys got a chance, hear Nujabes music; this here reminds me of that dude a hell of lot

[drumforlife720]

LOOK!!! GO TO RAINYMOOD . COM THEN COMEBACK AND REPLAY THIS AFTER GETTING VOLUME EQUAL

[THNF89]

@drumforlife720 Chill as fuck

[drumforlife720]

@THNF89 Yup.. Another great one with the rainymood thing is a track called "Cab Fare" by "Souls of Mischief" definitely check that out

[Bayfotter]

Ah fuck this is dope. Jazzy beats makes such a soul

[BBFOXHOUND]

reminds me of nujabes ,fuck man, rip

[ThisIsDeltronZer0]

fuck man.

I dont know how Doom does it..

[4AFR]

dope

[MrBlackwings87]

sittin in the middle of nowhere kind of sets of the thought process, so i tend to type em down and sometimes myself i impress. just my book of rhymes its where i blow of steam, my stress. in the past i've been cold i must confess. can't really say i've given these women my best, i do love em but i know soon they'll join the rest. don't get me wrong i take them out, care for them and compliment them on their way of dress.

[MrBlackwings87]

but there's always something missing, no glow, or incandesce-hence i can see the end at the start, at the finish line i glare. sort of reminiscent of the tortoise and the hare. i'm way to far ahead so i drag my feet with no care. not knowing at the end of the day i'll be in dispair. consider this a flare in in dark skies, a real man standing up amongst all these so called tough guys.

[DuttonWebb]

I think you got the title wrong. Arrow root starts out "the darkness falls away to morning"

[CJAC5]

Smooth

[BeatzOnCleatz]

I got hooked to this shit immediately after i heard it. Music really is like a fuckin drug lol and i love it

[theguydoingyourmom]

That 1 dislike in the dislike button is the dislike button in self, it clicked it self because he hated that he had to work for this youtube video.

[jacksradiocomm1]

Thorough... & this beat never stales.

[AsiLayFlyying]

favorite producer

MF Doom

Nujabes

[MrSocom1112]

Whats open when I look to new experience is a mind

not tryin to be deleterious to my well being/,

but sometimes habits they run deep and sometimes I miss things that are worth seeing/

with eyes wide I analyze with pride underlying processes manifest an emergent presence/

Overblown is scope, are your ideas, and people they look at you, say nope/

ignore reality, and truths a bore right? As population size magnifies aberrancy might you step aside i've arrived lives change, vibration exchange

[esthebeatprovider]

My homie 4ziatic with the classic uploads, it's your homie es.

[Idlerbeats]

Whenever I listen to MF DOOM instrumentals I get hungry ; )

[itakeyouthere]

[HipHophoney2]

[JustinBanks]

one of my fave beats ever. EVER.

[kaminky]

for anyone into jazzy hip hop instrumentals check out what's coming outta japan: uyama hiroto, nujabes, nomak ... the 90s got organized konfusion, black moon, EPMD out of new york... it's truly ALL GOOD

[4ziATiC]

Co-sign; R.I.P. Nujabes though.

[drumforlife720]

@4ziATiC i bow down to you for puttin this track up, seriously im bowing down right now to look at the kwyboard i dont got my contacts in

[wonietang123]

@kaminky Nice for the heads up. I'd never heard of these producers b4, but bumber raas they're deep. Just got hold of at least one album each for them.

[TheSweetestSymphony]

@kaminky I check out Nujabes, I'll check out the others, but dang his work is amazing. Thanks for the reference man!

[charlzidisghey]

@kaminky organized konfusions the shit

[mrmastermorality]

@kaminky yo you dont have any right to give names like that out

[DekaMAnJordan]

This shit went so well with him and Nas (NastraDOOMus).

[MikeFoiseyy]

this is not arrow root

[Cubanito884]

@MikeFoiseyy yes it is, the actual box set tracklist is messed up.

[crystalmccutie]

Memory lane..like a subway floor.

[colombiansRul3s]

i dont like the jazz type hip hop that much.. im more into blues influenced hip hop

[LABreeze2287]

i could never get enough of this 1

[garlen]

when they use to play good music on Adult Swim

[USDApproved]

EASILY THE BEST

[sublime95]

Doom needs to rap over this beat. Whatever, whenever this sick beat plays on my Ipod I just freestyle over it. But I'd rather hear Doom do it.

[Vangoughman1217]

@sublime95 Doom made these beats to inspire the artist in your self so keep freestyling to them. Its hard not to want to lay a nice verse to beats like this

[Profilaktiks]

had to download this. If anyone else wants it send a shout to Freeyourmind[at]gmail

[arceus37]

dude can you message me a download for everything? I'm really in a bad spot with money so I can't buy it yet. but if you can that would be awesome. I've tried finding it and I can't find the instrumentals.

[GangsterGumbo]

This isn't Arrow Root. This is Elder Blossom. Where the fuck is Arrow Root?

[spykez]

You don't know your DOOM.

And you obv don't know how to read either.

[GangsterGumbo]

@spykez Listen up there boy wonder. It was a simple question. One more remark like that, and I'll sex you up bad peepee touch style. I was asking because I went onto Amazon to download it, and it was titled Elder Blossom. Sorry I got my facts from such a reliable source. I would also, in one word or less, like you to describe to me just where in the hell you got the idea that I was unable to read. Because CLEARLY I can if I stated "This isn't Arrow Root" jackass.

[GangsterGumbo]

@spykez PS: One more utterly douchebaggerish comment like that, and I will embarrass you. I'm not saying the rest of the youtube populous will care... but you will. Because, with my "not knowing Doom", it would be hard to fathom the idea of me destroying you in his very own lyric style. Test my pants kid, test 'em.

[spykez]

Woah eleven months ago, sorry for the late reply but holy shit you must feel fucking stupid. You don't know how to read cause the uploader has explained it in EVERY TRACK he's uploaded in the description AND in the comments, including this one. This is Arrow Root now, was Arrow Root eleven months ago. And duuuu you're threatening to slaughter me over the internet with the same lyrical style as DOOM is this a joke i dont even. sorry for the belligerence but fuck man!

[GangsterGumbo]

Lol, 11 months? Come on man... you get a sudden drop-o-the-gonads or something?

[spykez]

Older than you boo.

[GangsterGumbo]

@spykez I accept that

[Gonjasufi]

@4ziATiC this sounds like a sample. like seriously

[4ziATiC]

I know man but truth be told NOBODY has ever posted the true sample (that is if there actually is one). If you check the Next Levels video on youtube you'll find comment spreading all the way back to 2007 asking the same exact thing. The source of the sample is probably really obscure. Try checking 1970 piano riffs lol.

[nojusticenoweed]

@4ziATiC what u talkin...of course its sampled lol

[freestylelegalized]

@4ziATiC

so many stuff is ripped from vinyl, you don't find that stuff on the internet.

[Gonjasufi]

WHAT IS THE SAMPLE. PLEEASE.

[RaGInBaLLeR23]

if you love this beat and hip hop , check out black dove- vivacious . he absolutely murders this track , u wnt be disapointed. check it out

[XxSwaggaJacksonxX]

@RaGInBaLLeR23 Thats funny shit, know that this comments old but I heard that song and I all I said was "This is absurd." Week later find this playlist and this song. Bur everyone to see it now, look up Black Dove-Vivacious, kills it.

[sopl99]

@4ziATiC this has to be sampled, probly off some old instrumental record

[narcoze]

stuck on repeat

[juiceville]

what is this original sample??

[theinfamous1efcuttin]

@juicevilleThe Piano and Horn loop came from Amad Jamal A Jazz Legend Just peep some of his stuff.

[grandmasterp1]

@theinfamous1efcuttin What ahmad jamal record is that?? Would be much appreciated!

[juiceville]

@theinfamous1efcuttin cheers im familiar with his stuff, has a massive catalog. what exact tune is it and is that an album title 'A jazz legend'?

[mikey0892]

so good, anyone know anythin else calming like this please share

[4ziATiC]

Some mellow jazz would do, but check out Dela - We Will B Free. He's another Hip Hop producer, not really known but the track is great. Draws jazz influences as well.

[mikey0892]

@4ziATiC lol i just discovered that song at about the same time i discovered this one lol but thanks anyway

[JJack887]

@4ziATiC Hey man, I just want to say thank you for mentioning Dela. I find his music enchanting and I would have NEVER heard of him if it weren't for you, man. Thanks!

[webz13]

@4ziATiC yea i also listen to him he's got sum raw songs

[andrewcramer13]

@mikey0892 I was just saying the same thing my head. so good

[DestroySweater]

@mikey0892 a tribe called quest.

[Cubanito884]

@mikey0892 how about some Nujabes? He's probally the most calming when it comes to a slice of Jazzy Hip-Hop, check him out, btw he died this year, RIP

[1Savioso1]

@mikey0892

strange fruit project, although Dela comes closer

[JordiSmulders]

@mikey0892

Check out the album Shades of blue from Madlib. Really great instrumental jazz/hiphop album. All the songs are from the famous Blue note jazz label. Doom also has worked alot with Madlib btw.

[widerling]

@mikey0892 Repflife, Full Crate, Slackah the beatchild, Dj Mitsu, Nujabes, Bluntmosphere, 14kt, The Nonce, Afta1, Grooveman Spot, Mndsgn, Kscope, Elaquent, Kissey Asplund, Flying Lotus, Ahu. This are just a few I enjoy. Let me know if you like any of them, you might even be familiar with some of them.

[jakedoering]

@mikey0892 Listen to Pete Rock and J Dilla. If you like jazz definitely check out Robert Glasper, he's probably contributing more to hip hop than any other name in jazz right now.

[jkgr33]

fucking sick ass track, timeless, one of my favorite all time. i can't give it enough justice with words right here.

[jayjumponit]

This trak's called Elder Blossoms, Arrow Root is track 1

[4ziATiC]

No it isn't. The Box Set was initially printed with a completely wrong tracklist back in 2006, and the corrected tracklists on wikipedia and various sites still have some slight errors. Everything on iTunes is wrong because nobody cares to fix it lol.I own every Special Herbs Cd..Arrow Root is track 2 on Special Herbs Vol. 2, and Elder Blossoms is track 7 on Special Herbs Vol. 3. Those songs (first time of publication) were matched up with the box set tracks, this is Arrow Root.

[jayjumponit]

Yeah realized this shortly after commenting, sorry!

It's mad cause most of the time mis-named tracks on youtube are down to downloading stuff with the wrong tracklisting, not too often it's wrong on the actual CD and spreads from there

[whatevrthefuck1]

@4ziATiC yo where did u cop the special herbs box set vol 0-9

[GangsterGumbo]

@4ziATiC You may very well be right, but I checked Amazon, AND Pandora, and they both recognize this as the beat of Elder Blossom.

[FiveStarMe]

dude 4ziatic already said the track names were mislabeled. I actually have special herbs vol. 1 & 2 and this is Arrow Root...all of his videos are right. he even said in the comment above itunes and shit like that is fucked up and hes right. If you search "arrow root" on youtube you'll get the same track from the original special herb cd with 155k views. This is "arrow root", not "elder blossoms".

[GangsterGumbo]

@FiveStarMe I stated at the very begining of my comment "You may very well be right." So, I'm not saying he's wrong... it may have BEEN Arrow Root, but that is where it ends. If every music source known to man, including multiple fortune 500 companies, recognize this as Elder Blossom, and zero of them recognize it as Arrow Root, then I am sorry, it is undeniably Elder Blossom. The tracklist was misprinted. Would that not be a correct statement?

[4ziATiC]

Hey man. I understand what you're saying but you're missing one huge thing. This track was released in 2002 (four years before the Special Herbs Box Set). That was it's ORIGINAL PUBLICATION, and this beat was universally known as Arrow Root. The same exact thing goes for Elder Blossoms as well. When the Box Set was released these weren't the only two tracks that were switched up - there was A LOT and everyone who listened to DOOM prior noticed it.

[4ziATiC]

I matched up every single one of the beats I uploaded with it's original (from the Solo Herb CD's). I actually own the physical CD where this track is labeled as Arrow Root. That is it's true name. You said that every company recognizes this as Elder Blossoms, but what you don't understand is that you're looking at the BOX SET. I'll make it a lot easier for you and just say this - Go back to Amazon, search "Special Herbs, Vols. 1-2", preview "Arrow Root" and tell me what you hear.

Peace.

[GangsterGumbo]

@4ziATiC So, due to an asshat somewhere out there in the world with a thumb up his ass, this track actually goes by both titles (depending on which album you refer to). Allowing this debate to go on and on forever and ever. As it was origonally titled "Arrow Root", and is titled "Elder Blossom" on the more recent album. As I am sure this NOT the first, nor the last time that this debate has or will occure... hmmm... let's just call it "Arrow Blossom" and E-hug.

[macflow14]

@4ziATiC Do you know if the cd special herbs 0-9 are in Spain or only there are in USA

yOU research the good music I liked

I say: YOU RESEARCH : YOU FIND GOOD MUSIC

peace

[ImbiboLibido]

This is my fav Doom track--that walking bass after the jazz piano riff is dope beyond measure. Respect for postin this, mayne. This track's meant a lot to me for a long time; it's nice to surrender to this subway ride down memory lane.

[SharkaIsGayy]

nicely put

[iansquared3]

that was like poetry

[BasementBeginnings]

@ImbiboLibido Hell yes. I didn't even know what it is called, lol. Doo-doot doot.
