[ShlomirBareket]

Just saw these guys live her in Melborn, australia, one of the first outposts of grunge., fuckn awesome, their new material is even more out-there. And I'm an old cunt, I've been to enough hiphops show to know. Skiphop is a con piece of crap. Get borned mang.

[snipersas]

I didn't realize this wasn't a song and I was like "what the fuck whats with all the arbitrary changes" haha. this sounds tight, gonna check it out

[tpatton89]

If Terrence Malick had grown up in the hood this is what the Tree of Life would have looked like

You can't lie to yourself.

[illicitetboon]

[Richishot2]

@naija4lifee From the same cd. 'Endeavors For Never'.

[naija4lifee]

@Richishot2 thank you SO much!

[rachealsfilms]

WOW, dope. Love this. Deep, meaningful n artistic.. y'all got vibe similar to Last Poets :) I see some familiar spots in the film, you in Brooklyn? Would love to collaborate

[lalax0lauren]

the most stunningly beautiful video

[MusicalEutopia]

I don't know why this video is so evocative. But it is.

[lamaquinadeLA]

This is bad.Weak shit pretending to be neu-age.Pretentious crap.

[Awesteez]

@lamaquinadeLA You're stupid as fuck, and this is over your head. In fact, it isn't pretentious in the slightest bit - it's music at it's purest and the lyrics are put simply but meaningfully.

If you really find this pretentious, you're fucking idiotic.

[Oldshirt]

@lamaquinadeLA 'Pretentious'... The rally cry of Youtube's most mentally challenged.

[JosephKnight93]

forget this year, this is the greatest hip-hop record of the last decade

[charltonch1234567]

@JosephKnight93 of all time.

[JelsenInnocent]

the future perfect.

[rainbxw]

Shabazz Palaces is on subpop records?!!...

[ToWhateverEnd55]

This is what happens when true, unadulterated creativity exists.

[MrBellender]

damn, i could start digging hip hop again.

[theneedledrop]

that poor piggy! :-(

[sammy10391]

They captured the feel of the album incredibly well here, great balance of the raw gritty hip hop with the weird experimental atmosphere a lot of the beats have, very impressed!

[seattletyrida]

Best video I ever seen! This should win video of the year at every award show.

[G0LDFOX]

Freedom, its a feeling.

[immitationation]

One of the most beautiful shorts I've seen all year. LOVE

[Jethrow44]

Black is free.

[nomerchetire]

best

[tidypeaches]

I love this so big.

[allstar2bein2023]

I love the visuals in this video.

[julaybeeb]

This is frickin' insane! So many dope shots! I especially love the dark empty warehouse with the skylight trails on either side. Fits the music snippets perfectly!

[nem700]

There's some other obscure Shabazz Palaces songs that i found. Check out 'Grimes x Shabazz Palaces' on youtube. And google 'Star Studded' and 'Lost Foundling'. Some rare grooves for all the heads.

[latexiceage]

@nem700  Thanks for the heads up, Star Studded is fucking amazing.

[CharifRocka]

Black Up!

[CharifRocka]

ALBUM OF THE YEAR! HANDS DOWN. BLACK UP!!!

[pijus123]

somehow reminds me Life in Loops

[greensicknesss]

fucking awesome, northwest represent!

[TJTroupe]

What kind of necklace is Ishmael wearing in the video around 1:09?

[jluck217]

shabazz transcends. gotta hear the records though. this is about a 2% teaser. stream the album vid.

[doc7114]

Really cool until the horse part. I feel like that was just trying too hard to be random...

[kriegerliebhaber]

from 0:15-0:58 is that a real song? if so what fuck is that song!!?

oh yeah...black up best of the year btw

[krrh]

@kriegerliebhaber I also want to know the answer to this question.

[nem700]

@krrh

the song is called bonny on a breakaway

[nem700]

@kriegerliebhaber

That song is called 'bonny on a breakaway'

[clickingsensorthing]

@kriegerliebhaber

that's part of "Bronny on a Breakaway" which wasn't on the CD for some reason.

[Sukany]

@kriegerliebhaber

Bop Hard / Bronny on Breakway

it's iTunes bonus track for Black Up. PEACE MATE

[kriegerliebhaber]

@Sukany thanks a lot dude!!!

[Jwelli19]

@kriegerliebhaber Bop Hard

[RoyceOrbison]

@kriegerliebhaber Bronny On A Breakaway rearranged with some added effects

[Chocothundr08]

@kriegerliebhaber It's called Bronny on a Breakaway (or Bop Hard), it's unreleased

[bodleiano]

@kriegerliebhaber "bronny on a breakaway (bop hard aka pilgrim marketing plan rebuttal take 7" u can get it on fairsharemusic where you can also get the first two eps for a couple of dollars.

[OnlyFearOfDeath]

@kriegerliebhaber that song is called Bronny on a Breakway. It's a extra song that is released only through itunes store.

[redfirebluecipher]

Superfantastic! Deep like the core of the 7th black hole. You will never escape "Him"!

[m40dotcom]

If all was right, this album would win Ish his 2nd Grammy for best rap performance by duo or group. Separated by 18 years. The videos visuals match the creativity the music already has, which I didn't think was possible. 

[astroblackable]

I'm traveling dimesions with this shit

[MikeAmoke]

wow



[bapesthief]

amazing

[taffydaleh]

<3

[scottholpainen]

Beautiful, trippy... love it. ALBUM OF THE YEAR. None better.

[OfficialPHANTOMS]

@scottholpainen Justice's better, sorry.

[TraceurRyuk]

@OfficialPHANTOMS

Are you being serious right now? That album was mediocre compared to other releases this year. For me, best album this year is between Black Up, Undun by The Roots, SBTRKT, The English Riviera by Metronomy, or LIVELOVEA$AP by Asap Rocky.

[OfficialPHANTOMS]

@TraceurRyuk I'm just a fan of Justice, that's why I see their album as the best. Nevertheless if I compare objectively, I'm ok to say Audio Video Disco is far from the best album of the year.

[TraceurRyuk]

@OfficialPHANTOMS

Fair enough.

[zainabadam]

Shabazz Palaces are the now!

[N3Pencil]

Dope indeed.

[MindMadeThis]

Thought it was for one song, tricked me. lol dope video
