Rhymefest | "Stolen" | Directed by Konee Rok

[TheGlobalMisfit]

These visuals are INCREDIBLE!!! Combined with 'Fest's wordplay this is a monster combo. Shame that I'm just now seeing this, I'm a true Chi supporter. Props to the director too.

[1qalo92ws]

REAL SHIT I SAID!!!!! BET HE PAID FOR THIS OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET, I KNOW DAM WELL THE LABEL AIN'T GONNA GET BEHIND THIS,CANT MARKET THIS TO MIDDLE CLASS WHITE KIDS, HA HA LOL

[rockiesbandwagon]

why do you think he talks about the war and just mentions jay z and 50????? lol think about that kid

[Beyondlife7]

Yo, WTF,,, This Rhymefest Dude, is FIYAH,,, Yo SuN, this Dude is Hip-Hop... The lyrics is yo,,, I am happy to hear shit like this, Hip-Hop is Alive, Kill that rap Bullshit....BIG Ups

[dyett7]

i.love.it

[OLIRISH]

shit like this dont get play because we might actually begin to think about the world as a whole

[D0wN2EaRthDiva]

Im shook to my core I love the message but the way it was shown spoke volumes

[NoRageImAPage]

Listening to these lyrics is like symbolism is punching me in the face.

[DOnotCLICKmyMEE]

another song that should hav been on el che

[thespursareadynasty]

@DOnotCLICKmyMEE I KNOw!!! i bought that album just cuz of this song and "give it to me" and neither of them were on the album. (the remix was. not as gud tho)

[GmanPlaistowE13]

Rhymefest is DEEP

!

[MrBeatyoass]

Most of the hip hop I love and grew up with wasn't on the radio. We used to complain then, why the ill MC's couldn't get airplay. I "discovered" this song on the internet, just like I used to discover other artist in the 80's and 90's, by reading the cassette tape jackets. This song represents what I miss about hip hop. A deeper meaning and topics that made me stop and think. Keep doing it rhymefest!

[MajesticKG]

Rhymefest has always been ill. One thing about him is that his rhymes are deep and they make you think. And right now, I'm in deep thought.

[HCGism]

I can digg it Tru life

[hek718]

this video is sick! dope shit!!

[selftheory01]

wow

[Timo710]

man, I think you should take that sample at the end, singing "african gold mountain" and take that part to the next level at the ending of the song, I was REALLY feeling that part.

[thakozhani]

word life...

[icecoldxox]

I just discovered this jam..... very nice. I was wonderin what hes implyin by mentioning jay-z and 50....

[DENKNESH]

maybe because jayz and 50 embodies and glorifys the lifestyle that africa is suffering for. (Diamonds)

[atilahut]

The world is introduced to big artist like 50 cent and Jay z so they are known world wide. So the songs they make about killin people and sellin drugs reaches people all across the board. Basically what DENKNHESH said.

[screamaaron18]

good song, but wtf is with the kid snort-laughing?

kinda threw me off a bit.

[Elcheech]

seems to me like the laughter represents the innocence that is lost when these children are used as soldiers ...

[ConfusedTrap]

Death rules and consumes

God had Doomed you

And one lil cry will entomb you

Damn, thats deep shit

[msundastood34]

I would like to personally thank the two of you: Rhymefest and Konee Rock for allowing my daughter to be a part of this. Thank you for educating those who do not know!!!

[zapatista512]

Assalamualaykum Deep.. love ya Rhymefest! Don't ever stop man

[BrotherSkillz]

@zapatista512 wA ALAIKUM salam brother 4 real :)

[hillbill94]

any1 no where this can be downloaded or where i can get the cd

[benslooking4junk]

10 seconds in and bam! Straight to my fave list!

[z3ll58]

i think this is the best pound for pound rap song out there

[spaceusagi]

Damn that was good. I just got excited for the new album

[SURtifiediLL]

I'm Jockin' Jay-Z

[g0ddard]

i hadnt watched this in a minute but everytime i come back to it im like daaayummm

[Raww89]

clazayy ass video

[IndustryUnderground]

Dam Konee, Ya'll Snapped With This!

[DPUHonorScholars]

Radiohead, most prominently, released their last album"In Rainbows" as a pay-what-you like download.  At some levels of payment receive physical product (20$ for vinyl, 60$ for special edition boxed set or something) Anyway, I completely agree; the artist ought reap the reward of their ability and labor.

I'd gladly throw down 15 greenbacks to support legitimate poetry and subvert corporate control of marginalized art.

[gladiadorextremo]

nice this is a real song support these real artist because they will die out and solja boi rap will take over

[tnature01]

This is goin to b some crazy album... the lyrics, message and all are totally dope. i think only rhymefest can outdo himself and he might just do it with his upcoming album 'EL CHE'....

1 luv rhyme...

[DaComebakKid]

i understand nobody buy albums anymore cauzz

faggots try to make one catchy single and expect people to buy their bullshit

but blue collar is worth da $14.99 spent cauzz of its "lyrical" content. da state of hiphop is compexe and i dont like it

[TimeKoder13]

nah, he should sell it himself for $5.99, 8.99 whatever and keep all the money minus production cost. F tha labels. didn't some rock band put they shit out and tell they fans to paypal whatever they wanted and they came off?

[ecz206]

yeah I think it was soundground, the idea was amazing, its kinda crazy to think about where hip-hop would be if cash never came into it, the good and the bad

[DirtHouse863]

dont lie you know you stole that shit just like everyone else lmao

[hamocon2]

Cool video!

[Neelyboy99]

"guttin babies like jelly fish, for the diamonds that i wear what kind of hell is this" damn these lyrics are 100x hotter than any lyrics on the radio

[stephenos]

@Neelyboy99 for real man i wish just one friggin radio station would play hip-hop like this not lil wayne every 10 fuckn minutes

[Ktadie]

Great song. This is what the mainstream should be playing all the time, great hiphop with a meaning and a message.

not all the mtv bullshit.

[legendkillermike]

No it's better if they don't because once great artist get into the mainstream it seems like it's just human nature for people to begin hating the artist because he/she all the sudden has more 0's to their name. Why spo people do this I don't understand.

[AKChiTribe]

koneerok doin it big!

[jackal521]

When does El Che come out?

[freedo5000]

His name is Che Smith.

[Conscious]

Good stuff...!

[JoelJoel1991]

[SuicideFriendly]

Mike

[masshysteriahiphop]

Mike

MASS HYSTERIA

[bgirlkatastrophe]

Nice work Konee the vid is dope. Keep up the good work.

Kat

[JoyKatzman]

This is so powerful. I thank God that you have a social consciousness. And, Rhymefest, too. My heart is bursting with pride for you both. Dave, your creative talents have showcased Rhymefest as the artist he is: a man with gravity, maturity, social awareness and the cajones to tell it like it is--that no matter how much we complain about how bad we have it, someone else has it worse. I love you! Mom

[JoyKatzman]

Oh, and Davey J, it's nice to know you can draw something else besides Spiderman!

Love, Mom

[Dashcut]

Kanye and Nas made it and they did talk about serious issues. And further if you are from the 'hood' then you are bound to Africa, because all of Africa's problem is that of the hood on a larger scale.

[Dashcut]

Rhymefest is a conscientious rapper, he is of that class with inspirational motives, lyrical proficiency and narrative cleverness. He is of the kind of Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Common and such. Anyone who cannot appreciate their craft does not have the maturity to grasp anything beyond Dr. Seuss.

[ShaolinDrunkenMonkey]

I know now that effu2 isn't on the streets because if brothers are getting paid then they woulda been out off the street years ago. If they were getting paper then they wouldn't be getting killed over the pursuit of paper. Your some pig-ignorant shit effu2 if you say you don't care about the people of Africa. I'm not even of African origin (a little more towards the right on the map) and I still find the message to be powerful. This song has a universal relevance.

[Rchoise]

this nigga is making it, This is a song with POWER!! not about hoes and shit like that. We need more rappers like this.

AFRICA IN OUR SOUL NIGGAS!!!!

[dubkwon]

damn. this is some powerful shit

[trugodwarrior]

I wish these youngstas would open up their ears instead of relying on their eyes so much..God Message for his people..

[slimthebarber]

nice one Konee, Fest, Intel. Yeah!

[lulz666f]

Music with meaning. You don't hear this kind of stuff much, anymore.

[ScholarforTruth]

It's also why you don't hear much from Rhymefest. He's great nonetheless.

[feliciayvette]

Awesome video. Good work to all. :)

[capone773]

oh and by the way money isnt paper its a cloth....stay in school =)

[MadManDan]

fuckainternetniggahoebitchcock­suckingfaggotbitchnigga

IBN da streetz 24/7 u bum ass niggaz

[ShaolinDrunkenMonkey]

Open your eyes and expose yourselves to the truth. Money isn't shit when we all die.

[ShaolinDrunkenMonkey]

This is reality that Rhymefest is showing and I congratulate him for his efforts, it's really paying off. effu2 you're ignorant because your not seeing the real point of this video- so many brothers in the street are complaining about how hard life is but people around the world are suffering a lot more than us. Cool, if you want to keep on blasting lollipop then go ahead no-one told you to watch this video in the first place; nobody wanted to know whether Fest is "paid" as you put it.

[effu2]

i see the point, but niigas ain't geetin that paper. if it ain't about money i ain't really trying to hear it. i don't care what them african niggas got beef for, i hope they beefin over that doe. shit, life is hard in the street and my hood, i got niggas that died in the streets my nigga. and i watched the video cuz i saw the link, you just mad cuz the song is wack and this broke nigga don't got no swag.

[lm1991]

[effu2]

he ain't seeing jeezy or plies, this nigga soft.

[capone773]

nigga you soft jeezy is wack should call that nigga cheezy you dont know real hip hop

[effu2]

real hip hop is about hustling and grinding, and being hot in the streets. this nigga rhymefest ain't hot in the strrets.  there's only a few niggas seein jeezy jeezy and plies right now, my nigga weezy and rick ross, but ross might be a snitch, i don't know.

[panthersback]

you got shit twisted my brotha. you don't even get the message.sad

[effu2]

the only message i know is get money nigga, wtf are u about. if you not gettin paper, you's a lame ass broke nigga.

[mostknown2]

your an idiot. if you knew anything about hip hop or how it originated you would know hip hop is not about being hot in the streets. mature a little bit then then come back and make a comment. you clearly dont understand anything about hip hop, everything you know has been marketed to you.

[effu2]

how am i an idiot nigga, u talking about that old bullshit, it's a new day. all i know is what's hot in the streets, and jeezy and plies is hot on the streetz. all yall haters need to stop hatin all the dam time.

[panthersback]

haters... man stop with that overused word please. young cats is dying for blocks they don't even own. you disgust me man. real talk

[effu2]

u is a hater, nigga please. niggas die in the grind, they do what they gotta do to get that paper, u can't hate on that. that's some real shit, cuz the nigga that own the block gotta die wit it. u gotta be willin to die for that paper if you really in the grind.

[spaceusagi]

niggas die out on the streets because they think its easier and faster than going to school and getting a job. They don't have to sell and grind to get that paper. I have been to countries where people really HAVE to grind to get paper. I get tired of hearing that tired ass line from people here in the US shit is sweet here i don't care what hood you from, im from the hood too. I went to school got and got a job.

[effu2]

nigga u just mad cuz u a lame. the real niggas is out there gettin that paper, keep hatin.

[panthersback]

yo 4real i hope you live a full life. ignorance is a cancer.

[effu2]

hatin is a cancer too

[panthersback]

yo son u aint from the streets. i know u aint. u sound like u just got on with hip hop.lol

[effu2]

i lived in the hood my whole life, and i been lisening to hip since 83. u homo ass nigga, keep hatin bitch.

[Anjolow]

hip hop is about self expression

[effu2]

it is about expression, that's why jeezy and weezy is at the top.  they expressing that shit the streets wanna hear.

[panthersback]

Don't give me that sellout bullshit. Its about sellout television and you know what station I'm talking about. I'm tired of these cats exploiting the black community for their wealth. And you condone this bullshit.

[effu2]

you just mad cuz u broke and don't get pussy. listen to some jeezy, u might get more hoes.

[mostknown2]

the streets dont want to hear about lollipops and shit. thats how i know your fake. only white kids in nice homes and girls want that shit. thats why its hot. that shit they talk about like being in the club is not an expression or reality in the streets.

[effu2]

lol, u not in the streets. cuz niggas i know, and niggas in my hood is feelin that. plus those hoes love that lolipop song. yall niggas need to go to the club and chill wit some bitchez.

[mostknown2]

lol once again you come with some dumb shit. you talkin about the streets. the clubs are full of rich kids, the street dudes aint in the clubs. you were talkin about the streets. if you want real street music you well not find it in jeezy or wayne. lol waynes a fake blood that kissed a guy. jeezy sounds like a retard and rick ross was a cop or something. lol yeah thats real street. and are you a bitch, why would you like that shit if you not

[effu2]

what clubs you talkin bout? i'm in the hood, at the clubs hood niggas go to. it's ok though, keep hatin, it only makes me stronger.

[capone773]

yo man stop trying to boast and listen to the song again listen to what he saying money isnt important money dont make you happy its there to fill the emptiness inside you plus who made you jezzy and piles soothsayer are they give you "PAPER" ? no so get off there dicks and learn your history on REAL hip hop

[effu2]

i ain't nobady dicks, they music give me the inspiration to stay on my grind. i know the real history of hip hop, i prolly know more than u. keep hatin while the real niggas get money, get hoes, and stay fly

[panthersback]

I agree with you, but unfortunately this won't be played on BET(the sellout station). And as for Jeezy, these type of cats keep hiphop ignorant. Ignorance sell records. Sad

[g0ddard]

dam... 5 stars

[Cashmakessense]

dope shit...i really wish their was a budget to really do a video on location....that could be real powerful

[flow142]

Big ups to Rhymefest, respect!

[SpacemanRam]

Wow, Fest!! The song is amazing and the video is super creative. And it's about time someone in hip hop spoke about the genocide.

This is Hip Hop. Support it.
