RJD2 - 1976

[tropicalcatdetective]

Are the motion graphics made by MK12? I know they used a different RJD2 song in one of their annual showreels so just wondered if this music vid is where their collaboration began?

[IgnoranceBeats]

well im german and it's something like this: Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... [2x] Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Ich sah nur Deine braunen Augen

[Strangeryann]

Sweet vid, N1 !

[TheDayMang]

Were these images taken from slides? Really high res considering they're 35 years old

[DarkTowerTube]

I gotta thank Pandora. I would have never happened upon this artist just yesterday otherwise. Now I have to spread it to other people. Cool stuff.

[Amuck412]

If your watching this video more than likely your searching for REAL lyricism, ORIGINAL concepts and DOPE production. Love it, hate it, it will elicit a response. I DARE you to check it out.

[444Krich]

love it

[Tontontony]

Says İstanbul sings in german and video is set in cuba(?)...thats globalization =D

[16flamini]

@Tontontony i never realized that it was supposed to be german and quite honestly it still doesn't sound good to me...

[LorneAGruen]

+::)

[HammerheadPanda]

this is what the descent into hell should sound like

[gijose95]

well cuba doesn't look so bad.

[mistanigga]

Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... [2x] Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Ich sah nur Deine braunen Augen

@JiaYu8 "youtube.com/watch?v=SWPxwaFo6­lc" This is the original song, the lyrics are german, like in the rjd2 song. It's about Istanbul, the capital city of turkey, and some person with brown eyes. This bboybboy is "doch weit und..." this is just a part of a sentence which means "still far and.." like far and wide. I hope this has helped you.

[Jmontastic]

almost 1 million!

[seekinalias]

лучший

[bboygarrick]

awesome clip!

[bullski92]

anyone know face on 2.19?

[JiaYu8]

I've heard this song with a dude raping, i think is a remix or something .Lyric is like repeating" bboy bboy ..." thats all i remember ,anyone know the song name plz tell me

[badvanilla]

@JiaYu8 please add a "p" somewhere...

lol ;)

[DeDodgingEse]

@badvanilla ill say please for him..cuz im interested on what songs i cud be missing out on :]

[badvanilla]

@DeDodgingEse the "p" was not for please lol ;)

unfortunately I don't know the answer to his question.

[Qranarok]

@badvanilla there is a subtle difference between raping and rapping, isn't there? Glad you noticed too. Haha.

[badvanilla]

@Qranarok : indeed !

[scoutsouljademoman]

@badvanilla lol, raping

[x5m1thx]

@badvanilla hahahahaha i was reading it and i was like "Raping!? wth is he watching" lol

[krazycanadian186]

@JiaYu8 What was the "p" for lol?

[cocosnuss06]

@JiaYu8 This is the original song, the lyrics are german, like in the rjd2 song. It's about Istanbul, the capital city of turkey, and some person with brown eyes. This bboybboy is "doch weit und..." this is just a part of a sentence which means "still far and.." like far and wide. I hope this has helped you.

[cavernio]

@JiaYu8 RJD2 I think is designed around mash ups, meaning taking samples of musics from various songs and putting them together. Often a single song will be more represented than another, but its different than just a remake because they take specific samples of other songs, not just add their own stuff. All the stuff used is from other recorded music.

[bboyAni]

@JiaYu8 Nas - hiphop is dead.

[tacomn18]

@JiaYu8 haa raping ;)

[electrodasde]

@JiaYu8 that was DJ def cut - Bboy stance

[hodenkrampf3]

@JiaYu8

So it was a rapist?

[OrangUtanMileynum]

@JiaYu8 The remix is from DJ Def Cut - Bboy Stance. The one that kept on repeating "Bboy Bboy Stance" it is actually a Bboy song from K-Os - Bboy Stance.

[NelsonLongboarding]

marryhill freeride :D sector nine

[richeedrums]

the year i was born!

[idkbouteggz]

lol 1976 was the year my school was built

[DragondaleXIII]

Wish there was an extended version! :)

[drigydrandrindran]

The word istanbul "comes" from the greek words "is tin poli"...

Means "in the city"...

[b3stiaL]

@drigydrandrindran

thats not true

[Keegiee]

Reminds me of Red Bull BC One 2005!!

[DJUsive1]

@Keegiee

I KNEW I knew this from somewhere!! Thank you!!

[SnoopEnd]

Cuba Libra *)))))

[YoshiMystu002]

rjd2 + esoteric will be sooooo dope!

[hardie1979]

Are you all very young , American and stupid? If that is the case then you have a long time to work out the answer...

[tacticaloperator12]

@hardie1979 I logged into my account just to reply to your ignorant comment. How does being American have anything to do with not understanding the video? Stupidity crosses both oceans, as you are clearly a fine example.

[TheDouchesupreme]

@hardie1979 Using generalizations makes you smart and stuff good buddy.

[Troimah]

best track ever!!!

[MrShneck]

They sing istanbul but the video is in Cuba?

[david2600]

@MrShneck Cuba pics, yes

[sweiny]

the lyrics dont make any sense

ill try to translate them :)

istanbul, then nice to, istanbul, still far and, i just saw your brown, then nice to,Istanbul, still far and, there i saw your brown eyes, istanbul, then nice to,Istanbul,then nice to, I only saw your brown,then nice to,Istanbul,still far and,there i saw your brown eyes, i only saw your brown eyes.

3 phrases nothing more ^^

[MogoMuscle]

@sweiny Maybe you gotta cut the lyrics back into sequitor. They could be cut up like the music....

[PopularityTroll]

@sweiny Lyrics are german

[javitronc]

yea i think it´s stambul too, the flag at the begining with three bands blue, two white and the star on the left, defintely it´s CUBA. Don´t you know those cars? those cigars¿

[gkidcj]

[Stofzuigertreflip]

[dirtbiXe]

@artreyoo do you know the lyrics in english?

[artreyoo]

it's german haha, I knew it, hard to understand, but this is what it says: Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... [2x] Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Istanbul ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Ich sah nur Deine braunen... ...denn schön nach... Istanbul ...doch weit und... Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen Ich sah nur Deine braunen Augen

[BartenderMix]

[crendonio123]

I IMAGINE GARY COLEMAN DANCING TO THIS IN HEAVEN

[skinnyJEANking2]

I've actually heard of RJD2 on yahoo! radio, on the alternative hip-hop station awhile back. The music is great. 

[Warsong27]

Simple Brilliant.

[HombresSombrero]

istanbul

[hotvietchik6]

love breakdancing to this song it's soo beast >_<

[CheckVerb]

Fuckin' terrible...

[bigmac573]

@CheckVerb Greatest on earth. Eat shit, troll.

[Cloudleaf13]

It looks like an intro for a sitcom... especially from 0:19 to 0:33.

[redresonant]

fuck I love La Habana! Top 5 mid sized city in the world. What culture, what beauty, what rum!

[bnikolaou1975]

love love. reminds me of good times

[CaterXian]

Such a sickness to this song

[YellowDartStudios]

Latin beat, German lyrics which refer to Instanbul, yet filmed in Cuba. Ingenious.

[Tennisers]

main melody from blue bossa

[superfly1191]

@Tennisers I'm pretty sure the sampled horn lick is from a song called "Un amor Original" by an artist named Sophy. Could be wrong though

[PreciousPyn]

Think RJD2 should collab with Tommy Guererro!!! Def ;):):)

[cilebehind]

great cover

[kobik1987]

is the orginal teledisc for this song? If it is I'm impressed of someone who can show the beauty of people from cuba in 3 minutes :)

[orell93]

isanbul is turkey not cuba but i don't think that this is turkey!!!

i like it!!!!!

[thechoz1n1]

check out another cat from ohio

click here /\

[Hamburgerflaggschiff]

I love this song.....:-) and the video. Congratulation. Nice Picture from Cuba.

[waxy45]

which rjd2 song starts out with audio from the beatles?

[fattywannacupcake]

i can totally see this song being in "how to make it in america"

[flytallerkin]

i love the bright colours and electronic trumpets. the bass is great also, the video is fun and i bet it was hard to make.

[SpidereK29]

my favorite rdj2

[unKut1004]

1:34 <3

[jebjeb201]

rjd2 makes good music but his show almost put me to sleep

[CEASONE77]

this reminds me of no other then a late 70's early 80's mob movie ! what an original piece !

[Woopiesz]

on the wall 'ron cubano' so this is Cuba ;p

[222Lightning]

even if the song wasn't much the video is really original like a holographic national geographic magazine of a cuban city. If you look closely you will see the pictures don't actually change angle, just size and placement giving the illusion of changing angle.

[TTigerZZZ]

loving this, but this reminds me of craig ferguson lol

[tellyisrubbish]

Contemporary Israeli Pop + Early 80s German Pop + Latin American visuals = Astonishing!

[King0Darian]

ohh

[tomatenomada]

ohhh

babe baby

[s02747]

I don't know how i found this song but it bangs

[rafsurbn1]

ISTANBUL?????

[0WanneBe0]

[Woopiesz]

@rafsurbn1 Cuba

[stankey626]

[MrNappo]

@rafsurbn1

"Ich sah nur deine braunen"

"Da sah ich deine braunen Aaaaaaugen"

It's german, took me quite a while to realise. despite beeing german :P

[88wutever]

@MrNappo ya when he says it at 1:52 he says somethin more its sounds sorta like "und schoene..."

[275269i]

@88wutever heheh, he says 'I'm sure now'. You can find the lyrics online, he seems to be saying a whole lot I

[Laura89Alice]

@MrNappo ging mir ganz genau so, bis zu deiner "übersetzung" konnte ich nicht verstehen was er singt.

[Mrini97]

@rafsurbn1 Cuba faggot.

[mtldrmr]

[RenegadeReplicant]

@GRANDOVERLORD77

This song was made in 2004.

[BBoyAirFlare]

schade das es so kurz ist

[elbocho19]

this is a really cool video!!

[Faubioca]

Nah ya'll this is a cuban influence, hence the cubana scenes that trumpet and horn selection is all about the cuban influence. I break to this all the time.

[lilzig420]

Yea I was wondering the same thing lol anyone understand why its still photos of Cuba?

[RighKey]

Ja es ist auf Deutsch. The song is awesome, the music video is really awesome too. I just don't understand why the video is of Cuba and the song lyrics say Istanbul......

[BBoyAirFlare]

[mynameismud420]

[georgiamay99]

:DDD

[TheQueenMalika14]

YAAY OREGON!!! Im frum SEATTLE Washington and now live in Ohio!! Crazzzy! i didnt no me and RJ had so much in common. :)

[Wilshy]

Rjd2 is from Ohio, period. His music is amazing, but if his new albums are like his last one, Third Hand or whatever then I'm afraid he's fallen off. He went from this nice type of DJ/hip-hop sound to very poppish in his latest.

[ScratchMasterSPAZZ]

RjD2 is from Oregon not Ohio. Just thought I would let you know.

[beowulff00]

I didn't even notice the lyrics were German

[longstreetavenue]

holy shit, never heard that this is german

and I'm from switzerland ! :D haha

[KenuThePirate]

born in eugene oregon, raised in ohio, now he's in philadelphia

[otheveganity]

Pandora says RJD2 was born in Eugene, Oregon, in 1976.

[sulan91]

the music type is new to me, but i love it!! :P 5/5

[VideoGeek1973]

Nah, RJD2 is from Ohio

[Dan1Supermaan]

I love this Musik; yeah RJD2
