Nas & Damian Marley - Tribes At War

[mrdorkie50]

are there more tracks from K'naan?

[daggertoungeomega]

remember when we played with plastic army men we acted out the sounds in our heads the explosions let take their shit and turn un them lets play make believe like when we were kids when we were power rangers when we were autobots let use our imaginations.

[nathar40]

This is what should be played on the radio not that monotonous, non-enlightening pop rap.

[Reinier020]

my distant relatives brought me here!

[MrBlackdragon1500]

Damian Marley Second King of Reagee

[halieselassiest13]

[Kevinescense]

the violin in the beginning reminds me of a jedi mind tricks song i'm not sure what the name is though

[TyrellTLyles]

yes it's true, there was black on black murder before america so, it's nothing new...but, we still must find peace..a common ground..some way..some how..the lord(bless be he) will provide a way soon..

[MrBlazay1]

[atlkush06]

[kelsfoster1]

Man Nas' past two albums make him seem like the next Malcolm X

[Svitlo37]

@kelsfoster1

Nas probably thinks that he is

[kamrantahir111]

Now I see why Lupe Fiasco used to listen to Nas

[redskinscaps]

@kamrantahir111 u got his ipod lol? hahaha jk

[hussam11099]

Man kan'an killed the song. love his part.

[3rdWorldChildren]

@hussam11099 k'naan, not kan'an lol

[stefsmen]

This song is briliant genial FKING GOOD NICEEEEE

[spicyland83]

K'naan broke it down, best 5 steps to explain one of the main problems in Africa. sad thing is that divide and conquer was the main weapon for colonization and exploitation of African resources. Yet the impact of that is still relevant today, goes to show that African countries may be free of imperialism, but we're still in the same cycle of violence that our ancestors were in. wish we would wake the fuck up and see we are not each other enemy!

[zanderfist]

Here's the issue. African tribes have been fighting for thousands of years. What made this worse is that the colonizers from Europe decided to randomly cut the continent instead of focusing on the tribes (which did interact very well at one time) during the Berlin Conference of 1884.

I don't know what should be done, or what was best back then, but I know that fighting against each other isn't new.

[spicyland83]

Goddamn Damian's flow is insane!! "Man a war Tribal over colors Over money, over land and over oil and over God and over idols and even lovers Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers Over jungle, over Rema and over Buckers Over Brooklyn, over Queens and over Rutgers Over red, over blue and over chuckers Over red and over blue and Undercovers Tribal trouble, the drive bys double cause the youth dem nah go a war and go fight with knuckels

[OUTTATHAT]

@spicyland83

Love it. This part again and again and again...

[slipher87]

@spicyland83 maddd

[tinabecool]

Marleys & Nas blunt Is lit but never gets put out.

[msullivan85]

Its crazy how often people misconstrue the true meaning of what reggae stands for. All the legends of reggae (Isaacs, Tosh, Marley, Brown, etc) stood for peace, tolerance and unity among people, didnt matter of race or religion. Ive seen a bunch of arguements (especially on Nas &Damian videos) where they are disputing if its a white or a black mans world. Something has been lost it translation guys. Think about what you are saying and think about what reggae truely represents

[Bsmurfdizzle]

@WhiteSabrewulf Arrogant fuck, how you know what I was gonna say before I've said it? You don't know me, I could explain to you why this is the black / brown peoples world but I'm too lazy at the moment. How about this you figure it out on ya own....

[WhiteSabrewulf]

@Bsmurfdizzle i Would be able to figure it out if it was true....

[DoctorSess]

@Bsmurfdizzle it's everyone's planet, anything other than that is a lie...

[Bsmurfdizzle]

@DoctorSess ok.

[DoctorSess]

@Bsmurfdizzle glad you agree my friend.

[19keisha1]

much respect and props to these two

[nizzlejizzle]

K'naan wrecked his verse!!!! So ill!!!

[Bsmurfdizzle]

dude ripped dis shiiiiiiiiiit , im mad hype rise black ppl remember what they did to us??? brown brothers join us so we can take back our planet!

[WhiteSabrewulf]

@Bsmurfdizzle Really your planet? Explain to me how it the African Americans planet? I'm not saying it the whites either cause i know that's what your gonna jump to the second i post this. But really i don't think its your planet.

[badamanscar]

I Love Jr. Gong's 'Huh'' Small Word But It Sends Many Emotions

[badamanscar]

Understand The Message In This Song

P.s Damian KILLED It

[MasterOfTheXp3]

[MalejMara14]

[MikeySanJuan94]

the 4 byches that don't like this track can go suck a dick

[may57337]

all i can say is the one fyn song.one of the best.many songs make you feel good yeah but this one makes you feel different.

[xXStrWbrrYsToneXx]

This song is SOOOO powerful! Words can't describe it...... Just fantastic.

[kemetking88]

Unite then wage war against our real enemie. That's what we need to do. Only then will the phenomenon take place.

[kemetking88]

I can meditate to this creative song by nas & damian. I get focused to want to do something great. At the sametime, I get angry and want to use my mind to uplift my people.

[jR2Nice92]

who said lil wayne..... Falcon Punch that man!

[Queenlacoste]

I Love this song and the beats......Damian did justice to this song...

[blackchineyman]

Niceee!

[feargardz]

[Khari05]

[macpheesa]

[XDecipherX]

@shonha1 Thanks : ) 

[HighFrankieAD3]

[Bwoywanda]

tribal war has destroyed all of afirka! this is the conclusions of divide & conquer...

We are looking at the wrong enemy... We need to war with the imperalist that keep aiding Afrika with weapons & stealing our resources! 

[12wwallace]

[BlackThoven]

[getoharmony23]

[xBadBoy4Lif3]

[cdouce34]

2 ppl need to reevaluate their lives.

[TheAlimagic]

Realist Album ever made Distant relatives YEAH Life stared in Africa so peace in Africa Somalie Arabs. I get fuckin wild listen to this again n again

[dezinediva]

I just got on this song, but i LOVE it.

I wonder if it's appropriate for a fashion show for my bridal and evening wear collection at Africa Fashion Week???

[BroqenHart]

Now who's left in this deadly equation? That's right, it's me against my brother. Then we point a Kalashnikov and kill one another.

So deep, man...

[jahmikes81]

K'naan last lines are so resounding

[oANWARoo]

SOMALIA CIVIL WAR: Here's the 5 steps In hopes to explain it One! Its me and my nation against the world Two! Then me and my clan against the nation Three! Then me and my fam' against the clan Four! Then me and my brother we no hesitation Go against the fam' until they cave in Five! Now who's left in this deadly equation? That's right, it's me against my brother Then we point ak47 And kill one another

[sadisticincubus]

Babylon deserves to Burn!

[Iamdarkrecesses]

@sadisticincubus nothing deserves to burn

[kadir1982]

savers of true hip hop...nas, damian, the roots,k naan etc...there is not really many of these guys left enjoy it while u can...artists and songs who stand for something positive for something healthy with a message and not only that but at the same time still making pleasing music, something that sounds and makes u feel good, very rare...new generation dosent seem to produce anyone likes these guys...embrace em all anyways tho...........

[Gaaraxp123]

@kadir1982 You forgot Lupe Fiasco =D

[Tunkas1]

@kadir1982 If you need me to, ill become a real rapper as well. i have no ghetto experience or anything really exciting to rap about. But if people will listen ill rap about working at McDonalds life and school. Maybe also about saying the government is corrupt and cause "hysteria". . . just give me the word and ill begin.

[eggheadAKAspensley]

Talk about the message. not the fucking industry.

The rap music industry is poison just like every other music industry.

[andrewevams1218]

deepest song to have been released in many years this song was vitamin c for the hip hop industry but it went unheard... while the infected hip hop runs wild running threw the veins and ears on the next generation... ignore intelligence and support garbage HIP HOP IS TRUELY DEAD!

[INT3RGALACTIK]

this albums kills ALL the other rap albums dat came out in 2010, Nas and Damian Marley make the perfect duo

[illman8876]

@INT3RGALACTIK I dunno about all, but definitely 99%

[VandalTVHD]

REAL CLASSIC TIMELESS MUSIC

[KubaaM]

[12345enterhit]

Why dont i hear about any weed thats kinda weird but this song is great im trying to lsten to he whole album o youtube

[Luluchick77]

No words can describe how AMAZING this music is!!

[101zidane]

The White man came to Africa and saw the potential. But in order for their plans to go as planned they decieved and manupilated every kingdom, every king every tribe. from tribes against tribes to brother against brother..WHILE WE FIGHT EACH OTHER THE WHITE MAN IS TAKIN THE RESOURCES...ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEY STEPPED FOOT ON AFRICAN SOIL. I WONDER WHAT AFRICA WAS CALLED BEFORE THE WHITE MAN CAME UP WITH AFRICA...

[shonha1]

@101zidane It was called ALKIBULON

[southallgangster]

this tune just gangsta to listen 2 while u charged

[astrogliding]

@southallgangster whenever I'm headed to the station...this keeps me pumped!

[MrPawlowska]

the real title is "tribal war"

[BrennonAMusic]

Tribal War...no? not Tribe At War

[shishisennin]

it's me and mynation against the world, it's me and my clans against other clans in my nation, it's me and my family against my clan, it's me against my family, thats a part of a very ancient Somali folklore! so proud!

[MidNiteAcE1]

@shishisennin if thats true what u sayin..thats ill that he used it...tuff..

[DiGa25]

CLAAASSSS! RESPECT FOR ALL THREE OF THEM!

[akidmik]

EVERY MAN DESERVES TO EARN AND EVERY CHILD DESERVE TO LEARN. ANOTHER GREAT TRACK PRODUCED BY JR GONG RESPECT RASTA

[AFR0ST0RY]

Love this song! Makes me proud to be a Diaspora African. Gotta love Mama Africa!

[poetryselite]

This is so relevant and poetic for the inner soul, not just for the pure blooded African, but those of us who've been transported to the western hemisphere of the world... this entire album reminds me of Dead Prez's "I'm A African"... we've gotta all know that we are indeed African. if Nas and Damian aren't awarded the most prestigious of music awards for this album... it's probably be the greatest shame in musical history... and there's been great disgrace, especially within the last decade.

[shonha1]

@poetryselite U know they're not gonna reward this amazing effort fam, I mean with as great as thses songs are, I've never heard 1 joint from this album on the supposed home of HiHop here in NY Wack97, or Power 105 . they'll probably get a nomination but they won't win, not wit people like Drake nd Em releasing albums too

[tondekush]

very good song. very african and proud of it coz I AM African

[cajascalientesrey]

k'naan spits an unbelievable verse! i can't stop listening

[GrimmjowProduction]

Why did LiL wayne have to get on this FUCKIN ALBUM WHY!!! WHY!#U!!H#!#U!HEIUHADoiaud

[fmth1311]

It's been a very long time since i've heard anything like this...

kids from the 2000's ... this is what we call Music <3

[dubskinz]

@fmth1311 agree exactly.. kids today are bein sold pure ruubish! this is one of the best hip hop / ragga albums made in years!!! =)

[fmth1311]

@dubskinz you know it bro, i know someone who used to like tupac, then tupac died, he switched to nas... then jay-z got more succesful he switched to jay-z... then ja rule became the new tupac he switched to ja rule... then 50 kills ja rule he switches to 50... I wish he knew how low a character he has from my point of view but he is my dawg... it's not easy keeping it real in this world and for what? so people can think of you as jesus? but still SOME people keep it real and thats beautiful

[pimpinmia]

@fmth1311

Awesome comment.

[yangtai1992]

fuck, that is good

[djimpelr]

MMA ring entrance song, or something to motivate before playing a sport.

[pizza206]

K'Naan is amazing, i didn´t knew about him before the world cup but now i am a big fan; holy shit he just describe how things will end for drug dealers and others dirty organizations in 5 fuckings steps...NOW THIS IS MUSIC!!

[BETTAVIBES80]

Best album of the year so far, lets talk about things that matter and make sense, dont accept the fact that majority of the music been played is their to dumb us down.
