[AndreIsAbstracked]

Seriously been looking for this song from Open Mike since he played in Minneapolis. This cat is mad talented! Anyone know what album this is from??

[Dalaserman]

@AndreIsAbstracked The album is "Rappers will Die of Natural Causes."

[thejailer718]

"Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes." was one of the best albums of 2011, if it wasn't the best.

[loonytuner70]

[TeeGeeDance]

[ihadnomoreideas]

[relicdontfit]

@andyyXastro really? ok lets see you make a rap video, these guys are sick. let me guess, you listen to "lil weezy" and drake? all those shitty rappers that everyone thinks is SOOOOO AMAZING

[scottyraw13]

[DoughbeezyShorts]

@andyyXastro Are you a dildo?

[KidCoolio]

[KidCoolio]

knocksteadytv > MTV

[galaxbeats]

dope check out my beats

[Tnias13]

Damn that was nice, glad there are still good underground artists out there, they come few and far between.

[cockboy12]

@Tnias13 WRONG! There are SO MANY GOOD Underground artist out there. Just LOOK! Palmer Squares, Flashbang Grenada, Wax and Herbal T, Heiroglyphics, Watsky, Weyze Geye, Mirikle, Murs, Blackalicious, Gift of Gab, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Madvillian, J Dilla, and many, many more.

[Tnias13]

@cockboy12

Sorry I misspoke, I meant good ARTISTS come few and far between, and 99% of them happen to be underground, as usual. The point is, you have to look between small cracks sometimes to find the gems, but it's well worth the search if you have the patience.

[derpderp1337]

mmmmmmm

[slambamdancer]

eagle rocked this shit wow

[gmag070]

[cjrizzle93]

Views like a porn thread..... hehehe

[halfninjaturtle]

This is nice

[myspam512]

this was more gangsta than most that bullshit mainstream 'gangsta' shit

[gmag070]

rapper with a beautiful voice

[Zjebroiska]

Thirsty Fish gettin views like a porn thread

without carin bout what all otha rappers said

[Gravity1200]

@mlovestigers you got about half the lines wrong lol. It's gravy at least you like good music.

[mlovestigers]

Loadum(?) isn’t linked between a human and baboon

You can watch the words flutter like they flew from a cocoon

But, keep your people close so they can get consumed,

And this ever-lone(?) rapper's broken you can smell the fumes

Don’t know what you getting like you openin for doom

I be sneaking up on rappers just to choke them with a broom

Party people do you feel me, and if you disagree you should feel free,

If you wit it you should raise your hands to the ceiling

And I aint afraid to ask u again

[mlovestigers]

What’s that on the record I’m sorry it was me sir, Riding down Slauson bumping 97 Weezer, Don’t know all the lyrics but I hit all the key words

All my favorite tunes are from when phones had receivers

Got a lady and I’m on my way to meet her

Gonna form a union like a local group of teamsters

Get your tweezers, doing by your research

Hot enough to press a graphic image into a tee shirt

Party people if you hungry get a spoon

I bend the same laws and put a monkey on the moon

[200176968]

@mlovestigers whats all that racket.

[dfective16]

"don't know what you're gettin like you're opening for DOOM" hahaha true

[myspam512]

@dfective16 I loved that line.

I went to see Rock The Bells '07 and DOOM was supposed to be there, but he never showed up.

I also heard he has imposters perform some of his shows, too.

[fezile]

i love this sound

[Alexdeeboss]

i love this shit.



[liljalen123]

i love this song, oh and I WANT THAT BEANIE!

[MenaceWood]

i was in a cypher in san bernardino at rock the bells 2010, and this guy was there, at the time I didn't know who he was I just thought "hmm this guy freestyles better than I do".....I get it now.....

[eggnoggVILLAIN]

ear sex

[burning1er]

lol i still cant believe you had kreayshawn on the same show as someone as talented as this.

[hempharvester420]

INSANE!

[BleauPanda]

Is it me or is the mic smashed?

[chillmeister509]

@BleauPanda Prolly both.

[JiDoTheKorean]

@BleauPanda its dented its sorta a Knocksteady Trademark

[sarahholli]

this shit's hella smooth

[sabog168]

I seen Open Mike in Chicago live last night with Blu, JNatural, Vertual Vertigo, and Colorless.

It was the best day of my life, and Open Mike is probably one of the best artist I've ever come across, the man is a true genious, dead ass.

[TricomaStudios]

This is awesone, where we can download this?

[jermaciel15]

knocksteady should replace young money and revive good hip hop

[stockley1234]

Listened, listened, listening, will continue to listen. Definitely a great piece of art, mad prop to Open Mike and Knocksteady.

[PlatinumJerker]

Who needs music videos anymore !? haha

[gerardco626]

is he still in the swim team? 

[mike1906]

@gerardco626 yes.

[MrRAWRtheSpeckled]

replayed this song 5 times

[prentice7777]

live is better then the recorded version for sure,

[6Nassty6Nigel6]

Is there an instrumental?

[tomtmsmusic]

i can't stop listening to this.

[MrJskiles1]

Why don't these guys have there own Tv show? much better than snooki's camel toes.

[MDPhiction]

@MrJskiles1 What the fucks a snooki?

[KevinTuT0]

@MrJskiles1 this is better than 98% of the shows on tv.

[MrJskiles1]

@KevinTuT0 True, KS > Television

[slambamdancer]

@MrJskiles1 you just provided me with a genuine lol, true words mang

[Theory2]

@thejailer718 @Inverted314 I did a bit of research on it, very interesting

[rockleetlotus]

at 3:17 onward I felt like he was seducing me.

[Inverted314]

jesus christ this is dope as fuck. favorited

[Ronchii]

what is the black/red thing he use for the effects..

[nhpjosh13]

DOPPEEEEEEEE

[thejailer718]

yes!

[burtonxboarder]

can someone explain the doom reference? is it negative or positive

[thejailer718]

@burtonxboarder i'm pretty sure what he is referring to is that Doom would sometimes have a fake Doom play instead of the real one. the fake Doom would lip sync and stuff, Mos Def got pissed about it. i wouldn't say it's really either positive or negative.

[Inverted314]

@burtonxboarder the jailer is right, its about "doomposters" google it if you want more info.

[kmldirtwalker]

@burtonxboarder I would imagine it is good because he has so much fucking music he could play whatever he wants. I'm not sure though, just a guess. Seems logical enough to me.

[adfinite]

I said it from the start this is Nate dog if he was still going. REGULATORS MOUNT UP !

[xXxXBEATBOXERXx]

dope , but sounds like hes on helium for the song

[schlecht13]

whats the red box thing he is using at 0:01 to modify the sounds?

[BrownBagGamers]

@schlecht13 it's the korg mini kaoss pad.

[schlecht13]

@BrownBagGamers Gotcha. Thanks man.

[YoungSavage253]

Knocksteady is so damn' dope . #RESPECT .

[KONCEPTx25]
