RJD2 - 1976

[RyanComat]

why dont this have more VIEEEEEEEEWS!!!!!!?

[foncleaa]

I have to admit my english level was so bad at the time that song was released, I never noticed the lyrics were in german.

[asadianphoto]

I've always wanted to know how this visual trick is created!

[drawnsequence]

@asadianphoto videocopilot. net has professional free tutorials on doing this kind of stuff using After Effects.

[Indrek92]

3D at its finest.

[karcphoeuff111]

well this song definitely has a latino vibe. like despite the lyrics, these are the images that come to my mind when i hear this song.

[jeux0]

I am confused in the music the man singing about Istambul and in the clip : viva cuba libre

[fakii]

it looks like Cuba

[phuphroo]

@fakii it is cuba...

[omilkhouseo]

Marry me rj

[ketamina]

If you want the most rated comment it´s very simple, just say Fuck Vevo, and everyone is agree, so FUCK VEVO XDD

[WETxTACOxFART]

What movie or tv show was this in?

[ekolisss]

why istanbul?

[NapalmandCyanide]

@Flyeradri where?

[Pierrea5]

@Flyeradri no, it wont.

[Chulpasa]

Fucking love this song.

[JiggaWiggaWorld]

this awful commercial totally ruined the song for me



[ThePotatoInfestation]

A sample from a song about Istanbul... Sung in German... The video set in Cuba... With Latin beats...

[cinarol49]

Does anyone else think it's weird that the song is saying, "Istanbul", but the video is about Cuba?

[pineapplebaron]

@cinarol49 No, it's sampling. The song isn't "about" anything, but the video depicts Cuba.

[cinarol49]

@pineapplebaron Well, I KNOW that, but it still says "Istanbul"! I never said the song was ABOUT Istanbul, I said that it SAYS Istanbul. Trust me, I know what Rjd2 does.

[pineapplebaron]

@cinarol49 You said that it was "about Cuba." So, actually, according to you, it is about something. If you know what RJ does, it should be obvious why Istanbul is in there. Come on, buddy; you've got a brain, use it.

[cinarol49]

@pineapplebaron Ok, cool story, bro. Don't really feel like getting in a Youtube argument, that's not what Youtube is for. And the video IS about Cuba, duh. And if you just re-read my comment, you'll realize you're reply made no sense. I will not pursue this argument any further. Good day, sir.

[pineapplebaron]

@cinarol49 My reply made perfect sense, but whether or not you possess intelligence enough to realize it is is another matter. Don't feel like getting in an argument? Don't reply in the first place. In your own words;

"duh."

[cinarol49]

@pineapplebaron well it looks like 3 people agree with me (look at original comment.) I never said it wasn't about anything, I said the song wasn't "about" ISTANBUL. And yet, you reply by saying "according to you, it is about something." And I repeat, yes the video is about Cuba. I was speaking of the video and the song separately. And I do know why he says "Istanbul", I never said it was there for no reason. So clearly, good sir, you are the one who may or may not "possess the intelligence."Bye

[pineapplebaron]

@cinarol49 Wow! Three people! In a world of 7 billion, that's a ton!!! Dude, if you're going to be all "I'm not doing this, man," don't respond in the first place.

[cinarol49]

@pineapplebaron Ahh, you are right there. But on that last reply, I actually did feel like arguing, not sure why. But now I don't again. So now i'm done. Honestly I just don't really care, all I know is I enjoy this song. A lot.

[pineapplebaron]

@cinarol49 That is something we can agree on. Gotta love RJ.

[FoLkEsToNeCiTy]

looks 3d :D

[hpunit3671]

Does anyone know the professional term for the style of this video? What is it called, so I can research it? Video editors help me out.

[RedAvery1]

27 people is that guys son at the beginning

[51Bigblack]

[eneska]

@martialartssucks02

you'll have your money for your comment, don't worry martial !!

[Yeahbo22]

27 people don't know where the mind goes

[hedende]

[Xandresxee]

[orcun88]

Istanbul! Since 1453 ;)

[RasLevi]

@orcun88 fuck istanbul. dirty turks

[codenameGIZM0]

@orcun88 Rome! Until 1453 ;)

[gio8paok]

does instanbul and cuba have something in common ??

and for those who get pissed off when so big things are treated like this

" ΤΙ ΣΧΕΣΗ ΕΧΕΙ Η ΚΩΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΥΠΟΛΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΒΥΖΑΝΤΙΟ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΚΟΥΒΑ ΤΑ ΠΟΥΡΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΠΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΓΡΑΜΜΕΝΟ ΣΤΑ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΑ "

[2muchswag93]

Song goes to hard!!

[SHON69TNMA]

@masterguy1489 капитан очевидность)

[toymachine135]

murs, rjd2, and aesop rock are gonna save the mainstream

[dudeableful]

Great song! But I am a bit confused. The man is singing in German about Istanbul(Turkey) and the clip is in Cuba?

[myndwork]

@dudeableful postmodernism.

[Sigsaid]

@dudeableful Haha sometimes the best things in life don't make sense.

[ziesche133]

@dudeableful Even better...It´s a girl singing...Search for "Cora - Istanbul"

[wrarmatei]

@dudeableful It's called mixing. Look into it. They're samples. Look up the significance of 1976, rather than fixating on irrelevant details.

[iamthelolrus69]

@wrarmatei this is correct, but you don't need to word it so harshly!

[PandaPlaysPunk]

@wrarmatei What happened in '76 that inspired this? A lot of things happened that year.

[TheTyPEonER]

@PandaPlaysPunk Just a guess, but I'd say Cuba's 1976 constitution, which effectively defined it as a socialist republic. Make sense with the vid, Google it.

[PandaPlaysPunk]

@TheTyPEonER except the vocals are singing about istanbul and someone with brown eyes (i think) in german.......

[jer0mmeke]

@PandaPlaysPunk RJD2 was born in 1976

[JiveYoungKing]

Meh, F Vevo perhaps. But more importantly.. If you need a alarm Ring Tone for your phone. Clip the first 33 seconds of this. You have a good 18 seconds to casually roll out of bed turn it off and get moving before it forces you get up and get hype.

[bavwill]

How did I get here. A great video, bit harsh in its message though, I thought, but interesting perspective, motivational, I suppose.

[grudebusch]

too short!

[Nishua]

@grudebusch We all wish it was longer but thats what rewinding is for :D NOW ITS INDEFINITE!

[alicenah]

is this song about istanbul or cuba

[Anton1987RU]

Awesome!!!

[TheGripPimp]

has this song been used in a skate video?

[VisBeenJuggling]

@TheGripPimp yes, thats where i heard this song for the fist time, but cant remember what video it whas

[TheGirlCompany]

@TheGripPimp skate 3 video yes

[theamunra]

@TheGripPimp probably yea, many of his songs can be heard in skate videos :D (which means they're all awesome:>)

[SQUIZZLER24]

No!

RJ + Vevo = For fuck's sake.

[poopscoopingcooldude]

[Hazeon23]

[Rapper0102]

[cror]

@Rapper0102 haha that made me laugh its more of a pop up book imo but word haha

[DannyTen985]

There's nothing glamorous about Cuba. 

[aleen150]

@DannyTen985 Cuba is great, the tobacco industry and the coke production is awesome.

[corvetteZ]

I saw him live, he's wicked

[darknessblae]

[MrWiggiJ]

Blockhead

[zombiemeat420]

FUCK VEVO

[jlogue88]

look up Cora - Istanbul it's what he sampled to make this but it took a crazy amount of talent to do what RJ did to it.

[bfabulous86]

This needs to be on loop.

[Mgltsg]

I don't understand.... the song said istambull whereas the video is in cuba

[capssss]

[Skillerguy45]

Is this video the next Duke Nuke'em game?

[EDALLDAY1]

22 people dont know where istanbul is

[LamboGallardo07]

@EDALLDAY1

It's cuba...

[leetleetleet]

@LamboGallardo07 Istanbul is in Turkey you idiot. It's the most crowded city of Europe.

[LamboGallardo07]

@leetleetleet

I want you to take a look at 0:06-0:14 and tell me what country those three flags are from. They are Cuban flags, you idiot. Furthermore, there is a posted sign on the wall that reads "Ron Cubano" or "Cuban Rum" in Spanish. The lyrics may say Istanbul (which I agree is in Turkey) but as far as we can tell, the video corresponds to Cuba.

[JonnyCashmore]

@leetleetleet No. Moscow is the largest city in Europe.....and the most crowded!....get your facts right man.

[oasissone]

@JonnyCashmore Actually no, according to wikipedia Moscow has a population of 11,5M people. Istanbul has 13,2.

[madvilll]

@EDALLDAY1 including Rj :)

[thebigcheese1122]

@EDALLDAY1 This is in Cuba..... Istanbul is in Turkey.. This comment is.... wtf do you even mean you confuse me

[jimys12]

@EDALLDAY1 it's not istanbul, it's ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΥΠΟΛΗ

[BAMCharisma]

@jimys12 ΣΩΣΤΌΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΣ

[oasissone]

@jimys12 Constantinus is dead, it's not his city anymore : )

[jinruizhang]

@EDALLDAY1 the songdoesnt sing stanbul even asingletime, almost everybody the lyrics are istanbul, but no! it isspanish, and it is something like estando

[kscrasefrncs]

@jinruizhang well thats just wrong...it does say istanbul-its a remix of a german song about istanbul.

[Mut1LateD]

@EDALLDAY1 IT's on cuba isn't it ? not in instanbul ..lol

[skaskunks]

@EDALLDAY1 oh....you mean Konstantinople? :))

[desmone1]

@EDALLDAY1 Ironic that the video depicts Cuba?

[EDALLDAY1]

22 people have their head up their ass

[MihkailGorbachev]

@TDWP077 FUCK YEAH BRO ILL BE THERE

[AbstractClarity1]

VEVO SUCKS SO MUCH *ICK

[1underpaid]

stop analyzing the flags and just watch the video and listen.Unless you got it figured out then lemme know.

[jorgetokesalot]

viva cuba!

[intercitty]

480p kinda choppy...no?

[MCSubliminalSol]

the background on this page confuses me

[alekzgrande]

What's the name of the filming/camera technique used in this video? I'm referring to the 3D-like effect... I've seen it on TNT a lot, incorporated into the "Southland" and "Men of a Certain Age" commercials

Just curious.

[indy168]

@alekzgrande Not sure it's a specific technique but you can use Adobe after effects and still images to make a video in this fashion. Taking still images and separating them from a background, then moving the 'camera' around in the program creates the simulated 3D effect.

[sonofranfan]

0:01



[odstroy22]

i love this song omfg, I dont even know what he is saying but it's so addicting

[elcubano9986]

i miss cuba i hope some day come back again thats my land :)

[GyreFunk]

how do you get that 3d effect?



[afrokidguitarist]

um why's the puerto rican flag there? just asking not trying to say anything really

but everywhere else is the cuban flag. help me understand :)

[Noradboarder13]

@afrokidguitarist because the theme of the video is revelution

[afrokidguitarist]

@Noradboarder13 im not really good with history but what does puerto rico have to do with Cuban revolution?

[webbous100]

@afrokidguitarist ummm idk what flag you're talking about but the one at 1:18 is the cuban flag

[afrokidguitarist]

@webbous100 the one at 0:06 is a puerto rican flag

[pilotpwr]

@afrokidguitarist The flag on the wall at 0:06 with the red stripes is certainly the Puerto Rican flag. The two flags hanging on the door in the same frame are Cuban flags. Whoever made this video compiled a bunch of photos that are Cuba related and probably didnt notice the Puerto Rican flag.

[afrokidguitarist]

@pilotpwr yeah i know thats the puerto rican flag (im puerto rican) and i was just confused because i see a bunch of cuban flags then a puerto rican one and no idea what they have to do with each other....well my grandfather is puerto rican from Cuba so they must've had something going with each other yeah?

[imaco89]

i just rape button play again.

[jhsoad95]
