Repping TORONTO NIQQA!!!

[1RMDorey]

I was stuck on the classic rock carousel for so long, I thought that music had died. Between CBC Radio 2 and Youtube, it is like I found musical heaven. Love this song.

[brianownsall123]

Hit the road jack? like identically? yes?

[mitchell3270]

i went crabbing today and listened to this a lot

[groundnpound702]

You don't have to thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2012.

[ISkylerI]

chanting* crab people, crab people , crab people.

[fivkups]

@workitoutish are u saying canadians arn't popular?

[lennskilikesthis]

This is what music is...and yes I'm still listening to this in 2011.

[workitoutish]

Wow, I'm pretty shocked at how few views there are. I know K-os is Canadian but seriously, I remember this being a hit

[swallywashereBLA]

this is what you call real music..

[ZombieChipmunk11]

@swallywashereBLA I love this song but my family is stupid for not liking it

[Marvelousmissmegs]

This is a really good song, I especially like the good lovelies cover of it, though this one is very good as well.

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

first time i ever hear this song was big fun party mix 7

[900hardyboy]

[beautifulgirl425]

"No time to get down cause I'm movin' up"  Truth has never made a sweeter sound<3

[Paco17SG]

Like if the city reminds you of Nelson.

[lilychen795658]

[1337nubsproductions]

[kiendo64]

[Righton2000]

Gotta love the MJ tribute

[UncalledForDuty4]

this has been stuck in my head since like 2005

[omgitzerikka]

@UncalledForDuty4 amen.

[Flo430]

Badass song!



[niklb]

@ BlueEyedSon -- just reading these comments because I hoped someone would talk about those amazine white-suit dancers. "Crab in the bucket' is a comment on human nature, comparing us to crabs -- if you have one crab in your bucket, you have to put a lid on it, or it will get away. But as soon as you have two or more crabs, you don't need a lid, because as soon as one crab makes a move to get away, another one will haul it back it. Supposed to be a true story. Sad comment on us if it's true.

[BCraingirl]

OK, how is it that an American singer who knows 1000's of songs(I'm guessing) had no clue who k-os was when I mentioned his music? Does America(& American media) just stick their heads in the sand when it comes to other country's musicians...it's just sad!

[ihpb09]

why is it that this only has 225k views? i dont understand.. this song is definitely a huuge throwback, i remember listening to it on the radio non stop

[SwagR77]

Thumbs up if You're still listening to this in 2011!

[0hBr0therProductions]

@SwagR77 nope.

[FizATropaComOBaia]

@SwagR77 I'm not. I'm still listening to this in 2012!

[BboyRoan]

@SwagR77 im still listening to this in 2012 ;)

[brandonjamres]

@SwagR77 nah 2012 biotch:)

[Mahoivlich]

This is the real anthem of the US.

Slaying the devil, and sendin em back to Transylvania

@Shalvia1

Hey buttface! I was actually born in Transylvania !

[GhandiSyWhaaat]

I counted 22 fedoras, that's awesome...

[rivengle]

this guy would become the coolest grampa someday in the future.

[tubeyhamster]

the sound quality on this video is just awful

[KononaBlackninja]

@tubeyhamster @tubeyhamster  check your speakers or your sound card, cus mine is fine

[svenas22]

@tubeyhamster same here, I don't think it's my sound card or speakers. Video quality is poor too

[ITSMExDD]

This kind of music is so underrated.

[gregsmithjazz]

Now K-os get to St.John's and btw why the hell doesnt this have like 10 million views its much better than any pop song i know

[drehrelokated]

I only like this song `cause it sounds like a smooth Jazz song very refined

[aurlis2012]

trippy this guy used to live where i live in canada

[outrageouznezz07799]

He looks just like Will.I.Am from Black Eyed Peas!

[Williamf1337]

@outrageouznezz07799 Will.I.Am from Black Eyed Peas looks just like him! ;)

[sexuallobster134679]

@outrageouznezz07799 Except k-os doesn't suck. He's a real artist.

[StellaNative]

@outrageouznezz07799 you mean WILL.I.AM looks like K-OS

[Lacadien911]

i went see them today, was awesome, but they didnt played this song :(

[skagirl427]

This song is so fun, it had my whole family dancing all vacation:)

[ScratchinTheItch]

Call me simple but I'm a sucker for hand clapping

[rockingryder]

I'm a metal head and I love this song

[SupportRonPaul2012]

What a great song! Ron Paul 2012!

[frederica62]

this is just WOW, I just heard it for the first time a few days ago and am totally in love!!!

[rockandrollsax]

CHRISTOPHER PLOCK on TENOR SAX.

[eritreangurrl]

2:08 smooth criminal!!

[nicolefreak5]

i don't understand this song :s like did someone have crabs and they removed them and put them in a bucket :s

[JypesRypeSnipes]

Brigo bachman from the bto family is singing in floorn jefferson in video responses ment to show a contrast to play of music

[vidiomister]

thumbs up b/c this was filmed in Toronto!! :P

[TheVerbalmilitia]

K-os is a genius ......fuck the haters....

[GreenDayfreak717]

may not be Rock but this is one of my favorite songs

[PetertheImpaler]

Criminally underheard/underrated, this man is a straight-up genius -- his creativity and originality make him one of the handful of vital artists working in hiphop today, along with Kanye, The Roots, and fellow Canadians K'naan and Shad -- and head and shoulders above most of the better known crop (crap?)...

[marslado]

I love how Nelly Furtado has a random cameo appearance here. Them Canadians... :)

[kamool91]

when was the videoclips recorded? because i was trying to find this song and i did not know the name of the song, now i found it and want to know the date of recorded or released on MTV

[Triskitout]

@kamool91 Wikipedia : D

[randyandy1960]

what's so funny is that when he says walking down yonge street on a friday....he's actually walking down queen.....hahahah.....he's trippin

[deathman358]

how high do you have to be to see people as crabs

[MrJBEAST82]

i wish i walked past K-os on the sidewalk

[truffinator]

whos pbat?

[Goldunix]

Used to hate this song when i was younger... then i grew taste.

[Sircell77]

I think living in/around Toronto makes it easier to understand the message of the song, at least at first listen. After all, anyone from the area knows that there's only one reason someone would be "walkin' down Younge Street on a Friday."

[1berlyb]

this seems like the black eyed peas should be singing this song

[MrProceo]

11 people dont have crabs in the bucket.

[MrJimtastics]

i see black people

[ariadarabi]

Filmed in Toronto - fuck yeah :)

[Monvayne]

[parkour1001]

mtfkn ads

[MrDumdiddly]

The bass really resembles to Ray Charles' hit the road Jack

[ShavedSquirrelNuts]

did he sample The Cure in this song? i dont think ive ever heard the cure sampled in a rap song before.

[obalobalob]

for all the other assholes that think they can rap... BOW DOWN TO K-OS'S SUPERIORITY!!!!!

[nldb123]

Doesn't hurt that he has Trini roots...crabbucket is a trini expression that I grew up with.

[manrose11]

Canada rules!

[msNB1]

love this song, love him... rep toronto baby ;)

[haileybear55]

Canada pride xD



[REALGz23]

fuck vevo and his commercialsssss

[rhazekamp11]

greatest bass ever

[SmexyTrailerz]

wtf does crabbuckit mean?

[TDOTEMPIRE]

thats defnietly toronto!!

[kokie67]

is it just me or his guitar seems a little too small ?

[xXdppXx1]

@kokie67 a ukelieli

[hazelmay64]

@kokie67 It's a folk guitar. LOL!

[kokie67]

@hazelmay64 thx ^^

[SomethingSlick4Ya]

got two of his albums, havent listened to one and love Joyful Rebellion

[MARKLStudios]

That little guitar of his ROCKS!!!! This song doesn't really have any deep lyrics but it doesn't matter because it's got ONE OF THE SICKEST BEATS EVAH!!!!!!

[BlueEyedSon1]

@MARKLStudios It's a commentary on the "rat race", the song title is a metaphor for the day-to-day city grind, climbing the corporate ladder, playing the office hustle game and all that ..."free your mind" is the message.

[MARKLStudios]

@BlueEyedSon1 AMAZIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!

[IWantGoats]

Classic! This song has an amazing feel , cool beat and Kos' voice+his lyrics=beutiful and that saxaphone solo at 1:06 is just fits so perfectly. And it doesn't hurt that hes from Canada. :)

[TheYoooth]

@IWantGoats Ya I love that he's Canadian

"walking down younge street on a friday" I always loved that line!

[KameronAnemone]

@TheYoooth That line always makes me thinks of that weird law about Yonge street. "In Toronto, it is illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on a Sunday."

[mario61072]

@TheYoooth yeah me too!

[dramasticlyclever]

lovin the tragically hip shout out

[tocamelaconga]

BAD ASS!!!!



[Vickycachitu]

2:05

[DayneekaDavidson]

It'd Be Fun To Make This Video Though With All The Dancing And Crap Like That

[MARKLStudios]

Doesn't matter how many views this guy has. It matters that he loves what he's doing, by the looks of it he's doing just that. And his music actually has meaning. SUCK ON THAT BIEBER!!!!!

[ZafiroRiverSpirit]

Oh my gosh... I tried tap-dancing along to this song, and it's definitely good cardio! It's just hard to keep up with it, you know?

[stuka476]

Have u knowtis that all the best music is made in CANADA!!!! ( besides Bieber)

[moemoe20092007]

I love how its is mixed with jazz and hiphop

[Callingyou22]

CANADA!! more like WHITBY!! k-os grew up like 100 feet from my house!!! fucking right!!

[paintballplus20]

@Callingyou22

SAME!!!! WHITBY FTW!!!!!

[mssocoin1]

Actually the opening scene is on Queen Street West in Toronto. Right in front of Trinity Bellwoods Park.

[badjuju87]

love the bass line

[MrTomthegamer]

by the way this was filmed in montreal canada

[MrTomthegamer]

lol i live on the street to his right in the first scene with the grass in the background

[PIVOTALFILMWORKSCOM]

VEVO i am going to ban you soon. Your deceptive ads on videos are shameful. You just sell out to whatever you can.

[jbbpr]

1:05 - ITS A TRAP!

[64893704]

was this filmed in Toronto

[crazystarf]

I cant stop listening to dis please make me stop

[SpartanB23]

Hey thats queen street west! Thats Trinity Bell-Woods park at the beginning of the song. AWESOME!

[lanabsta]

Am I the only one who thinks the girl playing the guitar from like 1:00-1:26 looks like nelly furtado

[JRaawr]

this used to scare the shit out of me.

[mistamuchachoman]

Crabman.

[LigsJr]

8 ppl took a trip on a bus they didnt kno

[piegurl12]

u should start making vids :)

[reveller2008]

RULE BRITANIA!!!!

UK HIP HOP SCENE IS UNTOUCHABLE>>>

now officially taken over USA And CANADA.....

Sorry folks!!!!

keep trying :)

[funtarded]

@reveller2008 Canadian artist filmed in Canadian city, fool.

[reveller2008]

@funtarded I know what it is.... I'm just saying this is good....but not as good as british hip hop :) hence the 'sorry folks keep trying'

obviously simple statements are hard to comprehend for you

[funtarded]

@reveller2008 I admire your witty repartie sir. Did you think up your comments while giving a gentle handie to a bloke named Darrel in the bog? Or perhaps your meth dealer? Post something relevant putz, that or hold your tongue whilst the grown-ups are speaking.

[reveller2008]

@funtarded trying to speak like an englishman are we.... keep it up. you may pass as one someday. sounding Educated=sounding like an englishman

this tracks ok....but cant talk to the likes of klashnekoff, foreign beggars, dubbledge, akala, sway.....

as for your lame attempts to ridicule me.... dear oh dear... thats likely to offend me as much as watching teletubbies.

[funtarded]

@reveller2008 Actually I was trying to dumb it down so your miniscule intellect would be able to comprehend that I'm mocking your sexuality. Most Englishmen do sound educated, I agree. However being educated won't stop one from being a wanker. Some of the "educated" people I know are, are also the biggest twats I know. Yourself included. Now, piss off. Go and stick your head in a bucket or something. Tosspot.

[reveller2008]

@funtarded see now you were doing so well until you called me 'tosspot' lol what are you tralier park trash or similar? anyway seeing as you've hurt my feelings irrevocably by calling me a twat, I will now go and lick my wounds as my soul has been ripped apart by those harsh words. meanwhile I suggest you read a book on humorous offensive words to use against someone that were not used 50 years ago by people with zero imagination. like for example you being your fathers walking cumstain :)

[funtarded]

@reveller2008 Aah, so you got the throwback humor. I was wondering if you would. As to the cumstain thing, more intelligent things have been deposited in a litterbox. Go back to stranglebating, you mindless baby-rapist. I've known a great many English folk, and you sir, are a disgrace to your fellow countrymen and your great nation.

[reveller2008]

@funtarded it's not hard to come up with more intelligent retorts than twat and tosspot so I dont deserve the credit and praise you're giving me but thank you anyway :) baby-rapist..haha talk about taking it down a notch or two. sad. very sad. when the bar is set too high, you lower it. I get that. well peedo pete, keep reppin canada by refering to baby rape and make your nation proud as i'm sure you will. easy to please a nation of underachievers.

[funtarded]

@reveller2008 Seriously? Words that start sentances should be capitalized. I learned that in kindergarten. Insult my intellect all you wish, however to state that Canadians as a people couldn't care less, is a bit like calling Britain the worlds dominant empire. Just 'cause you can say a thing dosen't necessarily make it so. Almost everything you've said has been either ethno-, or, ego- centric. Supremacists make me sick, you should be ashamed. Try to conduct yourself more appropriately.

[jamesmathes]

@funtarded I agree with the misled conception of canadians. people are people, everybody's different and its ignorant to assume anybody is anything because of where they live. most of americans dont give a fuck about america, we just take shit for granted, and thats we were broke lol. much love... and sorry if i didnt capitalize my shit, but who gives a fuck. - james from oceanside ca

[funtarded]

@jamesmathes Well thank you James. It's nice to hear that all faith has not been lost in poor ol' Canada. We're a compassionate country you know, and people like reveller just want to spout Supremacist B.S. and try to hurt our feelings 'cause they're hard done by their Leaders. As to the Capitalization, I believe it can be forgiven in light of your politeness and kindness. (Canada's favourite attributes) Big ups to Cali, and believe me brother Those that Care for America will see her through. :)

[funtarded]

@jamesmathes Also, sorry about Bieber. We had no idea what that would grow into. I believe she was developed as a military annoyance device, and the project just got out of control.

[rovernio]

@funtarded i think he cool

[funtarded]

@rovernio You're a belieber? That's awesome! Are you twelve, female, a flamer, or foreign? (his entire fanbase falls into one of these four groups)

[GuitardedMasteBasser]

@funtarded Spelt "Doesn't" wrong. I thought you learned that in kindergarten?

[GuitardedMasteBasser]

@funtarded Disregard that last one. My bad. Accidentally ragged on the wrong side there.

[funtarded]

@GuitardedMasteBasser Meh, it happens. No probs.
