It's amazing how this man can make such good music, and have sooooo many talents. I listen to other artists and its all about drugs,sex, and girls. This guy is a true artist.
yeah why you hatin me? does it feel good to hate? do you enjoy hating? why? why would you hate humans? why would you consider humans to be filthy? coz we are? well we are the earth arent we? how can we not be filthy and earthy? where is your logic?
yeah smash lies coz? smash flies? bloodthirsty? :D? how about you invent something new or rather something different? like say thirstblood? blood that is thirsty? that would be me? coz i am thirsty right now brb?
It's great that he is trying new sounds and i am a huge fan with both his old and new songs, Jerusalem and King Without a Crown are both amazing but i like Smash lies and One Day as well.
wow his music has changed alot since his first couple of albums that made "him" and it was a bad change ikno there will be alot of people who disagree but hear his old stuff like king without a crown
the beat is insanely good. you tube needs an auto repeat so I don't have to keep clicking the button every time it ends. "pull up selector. replay again!" FIIIIRRRE!
@merchantmarineman1, nope, thats not how u are SUPPOSED* to spell Matisyahu. If it were, it would be spelled like that on his CDs and everything with his name on it. You cant tell me he doesnt kno how to spell his own name, come on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
does anybody even know who is dropping this nasty beat? Cause without this beat, this song aint dick. yeah! Ooah dropped this shit. From the legendary Glitch Mob. All you cats that dont know or dont care. Give a shit. There is a new technology taking over. All hop on! Music is life! In all directions! Stand up and jump off to this
This song is bloody brilliant - from vocals, to music, to mixing, to beat boxing and original samples. He keeps getting more ingenius with each release.
Yea you're right guys, Matishyahu improves his style and makes an album from his heart and he's totally copying T-Pain.
Reality Check here: This is very original sounding and has a positive message unlike most radio trash, we could only hope people would copy Matisyahu and not the other way around. Grow up people. Matisyahu is evolving not copying T-Pain.
to much like rap for my liking i like the chill stuff not this fast paced crap if i wanted that i will listen to techno and heavy metal like i did before i listened to reagge.
yo hardminder i know exactly what your saying. this isnt matisyahu, hes a chill back reggaer, not a rapper. This song is way to fast pace sounds to much like rap. His worst song yet
Bob Dylan went electric and was the better for it. The Beatles went oriental and were the better for it. Matisyahu has gone electronic and I believe he's the better for it. Awesome album, awesome artist.
edmun, I know what your saying but he is not going towards an electronic sound. He is experimenting with his voice, lyrics, type of music and his entire band. Yes this is a great album song and musician, but I do not think he is going towards the electronic side of things. the rest of the album isnt like this
When the Beatles went oriental, in the industry, what other artists went to India to make an indu cure men?... don't put the beatles, "dylan going electric" in that 'cause at the time artists were doin there own thgs, the way they feel it....but this is not the case right here, as i say later, to my ears it sounds like Matisyahu have worked to reach a sound that is fadin the pop crowd...and hes not the only one, more and more artists are goin 2 this...u all know what im talkin bout if u got ears
I don't ask you to understand and agree with what I'm saying and I know most of you people will not, but there's a reason why commercial music is going all the same and it's because of people like you who wants to heard the same shit in every music style. If everyone was understanding that, we would not have this problem....it's normal taht you don,t agree, it's a part of the game. But that,s true that the music industry is poorest than ever....there's no doubt to this...
You don't understand....Im all but a matisyahu hater.. I've seen him live 3 times and I bought all his albums..the only problem I have : it sound like everything playing at the radio, in the clubs 2d. His rapping style is yet amazing but it looks like the music was composed only to fit with all the pop music composed 2d...2d,all the "easy" music (techno, hip hop, rnb etc) is composed to sounds as ''POP MUSIC''. Synthetic riff, sounds saturation, hopefull theme, snare pass transition.
What is wrong with this? Excellent opening track to the new album. He can pull this shit off hes so talented and he spits his rhymes like its nothing. Fuck the haters!
I just tought Matisyahu would escape from this huge machine. that's all.... I just don't understand why nobody keep doing his thing... Tell me you can call that reggae....tell me it doesn't sounds commercial
this sounds great.....but why is he doing that....that's kinda disgusting me because that's f* matisyahu...the roots......fuck everyone's doing that ....same snare pass same synthetic sounds....it is greatly produced but fuck that's just a matisyahu adaptation of the same commercial shit....
Really deceptive...i did not believe it at the first listening....
people stop saying he must go back ro reggae. he said in an interview that people have been criticizing him abt his change in sound but he said "what pl dont get is its not abt me being a reggae singer, its about me being a singer of Judaism and truth etc." he isnt doing this for any reason but to spread hope and wisdom etc. that doesnt limit him to reggae. he is just exploring his options. its not my fav either but i commend him.
I gotta give it to the guy he dosent get stagnent and keep it in his genre, I've listened to around 10 songs and not one of them repeated, thats really quite impressive.
Everyone evolves and grows...artists included....if there is no growth or evolution it's called stagnation....why do people want everything to stay the same all the time? His music continues to be awesome.
seriously... he can try this hi profile epic stuff then maybe go back. im sayin whats the issue of widening your fan base?... as long as he goes back at some point or stays humble.
definitely brotha. the only thing that throws me off is the no accent, like its on a switch or something... i dont know now if he started out with a fake rasta accent or if its legit and now hes just rapping normally hiding his accent. i like it though this song even still has beatboxing parts in it that sound niceee
kovyrosen ur an idiot. Thousands of peple uplod the same music. Just becaus you were the first one to post the song Smash Lies and So high So low ( wich i doubt ) doesn't mean he copied you.
