[syd2much]

Tablo is the real deal. I love Fever's End!

[JustANorwegianGirl]

stuck on replay

[Nowaki626]

pshhhh, so much for having English teachers, i can learn all the English i need from Tablo!

[toasterstrudelgirl]

i've been living in america for all of my life... and there are some words that i've never heard...

wahhh. his english <3

[MadeInQorea]

your world is your aphrodisiac so you stay turned on

[Lun3lla]

I don't think it needs to be longer at all. Its 16 lines are enough to make in impact, and the music after that, it makes you think, you know?

[artsyusername]

this needs to be longer.

[dbsksarangx3]

pure genius. i wish he did more songs like this, but these kind of lyrics probably take a while to perfect.

comment below me is a complete idiot.

[AyGirl1015]

왓비병신놈한테 보여주고싶다.

[Triangle97]

LOve this song

[Su1r3n]

"Don't act like you know me 'cause you recognize me."

Seriously. This guy is pure genius. And this song is clearly for all his haters. And that sentence really tells about everything. And it's so true. I adore this guy, really. And with this album I can see how bad things he went through. I mostly adore his deep lyrics. The best lyrics ever. No doubt. There is not even a one song I don't like from him.

Haters gonna hate. I just wish they'd someday realize how stupid they are.

[MrChineseSecrets]

Check my cover <3

[truthcloud]

The haters took Tablo to court because they didn't believe he majored in English at Stanford. So he had to bring all his paperwork to court, and even after that haters kept saying its fake.

Morale of the stories, haters will always hate.

[dk7864]

I’m lookin’ for nirvana but you Geffenize me.

BEST PUNCHLINE EVER HOLY SHIT

[Logoo]

Complete genius. If only more people used English as purely and accurately as he does.

[monishdragon]

my repeat button just broke.

[snappl3jacks]

Tablo, ur amazin' =]

[MISHELLOful]

pure genius

[good9589]

WOW. Genius. love the lyrics and the meaning behind it. it took quite a thinking to understand what he was saying.

[iduhkevin]

I like this kind of rap better. All the rappers are using way too much profanity in their rapping... and hey, the mainstream love it, so they don't stop it.

tablo actually incorporates creativity with sophisticated lyrics to accurately portray his mindset. short, but an absolutely outside of the box, ingenious type song.

[AlainaTensai]

OMGOGMOGMOGMOGMG! His eng is gooood!

[aznxstar6]

Yeah.. that's because he's fluent ? He's Canadian, sorry I said American before because I was thinking about someone else. LOLOL. Tablo is a Canadian with Korean descent.

[SuperNEWBIECrew]

@aznxstar6 nationality-wise, he is canadian, but he was born in Korea and lived long enough to pick Korean up, so not REALLY Canadian. 1.5 gen

[aznxstar6]

@SuperNEWBIECrew Okayy~ i read his bio on wikipedia a few weeks ago and it said that.. so yeah, sorry ? ><

[shaunziimirotic]

THIS WAS PURE GENIUS!! WOW i need more people like Tablo in the world

[asiankid93]

I feel I am in a whole different universe listening to this beauty. When I listen the the beat, When I listen to the rap. I feel that tablo during this whole song, he was going to finish one rap and bring another one up eventually and the song would become endless. I don't know how to explain it, but it is the first time I felt this about a song.

[FantasyVesperia]

Speak better english than I do... :(

[asiankid93]

@FantasyVesperia He graduated from Stanford . Did you think he had a accent?

[FantasyVesperia]

@asiankid93 No he sounded like a regular american walking down the street :)

[lollipopbunny15]

This is such a deep song.

I give much respect to Tablo.

Not only does this have a good beat, it's just those choice of words that pierce the heart and actually speak to you. It's what the world has come to, that he speaks of.

[01TiNE]

"don't act like you know me cause you recognize me, you sell my record, not me."

[xllAmandallx]

Am i the only one who thinks his voice sounds like J reyez? o_o

[TonHyukOTP]

Thankfully the only part I had to look up was "Geffenize" which i guess is a play on the "looking for nirvana" line since Geffen carried Nirvana when they were hitting it big. Also, I heard a lot of debate here and elsewhere about the aphrodisiac line - which i had interpreted to simply be a play on the "turned on" line.

This is an incredibly poignant song in reference to not being fake and not changing according to a label's preference just for money.

[BlueJulietXO]

@TonHyukOTP Also Geffenize could refer to David Geffen, an american record producer or something, who took fresh talented bands and changed their looks and style so that it would fit what the public thought was "in" at the moment. Idk if it's what Tablo means, but I've heard it used before as a word for when an artist lets "proffesionals" take over his genre or something like that, then he has been Geffenized.

[sxylipgloss]

Thumbs up if u went to google after or while listening to this...Sorry but my brain just couldn't reach Stanford. Thought he was speaking another language! lol

Love Tablo = Music Genius!

[xenohuh7]

god i love that 8 bit burning sound effect

[DrPheeLee]

Just one song, he taught me many words !

[vividinthehouse]

yeah I mean he went to Stanford.

He is better at English than Korean.

[Sheenakhu]

oh my gosh. *.*

[singitLOUDER4me95]

amazing lyrics, amazing song :) <3

[rachabou]

Wow, those lyrics and his english are amazing !

[FumetzuNoKaze]

this is also a big shove in the face to the haters who didnt believe he has a BA for english in standford. CLEARLY he does, i had to google up some of these words 

[Jeelalkhadija]

@MrJosephheller really which one is illegally sampled?? and people are only talking about the whole story and shit that happened to him regarding Standford and his degree.

[Jeelalkhadija]

@FumetzuNoKaze LOOL me too shit this is just a slap in the haters face well if they could understand ....o_o

[ShineBright4ever]

Damn I'm loving this track but I just wish there was a lot more lyrics to it. Don't get me Wrong it's awesome the way it is now, I just think it would have been even better w/ more verses. But who knows maybe this is the way he wants it:)

[sammieee8p]

i love that last part "Don't act like you know me 'cause you recognize me"

amazing song <3

[NightmareCollecter13]

It's "sell my record not me"

[behbiichibal]

lol nahhh. he loves it there :). it's probably just to the critics, general public, antifans, etc. etc. 

[PopperMcpopcorn]

@longdarie517 Why would you think that? lol

[DjBumzBeats]

damn, I'm fairly impressed

[bballpsycho64]

The only complaint about this song is that it NEEDS MORE VERSES

AFJKDLSJFKLDAFDSGFSSADF

[OmgAnaMae]

Ive listened this song soooo many times. The views were 21,520 when i first watched it... I refreshed it now its 21,740... LOL. This song is putting me in a trance x3

[iLoveChoiTOP]

This needs more views. ^^

Lol. I keep coming back to this video. <3

[music9fyi9nikki]

Amazing song. Expected no less from Tablo.

Just one question though, is it " you sell my record, not me " or " you saw my record, not me "

Because I've googled the lyrics and some say sell and some say saw.

Personally, I like " you sell my record, not me " but I want to know which one he means.

[GwaiLoGirl]

@music9fyi9nikki it is sell

[myungspirit]

Don’t act like you know me ‘cause you recognize me. you saw my record, not me. I love that part. :)

[KnightmaerEXODUS]

If heaven is a show, well, televise me.

But I won’t lie my way in, no fakin’ IDs.

I’ll die standin’. Try breakin my knees.

I’ll do a handstand like I’m breakin’.

Now freeze. Don’t act like you know me ‘cause you recognize me.

You saw my record, not me.

[epiklovu]

really cool music

[Boshokai]

There's a word trick in the first phrase so don't get confused :S

[Bebothebum]

I wish Tablo did more like this.

[StrawberryTears14xK]

ummm, awk. aphrodisiac means "arousing sexual desire"

oh Tablo<3

[d0ntb3mad]

@StrawberryTears14xK how is that awkward?

[tchocolaful]

@StrawberryTears14xK Don't be condescending; he's graduated with a Master's in ENGLISH from Stanford. I'm pretty sure he's deliberated on every line of the lyrics.

[StrawberryTears14xK]

@tchocolaful I'm not being condescending, I'mjust saying that i looked up the word and was amused.

And I'm a huge fan of his plus I already took notice to the fact that his english is really good so yeah.

point: Tablo is good at speaking english.

[Nvrloptimism]

@StrawberryTears14xK wahh..i thought it was a play on words cuz "turned on" means sexually aroused though in "so you stay turned on every minute," the context wasn't quite used tat way. nothing awkward for me XD

[gabbydaely]

Tablos like.. the Korean Eminem, his lyrics actually mean something. Unlike those rappers that rap about bitches, money and cars.

[koreastyl3]

@gabbydaely All day talk about is Pussy, Money, and Weed

[piqapique]

iq over 170, no doubt.

[borrelli89]

Wow, is harsh...

[kiba91096]

Verrry confused with wat this song really means...its a good beat and has awesome flow n all but I looked up the complicated words and its still kinda confusing :P

[ackrew1000]

Just letting you guys know, he Canadian born haha. That's why he knows English so well.

[lyanagiya]

@ackrew1000 I don't think he was born in Canada, he just went to school there. He knows English so well because he has an IQ of over 170 plus he went to Stanford..

[ackrew1000]

@lyanagiya Oh well i just assumed he was born there because he has a citizenship there. But its for sure he lived there for a very long time

[angiegirl95]

:O i didn't know tablo was fluent in english. very very very impressed.

[irishchatterbox09]

@angiegirl95 He studied English literature in starnford university. He also when to school in Canada.

[mawneekuh]

@angiegirl95 He's Canadian :D

[fiyee321]

@angiegirl95 he has quite a few english songs in with epik high, Map the Soul, Follow the Flow, Over (my favorite) to name a few, also has english verses mixed up in korean songs often.

[SDCDooo]

Genious Lyrics and amazing beat.

Tablo's voice is also awesome!

Its not k-pop. Just hiphop

i love this song!!!!!!!

[JForcE777]

Thank God guys like Tablo are around, otherwise Hip hop would be dead. K-pop ain't hip-hop and neither is half the shit they call "rap" in the US. Keep it goin.

[whybeafakebitch]

@JForcE777 Sounds like this Tablo guy wants to be like Dumbfoundead, he almost has the same style wtf.

[razorchain360]

@whybeafakebitch I like DFD too but Tablo's been rapping in Korean and English way longer than he has.

[whybeafakebitch]

@razorchain360 how long, DFD is 25, been in the rap game since 14, and been in battle raps, freestyle battles, his been in everything thats rap. And also DFds english voice sounds so fuckin good its rediculous, Tablo tho still has an accent which kinda kills it for me, I dont like rappers with accents, doesnt make the song as good.

[elssung]

@whybeafakebitch i hear no accent? and even if he had one, his music is still really good, the lyrics, the message, the flow..

[whybeafakebitch]

@elssung I mean like his english didnt sound natural, but yeah none the less the songs fucking amazing.

[whybeafakebitch]

@elssung Oh nvm I found out his canadian, maybe thats why i hear an accent.

[JForcE777]

@whybeafakebitch Lol, that ain't no "Canadian" accent. He's got a small Korean accent, which I think is somewhat noticeable, but not much.

[Jzna]

Rapping should always be used in a song like this. Funny how a korean make a rap verse better in flow and lyrical wise. Rappers nowadays just rap by saying random words that rhymes to the next.

[Ecksplisit]

@Jzna Listen to Cise Star, Sene, or Blu. They're lyrical geniuses.

[libag206]

collab of gd and tablo pls "D

[ThymeRained]

Wow, totally speechless. <3

[iSUPREME93z]

0:43 for the beginning of the song... i thought my computer went retarded

[eda5936]

@iSUPREME93z

im totally missing something and i feel like an idiot

beside the fact that he starts rapping at :43 what else happens?

[angelicawong1m0]

What's with the zebra on the background , it's so creepy...

[JosefKang96]

this has such an indescribable flow...

[TheSucteria]

A genious's song! :)

[Teruhiko]

[TaizenH]

"The world is your aphrodisiac, so you stay turned on- Every minute, every second I breathe."

[ivettemcr1]

[iLoveChoiTOP]

"... If heaven is a show, well, televise me. But I won't lie my way in, no fakin' IDs. I'll die standin'. Try breakin my knees. I'll do a handstand like I'm breakin'. Now freeze. Don't act like you know me 'cause you recognize me. You sell my record, not me."

[iLoveChoiTOP]

can you say these lyrics are amazing or what??

"Dear TV, desensitize me. Gimme more genocide please. The world is your aphrodisiac, so you stay turned on every minute, every second I breathe. You weaponize greed, kill me with incessant I needs. Got me checkin' out those, and checkin' out these. Mainstream me, disinfectin' my breed. I'm lookin' for nirvana but you Geffenize me. Point me to the skies till heaven's eye bleeds. Anoint me with your lies then divinize me..."

[MsKpopfan01]

@iLoveChoiTOP it took me almost two days to rap the whole song T.T

[iLoveChoiTOP]

@MsKpopfan01

Lol. Took me a couple of hours. <3 Good Job btw. You should just rap outta no where. Spread the love. ahaha.

[iLoveChoiTOP]

[CrazyPapi7]

I hope people are listening to what he's saying and not just how good his voice sounds, or how nice the beat is.

[lina22522]

Love it love it love it!!!!!! Thumbs up for Tablo!!!!

[ehancranky]

Damn. the lyrics is just so fucking epic !!!!! Even American can't make the lyrics like that =.=

[Bifesh]

[Zahina123]

@sHiNsAiKo LOOOOL! Although i LOVE EMINEM that is so true xDDDDD

[VanessaAnneHudgensF]

@sHiNsAiKo seriously?? Eminem is awesome, and so is Tablo, they're both from two different countries, and they both love to rap, no need to compare them, just enjoy :D

[sHiNsAiKo]

@VanessaAnneHudgensF just hate reading that Tablo is the Korean Eminem. *shrugs*

[jaydubbauu]

@sHiNsAiKo No don't you even dare, i will virtually cut you. 3 times. I'm a Tablo fan and an Eminem one. But calling Eminem one of the greatest rappers alive an ant compared to Tablo is ridiculous. Epik high forever, but don't even......

[sHiNsAiKo]

@jaydubbauu lol each with its own opinion. eh...

[Madster428]

PERFECTION

[bulletpoint]

SUPREME T

[maddie3388]

[tvb444]

@TaeBron23 you are too Sensitive

[jayish]

@maddie3388 of cus he graduate from stanford!

[iluvpanic26]

@1godqhrgkek : But he did live half his life traveling around the world. He lived in Indonesia, switzerland, and hong kong. Then he went back to korea, and then he lived in Canada for some time, then back to Korea, and then to Stanford. His citizenship is Canadian... and they speak English there too haha. He's just plain brilliant. 

[1godqhrgkek]

@iluvpanic26 I knew it. what I would like to say is he didn't live half of his life in America

[ShAdOwAnGeLz16]

I thought there was something wrong with my laptop at first lol.
