The Roots - Mellow My Man

[jmarrvin]

Sometimes I think that there's a YouTube user out there who has a really fucking childish sense of humor. He sees a dope hip hop video, and lo and behold, it is without dislikes. So this bastard looks at the bar, and he looks at it, and this big grin steals across his face. He looks around to see if anyone's looking, and if his mother isn't there, he moves the mouse and hits the "dislike" button. And then he giggles like it's the funniest fucking thing in the whole fucking world.

Just a theory.

[newson222]

@jmarrvin I completely agree with this theory, and have thought the same thing for quite some time.

[jmarrvin]

@newson222 Are you familiar with MF Doom, by any chance?

[ajbahus]

@jmarrvin And then he jizzes his pants and curses himself for not being able to hold it.

[davpolutube]

saw them in London last Friday, this tune was broken up by a drum duo lasting 20 mins+ and returning to second half of tune later - fantastic live

[bdickerson86]

sissies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iamken1000]

Slow down before you go down...

[OpeabodyO]

[TheDiscopigg]

[SmokinLogan92]

My computer speakers just don't do this justice.

[George21195]

Dave walsh is gay

[Soulquarian215]

The (1) dislike was a Deaf Man.

[Sporcoification]

Easily one of the best songs ever written.

[shineyteeth]

Ahhh is there an instrumental of this anywhere?! So damn good!

[jessicaburk1]

greatvidwatch thesevideo's. Search for crack city dvd!

[senay619]

who the fuck actually disliked this song? hahahhaha

[fannypack311]

@senay619 i'm prettyy sure that one dislike was a mistake hahah

[Master313100]

sooo goood, could stay listenin to this

[Preppedsoccer05]

this song singlehandedly got me into hip hop. respect.

[boethiah12]

@Preppedsoccer05 hip hop is infinitely better than rap. although i do like some rap. i just love the instrument styles in hip hop a lot better, especially when its as jazzy as this.

[Preppedsoccer05]

@boethiah12 yeah i agree. the instruments are kind of a breath of fresh air. not that other beats are bad obviously.

[boethiah12]

@Preppedsoccer05 true. in fact beats and instruments are in my opinion the best parts of rap and hip hop.

[davpolutube]

@boethiah12 if you like Jazzy then you will be familiar with Tribe called Quest and Diggable Planets...

[boethiah12]

@davpolutube thanks for the suggestions. i wasn't familiar with them.

[davpolutube]

@boethiah12 really? Digable Planets is virtually unknown but Tribe is huuugely famous, enjoy!!

[boethiah12]

@davpolutube yeah. thanks again.

[birdman987654321]

I was listening to Sirius the other day and a song came on with the intro "Mellow my man" repeated over and over. It made a couple references to the roots, tribe, native tongues possie etc. "Mind Power" ETC

I tried using Shazaam but it didnt recognize it.

I looked up songs that sampled the roots but couldnt find anything.... .

PLEASE HELP, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SONG IT WAS

[KrfNYC2]

Niceness personified.

[1994RapLover]

beat roots album ever, and one of their best track fo sure

[welcometolindseyland]

seeing the roots tonight! woooot!

[Hazanko84]

man, that bass line is too clean

[eajustin06]

@Hazanko84 tooooooooooooooooooo clean!

[garyomason]

change my name to saran or reynolds then wrap them

[ish91914]

ahhhhhwwwwwww yeeeeeeuuuuhhhhh s0n!

[spielz01]

"Leave a crowd drippin' like John the Baptist" !!

[SalsaShark542]

Their best song, bar none. In my opinion, at least. Bliss when you're baked.

[KrfNYC2]

@SalsaShark542 I like "You Got Me" and "Section". Also "Respond/React", "Concerto of the Desperado" and "What They Do".

[sedcdf]

FUCK CEDPOOH38!!!

[socrstreets]

The only thing that annoys me about going to these songs on youtube is reading all the self righteous comments of supposed "hip hop heads."

[callmealiaragain]

@socrstreets i deff know what you meen. Nothings worse than condescending people....or people who dont like the roots.

[robinhofan1]

What a magnificent track!

[dlm9293]

tairyhesticles you post ALL the good hiphop....good looks

[swansonj18]

ahaaaa!!!

[MrHype1993]

my man is sik biging it out

[jose4891]

am I the only one who rewinds a million times just to hear Black's intro? so sick

[MrOvaovaova]

BRAPPPPPPPP!!!!!

[mhaze210]

i was in a bad mood...so i HAD to put this song on to cure it. this automatically makes me feel thankful for EVERYTHING.

(no wonder i get so offensive when i hear people say "hip hop is awful and theres nothing special about it, it just sucks all the time" those people have obviously only heard a few songs on the radio which shouldnt even be considered in the same category as The Roots....this makes me appreciate life on a whole 'nother level :)

[mhaze210]

beautiful...so many memories coming back to me, because of this.

[Uccide]

that shit just flows like water,,,,,,i bathe in this shit nigga.....

[Kyosuke180]

This one's goin on my favorite list.

[ABluFuture]

it's a shame that most people don't know about the roots. They are true hip hop. It's also a shame that most people can't even listen to them because they've been brainwashed by the new artists to think hip hop n rappin is all about talkin shit n sayin your the best. For all you people that listen to the roots n appreciate their music, u truly know what's good music. God bless the roots

[davpolutube]

@ABluFuture loads of people know the Roots man, dont you worry....who does not dont matter, leave em for us!!

[MrSCELLOS]

I MISS THIS, REAL HIP HOP, PEACE TO THE ROOTS CREW

[blackkeychucktown]

my favorite part of the album is how malik b. kinda looks like a frog on the front.... and the music

[awesomegarciaful]

who likes to party like slick rick rick the buddah

[jonathanspruill]

@awesomegarciaful i thought it was "like slick rick the ruler"...

[ooooooooooooO111]

@awesomegarciaful u know its rula right? like ruler u dont know slick rick lol

[bboydimension]

one person had missed the "like" button...

[kazefin]

@bboydimension my bad :(

[RockinTheSuburbs123]

it's sad how people are never exposed to good/real hip hop like this, thanks to Soulja Boy and how he "crank's that"

[djjoshsnowden]

this song takes me to another universe...

[Robo335]

Chiiilll

"La Di Da Di, who likes to party ?" ;)

[dannyboy11490]

yooo thats doppe niggaaa

[Lee93920]

such a smooth drummer

[DanielDumile]

@Lee93920 That's FUNKY drummer...

[DJSatsui123]

underground/old school = soul, mainstream/lil wayne = shit

[haashond]

When i posted this song it got blocked world wide ....

[pionyang]

JAZZZZY SHIIT BABY

[lookmountains]

damn tairy.. every track I look up seems to be one of your uploads.

Thanks for keepin good music out there homie..

[DarkyDiZZ]

Real music from the soul.

[XDILikeTurtlesXD]

gotta be my favorite song on this album. Thanks for puttin this up TairHesticles. Bass line is pronounced, drum beat is unique, flow is professional, so much soul to this song.

[zon3ful]

love the bassline

[JamalAhmadHipHop]

The album changed my perspective on hip-hop. This was my favorite cut. I loved when the beat changed and Malik B came in an ripped his verse up. Black Thought is one of the greatest to ever do it.

[vin2364]

amazing!

[chicagoconnoisseur]

This was my absolute favorite shit from this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrThunderBird]

5 songs in a row and no dissapointments

This Albums the shit

[chicagoconnoisseur]

@DrThunderBird: Welcome to The Roots youngsta!!

[mostlyslick]

leave the crowd tripping like john the baptist

[aunicornist]

@mostlyslick

*drippin

[mostlyslick]

@aunicornist lol. thx. still a dope line if he said "tripping". But thanks for your correction. much appreciated

[SW4TR3PP1N]

@mostlyslick its drippin cause he baptised people in water, get it? lol

[SANJAY1995]

this beat is amazing is there an instrumental for this???

[hornybo]

@SANJAY1995 its a drum kit. As in a drummer named Quest. People say beat and don't seem to know what they mean by it.

[DanielDumile]

Scott Storch?

Looks like these cats tapped talent before these fake-me-outs did!

[DanielDumile]

TairyHesticles...you know the goods...

I'm sitting here enjoying some brew and vibing back to good ol'...courtesy of you!

Thanks man.

[techbonus]

I ALWAYS loved this little breakdown right here - 3:37

The way the instruments and MC's time those sudden stops, nice little extra to the song.

[DougyD83]

home grown is one of the greatest best hits albums ever

[jazzhands79]

I love Malik B's second verse on this

[judasiscariot3]

I'm not much into rap or hip hop, Though this isn't bad..It's the kind of music you'd listen too while driving downtown.

[JonnMcNally]

Reminds me of Knuckles too good.

[DexChick90]

You gotta love this music. So much soul. Not much like that nowadays

[ahlvinf]

this album was just genius

i still bump Distortion To Static

[drummtb333]

maybe the best hip hop album of all time?

[poutybean]

@drummtb333 aye aye. Would be right up there.

[drummtb333]

@poutybean its probably is one of them! what about the black album? up there! and train of thought? good top 3 to you?

[poutybean]

best song on the album?? what say you?

[InstaGroove]

@poutybean yea man this track is crazy

[kickass45454]

legit song. i chill to this song everyday

[henney38]

no one else compares to the legendary roots crew

[chrisrap4ever]

they remind me of a tribe called quest.nice crew..

[TeeBoner8]

Brings back the tribe, jungle, de la sound...yeahhhhh.

[CuteGirlChilln]

this is awesome!!!

[deealiganga]

[rawmaster514]

This shit is soulful esp. that first verse

[andrih]

to good to be true

[Jcrack514]

sick song - thanks for posting tairyhesticles

peace to the gods

[TairyHesticles]

No problem, my man.

[ZachsGayCat]

@TairyHesticles There's nothing like a smooth scrotum

[JayTAkins]

@ZachsGayCat there's nothing like a hairy scrotum-the scrotum of a nigga that's gone through puberty(physically a man)-if you want/prefer smooth...women are available-the opposite of men.

[mikethaironlung]

@ZachsGayCat why, those balls are as smooth as eggs.

[sorryass9988]

@TairyHesticles i got some hariy testicles..bitches love licking all up in there

[bympy]

dope classic
