Tonedeff - Optimist

[shabs2011]

@MATTNATTMATT i think your opinion is your opinion.

[JOZZYmusic]

I can do whatever the fuck I want, and be whoever the fuck I want to be.

[Peacee972]

from france!

[shabs2011]

different than eminem not better.

[MATTNATTMATT]

@shabs2011 Nah, he's not better...hes far better.

[FunkyWhitePimp]

That's Jason Mraz singing the chorus, sampled from Jason Mraz's 'Life Is Wonderful'.

[Ultraliskification]

better than Eminem

[MrYellopz]

@Ultraliskification Don't compare anyone to eminem kid. Eminem fell off

[loaner1000]

woohhww!!

[dedb0y]

i crowd surfed at this rock festival with like korn, paparoach, chevelle and seven dust. it was an amazing feeling no doubt.

[Kbrenton]

SO SICK

[costyron]

tonedeff did a stage dive at the end of this song at the qn5 megashow. he described it as "floating through mila kunis' vagina" ... must have been really awesome.

search for megashow memories: tonedeff on youtube

[49wehttaam]

This shit is pure gold, gives me chills everytime I hear it.

[SotNist]

been hip-hop since the 80's, and i don't give a fuck what i'm supposed to think or support - Tonedeff is the greatest of all time

[Zezmak]

Not enough views on this fantastic song.

[hektekshuffler]

So apparently the world is going to end today so i'll just listen to this all day

[eabyer2]

hesitant to like this song at first, now it encourages me day after day

[CRE8T0R]

damn... 3 people missed the like button... Fuck it, ill still remain an optimist

[WeedByTheAcreLALaker]

Everyone's an optimist til the night of the Apocalypse.

[borchabronx]

emo rap

[HelioxLarZ]

@borchabronx, will u come and sux my k0x?

[gibsonpearl]

Are you kidding technine is not even comparable to tonedeff. technines fast but nowhere near as good as tonedeff. plus it seams all techn9nes fans are all closed minded fucks that think hes a god because "hes tight". listen to this shit tonedeff is a really well spoken guy. he has a great grasp on the English language which is much more than i can say for any techn9ne fan ive ever met haha

[SageSwan]

loooooooove

[coldfood10]

this dude should be much bigger than he is. Lil Wayne really ain't shit compared to this dude.

[coldfood10]

I love the way he makes it pop when he hits a syllable

[gsxgoespsssht]

yeah dude it is bullshit. He is honestly one of the best hiphop artists by far.

[OhLookItsGod]

"No matter how hard it seems, there's always someone in another position... So, when it rains, just hold on, when it's gray, just hold on, when there's pain, just hold on. When it rains..." what beauty these lines have. Unbefuckinlievable.

[TheSuperFatz]

Can't stop hitting the replay buttion

[2Good4MyOwnGood]

they tell me that bouts of doubt can self-fulfill prophetically/and that's prolly why john and paul said that it's best to let it be

took me a while to get that one..damn

[atom88]

3 people are pessimists.

[cschembor]

jason mraz sample...FTW tonedeff is one of the few underground artists to have the balls to do it

[10Esoteric]

Sell or not artists are just that, they practice their craft regardless of people's vision. Major label singers/rappers are not artists they are pawns. All the weight is on him... And that takes real talent regardless of whether or not you like this music.

[moliateth]

it makes me sad that some people will never hear this

[Mimio0007]

Be careful if you switch too quick from Soulja Boy and Lil Jon shit to that or some other undergrounds emcees, you ears MIGHT bleed . Come one, Life is just unfair, this guy deserve to sell and be known, a true poet .

[HodgsonWESTHAM]

too good

[Sweettooth123456789]

This guy. Damn this guy does everything that you cant compliment one thing.

[bubbalaska]

How is this guy so underrated??? One of the sickest hip hop artists ever, he's so good it's almost discouraging. His rhymeschemes, flow, delivery and self produced beats are amazing, then to top it off dude can sing!

[JamMasterJay63]

@bubbalaska Because the average music listener just wants to dance, and not feel. That is why he's so underrated. They'd rather forget about pain, than hear about it and get through it.

[acaash]

@JamMasterJay63

I would like to disagree. You're somehow saying that the people that listen to Tonedeff and such are superior to "regular people"? You better work on that superiority complex my friend.

[JamMasterJay63]

@acaash HA HA HA never said superior fucktard. Just saying that if you listen to bubblegum rap like soulja boy or gucci mane your probably not as intelligent as someone listening to Tonedeff, their lyricism is just of two complete different levels.

[JamMasterJay63]

@acaash s,arter doesn't mean superior. Superior means I think I am all around better, stronger, faster smarter, a better person. All I was getting at was that the mainstream bullshit that the regular person listens to is trash. It takes no intellect or intuition to comprehend. Whereas this guy takes depth, thought, intellect, good grammar, etc, etc. It's just better music PERIOD.

[acaash]

Why are you swearing at me? I tried to give you a legitimate comment and you're becoming defensive, as if I offended you. Relax, life is wonderful!

[JamMasterJay63]

@acaash Because your a conclusion jumper.

[psychoweasl3]

@JamMasterJay63

To understand anything takes a certain depth. show this 'art' to some whom is not cultured and see what is said...

And honestly... for the fun of argument, lets say that tonedeff isnt good...

can we really say that?

but would coming to the conclusion that he is talented be a wrong conclusion to jump to if its t rue?

[mtcameron3]

@acaash All he is saying is that as a whole, people that listen to artists like Tonedeff or generally more sophisticated than people that immerse themselves in mainstream music such as Lil Wayne. It is difficult to argue with, because most people able to discern Tonedeff's music and understand what makes him so good takes intelligence and originality in itself. Being able to recognize talent, in a way, takes talent.

[Skemerzone]

@mtcameron3 Lil wayne isn't as bad as people think. Some stuff is weird but there is heaps of good stuff. He isnt a bad lyricist. Just gotta read into it.

[biaaatchs2]

daaaamn. how have i not listened to tonedeff earlier on. he's too dope

[clueless420srh]

sick song. amazing job by tonedeff

[kong6x3]

best rappers crooked I, immortal technique , chino xl, tech n9ne and tone deff

[BuyStandards]

On behalf of myself, thank you. You must have a clue of how good you are, I'm confirming it. Impeccable syllable-flow technique combined with irrevocable metaphoric thought patterns. Truly sorry to understand you reach a limited audience willing to think and decipher the layers of perfectionism. Enough shoulder pats. Peace

[truthslap]

this is probably one of the realest songs ever. I still cant believe tonedeff isnt huge.. its the most tragic shit ever. people havent evolved enough yet, he'll go down in history.

[bubbalaska]

@truthslap I hope so man.... this dude is one of the sickest rappers ever. He's so good it's almost discouraging.

[bubbalaska]

@truthslap

[JamMasterJay63]

@truthslap As long as youtube and music survives on the internet this guy will never leave people's train of thought.

[StrangeMusicFan91]

This should have been on Archetype.

[SleazyHandshake]

@StrangeMusicFan91 true, archetype was mad good but it could of used this. Imma pervert, biggest creep on earth

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@SleazyHandshake Naw, i like his more deep songs, personally. 

[SleazyHandshake]

@StrangeMusicFan91 yea. porclean was my favorite off the cd to be honest. hes too good

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@SleazyHandshake lol thats what i have on my myspace right now.

[Russka16]

This guy is good but Immortal Technique is beast

[StrangeMusicFan91]

Tonedeff and Tech N9ne are probably the two best people in the game. anyone know of any others? i would like to find some more guys that have their kind of talent.

[SeifTheBlood]

Immortal Technique is better imo.

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@SeifTheBlood name your favorite song from him.

[NJackpe]

fuck Tech, Tonedeff is wayyyy better

[ChiCity24]

bone thugs n harmony

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@ChiCity24 i meant underground people that i might not have heard of but yea i like bone thugs. they did a couple songs wit Tech N9ne.

[ChiCity24]

no clue

check him out and a turkish rapper named Ceza he did a song with tech

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@ChiCity24 Yea i know ive heard every song that has tech n9ne in it. I dont understand what hes sayin but sounds tight.

[ChiCity24]

check out no clue and mr shawdow and mr crimininal they rap fast to sometimes

check out mr shawdows halloween song with lil rob

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@ChiCity24 i checked it out. i LOVE the beat, there was actually a beat similar to it that i was going to spit on but the dude didnt wanna give me the beat cuz he kept sayin he was going to get sued. so yea i like the beat but this dude is a devil worshiper he talkin bout 666 and stuff.

[ChiCity24]

who mr shawdow check some of his other stuff hes good he kinda reminds me of krayzie bone but just a lil

[ChiCity24]

and check out mr criminal song

side to side

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@ChiCity24 i liked the Noclue dude, he was super tight. and yea that side 2 side song was kinda tight too, but i like Noclue better.

[ChiCity24]

yea i like no clue to but hes idk dont like him much

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@ChiCity24 well the only song i heard from him was the on you told me to look up so idk. i guess im going to just stick to strange music and tonedeff lol.

[ChiCity24]

yea they good

[DKATmusic]

@StrangeMusicFan91 don't confine yourself to such a small selection of hip hop! strange and tonedeff are definitely incredible (tonedeff being a personal favorite) but you should check out dudes like sage francis, eyedea (r.i.p) & abilities, mr. lif, aceyalone, apathy, illogic, blueprint, atmosphere... the list goes on and on and on

[StrangeMusicFan91]

@DKATmusic I do listen to Sage Francis. Along with many other artists. I just think Tech N9ne and Tonedeff are way above everyone else. Hopsin is good too.

[LSLrecords]

greatest flow out there and best emotion this is an amazing song deinatlyf a classic in my book

[someonex011]

underground 4 life....underground artist never sell out...thats was up

[falahoni]

ncie man this guys good thx for upload

[Hyphyfacial]

Tonedeff is incredible. You don't usually get someone fast and actually raps aout real stuff. This is one of my favourite songs.

[StreamHDMoviesFree]

I think this is going to be my motto for 2010 :)

[jantoniello]

@StreamHDMoviesFree This IS my motto for 2010! For sure! This is definitely the theme song!

[mehdiand1job]

Sometimes I hate everyone and everything

Real Talk

[AnarKypanky]

only people optimist are jews

no wonder still people diying all over the globe ....happy cruxifiction of a real humain being

[StreamHDMoviesFree]

dopemizzle - So true!

[dopemizzle]

the thing about tone deff is he writes in a full concept and very articulate while being fast when normally you only get a choice between accurate articulate or fast

[88killsyou]

tonedeff is fucking nuts, i love TNT and champions

[alam66anjum]

:) me to

but i gotta say i think the best one is Manochist :P

[snakekilla]

listen to case closed and detonator, those are bananas man!

[darkangel101102]

I'm addicted to this song, from the first time i played it.

[skatewillthee]

I made a mixed cd of all his songs and would listen to it everyday on my way to work and on my way home. This is my favorite

[spanky1113]

@darkangel101102 Same. I find myself singing the end at random times throughout the day.

[possesedbyaclown]

all his sonsg are great...good beats and lyrics. shit changes ur mind

[GibonadaWersow]

The way he's changin his flow is unbelievable - the last verse when he's puttin syllabes to the rhythm is a beautiful thing.

[Flamboyant8]

this song is indeed a masterpiece

[w22er]

damn i love this song so amazing

[enieledaaM]

♥

[Shottagon]

Beautiful. This is a Hip Hop masterpiece. Positivity 1000!!

[skaboosh5767]

this song is very true

[sayWotFooL]

i love this guy

[GIProductionz]

FUCK THE INDUSTRY!

I remember when i went to see ghostface killah, had the whole crowd hollerin dat.

Dis song is amazing n extremely motivating!

Tonedeff is TOO SICK

[WKaliberr]

im the master of the mic

tougher than a butch dike on her period

furry guaranteed to bury candyass rappers

i'll strike down your rhubarb verses

wave down while yer hearse is driving by

my word like X Calibur pointed to the sky

you'll wonder how, you'll wonder why

[moomino]

What album/EP is this on?

[nedrogen]

It's on "Asterisk:Four" which is a compilation of artists from QN5.

[HipHopPolooza]

"So, jump regardless of the consequence

Cause even on the night of the apocalypse, everybody's an optimist."

Damn yo, i love Tonedeff

[neverwillyouever]

favorite line too, fire.

[TimmyAaron5]

Amazing. Tonedeff keeps bringing that deep shit!

FUCK THE INDUSTRY!

[HytoshuRahl]

Tonedeff's flow is like none other. He has the harmony that competes with the best of hip hop and his rhythm is something that all rappers are trying to achieve. This is one of the best songs to hit the radio on a rainy day.

[DontHat3Appr3ciat3]

bt it'll never get on da radio dats da sad thing

[TheMintSuperFresh]

@DontHat3Appr3ciat3 yeh media nowadayz is bullshit dis nikka speakz truth

[roguaine]

@DontHat3Appr3ciat3 why is that sad.

people who listen to the radio dont deserve to know who tonedeff is.

[Trancelime]

@DontHat3Appr3ciat3 why?



[AlphaMaes]

@DontHat3Appr3ciat3 I feel that most people who make it to mainstream radio change to stay mainstream. So hopefully he stays underground and keeps making amazing music

[oneheadlight420]

@DontHat3Appr3ciat3 no thats the beautiful part. the narrow minded people could never comprehend this.. not trying to be disrespectful.. just speakin the truth.

[ikyll]

nothin special but not bad at all

[Yung13lood]

this is good, rapper speakin deep.. not common lol

[yeeoitsannie]

your kidding me, right?

[jelli420]

I luv this song

[LeftHandGreen]

I enjoy this shit so much.

[Jester453]

one of the nastiest songs ever written..its so amazingly deep...4th verse..sick

[AreYouDownWithOBD]

yeah because there so different from you and I?

[ldoubleex]

Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful

[FyrodanDK]

[cacal33t]

TRUE !!!!!!!!! tonedeff is a beast! He also kills more than hip hop as a style !

[TheShade1989]

This song is one of my favorite by Tonedeff, it's awesome.

[zdon242]

THIS IS HOW RAP SHOULD BE

[philbegas]

[skoolyd]

Why's everyone hating on the Chorus? Jason Mraz is the man.

[jrvsl7]

"""""Before you youtube idiots jump on me and curse my mother, remember... IT'S JUST MY FUCKING OPINION!!!""""""

nour on point...lol

[JimsterBone]

the hook is so nice

[aiden619]

tonedeff is mexican

[bearnhiscaddy]

i think tonedeff is cuban/colombian

[666GodsSon]

He is, so, you're right.

[youngdave1234]

so??

[Mobius1ac]

and you aren't worth cow shit.

[aiden619]

da chorus is gay

[TheRealist]

so are you.

[halfr3tarded]

Eminem? What dose he have to do with him? Are people comparing the 2 because they're just both ill? I think this dude is ill, but I have heard better. His flow and lyrics are so fucking on point, but his voice is somewhat corney. Before you youtube idiots jump on me and curse my mother, remember... IT'S JUST MY FUCKING OPINION!!!
