Everyone needs to read 'It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop: The rise of thePost Hip-Hop Generation' By M.K. Asante Jr. Learn your facts before posting ignorant shit. This song was pulled from the album because the 'The Doors' sample used was never cleared. In reality, the corporate forces can manipulate their paperwork to say that it was never cleared but they are just trying to hide the facts. Tall Israelis IS running this rap shit. They will bend you over and take your dignity so you can cash in.
whoever stole my new danger album back in 03 deserves five mic's...and a chuck norris roundhouse!...."hey lil souljah is you ready for war?...but dont ask what u fightin for......this is ho stroll bee-Ah, take that cock in ya behind beyotch...hit the streets and perform for us, come back and bring it all to us...FUCKA!"....bars...sorry ci HIgh DA prince, and the Da is for da da da dumbass...you money rappers cant touch mos...wAllah...
I have this on the original version of the cd..I mean when it initially came out then I think they took it off a few weeks later but its on the original. But not if you didn't buy it fast enough :)
The only thing I don't like about Mos def is the whole Islam thing. And no not an Muslim hater I'm a religion hater. And the homophobia is not a good look.
@amgkmpsr Wrong statement. There is nothing to understand. Unnatural is as unnatural does. You can't expect everyone to really like that gutter life style. I would rather be a muslim than a fag any day. You obviously couldn't understand. Good day
@amgkmpsr Did you ever see the episode of House when Mos was on? He looks at House and says "God must have sent you to me". I think what House said to him at the very end sums up my feeling towards Mos (as a person, still one of my favorite rappers) "You just got a whole lot less interesting"
I swear Mos Def and Lupe along with a handfull of over mc's are the only cats out I can fuck with these days. Besides those selected few, hip-hop is waaaaaack
ITS FUNNY HOW NIGGAS ARE STILL TRYING TO LOOK FOR THE NEXT BIG BEEF: " WHOS DISSIN WHO AND SHIT" THAT EAST COAST WEST COAST BEEF IS DEAD YO IT DIED WITH BIGGIE AND TUPAC THAT NAS AND JAYZ SHIT IS LONG SQUASHED TIME TO MOVE ON YO!!!! THAT WAS ONLY A CHAPTER IN HIP HOP!!! LONG LIVE THIS MUSIC!!!!!
THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN SAVE YOU IS YOU, GOD. REAL RECOGNIZE REAL! LISTEN TO THE LYRICS MY BROTHA:" THE RAPE OVER, TURN YOUR FACE OVER/ NIGGA NO GOD IN THE SKY, ITS ME! GAME OVER!!!!!!!!" MOS DEF OWNS ANY LYRICIST OUT THERE HE SHITS ON THE CORPORATIONS,ISRAELIS,SOLDIERS,IGNORANTS,THUGS,ARTISTS WHO SELL OUT,PUSHAS,HOMOS ALL IN A MINUTE AND 35 SECONDS!!!! NUFFF SAID!
@almondmnm He was talking about Lyor Cohen and other White record execs...
Old white men is runnin this rap shit
Corporate force's runnin this rap shit
Some tall Israeli is runnin this rap shit
This song was supposed to be on his album "The New Danger" but the label made him take it off. He was frustrated with the label and how rich white men that know nothing about Hip-Hop or struggle run and dictate the industry. This song was real and from the heart, don't post ignorant shit.........moron.
@The72koenig I aint black you white piece of shit, I'll rip your face of and wear it while I'm fucking your mother and raping your sister... then I'll pass the disease on to your family, I'll shove a stick up your dads ass and I'll make sure to rip your family tits of and eat your heart out till the blood dries on my face. BITCH.
@The72koenig Lol. Do white people have problem reading? I said I ain't black but whatever. raping my sister? you're a rapist? typical crack taking cracker!!!
@The72koenig White industry Satans running this shit, they hate Jesus dissin him cussin n shit, but a bitch named The72koenig lickin his mommas clit while cummin n shit!!! honkey!!
@mon3ybagz HA HA HA!!! SOMEONE IS A GHETTO PIECE OF TRASH!!! GO PIMP YOUR MOM OUT AND TELL YOUR DADDY TO STOP FUCKING YOUR SISTER!!! I AM THE WHITE DEVIL!!!!!
lol another trailer park white boy, get being tough online you faggit. we know your scared to look us in the eye when you walk down the street lol pussy ass white boy
@mon3ybagz trailer park white boy? you sir are a racist douchebag!!! faggit? at least i know how to spell and proper grammar!!! typical ghetto trash illiterate monkey!!!
@sunmanpatoo very easily, mos def is showing his usual bigotry against whites, jews and gays, therefore he is a monkey. he is a monkey because he is a homophobic racist anti-semite. your assumption that i used monkey in reference to skin colour is only showing your mind set not mine. all bigots are monkeys whatever their colour. don't be so unimaginative it just makes you seem like a simpleton. enjoy your racist bullshit, monkey.
@almondmnm well he's right it is run by old white men the color dosent matter but its just pointing out the irony of how hip hop is an african american artform but is being run by old white men he didnt mean it to be racist hes just sayin the truth
Wow. I didn't think I would find this track on lame-ass YouTube. But I have. I remember when I first heard this online back in 2003 (I never copped "The New Danger" album, BTW). I downloaded it onto a CD right away back then, and I still have it--and listen to it--to this very day. This joint is easily one of the sickest underground (even though it really isn't) freestyles ever. 1:23--"...Quasi homosexuals is running this rap shit." That line makes me chuckle to this day. :-) It is true.
@MyDogBrownie its compression, and my guess is the engineer did it because mos wanted it to sound gritty and not polished like it was done in a studio.
@SodaZombie u do realize mos has been around jigga (he was in change clothes), and hung around kanye hard body. and have u seen the vid for ghetto rock? he throws up devil horns, don't devout (as he claims) muslims believe that u can go to hell for that shit? idk, something has sat right with me wit mos since new danger...
@MCJay2daSun the implications of what you're saying is scary, i hope homeboy didn't sell out, it seems there's a big market for rap artists souls out there.
@sunmanpatoo yeah what's crazy is people find it hard to believe cuz they love these artist and don't wanna believe they could be since they're so "positive" and so "conscious" they couldnt possible be working for the dark forces, and then on the flip side some people are so ignorant they dont care about the mainstream dudes, people don't realize they could be possible be fucked on both sides is crazy. idk if mos is but he can't say he don't look suspect...
@sunmanpatoo so yeah i hope he didnt sellout either but i think he did, that movie he was in when he was like a ups delivery worker and he often has an eye covered....idk seems weird
this was taken off the album because the sample wasnt cleared. its nice to think that those runnin this rap shit would feel threatened enough by a song to pull it off a record, but the truth is they know it wouldnt have made any difference.
That's what I thought, thanks for clarifying this for me. Old White Men would make more sense because they are the fat cats, sitting back, and smoking cigars while strategizing "OUR" future.
No...they give you soldier boy and gucci man..cause it dumbs down OUR Black culture and corrupt it...we know what sells...what ever you PRoGRAM and play 15 times a day. So what's your point.
They don't play Mos Def...cause he will make songs....well like this...lol. Just as KRS..Public Enemy..P.R.T...did..before...Quazi Homosexuals with Money came and took over Hip hop...and changed its message we started with.
You can "Get On" if you disrespect Women and say stupid shit.
Yes it is...It's a cry from one of the most talented artist in HIP HOP about the inside working of how to get ahead in the rap game nowadays...you have to homo friendly..if not you are not winning..So see you have to do it for the love, cause if you doing it for the money,then you gonna have to take it in the ass because OLD HOMOSEXUAL WHITE MEN with money have taken over the culture...Be thankful, he is giving you INSIDERS point of view.
I somewhat disagree. Although there are plenty of homosexuals in recording companies and the such, I think he's pointing out that the original core of rap, and what it stood for, is dying out and being replaced by corporatism and sell outs just looking to make money. "Viacom is running this rap shit" Viacom being owner of MTV, BET, DreamWorks and many others. Just look up Sumner Redstone if you want to know who's "runnin this rap shit".
Sumner Redstone is the CEO of Viacom. The point is, is that the people in charge aren't looking for someone with heart, and spits the truth, but rather someone they can sell. Why did it take Mos Def so long to get this big, and SouljaBoy just pops up out of no where all over MTV? Talent? Bullshit. This kid is easy to sell, and little boys and girls don't know the better.
My CD has this track on it! The first batch of CD's had this song..it was the 2nd wave after Lyor caught wind of this that the song was removed on some BS about Permissions not being cleared.
actually it's track 4. I have BOTH copies of this album...the first release, which includes the Rape Over, and a certified Signed copy from Mos, that doesn't have this song on it. so it was taken off the album
yeah, I bought the album as soon as it hit stores and it has The Rape Over on it. I still listen to it till this day...and people STILL don't get it! Ahahahaha!!!
@cbmuzik I don't understand what they don't get. its as obvious and important as the nose on their faces, I just hope he stays out of trouble, and keeps it real. According to some of these sites he is one of the last who has yet to be bought off. What do you think?
I wonder about Mos being bought. I don't think he is totally bought, but he has bowed enough to keep the heat off of him. Now Common? Bought and paid for. Done with that cat...period.
@cbmuzik Damn & Common started off hard as hell. I wonder if they di not have to bow down would they have kept it true and on point? Or would they have traveled down the popular path. There is not much we can do but not buy their shit, whoever it may be.
Tall Israeli is runnin this rap shit .. cocaine is runnin this rap shitt.. homo's r runnin this rap shit .. WORD WORD WORD .. man I can't reach a level of maximum respect to this MC/Poet/Vocalist/Actor his work is clearly a statement of his multi talents .. and the best is that Mos never changed his message .. it started about crack babies in bed-stuy n thats where it always will be .. no fake swag .. no bullshit stacks on ass .. rappers forgettin wat rap was 4 .. but this guy won't anytime soon
Think back to the day of fat laces and kangols. Who would have thought hip hop would become a billion dollar industry run by white guys? Not me. Thanks for posting!
Mos has always been outspoken so it don't shock. It's on the copy I got. I got the last one he come out too. He was so gangsta, he put it out with no promotion. That joint just comes in a blank case. It's called True Magic. If you don't have it, run and go get it if you're a Mos Def fan.
I looked up the lyrics; this song DOES NOT deserve to be banned. Anytime a rapper strikes a nerve on what's behind the scenes,there's "controversy". What's so sad is that it's true and we Black folks fall for it. Think about it. These people making all this money from us BUT turn around and criticize and judge Blacks for dressing and acting like the music they sell! If rappers actually influenced POSITIVE THOUGHT AND CHANGE amongst their listeners,rap music,as a whole,would be banned.
with the exception of mos def, and a couple of others, these so-called "rap artists" of today are all paid to portray the same negative image to our youth. they glamourize the gangsta life-style to our little boys, and glamourize being strippers and skanks to our little girls. this is obvious to anyone who came up in the era of true hip-hop. it's up to us to make sure our kids see it for what it really is.
one my favorite tracks..its a shame that this stuff still goes on in the industry. much love to MOS

this song is a cry out for help...
kingjustice777 2 years ago
Yes it is...It's a cry from one of the most talented artist in HIP HOP about the inside working of how to get ahead in the rap game nowadays...you have to homo friendly..if not you are not winning..So see you have to do it for the love, cause if you doing it for the money,then you gonna have to take it in the ass because OLD HOMOSEXUAL WHITE MEN with money have taken over the culture...Be thankful, he is giving you INSIDERS point of view.

I somewhat disagree. Although there are plenty of homosexuals in recording companies and the such, I think he's pointing out that the original core of rap, and what it stood for, is dying out and being replaced by corporatism and sell outs just looking to make money. "Viacom is running this rap shit" Viacom being owner of MTV, BET, DreamWorks and many others. Just look up Sumner Redstone if you want to know who's "runnin this rap shit".

I bet if you look up who's running Viacom..it will be Old Homosexual White >en Running it....so what was your point?
LordKaseem 2 years ago
Sumner Redstone is the CEO of Viacom. The point is, is that the people in charge aren't looking for someone with heart, and spits the truth, but rather someone they can sell. Why did it take Mos Def so long to get this big, and SouljaBoy just pops up out of no where all over MTV? Talent? Bullshit. This kid is easy to sell, and little boys and girls don't know the better.

@cbmuzik I don't understand what they don't get. its as obvious and important as the nose on their faces, I just hope he stays out of trouble, and keeps it real. According to some of these sites he is one of the last who has yet to be bought off. What do you think?
groundpounder35 8 months ago
@groundpounder35
I wonder about Mos being bought. I don't think he is totally bought, but he has bowed enough to keep the heat off of him. Now Common? Bought and paid for. Done with that cat...period.
cbmuzik 8 months ago
@cbmuzik Damn & Common started off hard as hell. I wonder if they di not have to bow down would they have kept it true and on point? Or would they have traveled down the popular path. There is not much we can do but not buy their shit, whoever it may be.

WORD WORD WORD .. man I can't reach a level of maximum respect to this MC/Poet/Vocalist/Actor his work is clearly a statement of his multi talents .. and the best is that Mos never changed his message .. it started about crack babies in bed-stuy n thats where it always will be .. no fake swag .. no bullshit stacks on ass .. rappers forgettin wat rap was 4 .. but this guy won't anytime soon

Mos has always been outspoken so it don't shock. It's on the copy I got. I got the last one he come out too. He was so gangsta, he put it out with no promotion. That joint just comes in a blank case. It's called True Magic. If you don't have it, run and go get it if you're a Mos Def fan.

I looked up the lyrics; this song DOES NOT deserve to be banned. Anytime a rapper strikes a nerve on what's behind the scenes,there's "controversy". What's so sad is that it's true and we Black folks fall for it. Think about it. These people making all this money from us BUT turn around and criticize and judge Blacks for dressing and acting like the music they sell! If rappers actually influenced POSITIVE THOUGHT AND CHANGE amongst their listeners,rap music,as a whole,would be banned.

with the exception of mos def, and a couple of others, these so-called "rap artists" of today are all paid to portray the same negative image to our youth. they glamourize the gangsta life-style to our little boys, and glamourize being strippers and skanks to our little girls. this is obvious to anyone who came up in the era of true hip-hop. it's up to us to make sure our kids see it for what it really is.
