  • First off how dare you use Lil Wayne in the same sentence as Mos Def, Mos is a legend and is way better then Wayne can ever dream of being, Lil Wayne is the most inconsistent rapper ever caring more about how much money and pussy he has than actually making good music.

  • nice scott larock sample

  • ok so i came to this video to hear an amazing song by two great rappers

    and then a see a bunch of idiots arguing about religions and atheism

    WTF?

  • Atheists HAVE beliefs. That's why they are atheists in the first place. That's why they lost faith - because they ALREADY had beliefs, like of fairness, kindness, and logic, and came to realize most of the world didn't care about things like that (including many religious people). Atheists can be bitter because they look at the world without the comfort blanket of religious faith. It takes balls to drop the BS and take a hard look at things, no matter what it popular to "believe". Respect that.

  • Must be 131 bubble gum rap fans out there.

  • 4:06-4:09 the guy ignores kweli handshake and mos def tries to alert him lol

  • One of my favorite artists of all time

  • check my new underground hiphop track
