Substantial - Ain't No Happy Ending

[chlnson]

Nothing really ends.

Rest in peace Nujabes, your music lives on in our souls.

[cynexjima]

This is what a classic is. When my grandparents start dancing to hiphop its something timeless.

[hellsboy90]

REAL TALK REAL TALK, CAN U SEE, THE SIGNS?



[Heflyn40oz]

This track kept my head up and my feet closer to the clouds made my chest implode with nothing but sound.

[Baalthazzar]

"I used curse words before I ever used a comma." Good stuff.

[johnnyboy9034]

WHO THE HELL WOULD DISLIKE THIS I GUESS IT'S TRUE THAT OUR GENERATION TRULY IS GETTING STUPID.

[Ponkiizz]

@johnnyboy9034 Chill out bro, let them be. We know better ;)

[sushi521]

@aigoo13579 This isn't Nujabes my friend.....

[m3anmik3y]

@sushi521 but it is, friend.....

[TheXiafury]

@m3anmik3y Substantial is the name of the guy rapping. Nujabes is the guy making the beats.

[71Poison]

@sushi521 the beats are my friend...

[ProfoundShaolin]

@sushi521 Nujabes produced his whole album.

[costyron]

nujabes made a remix of this song and everybody that knows nujabes knows its gonna be dope

check it: /watch?v=7ekCuO8iIeM

thumbs up if you think its dope

Rest in peace Nujabes

[andagii]

[MonkeysInMyHouse]

@xavierrftw Come on, dog.

[MetalFingerzDOOM]

Drama over you tube while i'm chillin listening to substantial and nujabes

[TheSolidMind]

Hits the soul smooth,

[costyron]

i think substantial is my favorite emcee

[savetheeemcees]

Substantial is just a dope emcee

[Rousputin]

[YourHomieHenry]

[LaEskoh]

Substantial got a special place in my ipod,right next to murs and The grouch,<3

[Ponkiizz]

@LaEskoh Same here bro! Next to Murs, Eligh, The Grouch and old stuff from Zion-I!

Bless!

[emmie13579]

this is a BG this guy

[ayoitsmeeeh]

Aint no happy endings.. true story.

[tfa86]

Nujabes is playing often when I'm going to bed and when I get up..tonight I had a dream about to guys, sitting with in a small dinner on the counter, one a ripped Tupac lookalike and the other one a chubby one with a puny beard, both talking to me..but actually they where more like rapping..and the chubby one told me:

And live everyday like it’s your last

‘Cause life only get harder as time goes past

And yo, the sun might not come out tomorrow

Don’t let your life end in sorrow.

[tfa86]

And the other one answered:

Ain’t no happy endings, ‘cause nothing really ends

When this life is over, another begins

And that’s the way it works in the circle of life

Balancing these good days in these times of strife.

When I woke up I felt happy and sad at the same time..:)(:

Feel like nujabes produced his own eulogy, hope he's still somewhere around,

trying to give some really open minded artist the inspiration to create such heart and mind filling

music as he did..r.i.p jun seba

[bboyoneart]

make tht 3

[mrbadnut]

I love that saxaphone, matches exactly with the title. R.I.P. Nujabes

1974-'Till Infinity

[jerryumeh1]

out-of-body experience!

[stickyricex3]

i just cried...-_-

thinking about nujabes and these words.

[totallyweakman]

Nappa: Vegeta! Look! A pokemon.

Chiaotzu: I'm not a pokemon, I'm Chiaotzu Chiaotzu.

Nappa: Ya hear that Vegeta? It's a Chiaotzu. I'm gonna catch it.

Chiaotzu: I told you I'm not a poke- Owww

Nappa: Aww it didn't work Vegeta.

Vegeta: That's because you have to damage it first.

Nappa: Alright! Let's see if I can get a critical.

^ This makes as much sense to be here as the constant bickering on this video does. Also, ghost Nappa is going to haunt you.

[ZillahManiac]

Why are you talking about lil wayne?

Go listen to lil wayne talk about saying no homo on TOTALLY GAY things.

thanks stan. this is hip-hop.

[juniorcba]

AWESOME! Substantial always make my shiversss!

[NorthernShiva]

less hate, more good music.

[03prodigy]

Can you two please, just stop this hate? I can't believe you would go so far as to slander this page with your words. Substantial wrote this piece to honor the memory of Nujabes. By the way, that word you're using pandamagicftw, was USED as a word that dehumanized African Americans and is associated with their 200 years of enslavement. Don't tell me that it's "just a word."

[PandaMagicFTW]

@03prodigy Note the past tense, "used". It is not being used to mean that anymore, by most people. The more people try to forbid a word, the stronger the negativity it can have. If all you people stopped trying to make the word so negative, then it would just be a normal word. So yes, I use it as "just a word", and most of my community does so as well, no one gets offended.

[pandaboi56]

@PandaMagicFTW jesus christ arguing with you is like taking a shower then jumping in a pile of shit immediately after getting out. sure i might be on the young side, but it doesn't take an adult to know when someone belongs in the special olympics. of course i don't have much of a life yet, its because im still a fucking kid. but if your such the adult talking down on people calling us kids then why the fuck are you even replying? real mature, dog. im done with this shit youre so fucking stupid.

[PandaMagicFTW]

@pandaboi56 Alright then it is pretty much established that you are retarded. I don't know how old you are. I just assumed you are an oversensitive little kid, and I was correct. Do you even know what the Special Olympics is? It's for physically disabled people not mentally disabled people such as yourself. You think being a kid is a reason to have no life? Get off your fat ass and do something with it. Swearing doesn't help your argument much either. Go learn some shit, retard.

[totallyweakman]

@PandaMagicFTW The Special Olympics are for the mentally disabled. The Paralympic Games are for the physically disabled.

[PandaMagicFTW]

@totallyweakman Oh your right, haha. I just assumed "Special Olympics" to be another name for Paralympic, my bad.

[korngod]

@PandaMagicFTW exactly if there is no hate in the word then what the fuck is wrong with saying it... -_-' times change so does language nigga is equivalent to homie now-a-days, fuck its not even proper english.

[PandaMagicFTW]

@korngod Yup, but it's these oversensitive people that keep the taboo going. And, some are just utterly retarded, like pandaboi56.

[Deadthewanderer]

@ALL THESE NEGATIVE NIGGAZ (Panda dude & QuoteMe specifically) Chill out, take that crazy shit somewhere else. You're both being disrespectful, to this song and the artist. Stop ruining the chill of this music with your cursing and arguing and hating and shit.

[bliz029]

@/PandaMagicFTW andpelican116 wtf are you on about nigger music this is music for broad minded people who appreciate good music and no how shit mainstream music is this is music that is not for the ignorant masses just bun a zout and chill

[PandaMagicFTW]

@bliz029 Nigger music is just a type of music. The word "nigger" isn't offensive unless it's used offensively. I have no idea why the QuoteMe93 guy is being disrespectful, my guess is that he is over sensitive. Dun worry, already chill as can be. Peace.

[pandaboi56]

@PandaMagicFTW what the shit are you talking about? im only half but even i kno nigger is a hella offensive word mainly cause it was made to offend thus making it an offensive word. regardless of its context its not a good thing to say. yeah you can look it up on urban dictionary or something and it'll say black guy, but it was and still is a racial slur. if you wanna call it black guy music then say that, but its properly defined as hip hop not rap, or nigger music. hip hop. u ign'ent ass nigga

[PandaMagicFTW]

@pandaboi56 Are you retarded?... Honestly, if you don't like this type of music, go listen to something else. No single word is offensive unless used offensively. I don't know if your some oversensitive little kid, but when people talk in an informal fashion, they don't need to "properly define" something. Your last sentence is some racial shit, changing the last few letters of a word doesn't mean shit. Get a life.

[pandaboi56]

@PandaMagicFTW wow, holy shit youre living proof that ignorance is bliss. i never said i didn't like this type of music, look on my page, i have hip hop all over (not nigger music), oversensitive? youve replied to everybody whos said anything back fucking hypocrite, i just hopped on cuz i saw some dumbass acting like he knew what nigger meant. and if you knew anything about what a life is, youd just drop the shit already and not reply. and not everyone with an opinion unlike yours is a kid, dog.

[PandaMagicFTW]

@pandaboi56 So you are retarded? It's common courtesy to reply back when someone says something to you is it not? Stop being an oversensitive little kid. "Oh no, he didn't properly define this type of music" Shut the fuck up. You think changing the last few letters of 'nigger' means anything different? Dumbshit.

[korngod]

@PandaMagicFTW of course it changes the meaning thats what slang is man

[PandaMagicFTW]

Everyone shut the fuck up about this nigger music shit... This is nigger music, all that means is its black music, and trust me its a compliment. Chill out and enjoy this fine piece of music.

[QuoteMe93]

@PandaMagicFTW FUCK YOU!

[PandaMagicFTW]

@QuoteMe93 If you don't like this type of music, you are free to listen to something else. No need to be disrespectful.

[QuoteMe93]

@PandaMagicFTW

dont talk shit about black ppl BITCH!

the music is fine u fucking racist !

[PandaMagicFTW]

@QuoteMe93 Now you are just being absurd and rude. You one of those oversensitive little white kids?

[totallyweakman]

Love the music, don't see any reason to put down other styles of music in the process of enjoying it though. People have different tastes it's all subjective. And I really don't see any reason to fall for a troll's shenanigans.

[DjNegi]

@totallyweakman you speak the truth.

[bittybaconbutty]

Fuckin love this song!

Does anyone know the sample used at the beginning?

Much love

[sk8erb0iluis]

THIS is rap. Lil' Wayne is hip hop or "allternitive hip hop". I think this is the shit. Lil; Wayne ai'nt got shit on this.

[gortijx]

@sk8erb0iluis

Wrong. This is Hip hop, while the commercial "hip hop" is RAP. Get it?

[pelican116]

@sk8erb0iluis fk it all falls in the same genre as nigger music.

[sk8erb0iluis]

@pelican116 That was THE WORST racist joke EVER. I want to go kick a gay baby in the face thanks to you.

[dabestbrawler]

@pelican116 thatz a little racist dnt u think?

[pelican116]

@dabestbrawler not realy, its a genre made by black ppl o.o... cuz they got all that swag, i like substantial and others. i consider this.. TRUE nigger music

[dabestbrawler]

@pelican116 yea i get were ur comming from, but itz a lil bit too much u kno?

[pelican116]

@dabestbrawler eh, i dont realy care.

[Sensaistar7]

@pelican116 True "Nigger" music. Fuck you. That shitty response is why races clash. Most of the cats on here are conscious. So watch your mouth.

[Necromni]

@pelican116 get laid before you try to talk shit boy

[theo7491]

@sk8erb0iluis lil wayne is hip hop/r&b which is basically radio hip hop this is hip hop/rap

[gadgetmtv]

Yea. Great!!! Fuck all this bull shit pop artists like Lil wayne & Soulja boy

[juswolf22]

@sindaprpunisha I mean fa real every underground hip hop track you go to this dude in the comment w/ the most thumbs up lol like okay we get the point.

[yuhkai]

これが最高~!!

[cookiebaker13]

Rest In Paradise Nujabes.

[sommat]

@XxUnknownxX8 look up nujabes. Its like his symbol.

[MrHunterWiseman]

made me cry...rip nujabes

[CoolDevicesXxm4]

this song just made me think about my girlfriend/fiancee for some reason like how much i love her how unbelievably intense the feeling is it just made me cry

[StussyTurntableLab]

Lyrics. Beat. Mind thought.

[aznxgundam978]

Someone delete my comment cause obviously people cant handle it when someone puts their opinion out there.

If I hate little Wayne who are you to tell me Im wrong? Jesus.

[ijerrodrock]

1 person doesn't know what good music is

[MELIPAISITA]

@ijerrodrock it was probably a souljaboy ahahaha

[nerdkahN]

A very well executed philosophy of the modern human life

[TheNJoyProductions]

damn man nujabes had the illest beats ever now he's gone but he will always be remembered in hert,now shing 02 substantial ando others are making it big

[cconnorss]

Why tha hell do I go to all these AMAZING hip-hop/rap pages and see people talking about lil wayne? Who cares about him? The more you talk about lil wayne and put his name in your mouth, yes the more popular he will be. Kinda like Freddy Kruegar that way lol. We're here for good music, not hate against some popular asshole, aight. Much love, and keep doin ya thang Substantial! Real music still is here, just gotta look beneath the surface, under the ground.

[GrrItsGracie]

@cconnorss I know your intentions are good, but by even mentioning him is kind of going against what you say. If I were you, just tell people to stop hating and enjoy the music! Yeah? :D

[KidRiffTV]

@cconnorss thats some real shit. main stream hip hop is toxic tho man...if ppl are baptized into this music they never really understand it or why ppl have diff flows. shits good music. 

[BombsOnTrees]

@cconnorss respect to that bro

[funsizebeaner]

ffucken amazing! :)))

[dougsan123]

fuck all off them rappers. none of them could ever reach substantial's level, let alone the rest of hip hop artists like him who rap for reason.

[Bob42jh]

make sure you check out BOP ALLOY (Substantial & Marcus D)!

[rainspider]

Its real sad we lost one of the best producers of our time. RIP Nujabes

[plasticmannequin2000]

r.i.p. seba-san, we'll be missing you for ever :(

substantial+nujabes=WIN!

[GMunny5]

my favorite part of the whole song is when he talks about living your life to the fullest like any day could be your last because tommorow the sun may not come up, and not to let your life end in sorrow...

[xbearsfan01x]

lil wayne is the death of "hip hop" ,... thats wat he calls it

[northside420]

damm the lyrical content ...

[aesopk]

shut the fuck up about lil' wayne already... if u dont like him dont mention his name. Lil' wayne is actually half decent even tho i dont really listen to him. Ur just mad that he's on top. There are WAY worse rappers out there you should be bitching about. Get over it already

[mr559]

@aesopk I actually gave it a try and listen to some of Wayne's stuff that wasn't about Lollipop and it was actually good.

I'm with you, I'm tire of hearing people mention Wayne's name.

[toket420]

love love LOVE this song

[SoulandDreams11]

My silver earrings turned diamond after listening to this.

[penismcgee123]

This track has been helping me cope with the news of the death of Nujabes, my favorite contemporary artist. Thanks samukaira for posting this, and thanks to Substantial for such a heartfelt track.

[scarlettestr]

*sigh* RIP Nujabes :(

[THEREALSIDGUY]

HIPHOP LIVES!!!! LONG LIVE REAL MUSIC

[gh0stToby]

Wow. One person disliked this song. Whoever that was must not love real rap, and must worship Lil' Wayne

[lazymoron101]

@gh0stToby no he tried to hit the like button but missed XDDD

[MisterJVish]

R.I.P. Nujabes

ive always dreamed of making the most laid back track with nujabes.... ive been listenin to his music for 8 years and ive been waitin for him to come out with more beautiful tracks.

The sun might not come out Tomorrow

Don't let your Life end in Sorrow

[raitei202]

This one's is for you my brother. Aint no happy endings Jun, Rest In Peace.

[kidkitna]

RIP Leezy and Jun Seba aka 'Nujabes'

[TheYondaimeHero]

In the world of Hip-Hop, sometimes there aren't Happy Endings...

RIP Nujabes, the man counting stars in heaven...

[LepaShandy]

@ RedHookDay

I couldn't agree more.

R.I.P Nujabes

You were a true genius

5*

[DjKojix]

Yo imma put it like this man.. Substantial is crazy, one of the best to me in my point of view...& to be real WAYNE is gay, he cant even free style..And Substantial him self can..But i give it to WAYNE he is on top of this game but doing time for this shit ahahahah ( WEAK ASS NIGGA)

But my point is that.

Substantial

is cool and his shit is clean and smooth...

cant say nothign else

5/5

CLOUD9

[RedHookDay]

This song has never seemed so fitting

[skeetor321]

Ayo Everyone is arguein but..I wouldnt forget to give sub props for his music...so what about wayne and others..lets just stick to the prosp...good shit sub stay big bro.

[Tomminightmare]

I think hes right though. We dont need to say this rappers good this rappers bad like good rappers need te be defended. Let the music speak for itself.

[rallykarate]

where can I get the lyrics to this?

[ProBinderSpinner]

lyrics??

[Redk00laid]

the emotions in the song are so strong. gets me every time and makes me contemplate about life for a while ..

[redblazerpea]

could you imagine if nujabes went mainstream and was on the mtv music awards?!?! NO!!!!

[TheCookyface]

dont ever say that shit ever again

[redblazerpea]

@TheCookyface haha. it was a terrible nightmare i had!!

[TheCookyface]

me too

[kabukiforever]

seriously dude dont even think that

[redblazerpea]

yeah i know, these artists are like undiscovered tresure which should always remain a secret.

[o0debs]

and live everyday like its your last life gets only harder as life goes pas tyo the sun might not come out tomorrow dont let your life end in sorrow

[SoulandDreams11]

He's Right There Ain't No Happy Ending

[aznxgundam978]

Lil' Wayne can't even touch the amount of thought that people like this put into one word of their music even if made 10,000 platinum hits. Music like this is what lets me remember that people still know that music isn't a trade, it's art.

[raypku]

well said.

[redblazerpea]

@aznxgundam978 not just lil wayne but a lot of weak mainstream rappers. this is intellectual rap

[HipHopPolooza]

Why do people feel the need to throw out Lil Waynes name on every underground track on youtube, we get it you think hes a horriable rapper jeez. as if we want to come on here and hear about your opinions about what you think is real hip hop and what isnt im sure most people wont care about this opinion but just leave mainstream alone

[aznxgundam978]

Well you're sort of spewing out your own opinions as well and I would assume the comment system was made for people to do that. So... :/

[HipHopPolooza]

Yeah that's true im contradicting myself in my previous statement my bad i didnt mean to fly off the handle its just im so sick of people talking about whos real and whos not music is an artform in which all should be respected regardless of a persons opinion, but once again my apologies for being belligerent

[aznxgundam978]

@HipHopPolooza It's all good. Let's just enjoy what Sabe Jun left here. RIP

[shawondemand]

@aznxgundam978 Ya ya ya bullshit some of Lil wayne's songs are actually good.

For the retarded people on youtube: I said SOME.

[0mari123212]

@shawondemand If only some of his songs are good. He is a fake.

[FunkS0ulBr0tha]

@aznxgundam978 truetruetruetrue

[SteveOmari]

@aznxgundam978 word is born and your so correct man. real talk. 

[randomluck14]

i agree

[U88allDay]

fuck the radio! keep it underground!!

[Swampinator]

is this sampled from something?

[kamisama94564]

I cant think of any Nujabes works that isnt sampled. I couldnt tell you the name of the song though. sorry.

[Swampinator]

"Everything happens to me," I believe.

[gh0stToby]

This is what rap is suppose to be. Fuck Lil' Wayne.

[ChampDJ]

agreed. i never knew who the rapper was i only knew this was by Nujabes

[MyEyesRealizeLies]

Word.

[blackpowerkid87]

thats what the fuck im saying lol fuck the fake shiit

[richardrockssss]

well said

[BabyJthe1]

Amen

[skptcore]

@gh0stToby  agreed

[northside420]

@gh0stToby u all shouldnt be even mentioning a wack ass wayne.. respect a true artist like substantial.

[juswolf22]

@gh0stToby Not taking up for lil wayne but every real hip hop vid i check i see some comment about lil wayne....its like okay the point is got, can we listen to good music and leave positive comments instead of bringin up this guy everytime for an example of what good music isnt.

[TEAMxEPICxSPACE]
