great song...unfortunately wrongful convictions are a byproduct of our legal system. check out the innocence project, a great organization fighting to make sure those who are wrongfully convicted are exonerated.

[j1g2w3]

Also on this tune is Dice Raw, a pretty underrated rapper if you ask me! Who is the lady doing the vocals?

[rombelteis]

Is this also produced by j dilla?

[x0Bio0x]

Soul Hip Hop to the max!

[maximerjb]

Black Thought , Mos Def & Common? Am I in heaven?

[j1g2w3]

@maximerjb Hip Hop Heaven!

[ShadyTalezzz]

Respect from Poland!

[XxBuRkaDuRkA]

Nothing better than some good ass hip hop to relax too.

[2koolken]

i felt Mos Def was the most DEF

[Zackthebest94]

Yo, if yall like The Roots and Mos Def, check out Hieroglyphics and Souls of mischief

[rombelteis]

@Zackthebest94 definitely!

[mlhayes91]

stop bringing up rappers you don't like. Talk about the artists in the video. If you're gonna mention someone else be like "Yo, if yall like The Roots and Mos Def, check out [insert rapper]" and promote positive conversation. By mentioning the dudes you hate out of nowhere, you make the conversation about them and just keep them more relevant. Some of yall 'real' hip-hop fans are practically promoting wack rappers cuz they're the only ones we read about on these videos.

[OnlineHipHopTV]

@mlhayes91 I never undertood they, why they would mention a rapper they dont like to compare them on youtube and write a comment about it, they must be really happy that they found out theres better rappers out there

[mlhayes91]

@OnlineHipHopTV yea man, I don't get it either. And I'm not trying to sound like Internet police by telling people to stop naming wack dudes, but it's counter-productive considering that these people are trying to do away with the garbage music out there, yet it's all they talk about. Also, props to @Zackthebest94 for doing what I recommend and promote good music. Lmao homie even took the first half of my sentence word for word hahaha.

[jamelsoufkak]

@mlhayes91 I have to copy and paste your comment on other videos...damn that was PROFOUND and TRUE...Peace.*

[SilentButDeadlyGamin]

@mlhayes91 Alright man if you like the roots and Mos Def you should check out a quest called tribe and outkast, or if you want something more recent try immortal technique, Army of the pharoahs, jedi mind tricks, Elzhi, Fuze the MC, Reks,Reef the lost cauze Pharoah monche or one be lo.

[mlhayes91]

@SilentButDeadlyGamin that's the type of comment I like seeing. Thanks to your comment, I will now check out Fuze the MC, who I hadn't heard of before your comment. I know and love all the other artists you mentioned tho. Thanks for the suggestion, brother.

[KilluminatiWESTSIDE]

@WhiteGirlKTRAP STOP SAYING HIS FUCKING NAME

[MrLazyrain]

i mark every little wayne comment as spam because not because i like his which i don't but because they aren't relvant to what were listing to what happened to good rap? what happened to constructive comments?

[RandomVGuy]

the best of conscious rap on one track

[Bongreefa]

Why is lil wayne even brought up in the comments on this shit he shouldnt even be a comparison at all

[sirsmokinstien]

@Bongreefa they bring him up because they are hoping for some thumbs up.

[KilluminatiWESTSIDE]

@Bongreefa STOP SAYING HIS FUCKING NAME

[BlumpProductions]

why does very song by talib, mos, common, nas, etc. turn into an argument about Lil Wayne? Just enjoy the fuckin song

[MrGangstabeast]

hurricane by bob dylan is a great song to

[BlazersRus]

Your just putting their names out there making them more popular.

[DylanFkinGuenther]

Hey, everyone in an attempt to get rid of things like lil wayne can we just stop mentioning him, the more hate the more check him out and the more views he gets. His name dissapears and so does he is my hope.

[shoshoni1985]

Dantes lines are one of the best i ever heard.... Would like to hear something alike.... They make this song so good!!!!

[Maximize3rdEyes]

Jazzyfatnastees, Flo Brown és Dice Raw lemaradt, de a lényeg h a track klasszikus.

[noelzion]

[surfsydney]

what is this released on? where can i download from? such a dope track

[tripfunkmonster]

I identify with reading a book that changes your life. For me it was Jackie Robinson's autobiography when I was 11. It blew my mind. I never read shit like that before. I hope young people are still reading it.

[nattynativekid17]

i like this version but i like the mos dub version by max tannone better

[rjvernesto]

Why this people are Comparing Lil Wayne & Crap with the Legends ???

Just leave that matter away to People who fall on Million Dollar Million View Music Videos ...

We know what HiHop is ... We Just Stick to the Golden Age & Undeground :)

Just Enjoy the Track .. :)

[koeniegast]

i dont wanna hate on Lil Wayne

i do respect his stuff

but this is just better

[Spryt07]

hold on ! these guys is spitting philosophy social commentary, relevant concepts and truth with a flow to possibly be compared to the great poets of fine literature-and we start talking about folks who's best stuff is about how to love a ___? wow....

[illkilla100]

DOPE SHIT!!!!!

[zjaypo]

We should stop discussing fake ass money chasing rappers and talk about the real emcee's in this TRUTH right here.....just sayin

[dozebooze]

what if i told y'all lil wayne IS mos def

im just playing but srsly it doesnt matter

[jhammaster]

oh for god sakes people think little wayne is the best because he say he is. if mos said it we will have a great competition and plus they're two different rappers what the hell is with the comparisons.

[Ksteacy1]

@israel97725 outrageous claim......HA

[rdegioann452]

could i find this song in a roots' album?

[gregre80]

@israel97725 take 2 more hits of acid. you will feel better in the morning!

[colinsarcasm]

Comparing those two rappers is like comparing tequlia and whiskey. Some like one some like another. They have different flavors (flows). Just enjoy.

[LeopoldSuper13]

I love how they are not speaking about money, tricks, and pushing a fresh benz.

[yackon4game]

I dont get why all i hear is how much people hate rappers like lil wayne. waka flocka, and gucci mane. but they are still ridiculously famous... its frustrating, why does the word "mainstream" have to be so negative? honestly whos in charge of making these people famous? why cant great music be heard and stupid cheap horrible auto tuned over produced talentless retard shit be forced underground? i wish i could turn on the radio and not hear justin beiber and lil wayne. i want more of this!

[ooooooooooooO111]

@yackon4game one word , Capitalism.

[n000bsaib0t]

Yoo if you like this song check out the mash-up I made with these vocals and a Slick Rick instrumental. Guaranteed Enjoyment!!! Let me know what you think :)

[Jumbo0225]

Mos Def > Lil Wayne. end of argument

[Regset]

@Jumbo0225 nas>mos def

[bc146]

take lil wayne: metaphors, whitty lines; no real storyline. Yea he has that "oh shit" factor that makes ppl think that the verse is hot cuz he says some wild shit., but substance is always lacking.

take Black Thought: similes, mulitis, an amazing flow. Even when hes not specifically tellin a story he still gives you a message to think about. he thinks outside of himself and makes you reflect yourself n the world around you. He brings you into his world in order to connect with yours

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

Wayne who?? wtf stop bringing up wayne on these videos. wtf is a lil wayne? that is NOT hip hop. oh okay. Thanks. good music play on!

[Dietzzzz]

i like how dice raw doesnt get credit in the title of this video

[cacuknow]

Mos Def's verse is da best I've eva heard in my life!

[rdegioann452]

great song!

w rubin carter!

[fir3boy]

Lil Wayne sucks, just some dumb kids who think thats real rap. Probably fell into listening to rap by peer pressure or because they think its "Cool". I pity the people who haven't been educated to good music.

[elixer92]

@fir3boy

thats the truth i showed this kid underground and he was like dang everything is better the beats and what they say actually makes sense ever since then we've been best friends..the song i showed him first was common nag champa..then the rest is history....but yea more people would know if b.e.t. didnt fire free and aj but i always hated BET so idc i was raised on my uncles cassette tape and tony hawks rap selections on his games lol

[spitttbulll]

awesome

[145soldier]

hip-hop @ its best

[collegeboi317]

man he snapped on dis

[js180]

i don't understand why someone would even try to compare weezy and mos def there totally different rappers 2 different types of rap

[sackobobby123]

@js180 yea one is real rap the other just sucks

[X3MastaxKillah3X]

@js180 Nah, you're incorrect. Mos Def is HIP HOP. Weezy is cRAP. If it ever came down to it, Mos would Def murder Weezy in any form of battle. Weezy has shown that his brain capacity is incapable of making sense while he freestyles, lmao.

[gatman0]

@js180 i agree they shouldnt be compared.. not because they are tottaly different tho. but because mos is on a whole nother level.. and I wanna say genre.. mos is down with hip hop where wayne is down with hip pop or some shit..

only other ppl who should be compared with wayne is his whack ass label-mates and dudes like soulja boy.

[IronAndSteelTilDeath]

@js180 Yes. Weezy is bad and Mos Def is good. Two different kinds of rap.

[CrimeLife13]

@IronAndSteelTilDeath

Cant compare Wayne with Mos...One is garbage and the other one is a lyricist

[gloyal]

@js180 yea-one-good-and-the-other-is-­trash

[JahxBee]

@js180 yeah lil wayne sucks and mos def is good

[zachatack727]

@js180 2 different levels, not types

[coopsmack11]

@js180 mosdef is good rap and lil wayne is bad rap?

though carter 2 is tight but i heard he didnt even write his lyrics on it

in fact ive heard theres been more than a little ghost writing goin on for lil wayne

[jazzr03]

@js180

ya i dont either thatsjus retarded

[1234mcglyn]

@js180 yeah fake as shitty rapper like lil wayne n actually talented rapper like mos def theres a diff between a fag and an artist

[1234mcglyn]

@js180 yeah fake ass shitty rapper like lil wayne n actually talented rapper like mos def theres a diff between a fag and an artist

[Jahmess123]

@js180 PLUS THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Lil Wayne ain't 1/100th of mos def!

[chitsweire]

@js180 You're right, it is 2 different types of rap: Mos Def is good rap and Lil Wayne is bad. Simple as that.

[TheAzthlaN]

@js180 lil Wayne is a rapper? o.O

[TheDogod]

@js180 plus the fact that lil wayne is really bad at it

[mrdreadeye808]

@js180 agreed mosdef=hip hop music, weezy=dieng goat noises with electronic beads

[eliandnoahproduction]

@js180 Yeah, quality rap and terrible shit :p

[DOOMWang]

@js180 Two completely styles, good and bad.

[shaqkhi]

@js180 thats just a clever way to back up the fact that Lil Wayne is not that good.

[deathbyjoshlol]

@js180 correction, Mos Def is a rapper. Lil Wayne is a Martian.

[ssbrosking36]

@js180 Regardless, Mos Def is a genuine good rapper with a lot of passion and talent. Lil Wayne is just a nigger.

[NDirishboy26]

@js180 lil wayne is not rap..but i get your point

[pharoah275]

No, no, no, Mos def is a my nigga, 1 love. But Weezy spit it and is on his way to be da best. Lyrically you can learn more prob from Mos Def. But if thats what makes an artist better (whats real), than so many whoop Mos Def, Lauren hill, dead prez, prince EA, Tupac, Jay electronica, immortal technique.

But yea I feel Mos def is that nigga

[bjacobsdabest123]

Mos Def is way better than Lil Wayne

Straight up

[kwelimos]

only an idiot would say wayne is better than mos.....

[bjacobsdabest123]

@kwelimos

Word son.

Listen to Mos Def & Jay Electronica Exhibit B. Mos Def went of on that song.

[zampakto93]

@bjacobsdabest123 lil wayne cant rap fo shit

[bjacobsdabest123]

@zampakto93

Exactly, there is so many rappers better than him.

[ezk10003]

@bjacobsdabest123

No comparison!

[tomozolli88]

@bjacobsdabest123 Was that ever arguable haha obviosly hes better!

[EazySPM]

@bjacobsdabest123 Hell yeah, dont let these dumb, ignorant fools say Lil Wayne is better. They have no idea. Everybody was sick in this song but I gotta give it to Mos Def, he fuckin ripped it raw, chewed it up, spit it out and shitted on it

[will2games]

@bjacobsdabest123

You mention the latter of these names again in the same sentence you will be revoked of your hiphop commenting privileges. Nuff said son......

[nicojs89]

f*ck lil wayne's mummbling gangbanging ass. this is true hip hop. poetry in motion

[RiftFag]

@bjacobsdabest123 Well thats just obvious.

[OooR3ooO]

@bjacobsdabest123 EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAT LIL WAYNE

[l1ghtange]

@bjacobsdabest123

Damn Str8!! who the hell would evaaa doubt that?

[ibreathehiphop10]

@bjacobsdabest123 haha obviously mos is a legend who even compared him to wayne

[bjacobsdabest123]

@shutthefuckuploser

The only reason why his name shows up on alot of videos is because of his false assumptions. He claim hes the best rapper alive, which is nowhere near true. & The reason for his name showin up on the Real Hip Hop videos is because were either commenting on how these MCs are better than him or were bashin his name with negative comments. So if your not apart of it, us Hip Hop fans would kindly ask you to press the big Youtube sign in the upper left hand corner.

[bjacobsdabest123]

@shutthefuckuploser

Why would you come to a Hip Hop video just to try and take Wayne's side. Im not hating, Im just voicing my opinion. & Its hard not to bring him up when that nigga on the radio every 20 minutes, and everyone is on his dick. So as I said before, Mos Def is straight up better than Lil Wayne. I think you know that too, you probably just dont want to admit it.

[bjacobsdabest123]

@shutthefuckuploser

Im not hating, Im voicin my opinion. & My intent was just to listen to a good song, but that day I posted that comment I was arguing the fact that Wayne wasnt the best rapper alive with my whole class. So thats how this comment came about.

[shutthefuckuploser]

@bjacobsdabest123 no, your not voicing your opinion, your coming to a mos def video on youtube and WRITING about how lil wayne sucks. leave ur fuckin opinion to urself or talk about it with your friends, i dont understand why u take time out of ur life to say something negative about another person on the internet?

[KilluminatiWESTSIDE]

@shutthefuckuploser You shut your bitchy ass up, hes stating his fucking opinion, queer.

[shutthefuckuploser]

@KilluminatiWESTSIDE hey read my name

[thuglord007]

@bjacobsdabest123 Comparing Mos Def to Lil Wayne is insulting to Mos bro

[basti785]
