N.A.S.A. "Money" (feat. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, & Z-Trip)

[transatlant1c]

Triple J!

[musicaldopeness]

10 dollar bill is Hamilton and 20 dollar bill is Jackson

[chickenpimPP]

There is no such thing as a 'root of all evil'. It's the choices you make that define you.

[PyroPivot]

@chickenpimPP Im glad to see someone who understands my way of thinking here.

my comment wasnt pointed toward the video, it was pointed towards the warped ideas of some of the users out there. In a nutshell, what I was saying is.. Money has this world organized. You cant blame an inanimate object for causing harm. You can only blame the psychological frame of the person who is using that object.

[SupaHous3]

OBEY <3

[xMernaxEGreenx]

people are the root of all evil

[MHoerbe1]

I dont even believe in it but the song is really catchy xD

[bryancampbell511]

should have probably bothered to learn the presidents and what bills they are on before having this video put out... alexander hamilton is on the 10...andrew jackson is on the 20...

[fcconvert]

Silly noobs greed is the root of all evil.

[cameltoh220]

@ANCESTERSMEMORIES what the hell is an epidimy? Anyways its not like the drugs make you do them..? Don't blame drugs dude they just do what they're supposed to

[cameltoh220]

@ANCESTERSMEMORIES also you spelled ancestors wrong and epidemy is spelled epitome

[shortiexoxo]

OMG I LOVE SHEPARD FAIREY'S ARTWORK!! Proooo. love it in this :)

[TheEmerald92]

Obey

[SaylorJL]

Actually it's the love of money that's the root of all evil.

[stevothemanlyman]

@SaylorJL yes but you cant have the love of money without money, so money is the root of the root of all evil.

[PyroPivot]

Food for thought, without money, government wouldn't be organized at all and people would just steal from one another, too lazy to do the work that keeps society the way it is. I for one would definitively rather live in 2011 then thousands of years ago before currency. Have you guys ever watched one of those apocalyptic movies where people board up their front doors and EVERY family is awake every second afraid for their lives? Well if our money suddenly disappeared that's what would happen.

[hiphopsocnroc]

@PyroPivot i think you mean currency...b/c for those of us who understand what "money" really is, we will be well off, as compared to others

[loggnogg]

@PyroPivot Ahem, Government is people who do no work at all and just limit others lives. I'm pretty sure farmers would still farm and so on, but yes, useless work would be abolished :] & I would kill to live thousands of years ago when our world was beautiful, so I'm not going to read the rest of what you said. Peace ^^

[loggnogg]

Also, your fear is what would bring you harm. But it's not my problem :)

[yertles]

@PyroPivot, If the disappearance of money causes evil things, money is still the root of those evil things. Although I agree that money doesn't only bring bad things, it has also given us a lot. Without money people would still do bad things.

[Pimapple314]

@PyroPivot this video IS food for thought, you shouldn't have to try to convince people that money is desirable because that is how most people already think. You are encouraging fear and telling people to watch apocalyptic movies and that if money "disappeared" what happens in those movies would really occur. Do you think this video is about dismissing the idea of currency completely? What I see is that this video is just pointing out the huge problem with the idea of capitalism.

[MystikAustin26]

@PyroPivot i dont think that what they are trying to say is that the money itself is the problem but what it stands for(power) and all of the problems it brings. like what the post above says it is the LOVE of money that creates the issues...like greed etc....

[MrTuckerBlue]

@PyroPivot you sir are an idiot. just sayin

[Huntrr1]

@PyroPivot If your not generating at least a little bit of hate, you're doing something wrong ;) Well said mate.

[rjc1441]

@PyroPivot you are dumb the indians lived well and didn't even believe in ownership never mind capital

[Bushleaguer28]

He got the $10 and $20 mixed up...

Some of the folks on Liberty Plaza know this, and they didn't even have to read the Bible or Marx.

[decker1215]

Was the David Byrne part his song before this or did he do it specifically for this song???

[subpop76]

uma garota chamada Lauren estava andando em uma floresta, e de repente desapareceu, ninguém nunca encontrou até 200x, quando uma outra menina chamada Maria encontrou o corpo e marcas em seu peito dizendo: não foi o suficiente bonito "e agora você leu isso, ela aparecerá em seu espelho dizendo que não são bonitas o suficiente e matá-lo! (pela forma como a menina chamada Mary morreu pouco depois) Para salvar você colar isso em outras 5 videos.ESTO VERDADEIRO

[OvaNineThousand]

Sad. A song 'bout commercialism and the like stuck with ads every time you try 'n watch.

[btvbrndn]

i think its so cool that shepard fairey used a lot of his obey propaganda artworks for this

[mattgutt010]

[tasman001]

Ironic that Shepard Fairey did the animation on a video about money and crass opportunism.

[SpikyDane]

lmao, more left wing propaganda

[turkishxgold]

@piercechrist HAMILTON IS ON THE 50!

[ansikt714]

@johnnnnnnny86 The star with the face is just a star with Andre the Giant face on it, which is Shepard Fairey's (OBEY) logo. It would just be like putting the Nike symbol in a triangle so to speak. Hope that wasn't too confusing.

[69GamerChannel]

Great MV

[graysonsmarrt21]

[mistax2k]

people are the root of all evil... money is just paper and ink

[Roackarul]

@mistax2k plastic too.

dope song and video

[MrJames6565]

@mistax2k and something you need to earn to live a healthy life :/

[dodgydodds]

@mistax2k correction satan is. And the flesh itself even corrupts.

[qerplonk]

In no way is it sad to form your idea of how the world works from rappers. Promise.

[johnnnnnnny86]

What is that symbol, the star with the face in it?

[AtticusWar]

u no rap ideals and communist ideals are quite contradictory?

[lymon]

@AtticusWar rap doesn't have ideals, rap is a medium of musical expression that only the artist can fill with form. Some mainstream artist choose to rap about what they know, which is bitch and hoes and making money. Others know different realities.

[ohhhsnaaap]

Funny there is a commercial before this video hahah

[cameltoh220]

@ohhhsnaaap yea? and? ya know running a record label isn't free... This particular label has reasonably priced products most likely thanks to advertisements like these...

[cameltoh220]

@cameltoh220 and before you reply I would like to say I think it is a little evil that money is necessary for them to be able to spread their message(s)

[purplehaze2005]

Прикольный клипец!!!

[synthanima]

wrong!!!!! MAN is the root of all evil

[Miscellaneousnessly]

Stay in school. Jackson is on the twenty Hamilton is on the ten.

[jdpham6]

i like the vid and the song though

[jdpham6]

the presidents were wrong for alexander hamilton and andrew jackson.

[estansal]

Style is the message - BANDIT 1$M.

This is truly the case in this video, as the artists are all extremely politically aware/active, and also, have enough talent AND balls to do something about it.

Greatest congratulations and salutations! Keep up the amazing work, I, personally FUCKING LOVE Shepard Fairey's work and am overjoyed to see it collaborated with in such a manner.

Highly recommended video. Well done.

[CriticaLxThoughX]

It´s reeeeeally critical and reeeeeally artistic at the same time.The combination and harmony of aesthetic and message is perfect!

[jazzybrandon808]

why is there all these adds for nasa vids when they supposedly dont support it????

[MindlessMichiel]

14 people didn't got the message.

[c6burns]

Yeah anyone who thinks songs and videos like this get put together as some kind of hipster peener measuring contest clearly has some issues ...

The video and song are a pretty sweet expression ... if you dont like it fine. But you just make yourself look pathetic and small trying to put it down ;)

[Roma131092]

OBEY!!!!

[alwaysxnever]

Sick vid. Too bad like many they get the quote wrong. it's, " The love of money is the root of evil".

[IIxPstylesxII]

NASA, Drugs & Illuminati. <3

[P4uloMF]

great video !!

[certifiedpet]

too bad you dont know what hipster means

[certifiedpet]

DMT hyperspace @ 3:31

[OpakeArawra2]

[certifiedpet]

@OpakeArawra2

[OpakeArawra2]

@certifiedpet no, i don't like it because a shitty song and a lame fucking video. omgomg let's so how hipster and cool we can be with our rap music video you guys XD

[Sagal008]

@OpakeArawra2

u dont get it right? if u dont understand the song/video...dont look it. better for u and ur face.

[OpakeArawra2]

@Sagal008 i understand the video. but the whole thing is done very shittily and it just fucking sucks shit.

[RabbiiFrystofsk]

@OpakeArawra2

Your comment is done very "shittily" as you would put it.

[Anothercoilgun]

@OpakeArawra2

We don't like you.

[EVillaBrah]

So...Is this a song with or against the Illuminati ? I'm confused.

[AhmedUitVenlo]

Does anyone know what he says after the world is your friend (the door open in ????)

[joshshi135]

N.A.S.A is awsome, the video is always perfect for the song

[lenarita1]

the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

[AllanGrim]

lol "una platita por favor" hahaha

[fernaruto]

severo, todos los monachos y pegatinas de OBEY reunidos

[CaptainAhab789]

Money is not evil. Money is a simply a unit of exchange. How can you buy drugs without money?

[genau141]

I need money who can give me some .

[PingusFR]

ouh we hate money, we hate rich people. Come on ladies, shut it, it's our world. Great clip anyway.

[axhfan]

Yep. This sounds like a song a bunch of rich guys would perform.

[zombiecarcasses]

funny obey/shepard did this video since he's a big shot money maker now...

[92lilyboo]

0BEY

[soundwave87]

the love for money is the root of all evil, not money itself, it's about what your heart desires yo

Song from Damages Season 3

[Wildwolf012]

Wow This Is A Wonderfully Crafted Video, Without Opinions This Would Have Never Been Created...

[justicekibbe]

Andrew Jackson is on the twenty dollar bill, and Alexander Hamilton is on the ten dollar bill.

[agaigreen]

Obey works are great

[TheLittleSo]

2:43 => Guitar Hero I or II , I don't remember.

[giddyupya]

you are out for dead presidents...........?

well, look closely......

it is exactly the opposite

[FlyingFreak67]

Love the art, disagree with the politics though... This artist will be extremely easy to immitate with an extreme right-wing bias... I just may do that!!!!!

[RainbowSushiNight]

you obviously have no understanding of us politics or it's agenda then... and hey, that's just my opinion.

[FlyingFreak67]

Without opinions, great art like this would not be possible. I actually did do a Shepard Fairey immitation (with a conservative bias). I started like a day after I origionally wrote my comment. I am finished. I will set a photo of it as my youtube page background.

[teepsterr]

@FlyingFreak67 your "immitation" is a complete insult to Shepard Fairey.

[dagalagas]

||your "immitation" is a complete insult to Shepard Fairey. |||

Fairey just ripped off the old Soviet art style about 20 years after the Church of the Sub-Genius beat him to it.

[teepsterr]

@FlyingFreak67

you can create stencils that don't imitate fairey's images , but they won't be very powerful considering the fact that street art is the "poor man's art" . street art was invented by lower class in urban areas who wanted to create art, but didn't have the money for art classes, canvases, and materials. so the city became their canvas. the right wing party doesn't support street art or the lower classes, that's why you don't see Fairey making a HOPE MCCAIN portrait

[Argon165]

Money is printed paper

[teepsterr]

Word of the day:

Plutocracy.

Def. - political system governed by wealthy people.

Sound familiar anyone

[MegalonsRevenge]

@teepsterr kakistocracy: government governed by the LEAST qualified people. sound even more familiar anyone?

[hugofay]

YEEEAAHHH !!!!!  OBEY

OPEN YOUR MINDS AND FREE YOURSELVES

you really dont get it do you people murder other for money big companys bosses take money from the lesser bringing the world in a crisis thats why money is the root of al evil

[delgadomusicart]

what program can i use to make this kind of animations???please reply my comment if you know

[gigabit942007]

Adobe after effects,3ds max,photoshop and maybe others but after effects is the main program

[Tnargrant117]

Honey, HONEY!

Honey honey honey honey honey

Honey is the favorite snack of a seagull;

[coreno123]

haha honey

[namwok]

lol the song goes "money is the root of all evil." and you can't figure out what the video is about? It's not exactly rocket science. Sure there are some more vague references that you might not get if you don't follow his art work and political stance, but you don't need to read too much into this video to 'get it'....

but to answer your question: you should do drugs and try watching it again.

[CaptainAhab789]

Money is a unit of exchange that represents labor. If anything is evil, it is inflation and hyper-inflation. You can't say money is evil anymore than you can say trading your sandwich for your friends gummy bears at the lunch table is evil.

[namwok]

Yes I can.

And Gummy bears are evil too! Take your high-fructose corn syrup eating butt back to school!

j/kin man, you make a good point. I think Money is an analogy for Greed in this sense.

[aleshamahon]

Money is the root of all Good -

and if anyone disagrees give all your cash to me (its evil remember) then try trading your 5 pencils and the stapler for half a loaf of bread, all the while hoping someone needs your crap!

(one example).

[howisbabbyformed]

you're a twit.

[bahremon2170]

What an amazing video I love it

[dale71S]

"money changes everything"

"money,money,money, money is the root of all evil."

They are right, money is a crap!

but who does not like him?

Eles têm razão, o dinheiro é uma bosta!

mas quem não gosta dele?! rs

[CaptainAhab789]

This video is a little too esoteric for my taste. Should I be on drugs first before I "get it"? Just wondering. I mean no offense...

[hollandthebest1]

yea you should:P go do it and listen it again it will be better i swearXD

[rseniq]

Go see James Cameron's "They Live". That should clear up a thing or two.

[bahremon2170]

No sir you just need a handful of intelligence and an open mind.

[woutvsas]

just do some research on what money really is. I recommend money = debt. You can find it on google. I think also here on youtube. You need money to survive, so who owns the money owns the world. Check out the movie you will understand. Drugs are bad for you Peace.

[0bootle8]

IT DOES SOUND BETTER EVERY TIME

[marquezdagreatest]

IT DUZ DOE DUNNIT DOE LOL
