Sage Francis - Escape Artist

[aeharding]

too much of a pussy to touch those moderately clean toilets.

[XEROWKY]

240p...we meet again...

[EMIN3Mfan2010]

If u like Sage, chances are you'll like Brother Ali, check him out! Another great artist is Slug, you should check out his tunes by searching for songs by Atmosphere (his band)

[bo7427]

I like some of his stuff, but am I the only one who finds him pretentious?



[btgmofo]

@bo7427 he comes off as pretty pretentious, but he's less preachy and more opinionated. im a pretty big sage fan, i think he wants listeners to take it, leave it, or whatever else you may choose to do.

[JoshRagDoll420]

Tearing this shit up.

[NooseMusic1988]

I would never compare myself to Sage but would appreciate it if anyone out there who likes raw Hip-Hop such as this to check out my music. I know nothing about promoting but fuck it, you gotta start somewhere lol...

[SomeoneOnTheRun]

@NooseMusic1988 Like it! :) Killasophical is good. You need to focus more on flow.

[LuIKaNg2006]

So I had to do a project based on lyrical comprehension and I didn't do it. When it came around to presenting in front of class, I didn't know what to do, so I sang this song. Thank you for helping me get an "A" Sage. You're a beast.

[justinsanass]

Anyone who hates on this is absolutely stupid stupid

[picklewead]

Anyone watching these videos will never be influenced by the propaganda commercials.

[AnalyticalApex]

i've never seen this video with all the sound effects intact

[nUcLeArOuTcAsT]

So I might be stupid but what the fuck does this video mean?

[Radiobunny23]

@nUcLeArOuTcAsT your not stupid. this video is about making fruit salad with stick figures.

[rayzian]

@nUcLeArOuTcAsT the song he's talking about hiphop (magic) as a whole... the video means he's chasing something that can't be caught (which is what hip hop used to be) at least that's my interpretation.... anyway i don't remember all these sound effects on the video before..

[PushPeace]

Sage is a straight ill. Inspires the hell outta me.

[SocialErn]

one of the fastest rapping ive EVER heard, props sage francis!

[itchin4scratches]

@SocialErn check out his friend eyedea

r.i.p. cbgbs

[SimplicityJuxtaposed]

It's refreshing to actually see a video where there are no racial slurs being made, and no naked girls dancing around just for the sake of being seen. I appreciate what you have done for my music preferences. Thank you.

[PurpleHaze1824]

I got out of that game escape artist/ I talk till I'm red in the face and strain polyps, I'll rock 'till I'm out of my range then raise octaves.

I like Sage Francis because is intelligent, he doesn't cloud it by rhyming over a shitty beat with baby words and how the nigga's flow is continuous, its like spoken word so poetic, he has the delivery of a pastor, delivering a sermon.

Search Eddie Pesos "Greatness" Puerto Rock kid from Philly droppin' ill joints on the mic.

[Graiskye]

wow this dude has some MAD skilllz.

[LHSStuntman]

If the ad's support sage, and he keeps doing his thing then fuck it. More power to him.

[nefarioustrumpet]

Men fucking, youre a true bitch

[stillflyblown]

I love hip hop, but I have so much trouble finding artists who aren't cheesy or shallow. This guy is one of the few with real talent.

[bignastynic]

rediciously amazing.

[10qaws]

hypnosis for sleep (deep sleep) vid on here a freind had posted asked me to ask you to fuckin watch it if you want to ..

[GonewithaBlastwave]

I am growing a beard, not because of this video but because it sounded like a good idea 3 weeks ago so I didnt stop I just feel that this was a good place to discuss beards

[kalphitekil]

@GonewithaBlastwave Meee toooo!

[Javel1984]

@GonewithaBlastwave Your note amused me 6 months after You had posted it. So yes, it was good idea to grow a beard and share this idea. Thank You for that dude.

[hagenja]

@GonewithaBlastwave Crazy. I came here to discuss beards too. I also decided to randomly grow a beard. I am pretty sure I am over a month or so into it. One day, it will be half as epic as Sage's in this vid.

[SGillespie1985]

@GonewithaBlastwave Beard!

[mcrsrevengeparade]

[jrsunolan]

His rhymes remind me vaguely of eminem

[Isosyth]

[bandiit17]

I wonder where the beginning was filmed, it looks rather interesting.

[0ver9kay]

@bandiit17

it was filmed in a R&B/Hiphop club that's been around for years..cannot remember the name of it though. But it's closed down now apparently.

I got curious and dug around with the same question years ago lol.

[Daimen555]

thumbs up cause you can motha fucka

[Fudgeyer]

THIS is music. sage is a beast!

[0ver9kay]

Sage was amazing in person. My ex bought me tickets for rise against concert few years back, and to our amazement, fucking SAGE FRANCIS opened. Almost shit my fucking pants. Great stage presence, great live.

He walked on stage with a boombox and mic haha, was so good!!!!

[Cheddar323]

@0ver9kay did you fuck Sage?! is that the reason you and your bf broke up just asking don't get mad

[0ver9kay]

@Cheddar323

lol, never said anything about a boyfriend or fucking sage, thats just your horny imagination painting pictures, sorry fag =)

[Cheddar323]

@0ver9kay damn you right you got me

[cebulla1981]

@0ver9kay Dude was that in Madison? I was totally at that show, same deal.

[sdyatesable]

shapeshifting reptilians are real. look them up.

[aesoprocket2]

[tommygalore111]

[kumanananananananan7]

[herbertbeiderbecke]

[kingjman1994]

I like how fake the car hitting him looks. :D

[SwaggedOut95]

i love how he jumped over the puddle . lol

[SinCityLvRocker]

[therealsagefrancis]

I'm very disappointed that my video has advertising attached to it. This is not cool with me at all and I hope this sh*t gets removed soon.

[BellumHipHop]

@therealsagefrancis The song and video are still dope though. ^

[ronrutherford]

@therealsagefrancis glad to hear you say that. Thumbs up the artists comment!

[nalege07]

@therealsagefrancis i am a huge fan bro, much respect for your hardwork. are u ever going to make music with busdriver. i think the colabo would be dope. just a request from a huge fan. keep destroying barriers bro!!!

[arsnikmc]

@therealsagefrancis take the advertisement as a complliment as if they were asuming that your vidio has potential to spread more than just your message but theres as well wether or not the populus cares for there messag is up to the populous...Arsnik ,musikal philosiphy for human awearness

[freshdaily4u]

@arsnikmc Thats the stupidest thing I read all day about Sage should take the advertising as a compliment. FUCK THAT, He cant attach a video to their advertisment without permission. M.D.C Multi Death Corporations, Sage I hope You get those scum bag advertisements off ur videos

[dudefrom813]

@therealsagefrancis You should be getting paid if they are advertising on your video.

[chad1419]

"C. Str8 - Muhammad Lennon" or "Life is a Joke Freestyle"...both have interesting sociopolitical connotations and need to be disseminated throughout you real hip hop heads

[yizer13]

Why the fuck is there a Bring Me The Horizon advert on this page? :|

[vr4runner]

@yizer13 i dunno more internet garb

[joinXtheXranks]

@yizer13 sage was on epitaph at one point. they are on epitaph

[SheldonMck420]

The fuck you doin with Epitaph Sage, way to let a brotha down

[gio45]

@SheldonMck420

what the deal with epithaph? I always hear people hating on them but i dont know why. whats the story behind it?

[c0dead]

@SheldonMck420 he hasn't been on epitaph for years you fucking idiot

[bavent00]

how did he make the stick man suit?

[LCxCZ]

@bavent00 Do you expect blueprints? It's probably just a black cloth with some stuffing to hold the shape.

[bavent00]

@LCxCZ. Duh....but i'm surpised to not see more of them around halloween time.

[FreestyleFletcher2]

thumbs sideways if you asdffewg!

[TheCasey16]

1:45 beard stroke =)

[stinkydangle]

really advertisements?

[MixTapeKings09]

@stinkydangle As much as I hate advertisements, if were not going to cop the album, we might as well support the artist by waiting another 15 seconds to watch the video

[khaotikharmony]

The femenine murders the masculine? Damn, that's harsh!!! Sad but true, eh!!!

[BGibby]

Sage's beard is almost as impressive as his flow and intelect.

[4cellar2door0]

@BGibby You can't even spell intellect. Irony much?

[10qaws]

@4cellar2door0 spelling will get you into heaven blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhh me tLKING...

[futchofdeth666]

P.S. "Longng" Nobody 'WANTS' to be black... sorta one of those just play the hand you're delt situations!

[deepzwestindies]

i cant hate on this nikka for being on his grind

[bakewon]

also lol @ black guy can not into proper grammar or spelling.

your sentences are highly unintelligible

[longng]

sage francis is so overatted. please do not call him can an mc or say that he can freestyle

[longng]

no offense but i could fall asleep listening to this white guy spitting jiibberish wishing he was black

[METTI1986LA]

@longng

go listen to lil wendy

[futchofdeth666]

@longng NWhich line does he say he want's to be black...if white people who rap want to be black....then are black people who are gainfully employed just trying to be white? What about nigs that stick around and raise their kids... also trying to be white... Right? that's your logic....what are you doing on a computer anyway that's made by white people too... Damn Uncle Tom, just go back to rappin and eating bannanas and we'll get the white's to quit rappin...

[TheCardsfan2]

@futchofdeth666 you're dissing a 42 yr. old from Afghanistan? Where did dude say he/she was black?

[futchofdeth666]

@TheCardsfan2 Well dick fuck, he made a comment 8 mths earlier saying he's tired of sage whining about wishing he was black... I don't give a fuck a mf'rs age or country.... If you say some ignorant stupid rascist shit I'm going to call ya on it. PS... My comment, behind all the hillariousness, stilll had a good point! FUCK RASCIST MOTHERFUCKERS AND DIPSHITS LIKE YOU WHO SUPPORT THAT IGNORANT THOUGHT PROCESS.... Read the comment above mine, catch up, then talk... dipshit

[TheCardsfan2]

@futchofdeth666 name calling on youtube behind a computer screen..very tough. I'm racist? i read your comment, you're trying to be funny and 'dance around' racism, but the "what about nigs" part is kinda uneccessary, no? You assumed dude was black and you're a weak person who talks trash over the net. This is why i try to avoid the comment section of youtube, but when somebody talks tough or resorts to name calling sometimes you gotta respond. After this nothing you win. fuckface....lol

[futchofdeth666]

@TheCardsfan2 Dude fuck off...KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF

[KisaIta661]

@longng I highly doubt anyone really wishes to be black. I mean I'm black and it SUCKS -_-" so why would anyone wanna be black. I'd much rather be Japanese or White...

[loveaskingalexadria]

@longng fuck you the. listen to the best of times.. far better song.

[Oobeleski]

That is one epic beard.

[CelticPoison]

wtf, was that Slug from Atmosphere at the end there? Sounded like a live set.

[Graff96]

@CelticPoison yeah, it sounds like him anyway

[swimstud567]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by sayin get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website. people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy and paste this

[ThexxxProphet]

@y2zgt look Wayne has some shit.. but he is not no where near the lyrical stature of Sage francis... Shit Blueprint would smash weezy no-doubt. But my question is why would you view a sage video and throw waynes name in?? doesnt make any sense.

RHYMESAYERS for ever.

Rest in Paradise Mikey "EYEDEA" Larsen

[y2zgt]

Weezy f. baby!

[low72]

@y2zgt keep that name of garbage out of real hip hop.

[xReneeBertx]

@ILLER121 word and pissed that everyone tries to compare every white underground artist to Eminem.

[mageist244]

@xReneeBertx

actually i would compare sage to eminem. did you know that they battled each other at some rap battle back in 97 and he wiped the floor with slim? Im not disrespecting either of them, i love them both to death, but i would totally compare them. Idk you are implying we shouldnt

[GrimJackalGrin]

(^_^) this song is awesome

[invinsableproduction]

it was his bred that raped this song

[claw9160]

when he came out the grave i was gona say "you can't kill an icon" but that bitch took that from me -.-

[DavinSalo]

Thumbs up if you thought the stick man costume was the sweetest thing to show up in a music video.

[ImStuckInStockton]

thumbs up if you're tired of everyone telling you to give them thumbs up

[bukk3t]

@ImStuckInStockton think of better things to bother you

[Schaffkid]

@ImStuckInStockton i think hes trying to tell you to give his comment a thumbs up

[kingtubenino]

@ImStuckInStockton theres irony in this statement.

[vr4runner]

@ImStuckInStockton wow!

[bandiit17]

@ImStuckInStockton isn't that like an oxymoron? thumbs up if you think so!! lol

[skptk1]

@bandiit17 nah i think its like a palindrome

[KSWKREW]

@ImStuckInStockton lol nice

[opydopy]

@ImStuckInStockton parrrrrradox

[jpoovolz]

[JonMcAlpin]

Has anyone ever noticed how sweet Sage's beard is?

[SlashPwnage]

@JonMcAlpin I touched it in a crowd of people by accident. It was greasy and kinda sweaty...dont touch sage francis' beard

[evanbreaton]

ha he rises from the dead only to die again



[mustrapefoley]

it seems to me theres a lot of cross over with the alternative crowd.

[SeriousDaOne]

How can you dislike this video? You must be deaf and or have a severe lack of a taste in brilliant music.

[MrSeanlamkins]

pick a card, any card

[akiopwns]

OMG the fist thing noticed beard!!

[KdHOne]

Thumbs up if you hate thumbs up farmers.

[thornton117]

@KdHOne paradox much?

[nastynas373]

sage francis is one of the greatest white/underground rappers, if you want to here more of him i suggest listening to the 25 minute "sage francis & apathy" freestyle, its some of the most raw material ever

[strangefamousjuggalo]

that girl in the end has to represent something, kind've like the icon man represents being an icon in the music industry

[therealsagefrancis]

Ain't nothing like starting off my video with a stupid fucking commercial.

[brotherneedcoke]

sage francis is so whack .

[strangefamousjuggalo]

@brotherneedcoke

How so? Really, honestly, to not see this man's poetic brilliance is pure shallowness

[strangefamousjuggalo]

@brotherneedcoke

How so? Honestly, if you can't see this man's poetic brilliance you have to be oblivious to what music is

[nastynas373]

@brotherneedcoke shut the fuck up

[paarsbloed]

11 cunts or Lil'wayne-lovers.

[nastynas373]

@paarsbloed no reason to mention wayne here and raise his popularity. its a sage francis song
