  • We Need Pharoahe & Saigon 2Gether !!

  • The People GON' CLAP !!!

  • WOW ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL.

  • monch always comes with the ill concepts

  • We need more good music like this in the mainstream playing instead of the same old bubble gum rap on the radio and tv. The music of today isn't good music, but what the big wheels at these labels are pushing. It's corrupting our kids minds.

  • wowowowow....I like this shit real music and video..!1

  • Comment removed

  • how have i been sleeping on pharoah monch all these years, oh my god, im just gonna sit in front of my fridge and deliver 300 slaps to my face

  • epic llyod like this

  • wow

  • i find it terrifying that most people reaction to this is f@@k tha police when the video is clearly an officer suffering PTSD and offing himself at the end he pulls the trigger pointed away from himself but its still him lying in the snow!

  • @WarmasterTsavongLah Hate to say it but you're missing the point. It's not about some cop with PTSD, its about the reaction of black neighborhoods to the overwhelming violence brought by police officers now adays. How it went from "protect and serve" to "beat your ass and take you to jail." The ending is how this whole thing continues, you got another cop shooting the initial one for waving a gun around. Its how violence begets violence, not feel bad for some uncle tom cop

  • real hip hop , !!

  • Police, eat a dick, straight up.

  • this is one of the greatest songs i have ever heard.

  • INCEST CLAP M A JEREMY CLARKSON

  • GUYS WHAT DOES

     "trapped twiced like bananas with no chorus" means?? iv been dying to know

  • @Cloudninja909 Its actually "Track twice as bananas with no chorus" I think he means the song is better if you just listen to the words and not the sounds. Like the words are deep.

  • @thecheesburgler hm what would the bananas mean

  • @Cloudninja909 bananas is slang for "crazy", "cool", "fly". etc

  • Anyone else find it a little obnoxious that Simon Says got the most views of any pharoahe vid? I'm not hating, that's one of the greatest party songs ever. It's just that he consistently goes so much deeper and hits so much harder on most other tracks.

  • Where are the 23 derelicts who thumbed this down? LOL Complete BOZO'S

  • Dont know y i always thought dude was white...

  • its chris from the wire!

  • *tales from the hood

  • Pharoahe Monch dropped some serious knowledge in a book

    hes interviewed in, alongside all the other dopest MCs ever,

    its an inccccredible read, title of the book =

    HOW - TO -RAP

  • @jhnevans751

    Fuck you how to rap spam

    Pharoahe Monch big up !

  • for those who don't get the concept of the clapping

    in slang to get clapped or to clap means to shoot guns

    so monch is using the word clap in both ways: the applauding of police brutality and the police shooting the gun

    you should be able to piece it together now..

  • 3:10

  • Yea, they black people would murder the cop....

  • This is actually quite accurate, even if a cop has to shoot someone to save his life, it will haunt him until he dies, no cops ever forget someone they've shot.

  • Don't be hating on the police.

  • @xHouston22x most of them are corrupt and i would know.... fuck da pigzz and government.

  • "Pharoahe Monch is like an eloquent linguistics professor moonlighting as a rhyme serial killer terrorist, challenging the listeners' I.Q. while daring him or her to keep up - Kool Mo Dee.

    Kool pretty much hit the nail on the head. Real talk.

  • @Villajah and fellow rapper and collaborator O.C. notes that Monch will write single lines down and then use them five years later!

  • @duckdown - "a police raid gone dramatically wrong"? Is it a coincidence or did Pharoahe see Tammany Hall's Monumental release party fiasco by the 7th Precinct coming?

  • Comment removed

  • uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yea,,best video thank for you hip hop pharoahe,,,,peace & love,,,,,,,,,,

  • One of the best videos I've ever seen it can be interpret different ways of police brutality, he sees everyone clapping also meaning clap as gun shot how he killed the kid, also the remorse for shooting the kid, blood in his hand meaning the kids blood is on his hands, the sense of him going insane by seeing everyone clapping when he's around. Also could be a message of how the community has to stand together against police brutality. What comes around go around with him getting shot at the end.

  • @tennessee8210

    I personally dont really get it. The video makes it seem like it was an accident that he shoots the kid, then acts like him getting the same outcome is just. I think you are putting too much into it. It's just simply an intelligent story of live by the sword you die by the sword from Monch. I dont think its meant to have such a complex theme as you put it...

  • @tennessee8210

    Dude, its not just about police brutality i guess...

    Its a way to show all them murderes and basterds and real gangsters in high positions, what "we" think...

    We even applaud them... So they go crazy once, cuz nobody wants applaus for a bad thing... We like, "well done, u ruined it. Look what u have done... Well done."

  • wow reality! sorry Ye your vid sucks compared to this!! This is some real shit now getthefuckouttaherewiththatbul­lshit, Ye!! Pharaohe this is vid is going under my favourites!!

  • When we gon get it togetherrrrr! Fieeeeeyuh!

  • this is actually very well done

  • I'm not sure that I really understand the message (Karma & guilt, will bite you in the ass, maybe?) but, the music was excellent and it was superbly directed!

  • This video made no sense at all. I got the beginning, with the whole police raid and the kid dying but after that it just became absurd. People just randomly started to clap and shit? And than his hand starts bleeding and then it isn't bleeding anymore? The fuck? And what was op with him running away all the time and shit? And him getting shot at the end? The fuck?

  • @brame: ...he had blood on his hands; the death of the child! The clapping ppl were inevitably a hallucination, created by his own guilt and in the park, that was also a hallucination. The cop who shot him would've, inevitably, made his presence known, multiple times, by stating that he was a cop and when the guy didn't respond, after being yelled at, & bc he was hallucinating, the cop shot him.

    I'm not sure about the kid at the end. Tho, that could have been the ghost of the child that died.

  • @brameekhout I don't think you get it. Wasn't all literal--what we saw, that is

  • @brameekhout lol fuckin retard, it all made sense your just slow.

  • THIS IS DEDICATED 2 ALL THA FUCKED UP CROCKED COPS IN THA WORLD!!!!!

    

  • "IN THE OTHER WORDS THE POLICE... SAY IT, SAY IT LIKE PAC THE POE--LEASE" thats my favorite line, i dont know why

  • @steven2331 its pop the police.

  • @MRGENERATIONADD no it isnt man... pharoahe monch was referring to 2pac, if you heard pac say police. he says it like poe- lease.... pharoahe monch said that himself man.. ask anybody

  • wow did anyone else get chills down ther spine???

  • So basically the cop shoots the kid by accident then the cop get's killed? I get the message about FUCK THE POLICE but I need to watch this video a couple more times to fully understand it.,

  • Pharoe's lovely, I love him. I was thinking, wow, he's really got overly artistic on this one, maybe that the Po-lice were come for him because 'he's a sick MC' or something like that. But when the video finished, I learned something. Important lessons from a man from the city slums, again. God willing, more health to Pharoe.

  • Unbelievable. True talent and dedication right here.

  • "P's a fanatic for peace, but you angered a pacifist." Pharoahe is proving once again how much a of a maniacal magician he is with a mic. CLAP CLAP CLAP

  • Fucking beast....

  • Monch should be in everyoness top 3 list nobodys more consistent than him people forget hes been rappin since 1990...he murders everything hes on.

  • Awesome. I'm going to see Monch tonight in Tempe! JEAH!

  • This is amazing!!!

  • WOW...I CANT BELIEVE WHAT IVE JUST SEEN....HIP HOP. WE WILL CLAP ONE DAY...

  • REAL HIP HOP STAND UP........love it

  • unfortunatley this won't be at the video awards :|

  • im confused

  • Did you notice that the informant told the detective Apartment 1D (the detective wrote it in his pad too) but the police raided Apartment 1B?

  • @tbrown069 -I think that's the point.

  • this is real music REAL

  • I got goosebumps at the end

  • 9:21

    That break down is RIDICULOUS!

  • great video, great track, and Chris Partlow!

  • @ThatsThuckingAwesome

    You absolute racist cunt...i can't wait until YOU get popped (and it WILL happen) good luck on your journey hater.

  • RAUSE! (and a great video to boot)

  • SURREAL

    

  • 15 misguided individuals missed the point of the song and it's message,smdh??? This is music with a Message,Get Familiar or your just another sheep being lead to the slaughter???

  • @IllaNoyze781 amen brother, amen.

  • The Charts Should Be Full Of All The Real Original Hip Hop Artist's If I Seen This On Tv Or In The Charts I'd Be So Happy. I Wouldn't Even Class Him As A "Rapper" Since Most People Class Drake, Lil Wayne, Niki Minaj Etc. As Rappers It Would Just Be Disrespectful. I'd Class Him As A Lyrical Genius Or An Emcee. This Is Real Hip Hop Right This Isn't Cheesy Mainstream Pop That You Hear In The Charts. This Is Music !

  • @deanoneill1995 ive seen this on tv many times. usually MTV jams

  • @legofriends2 I live in Ireland bro and only the mainstream bitches make it onto the tv

  • @deanoneill1995 it is on tv

  • @TheJSkeezy i live in Ireland bro we don't get the American channels

  • @deanoneill1995 man i agreed with everything u said!

  • @deanoneill1995 Why are you capitalizing things like that, it hurts my eyes

  • @deanoneill1995 AMEN!

  • @deanoneill1995 but if he was in the charts, it would loose its origionality. and thousands of fake rappers would steal his style.

  • @deanoneill1995 whats with all of the capitals

  • @tehgamer14 To catch the attention of mainstream loving bitches

  • @deanoneill1995 ok, but it makes you sound like an idiot. The lack of punctuation doesn't help either.

  • This is a sick song, I also just realised that the cop that shoots the kid is Marlo Stanfields boy Chris from the wire

  • @goatslayer100 how did yu figure that out doesnt really look like him
