[ispitthetruth]

why does everybody act like dudley has no skills

FUCK YOU

[skinsman1]

damn everyone stop worrying about the sign he made and enjoy this beautiful music

[arquitectodestructor]

beatifull this make me cry brother

[ChiBoogie2]

he throws up an illuminati sign at 0:53-0:53....

[silly15]

fonk sign..get it right....

declaime

[Peteretproductions]

Its prob just him saying rock on. Most under ground cats don't get involved in the illuminati and shit like that.

[Arachnomen]

People call it "Devils Horn" and its a rocknroll sign first thought up by Dio's leadsingers grandma.

[jeepndesert]

@ChiBoogie2 he did throw up the life rune (peace sign of arms pointed up towards the sun) before he flashed the death sign (baphomet horns, upside down 5-pointed star or man). pointing the horns would be a curse, which is bad to do.

[pfive]

@ChiBoogie2

That must be why he is a hugely successful rich famous guy

[regal777]

WUT A DISCOVERY

[israpdoom]

[marlon661]

[keedawee]

Oh how do I love thee Dudley Perkins and collabo,Georgia Anne Muldrow that is definately my type of Hip -hop I guess I'm gonna have to be the one who introduces this track to the south MY PLEASURE!!!!!!

[MFdoomJR]

wow such an amazing track. when i was blastin this shit everyone in the car was like turn that shit off. people just dont understand real hiphop and appricate it.

[WitchDoctor16]

I know what you mean man i get the funny stares for listenin to Dudley, but I brush that off and keep listenin.

[MFdoomJR]

yea dudley so sick.

[silly15]

luv it...and luv yall 2...

it was a love u sign.

[gtoutofthawrld]

WOW, did he just flash the baphomet hand gesture at :53 seconds, I thought this guy was actuallly true to The most High, maybe he is but i dont know,that hand signal got me thinking

[onstr]

You're absolutely right, because a simple hand gestire with multiple meanings certainly signals the worst meaning. I'm sure that everybody who has ever used that as a simple "rock on" gesture truly meant "hail satan". Good eye, buddy. And remember, when you assume, you make an ass of u and me.

[gtoutofthawrld]

Its all about the origins though bro, everytrhing has a origin, if you research the origin of how that hand signal even got introduced into rock, you will see that it has always been a witchcraft symbol meant to signify allegiance to satan and put a hex on an individual

The question that I pose is does dudley perkins know the origins of that symbol or is he just doing it to mean "rock on', you dont know and niether do i

[moodfm1]

One of my favorite tracks. Declaime is the sssh...

[mrskatrina]

so relaxing, so beautiful, i love it.

[sil80drifts]

wow first time listening to this .... its pure greatness

[LoopSkywalkerHN]

Mind Altering Demented Lessons In Beatz 4 Ya Mind One Time!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

So soulful. I love Dudley Perkins

[rojlord]

At what point in time was perfect diction a part of hip hop? Hip hop has always played on irony and humour - mis-spelt titles and so on.

In fact can you explain to everyone why you are jumpa01 instead of jumper01? I suppose paying attention in school ought to extend to the written word. If you did you would know the language of hip hop.

Regards

this is hip hop warts and all and if it offends you so much - i hear julie andrews has perfect diction.

[truedevinewind]

Right arm brobro right arm

[emailman712]

dudley speaks the truth on this shit

[Hotphillypro]

Dudley is the shit !

I love his whole sing of key on purpose gimmick 'cause he puts his heart into it and it's beautiful.

[phoneke]

I don't think its off key at all. Its perfect blue-note,talkin blues,field-hollaring.I think the problem is that we haven't done it for so long in the mainstream music that we've lost an ear for it. Its an old way of singing that dates back to the old south and Africa. I'll be glad when more people start singing from the soul again and not worry about a (Pop) sound and tricks with their voices. Why don't u look at my favorites and listen to some of the old blues that I have.

[Hotphillypro]

yeah, man.

Soul is everything. I just read PBW say that he sings off key on purpose. I hear Dudley is a pretty far out guy in real life. He's read documents about aliens allegedly while serving in Iraq. Whatever though, I dig him.

[jumpa01]

Cyc1on3. Are you Retarded? Putting dood's shit out on the street like that. Why dont you just call the cops on yourself and this guy. That way you can save the cops the 20 minutes it will take them to trace your IP and arrest you "Shit for Brains" ass. Way to go CyCoon3 people like you and your big mouth keep our Jails nice and full ! keep up the good work Holmes!!!

[Cyc1on3]

I have smoked and sold weed to this guy...

He is so chill

[SkinnyMahfrugga]

Nicklenugget: Yeah. Declaime and Dudley is the same guy. I think he might be using Declaime when he's rapping...

[jumpa01]

calyx06 you hit the nail on the head with your "Real Shit" comment. I couldn't have said it better my self Unless I said "Pure Shit". Either way we both are right This sucks and cant even be considered music

[TweaksInYaBrain]

U've got to be kidding...

[XXXMI]

You are like Van Gogh without any ears.

[jumpa01]

Pure rubbish, my toilet makes better sounds when I'm flushing a crap down it. Teeeeeewrl is stressing him ? I say he ends it as in suicide perhaps. I say it's DESTINNNEEEY falling apart at the seeems

[jumpa01]

"Aint no body making" ???? ...,WHAT what kind of English is that ? ""Aint nobody??"" This kid didn't pay attention in school now did he? I say try " Hooked on phonics" He should be asking god to help him be more "literate"

[thedominio]

nice!!

[athemkill]

This is Feeling!!!!!

[JusBeCuzz]

Madlib is a beat master

[Clayvion]

I feel this shit!

[calyx06]

real shit

[nicklenugget]

great song...but i got a question like quas: am i confused now?

dudley = declaime?

[lis880]

yes they are one and the same

[DrunkMonk1]

anyone got just the instrumental?

cool track.

[alabamaman1970]

you give true emotions singing

[tszatoum]

it could be french rap for the ideas

[killahkillah29]

a legend

[parisgraphicsvideo]

Big Up to Dudley and Stones Throw for keeping it real. Dudley dropping serious lyrics over what sounds like Todd Rundgren's "Sometimes I don't know what to Feel" made me love this track even before I saw the video. The video just elevates it to another level.

[afotey]

Dudley Perkins, AKA Declaime...

Awesome~!

PS: That had to be the most diesel crackhead I've ever seen @ 2:42...LOL
