[Segeric]

Awesome song, the Flunk remix introduced it to me

[AndThreePlums]

Tricky, your concert in Warsaw (in Poland) was amazing! I don't listen that kind of music, but your energy, charisma... I'm impressed!

[ronnielevi2407]

[14000G]

Clip shot in France in Parisian suburb in the district "3000" in Aulnay-sous-Bois :). In 2:14 you can see "aulnay s.s bois" write on the wall (sorry I am French and my English is bad :/ ).

[sanisdeman]

Tricky Kid! Big up!

[TheProphetMo]

Disturbingly brilliant as alway - Tricky is the best boy!

[sfurner]

Portishead's 'Roads' is sampled in this song.

[titan142]

Just saw him perform this live last night in Portland, OR....AMAZING.

[jabmalassie]

Was trapped in Sarnia Ontario. Go figure

[mkkno1]

[UnoMatador]

[JayDeCapp]

WTF where have i been. i haven't listened to anything from him since blowback, then i saw the 5th element, and i decided to look him up again.

[diskmanone]

Bristol - Massive Attack! Big Up!

[r0inconnu]

ah you're the man!

[Dkbass0]

Did he mix Portishead's 'Roads' in this song? Listen closely at the start of the song.

[Cooludeful]

@Dkbass0 That's the first thing I noticed

[VooDooJoo]

everyone knozs this song - eh/

[gekkomatic]

Fine cover of Breadfan by Metallica...

[oakley187]

LOST IT!!!!!!

[oakley187]

WACK!!!!

[bizirain]

In my mothers belly and I'm starting to kick,

9 months in the womb and I'm making her sick,

Squeeze through the womb and I land in the room,

Don't know who we are, can't really tell,

We do the council flats and we do some jail (?)

[bizirain]

Don't like school, in a week we go once,

Don't like th' police 'cos they kick and they punch,

God bless all the stress and the stress comes at once,

But remember boy you're a superstar

Can't break it, can't take who you are

Can't break it, can't take who you are

Remember boy you're a superstar

[bizirain]

They call you council estate They call you 'can't go straight' They call you crime rate They call you 'can't go straight' And you're bending all the rules Where you bury your tools (?) Bending all the rules Where you bury your tools Your family can't visit cos the visits too far, You can't be who you be 'cos you're not who you are, Remember boy you're a superstar x3

[bizirain]

Can't break it, can't take who you are Can't break it, can't take who you are Remember boy you're a superstar Superstar (can't take it) You don't know who you are (can't take it) Superstar (cant take it) You don't know who you are (can't take it) You're a superstar So remember boy you're a superstar. Can't break it, can't take who you are Can't break it, can't take who you are So remember boy you're a superstar

[guvnordaz]

Tricky is an amazing artist and a proper geezer. I love him to bits! Check out his profile!!!

[frascovictim]

CooooooL

is iT UK slum??

[itsnighttime]

@frascovictim council estates are like the projects.

[Dooinslark]

big up thebendeson`s words

[ralphinio4]

alroight moi loverr!

[EVILSPARKLESOFDOOM]

This is on Hit Machine... a music game.

[lucifugal]

Tricky is awesome.

English trip hop owns the american hip hop scene.

[Freohr7]

@lucifugal

What American trip-hop scene?

No, really, I didn't know there was one.

[FullMetalPanicNL]

@Freohr7

He said the American Hip-Hop scene...not trip-hop scene.

[lucifugal]

@Freohr7

I did say hip hop. It just sounds empty, you might as well rap about everything you own and all the shit you bought that week. I have no problem with fun songs, but It's ok to sing about something with some depth or maybe be a little introspective once in a while. as an aside I am an american.

[SuperiFox]

@lucifugal Fuck yes it does...

[ben10Topgear]

Chuck

[splat729]

CHUCK!

[RMCKIE]

[julieth1216]

[INTENTIONPEACE2]

[Ukicazabonje]

[Tgotti613]

YOUNG UPCOMMING ARTIST CHECK OUT MY PAGE,-T-GoTTi

[xXiLLeGaLdRUgXx]

I was caught the first second I heard this. I love finding artists by complete accident.

[mrhello111]

BRISTOL dunknow dunknow !!!!

[eazyevcc]

Great track!

[DrLoveness]

go chuck season 4!!!!!!! from lisbon

[soundjunkeee]

sick tune! sound junkee

[testerpot]

gonna take you to the gay bar....Your a Super Star

[thebenanderson]

Trickys a BRISTOL legend man.

3D from massive attack is a great rapper too.

Their used to be a group called Earthing from Bristol who got pretty big for Trip Hop in Japan. Really good stuff.

The newest thing now for that type of Bristol sound is most likely the act AllFlaws.

love Tricky and that type of deep and dark stuff. shame the scene is so saturated in fake plastic crap.

[hoohahjimmy]

:L is it me or does the guy that body pops in the hallway look like a young guy ritchie?

[Singingbear]

@hoohahjimmy

It's you.

[wgjpinoy654]

terrific song

[hysteresiscure]

I can't be the only person who thinks that this rips off "Gay Bar" by Electric Six.

[lesanmart]

se parece al weon de los miserables xD

[Oscar301]

not much cop really, Tricky is well past his best

[katoness]

Tricky is Massive! Excuse the pun.

[DeLa150]

load of shit

[ganglu]

Tricky never fell off. He had one LP that was questionable, but wasn't total suck. Vulnerable and Knowle are fucking outstanding!

[IgorTheClown]

I agree. Are you referring to Blowback?

[ganglu]

@IgorTheClown

I was actually referring to Juxtapose.

[IgorTheClown]

Ah, I see. Sorry.

[heroldoftheday]

What do you mean? He was there, wasn't he? I saw his name on the posters and flyers...

[KL0E767]

Still feeling sad about the fact I missed Tricky on Sziget festival this year :(

[Eoinposse]

Go Tricky!

[sptfgpn]

More like, the kids from, "Fame".

[fenetremagique]

tricky fell off so badly it's not even funny

[baboon2525]

he did , but this is great. it's just not trying to be pre-mil tension part 2 anymore.

[StuffBurner]

okay, that's roads by portishead at the beginning.

[shibfilet]

he sampled it

[Vin3ri13]

awsome!!.keep on the good work!

[ajittffcure]

Superb song.

[r0ckh0pper]

Not heard this song before, I liked it so much I am going to listen to it again

[thebenanderson]

loveTricky so much

Saul Williams and AllFlaws are on a level par with him

[Merlinne56]

i have seen when they are filmed , it's in france

[SIHELL]

such a cool style, through the yrs.

[creten69]

its ignaant as shit

[flangepipemcgee]

he domino peeps....

any idea where this was filmed?

somewhere in bristol i guess...

superb vid

[100dollars1]

get in line baby. there is a lot of girls loving him for no rational reason actually

[Merlinne56]

Yo , I'm french this video clip was shot in my city Aulnay-sous-Bois !

The French Rap is the best ! ( Tricky says this in a interview )

[creds123]

But they are from the UK.

[shaun056]

It was filmed in knowle west in England. That was where he was raised up.

[Zajcik]

No, it was filmed in Paris

[janotosinnumeros]

Well, what happenned was, I was in first row so I can tell you, the guards came to us and said: "ONLY 24 PEOPLE CAN COME UP AND NO ONE ELSE, DID YOU HEAR ME?! NO ONE ELSE" And then the "24" people (it was a lot more obviously) went on stage. I never really knew if Tricky was the one who asked for it or not.

[janotosinnumeros]

I just came from the concert in Chile. And he brought some of us ON THE STAGE. I could touch him. It was unbelievable.

Acabo de llegar del concierto en Chile. Nos subió AL ESCENARIO. Lo toqué. Fue increíble.

[tacodiablo709]

does anyone else think he looks a lot like Mos Def

[blitzitup]

Scroobius pip and Allflaws

are the next best thing from the uk

[hanelli08]

Tricky has new sHIT.

[03MillgateJ]

i saw him live the other day...

bril performance

went right over me in his stage dive

[hondaccordexr]

wow spechless

[MrWilliam202]

great stuff !

[Ud0nTgNoMiE]

how does this song not have five stars?

[DaveODrisc]

Ello Tricks!

K.W.B.B.

[trippytakka1]

tricky is god

[lisher666]

Brilliant. Loving the Portishead - Roads sample at the beginning, didn't Tricky work with them at some point?

[Arilovich]

I bet there is places like this in every country... :)

[Ud0nTgNoMiE]

I love this man, everythinghe does is so bad ass!

[midnightminutes]

great song - awesome album

[de4kobig]

In Bulgaria there are places that look like that too.

[spence090]

i get the feeling kiokio21 was being sarcastic. . .

[sun17701]

haha :D

[de4kobig]

I'm sarcastic too :D

[kiokio21]

naa france

[kainot]

[kalli8321]

Tricky baligaga

[bistoukeight]

shot in "les 3000" estate in aulnay sous bois, paris's northeast suburb... this is one of the worst estate of paris.

the equivalent in london can be council estates like "ferrier estate" or "heygate estate" when people were still inside...i think

[deathsxdeeler]

wtf u chattin FRENCHY!!! it was shot in bristol... lmao, frace my fucking arse... my mate lived there and new some the people in the vid nd is mates wit the guy at 2 : 11 whos also singing.. he grew up on that estate as did tricky, n he well proud of it coz tricky came from there.. called ST. Pauls dick face not some shitty french name.. gr8 sng do.

[bistoukeight]

you're funnny man, at 2: 11 its the french rapper sefyu who lives in this estate... you gotta check some internet site ....it's made in france 10000000%. the look of the youngs is typycally a french suburb look... it's "les 3000" estate man....

[ilostmywife]

god his voice is amazing.

when he talks, it's so smooth and just amazing, when he whispers it's almost haunting, when he actually sings kind of, like in this song, it's so catchy and has a great melody to it :P aha even when he GROWLS it sounds amazing! haha

[franana22]

i saw it in live yesterdayyyy !

[cydcore]

Is it just me or does the cover of gnarles barkley "Gone Daddy Gone" of the violent femmes sound similar to the chorus of this song?

[ShizzleCrizzle]

yea it kinda does

[Adikaa6]

zxz

[Ben22009]

Tricky is legend!!!

[gavinsmith914]

so powerful and raw

[swimsuitparker]

right at the beggining thee echoey chords isn't tht portishead

[robuzy]

oh shit ur right thats how roads starts

[MrFenomenon]

and do you know the band Electric Six. they have a song "Gay bar" or something... the part when he sings: you're a superstar.

[mcwoof1]

is there a sample of something by faithless or some one in this tune? its at about 2:17 and its earlier in the track too, sounds really familiar

[DEAN53]

I'm from Hartcliffe, which make Knowle West look like a fuckin holiday resort. Me babs.

[se3en]

@DEAN53

indeed

[jakjones778]

i am from

knowle west:)

[zipppit89]

reminds me of saul williams

[18stallion18]

this songs a fuckin joke

[xtremeriepit]

was made in aulnay sous bois in a project near paris !!!

[SIHELL]

Doesn't beat Maxinquaye. But, good enough.

[Tarantulus666]

always nice to see a Bristol lad done good!

As much as Knowle West IS a s***hole ghetto, this was filmed in the Banlieues of paris.

[SeptemberGroup]

Amazing..hoods are hoods all over the world...from Knowle West UK, to Cabrini Green Chicago, to Lucien P. Stough Alabama....priceless look into Tricky's life

[sinther1]

Took me way too long to realize "council estate" = "the projects. " ;p

Are they bad? I still get nervous driving by Cabrini Green here.

[Iwatchtrek]

I'm from America... and I had no idea how run down Council Estates really are!

[DJJC619]

mate have a look in the UK im not joking but ive been in all sorts of estates depending what area theyre in they can be really different, seen some quite clean and just a bit below standard and ive seen 1 or 2 with needles on the floor n dirt,shit n blood on the walls...

[Iwatchtrek]

Damn.

[vokuro88]

hmm, sounds too fast for a triphop. hope he goes back to his roots in one of his albums.

[soundtester]

Great song, awful clip.

Rather family video than smthn rebelious.

[Scarlettfever1991]

Tricky....hideously under-rated.

[michcota]

frame 33: american apparel ad.

sweet sweater

[akastuntfish]

well done you spotted a sample ???? wtf listen to the song dicksplash!

[trickyneloza]

tricky rullzzzzz

[voodoochild85858]

trip hop is only good for one thing and thats films

[Sophieandhearts]

In the beginning is it sampling Portishead?

[djad54]

yeah - a track called 'roads' off the dummy album

[JohnMYX]

Are my ears deceiving me or is that a Portishead sample in the beginning (0:03-0:06)?

[NottinghamHotspur]

yeah it samples 'Roads'

[HiGuysImChris]

love that song

[dmstn]

Cool song!

[erry29]

real estate!!!

[sptfgpn]

The boys and girls in this look like they come from a modelling agency, not a council estate.

[fionamad]

lol! very true

[stephenisgod]

What so people from council estates can't be pretty? fuck off

[sptfgpn]

I didn't say they were pretty.

[akastuntfish]

im from a council estate in Glasgow, now in Inverness and if i say so maself...im a beauty so whoever posted that kin get bent "!

[stephenisgod]

I'm from a council estate too and it annoys me when people say things like that! People from Council Estates are BEAUTIFUL ... and some aren't ... but thats just the way it goes!

[akastuntfish]

exactley m8 im an ugly bastard in some ways but im a looker as my girlfriend says
