[yonkarra17]

temaso enorahuena em me a encantao un saludo de cordoba ( españa)

[Incauto73]

One of his bests!

[NakedJKid]

this was good until the black dude that looks like a burns victim started trying to sing and posing with his top off... WTF

[negullah]

@NakedJKid that's tricky. lol.

[JanCajthaml]

really wtf?

[VoZavidovych]

the uk makes the best music

[inyourdivineembrace]

i dont get it. That old fellow tells us a story how hard his life was, and what a nice education and opportunities todays people have. And there;s those ghetto guys who seem to be proud being shit dead in crime and poverty- despite the education, jobs and opportunities they have. Thats what i get...anyone who understands it?

[LEDCircus]

@inyourdivineembrace I agree with everything you saying man, but you gotta listen to the lyrics. That's where the real story is at.

[kathberry8]

@inyourdivineembrace maybe he's saying that his people can go to Cambridge now because of his past activities, but the'ghetto guy's' (your term) still have a LONG way to go before they will ever have a virtual entire generation enrolled at such an auspicious college, more likely never, because of the obvious- they can change a man's diction .carriage, and behavior, but, unlike the chamelon, you can't change his color, thus, an ardurous, un-ending, journey.

[Drolkin]

@inyourdivineembrace Those who grew up in those circumstances understand, nothing wrong with being proud of your home, family, friends, and neighborhood despite what the upper class might think.

[frysmaktoff]

The first thing I saw at 4:47 was a skull in the old man's hair. Now I can't see anything else.

[AEMLond0n]

ERM... WHERE IS HE GOING WITH THAT 1 DOODOO DREADLOCK COMING OUT OF NOWHERE...? ... TO THE SHOPS MAYBE .. I KNOW WHERE HE NEEDS TO GO .. BARBERS.

[trickykid73]

This was the best track from the Mixed Races album !......... i love it !

[HeiligerBimBam9]

1:35 .. musik ;)

[Albanezkaa]

this video is so intense. it made me feel like there was a secret told to me.

[SlickGuitar1993]

@Albanezkaa Nah man... that was just him whispering all the time XD

[UniqueWeekend]

Blinded mind people

[Chitos69]

Is this the guy from The Fifth Element?

[stoogemaster7000]

@Chitos69 i will find you and slap you

[salsastuff]

@Chitos69 Yes! himself. So funny to see his role in that movie ;-)

[ExistUNDRGROUND]

@Chitos69 Yup. He was an actor in it, and he helped do the soundtrack.

[kagolko]

@Chitos69 - I don't now but that black guy in the song is pretty fucking ugly LOL hope he is just "trying" to look like that.

[nalisten]

FLy Video!!! I like the Visuals!!!

[jillduly]

I believe the woman singing os called Francesca but I dont know her surname.

[jillduly]

I believe the woman singing os called Francesca but I dont know her surname.

[davidborboa]

GOOD VIDEO ! Who is the girl singing ?

[apsyntia]

OMFG!

[JRayMalcolm]

2:23 SHY RONNY!!!:

[moooooooses]

bummmmmmmmmmmmm...

[rastahat108]

God, I really need lyrics!

[ibrahimmeso]

i know its irrelevant, but he looks like hes on crack. im jus sayin.

[erikmabry]

@ibrahimmeso perhaps the years of his crack use show on his face.  my roommate didn't know what tricky looked like and said the same thing. to me, it's a reminder of growth.

[itchcitizen2]

@ibrahimmeso he's not changed much so I doubt it, met him over 20 years ago and he's aged a bit but don't we all ?

[cozzybob]

Wow. This is deep.

[DubstepPr1]

you cunt

[RiverPlateCavenaghi9]

el TINTO elemento?!?!

[steveflem]

that's the dude from fifth element

[alexuhlemann]

Anybody know where the strings sample is from?

[erikmabry]

@alexuhlemann I could be wrong, but I think I remember hearing he had an original arrangement from hired musicians for the strings.

[MrCumdroppings101]

ugly chick..but cool song

[kleyou]

bit crashes brain

[dreazylexis]

@DrCandle totally agree.

I think that rap is the only genre that could actually paint a very descriptive image in my mind. But that's just my opinion.

[condiersea]

i understood every other word the old guy said..

[siamese4life]

This rapper guy played in the movie with Chris Tucker,the model Mila whaterever her last name is and Bruce Willis.The space movie?... A pretty good actor.He played an alien that was later killed.

[BeBoopBopBeep]

@siamese4life

The Fifth Element!

[erikmabry]

@siamese4life i don't think he was an alien... and he had only a handful of lines. he expressed his hate for acting after that movie. lol but yeah, blown to pieces.

[JoeCubicle]

Hearing anything Rap, R&B or HipHop always sounds like listening to a crime in action. Hard to listen too, never can get to the message.

[DrCandle]

@JoeCubicle You're listenin to the wrong rap then bro.

[erikmabry]

@JoeCubicle what part of this was rap?

[JoeCubicle]

@erikmabry From 1:35 to 4:55. Call it what you like, I call it rap. My opinion, don't want to discuss music labeling, don't want to split hairs, merely my opinion. Sorry if I'm wrong in your eyes.

[LEDCircus]

@JoeCubicle I would say it's borderline Dub, Trip Hop as well. Tricky's other stuff is deffo more Trip Hop.

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

@JoeCubicle R&B is nothing like the other 2...what are you trying to say?

[DrCandle]

Took me a minute to figure out that was his hair on the side of his face. What is up with this dude's flow? It's whack.

[XtuluTheInkaKing]

ca. 2:52 the mic isnt plugged, thats why he sounds so quiet (and no it isnt a wireless one, you see the XLR-plug)

[erikmabry]

@XtuluTheInkaKing good eye! didn't catch that the first time around.

[DurexDurpaneu2]

Yyyeeeeeeehhhheeeaaaaa!!! Tricky!!!!

[6wings]

IT's good to see Tricky again.

[choocken]

That girls singing is really annoying

[Jerimire]

Jamaica Jamaica!...Big Up!

[MrsJulia7]

ugly

[leroibonois]

@MrsJulia7 no one is perfect !

[Mr19after6]

The beat is pretty ill. Anyone know the girl singing? Shes pretty cute...

[DatsPP]

@Mr19after6 Frankey Riley shes Napoli/Irish? So hot!!!

[athathoth01]

I'm happy to see Tricky is still doing music. I love how creative he is. There is no real way to categorize what he does because he uses all styles. This is great.

[mkunaal]

dope

[psychoklown66]

Tricky has heart.... this isn't pop hip-hop that you listen to on the radio.

[aylera]

Tricky isn't about lyrics, Tricky is about flow and feel. Don't expect to hear rap if you listen, expect trip-hop. Create a "tricky station" on Pandora for more alike vibes!!

[Scoobasteveo8]

This is terrible, really elementary vocabulary, and the flow is weak...I kno I could do better

[Profy00]

@Scoobasteveo8 this isn't fucking hip hop it's trip hop and Tricky has got some freat tunes

[CrazyGrin]

@Scoobasteveo8

If you could do better...you wouldn't be saying that here on youtube, you'd be in the video singing about something like your kindergarten teacher hitting you upside the head with a ruler for being stupid!

[mmof9]

hahah

his microphone wired to anything

[YellowSSS]

I see Tricky. 

[cherryblossominmist]

i don't get it.. but nice song !

[mushroomcloud420]

4:42 wtf

[oopsLOOPS]

prison stints dont serve as glints from some badge of honor worn on the chests of those who embrace and perpetuate the fucked up idea that its cooler to work at becoming a broken piece of society than to work on something truly more terrifying and standing up and rising above who creates the cool in the school.

[DavidEdwardSchnell]

@oopsLOOPS

freedom prolonged do'nt serve as dimming vague gang insignia of indignity hung from the necks of those who eschew and discontinue the sublime ignorance that i'ts warmer to employ at escaping operational elements of a community than to sit down and lower oneself to below who destroys the hot in the school.

[oopsLOOPS]

@DavidEdwardSchnell you're making no sense.

[try2stalkme]

Noice.

[andrewilliams74]

Dope!
