[maskone909]

what the fuck does a hip hop show got to do with education? i will make you my hoe college boy.

[tonyhatch1]

who the fuck still says " mark ass bitches"? (except mark as bitches!) LMMFAO!!!!!!

[maskone909]

well you said it twice so i guess you do, bitch! fuck you and your dead homies

[Vietpr3]

what do you know about hip hop? Go listen to your Led Zeppelin shit. Like that has anything to do with education.

[maskone909]

go eat a dog you fuckin zipper head. B-BOYS ARE FAGGOTS WITH NO JOBS! dont even step hommie cuz i aint tryin to have a dance off. BEEEYYYOTCH

[Vietpr3]

Real nice race inspector. Yea aint got none, so shut yo punk ass up, talkin shit about bboying, let me see if u can do our shit. Saying "beeyoootch" like a fucking fagget.

[maskone909]

"our shit"? you mean karate right?? hahahahahaha just do me a favor Mr egg foo young, NEVER DRIVE A FUCKING CAR AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE!!!! now go check your bbq i think scoobie-doo is almost well done!

[Vietpr3]

Im not worrying so much about driving, cus yo dumb as be working for me and drive me around. And yes i know karate, so WHAT THE FUCK CAN YOU DO? I can show your mama some real moves in bed. Talking about our food when you sucking on our eggrolls. Real nice douchebag.

[BassBeatsProductions]

WOW Brah B-boys are faggots? you must not know shit about hip hop.

[maskone909]

im going to put it to you like this, hommie; The more you know about hip hop the less you like it. ive been around for a while and it keeps getting more and more distorted and exploited.

as far as b-boying goes; much respect to the original OG b-boys.they were innovators. but they are now old, dead, and gone. probably with back problems and arthritis and shit.. annyone claiming b-boy status now is just a copy of what they see on american dance crew. fuck all of that jazz, "BRAH"

[BassBeatsProductions]

What about countries out of the US that have adopted the original B-boy movement? have you ever been there at least seen it on tv? I have, and it is nothing different from what it used to be.

Whether its the 80s or the new millennium, the B-Boy element of hip hop is still alive. Its the continuation of the dance moves created in the era but it has been enhanced by the youngsters in this eras.

[xMPCxx]

Why are you here bitching then...just leave.

[maskone909]

oh shit here comes everyone from the rice bowl.... i feel a dance off comming LOLOLOL NAS is right. hip hop is dead and you "underground" b-boy faggots murdered it! some one call the cops becuase you two zipper heads just stole someones culture

[xMPCxx]

All I have to say is, "i feel a dance off COMMING." LOL Learn how to spell internet gangsta. On top of that you come with references from Nas but yet you hate Hip Hip shows...such a hypocrite. Bye now...lol

[maskone909]

i reference nas and i hate hip hop shows. you are starting to get it too wong foo! there might be hope for you after all!! you are out of your league here pal. do us all a favor and stop what you are doing. perpetraiting ass mothafucka. need to be taking notes

[xMPCxx]

...hhhhhh the stupidity of youth these days.

[JordanF88]

[tomatotrix]

[tomatotrix]

holy shiiiiiiiit beauty to my ears for reals what song has this beat?

[badgerpony]

"Love," by Mos Def from Black on Both Sides

[Nap712]

GET EM 88!

[maeldomingues]

what sample ?

[hevy77]

Bill Evans - Porgy (I Loves You, Porgy)

[boohbahcracker]

haha i like that dude sayin you can't use that! but he can since he made that beat to begin with. but for real yo, fat. hope he stays real

[zpqm]

god damn

[DicNelson]

The Song is Love by Mos Def.

[bamhammer]

Yup.. from the Black on Both Sides album. His best solo in my opinion.

[THATxKidAdam]

what beat is this

[hevy77]

is this just a beat he made or is a song?

[millisitch]

the beginning was so smooth..

[NOmind570]

yea that beginning into the beat was dope

[CypheredSoul]

when i recognized what it was i felt nice and warm.

LOVE

[sbdnks22]

i love the stay up song

[Logrithmic]

yeah that joint is classic

[YuhBoiAD]

haha made me smile soon as the beat dropped

[ayoforreal]

thats the mos def joint

[rohleks]

thats whats missin from hip hop ppl mak tracks like this

[rohleks]

i read an interview this guy is interesting he works in a record shop where a lot of famous producers go for them rare samples

[LionelVA36]

dude can make some fire beats.

[adamndirtyshame]

88 is a white supremacist code number. H is the eighth letter, so two 8's equals HH, or Heil Hitler. i think 88 keys is a secret nazi, and now from this video i can tell he probably got to mos def too. why else would he have stopped making socially conscious rap in favor of playing the best black friend role to bruce willis/jack black/etc.

[angeloCOZ]

lol moron, mos def stopped rapping and continued acting because he didnt like the way hip hop was heading

[adamndirtyshame]

isnt that a reason to continue rapping? if you just quit, then the wack mcs win. and i guess he liked the way the movie industry was heading, placing him in role after role as the token black friend?

[angeloCOZ]

not really, but take a look at his era, its when everyone was getting commercial and not rhyming about things that matter but about stupid things like bling, and cars and how rich they are. but anyways, mos def is comin out with a new album at the end of the month called "the ecstatic" which is being produced by kanye and the neptunes, so it should be up there with his man talib

[skyweezynU]

tha fuk u talkin bout

[eltrueno1000]

mierda....es buenisimo este negro!!!

[woogleslap]

man, why did they stop doing beat society? i would have gone to one of those shows

[IdzieZima]

As well as I trupadupa, I watch this movie all the time, can't stop...

[throwbacc89]

whoa. what a mean sample. Oscar Peterson jazz sample.

[IdzieZima]

yep...

[rafkus111]

yo, could you tell me from what song (oscar) is this sample, thx, big up

[drog13]

it's not oscar peterson sample. it's a sample from a song porgy played by the bill evans trio on the album waltz for debby from 1961. (you can hear the sample a few seconds after the first minute goes by)

[trupadupa]

watchin this one 20times/day

[kidowl]

just cop the Mos Def track this samples....

[beastnstuff]

nah, personally, i don't think the song does this beat justice. especially not how he presented it in this video. it sounds too commercial when mos def redid it

[TheTsuihousha]

wow...you opinion is garbage. You don't know good music.

[beastnstuff]

whatever, I know when a sample is used properly, and when it isn't. Love, was not used properly.

[TheTsuihousha]

>>>everyone boo this man...loooooool

[beastnstuff]

go for it, I keep my stance

[TheTsuihousha]

just f'n wit you man...lol take it ez i respect ur opinion.

[Deito25]

WTF yo u must be retarded

[YuhBoiAD]

LMAO who are you to say that a sample is used properly?? the great almighty sample king LMAO NIGGA PLEASE!!

[beastnstuff]

the rawness of the way it sounds in this video is what i meant. but in the song is was more mild. that's all. he should've kept the raw sound

[YuhBoiAD]

yeah i dont like the filter on it but its still hot dude

[beastnstuff]

oh there's no doubt that it's hot. i love 88's stuff, the guy is a genius, but who doesn't love a little grime.

[justbunk]

I AGREE TOO!

[lvngdead]

Can anyone else confirm that he's working on a MPC 3000?

[Fabio718]

yup, he had an MPC 3000

[skyweezynU]

yessir

[Deito25]

yeaz

[daimS1]

[smackdee]

[certifiedpro2914]

[Logrithmic]

yeah...look in the liner notes on Mos' solo album.

[KingManifesto]

The sample for "Love" isn't in the liner notes, do you happen know the sample?

[KingManifesto]

Nevermind, I found the sample now, and it's not Ahmad Jamal.

[shiftyshif]

Who is it?

[julaybeeb]

I'm not positive, but I'd wager it's an Ahmad Jamal song by the style of piano playing.

[certifiedpro2914]

yea i actually found the vinyl he sampled from to flip it up.. thanks for directing me though.
