[8O8clap]

this beat chills to the bone

[Emvaz22]

Rap is a style of music, Hip Hop is a culture that gave birth to that form. What separates rap from hip-hop music is content. Hip-Hip is a remnant of the black power movement and has to do with reality, overcoming oneself and the situation around you, and embracing the light of knowledge and intellect. All hip hop is rap. What is passed off on the radio is rap without hip-hop, because its goal is to keep you in the darkness of materialism and ignorance (i.e. buy more bling, drugs and hoes).

[kricket428]

@Emvaz22 Perfect explanation of both Hip-Hop and Rap and how they coexist. Your insight is quotable, keep spreading the knowledge, man !

[RendezvouDoo]

@Emvaz22 well ,well said!!!!

[TheCuevas08]

@RRoyce270

yo you're right... haaha I just wikipedia'd that shit.. but this album is mostly deacon and kno isn't it??? the other dude is natti right?

[obilinx2]

@TheCuevas08 Cunninlynguists begun with Deacon & Kno. Their debut is with those 2. On their second album the 3rd guy is Mr SOS and afterwards it is Natti.

[TheCuevas08]

@ cymix2010 yea this is underground, but its two people... one's name is "Deacon" and the other is "KNO"... and damn the shit posted below me is one of the most retarded conversations I ever read... no offense to both you dudes, but don't argue about what the music is or isn't think about what it motivates you to do and act on it! THESE LYRICS ARE LIKE IGNORANCE... BLISS!

[RRoyce270]

@TheCuevas08

It is three people. I saw them last night, Was F-in Great

[magikman3]

@TheCuevas08 3 actually Kno, Deacon the Villan and Natti.

[cymix2010]

[3695566]

@wasouski03

i agree with you man

(:

[4ziATiC]

Hold the mic like a memory, niggas say I'm nice with metaphors but these are similes...

[JoshRom]

Who the fuck cares what it's called. Don't listen to Cunninlynguists just because it's called underground or hip hop. In fact, you'll hear violins, guitars, pianos, and cellos. Does this mean it's classical music? Listen to Cunninlynguists because their music is genius and they deserve to be praised.

[sm0kd0g]

@JoshRom hip hops was concieved and born purely out of respect and admiration, and pays hommage to EVERY genre of music... its is simplistic, complicated, beautiful and ugly all at the same time... good hip hop speaks to the soul, teaches life lessons, and gives people a positive outlet to express themselves and pass on the knowledge they have gained. to say you dont like hip hop entirely, is to say you have no love or respect for music as a whole. I motherfuckin love MUSIC!..

[stuporit]

cunninlynguist molocq:)i respect im za to 4to ini zdelali delajut i s delajut:)

prosto cool

[samborub]

Massive attack meets real u.s. underground hip-hop. why the f aren't these guys mad-famous?

[Silverhazed]

@samborub Cause they are not rapping about money and sex, kids don't care about other stuff these days. No reflection , no philosophy, it's all shallow. People are affraid of thinking.

[XxChapter13xX]

kory calico just dropped his album!

its called

the lyricists cookbook

[dizzle123456]

one of the best

[PureRockenEuzo]

kind of thing you can listen to over and over

[Aelderon1]

omg..orgy in my ears.

[mrbgnwo]

@Aelderon1 lol

word..

[Rap4EverrrR]

I shine in spaces where the time is just a glare... I hold the mic like a memory. CUNNINLYNGUISTS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[mrbgnwo]

@Rap4EverrrR

that's from common..

one of his old songs.. i forget which.. but it was the same song where he said "the only thing feeling me was mrs. henessee"- another thing they used here.

[mrbgnwo]

@Rap4EverrrR

the full line was

"I shine in spaces where the time is just a glare, I hold the mic like a memory

Niggaz say i'm nice with metaphors but that was just a simile."

[DarkFlame666]

actually it's "I sign his space's with time existent blare, I hold the mic like a memory"

[mrbgnwo]

yeah because that makes sense.. Here's a clue- lyrics websites are usually wrong.

Here's the whole line copied from common's ACTUAL cd(in the flap) from the original song:

Holdin liquor in despair, gang signs in the air

I shine in spaces where time is just a glare

Hold the mic like a memory

Niggas say I'm nice wit metaphors but these are similes

Deaf posers don't need to be listening to hip-hop

[DarkFlame666]

posers? lol wow yeah cause i guess cunninlynguists are so well known i guess any idiot can find them?

seriously poser? hahaha ok

it's people like you that make other people not want to even give underground MC's a chance...always some asshole thinking he knows it all and bringing down other ppl, so fucking what maybe i don't know common lyrics but i enjoy some real shit, i fucked up on lyrics and i admit it so what?

[mrbgnwo]

@DarkFlame666

"I sign his space's with time existent blare"

that's what you consider real shit lmao.. that's real retarded.

Nobody here was trying to bring other people down except when you incorrectly tried to correct me copy and pasting shit from a lyrics site. But since we all agree that you're wrong and a dumbass I guess we can let it go.

[DarkFlame666]

@mrbgnwo i said i was wrong not a dumbass. dumbass...thanks for proving me right on my last comment asshole.

"i sign his space's with a time existent blare" sounds like signing a contract....but we already agreed it's not that and your an ass so congrats on making yourself feel better, good job

[vvatchout]

[MindIsPower55]

[DaBigEgg]

@musicmadness08 yes my freind

[HiimFranzin]

People idk but this is what i think

but the trumpet just tops off the beat

everything in this song is sick

not like that fake gangsta rapper shit

this is real hip-hop..Fuck Mainstream!

[funkinfusion]

I co sign on that bro, real hip hop is alive and well it just lives underground. Super smooth instrumental and the lyrics kill!

[jartocha1]

the trumpet oftenly makes songs sound better. it has something to it that makes songs sound chill and smooth

[HiimFranzin]

The beat is hella smooth

[vocalesh]

(L)

[jeezzz413]

music realy helps u dream u just drift away to this music RESPECT!!

[SoleByThePound]

For everyone wondering the sample, it is fact Common feat Sadat X - 1999

[kinghenderson126]

@SoleByThePound also think there is some Deniece Williams - If You Don't Believe in they

[maximoyear2005]

@SoleByThePound sample is is very much the comm sense, anything you want me to shout at them, i get to see them live in eugene oregon saturday night, 4 free. jealous yet?

[OldSchoolHipHopLover]

@SoleByThePound

LMAO, Damn...I was just wondering that man! Weird coincidence. Thanks.

[RendezvouDoo]

@SoleByThePound is it just me or does common sound like Black Thought?

[MiChAlThEKliKKKeR]

Its Common, 1000000%

[ccspence8]

Is that Termanology being sampled saying "Mic Like a Memory"

[ccspence8]

Nevermind I'm pretty sure its Common now the more I hear it.

[2620bluntsmoker]

ye its common, no doubt

[possesedbyaclown]

no ppl didnt start hating. its just everyone can rap about girls, weed, bling, money, cars, etc. No one found the true meaning beneath hip hop. Go ahead write a rap right now. write one about ur life and then those topics i listed. You'll find the life one is harder to think about. People put more thought into their music. thats why so many mainstream artists have mixtapes. they rap about the stupidest shit

[steebbi]

can anyone tell me what hip hop really is ?, i want someone wise to answer

[Bob42jh]

Hip Hop is the music that clenses the Sooouullll

[lysergicburnie]

music with depth , meaning and a message

[anderekit]

hip hop is djing break dancing grafitti and mc the clothes and the way you talk

[MethodMc]

hip hop is for everyone something else... it's for everyone that what he want's it to be

[grrranger175]

hip hop is expressing yourself through rapping, djing, graffiti, or b-boying. so as long as your true to yourself, than youre making real hip hop.

[nicolaiharder]

im so tired of politic. Hip hop is hip hop and people who heard it alot starts hating for som reason.

[acohn1230]

sick. completely sick.

im so tired of this soulja boy garbage, this is real hip-hop

[bbarahona69]

this song is beautiful

[INCOSS69]

самая лучшая группа!!!

но почему я вижу лишь чёрный экран??????????

[ChrisShnayer]

is there anybody who got the beat of it?

[thalis19]

one of the few dope southern rap groups

[najelj]

Try trippin' balls and listening...."that shit's f**ked up!!!"

[possesedbyaclown]

how arent they underground? r u guys seriously retarted. i think you r. they wouldnt call their cd southernunderground and not be underground. there listed as underground

[CipherQ]

this is a great song to just chill to

[Leidenspfad]

"There was a time

when I couldn't find energy

the only person that was filling me

was Mrs. Hennesy."

The Lynguists got the blues.

[PoisonSlang]

man i love when they use jazz instruments in their songs. make it x5000 better...so soothing.

[NickV801]

Never heard of CunninLynguists?!?!

Could be the most consistent group i've EVER heard...BUY ALL THEIR ALBUMS IT IS WORTH IT!

Their new one comes out sometime this summer, already preordered mine !

[JoelJoel1991]

Damn right. The CunninLynguists are amazing. I love this Common sample from 1-9-9-9!

[wasouski03]

FUCK weezy THAT NIGGA NOTHING COMPARED WITH THIS!!

[Shadapaga]

lol

[Acrydocsmusic]

@wasouski03 just FUCK RAP, hip hop till they burry me

[socrstreets]

@Acrydocsmusic

I bet you're a moron who thinks that rap isn't hip hop music. lol fuck off kid you don't know shit about hip hop/rap

[Acrydocsmusic]

@socrstreets dude.. pls.. just shut your face, what the fuck are you talking about and insulting?

[socrstreets]

@Acrydocsmusic

"just FUCK RAP"

If you are seriously insulting rap then praising hip hop, then you don't understand what rap is.

[Acrydocsmusic]

@socrstreets for real dude i don't think you have brains..

hip hop is music from the heart ;), rap is music in exchange for money

btw, fuck off, don't reply on this

[socrstreets]

@Acrydocsmusic

Rap is hip hop you dumb piece of shit. You can't simply throw all the hip hop music you don't like under the term rap for no good reason. It's arbitrary, selfish, and demonstrates that you're a dumb piece of shit that knows nothing of the hip hop tradition. First of all music isn't defined by the moral grounds of the artist, it's defined by the fucking sound of the music. This song is a RAP song because it has hip hop influenced instrumentals and the people are RAPPING!

Dumbshit

[Acrydocsmusic]

@socrstreets eat my dick

[socrstreets]

@Acrydocsmusic

Of course someone like you'd say this, the dumbshit you are.

[Acrydocsmusic]

@socrstreets shut the fuck up, you don't know me, it's because of your fucking stupid comment i said that

[socrstreets]

@Acrydocsmusic

No you said that because you're a fucking idiot. Also I don't need to know you in order to realize that you're a dumbfuck.

[rasch9]

beautiful beat

[KaeRingBellz]

neva heard of them but this beat is sick

[tkxl777]

[packmann24]

I LOVE DEEZ DUDES MANE... BUT IM GLAD THEY STAYED UNDERGROUND AND NOT MAIN STREAM.... cause commercial rappers suck ass the money changes then.... they dont rap bout real shit... just talk bout all the money they got and poppin bottles... im a underground dude all i listen too is CunninLynguists, JEDI MIND TRICKS, IMMORTAL TECH..and old school rap like BIG L , GANGSTAR, D.I.T.C, CHILDREN OF THE CORN, AZ , THE FIRM, JAYZ, NAS

[KaeRingBellz]

If only Jay and Nas were underground......

[packmann24]

real-talk my dude

[Shadapaga]

they are the best of all time cant keep them underground

[KaeRingBellz]

My point was that they are not underground so they were bad examples that the dude previously used in a comment dummy

[Shadapaga]

well they never were underground so i dont get your point.

[KaeRingBellz]

It was sarcasm at first man .. Some dude named Jay and Nas as one of the underground artists they listed that is real hip hop and I said ''If only Jay and Nas were underground'' which meanin' they arent so bad examples used...smh

[15N1P3]

Im with you Moose37 and Teakkilla. on the t.v and radio we got fagoots who think they can sing. when the real singers are here..

[Espenvitus]

[AlimKateb]

It's from a song called Still by Talib Kweli, Sadat X and Common. The line goes like "I shine in spaces where time is just a glare, I hold the mic like a memory, niggas say I'm nice with metaphors but these are similies"

[Quplin]

the song name is 1999. Common feat Sadat X and Talib Kweli. the song is dope too
