CunninLynguists - Stars Shine Brightest (In The Darkest Of Night)

[Marz916]

"You can only see the stars when it's Don Cheadle Black" He went there.

[Marz916]

2011 has been a great year in Hip Hop, Cunninlynguists, Elzhi, Reks, The Roots, Common, STS, Kendrick Lamar, Torae, Danny Brown, Big K.R.I.T. all released amazing stuff this year.

[Butnix]

whats a 'coursin'? i can't find this word anywhere. so i guess it's probably wrong

[Ether702]

fat bitches need love too, craig.

[maryjane4205150]

like if your going to see cunninlynguists at paid dues 2012!

[ClementeAnthony3]

Kno's production is God like, especially lately on "Death Is Silent" & "Oneirology", I liked every track on both albums, its very rare I can find albums that I wanna play start to finish but Kno dropped 2 of them back to back......... And his new one with Marq Spekt, "Machete Vision" was pretty damn good too, not as complex or unique, but still a really good Hardore album, if you aint heard that yet peep it

[prospectboy]

@ClementeAnthony3 I definitely agree with you regarding both "Death Is Silent" and "Oneirology". I've liked Kno ever since I got up on Cunninlynguists music, but his work on those two albums cemented him as one of my top 5 favorites. I'm going to have to look into the album you mentioned. I'm down to listen to anything that Kno is a part of.

[dadoz2k]

Best song on the album, an instant classic!

[Lycerate]

@dadoz2k Embers was mindblowing too :D

[latinomint]

They need to be more recognized. Honestly. This album was probably the most amazing hip hop album I have ever heard. It also amazes me about how many people don't know who they are...

[sofr123]

most amasing beat ever.

[imoverit247]

Despite popular belief, real hip-hop didn't die. But it was buried alive, underground.

[Heyhey2545]

@imoverit247 Hip-Hop has always been underground! You'll find the best and most creative artists there, no selling out no pleasing labels no Bullshit just real Hip-Hop! One

[kooobbbeeeee]

people should never say hiphop is dead as long as music like this is being produced.

[lucky7adnan]

I LOVE the production on this album, God damn.

[bnjmn07]

You "Mayweather" the storm if you don't stop punchin. soooo dope.

[EpicGentleman]

I can listen from this whole album from beginning to end and it'll still sound fresh.

[kurzyx]

i don't like hip hop at all but cunninlynguists are great !

[RaineR3313]

can't believe its almost 2012 and its still potential music out there

[magikman3]

Don't get me wrong I love CL and this song but I felt that it was somewhat overproduced and the lyrics were really corny.

[SwiitchStyles]

The ending of this song is SO tight.

[WutDfuzz]

This isn't my style of music at all but for some reason I really like this

[giantman817]

Til ya heartbeat sound like a battle drum thumpin'

Those talking 'bout failure ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'

Real shit

[benandreas369]

The very beginning.. and Natti's very first words... goosebumps people!!!

[sentient001]

Stars shine, Stars shine..

[Nhilzer]

Fuckin great beat ! And two great mcs ! Hope the band will last long.

[verblvik]

@Nhilzer 3 great MCs

[Nhilzer]

@verblvik The mcs you can hear on the track are Natti and Deacon bro, no featuring and Kno just makes their beats :).

[verblvik]

@Nhilzer He doesn't just make the beats he raps on around 80% of the tracks dude.

[rsavemark]

This one and Young the Giant - Apartment are the songs that makes me even wanna wake up in the morning. The walk from home to school. Priceless.

[jinnwarior]

@RDoubleRooneyRonaldo

eminem's end came 6 years ago.

[RDoubleRooneyRonaldo]

@jinnwarior Lol yeah probably but there's people who still thinks he can sing.

[vvestsidaz]

I hope these guys make some bank from their effort, they're legit

[TheMastertbc]

Seen as a general basis, the additive effect of the quality control process optimization, a critique of the negative after-effects and realistically communicated in all known cases, one explicitly overkill in analogy to the liberalization of the use.

[THEdustymonkey100]

God I wanna see cunninlynguists live so badly. Kno is easily one of my favorite producers I hope these guys never stop making music

[TheUmbraLucis]

@THEdustymonkey100 Get psyched, cause I've seen them live twice already.. They be monsters on a ripping the mic frenzy.

[LemonistDubs]

@THEdustymonkey100 keep buying their music! xD

[whitechocolateballin]

somewhere in heaven tupac is smiling that real music is still being made

[SchuylerMunro]

@whitechocolateballin fuckin corny



[whitechocolateballin]

@SchuylerMunro unlike most people im not gonna argue with you whats the best you can do CAPS lock my ass?

[SchuylerMunro]

@SchuylerMunro i dont know what the fuck you're talking about or what I said...but if i cap locked you, its cause you said some dumb shit...

[armand333ify]

its sow cool

[Cationification]

@RDoubleRooneyRonaldo Eminem and Cunninglynguists are completely different mate

[RDoubleRooneyRonaldo]

@Cationification Yeah, one is mainstream and the other is maingic (magic) lol.

[celtics3456789]

Can we all agree that this is BY FAR the best Hip-Hop album of 2011? Really, it's no contest.

[efafootball25]

@celtics3456789 Any love for Evidence's Cats and Dogs?

[benandreas369]

@efafootball25 dope album as well =)

[interpolluter29]

@celtics3456789 I put it in my top 5 for the year. I can't believe I just discovered it. It makes me want to check out more stuff immediately.

[Lycerate]

top 2 comments about Eminem. cool

[Barrywhitesface]

deep



[BoyBigSexy]

"dont wish upon a star, grab a comet by its tail"

[mitchmans]

cunnylinguists disliked their own video 8 times to make the bar look like a joint :)

[ynot420x]

@mitchmans What kind of green joints u smoking on, maybe a green dutch or game.

[BoyBigSexy]

@mitchmans tht was really stupid...haha

[Isurvived2012]

and hit the ground runnin. love that line.

[TzarnazProductions]

fuck me this is beautiful

[akaBackseat]

without sour grapes there would be no wine. put this on the radio!

[Naptimeusa]

we the people are changing this upcomming year has a lot of vibes. the year of pices is up now we are now starting the year of aquaries... love and enjoy... peace and love.... everyone

[FreedomGotAnAK]

someone should chop and screw this.

[Xtreme4l1f3]

@FreedomGotAnAK what? no.



[wildgrem]

Eminem is undeniably one of the best.

[wildgrem]

@RDoubleRooneyRonaldo

Dude CL has been around forever, Eminem is not afraid of these videos simply because the masses dont want to hear this....this shit is for the enlightened ones only.... so support your artists, buy the album!

[jinnwarior]

the instrumental is absolutely stunning, but i'm not a fan of the rap track. no emotion it it IMO.

[TobyLee87]

@jinnwarior No emotion? Seriously? Read the lyrics and then tell me there's no emotion.

[jinnwarior]

@TobyLee87

any emotion in the lyrics is void, when they're mumbled in that monotone rap voice.

[magikman3]

@jinnwarior I'm sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about.

[rustygranite]

@jinnwarior STFU

[magikman3]

damn, i didnt even know that they dropped this album, this is dope!

[UFBear15]

Ironically…. This album is getting slept on

This is simply a masterpiece and each song gets better with each listen. This is hands down the best track on the album though, hits you out of nowhere and is musically flawless.

[mtcw2790]

@UFBear15 its getting a lot of attention, remember they're not a mainstream group you're not gonna see them on mtv

[UFBear15]

@mtcw2790

Well Im well aware that no good music, or anything that even remotely counts as music comes on tv or the radio.

[bearfayce]

My favorite group of all time. So emotionally involved in their music. Get it ?

[dadoz2k]

@bearfayce same, i dont get why they are not more famous than they are

[Jaaoood]

Soulbangin all the way :)

[prospectboy]

These guys albums are so inspiring. I love everything they have put out since I've gotten up on them. This track here is no different. Love the entire song, but I love the line by Natti, "Against all odds and against the grain, sun becomes shelter in the midst of rain" They definitely deserve more recognition than what they get.

[whorehay666]

god this is 1 of the best albums i've ever herd,life changing

[Kenny31190]

this song is addicting, its like 4 minutes to a happier day

[prospectboy]

@Kenny31190 I agree totally.

[yumyum97]

Goosebumps all the way.... !

[GemSh0t]

The beat just puts me in a daze, so good

[WeedHeadPig]

fuck lil wayne, salja boy and other so called "rappers" who are worth shit!

[101andrewj]

the beat at the end is too ill

[YouSandwich1]

No Dirty Acres but it's pretty sick

[MrFenn88]

Why is there not a LOVE button, like is not enough!

[CireNappat]

this here is imagery and metaphors done right. keep at it CL

[SpaceCadetMarty]

These guys got me into rap... this coming from a grindcore fan.

[Deathbybirth]

@SpaceCadetMarty you should check out Atmosphere.

[Pawelk8x]

fuck I'm stoned as fuck

[Bouzyhead1Television]

@Pawelk8x Was just thinking that and saw your comment and was confused for a second hahahah

[MindpLayOnline]

Seen them live couple of times, they are an awesome bunch. Respect for genuine artists

[iamaskater1221]

@keepern0 you really should check out Thomax . He's from norway and beatmaker, he remixes all the underground classics and gives them a whole new feeling.. for example " jedi mind tricks heavy metal kings "

check out thomax.org to download all his remixes ... for free!

[akspartan92]

@keepern0 You might like Zion I. Try "Silly Puddy" or "Soo Tall," two great songs, although they don't have that same rock/guitar background if that's what your looking for. Otherwise, try Atmosphere "guarantees."

[rg743]

this song is on a whole different underwater donkey kong level type of steez

[MaadMojo]

This song is beautiful, but hits hard! That's what CunninLynguists do.

[indierocks87]

I like that guitar track

[J5is420]

8BALL $ MJG SMOKE TO THIS SONG

[puertoricanguy999]

Imagine if EMINEM sang with this guys.EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

[WNK123]

@puertoricanguy999 I bet they would be up for it!

"But fuck it, you can find me at home lonely

Praying to my Eminem shrine holding a rosary" - Kno @ Southernunderground

[Gurjot333]

@puertoricanguy999 These guys are too chill for his ass.

Natti: "Instead of wishing on the stars, grab a comet by the tail.."

Eminem: NOW BLEED! BITCH BLEED!

BLEED! BITCH BLEED! BLEED!

[NAFGamer]

Last night they rocked the El Rey theater in Hollywood alongside tonedeff best show I have seen in a long time these guys are the most underrated artists out.

[animalsarefood]

The Pink Floyd of hip hop. True Artists! Too bad the main stream faggots know nothing about what true hip hop is, if they did these guys would be fuckin billionaires.

[TheHumanBallsack]

Epic..EPIC SHIT!!

[Lyrikkalmurda]

Theres only 3 hiphop albums Ive actually boughten year. Lupe Fiasco- Lasers, Tyler the Creator - Goblin, and THIS. Definitely worth the money

[benandreas369]

@Lyrikkalmurda I was disappointed w/ Lupe's album. Sounded outdated and a little too poppy at times, but you cannot blame the guy.. his record label fucked him over. Song's that he wanted on, they got taken out. Songs that he did not want on the album, were put in. Hopefully Atlantic will play fair ball with Lupe and let him create the album that he wants to create.

[snehesten]

one of those tracks that give you chills

[xs3kShUun8x]

About to see them next week at El Rey!! Forsure, it will not disappoint!!

[LiftYourBW]

you could hate music with a passion and still find a way to like this song

[tasgraff420]

so, so, so nise

[kastenproduktion]

this is one of the sickest beats i,ve heard the last 3 r 3 years

[AlphaAccount]

Flawless production and doesn't anyone hear some inspiration from Tupac (as far as flow goes) in those first few lines?

[TheHumanBallsack]

@AlphaAccount Natti: "...without them sour grapes there would be no wine."

'Pac: The darker the flesh then the deeper the roots..."

So yeah, I agree.

[seanyyg]

I love these guys more than anyone. This is the way hip-hop should sound. BUY THEIR MUSIC!!! SUPPORT THESE GUYS!

[MeKflow]

ok I bury the hatchet with rap !

[tasgraff420]

Every one of their song is greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!!!!

[arreola961]

SICK ass SONG real talk ....cunninlynguists keepin it hip hop

[arreola961]

SICK ass SONG real talk ... cunninlynguists keepin it hip-hop

[GemSh0t]

There isn't a single flaw to this track.... the production is nothing but incredible, and every verse is on point with great lyrics. Oneirology is a CLASSIC

[TheSplintr]

This shit is too legit.... Praise be to real hip hop

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

You've gotta be deaf not to appreciate this masterpiece just purely amazing, this is the definition of how you make hip hop.

[demoneo]

mannnn smoke some weed to this shit. Fo' get about it! Finally some real Hip Hop!

[a1m05tg0n3]

next to blue sky black death, kno makes the best beats and I love the rhymes on Oneriology best work from all three of the MCs imo.

[sebyiiy]

OMG !!!!! I'm so hight with this song :O

[linkinfan4]

SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN EMINEM!!!

[Grasshoper94]

@linkinfan4

I agree but Eminem is not that bad I think Eminem is cool two

you had to say much better than lil wayn or drake of some of that shit

[mclanus]

@linkinfan4............i dunno, slim shady lp is classic! WAY more emotion

[mugen1237]

@linkinfan4 Dude, so much better than mainstream in general...

[hoopskidd3]

@mugen1237 if you're looking for good non-mainstream rap, check out the blue scholars. also, eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time @linkinfan4 and @RDoubleRooneyRonaldo so don't you guys dare ever disrespect him again. whether or not you like his music has nothing to do with his raw talent, which he displays time and time again and proves each time his dominance in the rap world. sorry he's mainstream. scratch that. sorry im not sorry. he deserves the limelight.

[mugen1237]

@hoopskidd3 I'm not looking for good undeground music. I've got shit loads. And I never disrespected Eminem. The industry is trying to take him over though. And I think he would be better underground without industry influences.

[hoopskidd3]

@mugen1237 if you have shit loads of underground music, you should know the Blue Scholars and i never said you did - the disrespecting em was directed at linkin fan and rdoublerooney who blatantly shit on eminem...just check out the top comments. i also completely agree with you that he would be better off without the industry influences.

[mugen1237]

@hoopskidd3 Well, I DO have shit loads, BUT never heard of Blue Scholars. I'll check them out though.

[LuketheJuke24]

@mugen1237 Check out Blue Scholars. Anyone who likes these guys will love them.

[mugen1237]

@LuketheJuke24 They're awesome. I have two albums.

[mugen1237]

@hoopskidd3 Wow they're great. I just downloaded their album, it's awesome! :D

[jrompyy]

@linkinfan4 you shouldnt even mention any mainstream names in this videos comments

[redbarryz]

Natti's first verse absolutely kills

Kno deservedly gets lots of props for his production, but it's high time more people bump Natti and Deacon for their amazing rhymes.

[OldshcoolTypeSoul]

@redbarryz Natti and Deacon are great but Kno is just so ambitiuos with his production. I definitely think Deacon and Natti wouldn't be as good as they are with Kno's production.

[jakubrogowski]

WYPAS!~!!

[OldshcoolTypeSoul]

Great Album! Here's how I'd rank their albums:

1. "Dirty Acres"

2. "Oneirology"

3. "A Piece Of Strange"

4. "Southernunderground"

5. "Will Rap For Food"

[LexusFordsSA]

This beat is IAWKAJKAWJRK,SADNWQPR.

Incredible.

[Lycerate]

<3 simply amazing

[keithrose4227]

also check out Kno's solo album he came out called death is silent

[Lorenshyne]

Im glad somebody can produce such a song in 2010. Whos on the beats?

[pharcyd00]

@Lorenshyne DJ Kno...one of the best in the game

[holdawg]

@Lorenshyne It's 2011

[aalsson]

@Lorenshyne

You don't know Kno?!?!?

Better get off your lazy ass and buy all CunninLynguists albums and Kno's solo album!

[MetalOwns101]

amazing...

[Hirschchen]

together with amostphere's "she's enough" best hip hop track 2011so far...awesome.

[jdmcivic1025]

@Hirschchen atmosphere's got nothing on cunninlynguists

[hyetothesky]

the best

[BookOfTheDead89]

Best song of 2011 so far.. good god this is amazing

[dougkonzen]

Great new album

[princessdeez]

This song is quite possibly my favorite on the album. Climatic song, right here.

[lollipoplinds]

I wish they would come to Vegas for a show! I can't get enough of CunninLynguists. I grew up in Utah. They Helped me find myself in more ways than one, "Doin Alright," and "Mic Like a Memory," those tracks go on repeat when I feel like giving up. (Also note I'm a Artist myself) I blast this track up, and suddenly I get into my realm of painting, and can't believe how much they inspire me. "get ignorant" is an anthem to me. CUNNIN' You are my medicine. Nothin' but respect, thank you so much!

[88COPE]

this track is a monster. makes me look forward to riding my fixed around the city at night, all alone, cruising forever

[DJAMOND]

great piece of art!!

Always makes my day!!

[SeannyBoii]

The instrumental beat that starts at 3:00 is crazy fucking good. If any of y'all listen to Curren$y tell me he wouldnt go hard on that beat haha.

[jglenellen]

yootooberism apparently has 5 YouTube accounts,one for each of his brain cells

[MishAbasi]

unlike 99.9% of rap, this doesn't make me want to vomit.

[poltronafrau]

seeing them in AMSTERDAM tomorrow! !!!!

[Janzimp]

@poltronafrau

I'l see them in The Hague on Saturday! can't wait for it

[poltronafrau]

@Janzimp vettte show of niet!!!!!!

[Dougs90]

so so chill

[spaceman341992]

The guitars sounds like a craig chaquico tune.

[NickV801]

BUY THIS SHIT

Support the most consistent group in hip hop....whole album is amazing - whole discography is amazing

[jdmcivic1025]

For some reason, this song reminds me of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart, on N64. That is a good thing btw.

[stokelycalm]

damn i cant believe kno produced this...amazing producer. and deacon kills it on the lyrics....man just MARVELOUS track!

[IAmBob23]

such an ill album

just flows so smoothly together

[goldner34]

KO

[64Pharcyde]

The CD came through my letter box yesterday and I haven't stopped playing it since. Fuck it's good.
