And compare the views. Sick if you ask me xd

[jazzefingers]

hip hop used to be about creativity and portraying real talent! ....radios, tvs, award shows are so damn predictable now, i hate it! ......watch the group "INRG - TAKE A PICTURE", revolutionizing the sound of good music!

[JBtheProducer]

@jazzefingers hip hop still is about creativity. the music you're referring to is called rap-pop

[barneez1]

damn the roots production is rediculoussssss!!!!!! love these boys.. philly jellyfish!!

[cyrusjerome]

too real for vevo :P

[Ijelu77]

Remember they told you BE careful when u make contact and break contract.......turn ur Strawman into a Tin man. UCC-1

[Leadman1989]

@ThenNick6991

Remember when youtube was free? Oh it still is so STFU

Remember when Idiots weren't complaining about a service they paid nothing for? Me neither.

[Jawwaad111]

Hands up for real Hip Hop. This beat just hypotizes you. Black Thought kills it.

[ultimateplaya23q]

Always get goosebumps hearing this song!

[MrNooksey78]

so underated black thought is a proper rapper !!

[RiseDemUp]

You see alot a life lost for the white horse...

[MsTankgirl1972]

loving this !!!!!

[BrownMan59]

@ThenNick6991 hey dumbo, this isn't posted by vevo... go post your stupid comments somewhere else

[dinoman742]

Lil Wayne has no real talent, except for his weak ass voice. Thats it, hes Trash!! And people still love his music.

[hellrazor24]

@dinoman742 sad but true. lil wayne's only talent is brainwashing unwary tweens into thinking he is great

[dkyx]

@hellrazor24 Not a fan of wayne either but I've grown to respect him after his killer performance on SNL. Look it up, 6 foot seven.

[shadowoblivion88]

this song gets me so PUMPED! ahaha

[rulertaz7777777]

i love this song...when i was first listening to it and i heard peedi on the track i went crazy!!!! P.S..... raekwon has a song on his new album with black thoght on it called masters of our fate...if you aint heard it yet you might wana look it up...its epic

[gronlaf]

@MarijuanaMichelle TEN BLUNT BIG-UPS TO YOU SEE THE FRONT COVER OF "RISING DOWN"...VERY PROPHETIC"

[MrBreakaNeck]

that guy from 2:26 is so awesome daammmnnn

[rulertaz7777777]

@MrBreakaNeck peedi crack...hed be alot more famous but he cant stay outv jail

[kanahei97]

2:16 Cheerios Ma Niggaa...



[tennis3232]

Favorite Roots song, "so hard to describe"

[weedquarzer]

Oh man this track is so, so dope, I should actually listen more Roots-stuff!

[DobroBad]

bless

[ElTresDeMayo1808]

2:05 - 2:10 best part. How the guy doesn't even care and just passes him xD

[Jackler190]

2:27-2:35 Maniac-like

[GaystationSuckz]

I just with with all the rap videos i see, just stop the conversation on lil wayne. No one cares. That guy is trash, let me just listen to the music already without having people saying "lil wayne" already.

[jameslkj]

Dont even bother saying shit bout lil wayne leave him outta this because it obvouis that the roots are fuking real and youd have to be retarted not to relise as soon as you hear this.

[LegsLikePistonz]

I want an afro pick usb stick

[hapz3000]

u see a lot of life lost with the white horse (revelations)

[nyse41685]

@hapz3000 you see a lotta life lost FOR the white horse -big difference. He's saying governments are sacrificing there people for a greater evil... do some research about what the "pale white horse" represents

[hapz3000]

@nyse41685 fellow hip hop fan it takes more than words or a word to keep me from understanding a non complex contex. 1 life will be lost because of the white horse 2 life will be lost if it were not FOR the white horse. 3 will life be saved with the white horse? NO life will be lost WITH the white horse as well. Nothing can stop me!!

[TylerNY315]

If Black Thought is in a song, his verse is the best.

[dsruptad]

The Roots... Way too dope

[cardhang]

hey i thought i saw a white guy in there

damn

[r7diego]

OMG !! haaarrrrggggg HIP HOP IS REBORN FROM HELL AND WILL RAVAGE THE WORLD, this is so real

[93BiggieShakur]

Makes me sad when I search Get Busy on Frostwire and Sean Paul comes up before The Roots :'(

[tight998]

@93BiggieShakur makes me sad you download their music for free instead of buying there cd

[FelixMNML]

@tight998

buy the vynil instead of the CD and keep it real!

[imhotep82]

@FelixMNML fucked up definition of keepin it real!

anybody listenin to the roots instead of listening to some Rick Ross bullshit or stuff like that is already keepin it real!

[eraciod21]

The roots are one of my favorites, I was listening to their tribute to dilla album and did a song called over again over their "wicked ways" track please check it out and tell me what you think

[318Neam]

good ole DICE RAW........

[cm588]

the guy in the beginning kinda sounds like Nas..

[bc146]

@cm588 you really need some rap lessons

[VyseIV]

Go and listen from Dr. Carter to Let the Beat Build on Tha Carter III then tell me you think Lil Wayne is shit. Also get Da Drought 3 off datpiff.com. His singles aren't representative of his whole output.

Anyway love this album and The Roots.

[LUWAN0]

The Roots rock! Fuck lil Gay´n

[5ringswarrior]

[saulhiphop]

[Indymusicisthe11]

I'm a 90's child born in 92 and i know this shit is real hip hop... all the mainstream shit out now sucks its all about starting your on label

[saulhiphop]

@Indymusicisthe11 -good to hear someone of a younger generation sayin shit like this.

[aslad]

Quest Love is probably one of the most bad ass drummers out there right now. His beats are just plain sick.

[blackkeychucktown]

kinda funny they too embarrassed to show the white bassist in the video

[TheFactoryReject]

@blackkeychucktown They showed a white guy, wy would they find another embarrasing.

[flipwagah]

[julian1559]

@flipwagah Questlove

[ElStefano2008]

Black Thought is so sickkkk...! So excited for John Legend and The Roots album next month!  The lead single, "Wake Up" features Common and Melanie Fiona... So good!

If so many people hate lil wayne how come that ugly gremling looking mofoko is still making money? oh i know! , by prostituting himself to the industry. Boooya!

[oldschoolsample]

so sick of seeing lil waynes name on the comments of some actual QUALITY music...

[LeLimeLine]

@oldschoolsample Same here. You check out some old punk rock videos and they're crawling with people bitching about Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, as if they're even remotely relevant. It's unbelievably irritating.

[SacramentoKings23]

@oldschoolsample AMEN! Im sick of seeing his lame ass name on comments of actual hip hop! If people don't like his shit then stop givin him attention on other vids.. You just Uppin a Wack dude even more.. See im in the frustrated group of people who are sick of mainstream but that's why we got The Roots :)

[ghost4doom]

@oldschoolsample and were sick nof seeing Lil weezy's name next to Hip hop

[KursadDayi]

Now that's the Roots. (Not the Jimmy Fallon Roots).

[dclive2000]

LOL! You foul for that one!! I'm not mad. We all get old. And I think that says alot for the Roots to go on late night show. Their music is being broadcast to the next level.

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

@djpozz Yo they Eating I mean punk ass radio never play these brothers

[xperienceths]

jimmy fallon is lame as fuck. the roots should team up with conan

[rappadapp]

[motherbrain86]

the roots and de la soul are the real masterminds of hip hop

no one can endure as well as them

[boojam007]

[Werd2thaWyze99]

[zxcv73]

[rapperid]

[sweee10]

[geordangundelfinger]

Lyrical genius.

BT > Life itself

[jazzefingers]

the roots embody real hip hop!! gotta love em especially when tdays garbage gets airplay 24/7....check this group "INRG" they have that fresh sound that real music lovers need to listen to!

[Revolutionoffunk]

The Roots are to Hip Hop like Mozart was to classical music. They transcend the "rap" of the day and seek something much more pure.

[eeedel]

I'm glad Peedi Crack is working with them now versus the cats he was rollin with before.

[Blaquuz16]

Ey this are The Roots.Names like Lil Wayne dont have a place here;)

[MrNecrobutcher666]

word

[publickonvoy]

@Blaquuz16 fuk u dick ed. weezy got a place everywher

[Shea354]

@publickonvoy I beg to differ. If Lil Wayne and Black Thought were to battle it out...I'm sure Black Thought would win.

[visno]

@publickonvoy weezy sucks sorry but theres at least 100 emcees with more skills than him.

[publickonvoy]

@visno wuldnt be so sure bt tht

[Emelec18]

@publickonvoy Flagged as spam and thumbed down.

[publickonvoy]

@Emelec18 come on his vid and write that? show u a real thumbs down

[publickonvoy]

@publickonvoy got a place? wat u chattin breeze for

[trumpetsoul]

@Blaquuz16 & @visno SO TRUE!!! FINALLY SUMBODY

[Ltwolf27]

Man I hate the fact that The Roots are Underated, I wish it was "the roots" and not "lil wayne" lol Black thought has mad talent

[visno]

thats cause kids these days want "that hot shit."

fools dont care about lyrics anymore.

[wfbwrestler]

@visno so incredibly and sadly true.  no appreciation for the good shit anymore...except for us

[RICHARDcGABRIEL]

@visno tell me about it dude ..beats play a bigger role than lyrics in these new lame artist's songs ..

[furiousphoenix77]

@visno So true. They did never care...

[realhiphopmusic100]

@visno I agree with that, They just listen to whats "Catchy" lyrics mean nothing to them.

[StevenConcrete]

@visno this shit is hot.

its hot as hell

[Ajak28Hype]

@visno THIS is that hot shit

[realhiphopmusic100]

@visno True that. The kids just want whats "Catchy".

Lil' Wayn: "Got 10 bathrooms i can shit all day."

When i hear kids say lyrics like that i just lose it. I'm like thats not lyrical.

[blackstar21595]

@visno man I'm one of those "kids" how do u think i feel when my age group doesnt listen to lyrics :[

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@visno I know, I'm listening to some music and there like. "Maaan that song is old."

Yeh ...I no ...,

[popp1nbottlez]

@visno they do care about lyrics. that's why they quote weezy and drake. if they're not into this then they're not into this. get the fuck over it, different people like different musics.

[visno]

@popp1nbottlez yes im sure "i'm a venerial disease, like a menstrual bleed" is the paramount of good lyricism. (actual weezy lyric)

[lrkazy27]

@visno tell me about it bro, im one of the few people in my high school that actually gives a damn about hip hop like this, all of the others are completely blind of what good music theyre missin on, its sad how the mainstream industry can brainwash someone easily.

[offtheboxpromotions]

what a track ;O)

[djngog]

Look my squad half mandrill and half Mandella...........rhh......li­ve it...bless to the Blak Thought

[FunnyChloeMichelle]

[mrthinksalot]

It just isn't fair when other rappers get on a track with Black Thought. lol but Dice did his thing as USUAL.
