The Budos Band - Ride or Die

[boburiinchankludho]

If it weren't for the Black Eyed Peas I wouldn't have known of this awesome band!

[pinkinDE]

[LegSpreader69]

This is some shit man. I feel like fighting 1950's baddies with my sidekick now.

[shat619]

Sounds like that one song from Justin timberlake damn girl

[peaceoverall]

@ChazSupreme I very much agree, although it's not just old hip-hop. There is a lot of good stuff to listen to. Gang Starr is a great rap group and Del Tha Funkee Homo Sapien is perhaps one of the best rappers of today. They've got some words to spout.

[backyardsausage]

just saw these guys in norway, awesome!

[SH1]

Sounds like the glorious soundtrack to a 70's film about hairy men driving fast cars, shagging chicks and punching bad dudes in the mouth. And it's one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.

[Oscar301]

dirtbag!

[BAbixWHish3s]

GOod shit!

[riceater87]

I can't believe this is being made in the 00's and 10's, gives me faith in music again!

[TERRORDACTYL667]

krook3d was the shit, i just wish they had the same music for the 2d edit, the glasses fucked me up

[AudacesKyte]

Fk,i woke up and the first thing i hear is this...my day will be damn good today.

[helstegtpattegris]

[yehigota5inchtaint]

Love this track but, it sounds like ASS! Maybe try a better rip next time?

[renecito007]

[leochiana]

i discovered this band two months ago and i never put off this disc from cd player,just fantastic!!!!

[sqwuade]

Kudos to the Budos!

[trirailskater954]

KROOK3D!!!

[101kps]

to be honest, i dont really like the black eyed peas 'version' (although the only bit i listen to is the fergie solo at the beginning and I'm a MASSIVE fan....) but i'd heard it was sampled so i'm now listening to this and to be honest to all those budos band die hards.... don't worry as i wouldnt really class it as being sampled in the first place!! sounds nothing like this song so dont take offence.

[GratefulWeimz89]

Although it has plenty of funk elements, I'd call this afrobeat before i'd call it funk. Just listen to the percussion and the horns. They favor afrobeat more than funk rhythms.

[funkmusicman]

you last two

cal67

and floppy

yeah - you know it

i couldn't sample this. unless i could do better i would just bonus track it on the end of my CD some things are precious

[alexp9999]

i hate scorpions  =/

[Juk3n]

The essence of 'Funk' ..this is funk music. Recognize.

[dtck34]

Black eyed peas? ima be?

[DoctorSess]

@dtck34 ima give you a black eye if you even mention trash like that again :-)

[xmajesticmoosex]

Sorry for my ignorance, but what type of music is this?

[Phobia017]

@xmajesticmoosex fuuuuuuunk.

[gojira1968]

@xmajesticmoosex

it's the sort of music people listen to in the event they are inclined to.

[DoctorSess]

@xmajesticmoosex its that mutha funkin funky stuff!

[rmsolympic1]

@xmajesticmoosex Modern instrumental funk

[zarenj21]

If you're gonna sample this song, do it right. And "imma be" is a garbage song. The black eyed peas were better before.

[Cwhitfield15]

@zarenj21 They were never good to my ears.

[najma50000]

OMG!!!!!! I Have been searching for this 4 ever!!!! great beat

[markino1963]

beat funk blackness...what do you want more than this?

[MTwistSounds]

wow, is this sampled right now? cus i think i will doo..

[durrwin]

2:20 gets fresh to the max, although the whole song is class

[HandsomeHybrid]

This was such a dope beat!!! Just sick! I must go see them perform live @ The Granada in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, August 22nd 8pm...

[HelloCello2126]

WATA GOOD TRACK.

[murrayftw]

Shit is hard as nails. We gotta get back to this y'all.

[LibZep]

Fu*k, I cannot WAIT to see Budos in Ottawa on July 16th. Mmm. What a delicious sound.

[ligitform]

This is probably the illest Jazz/funk/b-boy collabo I have ever heard. Big up to Budos. Keep doin what you're doin!

[arfendarf]

THEME MUSIC TO MY LIFE!!!!! if I'm on the toilet, making love to my girl, or grabbing a M*#@!% F*%$ING cup o' cafe.....this song is bumpin in my head.

[paintandillustrate]

BONG.

[akirasdog]

fresh!!!!!!!!!!

[thecool702]

i cant even tell how imma be sampled this. seems like it really wasnt a necessary sample.

[carlos312]

its not that much of a sample from IMMA BE. i think that since everyone in the music industry is a little bitch, BEP was just being safe and saying that the whole trumpet intro was kinda like this song so they wouldnt get sued. did you hear about the suit with those idiots from theBOOM BOOM POW song. nothing like it

[sith61391]

Hmm... Well i heard from someone that This was sampled on "Imma Be". Besides the first part...it doesn't seem so.

[SECKTORE]

Amazing!

[Elquetemes]

Awesome!

[LoboKhan1]

This would've been a great song in a Bruce Lee flick.

[QULLLL]

Your nasty pants:) like your music choice :D

[badgonegood85]

This is sampled ont the Black Eyed Peas new album "The END" Track is called Imma Be. Its dope!

[matthew1st]

thats an ace song, they dont really sound alike tho, except the begining

[cal679]

an awesome track hideously sampled and shoved onto one of the most base and vulgar tracks I've ever heard. Hopefully the budos band received a ridiculous amount of royalty money for the injustice

[powderdd]

@cal679 what was it?

[cal679]

@powderdd some bullshit by the black eyed peas, can't remember the name of the song

[Wisconsin222]

@cal679 Give you a hint, part of the lyrics of that song go "Imma be on the next level, Imma be rockin that base track, Imma be chillin with my mother-mother crew, Imma be making those deals you want to do..."

[danielthomasyoung]

I agree, awesome song

[poltronafrau]

GGGGGGGGGYEAH!

[OgamiDonno]

GANGSTA!!!!!!!!

[floppybollox3]

Please no! That Gangsta s@*t destroyed Black music!

[OgamiDonno]

STFU and Ride or Die!

[floppybollox3]

Learn some manners and get some musical taste, idiot!

[OgamiDonno]

PLEASE!

We both like the same song.

THANK YOU!

How is that for manners?

Am I still an idiot with this reply?

[floppybollox3]

No, now you have definitly shown class and good taste with your reply, I duly apologise for any offence caused. However I still maintain that the Gangsta Rap rubbish is an embarressment to Black music.

[ligitform]

@floppybollox3 You know that's pretty ignorant to say. First of all there are white and hispanic gangsta rappers as well. Second, it is only reflective of deep rooted social issues in society. In the different ghettos around the world they are crying out for help out of there. Yes they may glorify things around that maybe shouldn't, but that doesn't make it rubbish. You must have a pretty cush life if you aren't saying it having got out of a ghetto yourself!

[floppybollox3]

@ligitform The same deep seated issues existed 20,30 and 40 years ago or more, in fact things were heavier during segregation, yet Black music was creative, expressive, expansive. Not self-destructive and exploited like today. Today's generation want the dollar at any cost. Rappers from other races are 'token' in their effect, not indicative of the state of black music. And I'm from Hackney mate, roughest ghetto in the UK, rough as any stateside, so I know what I'm talking about.

[floppybollox3]

@Not sure if you're being ironic or serious, anyway what we need is a return to good music full stop. It doesn't matter who plays it, skintone is not a condition for sensititvity and intelligence, most so-called 'white music' today is also a pile of piss-in-the pot American Idol crap. It's all lead by the music industry to kill the power for change that music has, make 'em dumb give 'em Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers, Sad but true, and this generation knows no better.

[floppybollox3]

@checkabreak Believe me I've tried to listen to Lil Wayne and others of this genrations Hip Hop stars. I just find there is nothing there that I can call creative music as in past generations, everyone is rapping about the same thing, over the same beat, posturing and being essentially vulgar.Women are reduced to 'ho's' and 'bi*hes', and criminality and black on black violence is glamourised. Past generations may not have written their own songs but their talent was overwhelming.

[ChazSupreme]

@floppybollox3 You're listening to the wrong field of music from Hip Hop culture. Like you've said "vintage", gotta go back and listen to the better stuff like Eric B. and Rakim, KRS-One etc etc...not all rap music is about ghetto life.

[floppybollox3]

@ChazSupreme Oh I know check out my home page and you'll see I give full recog- nition to the old true skool of Hip Hop. Today the genre is dead, massacred by the Industry's promtion of mediocrity and the lowest common denominator.

[Pai001]

@ChazSupreme krs mostly rap about ghetto life though.. nottin bad with that just saying. He does it with wisdom, along with ra, and so on

[ChazSupreme]

@Pai001 Dude I don't think you understand, I've stated not all rap music is about ghetto life...do you understand why I even mention those artists? Cause their rhymes are ill and in such detail that mc's/rappers these days still can't compete. And ra as in Afu Ra? I know that Nas rhymes about ghetto life too...just the "rap" u hear these days are watered down and talking shit.

[thatnugguh]

@floppybollox3 have u ever listened...i mean actually listed to Jay Z...take a minute listen from the beginning of his career....do your research and not only will u understand but you'll see that the vulgarity u speak of is just a form of expression...Jay-Z is talented lyrically...ppl dont take the time to understand his lyrics...most just take it for its face value...its much deeper...

[floppybollox3]

@thatnugguh Jay-Z is industry period! Don't try to impose some non-existant street credibility to his money-making antics. people like Jay-z have presided over the death of black musical creativity. You can express artistically without palying the same vulgar formula again and again and....etc.

[checkabreak]

@floppybollox3 you need to get yer facts straight about Jay Z he is as good dylan ...

Motherfuckers -

say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)

Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?

See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined

That same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin doin'

what I do through and through and

I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view

Jay Z (renegade)

[floppybollox3]

@checkabreak Do not make me laugh!Please, how many f*@ls want to convinve me that these Hip Hop Moguls living their multimillionaire lifestyles are really down with the street. It's just business , it's not about music, appear to be cool, sell street credibility by the trailerload to surburban american kids desperate for something authentic. Pocket the cash and do nothing to rock the boat. It's just business man! Bring back Public Enemy for fuck sake and learn something.

[checkabreak]

@floppybollox3 lol but thats the thing, we love P.E. we love Ghost Face we "LOve" Mad Lib and We also LOve Jay Z and LIl Wayne your the one bringing your "hate" talking about something you do not understand :D who's going to talk about the projects?( i'm from NYC by the way) drugs ,crack? who? the news? this is old news sir ... l'm going listen to the budos band, i'm also going to pretend you are not a hipster lol

[floppybollox3]

@checkabreak Dude you can love who you like that's your free choice, just don't try to sell it as cool and hip because there are others (more than enough) who KNOW it ain't! Isn't your Lil Wayne off to prision with Ja Rule? That's your role model? That's what you admire? There were thugs in the past but they always told of how that wasn't the route to follow, it gets you no where. Now you all making heros out of these leeches on the Afro-American community. 'Hater'? Na, Truther my truther!

[x106xAeRox106x]

@floppybollox3 LOL, i love 

[floppybollox3]

@checkabreak The projects, crack, what you think because yout from NYC that gives bragging rights on ghetto life, Pleez. If that's the case you truly have no-idea. These things will never be 'old news' as you call it when it's the misery millions live everyday. Turn away, make with the MAN, forget where you come from, SELL OUT! Anyone who does that is a puppet and a traitor to their own, now tell me you like P.E.!

[laceythepoon]

@checkabreak you really shouldn't insult poetic genius by comparing one with a fashion icon such as jay z. there are a lot more talented rappers/mc's out there, look at earlier hip hop such as de la soul and skee lo!!! its all about fun and music, not trying to explain yourself to the general public!

[checkabreak]

@laceythepoon i'm not explaining anything, just defending a man (jay z) you obviously have not listen too, I can recite Delas first three albumz can you? :D nah we love MF Doom we love Jay Z we love the budos band BROOKLYN !!! lol

[floppybollox3]

@laceythepoon Ain't that the truth! I was checking out some Young MC the other day, what creative genius, what fun and positivity. The Rappers of yesteryear where unique, individual, now you can't tell one from the other, every track seems to start with "I waz in da club, deez bitches..." you can fill in the rest yourself, doesn't take too much imagination.

[ligitform]

@checkabreak if you think lil wayne is "GOOD" music you crazy. I'm with floppybollox3 on this one. There is no musical talent. Just a bunch of rambling to a snare drum, bass drum, and a jingling noise for a melody. Budos band put a lot of effort into composing, practicing and performing this. The closest thing wanyne has done for hard work is flailing around on stage in front of hot lights. Woohoo, he broke a sweat! New music is soft though. Ghetto's have no voice thanks to mainstream like wayne

[shinybald36]

@floppybollox3 agreed, but it's so popular, it will be around for a long time. And with music appreciation classes being nearly exstinct in elemnentry, middle and high school, i think you'll continue to see this type of devolution.

[floppybollox3]

@shinybald36 Depressingly true!

[borchabronx]

@floppybollox3

thats because ur a Uncle Tom

[floppybollox3]

@borchabronx No,my friend your fake black radicalism and the Crap Rap radicalism of today's Hip Hop is the true Uncle Tom. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking you follow the tradition of those who fought for your right to fuck up today. Guns, Thugs,Drugs, Ho's and Bling! That's what being an African American is to you!? How low can it go? The musical monotony and the negative message is exactly what the industry wants. Not postive messages or role-models. Who's the sellout now?

[borchabronx]

@floppybollox3

Say some punk try to get you for your auto,

Would you call the one-time, play the role model?

No, I think you play like a thug

Next hear the shot of a magnum slug

[floppybollox3]

@borchabronx What!? You know what, I don't think we are really on the same wave length, debate is pointless here. I'm talking about music (or the lack of it in 21st centuary Rap) and you're talking about killing, shooting people. I think that says it all. You are the perfect representation of what's wrong with that genre, There is nothing admirable. glamorous or cool about being a murderous thug. It's PATHETIC! If someone steals my car I go to the police, it's just car, grow up!

[borchabronx]

@floppybollox3

fuckin these rap moralists, they everywhere, yet they dont even get or listen rap music, but ever since the 80s they shit how its violent, criminal, influencing people to do wrong stuff, get the fuckin hell out of here

[floppybollox3]

@borchabronx How do you know I don't listen to Rap Music? I judge on what I hear little man. And what, are you telling me that the crap that passes of for Rap today is NOT violent, misoginistic, promoting self-destructive behaviour in the African American community?

[foduruti]
