[TheBlackMurda]

Getting Up 2 !!!!

[ChemicalDoom]

There has got to be a remake of Getting up: Contents Under Pressure. That game was amazing, as unrefined as it was it was simply amazing, i could only imagine what it could be on the new generation of consoles

[NodFasha]

piss on the constitution, then burn the magna carta !

[RAPEATER09]

All I know is what I feel

Deceive my eyes and distort what's real

All truth will set you free

I rather die on my feet than delivery my knees

[grimrapper2000]

@RAPEATER09 im pretty sure its - die on my feet than to live on my knees...delivery my knees, what does that meen?

[RAPEATER09]

@grimrapper2000 Yeah you right that what i wrote is stupid to translate :D

[sleestakattack]

@grimrapper2000 Yes "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees." --Emiliano Zapata ...famous quote

[capitalmindz]

@RAPEATER09 "I'd rather die on my feet *than to live on* my knees

[weareallanemic]

rage against the machine would be proud!

[IDontWantYourCereal]

@weareallanemic exactly what i was just thinking haha

[mazadiablo]

This song sends chills down my spine, with truth.

[longshot1120]

9/06, he knew...

[KnuckleBustah]

@longshot1120 what do you mean? Just curious...

[longshot1120]

@KnuckleBustah its a reference to the game getting up. long story short at the end you reveal a conspiracy to the world containing that code and when you do this music plays

[KnuckleBustah]

@longshot1120 ah - pretty cool. Thanks man.  Never would have figured that one out...

[truthspeaks01]

@longshot1120 can you explain to me??? :-/

[64tato64]

@truthspeaks01 This song appears in the game getting up, where you start as a young artist and start gaining street rep through graffiti, 9/06 is the date sung (city's mayor) killls decoy (someone like a mentor for trane, the protagonist)

After that trane start to paint stuff like 9/06 SUNG KNEW

[mytrollface123]

@64tato64 you mean at 9/06 he killed trane dad he just wanted to be professional so they would never know it was him decoy told him that when he died fyi the girl killed decoy

[64tato64]

@mytrollface123 I finished it years ago, so i may be wrong...

[switchest26]

lovvin the drum beat..good on ya PM..breakin the mould!

[traumateezo]

the pharoahe speaking his word to his people

[RAPEATER09]

This I call real rap

[theKCRoyalty]

dope. as. fuck.

[NotSoPrinceCharming]

Getting up :'(

[GorgeousThunder]

So, so, so TOUGH!

[Apophlc]

This sounds like a mixture of Rock and rap?? 

[kingdudejohn]

@JessAtlas This IS rap retard

[clickclick21]

well, that was certainly dope. sums it up perfectly.

[longshot1120]

9/06, he knew...

[AMOST1]

that's right !stupid rappers now adays concentrate on popularity, instead of the art of style, patterns, techniques, and intelligence. Always a favorite of mine since organized konfusion!!!

[jjcale1111]

Piss on the constitution, burn the magna carta.....WTF. I like this guy but he needs to do some more reading...

[stevenINC8]

@jjcale1111

you need to do some more listening...I believe he means that despite the existence of documents which prevent the goverment from abusing it's authority they keep doing it and they don't give a f*ck about the public unless it's voting time..so since they are useless in action and are useful only in theory we might as well burn them because it's time to act..

[jjcale1111]

@stevenINC8 That's what you believe... but its not what he said.

That said, your interpretation makes sense given the rest of what he's said.

... I'll keep an open mind though.

[jjcale1111]

@stevenINC8 I know its 3 months later ... but I had to say that you were right. I was wrong.

I honestly hadnt come accross this guy before and I didnt know where he was coming from.

Cheers mate.

[fromcottenwood]

rap is not a black guy with bling eveywhere rapping about how awsome he is to dubstep beats its a person who rhymes words to a medley of diffrent beats to create music that feels like orgasms in ur ears

[bernardo290499111]

people see rap as lil wayne and 50cent,i see rap as talib kweli,phanoahe monch,rakim and stuff

[yogiyovifuckyocouch3]

This is like some Rage against the Machine shit. I like it :3

[darksharxz]

... Damn

[infinitepossibility]

I love the rock vibe in this shit, goes hard! Love Pharohe!

[JessAtlas]

Rap is just a label put on music that has rhyming vocals. Rap means nothing. This is music.

[matteo8ita]

this for me is the best music of getting up thumps up if you are agree

[soultheinterrogator]

7 Lil Wayne fans hit the Dislike button.

[Jazz252v]

[djkrylon]

This man deserves more respect than any of those whack ass rappers on MTV, fuck major record labels, fuck mass media! Support underground music and study what our country is trying to do to us! Stay strong to your religions!

[DrEclipse1]

This song is clearly about illumati

[20zSketch]

1 of the best political emcee's the top 3? immortal diabolic and monch you dont  agree scream at me

[Bryan022MP]

@brandooriginalhack Thank you for the suggestion,I will.Cheers.

[SPDemon420]

I have Desire, and this isnt on my version, anyone got a link?

[oscar3114mike]

@SPDemon420 this track is exclusive amazon.com bonus track

[sirmize]

This song is the difference between hip-hop and rap, hip-hop is truth, rap is fantasy.

[squizz222]

@sirmize You're talkin out your ass. This song is good, but that's not the difference between hiphop and rap. Hiphop is a lifestyle, as well as a musical genre; rap is a style of vocals, and it's a major part of hiphop. Fact is, Pharoahe is a rapper; he raps to hiphop music. He's better than most, but it's still called rap what he does, and that's not an negative term.

[sirmize]

@squizz222 Granted the great KRS-ONE coined the phrase "rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live". I agree with that statement, but I believe it no longer holds water, when people say they listen to rap music its because they listen to 50cent or Lil'Wayne. If someone says they listen to hip-hop music, most likely they listen to Mos Def or Common. Even the artists themselves go with this, "I used to love her" is about hip-hop, Nas says Hip-hop is dead, Mos Def says "I am Hip Hop".

[ewestclassic9]

This my Shit

[sn1gger]

would be nice to see a video that doesnt mention lil wayne, 50 cent or eminem :)

[MrTheiceman93]

this shit flows

[bishopdante]

Man, this isn't hiphop... this is heavy metal!! Wicked!!

[luponi222]

piss on thje eminem and burn it the lil wayn .pharoahe monch are the fuckin best¡¡¡¡¡burning baby¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[MrShneck]

FUCK EMINEM

[MrBEATZ1000]

@MrShneck Fuck you.

[MrShneck]

@MrBEATZ1000 fuck you fanboy

[LineOfDeath12]

This is awesome..reminds me of rage against the machine but with more rap. 

[illbeatz2008]

@darell13 Im the same as you, im an agnostic the bible is written by his followers just as books are written these days, myths n shit and speculation and mostly riddles too, i believe there could be an afterlife but i cant a religion

[EyeConicRed]

=)

[TheHardcoreBastard]

desire was a misleading single man, coz that shit is wack but the rest of the album is dope, i bought internal affairs but i slept on this cd, ima buy it A.S.A.P

[kaoss0515]

@TheHardcoreBastard whattup hcb, peace & respect, but pump ya brakes, bro! if you think desire is wack, you aint really listenin to the man!

yall don't hear me, yall dont listen!

yall just wanna shine, yall just wanna glisten

floss, knowin that the soul is still missin!

Who am I? i'm the poetical pastor

slave to a label, but i own my masters!

still get it poppin without artists or repertoire

cuz monch is a monarch, only minus the A&R!

give the track another listen & check the lyrics!

[ThePharaoho]

Damn! He's my new favorite emcee. He and Nas.

[IQIKxKiLlA]

[hejsan43]

[Bryan022MP]

I don't listen to rap at all,but this is different from the mainstream crap like Lil Wayne and believe it or not even Eminem.This is actual rap glad I found it.

[8thman420]

@Bryan022MP you dont listen to rap so how do you know what actual rap is hmm? not defending wayne or anything for all i care that nigga can get fucked

[Bryan022MP]

@8thman420 Well,I don't need to listen to it to know the difference between the good hip hop and the not so good hip hop.

[8thman420]

@Bryan022MP check you busdriver you may like him alot....

[iceburg46]

@Bryan022MP not to down your opinion but if you dont listen to rap at all how would you know what "actual rap" is? lol

[dadaproletariat]

@iceburg46 haha well said, i hate people who say dumb shit like that

[jin54363]

@Bryan022MP

this is called rap, lil wayne music is called crap

[TheTertullian]

@Bryan022MP hmzzzz u dont know what ur saying lol.. u know when Monch made this Album?U are right about Lil wayne, doesn't matter which year he was in, BUT EM? naaaa u cant say that lol.

[MixtheHustlar]

@TheTertullian actually eminem can go eat a fat cock

[Bryan022MP]

@TheTertullian Does it matter when he made the album?Am I claiming knowledge on what year it was made?No,so that' irrevalant....and yes EM.....I just did...

[antifapunx]

@Bryan022MP that's cause this is hip hop, not rap.

"Rap is something you do!

Hip-Hop is something you live!" Krs-One

[jdterrell]

@Bryan022MP Hopefully this is just the beginning of your hip hop journey. There are a ton of great emcees out there. You'll have to do some digging to find them though, you'll never hear them on the radio.

[Bryan022MP]

@jdterrell Yes,it is.=) I know there's digging to do to find the good music that's out there,if you have any suggestions feel free to tell me,I'm all ears.Thanks.

[zencapopoca]

@Bryan022MP This is next level Hip Hop, it's out there. Welcome to the show. Peace

[zencapopoca]

@Bryan022MP This is next level Hip Hop, it's out there. Welcome to the show. Peace

[HipHop226]

@zencapopoca Pharoahe new album W.A.R just dropped today and is ill. 

[Kriptum]

@Bryan022MP absolutely agree with you ! ! ! To be honest first time I see someone like you who says; "I don't listen to rap at all" I don't like lil wane and other motherfuckers :D

[oldskoolorientated]

@Bryan022MP Welcome.

[Xxshibby360xX]

@Bryan022MP rap and hip hop is a huge genre. check out talib kweli, mos def. you would probably love lupe fiasco's the cool album if you like this

[Bryan022MP]

@Xxshibby360xX I know them and Lupe fiasco is alright. Thank you for the info thoe. (:

[bigshug102]

@Xxshibby360xX Dilated Peoples, and Slaughterhouse is good shit too

[Devok07]

@Bryan022MP this is real and true hip-hop you found there. This is underground stuff that doesn't have ties like normal radio streaming stuff. No one telling them to make a certain song so they can make more bank.

[The808Prophet]

@Bryan022MP look up monsta island czars - escape from moster isle

[wicked420ninja1]

[humza999]

fuck drake this is music

[Antyrarad]

from what album is that track?

[ichidaimo]

@Antyrarad desire

[kaoss0515]

i get God's Word directly from the Scriptures found in the King James Bible, the infallible & perfect Word of God. religion is a creation of man in an attempt to control God's power. i've learned that many so called christian denominations & groups built themselves from the bible, but none of them actually follow the bible. if people actually took time to read & pay attention to the bible these groups would be revealed as frauds & fall apart.

[allwittynamestaken]

@kaoss0515 "people who believe absurdities commit atrocities"- voltaire, this isn't the place to be preaching son.

[kaoss0515]

@allwittynamestaken whattup allwitty & respect. "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me"-Jesus Christ. you choose to speak from voltaire, i choose to speak from the Scriptures, aka The Word of God. the funny thing is that people also speak & accept atrocities rather than speak & accept the truth. if you wanna discuss it then get at me. but remember that the truth hurts, and the Holy Scriptures speak nothing but the truth. i'd b happy to politic with you on The Word Of God.

[allwittynamestaken]

@kaoss0515 sorry, I'm atheist. Theres no point in arguing something that can't be disproven. If I said I can fly theres nothing you can do or say to make it impossible, just more unlikely. If everyone accepted the earth as flat as the bible says it does, we both wouldn't be in the wonderful nation we're in. sorry, just trying to be real.

[kaoss0515]

@allwittynamestaken i hear you witty, but i can tell by your comment that you haven't really done research into the bible. the bible never said the earth is flat, but it does talk about the roundness of the earth. people are often misled when they don't take time to check out something for themselves. i'm still studying myself and the more i research, the more the truth comes out to me.

[allwittynamestaken]

@kaoss0515

Job 38:13

13 "That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"

Ecclesiastes 1:5

"The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises." (the sun revolves around the earth?

Psalm 104:5

"He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. "

[kaoss0515]

btw:nomnzind & ichidaimo-if you do ya research, you will see that God has nothing to do with religion. so-called religions only lead people away from truly knowing God. check the scriptures, aka the bible, Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Light, and the only way to God.

[ichidaimo]

@kaoss0515 yea i dont really believe in organized religion, i do a more personal system of belifs based off various texts, study and personal thought. i assume the same with you?

[kaoss0515]

@ichidaimo get God's Word directly from the Scriptures found in the King James Bible, the infallible & perfect Word of God. religion is a creation of man in an attempt to control God's power. i've learned that many so called christian denominations & groups built themselves from the bible, but none of them actually follow the bible. if people actually took time to read & pay attention to the bible these groups would be revealed as frauds & fall apart.

[kaoss0515]

this is definitely one of the most serious songs in the past decade. this album was easily album of the year but mainstream puppets snubbed it.

[KAVk16]

All I know is what I feel

Deceive my eyes and distort what's real

All truth will set you free

I rather die on my feet than delivery my knees
