[soyfity]

[kvirgo07]

[mattsexualgopher]

it looks like the first 8 wonders are jealous

[xxsane417xx]

The loop is from a group from my hometown called 'Mandrill'. Brooklyn stand up.

[DonXpo838Mob]

@Extreme No song is ever to much for a hook too throw in just be creative about it

[EXTREMEproductions1]

do u guys consider this beat to have a hook?

[MrLoSo93]

"7 People Don't know The real music . "

[YUNGONNA1]

Why doesn't this have a million views!

[stunt2stun]

@MrBlackAl, Sickness!!

[metalgear193]

hey guys my youtube account is frozen please check my channel andview my featured youtube vid of she will remix thanks....thanks for this instrumental badass track!!

[darkeclipse420]

god damn i come to find one song and i ended up findin nintenty nine

[RealisticChique]

how can anyone dislike this?!

[Addiskrilla]

The song is absolutely beautiful but also

One of those very depressing songs. Sometimes it makes me cry

[ryeryeRAB]

@Addiskrilla its both! a happy and sad ( ) to whatever you're thinking..

[jelloman17]

@Addiskrilla

Did you hear his 2nd childhood remix instrumental. my goodness, it gets me everytime. I am just struck with the beauty and soul of the song...

[SMCandLS]

check out my song over this beat in the video response

download my mixtape: theverbalist.bandcamp.com

[Addiskrilla]

I'm 18 I KNOW the original came out two

Decades before me but somehow....strangely it reminds me of the times I spent with my granddaddy when I

Was 10, back when he used to live in

Columbia, south carolina

[TheGreatAvocado]

casey veggies brought me here =)

[Fatal4044]

Check out F.A.M.'s track to this instead of reading these guys lyrics posted as comments, it's easier and most likely more enjoyable

[TopFlight192]

One of my fav producers... DOPE!!! . I spit over a couple of 9th wonder's beats. Check me out!!! keep supporting good music fam.

~TopFlight

[MrBlackAl]

You see I spit it with out cause or reason - without clause depletion it's just cause im teachin you what cards im squeezin, it's so hard im breathing thru thin bars, im leanin on a reason to just show them my cause, without reason..it's cause there's no meaning in life, just sole treason in sight, my soul demons, delight, my soul leaning on light..but see darkness thru whatever feelings that i spark stay unparked its true, thru the darkest hues my souls, seen the darkest hues..

[dramarocksx3]

"The Sun is in the Sky but I refuse to Smile , Still darkness Lingers in my Mind."

[rioshinx]

this is the most upbeat depression song ever :P

"the sun is in the sky but i refuse to smile, but still darkness lingers in my mind"

[damaged702401]

Where can I get this as a ringtone? Favorite 9th beat for sure.

[jazzyfaye81]

@damaged702401 I believe you can get it on mixer..if it doesn't come up as 9th, try Wale ft. Memphis Bleek-The Sun and you should be able to find it

[MrOHRA92]

the sun is in the sky but i refuse to smile and in my shoes if you could walk a mile you would know why maybe its because everyone claims to be so fly and all of a sudden it seems like everyone gets high cuz their all falling for the same lie from the guy in the suit and a tie thats why i keep it so real cuz everyone else is living a lie

[TheRonyagsaile]

If you like 9th, check out my beats, specifically one i just uploaded called "All Soul'd Out" where I dropped a sounbite of a 9th interview at the beginning to show my love for him as he is my greatest influence. I'm a 17 year old hip hop/soul producer from the Pacific Northwest, hope you like my beats!

[iPromoteDopeMusic]

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines

[MortenTheMartian]

Is this on a 9th wonder release? And which one?

[jazzyfaye81]

@MortenTheMartian Its on Wale's Back To The Future mixtape

[quagmire4561]

this is a mean one !! love it !!

[babycrazy413]

this beat awakes good music

[Pirate7X]

@gangstagrillz99 "I Refuse To Smile" by Mandrill. I believe it's on the "Mandrill Is" album.

Bless your self and get that album and all their work, you won't regret it. Respect 9th for hooking the beat up and great taste in music.

[Surgus2010]

DL link?

[lovebeingamum40]

I'm not an expert at all...just someone who loves and appreciates what she hears in good music. In addition to great beats...this young man seems to have an ear for the most beautiful MELODIES in his music..and he has such an appreciation for the music of my generation(the 70's)...as far as I'm concerned, he can sample the heck out of that era(Billy Paul, Minnie Riperton, etc.)..it's alright with me...he's just a BREATH OF FRESH AIR...PERIOD.

[lovebeingamum40]

....This is So beautiful......my goodness...: -)

[elchillipicante]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE FCK THE WORD "HOMO" AND HOW IT IS/ISNT HOMO EVEN ON A 9TH WONDER MUSIC VIDEO... LAME ASS CATS

[WuTangBoston]

put Blu on this track....awww shittttt

[halobthename]

Unfortunate the fathoms of the youtube commenter, they mad self centered. im mad that I said mad and im Bay centered. The sun stabs at my eye like a light splinter, early morning when im dashing to BART, play the part of citizen, never dat. im black on a pilgrimage, imagine that? i like to listen to the scat pitter pat of the rain while im riding on the train, why is that significant? cause it speaks to the fact that i grew up as a semi-super-different kid! YEE! BOW BOW!

[LaidbackPlayboy]

Sayin' 'No homo' is corny. Real niggas say 'Pause'. lol...

[illmatic506]

@LaidbackPlayboy Real ni**as say whatever they damn please. lol...

[franchise11]

@LaidbackPlayboy Hah until people find something else to say next month, and pause ends up being dumb to say.

[a11star2003]

everyone says no homo, so go fuck a goat.

[1959grizzly]

Mandrill is the bomb... Check out nas using the Wilson Brothers' "love song" on his track: u gotta love it

[freedomland11]

This is for the youtube readers...

Follow along eleven letters written now here comes 9th wonder to dapple along floating above every cloud cant even grasp it in a song/ the words I say stick with you like a kleenex tissue dismissing like a teacher but saying thy words like a preacher that even your own mother is eager sort of like living in the 50's waiting for another episode of "leave it to beaver" I'm saying leave her and once again go ahead and greet her =)

[aladdinhoBEST]

its wen the sun is in the sky that we must realize this eternal worldwide lament is breaking the human fam apart, the bliss for the supreme cause, i wont pause at all, i cant stop the rain but ill nourish ur brain, too much pain these emotions i cant sustain all for the better purpose not fame, a smile on a neglected child's face will fersure make my day, so as i go through my composition of pages i try to make way and grab my pen, my veins a pathway to the melancholy thoughts raging in my head

[freedomland11]

@walterisbell718 J-cole?? so he can fuck it up...Are u kidding me??? this shit needs A real MC

[realhiphopnation25]

@freedomland11 J. Cole so he can fuck it up? are you stupid? J. Cole would be nice on the beat. He is a real MC. Just because he got signed to a mainstream label don't mean shit. Dude is nice. Give the man his props.

[freedomland11]

@realhiphopnation25 I am giving J-Cole his props, he is ill, but this needs a real lyrical MC. I have noticed that J-Cole uses that word "Nigga" like 5 times in ALOT of his songs. Im not saying he wont be dope all i'm saying is that he needs to improve and this beat is for MC's who knows how to really knock it outta da park.

[Fatmanunk]

The sun is in my eyes So I guess I gotta wear shades And the ladies in the shade Always smile and wave Too bad sorrow always ruin such a beautiful day Momma crying cause her baby’s done passed away Damn its sad to say That he’s niggas know who did it But they’ll never tell Hell naw no way Only to leave another mother to weep On a day like this The sun is in my eyes So I guess I gotta wear shades Make them Rose colored To melt this uneasy mellowness Away

[JackPlatinum]

Damn.....Crazy ass beat dude...like damn...rocks head



[voltaicthing]

yeaaa so nice i'm sitin wiv mah girl in the garden an we enjoyin dat sweet sunspotzzzz

[Nightmare7415]

Lord, help us understand that we cant make it going against eachother. I put my pride aside to say this prayer for my people. Love has left their hearts and darkness is the make up that they wear on their faces. Help us love one another more, becuz we really dont hate eachother, but it's the devil who's puttin in overtime. Forgive us Father in Jesus Name...Amen.

[MajikRockwell]

this shit is dope, but its the same dam snare that he always usess..

[hasanbangz]

@MajikRockwell lol thats 9th's style you'll never hear that snare from anybody else and say thats not 9th snare u kno.even though he uses it alot, the bassline and other instruments make up for it

[freddyfingerr]

[quickEJay]

9th is a beast, do yall hear how the kick's velocity is changing as the basslines moves!!

[WESTSIDEofGARY219]

This beat is sick!!! I love the sample.

[bigavraham]

[parallelperspectives]

i try to be as open minded as possible, but i'm sooooo tired of hearing old soul and motown vocal samples in all the beats nowadays. However i gotta say 9th wonder is one of the most creative artists with them... Just guess there's hella biting going on

[kingdom316]

[SersonPerson]

mercapri302, thanks for referencing the original sample. i'm a dude who likes that, i make whack beats but it's always just fun to cut up samples.

i sometimes think of hip-hop as the recycle bin. instead of music going to the garbage, we bring it back to life.

[mercapri302]

I know this was already posted, but just to bump...

Original sample: Mandrill - "I Refuse to Smile"

Listen to the original. It will make you appreciate 9th's skills even more, and the Mandrill song is good in its own right... especially after you've heard the beat 100 times! This is why 9th is a genius.

[DEEPUNDERGROUND2]

Still so many Fake Hip Hop HeadZz out there! Everybody who says 9th Wonder is just alright thats all.....is Stupid and has no good taste in Hip Hop!

9th Wonder is Classic he is KING!

[NextAI95]

[MowJoezBeetz]

[jasonlennox]

The sun is in the sky but that dont take away the pain/ Yeah its another day but that dont take away the strain/ I walk outside thats when i feel the most hate/ Just cus im doin me an most cant even relate/ my mind-state...is in a bad state/ cus my mind wonders off an i have to relocate/ cus the demons always comin with the fresh bait/ an i aint tryna vaca no where upstate/

[b1gkris09]

caMRON == CREATER OF NO HOMO... PERIOD.

[gamekiller32]

@b1gkris09 hes not the creator off it he just the only famous person that uses it fuccin dumbass

[OmegatheBeast]

wow...one of the tuffest EVER!!!

[Tre325]

this was used on Back to the Feature

[boxerschorts]

cool

[jaxbull234]

9th Wonder sampled this from Mandrill-I Refuse To Smile.

Excellent sample. Its located in the "1mc podcast :land mine" (first one) when you search for the song.

[GANGSTDADON]

:P no homo but i love his instrumentals!

[thatsthatgoodshit]

how exactly would loving his instrumentals make u a homo ?

btw 9th is nice

[loopa]

GANGSTDADON there aint nothin homo about that..its all good. but excellent beat, one of my favorites!

[sponserdsk8ter]

'no homo"???

go say that on a lil wayne video or something,,,,

its crazy how lil wayne made every commercial rap fan a homophobic.

[GANGSTDADON]

lol lil wayne didnt start *no homo* it was cam'ron!!

and im sayin *no homo*....not 4 bein gay!! but sum ppl out there wana take what you say the wrong way....like u have now!!

but thanx 4 takin time out 2 leave me a comment :)

[azaproc]

dipset get yer facts straight

[sponserdsk8ter]

i know dipset made it u,,,,,but no one used it until lil wayne start saying it.

[jaydarenegade]

Lil wayne fuck wayne the ugly swagger jackin fag didnt start "No homo" it was dipset's cam'ron

[Stoh13]

@sponserdsk8ter Lil wayne didnt start people being homophobic, its just not street to be gay. No shame im a Homophobe myself, fucking gay guys scare the shit out of me and make me extremely uncomfortable. Lil wayne had no influence on that, in fact he is helping "the gays" come out easier with those tight pants he wears.

[sponserdsk8ter]

@Stoh13 wat's so scary about a gay guy? just to let you know, gay guys don't hit on every guy they see. that's a dumb ass stereotype. how can you say you hate a gay person when you probably haven't really hung out with one for more than a few minutes.

[Stoh13]

@sponserdsk8ter They dont hit on all guys your right, but they hit on me and its not fucking cool, i feel like hurling. And some of my friends friends are gay, its just not right to see Men act feminine

[sponserdsk8ter]

@Stoh13 well that's your opinion, but just don't start judging gay guys because things that happened in the past. There are many gay guys that are chill as fuck. when i talk to gay dudes i kinda just imagine that they like girls and it makes me realize that they're no different from us straight guys. i mean, they can't control what makes their dick hard right lol. ;-)

[kedrick06]

@GANGSTDADON - you're fucking retarded

[pimpin4ever305]

hip-hop forever

[Trello]

absolutley amazing

[MarcAngeloBeatz]

one of my favorite 9th wonder beats right here

[sugarcanedavis]

true hip hop.

[doublephantom2]

the son is blazin sizzlin scortchin torchin flamin but im still cold as the ice i rock, no guns i dont pop, but its brains, this flow will fuck up ur whole mainframe, im underground but my money so mainstream, this is the dream tht im still chasing, this hip-hop game i am shaping, im gettin so much brain my IQ is raising, now im in dazing, off in the sky, yup im mad fly so the clouds right next 2 me, the suns blaze has been robbed nd i think my skull is the cage, blood in my eyes now ima rage

[sneaktip97]

wale and memphis bleek killed this!!!

[jonniethekid]

the sun is in the sky i can chill and watch the clouds drift by catchin 9th wonder airwaves fly "do do do do do..." hummin it till the day i die walk wit a swag walk wit a beat under that san diego heat palms trees sway under my feet blowin weed smoke just tryna ease my mind and tame my soul as it leaves my body stole tryna formulate all these riddles and puns for all formulas equalize under the sun

[Lutah79]

Multiple-mood instrumental, works of a genius... Thankful for the post, bless.......

[MaGz187]

I can't find the sample anywhere smh

[crhymes104]

i think its the fifth dimension correct me if im wrong

[jaxbull234]

the sample is Mandrill-Refuse To Smile.

Very rare track

[bongwatertastey]

Pressure, some things that most easily comprehend

Delehma, is something people have from within

In and outside forces come from hell to take hold my sins

Delhema's come from both sides to bring all things to an end

No one cares about what you say with a pen

Walking through the heat like it was water from their sins

Makes the atmosphere heavy, makes the air heavy

I start to get wavy when the delhema comes from pure experiance

Touche i say, and then blow with the wind

Here i go again...
