@BRelding92 i have nothing against weed, trust me. But from a song that explains the hundreds of years or war,combat,tactics,faith,honor, and skill.....all people get is "should i smoke weed".....thats pretty sad and pathetic. Once again i have nothing against weed, only against stupid people.
These brothers are the revolutionary sages of Hip-Hop. Like KRS and Rakim, Dead Prez are as Real as what they spit, it's called uncompromising truth, wise-minded Prophit vs profit? Pimp it, straight up! The system is man-made, so it's already exploitation. We gotta unshackle our brains: Stick Dead Prez, Rakim, or KRS on your dome, you've just increased your IQ by 70%.

Man weed got a unique working to every person. I smoke for 4 years every day. I got my High school done everything.I think weed got a bad influence because they are so wrong bout many statements that they made the last 60 years. Í'm a white guy and I totally get it where dead prez is heading weed let you think and gives you questions and the government is afraid that they don't know these answers.brainwash you in schools and make you ready to work the rest of your life for them and than you die.
I used to listen to this everyday before I went to Training. It's hard when you have so much anger and self doubt about certain aspects of your life, and when the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

Not only does it give a way to defend yourself but, thru meditation and sparring it allows you to know yourself.

All of the arts - painting, writing, music, dance, martial arts etc., - are just forms of self expression.

@drillahmon But wasnt that the greatest 7-8 years of your life?? I smoke weed too but i work i go to school i do my thing and smoke weed next to all that in the evening when i got nuttin to do! AND I FEEL FINE DUDE and when the weater is nice i smoke wit my people and get real high in de sun! so weed is NOT BAD its GOOD people! Move to holland and enjoy it LEGALLY:D
damn all you people aren't listen to the song. forget about your "weed" your nonsense!! listen to the message he is trying to say!! the love of something is bigger and greater then anything . . . Martial Art is all he is talking about! if any of you had any ounce of what he is saying you would understand!! its a deeper understanding and the love that no one can understand until you go through what DeadPrez is saying! OSU!!
@unevenfireball I agree with you 100% the message is far beyond "weed" the part about "the quiet meditations".. any individual involved in the slightest bit of martial arts and meditation would NEVER TOUCH WEED. Weed's nothing, true, but the effects are so subtle, people don't even realize. It slowly eats away at your body and mind. Your lack of motivation for most of the things in life comes from smoking weed. Most become happy by "just functioning"
These guys are saying, wake your ass up beyond "just functioning" in life.. and stop being robots to these corporate F**ks who are running the system and enslaving the human race! Its a very similar message in "Walk like a Warrior"...I meditate on a regular and have a brother who's a martial arts expert.. former weed smoker.. the change in your conscious and subconscious mind is out of this world when you actually stop smoking up..
@bmoregmg thats bullsht man.... weed has a different effect on everyone, depending on what you smoke, the person, the envirionment you live in etc. etc. very easy to say people who dont function with it are lightweight.... just because you are able to function while smoking... seen some of the strongest peops i know get fkin crazy of that shit so dont be ignorant and be happy you can smoke any day not fking yourself/stuff up... Pz
yeah its training music and all that...but it is deeper than that..the whole song is a huge in depth metaphor for life on the whole...thus the name WAY OF LIFE...simple really...
I heard them talking about RBG and banging out! Saying their down on running up on them "crackers" in their city hall!..... Just saying they sound pretty supportive of war but of one that is revolutionary mind you.
Shnazer1.. I was answering your question of what you asked "training for what?" This song is about training in Karate....Katas, Weapons, Ranks, discipline.... all those things are what you do in Martial Arts
I don't know nothing bout this shit, I know what the mans have tried to teach me and I am trying to learn about this shit by myself for myself. No other way to do it. I been slidin baad. Dead prez not only keeps it real, they have all the real people at heart. they know how it is when you're trying to do big things but the little shit keeps you down. Struggling out here to get a real education and get by on what your body needs not wants even though sometimes you aren't really up to snuff.
It has nothing to do with if pot, booze or anything else is good or bad, It is keeping your body clean while you are in training. Plus it's a bitch to train high...no concentration...you will get your ass kicked if you are sparring
Nah man it's all about knowing when to smoke. Weed is for relaxation and introspection, but not for focus. It's also not bad for strength training (it numbs you and allows you to push harder) if you can get yourself off your ass.
SO is the theory of "the big bang", the ideology of gravity, historical recollections are man made aswell as the belieifs in everything such as aliens. Because its man made, its not true?, if so everything you know is not true. Science is man made to, so whats your point?
goddamn weed is great when i smoke wee di do everything cuz without weed i do nothing its amazing fluid great high and get shit done yo like i come on to everything i do cuz of weed haaahh
BTW anyone looking up lyrics for this song just a f.y.i. at 0:38 he says kata not cars. Idk why some lyric sites said it was cars... since its just totally out of place in the song.
Thats whats up bro. Where i live i got ppl who are just blinded by the brief satisfaction it gives. Ppl dont even get philosophical any more on bud where i live. Dealers lace their shit, people get habitually addictive on it, they stay smoking not doing jack shit. Like its one thing to go out n shit but they stay home all day when they arent at school getting high or being cheap waiting for someone to light them up. I delt with quite a few cheap fucks. I would let them smoke when it was a clip.
anything can be addictive, weed can not be physically addicting like heroine can be, but it can be mentally addicting, i smoked weed for like 7-8 years, once i quit all that, i finished my high school, got my diploma, went to college, got a job in my field before i even graduated, now i make lots of money and im clean of everything. weed gets rid of your drive to do anything i think, once you're high, all your other problems dissappear,
@shnazer1 Weed doesn't make you lose brain cells. The lack of oxygen does but you can keep believing everything you're fed. I don't really give a fuck.
@drillahmon Not true, what age did you start? because if you were still in high school after smoking for 7-8 years then you must of started pretty young and that was where your problems would of begun. Like you said yourself its can be mentally addicting, in order to counter that you must have some sort of will power and a mental drive to succeed. I guess it just depends on the person smoking, its up to them to decide if they feel they can include it into their lives without it causing problems
@drillahmon weed is only an un-inhibitor, it will make you whatever you want. im always very productive when i smoke, i think much more clearly and faster while high. every1 reacts different.
That's some real talk bruv.. Weed just overloads your system with THC it makes you too high to wanna do anything, but that's why they allow us to grow it and sell it even though they lock our ass up when they catch us. They got their little system set to make money but people need to look deeper into the further uses of weed I.E. Hemp!! If you wanna get healthy, if you got health problems, don't use weed to get high, use it to strengthen your system, if we're truly RBG that's what we're about!!
@drillahmon fuck high school and college wat did u really learn, wit ur dick sucking field. ur a fat pussy if u loose ur drive to do anything i smoke weed everyday and still got "problems" wat ever the fuck ur definition of problem is. let people do wat ever the fuck they want get off there dick
@drillahmon I feel you on that. I also believe that everything effects everyone differently! I had boys that could blow trees all day and still get business handled, But me I had to get super high and thats all that mattered was gettin fucked up. I couldnt function and handle my business with weed in my system. Dont get me wrong I loved to get high it was a necessity to me, But I was handicapped on it. Like I said everyone is different! And if you can make moves and be high do ya thang for real!
Yep and making money can be addictive. How do you make lot's of money? In this world with hard and honest work you don't make lot's of money. That might be the biggest problem nowadays. After greed of course.
Mike phelps man mike phelps. Weed can only make a lazy person lazier. It has been proven that weed smokers can no only do anything but also dominate. It is all about the spirit.
@drillahmon u got 40 fucking apes supporting what you i say but my friend
i know 4000 fucking gorillaz who could tear you to pieces rethorically.
but i think i can put you out myself. rethorically. 1rst, plants are plants. been here first, done that first. first than any hominideum. u fall. 2nd, i know plenty of economically successfull individuals lawyers judges engineers who do drugs, worse than fucking ''pointless'' weed. 3rd, it doesnt end when you die. aha got you with your pants down
@tagdamoon you got one thing right youre just about as dumb as an ape, i seriously wish i didnt comment on this video ppl need to stfu i dont care about your philosophy on drugs, by all means go huff gas or smoke crystal meth im sure it will make you a better person
I smoke weed erry day and my drive to do things is better then when im sober so i really don't think you can say that since everyone experiences things differently some people can do drugs and not lose everything else in there life
@drillahmon gets rid of your drive to do anything? how about anything lame. maybe it affects people differently but weed is motivation for the people. if you have no goals you'll sit around just smoking weed but it helps with creating shit and if you're not doing shit don't blame the weed blame yourself
@drillahmon -i agree with u on a lot of points, but idk about the "drive to do anything" part, I've never done weed so i can't really talk, but for eg. Bob Marley did weed like his whole life, and he was one of the most motivated individuals ever, so it kinda depends.
not for everyone. marijuana allows you to do lose your drive if you take it too seriously or it becomes the only thing in your life. i smoke hash everyday and i am still a very driven person.
@drillahmon they may disapear but the drive in life dosnt if anything weed made me want it more the better life made me dream more and although i will never been a rockstar weed made me want to pursue music in a big way. The only time weed is a bad thing for me is when all the bad vibes everyone gives it build up and i start to feel guilty then i realize wtf is weed compared to alcohol at least im not sniffing shit everyday or drinking my self pickled. Those kinda things will fuck with ya head
If youre asking that question you shouldnt blaze. I use to be a hardcore tolker and i quit. I quit a few times and every time i quit i felt more better. Basically if youre gonna blaze be productive ex: music, art, philosophy, intellectual conversation... dont just hang out and do jack shit and indulge in superficial self pleasures such as play video games and not bettering yourself. Be spiritual and meditate and have FUN. You can have fun and be productive at the same time.
the way i look at is when i drink alcohol i act stupid, less intelligent, and say the first thing that comes to my mind. when i smoke weed i become more intelligent and think about what i have to say, plus it does make things all a little better. yet weed is looked at as worse by society yea you can be addicted to it, but its not nearly as bad as being addicted to most other substances. and the addiction isnt as bad. everyone reacts to weed differently. some worse than others. keep that in mind.
Weed is great if the person can use it responsibly. Trust me im well aware of how addictive other substances are and well aware about the individuals reaction to a specific drug may vary. But in my life i see alot of ppl who smoke weed and get habitually addicted to it with no intent to quit even though its no good. If you smoke it on a daily basis that can lead to the habitually addictive part because youre becoming dependent on that altered state of consciousness.
Theres many potheads out there that just smoke weed for the fun of it. Self pleasure without any proactive activity being done. I believe there are alot of ppl who are habitually addicted to weed. There are alot who arent but the ones who just use it irresponsibly and are dependent on it and suffer from withdrawal from it are the ones who are the ones who are very well possibly addicted. Of course you can stop smoking weed and its not as bad as other drugs definitely. But some ppl cant quit.
Well maybe. Dead prez is definitely more intellectual rap by far, compared to more mainstream music. Well im sure their are some of those ppl who listen to dead prez. But Atleast we aint those ppl lol.
That Is So True , Same Point Over Here Man , Also Know Some People That Just Smoke and Then They Aint Doing Shit , Just Self Pleasure without any proactive of Really Doing Some , And Yeah About Being Addicted ,, I Like 2 Smoke It , I Like The Taste Of Good Weed , Rolling It , Smoking It , Holding It , Just Doing It , But When I aint Got Haze , Thats What I Smoke , and i got Some Other Regular i dont Smoke the Regular Weed , Ive Had It Few Times ,Smoke Cause I Like It.
Yeah it depends how often you smoke cause you like it cause sometimes it can be so much that it interferes with daily life. Im not saying youre addicted or anything but im just saying thats how you can tell. BTW heres a suggestion. You probably ate "bud food" but w/e ill tell it to you.
Ok you get like a really fat dub of some greens. It'll probably work way better with some good stuff like haze n what not. If its any bud that is NOT laced and has alot of crystals and its enough bud then use it. Cook it in some butter but not too much butter just enough. And then make sure you you pour it through a strainer inside a cup of ramen noodles which is cooking itself and push down on the buds so the butter drips inside it but make sure not to get bud inside the cup.
I Aint That Great Chef , But Anyway I Like 2 Smoke More , But Dude , Great Explanation , U Should Make Em For Me , Anyway Weed Luv Bro , Peace , Im About 2 Eat Some Pizza
Its cool, you dont gotta be a cook man. One pot of boiling water and a pan over the boiling water with butter in it. Throw your crushed bud inside the butter. Pour boiling water inside the ramen and then after the bud butter is done pour the butter in the ramen and stir. And thats pretty much it. Its a way different high and a interesting one too. Id say you should try it out with greens first... and save a blunt to even add to it. But wait till it fully kicks in cause the high rises.
Then drink it and youll feel a good high. The last few sips are mad buttery so youll just have to take it lol. But for me it was a different high and probably more healthier. Try it with more than a dub of some good shit. And thats for one head. Then lets say you got 3 dimes slice alittle amount of butter. You dont want too much but make sure youre able to cook it good. Look up the recipe online because if you cook it wrong you can burn it.
i was "addicted" to weed and working at the same time and everything went well, i had no problems at all, wouldn't be the same with alcohol cos of all the hangovers etc.
Dont be like my friend whos addicted to bud. No body gimme shit about how bud isnt addictive. Anything can be addictive. Gambling can be addictive.. is money a drug? My friend smoked weed for like 5 years and he young. He'll tell you hes addicted and every day he thinks about quitting but he cant. Its HABITUALLY addictive. Dont be a slave to the daily illusion. Be a slave to mental and spiritual freedom. I have and i can honestly say its cheaper and more beneficial health wise and spiritually.
if i get to fight in the next competition in march ima have this as my walk in tune, they just go hand in hand really lol had to [pull out of this months because o perforated my eardrum was gutted!
dis is dope i never listened to them i heard of them for a long time jus never gave them a chance there fucking deep im really feelin them ima new fan
What particular art is practiced is not important. Stic man exhibited true understanding of martial arts. THE TRUTH! All martial arts are essentially the same!!! The strategies and tactics change. The goals change. The purpose of combat stays the same. 2 WIN! Some arts over history have concealed their purpose ( Sport, dance, or meditation arts) to allow practitioners to practice in secret. Bruce Lee said it the best..a punch is a punch..a kick is a kick! Never stop walking the journey.
Yes it's about Martial Arts! The last word of the song is Osu(pronounced "oos"), from the Japanese language. It's usually used in Karate as a sign of respect between students and teachers. Hence the last sentence : "The class "comradery"
The vows of humility, the bow, the courtesy. Osu!"
It's about Martial Arts living, and the choices we fce as warriors through time. This song applies to anyone on their grind, unifying body spirit and mind. It's universal for anyone that puts their heart under the blade, and survives. Peace to the universal family.
It's about JEET KUNE DO, specifically. If you don't believe me, read the Dead Prez Interview where they say that's what they train, and then read up on Wikipedia or anywhere else about what constitutes Jeet Kune Do, and you will clearly see beyond doubt that that's what this song is about.
i dont think its about JKD, since he mentions ranks and belts, which JKD has neither. i think this is more a martial arts song. about the dedication a martial artist has
hahha so true, im relatin to when he talkin about questions like 'should i smoke weed' then i look at these comments and its like the whole fuckin tune is about weed or sutin... btw whats the sample at the end?

@bmoregmg thats bullsht man.... weed has a different effect on everyone, depending on what you smoke, the person, the envirionment you live in etc. etc. very easy to say people who dont function with it are lightweight.... just because you are able to function while smoking... seen some of the strongest peops i know get fkin crazy of that shit so dont be ignorant and be happy you can smoke any day not fking yourself/stuff up...

Nah man it's all about knowing when to smoke. Weed is for relaxation and introspection, but not for focus. It's also not bad for strength training (it numbs you and allows you to push harder) if you can get yourself off your ass.

from what i knoe bud doesnt hve addictive qualities in it, its mental
i blazed for 7 years.
i agree with you tho reaper
i felt better & so did my pockets haha
i didnt blaze just to get high or to be 1 with the crowd
i blazed for the state of mind, it gave me another perspective on life & kind of more information about myself you knoe?
and basically when i gained what i could i was done with it
i dont regret smokin bud cause it really got started on the more philosophical and logical side of life
BodyboarDandSkatE 2 years ago 2
Thats whats up bro. Where i live i got ppl who are just blinded by the brief satisfaction it gives. Ppl dont even get philosophical any more on bud where i live. Dealers lace their shit, people get habitually addictive on it, they stay smoking not doing jack shit. Like its one thing to go out n shit but they stay home all day when they arent at school getting high or being cheap waiting for someone to light them up. I delt with quite a few cheap fucks. I would let them smoke when it was a clip.
reaperofgenocide 2 years ago
anything can be addictive, weed can not be physically addicting like heroine can be, but it can be mentally addicting, i smoked weed for like 7-8 years, once i quit all that, i finished my high school, got my diploma, went to college, got a job in my field before i even graduated, now i make lots of money and im clean of everything. weed gets rid of your drive to do anything i think, once you're high, all your other problems dissappear,

@drillahmon Not true, what age did you start? because if you were still in high school after smoking for 7-8 years then you must of started pretty young and that was where your problems would of begun. Like you said yourself its can be mentally addicting, in order to counter that you must have some sort of will power and a mental drive to succeed. I guess it just depends on the person smoking, its up to them to decide if they feel they can include it into their lives without it causing problems

That's some real talk bruv.. Weed just overloads your system with THC it makes you too high to wanna do anything, but that's why they allow us to grow it and sell it even though they lock our ass up when they catch us. They got their little system set to make money but people need to look deeper into the further uses of weed I.E. Hemp!! If you wanna get healthy, if you got health problems, don't use weed to get high, use it to strengthen your system, if we're truly RBG that's what we're about!!

If youre asking that question you shouldnt blaze. I use to be a hardcore tolker and i quit. I quit a few times and every time i quit i felt more better. Basically if youre gonna blaze be productive ex: music, art, philosophy, intellectual conversation... dont just hang out and do jack shit and indulge in superficial self pleasures such as play video games and not bettering yourself. Be spiritual and meditate and have FUN. You can have fun and be productive at the same time.
reaperofgenocide 2 years ago
the way i look at is when i drink alcohol i act stupid, less intelligent, and say the first thing that comes to my mind. when i smoke weed i become more intelligent and think about what i have to say, plus it does make things all a little better. yet weed is looked at as worse by society yea you can be addicted to it, but its not nearly as bad as being addicted to most other substances. and the addiction isnt as bad. everyone reacts to weed differently. some worse than others. keep that in mind.
caralinablue21 2 years ago
Weed is great if the person can use it responsibly. Trust me im well aware of how addictive other substances are and well aware about the individuals reaction to a specific drug may vary. But in my life i see alot of ppl who smoke weed and get habitually addicted to it with no intent to quit even though its no good. If you smoke it on a daily basis that can lead to the habitually addictive part because youre becoming dependent on that altered state of consciousness.
reaperofgenocide 2 years ago
Theres many potheads out there that just smoke weed for the fun of it. Self pleasure without any proactive activity being done. I believe there are alot of ppl who are habitually addicted to weed. There are alot who arent but the ones who just use it irresponsibly and are dependent on it and suffer from withdrawal from it are the ones who are the ones who are very well possibly addicted. Of course you can stop smoking weed and its not as bad as other drugs definitely. But some ppl cant quit.

Yeah it depends how often you smoke cause you like it cause sometimes it can be so much that it interferes with daily life. Im not saying youre addicted or anything but im just saying thats how you can tell. BTW heres a suggestion. You probably ate "bud food" but w/e ill tell it to you.

dannydsd 2 years ago
Ok you get like a really fat dub of some greens. It'll probably work way better with some good stuff like haze n what not. If its any bud that is NOT laced and has alot of crystals and its enough bud then use it. Cook it in some butter but not too much butter just enough. And then make sure you you pour it through a strainer inside a cup of ramen noodles which is cooking itself and push down on the buds so the butter drips inside it but make sure not to get bud inside the cup.

Its cool, you dont gotta be a cook man. One pot of boiling water and a pan over the boiling water with butter in it. Throw your crushed bud inside the butter. Pour boiling water inside the ramen and then after the bud butter is done pour the butter in the ramen and stir. And thats pretty much it. Its a way different high and a interesting one too. Id say you should try it out with greens first... and save a blunt to even add to it. But wait till it fully kicks in cause the high rises.
reaperofgenocide 2 years ago
Then drink it and youll feel a good high. The last few sips are mad buttery so youll just have to take it lol. But for me it was a different high and probably more healthier. Try it with more than a dub of some good shit. And thats for one head. Then lets say you got 3 dimes slice alittle amount of butter. You dont want too much but make sure youre able to cook it good. Look up the recipe online because if you cook it wrong you can burn it.

What particular art is practiced is not important. Stic man exhibited true understanding of martial arts. THE TRUTH! All martial arts are essentially the same!!! The strategies and tactics change. The goals change. The purpose of combat stays the same. 2 WIN! Some arts over history have concealed their purpose ( Sport, dance, or meditation arts) to allow practitioners to practice in secret. Bruce Lee said it the best..a punch is a punch..a kick is a kick! Never stop walking the journey.

Yes it's about Martial Arts! The last word of the song is Osu(pronounced "oos"), from the Japanese language. It's usually used in Karate as a sign of respect between students and teachers. Hence the last sentence : "The class "comradery"
