It's sad that people nowadays rather listen to shitty ass Shuffling music and Auto-Tune musics like Kesha, Lil Wayne or other Bullshit musicians of today. This should be our Mainstream music not most of the crap we hear on the radio today.
@xbluemystx8686 Well what they are talking about is against what was shown in the video. VEVO took the captions/subtitles away, so look up the subtitles, and then you'll know what the video is trying to say.
Everytime i wake up, walking to school or work, and im listening to the roots (thats means most of the time im listening music) Im always worried these guys might lose their motivation because of their lack of views and credit. I hope they wont. Just glad i dont have to listen to those sold out souls.

@Shepton1904 this video is actually a parody of ur stereotypical rap video, the original had subtitles to portray their message, check out their original to understand what they're on about
@Shepton1904 Dude its not your typical rap video for numerous reasons. For one they totally rip the shit out of main stream rap artist and the way they act like in the videos. 2) when was the last time you heard a rap song use Bass guitars, Electric Pianos, and Drum riffs. I mean i could go on and on. Vevo fucked up the video by taking the subtitles out of it. but im sending you a link so you can see how the root originally wanted it.
@ff7legend Seriously. Removing the subtitles changes to whole purpose of this video. Would the Roots really want to be associated with this in a non-tongue-in-cheek manner?
@misslboogie01 nah, without the subtitles you can still see what it's supposed to be by their facial expression and especially the girl at the end getting an ass cramp. It's more subtle this way and I like it.
@lostinforest88 and by actually listening to the lyrics. however this is hard for some people as they have become accustomed to hearing repetitive bullshit about money pussy & the occasional love song, that an intelligent verse doesn't compute.
Music? seems to be lacking a lot nowadays in creativity and originality. There are few leaders and many followers asking/begging for views, likes, subscriptions, and thumbs up. My thing is I STAY TRUU, if you are a person that STAY TRUU also then you'll know what to do with this. The music speaks for itself: /watch?v=-nVYSI5GdCg
"I get paid when the record is played... to put it short I want it made like Ed.... Nuff Said!" The game lacks heavy lyrics like these. Damn I miss Hip Hop : (
Malik B from The Roots should be on the The Undun album. The Undun concept sounds like it comes from his mix tape called Street Assault. Also he had a concept single called "Mob Ties". I think it's on Itunes.
vevo and youtube censors and removes the subtitles of this classic ultra melodic hip hop masterpiece,however,when you type ''what the'' on the search bar,''what the hell - avril lavigne'' appears.if vevo and youtube doesnt know,''hell'' IS A GODDAMN SWEAR WORD!
THE CONCLUSION: The extremelly large amounts of stupidity between youtube and vevo.Screw you assholes! (oh yeah,i swore!censor me if ya can!!!)
@disQc Yeah it did sorry, you can check it out on dailymotion. what i did was use "download helper" on firefox and downloaded the video off the dailymotion site
@AlizeCiz So, you chose this video, only to criticize it? What, in your opinion, makes good hip hop? The beat alone? If that's the case, I've made good hip hop on my Playstation. Subject matter counts. Sorry if I'm wrong, but I assume that you're probably only in your early 20's. Unfortunately, I'm nearly 40, but I've had the opportunity to grow up along with hip hop. I like a lot of current hip hop, but I still value intelligent lyrics & beats together over beats alone.
@AlizeCiz Boring and wack? Seriously? The song addresses the stereotypical view by the majority of hip hop artists that their songs, videos and lifestyles have to reflect nothing but greed, sex and partying. The video is a satire on those types of videos. The Roots had it right in 1996 and the lyrics and video of this song still apply to most hip hop artists and videos today. It's interesting how the truth is timeless, don't you think?
@AlizeCiz Boring would be determined by the reason you listen to hip hop.This is laid back riding on a thinking level.Hip hop is all moodsYou might just listen to it to get excited, and that's cool.might think Waka Flocka is exciting,but he'd rather listen to laid back music,he likes music that makes him think.Gucci Mane said Talib Kweli is one of his favorite artists,but his friends didn't understand why.Very few people who are really into music are one-styled,sad to see you are one of em'.
@MrYoubtubin thats harsh how you used the words 'hip-hop' and 'gucci mane' in the same sentence. That IS NOT hip-hop. You want hip-hop? Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Murs, Eyedea, Jedi Mind Tricks, Blueprint etc.
P.S this is my first time listening to The Roots, and it's so chill, im diggin it.

This is more than stupid, this is done deliberately. VEVO, you motherfuckers, have taken the message entirely out of the music to portray the Roots as what they're mocking in this clip.
@TH3N3XTKB24 The video was intented to make fun of the rap game using stereotypical rap video scenes, but since vevo took the subtitiles out, it makes it seem like they're just another rap group with women, cars, and violence etc.
@TH3N3XTKB24 Well the original video had subtitles explaining the true meaning of the music. As you can tell, the video looks like a typical, stereotypical rap music video (naked women, drinking, partying, violence, etc.). The meaning of the song is that they're sort of making fun of the rap game, because of all the idiotic things that many of these new rappers do, as shown in the video. VEVO took the subtitles out and now it just looks like a song with no meaning when it really isn't.
@etk1995 This song actually came out in 96 so it's more like making fun of Death Row/Bad Boy records, Jay-z, Nas, etc rather than the new rappers. Other than that, everything else is 100% true.

Just saw the original vid on Dailymotion(w/th subtitles)! im from S.A. and I always wondered why the (black) ppl from the states are potrayed as Artists n Atletes only, im sure there is plenty intellects, thanx to VEVO we will keep blving our brothers can only rap n shoot hoop..... fuck you VEVO
The SUBTITLES gave SARCASM and FOOD FOR THOUGHT to the stereotypical, sellout moves in hip-hop music videos. Without captions, it looks like a stereotypical video was made on purpose. smh Ha!...Whoever removed the subtitles, wanted to eliminate the message, WE know what's up. Nice try.
@TheGlobalMisfit what makes it even funnier is the fact that they still have to admit they took out the subtitles for legal reasons, so everyone's gonna know they edited it and then find out the game they're playing when they know what the subtitles say. rediculous they do it even when its so easy to catch them in the act
incredible vevo. just incredible. this makes the roots look horrible AND you're trying to save lil waynes lame ass. if every single person in the world that listens to "rap" saw the ORIGINAL video. (even the 2 mil. people who seen this video) a lot of mainstream artists would lose a lot of money. i didnt mind vevo much before...but now, FUCK you vevo. fuck you.
it sucks that the subtitles aren't there but if you know The Roots for what they really are - soulful and real - You wouldn't read this video the way vevo wants you too. Plus listen to the lyrics
@ladyniceness there are supposed to be subtitles and listen to the lyrics. Plus have you ever seen a girl cramp up while grinding in a music video - not exactly sexy :P
@ladyniceness if you look towards the end of the vid you would see that the girl shakin her ass get pulled off(cus it fake) and then they reject the champegne and go for the 40s. its just their way of saying fuck you to the big label mainstreme fucks
this is essentially propaganda as vevo is not allowing the true meaning of this video to be shown and instead making it seem as if this song is advocating fake rap and booty shaking. vevo is an oppressor and has intentionally silenced the truth!!!!
I ain't trying to spam, but I have an amateur online radio station and I play only real Hip Hop. You can check it out if you like and support the real: rebelmusic . listen2myradio . com
You know, it's kind of funny how the song advocates true hip hop when there isn't a scene in the first verse that doesn't have a half-naked woman shaking her bottom.
@jmarrvin Well if you see what everyones complaining about, it's that the subtitles are missing. Incase you haven't seen this vid with the subtitles, they were used to highlight that this video is a spoof made to mock the typical mainstream hip hop video of the day. And no i don't blame you for your ignorance, rather VEVO for taking out the FUCKING SUBTITLES!
Hey everyone...those who love God "Thumbs up" or check out my channel & leave a positive comment about God...it's time to give God some praise...Thanks God Bless
What the hell? I was all queued up to show my buddy the deconstruction of the average rap video this clip did, and there's no captions. The entire point of it is gone. You CAN'T show the video without the captions. It's like giving somebody a car without the wheels. Are the members of The Roots happy with this? I can't imagine they are
whats even sadder is i jump on here to hear real hip hop and i see punk ass lil wayne on the left

swaggdude94 1 month ago
@TH3N3XTKB24 Well the original video had subtitles explaining the true meaning of the music. As you can tell, the video looks like a typical, stereotypical rap music video (naked women, drinking, partying, violence, etc.). The meaning of the song is that they're sort of making fun of the rap game, because of all the idiotic things that many of these new rappers do, as shown in the video. VEVO took the subtitles out and now it just looks like a song with no meaning when it really isn't.

@etk1995 This song actually came out in 96 so it's more like making fun of Death Row/Bad Boy records, Jay-z, Nas, etc rather than the new rappers. Other than that, everything else is 100% true.

The SUBTITLES gave SARCASM and FOOD FOR THOUGHT to the stereotypical, sellout moves in hip-hop music videos. Without captions, it looks like a stereotypical video was made on purpose. smh Ha!...Whoever removed the subtitles, wanted to eliminate the message, WE know what's up. Nice try.

@TheGlobalMisfit what makes it even funnier is the fact that they still have to admit they took out the subtitles for legal reasons, so everyone's gonna know they edited it and then find out the game they're playing when they know what the subtitles say. rediculous they do it even when its so easy to catch them in the act

this is essentially propaganda as vevo is not allowing the true meaning of this video to be shown and instead making it seem as if this song is advocating fake rap and booty shaking. vevo is an oppressor and has intentionally silenced the truth!!!!

And no i don't blame you for your ignorance, rather VEVO for taking out the FUCKING SUBTITLES!
