Unknown Prophets - Against The Grain

[BubbaRhodes]

I love this stuff unlike mainstream garbage it actually has a message. Not about bitches clubs hoes 22 s or how much cooler they are than everyone else etc. Fuck mainstream rap. Makes you dumb just for listenin

[kaching1995]

[Gameday2159]

its a damn shame this isnt more popular.

[nickcould]

"we make cash from trash" now it's We make trash from crash

[illestDUBSTEP]

"See, I remember when hip hop was all about fun, peace, and love, instead of clubs, weed, and thugz. But nowadays if you talk about shiny rims and chicks, you're pretty much gauranteed that your records a hit. See, we could rap about poppin' guns and pimpin' the hoes, but in reality that's really not the life that we know. And I ain't gonna lie just to get our record to sell, we're trying to make a statement and if you don't like it oh well."

[derekloolander]

@illestDUBSTEP I really respect that comment bro. And its so true. Even when i try to write a rap i find myself talking about clubs & girls. but in my opinion, rap is like poetry with a beat, when have you ever heard a poem talking about hoes and bling? by the way i love underground hip hop its way better then the mainstream shit

[2Good4MyOwnGood]

this is my personal anthem

[tazmetaphor]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[nickisthebest100]

[decevioj]

GO C DECEVIO AND NEW WEST ORDER MUSIC ON YOUTUBE 2012

[AnonymousFilipino12]

Damm Pandora lead me to another amazing song

[8jaytee]

@AnonymousFilipino12 i know this is a stupid question but is pandora like the radio for underground music or something?

[Slanderous23]

@8jaytee Pandora is an online radio service that chooses the thing to play next based on your 'Likes'. It's quite good at it to, sometimes it gets a little skitzo though, lol

[capacorn6]

sick words man! but the beat aint really my taste.

[Chinchyhalo]

So chill yet so true.

Smoke to this to fully understand.

[0ddball64]

@Chinchyhalo man, you really don't have to smoke to it to understand.. see if you have a working mind and expressive thoughts it should be very clear..

[Chinchyhalo]

@0ddball64 "Understand" was a bad word to use. More like enjoy.

[0ddball64]

@Chinchyhalo well, if you had said 'enjoy' instead of 'understand' our conversation could have been avoided.. but if that's what you initially meant, that's cool.

[mistahmeaner]

I remember bumpin this shit back in the day. I picked it up used at Cheapo Uptown, lets just say 5 bucks well spent.

[1hebestthereiz1]

Anyone know were i can get that whistling sound that happens at 0:09 , 0:19 and throughout the rest of the song at other intervals? SICK SONG!!!!!!

[rpg727]

@1hebestthereiz1 fuck you bitch



[1hebestthereiz1]

@rpg727 Haha what id do? I want to use it and try and make a jam on 'aviary'

[rpg727]

@1hebestthereiz1 how is this song sick

[Jazzguitar00]

Will you people quit bringing up what you DON'T like? Why is it that everytime I come on here to listen to something I like, I have to hear about shit I hate? You aren't proving anything by showing how much you dislike mainstream. I don't like it either, that's why I don't let it into my conversations!

[corpse6cannibal]

FUCCCCIN SICK SHIT YO

much love to all the underground peeps hoo got heart

keep the movement goin man

the trues never die

`n0m4D~ 361cctx

[ATFireal]

im not about black and white shit but i like how alot of the best rappers are white haha

[reaperofgenocide]

@ATFireal why does it matter if they happen to be white?

[ATFireal]

@reaperofgenocide im just sayin that the stereotypical rapper is black but some of the best are white

[reaperofgenocide]

@ATFireal But some of the best are black too. Theres alot of great rappers of all types of ethnic background... its not the rappers race but about his ability to rap.

[ATFireal]

@reaperofgenocide yes i understand that, im just glad there are good white rappers to represent yknow

[DarkBlueGhoti]

This song is very true

[mrBlueScholars]

"See I remember when hip-hop was all about fun, peace, and love, instead of clubs weed and thugs.

Can I Kick it? - ATCQuest (!)

Take it EZ - Common

Self Expression - North West Metropolis (!)

Eye Know - De La Soul

Cheers

[evulmunnky]

check out classified

[jasonsheil]

@evulmunnky and 420thatoneguy

Thanks for the suggestions. I've also just discovered Diverse and Surreal. Went out and bought their albums, ill give your suggestions a listen.

[TheAndrewclark]

@jasonsheil dynospectrum, the roots, gang starr, b-real, living legends, atmosphere/slug, blockhead- instrumental stuff but real chill, aesop rock

[CobaltSS402]

@jasonsheil

kev brown, blue scholars, strange fruit project, people under the stairs.

[randyhandzor]

check some mirage  and then check him out when he with concepts jus put in mirage & concept they siick but after u check both there shit when there together jus check out mirage check rejuventaion first tell me how u like him pz bro if u like it i got a lot of other he was jus off the top f my head or become my friend and check my page all real hip hop

[arnejess]

@jasonsheil: try some Cunninlyguists, Talib Kweli, Blue Scholars, Pete Rock and I recommend the new Blu & Exile 'below the heavens' or of course the first the jazzmatazz from Guru.

I like Afu Ra's track Equality among others aswell :)

[southernCal909]

@arnejess....New blu and exile?? cd's been out for 3 years now.lol

[arnejess]

@southernCal909 was new to me ;)

[fuckdanwo]

theres one song called the deer hunter by jedi mind tricks

[ILoveSkating92]

This is true hip-hop! Underground hip-hop is where its at. It's sad that this won't reach the masses, but it also makes you feel privileged :)

I just found out about this group, but it's so good!

[DrummersRock23]

This IS hip hop, and I'm glad that it hasn't reached the masses because if it did it would just be another crappy over played song on the radio. That is the last thing I want to happen to this song.

[OldSchoolApprentice]

Yeah i feel more unique that i know these guys exist and others dont have a damn clue (:

[dalong52]

I remember seeing these dudes in Boulder with Whiskey Blanket a couple years ago, one of the dopest concerts I've been to. This is one of my favorite tracks, if not THE favorite, from The Road Less Travelled. Can't wait for Le System D.

[Nicosenn]

it makes me so angry that music like that, music with heart, music with soul, has no succes and the artist have to hustle to get something to fucking eat..and the dicksucking mainstream suckers getting flooded with money...damn unfair...

well keep your nice work up bros!

i wish u the best..

love from germany

[DJGibez]

Same here!

One Love

[gdogvibes1]

Nicosenn by there cd.

[Germ303]

@Nicosenn Word up G.

[southernCal909]

@Nicosenn... fuck that...Its funny how one line it went from the heart, then later said money money money,,,"Succes is psychological".

[420420420387]

@Nicosenn True music like that has the full meaning of success to the people who make, love, listen to, and understand the art form. Fuck gettin paid, we love to live to love life

[Nicosenn]

@420420420387 sure but its a lot of work behind all this..and somewhere you want to have a good living standart..and if you would deserve it but dont get it, its kind of frustraiting..ofcourse they dont do it in the first line for the cash ...

[dnb323]

@Nicosenn there good cuz there not mainstrem

[BigChance]

@Nicosenn sacrifice your soul for money, sacrifice your money for soul.

[BigChance]

@Nicosenn sacrifice your soul for money, sacrifice your money for soul.

[jaxdaman999]

@Nicosenn love from russia too

[OnkelDrizzey]

@Nicosenn ja digga so ist es verdammt nochmal real rap is never considered in this fucking mainstream szene but what can we do just fucking support such perfectly artist like UP, lightheaded.... and buy their music and not steal it in the web!!!!

[rupertshean]

@Nicosenn couldnt agree more

[MaryOners702]

Dang..

All I Can Say Is

Dope!

[bliz029]

[MiLLeRCHiLL100]

[bbell64591]

[ALLMIGHTYWU]

WTF AV I JUS STUMBLED ACROSSS fuk yeahhhhhhh lovin this vibe fanks

[Gr1Ng00]

that "bling" in the background .... is´nt that from zelda ? Oo ....

[JacoBluezz]

'Cause I refuse to be just another clone of the game

And make the choice of doing my thing, against the grain.

[novak1904]

dam i luv these lyrics

[LeDuckDuckGoose]

Ha i bet that long break is them smoking bowls and forgetting to stop recording lol

[sballer949]

their flow is amazin plus the lyrics

they are some of the best

[kanedingo]

i love the production on this album. probably the most under rated crew around. can not get hold of this anywhere in uk. not even amazon.

[Gozz6]

Ive got there album bro, ive uplloaded a few of there tracks too.

[Teenykim]

people people, weed is about tranquility* please stop the useless argument about this song..or rappers who rap about marijuana in general. it does say PARENTAL ADVISORY when kids wanna buy CD's containing inappropriate material for them. parents have to buy them those CD's. and its entirely up to them whether or not they want their children listening to shit like this or not. so this argument should really come to an end..we're here to listen to this song, not sit here and read u guys arguing*

[uobilo]

lol this instru remonds me a ¨flute tune¨ from Zelda Ocarina of time it was for the forest dungeon recall I think, anyway love it 5 stars :D

[Dirtbiker327]

one of my favorite songs, mans got skills

[arsh231]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song

[immortal3run]

see i remember when hip hop was all about

fun, peace and love,

instead of clubs, weed and thugs

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

weed is about peace, please educate yourself.

[immortal3run]

"please educate yourself" haha i found that kinda funny, and i know what weed is btw i hit that shit a few times

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

then please don't post bullshit

[immortal3run]

im the one posting bullshit on youtube? my previous comment on the other page has like 18 thumbs up bro. anyways, lets chill the fuk out i hate arguing online... peace

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

i can go to a 2pac video and say 2pac is the greatest of all time (BULLSHIT) and i'll assure you i'll be getting 20 thumbs up, now if if i say pac is overrated (realistic) i'll be getting 30 thumbs down. but its cool, just don't include weed as a factor of the decline of good hip-hop on the radio/tv.

[immortal3run]

i never said weed was bad. my point is we dont need famous rappers advertising drugs to children. and dont even fuckin try to disagree with me on this one. this conversations over.

[whatup1992]

It's their music, therefore their choice. We don't need people telling artists what to do. Children have the choice to listen to it or not just as the artist has the choice to decide how he writes his own music.

[immortal3run]

good point, i shall back down and agree with you on this one

[14ku2sh0]

@immortal3run me 2 man

[Nopacs]

@immortal3run

if you talk about shiny rims and chicks you are pretty much guaranteed your record is a hit

[Strictly4Underground]
