Criminally underheard/underrated, this man is a straight-up genius -- his creativity and originality make him one of the handful of vital artists working in hiphop today, along with Kanye, The Roots, and fellow Canadians K'naan and Shad -- and head and shoulders above most of the better known crop (crap?)...
you think about yourself and keep your walls up and have fun with friends and not get involved with someone (VAIN) or you go into a relationship and you will get hurt beyond your wildest dreams....ive been through that many times and it hurts so much! if we dont let people in were considered ass holes or shallow or players, shit like that. but i mean NICE GUYS NEVER GET GIRLS, AND WE ALWAYS GET HURT MORE...
K-OS is in another class from everyone else. Majority are just rappers and want to be hard. This man is about art and expressing one's self. Only if the world would open their minds and listen than our youth could be uplifted from the junk that is played incessantly on the radio.
@cyrusjerome all it takes is one individual to change the game. Aslong as you keep it real and stay intelligent than the kids today can see that it is "cool" to be smart and understand the world around them and aspire for more than drugs, guns and sex. That person can be you, just belive in yourself and the others will begin to see what you do.
Maybe he's trying to say that listeners are all too much in a dream state with their music. After all, most of the time when people listen to music now (especially hip hop!!!) it's merely for the beat and flow but never for the content. Thank goodness K-OS is here to spearhead the revolution...mind revolution
i think this video shows him trying to reach people who are aliens to his sound.. when he preforms hes trying to get people to move to his music...but its hard due to modern day music making his music seem "diffrent" when he dives off the stage no one was there to catch him lol. he wakes up and realizes it was a dream like a kids dream if he wanted to be a rockstar
This IS hip-hop, just the good shit, not what they play on the radio (I.E: Soulja Boy Tell 'Em or Lil Wayne). This is old-school hip-hop with a new twist. This particular song is a bit different from most of his material, but it's still hip-hop. If you're looking for something more relatable by k-os, you may want to try I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman(starts strangely, but gets into a great song) or Man I Used to Be.
that's what Emcee Murdah was responding to ForeverUnder20. Theres no real Emcees anymore. but actually, to be honest, all the good ones are from CANADA!!!! WOOT YEA BABY!! CANADA ROCK ON!
Most Intelligent and creative hip hop artist out their in my opinion. Listening to 50 Cent, Kanye and Jay-Z, Lil' wayne and the rest of them is like ordering from a fast food restaurant were everything tastes the same.
@kabalahmaj Yeah He's up there, but Missy Elliot is the most creative hip hop artist out there. if you haven't watched one here videos i think you should
@Shakenbakess I l0ove missy! She is awesome!!! I still take K-OS over Missy cause he is my fellow Canadian homie and you gotta support the hometown talent.
@kabalahmaj "yeah" creative,because he can play an instrument...
It's very refreshing to see a wrapper/Hip hoper,do an indie Bloc Party the Roots kinda track.Did'nt see this one coming.. I hope they continue this trend,and not be another Black Eyed Peas.. Go K-OS..
@Adrianomedelano Yeah, Jay-Z did have a few good songs back in the day. But these days, it's all the same. At least K-Os has stayed consistently good! Jay-Z DOES sound like everyone else these days. And 50 Cent has always been crap. You motherfucker (because name-calling is necessary, apparently.)
@TheBryKo Haha that was lame from my side to write motherfucker on a youtube-comment but anyway, have you listen to 50's old song like Ghetto qua'ran and Slow doe for example?
@kabalahmaj I can't believe you put Kanye in there.....K-os is unique and great don't get me wrong i love him but Kanye is on a different level to everyone else.
k-os has good music, good lyrics, a good attitude, a good style, and not bad looks either. and yes, i know how old he is. *smirks* whats bad about him?! :D
he's like a good will i am
