@beannote Nah, will.i.am already had a deal when this guy was just starting up in canada. Eazy-E signed ATBAN in '92, Ruthless Records. If you don't know who ATBAN is, or was, check them out

[salsulsad]

that's what i'm talkin about the real hip hop 

[neotri45]

"Whatever you think it's all old, get it?"

What does that lyric mean?

[77musica]

This was the era when HIP HOP,real heads used to move and dance, now, fat fucks only shake their arms.

[jamekididdleshmiddle]

HOLD THE DANK, i don't burn...

[kidchimonk]

[jaesun1]

NO BENZ NO LAMBO JUST GREAT DANCING AND GREAT RHYMES I LOVE THIS SHIT ...BK JAY SAID IT

[forevershining76]

K-OS is still canadas best artist. Hands Down.

[JHEis2tooRElentless]

Now why they use to play this on BET uncut?

[internetfan2005]

lets not completely hate on B.o.B. I jam his stuff, but you can't deny that this is the kind of hip hop we are missing. I miss when BET actually played this kind of stuff!

[birdmanjrd2]

lets not pretend that Hip Hop isnt back and in full effect, dont forget about Lupe Fiasco, B.O.B., and the others

I remember playing this in HS every day in my graphic design class, my teacher hated for so long, but he got over it.... then we all noticed him bobbin his head to the beat, and I called him out infront of the class, Epic moment

[tonyblaze172]

@birdmanjrd2 B.O.B. Are you being serious right now? Yo this is Hip Hop right here and if you think that lame is Hip Hop then what the hell have you been sniffing? Lupe on the other hand that's my dude right there all of his music is mad nice you know with that classic feel. Something you can play 5 years from now and it still sounds good. I'm telling you they should line-up the Young money morons, soulja boy, and anyone else that raps dumb shit and shoot them all!!

[koopaking45]

Hip-Hop Was On TV In 2002?

[EdiBlazE]

I was mesmorized the 1st time i saw this vid on BET coz even back in 2002 real hiphop had begun to fade

[silentchaos1]

TORONTO!!!

[DillaWafers]

14 people i wouldnt care died

[Dynastyie]

Like a sick ryhming castro lol naw this track is rlly good for bboying (battlesnakes hawaii vs beat down crew)

[kinstube]

N!!!!!!!CE

[eekman87]

man, if hip hop was like this today.. I would be a fan

[Primetiime32]

I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY 8TH GRADE CRUSH

[thegingerbreadman]

never heard of this dude but his flow to the solo-hot sample is crazy

[Syetactic]

I love how he appeals to two different crowds.

The people who just listen to a song and nod their heads and love it(they also got this cool distracting video to watch).

And then the people who actually realize the substance and message in his lyrics. The people who stop rewind, and take in the words he's saying.

K-os is amazing. When I heard the song, "Man I used to be" I was mind blown about how similar we our journeys to find ourselves have been.

Tho Im not there yet, I learn frm his songs.

[argonPOS]

In the day, the guy with the facepaint was in my home town teaching some girls how to do the hip hop dance, a clinic of some sort. Me and the dudes asked him if he wanted to have a session, and he wanted us to pay. So we rocked the concrete infront of their doors. Douchebag.

[checkthisout3344]

This is brilliant, I love it.

[DjKC334]

MAN THIS IS THE SHIT!!

[Rinse0ut]

can someone pleasee re-post the actual video to heaven only knows ... its the version with him picking up diffrent albums in a record store ( play de record in toronto )

[Tataru5117]

the video almost ruined the song for me...almost

[graffer420]

classic

[phillyfan75]

"YOU CAN CHANGE WORLD"....Deep Inspiration!

[Lorotron1]

I love this song I'm just glad there's still people out that doesn't make shitty music. I've always hated BET anyway so they can kick rocks.

[1xtra299]

watching BET today you would never think they would have been playing music like this a few years ago.

[WTF401kevvy]

Look Like wat Will.I.AM try to be , FUK BEP

[getwhatyougive12]

This is HOT....!!! BOUGHT HIS CD WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL....GREAT ALBUM...WHERE ARE YOU K-OS....YOU HAD GREAT LYRICS, DOPE BEATS AND SUBSTANCE...

[Micmatic]

Cool ass song I remember watching this video back in 2002 when I fist started rapping

[bisniz]

*.....* high

[MsPeaceism]

This really was good music!!! I can listen to this all day

[pixelfish]

real rap, not that crap they play on cold 93.7

[TheMrsketchens]

I cant believe i found this song. I would jam this back in da day. I also like missy's "I'm really hot".

[wisewarrior7]

Do you guys remember when BET was boss enough to bump shit like this?Now the only things BET plays are things that embarass the black community

[MR666SANDMAN]

@wisewarrior7 - SO FUKKING TRUE!!!!!

[dreday1234]

@wisewarrior7 thats what happen when corporate white people take over.

[wisewarrior7]

@dreday1234 No that's what happens when you let kids take over

[tonyAJ420]

@wisewarrior7 Nothing to do with race, its a disgrace to humanity. They shouldve never gotten rid of rap city

[wisewarrior7]

@tonyAJ420 BET's new mainstream direction has a lot of influence on racial issues.As a young black man I'm surrounded by peers that have bullshit racial stereotypes rapped around their minds.They get their ideas of how a black or hispanic person should act mostly from music videos and shitty music

[XforeverlongingX]

@wisewarrior7 this is just as embarrassing. It's stupidity.

[moody01]

@wisewarrior7 rite, im still tryna grasp the fact that the bet logo is in the bottom right corner!

[mynameisrits]

@wisewarrior7 Yup! That's where I first saw this video lol.

[SwiftbeatProductions]

@wisewarrior7 Well said wisewarrior.

[REwoodzie]

@wisewarrior7 aint that the truth!!!

[mlp573]

@wisewarrior7 hell yeah i love this song one of my favorite hip hop song .. true hip hop

[JaimzSB]

Great song, but I'll choose the jiggy era over today's shit.

[blax82]

illest bboy video ever!

[MrMoydy]

this joint came out 2003 summertime.......memories

[MissPurpleMoon1]

awesome dancing ! love the song

[southernkatt30]

@3:42 Insane!!!!!!! Now that's some dancing right there!!!!!

[DonnTrumpp]

I've been looking for this shit for a year! Time to smoke a blunt!

[jbeach2323]

Beautiful song, amazing freaking dancers. Never understood why this wasn't a much bigger hit than it was. But, great that it was made and released in the first place.

[jasonjh]

The beat is Hot Music by SOHO from the Cabaret EP.

[shat619]

This song is so ill

[ebonyandivory524]

this video/song blew me away. i thought he was gonna be huge in america........but the US hates good music

[jbeach2323]

@ebonyandivory524 - not the US so much as the commercial advertising that runs the broadcasting...but you're basically correct in effect. Thank heaven there's word of mouth and now the Internet, where US people can find what they want and like without needing radio and TV.

[buddhamanify]

where is that beat from ? did he produce it himself i think ive heard it before this tho

[vincethefunk]

@buddhamanify

"hot music" - soho

[bigindalbc]

DOPE!

Real recognize real!!

Hip-Hop until the day I drop!!

[tommyrainey]

this track is the illest i've heard. I would bang this whenever I hear it! K-os rips it!

[ExpressYourself85]

Cannot believe k-os doesn't get so much recognition ! This tune is banging even though it was done nearly 10 years ago !! This artist is a SUPERTARR !!

[xraidedlok]

BET = 106 n park and hood movies.. and mothafuckas wonder why white people are afraid of yall and dont hire yall n much much more..

[xraidedlok]

whatever the cost i will not floss mcs act boss they all get tossed. off the plank hold the dank i dont burn i got alot to say but really lots to learn

[tekken2345]

this is to hot

[zimmytherock]

beat is sick

[beantownn54]

back when BET was good

[tekken2345]

@beantownn54 indeed

[perincito]

does anyone know who choreographed this vid? it's just excellent...one wonders who the dancers were and where they've ended up. i can't believe it's been almost ten years since this was released. still fresh. and that guy with the mask & gloves...creepy bastard...amazing

[JamesARcomedian]

he says listening to that garbage yet this video was on BET which is garbage....but i used to love when this song came on rap city and Cita's world.

is it just me or does the chrous have nothing to do with the rap???

who i love is her... shes a superstaarrrrrrrrrrr (ha)

[MrSexxxy20]

Man this was my SONG! Whatever happen too K-Os?

[78donjon]

This joint always gives me chills. Doesn't get anymore hip-hop than this. This is how hip-hop should make you feel.

[quartz76]

I really miss UpRoc thurs at Una Mas!!!! This vid never gets old!

[troberto25]

12 people snapped their ankles tryin to top rock to this song

[BlackmanHatessnow]

tdot's best

[SuperHomesun]

K-OS is a Genius ahead of his time.

[Diamondgrl2007]

damn i was in love with this song in 8th grade!! actually breakdanced to it too

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

hey look, it's real hip hop!!

[LilNaruto9tails]

@ErikVaughnDillinger OMG, IT IS! Let's download it! Legally!

After all, it's real, so it's worth paying for...Right!?!

[Kenster1025]

@blakphantom well it could work, but Jeru would not be cussing as much as he regularly would. So it would be interesting indeed.

[Kenster1025]

I think Jeru the Damaja should a collaboration with K-OS.

[dinkhead1]

this shit is so original

[JCAKK48]

kheaven is the man... love k-os!

[houseyou313]

I only saw this video once, when this song first came out...then some years later, here come the Black Eyed Peas. Until I had a chance to look at him more closely, I thought that maybe K-OS and Will I Am were the same person, and that he just changed his name. I guess part of me was hoping that someone as dope as K-OS could blow up like that.

[badflamer]

@houseyou313 lol they do look really similar. man i remember teh days where i wished that K and Will made a song together. back when will could actually touch this shit, before BEP became 'ferggie n' friends'.

[78donjon]

@houseyou313 Black Eyed Peas acutally came out before this joint. They debuted in '98 (if I'm not mistakened)

[poetmob19]

Man I've always love this song/video since i was a kid

[BREAKTHECODE2222009]

been looking for the name of the mime in this video for about 9 years now, still no answers. i wont quit though.

[Paaaaater]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009

looks like a young David Elsewhere

[muggledon1]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009 that kid is nice



[jakewareham]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009 churos joint in the dot, he resigns

[JoeyDraZtic]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009 i wouldnt be surprised if it was Mr. Wiggles dressed as a mime....could be wrong though



[kminnis1]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009 what do mean mimi?

[thomasdr08]

@BREAKTHECODE2222009 I knew the dude's name, I used to ALWAYS watch his vids on YouTube...but that was back when this came out... Tryina find it now - if I do I'll let you know, lol

[Sensaye25]

Its funny because 'the jiggy' era seems dope now when you listen to it in comparison to the shit that's out now. I'll take that late nineties Badboy material over almost anything that's out now. It was glittery but it was still Hip-Hop and still had an element of fun. It wasn't this overly serious ego massaging safe shit we're force-fed now.

[PotatoFTW]

bboy 4ever

[ELI732]

I love this video

[fothaluvofmusik1]

I been chasing hip hop & electronica music since I could multiply. Ppl who are jus gettn hip 2 dis, yal should smack ya selves...Den pat urself on the back B/C of the tremendous treasure you found!!

[soulofL]

real hip hop makes me feel good. and this makes me feel veeeeeery good.

[Pillage4Pleasure]

i like the guy with the mask.

[7Beyonder]

line for line, bar after bar...this is one of the most literate tracks ever....

[SlickPopz]

I remember breaking to this when I was 13!

[robod42]

its an insult to even compare his looks to will.i.am. k Os for life

[GrabbingNutsWithMouf]

@robod42

Would You let K-os rub his balls against the back of your neck ???

[skiddymax]

@GrabbingNutsWithMouf

Yes. Yes I would.

[wardrya1]

so... i guess i'm the only one that thinks he looks like will.i.am huh?

[TheBurningBuddhist]

@wardrya1 Nah. I thought he was the same guy - which is sad, because will.i.am is not even half the man that k.os is.

[sketcha09]

@wardrya1 I saw it too back then during B.E.P. earliest times.

[tikomik05]

@wardrya1 i think so too!

[bfan82]

dis is da sh**...i'd like to kno who da hell click on da dislikes

[Juwellz18]

They recorded this video off rap city. Ahh the days.

[DJIMUSIK]

RAW REAL RAP!!!!!!!!!! R.R.R.

[teddybruscie]

This beat is like crack for B-Boys. This beat will create a jam session real quick.

[eazyfool12]

@ipc0615 BET is watered down bullshit man.. it irked me when they had BET uncut 4 a minute then took it off, had shows like hot ghetto mess n wack as comic view but they wouldnt air one of Little Brothers videoes or any conscious artists videoes cause they were deemed "too intelligent".. dats a sack of shit! u blackball a Mos Def or Lupe Fiasco vid 4 sum dumb country ass bamas!? it aint nuthin but black EXPLOITATION television!

[xinsectoxurbanox]

I love the beat, being "Hot Music" by SOHO.. and when I heard someone was rapping over it.. I didn't really think I was gonna like it.. but he did a damn good job with this... his flow in this song reminds me of an early Busta Rhymes somehow.... damn i like this song,.

[Jah560]

This guy proves that the hip hop can rock without havin contents like d game, money, hoes, beef n drive by.

[IndonesiaNegaraKu]

lol thumbs up if you realized comments that mention the "how to rap" book get the most thumbs up on videos. shit is crazy. its like every good emcee i click on has that comment with over 50 thumbs ups.

[swingman37]

This song is just 9 years old...How did today's music get so bad? What happened between then and now?

[RaikoShono]

@swingman37 agreed dude. Hip-hop is quickly going down. Seems the only person keeping it palatable is Eminem.

[eazyfool12]

when BET would put out the real...@ this point FUCK BET!!

[lpc0615]

@eazyfool12 I have to agree with you. I miss BET when they would play all kind of music....well different mixture of music like jazz, hip hop and mostly R&B music on their network. Now they play stuff appealing to the teens.

[shoot3pt]

who is da mime dude man he aint playin bra

[mahadabdi24]

i remember when i saw this on bet back in grade 8 frigging loved it happy to see k-os being shown to the shitty Bet music station show the americans real rap naa mean.

[shoot3pt]

@mahadabdi24 8 grade wen i got home rap city was on i used to see dis shit erryday yo

[novostain]

for a second i thought god might be feeding him lines, but then i realized god is probably banging this shit just like us. gotta love it.

[newtwothisufirsts]

love the video but what the house track name. i here it in the clubs but never knew the name of the track.

[lifepeeks]

@newtwothisufirsts Soho - Hot Music

[jmejia26]

the chick at 2:39 kills it!

[TheFunkJunkieMusic]

Thanks for posting this up man, I love this track. If you have time check out my remix of "Fun" off K-OS's most recent album. Let me know what you think, it's just on my channel. Props for putting up good music on the tube!

[draysonvideo]

@gerryg1982 Trying to sell your book or something?

[bboyninja3396]

this song is awesome

[advthamonsta]

like how he covered hot music by soho with style

[K1NGD0RK]

I'm the 10000 Person who liked this.

[nuevarine]

This song has been stuck in my head for the past seven years and am just now finding it, and realizing that I should've known that this dopeness was from k-os and k-os alone. I need to catch up for those 7 lost years.

[cqueano]

prolly a long shot, but does anyone have this instrumental??? prolly one of the illest beats ive heard. sounds like some early 90's jazzy ass rap. PLEASE hook up this instrumental if you have it ;)

[skinnyJEANking2]

See that B.E.T. logo? Back when they played REAL hip-hop? Now B.E.T. plays into black stereotypes, demeaning music. Where hip-pop, R&Pop runs B.E.T. FUCK THAT. I've heard of K-Os from watching FUEL TV. Yup, an action sports station. Same with the visionaries and Vast Aire. Funny how FUEL TV can play real shit, but not B.E.T.? Support your favorite artists! Check my favorites out for good ass music.

[jmejia26]

@skinnyJEANking2 i loved your comment till i saw ur screen name your lol...your killing me smalls!!!! lol jk but yea i was thinking the same think bout the bet logo i remeber watching the basement and this would b the last song they played meaning i would sit for 2 hours just to watch this vid FUCKING CLASSIC!!!

[Mello3030]

@skinnyJEANking2 yea thats so true

but B.E.T. doesnt even play videos anymore its all this Reality Bull Shiit

Its sad MTV doesnt play any damn music on television

[xraidedlok]

@skinnyJEANking2 bet set yall back soo far now hahahah its just 106 n park.. tvone is a real black channel !

[sonof817]

i aint a b boy but i will K kick the shit out of anybody hatin on this song

[Kingdelaan]

The real song is

Soho - Hot Music

[xstbtnh24]

K-Os consistently puts out really great music

[dirtydale]

Thanks.

[TommyGun19]

did i remember hearing a sample of this in a missy elliot song or something along those lines? Or did i just dream that?

[quake1033]

that mime was dope

[shadowguy20004]

doesnt this sample a song, the beat sounds familiar... I def heard this at a party

[acegotflows]

@shadowguy20004 SoHo-hot music...
