Mos Def - There is a Way

[XTheXRizzaX]

So simple, yet so powerful!!! Only could be achieved by Mos Def :)

[Sweetzweirdo]

Very powerful video.

[amirajadid]

timely and timeless...

[Spook1906]

This is POWERFUL!!!

[amccall88]

This should be the official video, word

[MrDasolja]

If yer ever dow in life just jam this, and soon youl relise that There is a Way.

[bunmigift]

IF YOU DIDN'T ACE THIS ASSIGNMENT, YOUR PROFESSOR WAS AN IDIOT!! GREAT WORK!! THIS IS AGELESS!!!

[mikeyinhd]

Peace people. Peace, peace, peace. We can do anything, but freedom ain't free, but WE can do this

[ShinoVince1]

We still have negroes nowadays, but they are black, white, asian....

You're a negro when you're poor, and it's realy more insidious because most of people don't know who they are, who they must fight against, and who they should ally with...

Music and video : great job !

[comm3nt]

PEACE people ... nothin more to say.... peace (v)

[vivalasosaTV]

Mos Def - Beauty in the Dark (Music video by SOSA REAL)

[bgcentrs]

True artist, true music. This will be listened in 2050 year, cause it's real, not lil wayne shit.

[Oldschoolrap91]

Mos Def one of my favorite musicians and there are so many great and brilliant mos def tracks but this is special...one of the most simplest lyrics I've ever heard but at the end my favorite mos def song

[matttarnef]

Great work. This song is a great one, due to the end listeners ability to attach their own gravity of meaning to it. Well done. Worth a listen as well 'priority'

[mrushton24]

check out my site.

only hip hop

illasoul.com

[GodisallasIam]

Incredible song & video.. I felt like this was a actual video by mos def for this song. Great match up. Good Job @ Dacrosby

[bakunine1]

adding the best bathing suits that are said here about slavery regret to remind you always hear that in Europe until two centuries behind a insteticional slavery that we judge to state and formerly the king. black brothers and clearer eyes open war and one and only united vencer.E can not forget slavery still ... hope it's not until the end of times.peace

[MCkidKool]

Wats the sample?

[kemeticshogun1]

After watching this: let us not forget the injustices on our own soil when dealing as "peace" ambassadors in the world. If we were to kill the terrorists you just viewed, what type of place would that have made the USA. it is not right to tell others "do as I say and not as i do". let us be true in matters of concern for others.

[evilgenius151]

youre an idiot. :/

[katroulas666]

About Mos Def i dont got to say anything he is great amazin!!!I wanna say this though...In my country and hood i am considered a reacist...That is I only hate turks and albans coz every single day provoke us and as country and as people and personally!!!Anyway my point is i am all about RESPECT!!!and i love black people they NEVER HURT ANYONE IN HISTORY OF HUMANITY!!!And yes thanks to black people THANK GOD HIP HOP WAS BORN!!!PEACE BROTHERS I HOPE ONE DAY RESPECT WILL RULE THE WHOLE WORLD!!!

[MatsudairaTakuma]

@katroulas666 rofl you fail.

[Oldschoolrap91]

incredible rapper, and way too underrated...Mos Def, you gotta love this guy

[t1mmy19]

wow!! thats all i gotta say. really powerful video!

[40studds]

I could sing this @ church & nobody would sit me down...

[TimeBomb202]

We can live together as brothers, or perish together as fools....

[jamaluzujacobs]

this song need to be edited into all of the rocky movies

[aGwEENapple]

The things we black Americans can do today, we have to remember were things other black Americans sacrificed their lives and safety for to get us.

People try and tell us "slavery's long ago, FORGET IT" however I don't think a lot of those people realize hate for black people didn't stop at slavery.

People were fighting for civil rights decades AFTER SLAVERY. WE SHOULD NOT FORGET.

The year my father was born was the year that Dr. King was assassinated.

Is 43 years REALLY THAT LONG AGO?

[MrExodos]

No mezcleis a dios con nuestros problemas.

[UniversalRa]

This is Fuckin awesome!!!!

[PysiakThugAngel]

0:30 it's very lovely shot with these busses driving too DC for Million Man March.

[3452g5]

we are all human beings why is it so hard to get along ?

[trainmaster5000]

don't give up! there is hope for the world. While there are people who are bad - there are those of all races, religions that are making a difference. We can all pull together and make a difference. Love can conquer anything - including the recession. When we all start to care for our fellow being more then ourselves society wins!

[e1leeny]

My all time favorite from Mos Def

[ssmtbstomper13]

Nice Job Dacrosby! I seen the other you did for the Saul Williams song "List of demands" also great! Nyceekay is right you need to submit your work to Dr. Cornell's site. I believe that your work can open the eyes & minds of our youth of all races to educate them that we are all equal and bleed the same blood! Peace! Dacrosby keep up the great work Homie!!! Live~Love~Laugh~~~~

[nyceekay]

Whomever did this video did a brilliant piece of work, you need to submit this to Dr. Cornell Wests' site, and some others, people need to see such profound work, and its just a great peace to promote equality in this country. Well done. Keep up the great work family.

[dacrosby]

[simone1serengeti]

[simone1serengeti]

[snoball78]

This is like my 7th time in a row listening to this song 0.0

[snoball78]

He got me singing along while I'm on my computer :)

[Itallsounddasame]

This whole cd is excellent!!! it covers issues on race, global disasters, political issues, issues involving hip hop, a very inspirational album...maybe his best.

[meadydoheny]

ironic how ALL of the militant and politically empowering hip hop is what you DON'T hear in the mainstream

[pietren00]

[2great2h]

@merkseason09  2pac is the best but c'mon bruh can't get mad over someones opinion

[merkseason09]

@2great2h Tupac is my favorite but he dissed all the other good rappers. and it's on a video that does not even have tupac in it.

[2great2h]

@1971Tupac1 you right but you ain't gotta diss everybody else bruh. 2pac loved his fellow MC's Wu-Tang Boot Camp Click just to name a few Even tho he was the best he never said he was

[goldiesda1]

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH U H9KASLYMA, BUT U FORGOT MY DUDE JIGGA

Excellent video for a great rap.

[grabass136]

[TheBaaadOne]

Skinheads shot at me but i dont give up 2 always respect every1!! even when they are skinheads..and maybe 1 day we all can respect eachother or we are 2 retarded 2 ever reach that...but i dont give up!!xD

[jordansloane777]

yep matter whats going on you be the big person and you walk away you dont thet people like that get to you and clound your mind and you dont have to do any thing else back there just digging there self a hole going down that path

[TheBaaadOne]

yes man ya feel meh bro!!

[kottto22]

@TheBaaadOne - fuck that. if you can, then kill those cunts

[FuckHolmes]

There is no way I can have respect in an overall perspective of a man like that.

The only thing I can respect is his life because he hasn't threatened mine.

But as soon as that boundary is penetrated, his life is in the air.

[Migas128]

@TheBaaadOne damn...you should be president

[iaintmadatcha]

@TheBaaadOne thats real talk darg

[twang72]

@TheBaaadOne Skinheads are not the same as Neonazis.

[TheJovanist]

[TheBaaadOne]

@TheJovanist thank you, thank you!!

[RossiJenkins]

@TheBaaadOne Beautiful mi friend - best display of attitude i seen all year.... it IS HARD.... but as Dante Smith & Gil Scott Heron said: "Don't Give UP"

Peace to everyone who lives Peace

[mon3ybagz]

@TheBaaadOne

you cant respect evil but you can shoot back at the devil, with a big gun.

[YunGProphetLove]

[dasdafoij]

@TheBaaadOne Skinheads are a very good thing that has happened to this world. The more the marrier! and why wouldn't you respect skinheads

PROPS TO ALL THE SKINHEADS IN THE WORLD!

[ffhaksf]

@TheBaaadOne to respect those that don't deserve respect is true greatness. People like you change the world for the better.

[ScaredStraightUtube]

@ffhaksf thank you bro. that means alot to me man..

[jayare214]

[gargoyls]

Great job man.!! love to see the fucked up reality we ones had..(have)

[Yuriohs]

No?

Jena 6?

Where I live a black kid getting hit by a cmpd cruiser, and them saying it was their fault?

Go to a place where blacks are outnumbered, or any minority, then tell me we segregate ourselves.

We might talk bad about eachother sometimes, but we are all family

Atleast my race doesn't have the largest percentage of child rape and abstinence.

You all had chances to improve ourselves, we had to hustle to get books and even now we still do, with "bad teachers" going to low mino school

[shogunmetic]

peace to that, well put from an Original Asiatic Blackman

[saulhiphop]

this is dope, great song

[88OHA]

this shit is so real! lovin it

[VJSco]

nice !!

[eilyac]

amazing video. Imagine where we'd be if not for all the courageous people who fought for change.

[MujiToler]

thats my brothers song

[irockmoonman]

A+ i would of gave ya or 100 or 10/10 w.e the grading system was for ya

[geenuz4fam]

u say tomatoe i say tomatoe

[IntellectualMusic]

no. respect all religion and respect all knowledge no matter how you recieve it. If you who say fuck religion are wise, you will listen when corrected and if you have intelligent minds then you will entertain all ideas not just those you like. believe in what is right and respect others beliefs that's one of the ways to live a righteous life.

[rustyrazorzbuck50]

i feel you but the idea of religion period has been and is still used as a weapon against the desperate and disenfranchised.with that said if some body says"fuck religion"you have to understand where that vibe is coming from and respect that individuals ligitimate reason to say so.

[dragonmaster678]

@IntellectualMusic agreed!! so much but i think its important to maintain the ability to stand for what you believe in. In the case of religion i think some people can use religion to effect life in a bad way. those are people to stand against. there are also people who use religion in amazing and good ways and thats a situation where your obviously correct,

[IntellectualMusic]

@dragonmaster678 ya mon.. religion is a human construct, but God is something beyond our making.. so therefore I believe God is universal but different people have different interpretations, my ancestors were conquered by missionaries so I kinda combine pre-european beliefs and Christianity, I even got love for the Qu'ran. I mean why do we all have to live like those in the west. I hope in a few centuries, the world will no longer be revolving around money and the economy. peace

[speeches]

@IntellectualMusic Big up brethren.. Daps from Miami. 1.

[RestlessJ]

Damn this gave me the chills

[Samwisegamgyyy]

fuck islam, fuck all religions. You should try to free your mind.

[BlazeisBack]

Maybe just try to free your mind ...

[Rapgun]

respect man

[KingPain14]

Good video!
