[calebgraham95]

[tisasnapback]

[dredhed1989]

@tisasnapback it is Mos. This is from the movie Bamboozled

[DJCABIN]

WHY DOES A PARODY SONG HAVE MC SERCHS AND CANIBUS' BEST VERSE IN YEARS ??

[jjdabaddes]

@DJCABIN This is Old, came out like 1999, Back them Canibus was at his prime

[coobird7]

Jo Black rips that "Everything black is wack n sh%t"

[sowellsowell]

I had to watch this after seeing Bamboozled on IFC last night.

[MrJV410]

14 people are definitely bamboozled.

[RashidTAhmed]

double black sucks

[enigma2488]

R-Truth could have used this as his theme.

[LazarusCato]

I scored Bamboozled for $6.95 the other week, I was stoked - awesome movie and this is awesome to "Government got a Black phobia, that's why they tap my black Nokia" such an ill line.

[sorstudios]

Wasn't that guy on the tv show OZ

[chris45627]

@sorstudios Yeah He Was Poet

[maddywoo13]

I'm not a fan of Spike. At all. But I thought it brilliant how he got these amazing rappers to play some of the most stereotypical rap group ever of all time. Just awesome.

[ecnalubma696969]

I'm black y'all and I'm black y'all, and I'm blickety-blick blackety black y'all.

[g4ngst4m4n]

daayum you gotta love charli!

[wisewarrior7]

Am I the only one that thinks.... for a satire....this is a dope ass song? xD

[NewGenerationProd1]

@wisewarrior7 yhh son its a dope as track

[chris45627]

@wisewarrior7 Word Weird Al Could neva Make Satire This Dope

[zuluboi305]

ill track

[shonuffe]

1. Serch - DESTROYED IT

2. Cannibus - RIPPED IT

3. Charli Baltimore - KILLED IT

4. Mos Def - WENT IN ON IT

[djade20]

Charli, Canibus, and Serch ripped this.

[OACYLU]

i hate that retarded 1 16th fool. his character in the film is meant to be hated. cuz he's a white guy who thinks he is black aka a wigger

[sontwisted]

@OACYLU what the fuck are you talking about mc search been doing it in hip hop for years

[phuturephunk]

@OACYLU Serch was busting out rhymes when you were a zygote. Educate yourself.

[AFIAyanna78]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

[beans301]

Serch is a beast...born from part devil part cracker from queens.........crazy

[garyn1953]

Whatz Blak??? ... Shade of the Universe !!!!!!!

[RealHipHopUnleashed]

anybody seen the film??????

[DobriReperi]

first dude talks at the beginning, and the last rapper with afro, those 2 were acting in the legendary show OZ...those 2 heads are real and serious dudes with good actings and rapping skills !

[wisewarrior7]

LOL.This is supposed to be a satire they created,but they actually made a dope ass song lol

[GroddGuerrilla]

...Kills me that people don't see the satire in the Mau Maus like they do the movie.

Remember Public Enemy? Fake as fuck, too.

[Division1985]

Fun fact: That Liz Smith line from MC Serch, was actually Will Smith. The name was changed for the obvious reason..his wife was in the film.

[Hev1974]

@Division1985 Thanks for putting that bit of information out there. Liz Smith made no sense what so ever.

[johnedee]

@Division1985

Sorry dude/ette - not to piss on the parade but Liz Smith was in fact a gossip/scene/social writer for the New York Daily News who wrote all about the elite night life in NY. She ignored hip hop.

[Division1985]

@johnedee Ah, did not know that..However, I remember watching the video ten years ago (wow, 10 years). Will Smith's name was mentioned. Oh well.

[ThaVMan]

@johnedee Nah judging by the set-up ("build with") and Serch's multi syllabic style, guarantee it was originally Will Smith. Liz Smith is SO much less known and Will makes more sense on a grander scale. Division1985's theory of it being changed since Jada was in the movie makes perfect sense.

Anyway, thanks for posting this! Real dope movie.

[sista005]

@johnedee No, based on an interview with Spike Lee, he actually SAID that the reference was explicitly about Will Smith, who had been asked to audition for the character Pierre da la Croix.

But thanks for the additional reference to this other person..

[Hev1974]

@johnedee this makes more sense.If they changed it because of Will Smith wife it would mean they sold out. This song is all about not selling out!!

[chj2]

@Division1985 And then MC Serch went on to diss James Brown after James died, performing as James Brown in Blackface. Hip Hop Activist Davey D had a picture of this on his website. I remember Paradise the Architect and Brotha J from the X-CLAN checking his ass on that shit, responding to MC Serch's racism. He also, along with Eminem, also dissed the X-Clan. After that, I pretty much wrote MC Serch off with a big $#@! YOU!!!!!!!!!! Then again, MC Serch said, "part @#$%!, part cracka from Queens"

[Gstyle011]

Love this tune!

[MiG2880]

I want to apologise on behalf of my skin colour (my RACE is HUMAN) for all the ignorant nazi nut jobs on here. They don't speak for white people. Please don't think we're all like that.

[Melanatedone]

This is the JUMPOFF!

[jeanpiaget007]

I don't want to have anything to do. . . with anything black. . . for at least a week.

[Moo206]

@jeanpiaget007 rofl

[chuckbear]

Bamboozled is the only Spike lee movie I like..

[wisewarrior7]

@chuckbear haven't you ever seen Crooklyn

[iigunzent]

The only thing I criticize about this is that i think It would've added so much value to have KRS-1 instead of Gano Grillz in the mau maus

[behinddacurtain]

@iigunzent KRS ONE would´ve never wanted to be in this movies, I betcha, because he doesn´t speak as often about "Race" as Mos Def or some one else KRS ONE knows about the international struggle against opression he knows as well about poor black americans, but he knows that black americans in these days don´t have it the worst, while others act as if, so I think that´s why KRS ONE would´ve not fit in in this movies he is not a negative person he talks about solutions while others bout problems

[chuckbear]

this is a great song I will admit

[macchineagricole]

"

The government got a black phobia

That's why they tap my black Nokia

"

[gatorade247]

who is liz smith at 2:14

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

@gatorade247 I think she writes for the Daily News a gossip columnist

[vapidkunst]

@sarahjeanluvsmusik @gatorade247

I can't prove it but I think the line was originally penned to be "Will Smith" but changed when Jada was cast in Bamboozled. "Knowledge that we drop you don't even build with ; like me winnin' a rap Grammy and givin' it to Will Smith."

It rhymes so much better.

[SupraJulie]

@vapidkunst In the movie the main character, Dellacroix, intentionally confuses Mathew Modine's work with Matt Dillon's work. Modine presents Dellacroix with an award, but delares himself a big fan of 'Modine's' work, and gives his award to to him. He's intentionally Uncle Tomming while making himself look stupid to win the favor of white people. They're joking that the equivalent for a white person would be winning a Grammy for rapping and giving it to Liz Smith instead of Will.

[SupraJulie]

@SupraJulie They aren't taking a shot at Will Smith.

[FunkMystiks]

This is soulful and solid. New age uprising! Too much pain for these type issues to be by-gones. Fist clinchin' production as well.

[helboi]

search kilt dis shit!!!!!!!!!

[dug699]

i like the live version wit the doo doo doo!!!!

[RagingPhoenix420]

[ndfightingirish9]

@MrHARLEMBRONX Your comment is truly disappointing. Maybe you should watch Bamboozled and look into its deeper meaning.

[darkblade1508]

wats da girls name at 0:41

[wurltee31]

@darkblade1508 Charli Baltimore

[zalagurl]

@darkblade1508 her name is charli baltimore

[KillHighPitch]

Cracker after cracker, wish they were blacker, but you computer hackers and potato chip snackers lack the mental alacrity to bust rhymes with me cuz I drop science on thee while you whine constantly about negros that aim to be intelligently on par you see, to get equality. Can't you see I am the King Nigga droppin' bombs and you freeze while I dissect your hate for me. Merry XMas eve you racist freaks.

[MAUZN82]

canibus totally ripped it

[chj2]

Agreed - he also ripped LL's ass in that battle rap, too.

[wiiboy555]

mc serch had a flow and rhymed like this then he'd probably been way more successful

[FAMEisGOD]

the guy on the third verse goes off

this song is actually ill

[jakesnakers]

yeah, mr. 1/16th rips it. that's mc serch from 3rd bass

[wiiboy555]

if his flow and he rhymed like this he woulda actually been known cuz a lot of folks dont know him

[americanfighter77]

what the fuck is this jiggaboo shit??? this is what happens when you spend more with a crack pipe watchin BET than you do with a book in a class room. fuck you niggers white pride world wide

[Joe2nd]

...and I bet you wouldn't say that out loud in public. And i'm pretty sure white people smoke crack too, you ignorant, trailer trash, inbred coward.

[americanfighter77]

shit youve already lost that bet, so uh why dont you go pawn some VCRs, get yourself a 40 and some chicken and go fuck yourself you filthy baboon

[Joe2nd]

and why don't YOU get urself a job, an education and another women BESIDES ur sister to fuck. Better yet? How about u move out of ur mothers trailer, kick ur acid addiction and find an occupation that doesn't involve a tractor trailer. LOL the funniest part of all? People like you look down on my race...but only because ur jealous. Its funny how ur bashing on hip hop culture when u OBVIOUSLY listen to it. I mean, how else could u have come to this video? People like u are nothing..

[americanfighter77]

stupid boon, first of all we're jealous??? what the fuck??? hahaha why would i be jealous of you? because the government pays for your miserable existence? because your women are all hideous and idiotic? and i OBVIOUSLY listen to this shit? i found this shit by accident lookin for some white people music aka REAL MUSIC. by the way how are you on the internet? i didnt know you could buy computers with food stamps.

[Oystercake]

lol! nice spoof account there

[Joe2nd]

Stupid? Kid, I don't even know you. And i already know my intelligence is FAR above yours. Hell i'm probably more intelligent then your parents too, not that thats an accomplishment considering they're brother and sister. Tell me, how does it feel to have a father who is ALSO ur uncle? impressive...ANYways as with the crack comment white people make use of the public assistance system just as much as black people. And no you cannot by computers with food stamps. But i BET i could buy ya mama lol

[americanfighter77]

you're more intelligent than me but you spell "your" as "ur" and you can't use the right form of "buy" yea, im sure youre alot smarter than i am... haha yea. go find a cotton field somewhere and make yourself useful nigger

[Joe2nd]

Ok first off its the internet so i'm pretty sure i'm allowed to say 'ur" instead of your. And secondly as u can see I spelled it correctly the second time, therefore it would only be logical to assume that the first time was a TYPO you dumn fuck lol Your stupidity is SO amusing to me lol thats the only reason I keep replying to these..and if u want to argue grammar, u forgot to put an apostrophe in the "youre" of your last comment, dickhead lol see, racism makes people so unintelligent...

[americanfighter77]

whatever, at any rate i'm white and you're not so have fun knowing that my family probably owned yours at one point. stupid ape.

[DirtyRat88]

u love us black people that why u looking us up on youtube..u know it true lol..

[Joe2nd]

LMAOOOOOOOOO so i'm guessing you couldn't think of a comeback huh? Stupid ape? I believe we've already decided that I am more intelligent then you, something that you would have noticed if you had actually possessed any of the said intelligence. AND..sorry to burst your bubble but my family came from Trinidad. So...yeah its highly unlikely that your family owned mine. BUT...you seem to be out of retorts so...yeah i'm done lol

[chj2]

And you probably pronounce Notre Dame as NO-TUR DAIM, INSTEAD OF NO-TRA DAHM, and you probably pronounce Versailles as VER-SALES INSTEAD OF VER-SIGH. Don't get me started on how many white folks who speak the "King's English" (is it even worthy of royalty???)can't even pronounce OTHER EUROPEAN LANGUAGES CORRECTLY - now YOU go find a cotton field and PICK YOUR OWN DAMN COTTON, cracker!!!!

[chj2]

No, first of all, I can speak english, FRENCH (which I pointed out as in the words NOTRE DAME which means OUR LADY in French, and Versailles, which is a French city where the TREATY OF VERSAILLES took place), SPANISH, as well as a little bit of SWAHILI, LATIN, and ITALIAN. Therefore, I'm obviously MULTILINGUAL, shitbrain. Second, Africans DID NOT NEED EUROPEAN INTERVENTION - we had advanced societies in ancient times, while some of y'all were running around Fred Flintstone style, HONKEY!!!

[wisewarrior7]

@americanfighter77 If your mom and your sister are the same person.......you might be @americanfighter77

[chj2]

It's called a SATIRE, which some of your people, like MARK TWAIN (ever heard of him) dabbled in quite often back in the day. Second, if it's jiggaboo shit, then why is your CRACKER, HILLBILLY, REDNECK ASS watching it? Go back to the trailer park, go back to planning that wedding with YOUR SISTER and shut the hell up, you hillbilly ingrate!!!

[chanelxdi0r]

moron

[chanelxdi0r]

ur mom

[nicheartist1]

@chj2 Hey, I live in a trailer park ...Whose the real fascist? I saw Bamboozled at a special pre screening at EMU and I am educated and broke and live in a trailer park, Why the fuck you got to hate on that shit you stereotyping prejudice mothafucka:(

[vapidkunst]

@chj2

Yeah it's nuts how many people don't get that this song is satire. The Mau Maus were like Spike Lee's criticism of how hip-hop wastes its potential to inform and radicalize because too many rappers put revolutionary posturing above revolutionary LEARNING.

The opening lines oughtta clue people in -- lots of big words strung together in a way that means nothing. And "You're lucky I ain't read 'Wretched' yet!" The message: READ 'THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH'

[behinddacurtain]

@vapidkunst by franz fanon right?

[snakejohnson]

@chj2 What's funny is right at the beginning of the movie they give the definition of the word satire, and the shit still went over people's heads.

[BLACKIESBOY]

@chj2

Tell it to that white trash piece of shit, brother! >:D

[DomincanXpanther]

whats the name of that light skin girl is that lady bug mecca

[undrgrndcharisma]

nope its Charli Baltimore

[DomincanXpanther]

okay man thnks ima look her up she looks familer

[DomincanXpanther]

1 part devil from queens lol

[jmac6965]

Mo Black killed it

[rozwell46]

@jmac6965 thats canibus

[awkword519]

Yo, is that one guy Poet from the HBO show Oz?

[scatcoitus]

the book in the beginning is the wretched of the earth by frantz fanon.

[raahmoan]

for a comedy, i think the rappers took it a little too serious..lol. this song wasn't meant to be good or anything.

[theominousthey]

The whole point was to kick good verses with no meaning. The Mau Maus in Bamboozled are a parody of groups that pose like they're political and don't know shit about their history.

[Footballking33]

yea 1/16th killed his part

[sighedeffects]

Um... 1/16th always kills his part... that's Emcee Serch... seriously?

[DomincanXpanther]

yea man

[pyrate73]

mos and serch got the best on this shit.

[alexopoc]

How in the HELL did this song get no plays on any video show?!

[BronkoScunkadelik]

Come on! That's a given. T.V. and radio will NEVER play this shit. Everyone prefers to keep their dials tuned in to CHANNEL STUPID.

Same monotonous, substance-free time. Same monotonous, substance-free channel.

[K1LLJOY818]

it did get video play i remember seeing it along time ago

[cattdaddy22]

you can catch this on cable on mtv jams, yep saw this and said fuck bet i dont watch that trash anymore

[invizlemizle]

This was way too black for me.

I don't want anything to do with anything black for at least a week.

[terrifried]

for those of you that are voting this down...it's a line from the movie.

[Ashantiwarriorkaos]

Canibus ripped it

[pyrate73]

mos def and serch drop some great shit on this track.

[BlackMacguyver]

mo black murdas traks!!!

[Maddman27]

Big Black Africa!

[snapcrackleandpop99]

I love 1/16th.

"I'll do you like the British!!"

he knows.

[snapcrackleandpop99]

I love you MC Serch for doing this project.

[JReyes123]

lol at the white guy

[M7Starr]

Don't sleep on Serch.. Serch is FIYAH!!

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

@M7Starr For real I loved 3rd Bass Check the channel It's .....

[mrseazye]

[darkm1ke]

canibus KILLED THAT SHIT

[franko31492]

werd bro

hes fuckin ridiculous

[twistedbabydoll]

This video is HILARIOUS!!!!

[Caughey13]

What is Mc search referring to when he says "Quickly take ya like 1950 and do ya like the british"

[Caughey13]

Nevermind, found out for myself

[thirdman5]

Does anybody know where I can get the instrumental for this track? I've been looking for it for ages.

[antwyon12344]

lmao canibus killed it

[mezol1zee]

haha, mos def is too ill..

[logick0]

mau maus were kenyan rebels before bamboozled came out

[YANHAP1]

Tru indeed though in Hip Hop there was also Mau Mau Clan Overlords....Rap is a contact sport,west coast from 88ish

[F00dTube]

bamboozled

[fredyzpt]

who is smooth black?

[BadMutha75]

Charlie b-more is smooth black.

[Ndgold22]

canibus*

[Ndgold22]

cannibus is sick as ####

[RealDefentertainment]

MC Serch will be the greatest white rapper of our time

Why not Eminem? well MC Serch is realer why not Beastie Boys? well they are good but am talking about great

[ojAndroid]

canibuss killlllllllllllllld that shit

[chj2]

What's interesting is that MC Serch dissed Prof. X of the X-Clan and James Brown, right after James and Prof. X died, and Paradise of X-Clan checked him on it. Check Davey D's website to see the story. Another case of a white person thinkin' they're down - then again Serch said himself, "Part Devil/Part Cracker from Queens".

[errizarif]

i guess you didn't see the movie

[chj2]

Erri, whatever MC Serch did OUTSIDE of starring in "Bamboozled" clearly has nothing to do with him being in the movie. I have "Bamboozled" on DVD, and have watched it SEVERAL TIMES, as it's one of my favorite films. I also read the statement from Paradise Gray of the X-Clan on davey d dot com. Another classic case where a white person thinks they're Black enough to be down with us when(can you say Justin TimberFAKE) but ain't Black enough to catch hell with us when the chips are down.

[MeckelBot]

the black guy in the beggining didnt he appeared in OZ?

[RotoEvil]

yeah, that's Mums.

[pstrommen]

yea, its muMs da schemer, he played 'poet'

[inkmachine]

This was and still is the shit...would have been a powerful group indeed

[majingangsta]

werid? i dont really get da video

[RotoEvil]

You gotta watch Bamboozled. It's been a few years so I'm going to watch it again...

[maverick2215]

the mau maus would be a dope real group.

[Hev1974]

When ever I want to get in touch with my inner black man I listen to this song. That along with some P.E. Dont believe the Hype and my day is set.

[hameno]

haha

[AceDiddy6]

Yo this song is so Hot like on some real incredible music type stuff....and Canibus and Serch killed this joint.

[RotoEvil]

yeah Cannibus fukkin RIPS it.

[Mikevon86]

Thanks for the post awsome vid!

[jrg98]

This whole concept of the Mau Maus was just genius.

[NortonYorksterdam]

Oops it looks like somebody DID read "Wicked" within a year or so of this movie.

[jesuitpimp]

i bet charli could suck a mean ass dick
