[Caylorcrooner87]

[EraPlayLst]

[gymchick0101]

@EraPlayLst Unda Control- Magnetic North

[Absence7]

This song is absolutely amazing, and the video was beautiful.

[chargersphan21]

wtf. they got the chorus from uncle cracker-drift away. this shit aint original

[Crain]

They're sampling Drift Away for the song. It's a common thing in hip hop. It's more of a tribute if anything.

[Pbuddhafull]

@chargersphan21 they idn't know who uncle crakle was when they wrote a song they re did this now it's goes turn up the head phones and styreo instide of gimme the beats boy

[Korentsu]

@chargersphan21 uncle cracker got it from dobie gray circa 1973...check your facts idiot

[ccpimps]

@chargersphan21 Uncle Whatever didn't write Drift Away, you dolt. He covered it, too.

[Mandyy]

wow, im speechless. everything was beautiful

[TheKidForce]

Unbelievable storyline, its so good!

[SabastianScrivner]

give me the beat boy, to free my soul

wanna sing along to this rock and roll

[prettipreppy]

i LOVE YOU DEREK!!

[YouVRay]

wait.. he's deaf but..

sign language? He's mute too, then?!

[hiizm3]

most deaf are also mute

[keik]

its not that theyre mute its that most deaf people cant speak because we mostly learn to speak by hearing words pronounced and since they cannot hear it is very difficult if possible for them to learn to speak

[xXxKurokixXx]

What's the difference in talking if you can't hear yourself? lol

[YouVRay]

@xXxKurokixXx lol true.. but yeah he must be mute too since the girl's also using sign language-.-

[madchinksproductions]

if you cant hear yourself then you cant really speak.

[YouVRay]

@madchinksproductions not really.. if you're deaf but can speak.. it doesn't mean you can't speak.. just means you can't hear yourself lol

[benyamaguchi]

sometimes i dont understand why artists like them who have real talents don't get noticed

[chargersphan21]

@benyamaguchi  stfu

[benyamaguchi]

@chargersphan21

you tell me to stfu and yet i have 4 thumbs up on my comment? do u not understand my comment or ur english needs improvement?

[eggroll209]

@benyamaguchi people too busy listening to worthless crap by lil wayne instead

[solitude81185]

Great vid. Lyrics are awesome.

What model are those headphones?

[ChoChoquota]

tears into my eyes

[MarzyXD]

oh wow i like this, its original the MV. i never expected for him to be deaf.

[sandertrieu1995]

[jch4xer]

[SammieBooie]

[flyskyairflair]

this is... an AMAZING music video. Possibly the best I have EVER seen. The storyline is unbelievable...

[PacificSurgeNJ]

i agree, the storyline is great although the way the vid's shot is kinda old school

[nokaoiw00t]

kudos to wong fu for that

[linss]

The girl is very pretty. Love the vid, my best friend won't stop bothering me till I watch this. Great job.

[reaksa]

Wow i finally found this song .

I searched drift away then it came out hella old song music .

=]

[DivineAceX]

[reaksa]

It was on this dude music page so i keep listening to it so i just searched drift away hip hop then there it was .

[vueboy901]

dis song is tight

[Andohhh]

Love it!

[MissPinaii]

i love this song :]

[bob66803]

omg i love this song i even know the hole song

[jungminjae]

very moving music video. and gundam's comments against asians is pretty ironic since his username is a japanese tv series.. i have a feeling that gundam is an asian himself that is just bored.. or perhaps he has other underlying issues that he is expressing through multiple hateful comments. love the mv and the music.

[ImJustAisa]

Wow...

My world would be sooo crushed without music

poor guy

=[

[iTzPhresh]

1 of my favs.

[Rakkaus89]

so great! I <3 it

[x0x0Craz3yBab3]

aww.. i didnt get it at first.. but.. wow.

[Lilnicksta11]

i dont get it..

[kma1215]

the guy is deaf...

[dkkmjmj]

girl is cute

[XXTifaGainsboroughXX]

can someone send me the songs of magnetic north please. there isnt in germany.

[TruthYouCantHandle]

Buy their CD, cheapskate.

[NItEMArE129]

lol go back a few pages in the comments and read gundam's shit. it's pretty much showing that this is a kid that's pissed off cuz he got rejected from colleges and that an asian got into the one that he wanted to get to. Note: numerous references to UCLA and how asians are smart. Conclusion? This kid is such dumb shit that he cant get into a good college so he's just ripping on youtube. Don't you love how civilizations evolved?

[kaitou55]

haha totally agree with you. I just went back to read gundam's comments and he's such a hater.. hahahah. His comments just make me laugh.

[preciousmai]

your music sounds great.. if you ever come to the twin cities.. I'll be there ...

[huytran1026]

i'ma put this song in my ipod...

but wait

[ThatOneFilm]

Does anyone know what kind of Headphones those are?

[ThatOneFilm]

NVM they're technic headphones

[trueaznboi58]

Its not about who suffered the most because of racism, its about racism itself that causes sufferings to people. Black people, yes you were enslaved and harassed in history but you weren't alone back then, chinese enslaved themselves, egyptians enslaved themselves, and egyptians had it worse. Mummification? Pyramids? It's the suffering itself that racism brings about us. So people, just calm down and if you really hate racism. Then let's end it. Our words will always produce an echo.

[randompersoncookie]

@trueaznboi58 haha, i agree, but i still find it ironic that your username is "true azn boi" xD

[coconuts98]

@trueaznboi58 How does it have anything to do with racism ?!

[raza302]

all i can say is wow

[theidiot234]

i rather be blind,crippled,and fat instead of deaf. without music i would be crushed :o

[FIyingDumpling]

i like this version better :]

im sure everyone from this day and age would agree, too bad they had to change it :[

[bobstacos]

This video made me tear up... so well done.

[Huaien1]

So Long by who? who sings it

[JellybellyDenny]

I loved Magnetic North, and the song So Long is my number 1 best of all. Thank you for the upload.

[Binghamton2006]

finally some respectable asian hip hop lol

[Chaoticshot]

dam this video has the best message ever!

This song is tight too!

[Brandon2Hot4U]

Magnetic North is the best!

[penguinn1nja]

that was frieckin' amazin'. Is He like deaf or mute or something?

[niky0013]

Daaamn! I love u guys, I'm not really IN hiphop but u amaze me... the lyrics are... just have no words for u <3 this was my fave song like a year before and i still love it :) keep singing and DO WHAT U LOVE! :)

[niky0013]

oh, forgot to say that i still remember the lyrics :D O_o ;))

[penguinn1nja]

I feel the exact same way. This is the best hip hop ever.

[videowatcher1500]

Wow, this is no doubt one of the best hip hop songs I have EVER heard. Damn, I hope you guys keep making more songs like this =]

5/5 stars

[eclipsguido]

The Tender Tyranny of a Tiny Touch, a Torch lit Though The Trembling Tranquility inside Tries To Temper The Tendency,

Therefore Tormenting The emotional Temperament of The Touch, Till The Tremendous rapture Transposes into a Ture, Thin love.

...in this case...the love for music

[eclipsguido]

This is the second song I hear from Magnetic North, and from now on, I´ll tell others I´m fan of the lirics and flow of this group.

so long is my favorite song of them, as it truly deeply touches me.

Now I see this vid...drift away, on the music, on the lirics, the beat, the flow, bringing the music like music was ones meant to be, in the ears, right to the soul.

[giltamez]

dude i was about to say something bad about the vid,, but damnnn,, its a freaking awesome video,, and the girl sing beautifullll!!!!

[jackiiiex3]

Hey I know where this was taken place <3

:]

[Splitndash]

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

[sonofdealer]

i love this song

[z1fayth]

I cant believe that licensing crap this version is better

[thdado]

I wish I can understand what were they saying using sign language....the song rocks!!

[skyraida]

damn, at first i was like wtf, then i realised omfg he's deaf, must suck. :-/, made my heart twitch

[9459714]

hes mad thats hes deaf thats why hes upset and ruins the posters cuz they music ones and he cant listen to them

[cocojack612]

i dont get how come he wrecked his room... =/

why'd he get upset?

[orangeINthebox]

because hes mad that he turned deaf

[helloshangjr]

I HATE THAT THEY HAD TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THIS SONG AND REPLACED WITH WITHIN THE RHYTHM!!! this 1 is so much better

[dragaan]

its sad, i don't blame him for wrecking his room

struck a chord in my heart the first time i heard it

[ORENJiiRONOKUMA]

this is a great video

[skyrudr4gon]

omg this made me want to cry :'(

[Bboyfuture]

Deng this video is hella sad..

[sh0rtaznkid]

they shot it heck close to my house! wow i never knew till i watched the video...

[danykang]

man u gotta love wong fu. i like how they didn't show what was really going on until the mid-end where everything kinda comes together. my friend already told me about it but watching it was much much better.

another great wong fu video. with magnetic north's best song too. :D

[ShioriWhitefeather]

Can someone explain what happens from 3:20 to 4:05? I know some ASL, but not that much... *really wants to know*

[VintageFlorist]

They didn't sign that much, but I saw him sign "sister" when he crossed his face and held his fingers together.

She asked "go to a show with me?" And I saw her say "let's" for some reason... o_o

At the end, after she showed him the Magnetic North tickets, he signed "thank you" to her and gave her a hug.

[ShioriWhitefeather]

^_^ thanks. That's more than i knew.

[ShioriWhitefeather]

I didn't know there was another version. I only found the group today, but this song was the one that caught me. It mirrored me. Though, I'm curious about the other version...

[jeremykao2]

the reason they have two versions is b/c this was their original version. But than some big major record company heard this song and said that they stole it from the original "Drift Away" song so they remade it to the other one

[xenoassassin1]

Yeah that's what I heard too and I wanted to find out what quote,unquote stole.

The original Drift Away chorus:

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[xenoassassin1]

While Magnetic North's version goes:

Gimme that beat boys, gimme that flow

Let me live within the rhythm, let me free my soul, and drift away

Give me that beat boys, give me that flow

Let me live within the rhythm, let me free my soul

[xenoassassin1]

This doesn't change the fact that their still awesome. Hope that don't let this stop them and just keep them going. Magnetic North rocks!

[cookiemonster51706]

how do i find this at itunes if u kno comment me on my site

[mquerol]

That sucks that Magnetic North had to change this song cause of licensing rights or wat not but this is still my favorite ver of the song from them =P

[Sigrafix]

I like this rendition, it's different and has it's own soul.. that chick has a sweet voice.

[Sigrafix]

The original is called "Drift Away" written by Mentor Williams and recorded by Dobie Gray but one of the most popular covers is by Uncle Kracker.

the original chorus goes: "Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock n roll and drift away..."

[Oblivion089]

whats the original song called....?

[wongxinyao]

drift away by magnetic north

the beginning was

unda control by magnetic north

[Oblivion089]

fav song out of all their others

[xxkathiee]

uhm ya.. i dont get it. but i like the song

[eyezwideopen]

I love this version. It is very creative, and the video tuggs the strings to my heart each time I watch it.

[sooyeon101]

realllllllllllllyyyy good

[ShineLikeFireflies]

You did the wrong sign for 'miss,' just to let you know. The one you used was the physical kind of miss, rather than the emotion. But I like the video and the song, overall. :]

[cookiemonster51706]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[emyeuanhxo0]

lovee this videoo&songg !

[markoftheboard]

I love her voice, I like this version as much as the rock version

[jonny617]

good job guys keep it up i like the original song tho =]

[lalalamuleaccount]

Wow. You took a classic song and ruined it. What's next, a rap of "Somewhere over the Rainbow"?

[emiray]

like you can probably do any better. id like to hear your version of the beach boys. seriously, this song rocks.

[emiray]

Actually, they didn't take credit for this song. Sure they forgot to get an important liscence for it, but they made sure to remake it again and all is good. Okay, so apprently now I'm "narrow minded," but at least I don't spend my time replying to almost every single comment here. :)

[HoyEstoyPinoy]

amazing song and great video. fucking licensing rights though!

[alexis15]

that was good!

[LivedItHard]

Are one of them deaf or mute or something cuz they are using sign language (in vid) .. just curious

[capdasejb]

yeah. that guy is deaf. he lost his hearing. it shows him getting deaf . lol.

[LivedItHard]

Wish I can get the CD, but its sold out, DAMN

[thy288]

very meaningful... this video touched my heart

[Philo988]

yep it is very touching thy

[suzukagirl]

[2ylite808]

good stuff. good stuff.

[Jvaldezee]

hah fuck the guys who said they can't rap. apparenlty they ain't asian. fuck that gangster shit, i don't care about smoking, i don't care about that shit. im a bboy, so i have a better life then just shootin people for money. get your own fuckin money, then just joinin mobs and shit. rap ain't just black. rap is for anyone who can feel the beat and make a good song that mostly people will like of any kind, so people shouldn't be judemental. so all your fighting. just shut the hell up.

[phoebeinrye]

cool story and excellent performance. love you guys

[datghettoazn127]

Damn .. I love this group. And now they've joined with wong fu pro ? it just keeps getting better

[AnotherClich3]

Nah, I think WF just does random music vids for people. I wouldn't call it joining together. Then again, I don't really know.

[WellBigson]

WACK!

[JxStatus]

[killerX429]

[sasukeanimeroses79]

There is no such thing as "black" rap it's just plain rap.any ethnic group can do it.
