Freeway & Jake One - Know What I Mean

[StatenIzzy1]

stfu who ever says this is mainstream???u obviously are not listening...hes tellen how it is in th ehood and fire beat no tthe same mains†ream shit...freeway aint mainstream

[thcxlind]

niggaz...this....niggaz...that­...-.- shit this shit that... what the hell.. im sure you can rhyme more than that.

[geordie4toon]

Bit like Biggie smalls Ten crack comandments ?

[zinkerlove]

Pure Dopeness. 

[MrIlleism]

Wonder if Jay-Z know what he means or even bumps this?? :)

[impatientp]

@MrIlleism Jay obviously respects freeway, why would he sign him to rocafella if he thought he was wack?

[MrIlleism]

@impatientp maybe cause he is NOT SIGNED to roc-a-fella so obviously Jay doesn't respect Freeway! And Beanie is not on the label no more either if you thought he respected him aswell!!! Second, I was a bit ironic in my comment meaning if he bumps this good hiphop shit bc to me Jay is whack! I'm just a fan and not a rapper, incase you thought I was hating! Read UP!

[impatientp]

@MrIlleism Nah dude you must have taken it the wrong way, I was just saying. Of course I know he's not on rocafella anymore, that would be pretty big new to miss. All I meant was, Jay obviously liked him at SOME point in time.

[joojoobomb]

@MrIlleism Jay's far from wack. Go buy Reasonable Doubt and get back to me.

[MrIlleism]

@joojoobomb I never said Jay-Z was whack, and I already bought Reasonable Doubt when it came out in 96... I also happen to believe this Dj Premier production with Jay-Z is a deadly combination, similar to the Big L song! Now, why dont you learn to read and get back to me when you've done so, or even perhaps moved out your moms basement. Excuse my english, not my first language!

[rascal874]

he's on rhymesayers because the label needed at least 1 non-nerd rapper hahahaha.. much love to brother ali though...

[FnFChris]

@rascal874 What the hell? "Non-Nerd rapper"? Just because there lyrics go over your head doesnt make them nerds it makes you stupid.

[SubwayZombie]

Why is this dude on Rhymesayers?

[inshepherdswetrust]

@SubwayZombie right? this sounds like mainstream hip hop

[FloridaCashEnt]

a song with meaning to it listen up....real talk

[420jayo]

SO FAR THE CUT OF THE YEAR!!!! SUPER BANGER!!!! THANKS JAKE ONE FOR THE SLAPS, AND FREEWAY SPITIN HARDCORE LYRICS!!!

[JGoodie02]

Now I'm a big Freeway fan and I'm a big Felt fan, also a big Atmosphere fan but I thought saying that would be redundant, yet Freeway caters to such a different side of taste of mine in rap that I can't understand how he's on Rhymesayers Ent.

I haven't had the chance yet to listen to the Jake One and Freeway album so did Freeway step it up lyrically or his vocab still limited nigga this bitch that?

[gangstabizkits]

this is crack

[jonkol121]

too bad it only lasts 2 minutes MAKE IT 20 MINUTES ! ! ! !

its so fucking good it gives me hope hiphop might not be dead

[420jayo]

@jonkol121 THAT IS THE ONLY HANGUP, IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT

JAKE ONE BIGUPPPPPPPPP

[JohnnySack187]

RhymeSayers did an awful job with the CD packaging. I can't even close the fucking booklet!

[thatladfromsheffield]

ha ha

[layedout72]

its not stickied too strong, loosen the paper band and wrap it around and put it how tight you want. worked for me.

[ceasewon]

lol

[sammmy786]

freeway is just too raw

[Gapstastic]

Freeway has been dope. Always wondered why he never got too much play on the Roc. Funny story though. i saw him a while back in miami and he is not as big as he looks in videos

[garciasangre]

never really got into freeway but this shit right here has got me waiting for the album more and more every fuckin day!!! shit is sounding too fuckin nice

[KMIL84]

This shit is hot! and mad true

[stophousegroup]

Boom boom. This album is going to be amazing.

[KorrectErra]

It is, trust me

[monstirdabest2]

yo check out yo gotti son at 0:30 to 0:40 lol

[KMIL84]

dat aint no damn yo gotti

[MrSleepySheep]

1:03-donovan mcnabb cameo haha

[RedLazer3133]

anyone got the lyrics to this ?

[amplifysoul]

I cant wait for this album, I know its going to be sick but im still scratching my head about the Birdman feature? lol

[Leetho]

From previous resource (not sure if it still apply) freeway is affiliated with cash money and was gonna sign with them to release his own label free money with them. Of course it is old news so I don't know how solid it is about him signing with them now.

[Kinguppercut]

I cant stop listening to this song.

[virusjc1]

"I'm the MC with the hammer that is too legit to quit." I find this line to be hysterical. Brings it all back to 1991 when MC Hammer put out the album "Too legit to quit." Good wordplay. Great production on the track.

[Crazylilnigger]

anyone know will that album be avaiable to buy in Poland?

[OnMy88Shit]

hot track.. sample was used for a beat on joell ortiz debut album too.. dopeness

[zomot33]

he sounds better than when he was on rockafella

[drphilbboy]

Freeway & Ali go way back.. love this shit! Jake one & Free are like pork & apple sauce! mmmm-mmmm gooooood!

[BeachRaps]

dope, You know what I mean...

**BEACH**

[Raftahman]

They coud've done a 12 mins track on this beat...

Jake One, Rhymesayers, straight dope.

[JohnnySack187]

My Stimulus Check shipped today!

[BunkNasty]

@tehroflcopt3r

Go die in a fire.

[d37EST]

lol at maz's comment

[MazArmageddon]

Rap snitches, tellin all they business. Put em in court they be their own star witness....

[ORANGEBOX91]

haha sihkkk,,

[303gRAfwRitER]

Do you see the perpetrator, yeah i'm right here. Fuck around get the whole label sent up for years...

yo good look.. had to bump this joint real quick!

[manguap]

@MazArmageddon nice, i gonna steal that line lol

[74DOOMSDAY]

@manguap thats a MF DOOM/mr. fantastik line

[MrIlleism]

@MazArmageddon who dropped that line??

[TEHWEEZY]

@MazArmageddon Its story telling, dumbass. Stop listening so hard?

[ShadowNinja215]

@TEHWEEZY Dumbass? He knows this is dope, he knows who he's fucking with. He likes the song and that's all that matters.

[Junglist1996]

@MazArmageddon mf doom - rap snitch knitches

[biglalways]

@MazArmageddon MF DOOM.

[epremzroller]

dued this beat is sick but i swear i cant listen to Freeways wack ass rhymes and horrible flow what the fuck is he thinkin?

[wylinonwax]

Pretty dope beat but what is Freeway doing on Rhymesayers...?

[bowmancrb]

"bitches will kill you and then be there for your wake" lyrics are raw, honest and mean something....most excellent.

[iluddyproductions]

@bowmancrb

you trip me the fuck out i keep running in to you.

[andrewmilam]

Dope shit.

[Olerudmusic]

Tight video

[darkknight5456]

lol freeway says nigga entirely to much but this shit is dope nonetheless

[chubbywater]

@darkknight5456 I feel you man - Whats wrong with this song is the same shit thats wrong with Joe Budden's Stained song - Fallin' onto a weak rhyme scheme. Nevertheless one of my fav. emcees - I frequently rock freeway in the club - but freeway + rhymesayers is still fire even if he ends a line the same way 5 - 10 times. Rhymesayers + Freeway both bring Realness appeal... so Im listening anyways. - Peace yall

[vulgarmastermind]

@darkknight5456

the fact that you said lol and entirely shows you are a priviledged human being who has little concept of other peoples shoes and how they tred. dude knows exactly what he's saying. too much for ya?

[wanpopstikle]

@darkknight5456 real OG

[kidcalledcomputer]

Damn this is FIRE!!

[SeherCinema]

this video is dope. Especially that pidgeon shot

[vollhorst17]

Freeway and Jake one

This is just some perfect chemistry!!!

[MarkerMoore]

Dope

[Newcreeus1977]

Fucken Rhymesayers always comin out with some hot shit! This track is fucken ILL! Freeway spittin hot shit! Beat is off the hook!

[cwants]

this is the dopest tune in a very long long long time!!!

the beat is strictly murder and freeway I got tired of, but he seems to have changed his voice box and flow a little, and I really love this ish!

5/5 stars!

[theartistbeforeyou]

haha cameraman got some fame 0:21

[revolutionary209]

freeway is the 50 cent of rhymesayers.. kinda..haha, eh not hating..its cool

[djslipdisk]

Killer kung fu sounding snare and kick.

This is fucking nice.

[ZohanJr]

the only reason jake one is doing stuff with freeway is so he can get closer to jay-z because jake one always wanted to do work with him so thats why theyre having this collab, haha jus playin, but he does wanna work with jay-z

[MrMichaelaee]

@ZohanJr

Who dosn't ???

[atmosp7]

make no mistake son, its jake one. he makes beats well, like i like my stakes done!

[JiggaWizzaht]

@atmosp7 Get er' Done!

[d2thh725]

thick?

[knowgostick]

everyone has their own tastes and preferences, but to say that freeway doesn't have skills is ignorant. could he have done better? prolly.

either way, i'm still digging the flow. and i think the song was dope from both ends. free's talking real shit, not just "bang bang, watches watches, bling bling". people hear words, but don't understand messages.

[wpsyclone]

Know What I Mean----->THE ANSWER IS NO.

[MusicMan6419]

Can some one tell me if Brother Ali is blind? Plz

[wpsyclone]

he's not blind...:))

[dabomb1357]

Hes legally blind which means 20/200 vison or worse, but he's not completley blind.

[MaSoisSoful]

Doom should be the MC for this.

[hypebeasttt]

never was really a big fan of freeway, but this is pretty nice.

jake one is ridiculous

[freowbud]

Same thing wit me. Not a huge fan of freeway. But this song is nice. Great production

[coocoocal42]

The production on this is BIG

[botezalexandru]

one little comment and all the fire in the world comes out..chill, relax..first of all it's the internet and any major or minor league production house and record company relates on the reactions of a specific targeted fan base here. of course there will be comments like these, it's natural and the industry will stay the same. what makes me sad is the way people react nowadays to other people's opinions. being rude, throwing dirt at eachother it's not part of the cultural movement we follow.

[wpsyclone]

unii oameni sunt tzarani :)) nu are rost sa mai discute lumea cu ei...te fac backpacker :))

[rock962000]

clean ass quality

[dude5151]

bumpin

[TwofortythreeSL]

Dope!

[j5mikey]

Worst comments ever. sandalrockers.

[TheBlankie]

dude needs to shave the abe lincoln beard

[ripmeast21]

Amazing beat, but Freeway is an awful lyricist.

If Freeway produced this, then he needs to stick to that. If Jake One is the one who made it, try signing him and only him to Rhymesayers and we'll be good lol.

[MDIGENNARO]

Jake One destroys it on this beat.....

[NTBsquad]

great beat Jake!!!!

[tlink1993]

this dude just doesn't have very good lyrics. so much repetition and overuse of the same words. and about an issues only a handful of people can truly understand.

[elG2N500]

I think it's easy for people to dislike what Freeway is trying to do because we are not growing up in hood or whatever. Maybe if we did our opinions would be different.

[crmega05]

you 4real check out song freeway called change easy....... one love

[crmega05]

Like i said Freeway son that old joint obama shit back in the day was tight bro

[mrbombastico]

all the whining is pathethic, this is just sick

[polycysticovaries]

I just realized how dumb these lyrics are...

[amongthesleep]

they keep this shit up they will have to change there name to Niggersayers

[dougfunny2012]

they shittin on muthafuckas...

people gonna hate thats what they there for...

i get my little backpack on but i still dig the drugs and guns shit people hate on... i just dont like the bullshit 106 and all them corny stations play... TV and radio alike

[ali2i6]

Dope track and vid.

And to you all you backpacking internet thugs, nobody gives a shit what you think about RSE putting out his latest album.

[SayGnE]

dope beat without a doubt!

this song aint nothin special tho..

"step up your thought game"

[julianfairbanks]

Listen Bro's

Freeway and Jake are ILL.

This album is sick.

[aicfnm]

I'm glad Rhymesayers is branching out and putting out stuff by cats like Freeway. I'm sorry that some seem to have put themselves into a little box where all Hip-Hop has to be backpacker rap and what not. Plus Jake One is a dope producer, I'm excited for the album.

[BostonCeltic77]

freeways a hood dude ... how can you compare this to atmosphere or aesop rock? rhymesayers is obviously trying to branch out by putting out this project ... don't be a herb, this shit goes

[JacobBroesder]

Good luck selling this album RSE

[danowensyou]

Wow looks like Freeway got all the backpackers upset

[harcomg]

@danowensyou, hahaha heroic shit.

[superbacon321]

what happened to creativity...

[axioms22]

This is complete shit and it makes me sad to see it on a great label that I support. Comparing this shit to Aesop, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, this guy is so bad. It's sad too because this is a dope beat, too bad the lyrics suck. No creativity, saying nigger 500 times. The video is played out and stupid: the hood gangsta video, man, I've never seen that before. And look at this motherfucker's beard, I had no clue the Amish look is in. Fucked up whack-ass bitches. Give me all your hate now.

[tomthebomb93]

yeah man that's how i feel but he's on a lot of ali's tracks.

[jordash1212]

@axioms22

He can't bring that kind of music to RSE and expect people to like it. I feel like Freeway has better to offer. I don't have any interest in listening nigga this and rhyming "shit" with "shit" and talking about drugs and guns and stuff. The video is cliche even though it's been better produced and more artistic with the camera shots and stuff. And for the record, he's Muslim, that's why he's got that beard going.

[harcomg]

@axioms22, i see youve listened to slug quite alot... all crying and shit. oh, how i hate close-minded backpack faggots on the internet.

[amongthesleep]

@harcomg oh how i hate narrow-minded lyrics about the hood..i was over that shit before 8th grade. Freeways got a cool voice and this beat is rad as fuck, BUT i could name 50 rappers that could have done so much more with it. Freeway is not popular enough sell records to people he used to sell them to.not without some auto tuned shit. That fan base has moved on to a much shittier brand of "music". And he is not gonna sell records a ton to the backpackers that are in to jake one,lyrics-r-weak

[harcomg]

jake one has always been producing tracks for the likes of 50 cent, prodigy/product of the 80's and stuff. all kinds of things that backpackers don't dig. i don't see the problem at all. just let rhymesayers release this. it won't change anything about the music atmosphere and brother ali and the likes are putting out, will it?

[botezalexandru]

still filming videos in a rented Range while doing a lazy neighbourhood round showing how cool and tough you are? be creative, please!

[swiftdaggas]

@botezalexandru

seriously man.... i really agree with you

[botezalexandru]

this reminds me of The Roots satirization on the 'golden' era of rap videos, it''s called "What they do", very funny.

[covertempire]

DOPE!!!!!!!!!

[panelolli]

nice beard mofo

[knick9]

Just what we need: more recycled hood advice that maintains the status quo.

[aesopk]

@knick9 - the younger generation needs it too... beats having them think hip hop is all dance songs and club hits

[JayMann620]

It's sad that, that's what Mainstream hip-hop has come to. Every new Hip-hop song on the radio is a new dance.

[swiftdaggas]

@aesopk

yeah

[The2ndKrezzz3]

@knick9 rap music and hip hop is one in the same. as long as the rhymes are good, then you shouldnt complain. its not like he is raping about how to do the latest dance. spitting the hot rhymes is whats it about.

[PURE216EVIL]

That beard is EPIC !

[MrJonny66]

Get'em Freeway....chea!

[wpsyclone]

you're taking RSE down!

stop rhyming about the hood, drugs & bling

where is your personlity? spineless

[harcomg]

hahaha, a typical response from a rhymesayersfanboy. go cry about it, just like your favourite rapper. you know, slug.

[wpsyclone]

@harcomg slug is not my favourite, but i'm bored of the same topic...money...bla bla bla

[aesopk]

@wpsyclone - it's all still a part of hip hop man... there's always room for variets and labels that dont have it are what's wrong with hip hop

[wpsyclone]

@aesopk that is true
