  • i bought this cd n i never knew there was a video for this or ghetto rock

  • that is some pure goodness

    love listening to it in my car full bass

  • ...You MUST have come up with that list just to piss people off or get a response!! lol (not really)

  • Are you kidding me, soulja boy is the worst rapper i have ever heard you must be really retarted to think hes one of the best rappers and Akon is not a rapper, he's a singer......

  • fucking idiot

  • hahaha soulja boy and mike jones this guy must be on crack. wheres Jay Z, tupac, Biggie and Snoop Dogg

  • u mustve been trippin on E to come up wid a list like that

  • This song is hott. Good shit. Mos Def really put it on this beat, love it. Skills

  • dont front

  • Awesome Rapper, great actor

  • MC not Rapper. Soulja Boy is a rapper, Mos Def is an MC. Very underated actor too

  • hes a fuckin sick actor, he fuckin killed it in sixteen blocks

  • Honestly I think he sucked in 16 blocks....BUT (before ya'll crucify me) it was a poorly written character to start. He has the ability to be a great actor given the right role in the right movie but he needs the opportunity to be able to put the same insight into his acting he does in his music. 16 blocks seemed like an intro to the acting game for him. hopefully next time he gets a more interesting character.

  • ////

  • ya well im no motha fuckin theological directore or nothin like that but i did like dat movie very much, specially when he held the gun up to the cops head and was like how you like it motha fucka, one of the best parts in the whole movie,

  • he was in a movie and did great at it he was the "one ear deaf" guy in the "Italy job" i think that was the name of it.anyway he did great as a nigga that loves to blow shit up but he needed more camera time

  • old school :)

  • skills!

  • skills!

  • dis is a fat beat! mos def killed it still

  • da hOra mOs dEf !!

  • Mos Def in the strip club..lol

  • Best rapper ffs this guy is sick

  • thanks for your answer;), you're right. i think- we have a similar taste- i like common- aspecially this song"I want you"- it drives me crazy! Talib and mos are also very important to me.

  • Mos Def is ill.

  • THE OBOE FOR THE THICK HOE.

  • what do you think? who make stil a real good hip hop?

  • patisdrnkr theres no need to be all smart-ass about it. You don't need to show the youtube world how much you 'love' rap. Some people take music too serious and most take it for granted. The best rappers are the ones that stay true to themselves.

  • real good hip hop is

    mos, talib, common

    among raekwon, ghost, red and meth, joe budden, joell ortiz, nas, jay, az, little brother check those out

  • sex drugs and money 4-real.

    sas-one -010-

  • ....u didnt know that? rofl

  • Just fucking distasteful you dumb bastard fuck you!

  • dumbass for life!!

  • Hot Hip Hop

  • MOS DEF

  • Yo, wouldn't it be mad dope if Big L, Biggie, Tupac, Big Pun, Eazy-E, ODB and Freaky Tah were still alive and they came back, put out mad albums and murdered Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Soulja Boy etc. Just a thought.

  • I would LOVE to see that. and hear that. Hip hop is dead. but add Nas to the list with biggie, tupac, freaky tah ect. Nas is good shit, so is wu-tang, and eminem. Everyone else, should die. :)

  • It would be "mad dope" if people stopped "murdering" altogether and just focus on making good music.

  • The look on his face at the end is priceless!!!Like what the heck happened here last night?

  • gret... but why is there a "spaten" commercial in the back on the wall at 2:40???? Is he a fan of the great munich beer ???????

  • Wow i didnt even notice that.

  • i think as an mc we should be open to dabbel in all types of music, but i just aint feelin this vibe from mos def. 2 many rappers are givin of this look...home boy should stay doin what he does best.

  • word

  • Mos is a true hip hop genius,,

  • A clever, cool guy - kinda has an old school flavour in his approach to hip hop. Luv im!

  • this makes me sad. selling out?

  • this isn't selling out, look at the end of the song...you obviously do not understand the meaning of the song! He shows regret and disgust at the end of the song.

  • Aint selling out,fool.Mos loves his women(check miss fat booty!!).He got 5 kids stupid.That woman obviously grinding for her kid.

    Then again mos got more money than all the studio gangstas.Check his movie roles and start counting.Ever heard him talk about how many movies he did????He humble,no bling,no bullsh*t

  • this tune is tha don of all tracks u bes belive!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • U must not overstand the msg. its a combo of sex, love and money.

    Once u put the 3 2gether.

  • n danceree iz. The comment is about the msg., not the word emal.

  • He is being sarcastic. Just like Black iz Black, pokin' fun of rappers who think they are gangsters.

  • listen to the lyrics man.

  • thsi aint'mos def

    it just doesn't make sense for him to rap this

    whatever

  • who is it then?

  • no words...pamparampapam parampam...whisteling...great

  • that blank stare defines the feeling that sex love and money gives u in the end result. what about katrina clap, mathmatics, respiration! 2 judge him for one song ( in which he is poking fun at major artist) would not make sense

  • I think people are missing the point. It's not a song about sex for teh sake of sex - it's about sex, love and money. When those ideas come together in one place you have something seedy and his lyrics and expression at the end of the clip is a reflection on the seediness. It's a comment on society and desire. Not sex for sex's sake.

  • And he got a wife at the begginin who asks the kids what they want for dinner haha very loyal and respectful i must say, while his wife's at home cookin the dinner!

  • He's out pervin!

  • Shit song, good lookin guy knw but i only think he hot! in the Alicia keys vid 'you dont know my name' when he looks like a respectful gentleman. Whithout proseys wiv tits and arse out haha u wouldnt see a classy lady like alicia keys doin tht no way!

  • lol... im sure alicia will do sumthin in the future..

  • Mos Def is the definition of real hip hop. He don't give a fuck, he just makes what he wants. Bet he gets more respect from the hip hop world then most of ya so called top 40 pop wanksta rappers

  • its called art......

  • "selling out"?

    really how many more albums is he selling now?

    talk bout what you know not what you think you know

  • ms. fat booty = sex love and money

    there is no difference between his subject matter then or now.

  • mos still makes REAL music. it just has a different sound than his past works. i swear hip hop fans are the most fickle people on earth.

  • i thought that the flute in the beat was sick. it reminded me of The Boondocks theme. Mos is my man!

  • mos def - one of the best lyricists ever his flow is redic one of my fav of all time for sure

  • I really like the groove in this tune.

  • like the others said there's obviously a deeper meaning.open your mind..idiots.

  • OK the video is political SATIRE, at the end Mos Def is empty, sex love & money wasn't fulfilling in the end, stop saying he sold out just because you never learned to read between the lines!

  • hehe ye. would be intresting to see 50 Cent wake up hungover in the "candyshop"

  • MOS DEF!!!!!!

  • i dont really get this video

  • yup..true

  • Omfg these stupid fucks sayin that mos def is a sell out are so dumb. Do you retards know how sarcastic this song is? at the end he feels likes shit about doing what he done. He isnt a fucking sell out.

  • hes the best...

  • yeah i agree. mos's new album is really disappointin. yeah i want black star 2 cum back but i must say mos's greatest achievment as an artist is definetily black on both sides

  • yo personally i neeeeeed!  another Blackstar album! i think not only me but hip hop as well

  • Mos is Definitely one of my favourites; and I like this.

    I mean why not have a change from the norm, 'tis how things expand. Not his usual theme and I think it's good. Nice one Mos.

  • love the ending such great meaning to it

  • I love Ford Prefect.

  • Haha, the first time i heard this song was like 2 days ago when my white friends was bumpin it on lunch break n band camp n the hallway lol.

  • All u dumbasses thinkin mos def sold out ur just that dumb. if anything hes one of the only solid artists who have a point today an if u listen youd understand the mssge

  • the whole song is to prove a point, the 3 things that can curropt a mans mind, or what hiphops about today all of you who say hes a sellout have no idea what your talking about considering it ends hes feeling guilty about all that happened and to think he sold out points out very blaintly to me you really don't understand any of his music

  • thank god for that end part where hes all guilty

    i was like i aint never seen this side of mos before

  • \/thats real, he obviously wakes up the next morning with guilt in his mind...think about the situation, i feel like this is an obvious portrait of how those 3 things can change a person or at least entice a person to the point where they do things that they did not intend to and end up with regret in their hearts....anybody that is a true fan of Mos Def would understand that instead of commenting negatively about him

  • a true fan would know that thats not what Mos Def is about...with that loud title its an obvious sign b/c to be real thats what the majority of any other 'rap' song is about....if not love, always sex and money

  • If you pay close attention you will realize theres a deeper meaning to this tracks. Just watch the last 10 seconds and youll see what i mean

  • thankx 4 selling out mos, i guess the business is really ALL bout money, wat a pity

  • i think it was satire, b/c at the end he looks at his hotel room and he looks sad or empty. read b/t the lines, he hasn't sold out.

  • do u even kno wat mos USE to rap about b4? if u think this is even somewhat deep, you have NO idea how amazing mos was to the game WITHOUT selling out. fuck the money...im talking REAL HIP-HOP

  • yes i'm familiar with Mos past and present work, i have True Magic in my CD player right now. He still the same conscious mc but he definately is showing his versatility

  • i respect that, but u have to admit he has sold out, versatility and selling out is TWO very different things, one is talent the other is about the faloose

  • Do you even know what Mos was rhyming about before? He was a NAtive Tongue cat... JIMBROWSKI, Buddy, The Booty, Hot Sex on the Platter... all of them talked about gettin' ass on those tracks. Just because he talks about a hottie doesn't belittle the cats skillz or relativity to hip-hop. That ain't selling out. When you become celibate, then come talk about selling out!

  • you are pretty damn slow.

  • u r pretty damn gay

  • Your mother.

  • FUCK THE FOLLOWING RAPPERS...COMMON, NAS,TALIB KWELI MOS DEF,THE ROOTS, DEAD PREZ, ZION I,AND ALL THE CONCIOUS RAPPERS MAKING GOODY-GOODY MUSIC..THEY FUCKING PUSSY'S...SHOUT OUT TO REAL NIGGAS...50, YOUNG BUCK,TIP ,TRU LIFE,CUBAN LINK AND WEEZY..

    you dig!

  • fuck all the following:

    Modisway, who seems to be either a fuckin' baby or an idiot, 50, Young Buck, TIP, Tru Life....

    fuck ya'll

  • I guess the point of you spamming this video is so that you want us to know your their (50, Buck etc) #1 fan who isn't getting a dime for spamming us right? But somehow your negativity is going to convince us to forget about Mos etc etc and come over to whatever you listen to....

    Bottom line is "there will always be haters that's the way it is hater n___'s marry hater bitches and have hater kids" -K. West

  • What are you talking about? All Hood people aren't the ones on the corner selling drugs...an I don't know if you read but if you did you would know that people like kweli and common hang with Tip and 50 stop the seperation its hiphop...which is part party an part education an none of the artist you named on either side are the cause of it dying...get ya mind right

  • wtf is this son seriously though

  • Probably a young person haha like 13 LOL!

  • they same way you can call your self christian or cathlic or jewish in islam we answer only to god and not man

  • i like mos def and all, but how can he get away with calling himself a Muslim while making videos like this?

  • Einer der besten und geilsten Sound Songs mit hammergeilen Rap Text

    THE BEST !!

  • Hmm, playa films a video with a couple dozen strippers, and now he d-i-v-o-r-c-e-d. Hate the game, indeed, bro. Y'all best be rememberin who be home wit da kids while you out getting you face in it, yo.

  • That's true.

  • i love this song to death!!

  • dude! great song and video

  • you do have to appreciate his political sarire

  • This is the only song of his I don't like because it's repetive. I'm a real huge fan of his though.

  • seems more like a 50 mv...but the song is way better den all of 50's songs together

  • i kno lol i can't believe they didn't do a better video for such a good song

  • yea...this video is a bit off, but its mos def so ima let it ride

  • love the song, hate the video.

  • ya DOGG THATs what i was sayin to my homie t-boner

  • why he gotta be a sellout, he kept it nyc and his flow is the same as in his classics what do you guys expect him to do a politically conscious and social awareness video everytime. Damn let him do his thing and stop putting the artist in a box.

  • thank you brandon, DAMN!

  • Well, it is socially conscious, to a point. It shows how empty that type of lifestyle really is. It's just not as direct and to the point as his earlier works.

  • Someone wants money, I think. A bit of a sellout.

  • that song iz the stuff!monster mo

  • thanks! I didn't even know there was a video for this. I love this song.

  • AmAzing!

  • modern classic

  • mighty mos...

  • hot!!
