My neck hurts....thanks premo!!

[PRODUCTionsFT]

@RealHipHopEire32

aha

[FreedomIsInTheMind]

Well, I'll say it then...music taps into your soul.

If you listen to dudes that talk about reaching physical chemical reactions (like sex) then all you're gonna do is tap into that part of your soul..... just run around chasing the physical and ignorning the internal. So we got a society today that chases materialistic and physical highs..keep consuming cuz the new becomes old and we all need the newest and illiest to be the coolest.

This is healthy for the soul. Facts. No pretending

[elliuso]

@FreedomIsInTheMind i like you insights.. very fundamental

[KenzoPenzion]

good god thats good



[SirenRapMusic]

You ain't messing with that "Bucka! Bucka! Bucka! Bucka! Bucka! BUCKA!".

[ToJ01978]

"When the average minimum wage is $5.15, you best believe you gotta find a new grind to get green"

Best line I have heard in quite a while. This is just as powerful as when it came out more than a decade ago.

[DatKidSativaTV]

They need more music like this nowadays...

Check out my channel if you agree

[KimoIsKing]

@DatKidSativaTV I went to your channel, saw you posted the same spam comments on like 20 vids, I clicked on on "Roll the Windows Up" and heard you rapping about your car, popping bottles in the club, and "getting fucked'. Go spam somewhere else.

[DatKidSativaTV]

@KimoIsKing You obviously picked the one song you expected to have generic material in. Listen to the recent ones you'll see my style is not about having a car or popping bottles in the club, but rather it was only that one song. And yes I spam comments, hate on a nigga for tryin, what you doin besides watchin? Nuff said, peace

[jako34]

how can you be that smart?

[sharpdull]

1 sick producer + 1 sick rapper = 1 sick song

[gerardom420]

[MrTambo420]

@roycephantom4me dont even acknowledge Wacka fans, they should be embarassed to admit they listen to him

[unrealwazza]

I CANT HEAR YOUR QUARRELS OVER THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC

[kchoodsta]

if i ever get to be a millionaire i will be bumpin this in my fuckin Lambo!! str8 up never sellout!!

[shufflebeardog]

only if money was subtracted from this world, then more heart would be added to art. the result would be more awsome shit like this...

[enriquemdma420]

lol all these people saying fuck mainstream..lol like you don't listen to it

[MrPancakeThief]

@enriquemdma420 Specifially, we're talking about Lil Wayne, Troop 41 or other shit like that. Some of them have a couple good singles, like Eminem, Kanye or Lupe Fiasco, who in my opinion is the only good rapper nowadays. I can't listen to J. Cole, but that could just be my personal preference.

[RealHipHopLives4Eva]

@MrPancakeThief

I can't listen to J.Cole, prefer Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Beanie Sigel over him.

[JazzzPianist]

@enriquemdma420 One things is listening to it, a whole other thing is respecting it and appreciating it. Mos Definitely one of the best tracks I know this one, btw. Peace out

[173jaSon371]

@enriquemdma420 ...we dont, any mainstream rap, hip hop, or even anything else, is complete garbage with no thought put into it, anyone can write that shit themselves

[chargordon11]

@enriquemdma420 actually i really dont. it sucks.

[banshek7]

help me rap mos def. I mean you already have but come see me.

[mattman1991]

'young bloods cant spell but will rock you at playstation'. Rhymes like these show how powerful the medium of rap can be at expresseing social injustices. Not to mention, its an amazing type of music when at its best; as it is now.

[trricker]

aawww yeah this is some good shit! should have found this way earlier!

[dozebooze]

gotta go find joifd0000's comment now...

[idderz]

thumbs up if you listened till the end :P

[RustyDustyPewPew]

I never liked hiphop, but this. Amazing.

[Svudin]

Mos Def is just now becoming famous?!

[MrCooliovonhoolio]

@ObnoxiousTeens lol nah,people in NY know him well.

[MrAlienFunk]

yea its a shame reading under all the good ol rap songs comments with fkn LIL WAYNE

ppl.... get of his dick. i never listened to a song of him, and ill never do

if yall think hes wack, stop supportin him. all he wants is to get talk about. and u all suckin his dick.<<<< MOS DEF n PREMIER = great combo!

[methlabrat]

The poet of out time.



[TheSicdic]

Mos Def is the lyric genious !

[Prattrick1]

First comment i see is a bitchy little wayne, comment, even though he does suck, we need to stop gettin so anal about some nigga tryin to make a livin, he aint hurtin nobobdy

[ThinkTink606432]

@Prattrick1 Yes he is, he is hurting my ears. While talented artist like Mos Def or Talib Kweli or even Lupe Fasico get pushed to the side as being to "smart" asses like him get grammy wins.

[INSM8]

addicted to this shiiit

[HulkHooligann]

This song is truly one of the shittiest I've heard in the past decade...

[SuperRated420]

@HulkHooligann

Why Is that if I may know?

[cbullen09]

@HulkHooligann Then you're a fucking retard.

[renob2020]

@HulkHooligann your not even a good troll its too obvious youre trolling. unless you are truly musically impaired.

[larswijnia]

Got this on vinyl! Great song!

[EmCeeMG]

this is one of the best rap songs of all time..

[jgvtc559]

HAHA NEGOS LATINOS N GRINGOS AHHAH

[roycephantom4me]

i figured shit out man...Wayne and the other rertards sell bcuz of the niggas from the South...they are the 95% of the buyers...thats right ppl them niggas from the south the majoraty are str8 retards thats why they are attracted to wack music..and another thing learn from me...dont ever ever ever ever in ur life start a debate with a Wacka Flocka fan...cuz u cant go lower than that...take it from someone who did that

[PKclan1]

@roycephantom4me you talk wet bruv!

[roycephantom4me]

@PKclan1 what ?

[roblogification]

i'm illuminati. you mad?

[2IAN4]

@roblogification nobody cares!

[lukecage92]

Whats funny is that with all this mainstream hate and underground love, why don't artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli and other "Unappreciated Greats" have platinum albums? Its because their fans are too busy giving more buzz about the negativity of other people's music than buying copies of their album. People are sheep. Follow the herd idiots

[avonasac12]

@lukecage92 If you honestly believe that.. your a retard and should get back in your box.. You answered your own question, they don't have platinum albums because they AREN'T MAINSTREAM so the sheeple people don't get to hear this = less sales. The bitter truth is that most people are stupid and will just take whats thrown at them by mainstream society. What the fuck is your point anyway? Everyone should just shut up and listen to the unoriginal mainstream shit? You should be sent to slaughter..

[lukecage92]

Nobody thought he was part of the illuminati then. Why now? Because he has money? When he speaks about God in his songs in a standpoint like he doesn't exist its because in a place where all your prayers go unanswered why would you believe in that? The illuminati may be real and he may be in it but why do y'all care? Music is Music. if its good to hell with the person making it. If its bad then you should have something to say.

[lukecage92]

Actually listen to lyrics don't just judge artists on what you hear. Lil wayne does have some songs with good lyrical content. And whoever says Jay-z doesn't say anything is retarded. Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper is probably Jay-z. He is one of the most lyrical artists in this day and people are going a bit overboard on this illuminati shit. He is a self-made black man that came from a small time drug dealer from Marcy Projects.

[avonasac12]

@lukecage92 In response to your other two comments (god you really are retarded);

"Lil Wayne does have SOME songs with good lyrical content".. Once again, making yourself look silly. I'd say 1/10 of his songs actually make any sense + okay lyrical content (if he even bothers) and he's dominating mainstream atm with SOME good songs... go figure?

ALSO, I agree some people go extra on the Jay-Z shit, but he brings it on himself with his satanic videos and he IS A FREEMASON, you don't know shit..

[DrizzttheSlayer24]

@avonasac12 Lol at jay-z being freemason.. pretty sure thats all just speculation..

[lukecage92]

@avonasac12 Unless you are a freemason don't pretend to understand it.and honestly i know alot about hip-hop seeing as i am an artist. Lil-wayne and Jay-z are great rappers. A hip-hop artist and a rapper are two different things. An artist does it for the love of the music and a rapper is just doing a job. Jay-z is the best rapper because he has the most money. You can have an opinion on who's the best artist. But, we all know who is doing the best job.

[avonasac12]

@lukecage92 coolstorybro

[X546DLF]

@lukecage92 p diddy got more money

[BenderB3030]

@lukecage92 thats a good piont of view but your a little off, the best "rappers" now focus on rapping around the beat and setting the tone for the beat they have and nothing to do with how good they are, take wayne, his beats are on piont but he cant reap for shit

[BenderB3030]

@BenderB3030 rap* just like i cant spell for shit. and by tone i mean the mood and feel the songs give off, its a psychological thing

[ndurrett19]

@lukecage92 i guess you read his bio, bought all his albums, etc.? Quit swinging. He's good but there are better artists than him.

[jono2111]

how have i never heard this till today...man

[LeDiskoLove99]

Ahh now this is good. Fuck mainstream bullshit. Lil Wayne my ass. These idiots have a thing or two to learn from real musicians.

[cmhonsu33]

@LeDiskoLove99 try telling that to my generation, they just wont listen!

[JackMCFCShaw]

@LeDiskoLove99 I prefer old school myself but answer me this, why is it cool to hate on the likes of Wayne and Drake? i mean, they must be doing something right to haven gotten where they are now both reputation and financially wise.....

[LeDiskoLove99]

@JackMCFCShaw For me it's not about a "cool" thing. I mean I get it, they're doing their thing great. It's just for me that music doesn't have any intergrity, I need a musician I can respect and that actually tells a story and talks about real life. Not about how much sex they get or how much money. So I don't say I hate their music because I think it's cool, I just find artists like mos def more respectable. = )

[DessytheArticulate]

@LeDiskoLove99 What Makes an Artist ? Is it there grind? Is it their Potential? Is it the amount of money they get paid per show? Is it just the songs they make? An Emcee is what Dessy Hinds is. Making a Great Record after Record. Exposing Intelligent Vocabulary through Flow, Rhythm and Rhyme with enough likeability for all. Type in Dessy Hinds-The Definition

[JackMCFCShaw]

@LeDiskoLove99 Most intellectual answer i have ever received, props to you sir. For the record i agree with you.

[Longshot32]

@LeDiskoLove99 listen to lupe fiasco

[BenderB3030]

@LeDiskoLove99 i agree, whats we're all forgetting is the hip hop is an art form and not a business for money, if the art and love isn't there but the tone is then its not hip hop. thats all that mainstream is, songs that set moods and nothing more, no skill no art and no love for it other then the money

[xxSpearMonkeyxx]

@HeavyGold26 it doesn't cause this shit blows understand?

[CJames410]

I accidentally clicked on a Jay-Z and Kanye video. It made me feel dirty so I had to come back here to clean myself off.

[HulkHooligann]

@CJames410 you like cleaning yourself with shit? thats weird ... and what purpose and a meaning this song has? Lmao its just so forced up shit lil wayne eats this bitch lyrically anyway altho I DON'T like lil wayne but still Mos Def sucks even more than Wayne

[CJames410]

@HulkHooligann You are speaking such non sense. Who are your favorite artists?

[frusciantefan122]

@CJames410 watch the throne sucks but kanye and jay z are legends.

[CJames410]

@frusciantefan122 Jay Z might have been a legend if he never sold out to make music that appealed to the masses, and have you actually listened to most of his lyrics? Trash. As for Kanye, he is the most self-absorbed prick I've ever seen or heard.

[frusciantefan122]

@CJames410 sorry but listen to kanyes first two albums if you want soul. he may be an egotistical prick but he knows how to make a beat.

[CJames410]

@frusciantefan122 I can't even listen to the new shit they are coming out with. No soul in their music.

[zico739]

@CJames410 Wow, shut up.
