[bekasings]

Wow this is beautiful

[lalocTdot]

what album or mixtape was this on?

[joanshanitaify]

@lalocTdot " the beautiful struggle" by kweli. it's an album

[BronzeEmpress]

Love this track x

[GoGetaFR1]

Tsidi Ibrahim all the way from SA...YEAH!

[DatLadyBitchKilla]

I'm mexican.... Awkward?

[lovelychicsteph1019]

I'm not black but damn, I love this song. I feel it.

[Gust619]

best song I ever heard

[pdammatt78]

Great song. No matter if you are black or white this song should make you open your eyes!

[MsELJackson]

This is undoubatly one of the meaningful songs ever written! lyrics are a beautiful slap on the face. much appreciated...Jean Grae = beautiful soul!

[TaariiB]

This song seriously brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. I wish we spent more time helping and supporting one another instead of competing and hatin. We need to unite. We are more powerful when we stand together!

[DBlockn05]

Mama said they will be days like this...

[sogansta10]

I love this song . Proud to be black. I feel this on my bones

[clairearchnemesis]

@sogansta10 Me too. <3

[stillnotlovinnpolice]

mmm so good

[MyJunior1975]

The mystery is what song was sampled on this track. Midi Mafia filtered out the bass, sped up the sample and played it backwards!!!! I guess they really wanted to keep this one a secret, LMAO!!!!!

[GwazaJuse]

Greasy kills Kweli so bad. But I guess that's not really unusual. Her verse is so beautiful on this.

[theworldneedhiphop50]

yo somebody today was joking around calling me a white girl yo and realrap i was not feeling that

[JJBolaWriterPoet]

If I'm blessed to have a daughter, she will know this song.

[jamiedw21]

its sad this guy doesnt get the recognition he truly deserves. i guess real rap takes a backseat to the fake shit

[KiloWadz]

Jean Grae is the greatest female MC. I can listen to her music all day. Representing South Africa.... that's whassup

[BLADE471000]

@KiloWadz IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU AND I HAVE THE SAME NICKNAMES AND SAME LIKING FOR GRAE. MY NICK-NAME IS KILOWAT THOUGH

[KiloWadz]

@BLADE471000 Oh wow that's great man even though I thought that nickname was exclusive to me as it was given to me by my cousin

[BLADE471000]

@KiloWadz Well it isn't man. But may God keep us all in love and faith

[Kfire1204]

They cant play this on the radio..its too real..but they can  bump that young jeezy-white girl smh...

[dtgray1]

@Kfire1204 you are so on point with your observation and comment. thank you. peace

[k4rstizzz]

To be honest, I think Talib Kweli must be the best rapper when it comes to serious and important themes! I can't belive that so many useless and superficial rappers are both hotter and more famous than the great artists like this :(

[Dre36]

0.40 - 0.50

Looove the way that drops! 

[rizzar0]

One Of The Best Hip-Hop Songs Ever.

[BeamingSplendor]

This is beautiful.

[jhbboy1]

i'm so proud of jean grae...capetown, south africa stand up!!! if i neva heard it i'd neva believe that she out shines talib on this track!!!

[ThaSubzstance]

JEAN GRAE HANDS DOWN THE BEST EVER FEMALE. RAPPING BESIDE THE TRUTH IN HIP HOP, KWELIII!!!!!

[MusiicBabyGurl]

Does anyone know where to find "The One Step" - Jean Grae

[newtowndon]

FREE LIL BOOSIE!!!!!!!

[eggiethapimp]

real music for us black people. stand strong to all that listen and educate yourself and our children. uplift the young black youth! we all we got!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZTOID]

@eggiethapimp Why do you have to associate music with race? C'mon...

[stillnotlovinnpolice]

@ZTOID because race is important and specific to how we are socialized in this fucked up world. of course at the end of the day fuck race, but for now race is still important and relevant and dictates a lot of our lives.. of course if you are white it is different because race is the dominant hegemonic race, meaning it is seen a the natural or normal race and black brown asian etc is seen as the "other" in the US. never think race doesn't matter you will just come off as ignorant to a lot of ppl

[bro911mh]

Brotha Talib keep uplifting our people! We Need It... THANX

[unarctic]

Fook @ this song. Talib -> One of the greatest artists ever ! Jean Grae probably the best female mc EVER! Man i had totally forgotten about her.

[romancemurders]

music brings happiness and everybody keeps on complaining about who's the greater artist. Its sad. But I'm just gonna keep listening.

I do it for the peopIe. I do it for the LOVE ...

[IIJubJubII]

yeah black power spread it, then we can stop racism..

clowns.....

[myfunnyvidz]

@IIJubJubII Internalized racism, read up on it fool.

[IIJubJubII]

@myfunnyvidz u know what I mean

[newbei440]

Im so tired of mixed people thinking they are black cus they fucking arent and look doown 8 comments and you'll see why

[TexansTea]

Still love Kweli and Grae!

[Laylaonly1]

NEW FEMALE RAPPER!!! Search: lifes hustle - shay

[frobro10251025]

everyone just wants someone to point the finger at

[xZxPhatRabbitxZx]

trollololol @DrizzyDrakeIsGod

Jean Grae is sick

[mariyoncee1]

Jean Grae is a female Lyrical Beast no need to even try to compare her to nicki Minaj or eve or lil kim

[treeyard1]

Black people should respect one another then others will respect you.I have black blood and was raised around blacks.I saw how much you people disrespect one another.The hatered and jealousy must stop.Also the gossiping and put downs are just plain evil.Why are bw so mean?Not all of you.It's sooo uncool.Thats whats turning off your men.Who told you attitude is cute?Loose weight and get some class,then the men and nice girl friends wiil come(not lesbians) but good friends.

[DrizzyDrakeIsGod]

Fuck Jean Grae. Nicki Minaj is the queen

[djn805]

says the person named Drizzydrakeisgod.....get help.

[LyricalReality]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod ok drake. you're a joke.

[illman8876]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod the queen of being ASS on the mic. Jean Grae would crush her into tiny little pieces.

[DrizzyDrakeIsGod]

@illman8876

Try the queen of hip-hop. Jean Grae is a nobody. Jean Grae can't carry Nicki's jockstrap. Compared to Nicki, Jean Grae is a piece of dog shit.

[illman8876]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod PUT THE CRACKPIPE DOWN. bar 4 bar jean grae is worlds above that fake ass bitch.

Jean: "I'm a feminine rebel forever cleverer than yo shit/never be level wit niggaz shit my flow can float bitch/figure out the dosage to administer vaccines/sickness i invoke in close consider the black jean/"

Nikki: "Nigga u aint my son u my fuckin step son."

Can Nikki hold her own on a track with Jay Electronica and Joell Ortiz? Didn't think so!

[DrizzyDrakeIsGod]

@illman8876

Please, Jean Grae isn't worth the hair on Nicki's ass. Nicki is famous all over the country, Jean Grae has about 19 fans. Dumbass

[illman8876]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod "If you go platinum, it's got nothin to do with luck, it just means a million people are stupid as fuck."

It's real easy to be famous all over the country when your target demographic is 15 year old girls who do nothing but go to the mall and watch MTV, and are gonna be pregnant before they leave highschool

[xoleann3]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod --- coming from someone whos name on youtube is drizzydrake is god... DRAKE SUCKS..take his ass back to degrassi cuz we know he's from no true block... I can't even take you serious if you truly believe drizzydrake is god and nicki minaj can flow..lemme guess your all on wiz khalifa to? SMH and they wonder why the industry is declining.

[DrizzyDrakeIsGod]

@xoleann3

Nope, I actually hate, HATE, Wiz Khalifa.

[MFDoogs]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod hahaha you are an absolut twat buddy, you obviosly have no concept of lyrical ability or talent therefor your opinion on the matter means less than nothing, to say Jean Grae is a nobody??, seriosly??? dude do us all a fovor and kill yaself lol

[mrwhatever213]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod you need to be shot for that dumb comment.

[josephinewinter]

Black barbie? Anorexia's one of white culture's gifts to the world - god knows, as a white feminist i've spent my life taking crap for fighting sexism! But there are too many moral obligations to ever follow them all successfully

[vee34nmbblover]

i cant not stand the dude rapper flow and his lyrics are not all that but the girl is fire

[LovePoet213]

Has anyone got the extra verse of this song, this track is fire. Kweli underrated, cant wait 4 nu ish.

Good luck sistas & ride 2 the next level, cant wait 2 go 2 the states & i hope that every1's doin well out dhere. Seeds uve gotta stay in school & away from the drugs & negativity 4eva Makaveli:)Xx

[moncj66]

@LovePoet213 is u ever find the version with the extra verse? Ive been looking for that everywhere!

[TimsMusicTube]

I'm a 32 yr old white dude and this is one of my favorite Talib songs. I love where he goes "I'm not playin, that's the prayer I'm sayin for Diani

And if I die then she'll be protected by Amani

That's her bigger brother and I love the way he love her"

I am feelin that line. There is almost nothing cooler than seeing how your kids look out for eachother.

[soulshine22]

A Video to this song must be so cool, Jeany and Kwali in Brooklyn (Brooklyn CAPE TOWN, not NY - just google), the home town of Jeanny. Love this song, and Cape Town..

[ClachBhalg]

Why is she a pain? Also, is this playing at the wrong speed?

[bn137]

jean is better than most artist male or female

[bluevan0]

@bn137 i thought the rest of the world was sleep on her true monsta. doc

[eprado91]

@bn137 she would kill nicki minaj

[kemoine]

@bn137 i agree with u but please dont put 50 cent in the same catogory with soulja boy come on now but u can add officer ross,

[samharriman]

@bn137 word.

[JCostilCapo1]

If you fux wit REAL HIP HOP then youtube "IOTOS".

Listen to the track entitled "Jammed Up" by IOTOS

he is a good fuckin MC. Real Rap for Real fans mah niggahs

[Saladin2999]

What's live about Talib is Jay-Z said he wished he flow like Talib Kweli

[90mv]

could've made a video for this

[Mattu190]

Mos Def and Talib Kweli are un-corruptable... True heros

[MUGGS077]

How could anyone dislike this song lolz.

[female115]

Black power!!!

[WithoutFlaw]

im going to make a song called white girl pain and it will be as good or better as this

[ThaSketchMan]

@WithoutFlaw shuddup

[Swmn9]

@WithoutFlaw

God knows you won't because you're not black, what pain? shut up! sit down and shut up, nasty little parasite! stealing my culture.

[Optikaliluznz]

@WithoutFlaw apparently you live without flaw...how would you be able to do that?

[gdiaz7367]

@WithoutFlaw u hit me up when u get that track out lol

[clawj26]

This type of music is boring I listened to all this so called real rap Masta ace Mos Def Talib Kweli Phoroe Monch Lupe Jean Grae all this concious rap and underrated rappers Immortal Technique Cannibus its all boring thats why they dont sell

[brotipp74]

@clawj26 everything can't be about car, hoes and clothes, You got to have balance.

STOP RUNNING FROM REALITY!!!!!!

[brotipp74]

@clawj26 

[ShaoLenRage252]

@clawj26 so y listen to it if its boring.....and also u seem to know the names of those types of artist.....and they would careless about sells its more about sending a message.....what kind of message u gonna get out of soulja boy, gucci mane, waka flocka, or any of them wack ass fuckas..THE SAME SHYT..MONEY, BITCHES, CARS, JEWELS, AND MOST OF ALL IGNORANCE

[thatfoobaked]

@clawj26 Dam dawg are you serious.? Real talk Immortal Technique would rip and rapper in the mainstream into pieces. Saying he's boring is just hating. You probably just listened to one or two songs and judged right away like a stupid bitch.! Go listen to your 50 cent fucken fag

[doublemaylay]

@clawj26 the reason why real rap like that might not sell as much is because people are closed minded and don't believe in things other than what media tells them which is money, girls and material things. the type of music that they play today is boring because it's all the same, there's no real meaning to it and it sends a bad message to the youth. real rap, real hip-hop however educates, opens up people's minds, has depth to it. real rappers get played wack rappers get paid simple as dat.

[exodus717]

@clawj26 I definitely completely agree with everything you have said. If they don't sell they are all completely boring. I yawn when I listen to music like this. Talib, Mos and every smart MC should stop rapping like this PLEEEASE because you are not smart because you don't sell. BOOOORING rappers!

[GoodBlackMusic]

@exodus717

Funny anything that involves critical thinking or has a positive message is considered boring. This reflects the idiocy of black people of today. And it only further shows how lost and fucking retarded we become. I give respect to Kweli and Jean Grae for being the only rappers who can form coherent sentences and not act like a minstrel show nigger.

[exodus717]

@GoodBlackMusic I agree. I'm sure you caught me being sarcastic. I hate the fact the these rappers now like Kweli, Jean Grae, Mos and a ton others have become just 'novelty' rappers now for college students when their message is way beyond. I always wondered if it's the big music labels that have shifted what listeners "want" to hear than what they "should" hear. But then again it's all business and maybe it's just a reflection of what the listeners "like" which bothers me.

[MakMcL14]

@exodus717 how else should they rap like???? the facts are the rappers u saying sell, dont sell only a few....yet these underground rappers go certified gold....ya boy lil wayne last album barley broke 400,000 units...people say rapper killed hiphop yet i think its the consumer....

[foeberri]

i love jean grae a real sista period!!!

[makwae]

Jean Grae is just awesome... True Hip Hop right there!

[Zachdudeio2]

song is so sick. the intro=awesome

[2000hiphophead]

This is real music. I'm digging Talib. He is nasty for sure and one of the best.  Check out more hip hop dopeness at cleverelementsdotnet for a rapper named Munchini who is cut from the same cloth if you love real music. Support the underground.

[mabus2007]

jean is dope as fuck but reminds me of a stupif whore i dated for 4 years. so cant pump her anymore. but shes prob the illest female MC out there by farrrrrrr.

[BrazYKat]

@mabus2007 how dumb of u to post this. No offence but u r the dumbest person i've come across. How can u think some1 is dope n not play her music 4 some other person's actions? fucking tool

[sigado1]

there is not one female rapper out there that can top her lyrically. jean's flow is so nasty. id actually rather see her mainstream cuz mainstream would mess with her style

[pedrosanchez05]

look out for tone mason people

[TechnicalDirector3d]

black power

[JewzKILER]

WORD Bro!! I actually do not think Nicki Minaj should be mentioned in the same sentence with Jean Grae. Jean is way big. Just saying.

[Trixxit]

@JewzKILER agreed! chick is on her own level.
