Cam'ron "Welcome to New York City" (Treacy version)

[mahirocal]

FUCK  JAY Z SNITCH NIGGER ! DUMP UP if you down whit me!!!

[elamite66]

why is it when in the song Brooklyn is mentioned all we see in the video is the Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan how about a view of downtown Brooklyn or at least what's left of it

[elamite66]

not "and all my splendour' it's "in all my splendour" I know this is petty but the mistakes in the lyrics are so numerous

[elamite66]

sounds to me like "pit fights" not "pick fight" to me but I could be wrong won't be the first time

[cbooth2008]

its not rucker its rutger, its a college

[Danom7]

@cbooth2008 it is actually Rucker as in Rucker Park, Harlem ...basketball street legends "contender"

[spacecadet252]

TRUE CRIME NEW YORK PS2 GAME

[themes103]

NYC ALL DAY BX UP!!!!!

[diadelsuerte]

lyrics starting at 2:57

I'm from 101, west to Hunt, this shit is live

Fifth floor, 56, you know the zip, district five

You're on 22nd, hit you from 2 1

That's on Lennox, 7th Ave was News One

Coverage, I synethestry, got Braffin defendin' me

Cause New York'll miss me if I'm locked in the penitentiary

The judge said, "Is this that thug from the Kit Kat Club?"

But I got enough chips stacked up to make a bitch pack up.

[botoxtreatments]

Why thank you for that!

[szumo1982]

west 140th

[diadelsuerte]

you have a few of the lyrics wrong "tin plates on the fender" = "temp plates on the fender "Next to Spike and the pen left to write" = "Next to Spike an' be panned left to right" "once again if you pen at the ice" = "once again if you pan left at the ice" "now there's danger, there's nothing left to shake up but: welcome to new york city" = "now there's danger, there's nothing left to say but: welcome to new york city" "body cops Castellano"= "body cops Dilano"

[mynokiaeyes]

THANK YOU. OMG its a bit like Joan Baez with Robbie Robertson's 'Night they drove old Dixie down". Baez's version made changes to the song lyric; The second line "Till Stoneman's cavalry came". Baez sings "Till so much cavalry came". She also changed "May the tenth" to "I took the train". In addition, the line "like my father before me, I will work the land" was changed to "like my father before me, I

[mynokiaeyes]

'm a working man", changing the narrator from a farmer to a laborer. In the last verse she changed "the mud below my feet" to "the blood below my feet".

[elamite66]

@mynokiaeyes no what you mean I grew up in NY and saw the WTC come down but now live in Western NC and there's one of those historical signs on the edge of town stating that "Stoneman's Cavalry raided here" in a date I can't remember in 1865

[elamite66]

@diadelsuerte you got the lyrics down my man are you from NY too? I grew up there and saw the WTC go down but haven't been back for a few years but who's "Dilano"? that I didn't get sounded like Castelano to me brings back some of the bad old days in Harlem, Washington Heights,the South Bronx and Hunts Point etc. anyway, thanks for anything you can answer PEACE

[elamite66]

@diadelsuerte it's also not "fronting center' at MSG but "front and center"

[jibbermasterstreet]

its not west coast or east coast, its Biggie and 2pac, get the fuck off the gang banging and listen to the music

[skateordie3377]

canadian bitch!!!

[T4nz4ni4232]

I'm an American, I think canada sucks balls

[skateordie3377]

dude fuck you, just cuz ur from one country doesn't mean all others suck, seriously dude i like being immature but there is a line ur just being stupid

[skateordie3377]

wow dude you are seriuosly pathetic

[T4nz4ni4232]

at least I can spell "seriously"

[skateordie3377]

who the fuck cares it youtube

[T4nz4ni4232]

your mom cares...

[skateordie3377]

wow

[T4nz4ni4232]

...is what she said when she saw my massive dong

[skateordie3377]

sorry bitch you have no dong and america is not the best country in the world alright? there is no best

[T4nz4ni4232]

America is clearly the best to anyone thats not an idiot.

[skateordie3377]

sure thats why we beat ur ass in 1812

[T4nz4ni4232]

We?...oh, that explains alot. Your a Canadian. I'm not sure why you pose as an American on your profile but thats besides the point. Anyways, the war of 1812 was like 200 years ago lol. Not only that, but canada didn't even exist at the time retard. The war was fought between the USA and Great Britain. The USA defeated Great Britain in the Battle of New Orleans that ended the war.

Your just another "Anti-American-Wannabe-America­n" from crappy canada.

USA takes a MASSIVE SHIT on canada lol

[skateordie3377]

poseing as an american? what the fuck are you talking about? and i have nothing against america, you just have problems with every other country, and i bet you have never even been to canada

And you are problay from more then just america so ur problay hating on a country ur some what from

[T4nz4ni4232]

Your canadian(lol), and yet it says US on your profile...making you a poser

I dont even know what your mean by.."you are problay from more then just america"...wtf ru tlkn ABOOT

No I don't have a problem with all other countries.... Canada sucks balls but places like Italy,Austria,Brazil,Slovakia,­Portugal,Spain are all cool ass places......I mean, America is still better and more powerful and more diverse and more influential than those countries....but at least they hold a candle to America

[skateordie3377]

it doesn't make me a poser and im living in th US right now. And Im talking about you have more then just american in ur blood, like u might be a bit german or italian. And how does canada "suck" huh?

[T4nz4ni4232]

no fuckin shit retard....America is the nation of immigrants....everyone hear has ancestors from europe or wherever...but America is its own nationality now. If you are born and raised on American soil you are an American, and nothing less....I have no loyalty whatsoever to any of the countries that I have heritage from. I am 100% American and thats all there is to it.

Canada sucks nuts !! ;]]

[JamieKleinOwns]

we.....we....u werent even mborn canadian cocksucker eh

[borninthe90sdecade]

im from the london and im telling you that newyork is the best city in the fucking world......theres no place like it

[fishin25530]

[mendi949]

ese cmron tiene toa la razon por cierto por que fue la banda sonora de true crime?

[MetsKnicksRutgers]

for real this video doesnt do justice to the capital of crime... makes it soft like this LA bullshit

[mynokiaeyes]

You are so right. It was all filmed about Times Square on a cold cold winters nite. Truth is Cam'ron's song gave the video another life and took in right out of that place. I would love too do one in the hood. Would you be my wingman?

[mikeandnory]

The person who made this video seems to love times square, most of the fottage if not all is taken in the 42nd area and the shopping district, but the lyrics of this song dont go with his footage accept for the twin towers. Why didnt you film in the hood??? I dont usually right comments on youtube but this video makes NEW YORK look soft.

Welcome to my City IIIIIIIIIIIIII

[mynokiaeyes]

I know. Things change and to be fair black people were in New York before the Irish came and displaced them. We are all emigrants trying to survive on the planet.

[NJNetsFan5152433]

Are you really from Ireland? lol do you actually know what they are talking about in this song? hehe

*Madison Square* *Spike Lee* *Rucker Park* *Atlantic Ave. Brooklyn* *Harlem* *Lenox. Ave* *Gotti Mafia* *Gravano Mafia* *Mase*

[mynokiaeyes]

But isn't New York the biggest Irish City? hehe

[autoloveletterROCKS]

haha! true true, but the white population is declining here, white is the minority people in New York.

shut up fag

[thegasworks]

I didn't mean the rappers were doing exams lol! I meant the people who like to look at this type of video were doing exams (just finished mostly). Please stop addressing me as the illustrious one...the postman thinks I'm a weirdo!!

[mynokiaeyes]

Thanks, I really thought it would fly but Frances reckons all the rapper kids in New York are still doing their exams.

[thegasworks]

Don't know where my comment on this disappeared to..anyway..this is a really great video which gives a sense of the vibrancy of NY. Anonimity, yet unity and determination in the face of hardship is clearly depicted. The music was a brilliant choice. I also like the way the video compares and contrasts the suffering in the US and war torn Iraq..we all bleed!! A really great job!

[mynokiaeyes]

Thanks Frances, it never reached here. Thanks for favourable comments. Vid is slowing up. I thought it would do better!

[thegasworks]

All the rappers are sitting exams!!!! I'm sure it'll pick up again.

[mynokiaeyes]

This video has now really taken off in the New York area getting 200+ viewers/day.

[thegasworks]

I'm not surprised, it's one of my favourites.
