Mos Def - Don't Push Me

[nvmyutube]

fyi - the songs called "close edge"

and yes this is recorded from chappelles show, was a great music vid

[DeWellstein]

[SuperThundercat101]

To set all this straight mos defs a legend, lil wayne sucks, and MF DOOM is the shit!Mos def even wears the mask from time to time

[MrFinnypo]

Hes alright i suppose

[SolidSnake240]

@HulkHooligann stfu

[69imagez]

first time i heard this song was on the dave chapell show.. mos def & dave was cruisin in a ride through the city.. mos def was kickin this while dave was on the passenger boppin to the beat..

[69imagez]

don't even use lil wayne & my mans in the same sentence.. not even on the same page..

[69imagez]

crazy hip hop dude

[KashmirShahzad]

MF DOOM is better than mos def? Wtf r u smokin?

[ENJ4321]

@KashmirShahzad Hell no. Equal to each other maybe, but not better. They both are crazy dope, the only thing that may make Mos Def better... The fact he does perform in his own shows. DOOM still dope, just he needs to stop sending in DOOM bots to impersonate him. Mos Def did say repeatedly that he is a fan of MF DOOM.

[BeautifulPinkMe]

This dope:)

[HulkHooligann]

Mos Def sucks listening to his music is worse than having lectures about rapping from your grandma god damn wannabe MC fake rapper get the fuck out of the game you can't rap for shit

[drexelrep]

@HulkHooligann mad as shit, lmao

hater

[HulkHooligann]

@drexelrep fuck yeah Im mad cause people listen to this trash ass rapper well obviously not many people altho he is mainstream, yeah... MOS SUCKS

[drexelrep]

@HulkHooligann so u let it get you all worked up like that? lmao, get a hobby

[HulkHooligann]

@drexelrep yes I get worked up cause i care about the stupidity of my fellow human beings its exceeding the limits we're going backwards if you consider this good rap this is rap abomination

[drexelrep]

@HulkHooligann ok, you either dont know rap, or are the most pathetic troll ive seen lmao name 5 current rappers who are better lyricists than mos def.

[HulkHooligann]

@drexelrep dude i might as well name 5 current rappers...cause everyone is better lyricist than mos is... Immortal Technique , MF doom, MF grimm, Sean Price, NAS.... just 5 that were on top of my head...

[rithphyra]

If you think lil wendy is on the mighty mos lvl you need to shoot yourself

[DjTee2]

Mos Def! Hands Down, Lyrical genius........... Peace!!!

[27JKing27]

@CChArGeRss i allmost thought you were going to say the oppisite

[LaphTaphy]

Mos Def kills Lil Wayne without effort

[AnonymousTheMusician]

lil wayne is a comercial rapper so any other rapper thats non commercial and still has some fucking artistic integrity is 1000 times better than any commercial rapper same with any musician if ur corporate then u have zero integrity if ur underground even if u suck u still have way more balls than pussy radio clearwater shit

[KingGoose24]

@AnonymousTheMusician this is for all the haters - lick my 3 nuts

[Twobitgangster]

this shit is dope

[VanillaOPS]

This is goooooooood shit

[luigizzl3]

This is called Close Edge. This is the Chapelle Show recording but the official release is on The New Danger album. Same lyrics and beat just better quality recording

[MrHerron151]

@esel no name? what hole did you just climb out of. Mos def is one of the pioneers of modern hip hop. Lil wayne is a homo

[Eselpower]

Well listening to this i find that the quality is poor and it's not that great. And he stole a sample from close to the edge. That's sooo corny. Why does such an "great artist" steal samples? Why can't he just make something up on his own? Lil wayne is much better artist than this noname.

[rabidninja]

@Eselpower lil waynes a lil bitch.  like you

[TheIllegalmusic]

@Eselpower go drown in cow shit. Thats all i want to say.

[Mils615]

@Eselpower Everyone uses samples in rap from other songs etc: Because it is about the lyrics, because it has a catchy beat and 4 words that you can sing along with in chorus doesn't make it a good song. Discover real hip hop. Most people do this when they hit puberty, so wait a couple of years and you will realise the error of your ways.

[bigL4back]

@Eselpower your a fool

[MultiFeezy]

@Eselpower Mos Def used samples, something that EVERY rapper does...Lil Wayne has stolen entire verses before. You do the math.

[nickt0813]

@Eselpower Well reading your comment I find that you're illiterate . . .

[michaeljgenovese]

@Eselpower

fanboy.

[joanshanitaify]

this is the one he rapped with Dave Chappelle in the car, lol

[KingGoose24]

@joanshanitaify Yup - I love it - good call homie, now i get the whole version

[vabeach6]

I LOVE MOS DEF MAN !

[maskenmann]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[Ali3343]

beast!!!!! mos def always goin' in!

[9rezboi1]

lmao Dave Chappelle show

[nev3rknwsbest]

try not to feed the trolls

[XxFourTwentyxX]

Whats up with the production quality of the studio recording? It sounds like the sound I'd get from a phone.

[Ginga]

@XxFourTwentyxX

It's probably taken from the Chapelle video. The actual song is called "Close Edge".

[NbssSavy]

to @williamslinville stfu u dnt kno anything mos def is a poet lil wayne says the same thing in almost every song listen to lil waynes albums alway to sorry for the wait then listen to one sond by mos def respiration with the lyrics your the idiot

[TheHEATallday6]

[mmaandrew13]

im disgusted to see lil waynes name mentioned at all on these comments. i feel bad for making this comment

[sam12ification]

YO MOS DEF COULD BE THE NEXT EMINEM IF HE WORKS HARD

[hotglock666]

@sam12ification nah mos def is forever better then eminem. maybe eminem will be the next mos def but i dont think that can happen

[TurningJappanesse]

[ThisisSwaqqtv]

Sick

[cohrnb]

close edge

[yungkr]

THIS IS MY SHIT i first heard this on the Chappelle show in "03" the best line he said was>> "Stop with the nonsence like he concience, im just awake Dog im doing Great dog" im glad he finnaly said it ppl always saying that dumb shit putting him n a box of only being concence

[banehbk]

@yungkr yo,Chappelle wrap it up xD :DD

[JujixFruit]

Fuck yeah

[CChArGeRss]

@williamslinville wow, i had to bring bak this account just so i can say how big of a dumbass u are for saying Mos Def can be da next Lil Wayne... One of the most idiotic things ive heard someone say... Mos Def probably didnt really freestyle for this song, but he does know how to freestyle, unlike Weezy... Mos Def is way much better this Weezy... Dnt ever compare a real artists to Weezy

[nashaat]

@CChArGeRss Agreed lil wayne is a bitch nigga who sounds like hes got a dick up his ass and his chorus sounds like hes gaggin on one as well ......real artists like mos def are wayyyy better than this piece of shit the world calls lil wayne aka lil pain aka "BEST" faker alive .......thank goodness he didnt say nas is as good as weezy i wouldve flipped lol ignorant bastards

[bleach13charlie]

@CChArGeRss to expand on your point "your grind and my grind aint the same dog" - mos def

[megamixa]

@CChArGeRss

Seriously lol, that's like comparing a ant to a elephant. The man a lyrical giant, Weezy ain't shit... He could be something but he chooses to be trash for money and fame... it's sad.

[theneggosstudio]

@CChArGeRss true that

[xxsandmanxx02]

Im not even big on hip hop/rap and I can admit Mos Def is awesome

[williamslinville]

he did perform it on the chappelle show but its not a freestyle. he just did it on the show but it is an actual song, not a freestyle. but personally i loved this. he could be the next lil wayne. but nobody could be better than weezy. mos def is probably the 2nd best rapper alive lol. but you cant forget 2pac. may he rest in peace

[Hosstyle727]

@williamslinville

Wow, you're amazingly ignorant...

[TheLeoAndujar]

@williamslinville ... i dont even know you and i hate you.. i couldnt even contimplate when i read "he could be the next lil wayne" -__- ignorance at its worst..

[jayson94a]

@williamslinville hell no he's not the next lil wayne! lil wayne can't freestyle for shit! :/

[yungthuggg]

@williamslinville Yo Lil waynes chokes dick , Mos Def is a genius. I dont know why im about to start arguing your prolly like an 8 year old girl lol.

[PurpleThunda]

@williamslinville did i just hear you call wayne better than mos def... the fuck?

[ci5co011]

@williamslinville Kid you're bugging dont know the real meaning of music. New foony rapers this days are fucking it up.

[ci5co011]

ci5co011 lil wayne is weak there is no comparison, he doesnt qualify.

[mrSman317]

@williamslinville just please shutup

[BlueberryDoughnuts]

@williamslinville A. this is a freestyled version of Close Edge, using both freestyle rhymes and some original lyrics

B. Wayne sucks. Period. He couldn't rhyme his way past Dr. Seuss, let alone real hip hop artists like Mos, Common, Talib Kweli, Edo G, Masta Ace, the Rza, and Busta Rhymes to name a few

[hcasperk]

@BlueberryDoughnuts dude, no one can rhyme past Dr Seuss, he's a fking legend!

[BlueberryDoughnuts]

@hcasperk haha touché bruh. touché.

[gypsytheif]

@hcasperk Dr Seuss Dogg?? Spittin mad rhymes about the sneetches on his block....that shit is real as it gets, fo sho!

[TheDrwaian]

though mos def may not be the next lil wayne. who's comparing? what the hell is your problem? your not a producer or music man, why u think u own this shit? mind ur business and dont hate.

[TheDrwaian]

@TheDrwaian ahha weezy are u serious? fag.

[anouchemalfliet]

@williamslinville Seriously? The "next lil wayne"? Be ashamed!



[gtr3cords]

@williamslinville shut your dumbass mouth lil wendy will never get on MosDefs level.

[dethtotheking]

@gtr3cords Blahahahaahaha "lil wendy" XD

[TheloniousKeys781]

It's actually called 'Close Edge' and it's from his second solo album, "The New Danger" (Released 2004). The album is more hip-hop than rap but it's my personal favorite from him. Other album tracks worth listening to: 'Sunshine', and of course, 'The Rape Over'.

[tasha1494]

i love mos deff so awesome

[OnlyIKnow12]

This is amazing freestyling. THE BEST

[t3gh]

its just a freestyle on the dave chapelle

[JADLER423]

this was on the dave chapelle show. not sure if it was freestyle or what

[bizarro85101]

what album is this from?

[chrisesparza01]

Mos Def is ILL!
