[jadakiss228]

COPD Mos Def :(

[saleeboy55]

Much love and respect to Mos def!! Keep doing ur thing Mos, you are one of the rare artist who never lets down his fans!

[TheSupremeDon]

by Allah I would love to work with Mos Def if even only for one show. I love this brother with such a sencerity that measure is not imaginable. I guess its like God, Muhammad, Mom, Wife, Children, Dad, Al Hajj Malik Shabazz, MOSDEF...

[Jedimanny661]

@travelchamp just press f5 man it skips the ads really aha

[KingVirmire]

Might Mos Def is the shit.

[TruUnderGroundHipHop]

isn't Mos Def muslim?

why did he say i need jesus in my life?

[JayMcClain79]

@TruUnderGroundHipHop i have muslims family members and the read the bible..so did malcom X

[JayMcClain79]

@TruUnderGroundHipHop 

[Freshstyles00]

@TruUnderGroundHipHop the ybelieve in jesus too

[NomsiKage]

i dont even like hip hop, but this guy is really helluva entertainer :D

[lindin420]

I'm so in love with this man, from his lyrics, to his views, to his voice, ugh School girl crish and it ain't on the hush!!

[travelchamp]

@lblfg the documentary? I'm almost positive they did. Again, its an issue of multiple commercials in the middle! When we have lost the internet as we know it in 2-5 yrs, it will be because of idiot/clone/sheepe like yourself. Why exactly are you defending YT so hard? Seems like you're the one w/ too much time. This is what I do, Internet Neutrality & ACTA are very threatening to what I do, not to mention I'm passionate about it in principle. The web should be free & open as it was meant to be.

[travelchamp]

@lblfg Good argument. (Rolls eyes sarcastically in amazing at your stupidity). What I do for a living puts me in front of 2 computers during the day. It takes 2.2 seconds to write a post showing how stupid you are. Seriously man, you sent me a belligerent message w/o knowing what the hell you're talking about. Lay down, you lose. Now try to reread what I've said and wrap your little brain around what I'm conveying. Not to mention, you dont think embedded got paid by Mos' record company to shoot

[travelchamp]

@lblfg Once again, you're a TRUE idiot. Ya I know, its called the YT partner network, I am a partner on another YT channel. Unfortunately you're too stupid to understand what I said. BEGINNING & END IS OKAY! THey have done that for a long time. The point is in the middle is too much & is a sign of the corporatization of the web. You probably feel small because you had no Idea what I was talking about in the last post. And how do I have to much time? I'm guessing just because I responded to you.

[travelchamp]

@lblfg Any of you other tools who are drinking the YT kool aid and dont know shit, please dont waste your time messaging me. Just dont thumbs up and leave it at that. I will stress again, what I originally said, Beginning and end is okay. Go away tool.

[travelchamp]

@lblfg taken over by corporations. THis is the start of it. In 2 years when internet neutrality is not renewed, ACTA is passed, amongst other bills in the making, and the internet is nothing more than a glorified T.V. maybe then you will understand what I'm talking about. Wait until your ISP structures your bill in tiered format like cable T.V. & you have access to 50 websites only. Unless you can afford $300 month. Shut your mouth when adults who know what they are talking about are speaking.

[travelchamp]

@lblfg You are a true idiot. YT didnt make the documentary. Also, if you had the intellect to understand what I said you would know that I said before and after is ok, not in the middle. You have no idea what you are talking about. I work in digital marketing and have been utilizing YT & other web 2.0 properties. YT has been profitable for years, before they started this BS in 2010. I am an industry insider, you are a YT kool aid drinker who is too stupid to realize that the internet is being

[cyrusjerome]

@KennySherman 50's not worthy of that at all... kanye cant freestyle and jigga is dried up.

[puke13]

love this wonder why current aint doing this more?!

[cariboujoe]

Man that jacket was fly!

[nassadir79]

how many times does mos say intense?? lmao

[TheReasonableLogic]

WTF!! This is why I watch vids on youtube instead of television, to escape commercials and advertisements, I could tolerate the beginning advertisement but like 5 within 50mins come the fuck on. Its like you can't escape someone trying to persuade you to buy shit anymore. WTF is this world coming to? YOUTUBE WE DON"T WANT ADVERTISEMENTS!!! WE WANT TO WATCH VIDEOS CONTINUOUSLY WITH NO INTERRUPTIONS. Thank you kindly.

[ASC623]

[capedclown]

@lukesrugby auditorium

[glenneveaux]

like mos, but.............if he thinks that the raping of americans indigenous peoples (i.e., mexicans and native americans) was an "ecstatic happening," he needs to re-read the true history of the divided states of america. from george carlin, " america was founded by slave-owners that wanted to be free." def, pleeeeeeeeeease. ur trying 2 god-damn hard in this shit.

[b23c19s]

@glenneveaux i think he meant the idea of america not what happened in the process of making it u kno??

[ELoQence]

@b23c19s true that! true that! u took the words out of my mouth. Mos is one of the few artists that i admire and love as a person

[ELoQence]

@b23c19s true that! true that! u took the words out of my mouth. Mos is one of the few artists that i admire and love as a person as well as an artist and Hip Hopper

man, i've been wanting to go which eventually grew into moving to japan for years now. The older I get the more I f'n hate new york! just to live in japan, live kyokushin, etc.... dammit! This tour of japan by mos def is killing me!

[travelchamp]

FUCK YOU YOUTUBE! Thumbs UP if you think its bullshit to display ads in the middle of the video!!!!!

Beginning & End is bad enough but tolerable.

[1Pantikian]

@travelchamp for real man. next it'll become something we have to pay for like hulu did

[hopover1]

@travelchamp it costs millions of dollars to simply pay for the bandwidth to provide this type of user friendly website where everything is free, basically unlike cable TV...i think i can stand a few advertisements. I agree they shouldn't go crazy with 'em but a few won't hurt - help pay the bills.

[TruUnderGroundHipHop]

@travelchamp if it wasnt for those adds there will be NO YOUTUBE.yes its annoying as hell but they need to make money for bandwich. just think if you had to pay millions of dollars for a electric bill well youtube is just like this but different circumstances.

[travelchamp]

@TruUnderGroundHipHop Please read all my comments on this video, I addressed this.

I'm sorry but your wrong. Youtube was not always as filled with ads as it is now. There has been a considerable escalation of this in 2010.

Youtube has been profitable for years. Why do you think Google bought it? Aside from the obvious advantage to their search algorithms.

[TruUnderGroundHipHop]

@travelchamp i know i been on youtube sense 2005, i rather watch a 10 second add than like a 15 minute commercial on TV, if you owned youtube you rather be in debt to make other people on youtube happy? didnt think so, the more people make videos the more they pay, its a billion dollar business, and youtube helps other people get payed youtube opened up a lot of jobs as-well,anybody can get payed on youtube if you just try.

the more people upload the more billions.

[doodoomonster8]

@travelchamp ads is everywhere so get the fuck over it bitch and get that sand outta your vagina.

[famandsed]

thankssss

[biggergunss]

[hustletrees47]

[cyrusjerome]

The boogeyman.. lol im gunna try that

[Tamagumo]

no disrespect or nuthin, but mos comes off a little fake, arrogant and full of him self, I'd expected him to be realer than that

[Tamagumo]

song at 21:16 pretty please

[IxDONTxWANTxAxNAME12]

What's the name of the song at 4:05

[Hoahwah]

@IxDONTxWANTxAxNAME12 Travelin man

[silenceismyenemy]

@IxDONTxWANTxAxNAME12 Travellin man Dj Honda feat. Mos Def

[GeekyGerald]

Something that's different between our cultures is the enthusiasm levels. American culture is by and large apathetic and lethargic, Japanese culture is homogeneous and enthusiastic, which gives their country a very interesting feeling when you visit. I definitely get the feeling that Mos understands this fact and is living a bit above the typical American with his music and philosophies. That's what makes him so cool in my opinion.

[johnny4prez]

I have a greater respect for Mos and every song he has ever made.

[dreamcrusher5]

This really makes me want to go to Japan.

[AngleBisector90]

@weeknballer25 I think those "gay" parts of the video were probably weirder because he was high as shit during the entire tour.

[KyriSvk]

@weeknballer25 i think its just becouse he is high

[redmangoose182]

If there's one artist that I could chill with and talk to, it's Mos.

He's just the type of guy I would have coffee with, ya know?

[simonsefaz]

fuck you mos. america is the best.

[PoSkOuSd247]

This is great! Very well done and very interesting.

[kst1224]

Who else didn't skip not one second?

[Brydenmc]

don't bother replying to ignorant posts

[ProductiveBeats]

Hooked on Sumo.

[chokingonnothing]

mos def is the best thing that ever happened to hip hop

[helloimtank]

@Clifton100 your an idiot

[ray1244]

@Clifton100

and from what came the monkeys? ... think about that

[kneegrow2727]

@ray1244 Before I write what I need to say, I don't want this starting any kind of religious flamewar because this is a fantastic video following an even better musical artist. If I get too many replies to this that don't relate to the video I'll gladly delete this comment. I just need to reply that evolution doesn't state that humans evolved from monkeys. Anybody with a little knowledge of the theory of evolution knows that it states chimps and humans evolved from the same ancestors.

[ray1244]

@kneegrow2727

:D lol i wasnt aiming for an religious point ... i ment that monkeys evolved from something els too ;) and it all started from the water .. ( sorry if i understood ur comment wrongly or i got some major grammar fails .. cuz my eng isnt the best )

:) And it truly is a fantastic vid i would like to chill with him in real life

[Sambino]

@ray1244

monleys evolved from humans, humanzees ...

[MrFreeStufff]

@Clifton100 Shut the fuck up, cause you don't sound smart and you aren't funny. You're making yourself look like a narrow minded jackass. TROLL.

[bnobu]

[nksk7]

What a great video. Mos Def just does what he feels. No ifs ands or buts. He's so intelligent, and doesn't fall into the same old bullshit meaningless category many others in his line of work seem to. He's smart, and implements true, serious feelings, and you just cannot top that. 5 stars to Mos Def and Current. Loved every minute of this video.

[jh73980]

@jh73980 Travellin' Man

[imacooldude506]

Yeah, its pretty much been decided that Mos Def is the man.

[weeknballer25]

why is he talking like he's gay?...im a fan non the less, but i feel he's talking like that to make himself seem more artistic.....

[rmaynard626]

@weeknballer25 Nah... I understand where he is coming from... He sounded like he had alot of passion and wanted to convey those thoughts accurately. People tend to misconstue what some people are truly saying.

[PoeticMind]

why is he talking like a fag >_>... the accents not neccessary, mos... 

[UberLouTube]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MOS...to say the least
