Saukrates ft. Common - Play Dis

[sh4nky420]

Eminem is another over blow up faggot that every suck his dick clean. If he's sooo real and bad ass why is Kim still alive? And rich at that. Em and lil Wayne lie and sell it as the truth plain and simple. Pure trash. Plus I heard Wayne shot Himself when he was younger. What a jackass....

[darthlime101]

Gotta have respect for artists who want to be known for their talent, not for supporting the party aspect of the mainstream.

[KianAnufrijevas]

Lil Wayne is like McDonalds. McDonalds has a high population of customers world wide yet McD’s makes the shittiest food in the world. It’s all about advertisement these days. If you advertise just right you can sell the shittiest products to millions - billions of people like McD’s. Lil’ Wayne has been advertised just properly to get his shitty music out there. it's got people thinking 'If you like lil’ Wayne you must be a baller.'

[MrJordonfoster]

well "@KianAnufrijevas" i agree but i actually like lil wayne when he waz a young kid



[KianAnufrijevas]

@MrJordonfoster yeah, im just saying he's not the best "burger" out there, but he has so much people all over him. He's got some word play, but not the hottest. I thought it was funny seeing lil wayne show up in music videos like years ago before he was hot. Can't really say i've heard much of his shit from when he was young, but like I dont mind him on Ghostface - Run, or I dont mind him w/ Little Brother - Breakin my heart

[MrJordonfoster]

@KianAnufrijevas ya but im done listen to mainstream music though

[srjimo]

@KianAnufrijevas your mom is like Mc'D

[dolmanf]

theres a better mix of this somewhere...

[cripbuddz]

commons one of my favorite mc's..he got that smooth style

[stoopidmonkeykid]

who said Canada isn't ghetto?

[HobobotheClown]

kinda reminds me of guru from gangstaar.. RIP

[readybeeill]

don't curse around jrs, spread love like rumors, niggas liked my tape but how many were consumers?

Common is so dope.

[XOrpheus11X]

Drake is the reason anyone in canada gets noticed . He opened the doors so how can you hate? Dope track Saukrates comes correct as always

[brenmave]

@XOrpheus11X

cause hes a bitch nigger who spits nothing but shit, deserves all the hate that can be thrown his way.

and btw, your point is retarded, who the fuck even cares, keep good music indie, so it stays good

[XOrpheus11X]

@brenmave You may not care, but ask a underground mc in canada about drake. They may not like him as an artist but they respect what hes done for the industry. Anyone grinding in Canada knows how hard it is to make it in a culture dominated by america. But you can hate all you want, but your missing what hip hop is really about.

[METTI1986LA]

i listen to hip hop on utube for half a year

bad thing: now i know who lil wayne is

good thing: every day i discover the best hip hop (mostly underground)

[iggyds89]

dope !

[lavyalovesdad]

49th parallel......................­respect!

[PHILLYHEAT215]

what album is this on?

[timmygunz18]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SAUK! BIG UP TORONTO! Nobody knows, but we one of the cities still holdin Hip-Hop down!

[KianAnufrijevas]

Oh shit!

imma end up blowing out my speakers to this song haha!

FUCK MOST POP-HOP

yeah I can fuck with some Kanye west and when i say some, i mean like 2 songs or so, i can mess with Clipse with pharell and i can Definatly fuck with Lupe

[electronicchronic]

Lupe is main hes got quality songs Same with curren$y

[jsticks7]

drake was kool wen he was a canadian artist...shame wat happens wit fame

[kenenkel]

all about the undergound

[zacatetas]

and to think one of the last greats is making music with kid kudi ...ugggggggghhhhh

[asianozk47]

@zacatetas cudi is dope, go watch his freestyles.

hes music.

[IeashiaIsGreat]

Why Saukrates, K-os and Shad need to go on some kind of mega-tour:

1. because it would be Amazing

2. shocking/overwhelming people as they realize how great Canadian hip hop can be

and 3. because it would let people know - who don't already know - that hip hop with substance still exists.

[dillydrake]

sounds like a pete rock beat

[pistonear]

Drakes okay, Its like that Marc Morales album. Only time will tell how long this era will last. Just an opinion but the era of harder beats and boom bap production will be comming back to a city near you soon. I think hip hop is about to hit the reset button real soon :)

[TheLukieBoi1]

Why the fuck are you's brining up DRAKE ? he's bullshit, saukrates is the real shit ! you should be ashamed to mention that faggot on a saukrates video !

[colenbrak]

drake had literally one song i liked, its called "city is mine"... about t.o.

[bosman1988]

saukrates' flow reminds me of jeru tha damaja

[calamaty83]

@bosman1988 erik..?

[timtom099]

@bosman1988 see where your coming from 

[CboybackspaCe]

@bosman1988 i dont think his flow is like jeru's, its more like his voice, jeru's flow is very unique to everyone elses

[Knett1990]

people need to stop making comparisons between underground and mainstream hiphop.. they are two different things!

[joojoobomb]

why the fuck everyone gotta hate on drake when it comes to other canadian emcees' videos? or hate on anyone else for that matter...

we're all aware "commercial" hip hop has gone downhill, proclaiming your unwavering hatred for anything mainstream isn't a good look. you just come across as an elitist fuck.

there's good hip hop all over, you just have to know where to look for it.

[soad905]

@joojoobomb

i agree with you, but always seeing drake in your shit tends to piss people off too haha

[joojoobomb]

@soad905 better than seeing blood in your shit. just sayin.

[soad905]

@joojoobomb

truth haha 

[rshobe1]

what is real hihphop? everybody has a different viewpoint, the same stuff they rap about now they did then, these dances out now and days they had then, remember kris kross- jump, the reason certian stuff sales is because a lot of people like it wheither black/white etc..., back then they had rappers who rapped about nothing common use to rap about nothing...and all asudden he started rapping about stuff on resurrection with i use to love her,

[dephekted]

how can you guys even bring up drake fag , in the middle of a banging tune

[SteelCitySkanker]

who lil wayne? that what we should be askin! not fuk lil wayne - i refuse to even acknowage his usless purpose on this planet he has the cheek to call home! TWAT GO DIE IN A HOUSE FIRE!!!!

[ssskip]

saukrates and common keeepin it real all day check my favs and

spread that real ish!

much love!

[meroviingean1012]

drake n sauks r both from the north, it was only a matter of time b4 they collaborated.

[RealHipHopTunes]

how in the hell did drake get hooked with sauks? anybody know? he doesn't deserve to spit with sauks

[juicyj189]

@RealHipHopTunes shut the hell up. Drake is much more popular then saukrates.. im wondering why he chose to work with saukrates when he could literally pick ANYBODY to work with in the world. If you think saukrates is one of the best artists in the world then you need to listen to more rap. Kanye, weezy, jcole, nas, eminem, list goes on. Saukrates is dope as fuck but by no means is he drake

[RealHipHopTunes]

@juicyj189 lol kanye??? weezy??? YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO MORE RAP FOOL!! i've been a hip hop fan for 20 years and your telling me that i need to listen to rap? nas, eminem and j cole, ok they're dope, weezy and kanye? just shut the fucl up please, you didn't prove me wrong, saukrates is lyrically superior to drake, who gives a shit if drake is popular, popularity doesnt play a role when it comes to mic skills

[juicyj189]

@RealHipHopTunes when kanye first dropped he had some of the dopest lyrics around. And listen to tha carter 2 and da drought 3 and tell me weezy isnt better then saukrates

[juicyj189]

@RealHipHopTunes ps you dont actually believe that saukrates is better then drake. your just a haterrrr

[RealHipHopTunes]

@juicyj189 call me a hater all you want, saukrates can outrap drake, listen to me kid, calling me a hater won't back up what you say

[jaymackcreations]

@RealHipHopTunes any fuckin day , sauks is where hip hop comes from .... fuck juicy. to much brain wash ... sauks blew up years later lol , drake one day ... tell me u wernt just openly brain washed lol HATEERRRRrrr lol

[juicyj189]

@jaymackcreations ahh man im gettin ripped on by the SAUKRATES fan boys hahaha.. just cause this song has common, an east coast beat, and some scratchin, doesnt make it the hottest shit out there.... not even close... lol saukrates, gimme a fuckin break

[KardiFan2000]

@juicyj189 Sorry dude, but Saukrates is a MUCH better emcee! Drake is for the mainstream crowd and his talent on the mic is limited (even though he can sing). And call me a "hater" if you want, but the fact is, that word (hater) is used so that mainstream audiences can accept sub-par rappers, such as Drake.

[juicyj189]

@KardiFan2000 if your gonna put up an underground rapper to drake, at least pick somebody better then saukrates... forreal. I would say j.cole, jay electronica, or somebody is alot more believable then saukrates haha

[KardiFan2000]

@juicyj189 You need to get off Drake's nuts. How much of Sauks do you even listen to? Talk to real heads who came up in the 90s and they'll tell you how ill Sauks is. Saukrates has a certain depth to his lyricism which makes him stand out and he has uncanny storytelling abilities (listen to "Hate Runs Deep" and "Da Professional").

[juicyj189]

@KardiFan2000 if your gonna take on drake by sayin theres better underground rappers, why wouldnt u say like jay electronica or jcole or somebody?... saukrates? really?

[KardiFan2000]

@juicyj189 You gotta understand that dudes like Drake only get by with weak punchlines and metaphors...that does NOT make him a great emcee! Or better than Saukrates for that matter!

[MandoGuerrero2]

@KardiFan2000 The fact that Sauks has never really made it big is ridiculous, but he himself has said that Drake has all the talent in the world, and they've done shit together. Drake might not be the best CDN emcee, but he has a lot of good shit out there to go with the pop shit. I'm just glad that Drake will be able to sell millions without sounding like Soulja Boy. It's all good for T.O.

[KardiFan2000]

@MandoGuerrero2 I agree, but I was just responding to some dude who said Drake is a better emcee than Sauks without backing it up with facts. It's like those kids who rank him in their top 10 ahead of Jay-Z...it makes no sense! I'll admit Drake has talent, but he's still just putting his foot through the door.

[MandoGuerrero2]

@KardiFan2000 Ya that makes sense. Just depends on how old they are or how long they've been listening I guess. I thought Sauks would be huge after Hate Runs Deep, and all the other mid 90's stuff he was putting out. But most people will never know about that, or even know to look for it. Shit only has like 10k hits on Youtube. Being on a hit tv show has definite advantages lol.

[xbigeL13]

Classic tune

[treebee69]

"da" as opposed to using "the" is pretty "stupid" and that isn't slang for "cool" either. Why do people feel the need to type with an accent?? Hate when people stereotype themselves. Most Hip hop artists today are actually intelligent, well rounded modern poets that can execute a sentence to highlight these point.

[a1rjord4n]

how bout who gives a fuck...its not like they talk like tht in real life its fucking youtube

[a1rjord4n]

go take ur grammar teachin ass elsewhere please

[nipthick]

drakes horrible, and wayne, anyone mainstream is horrible

[juicyj189]

@nipthick eminem, kanye, lupe fiasco, and t.i are pretty horrible eh? Idiot

[m3phisto666]

@juicyj189 Really? Stop jerking off to mainstream artists... There's enough people doing that shit already... Start listening to real Hip Hop... Not sayin' everyone mainstream sucks, I guess even the Wu kind of went mainstream... But Kanye definitely is garbage Hip Hop wise... Lupe USED TO BE good, T.I.? Garbage... for every mainstream rapper that's good, there's at least a 100 sucking monkey balls...

[jsticks7]

@m3phisto666 lupe IS good dnt trip

[SanskritZ]

@nipthick eminem is gud tho and lupe fiasco

[rshobe1]

@nipthick but isn't nas mainstream, eniemem mainstream, talib kweill mainstream, common mainstream, kanye west mainstream, 2pac mainstream, biggie mainstream, basically all these rappers were mainstream before they got noticed, if they weren't how would people of know about them, because internet was just starting up then when they all first started, except kanywest

[051290ma]

@nipthick naw i cant say everybody ems maintream nd hes da shyt

[joojoobomb]

@nipthick how the fuck can you just categorize everyone like that? your disdain for anything "commercial" just goes to show how ridiculous your points of view are.

[ScorchinBeats]

@nipthick What about Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, K'naan. Don't tell me all mainstream sucks

[74nick74]

@nipthick your just saying that to fit in with all the other people who dont like popular rappers, popularity doesnt rove shittyness, and how is this comment even relevant to this comment hahahahaha soo random yur randommmm whata grease ru are

[Crazytaru1]

@nipthick I like hiphop but when people say that "anyone mainsteam is horrible" theyre just on the bandwagon of underground, riding dicks. Why can't someone like mainstream or underground simply because it sound good????

Why do I need to be confined to only underground hiphop. Granted, underground got the best sound but idc if it sounds good then its good (even if it's mainstream).

[o0olli3ee]

@Crazytaru1 name some good mainstream then?

[7thAFC]

@Crazytaru1 even if there is some good mainstream (i honestly can't think of any) and you support it in turn you are also supporting the bad stuff. Thats just how it works.

[mike22122]

@Crazytaru1 I feel like mainstream music is a perversion of what hip hop used to be, it's distorting the message it once held. It's not about the flash and glitz it's about the every man, the common man.

[NathanDerTighte]

@mike22122 word bro

[Flopstar80]

@Crazytaru1 Exactly if it sounds good its good. ppl gotta take lables off artist

[borisisgay56]

@Crazytaru1 cuz they're s guys like saukrates who are making real music that no one is hearing

[gogoGreen420]

@nipthick get off the underground and oldschool's dick man haha. Just the fact that someone is mainstream does not automatically make them shit. And if u do believe that, then ur going against everything underground music goes is about, quality music and keeping it about the music. Look at Outkast, Kanye west, Nas, and so on, they would be considered mainstream but have some quality songs and messages. That being said, i do mainly love 90's and less known rap and other music.. :)

[kronikflowz]

@nipthick Drakes not horrible Canada has too few artist making waves to hate on any of them espically just for blowing up

[joojoobomb]

@nipthick i realize you're saying that in defense of "real hip hop" but let's be completely honest for a minute. that's an unfair, overly broad generalization. you know as well as i do that there are artists who could be considered "mainstream" who've put out dope shit.

common is about as "mainstream" as you can be, and he's on this track for crying out loud. no disrespect, just sayin tho. peace.

[MrJordonfoster]

ya "@joojoobomb" like snoop dogg GIN AND JUICE

[TheZone990]

@nipthick i agree but drakes old flows r really amazing..

[eyesmayshine]

@nipthick tell us all something we don't know, man...

[Esco]

Drakes dope but i mean we talking big sox here

[kshirriff]

drake ain't ill

[ThaReapa]

[scamerican16]

[dietcola101]

[scamerican16]

[freestyleroller12]

im a pussy? u listen to fucking drake. u da pussy. y don't u, drake, nd lil wayne go have a fuckin three-sum. u just a bitch who don't kno shit about what real hip hop is.

[freestyleroller12]

drake barely writes any of his shit. wake the fuck up.

[TheGbigmack]

Yoh saukrates u guys are doing it for T.O keep up the good works men, you are true Hip Hopers, respect, look if you get a chance check out my Songs to, I am a trumpeter, my link is GBigmack23, doing some Christmas Reaggae, need you all Saukrates to big up my Cd GBigmack, Halla

[shiningfork]

stretch had a beat over this that was better than this or the remix forgot what it was

[proofd12ke]

some real shit i havent heard in a long while which makes me wonder who is reprezentin tha art?

[cekannn]

Who representin the art? Me, Me...xD

[soad905]

i like the original version alot better than the remix...but that is just my opinion

[bigtobe52]

Bananas...Common is the Illest! And I'm feelin' Saukrates flow and swag. On point!

[boomdizzle515]

Saukrates is Shitting On American RapperS!!!!!

[proverbialthought]

Some people can't help but look for a competition. CA, USA, who cares if it's legit hiphop that we can all nod our heads to? K-OS is probably my fav emcee right now, so props to CA; much love from the US.

[JRhemedy]

i dont find drake too amazing in my opinion. his rhymes are ok and his voice gets really annoying after awhile. the way he flows isnt the best. im not comparing any canadian artists or american artists but just for example, common in this song, or in any of his other songs. just listen to his lyrics and flows, just by his voice is better.

shad is a good one too.-

[foorforthought]

k naan aint even as nice as drake...wat u tellin us

and couple of those artists aint even heard of....so e z over there. but much love to the T.O. artists dun kno

[248kobebryant248]

those ill snares over Common. Dope track

[bringthepayne757]

classic album, forgotten artist, where saukrates been?

[IllinoizeFlyest]

check out red and meth's new song ayo, thats where he been

[peggsheg]

and also he had a song not to long ago with drake and king reign called fades away, its a sick track

[joker2782]

under-rated beyond recognition..

[Vladutzkaya]

i have a version in my pc from the Common & Mick boogie - Uncommon The Mixtape (2006) and it starts with Common's verse the beat being prod. by No I.D so i think it's the remix track but with the verses in a different arrangement

[rheathhall]

wow what the hell is wrong wit me - jan 7th 2009 - the day i heard of saukrates dang ive got alot of catching up to do

[RobinsonCruso]

12days later -

Damn dude im sitting here thinking the same :D

wonder whats waiting for me ;)

[RedThroatedLoon]

jan 23th 2009

[goldentrophy]

No shame unless your 22 and older and Canadian than that's a damn shame.

[rheathhall]

why 22 lol? .. im 18 so i guess im safe if what you say is correct lol. and whats up wit that canadian hope u wenrt being racsist in any way lol

[goldentrophy]

Nope nothing i typed was being racist I meant that if your a Canadian and your 22 and older and don't know Saukrates it's a shame because you should know him by that age and he is from Toronto.

[pokeyd85]

Im from upstate NY and have know about saukrates since the 90's. Don't forget, unlike most of the U.S, being within a few hours drive of Toronto, Canadian Hip Hop made onto the radio and videos around here. Hip Hop heads anywhere between NYC and Buffalo knew about it. Age 23, so i guess thats why as well

[KidKraze]

I'm 19, and I've known Sauks since I was in Grade 8 (What an Age Drop). The problem with the Canadian scene is that no one knows their Canadian History!

The new wave of Canadian artists are sick and w.e. but the people who started the scene seem to be long forgotten which SUCKS! Rascalz, Brassmunk, 2Rude, Citizen Kane, etc.

Best emcee to come out of Canada ALL-TIME IMO, Saukrates, just listen to "Father Time". Drake is pretty close to the best though!

[goldentrophy]

Drake is getting his shine I haven't heard any wack tracks from him but honestly I find Shad, Donmillion and last but not least Daneo to be the best Canadian emcee's. Lyrically I haven't heard any other canadian rappers that surpass them in mic skills.

[iamreallybored420]

don and shad are mad nice but drake is a joke

[bigbrar11]

lets not sleep on K-OS

[KidKraze]

not sleepin on him at all!  I thought people already knew...

[gonner709]

Drake is not even close, you invalidated your opinion by saying that. Camo, Snak, Rugged Intellect, all of Monolith crew, k'naan, Young Sin, Modulok, are all better then that degrassi ass mother fucker. Get a clue b.

[goodwiin]

i'm 13 and i know saukrates is beast

got to keep the youngins educated

[eldonroc1]

Hip Hop was so tight when I was in college (98-2002) "How I play the broads is how I play the mic"!!!!!!!

[yourboytheycallj]

i agree with you 100% chariots14  canada doesn't know they're own talent

[babylowdown]

yeah and that's a REAL damn shame...

[esskeimusic]

Chariots14 & yourboytheycallj are so RIGHT!! my people don't know their own talent. WHY you ask?? They HATE!!! SAUKRATES is CRAZY talented. K-Os CRAZY TALENTED! We have so many artists on the come up, including myself I hope my Country opens it's EYES and don't sleep on us as we come up. Shout out to GIGZ, Abyss, Shadow Skywalker, Big Tona, Famous, Andreena Mill, Drake, Natasha Waterman, Tru Paz, Classified and SOOOO many others. BRAP!!! T. DOT.

[chariots14]

Saukrates was so slept on it's untrue

[DCSHOESCA]

Bump this in the whip/blazin a blunt ready to do a fishtail/buckled in ready to spin in this shit/with a beat so heavy/it causes the chevy to pull over and give respect like Chase Chevy.

[5arge]

big sauks that ni99a, ya dig. not to mention Common. Classic colabo

[washigan]

classic!

[Axlepros]

sick
