  • Macs isn't bad... both good in their own way. Stop comparing two completely different artists.

  • Five years, and still under 1 million views. ..

  • Anybody else notice how happy Mos looks when he raps.

    he truly epitomizes the mantra of "Do What you love, Love what you do."

    An inspiration to us all :)

  • Come to my channel, listen to: Shaan Silva Beats - String Wings, its smoooth....check it oooout:DDD

  • mos def gra w wwa niedługo, takie info dla polaków :D 

  • Great song, so smooth... Mos Def is one of the few artists who can really turn your life in the right direction with their music and that's exactly what he has done to me. I'm so grateful to him and the others (Black Thought, Common, Talib Kweli, Guru, ...) for this. Let's just hope that this kind of music will make a return someday in the future...

  • one of the finest lyrics and vibe

  • OWNED

  • Speaking from a djs perspective, this classic was underrated at time due to the lack of a good 12" instrumental version readily available to help us djs incorporate this track in our sets. This was before the days of serato. Nowadays djs can edit their own "mix friendly" edits or actually ruin a good song by making their own remix that they'd rather play instead of the original In hindsight it was probably a good thing that this wasn't played out by 1999 or ruined by inept remixes

  • man i miss hip hop.. i wish they never stopped making it...

  • @ThePerQLator They never did. This was never played on the radio. Neither is Black Milk...I recommend you check him out if you like real hip hop. Or J. Medeiros. Real hip hop is EVERYWHERE if you look. Enjoy. :)

  • classic and still stands the test of time.........

  • thanks to all my uploaders and shit.

  • real hip hop....eighty9.bandcamp.com

  • love this song! old schools gotz to make a comeback!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 23 people don't get out enough... shame

  • Give me you your friend's address so I can come over and "beat" some sense into him as well. I'm tired of ignorant so called hip hop fans. I understand that most newbies that say stupid things were still to young in the late 90s to be able to appreciate some of the real hip hop that was poppin at the time, but damn! The whole genre is only about 35 years old! Step your game up. I'm also tired of all the mcs out there that are supposedly paying homage to the original artists and then convenient

  • LOL playing this song and my friends like

    "yoo this is a sick remix to mac"

    I boxed him right in the head

  • killer tune and the twin towers in the background! they got blown up and the 3rd wtc7 as a justification for the military industrial complex to conduct the lucrative business that is war on behalf of the tax paying citizens...

    peace!

  • @YeahBuddy4000 - Noone Cares!

  • Great song

  • memoriesssssssssss

  • love this song my god girl im coming back to you someday

  • essa é minha!!

  • for all these cats talkin about "some kid gonna be better", holla back here when he gets there! til then mos is def top ten all time......

  • this is worse than the ranjahz  /watch?v=usdkTWHzGiE&feature=B­Fa&list=FLP-o7XuZgMuqLW-8ykVHW­hg&lf=mh_lolz

  • whos version do u guys think is better,, this one or mac millers?

  • I prefer this than whack millers..

  • LMAO @ the people honestly saying Mac Miller´s version was better than Mos´ version. Like Kweli said "Your arms are too short to box with God", in this case God is Mos, and the one who´s arms are too short is Mac Miller.

  • @MEITZIJORAA your so cool.

  • @kolbaszosrajaspizza STILL BUMPEN THIS HIT NEVER GETS OLD MAN

  • @Fuwestside4

    Wiz is corny, just my opinion though, in all seriousness though no one in the rap game touches blackstar, and I say that without even being a major blackstar fan.

  • @eddykay33 ...funny...

  • some serious shit right here takes me back during the thorough days of hip hop, that will be what? the 90's son

    

  • 3 guys claim to have broken the guiness world record

    the first guy says he has the longest fingernails

    the second guy says he has the biggest ears

    the third guy says he is the best MC

    they all go to the guiness world record museum to check if they are right

    the first guy runs out and says "yes i do have the longest fingernails!"

    the second guy runs out and says "yes i do have the biggest ears!"

    the third guy walks out mad and says "who the fuck is Mos Def !?"

  • @splitlee2evol lmao. thats funny

  • @splitlee2evol thats raw

  • @splitlee2evol lame.

  • @splitlee2evol LMAO! Thats too funny!

  • showing some nostalgia WTC love!!!

  • clue clue clue clueminataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! : )

  • damn...lol people still talking about iilumanati

  • travellin man is slang for someone in the illuminati, explains why this record is so deep

  • The thing I love about Mos Def is that is that at times it feels like he isn't even rapping, like he doesn't have to, his words just flow. This song is epic thank you for the upload.

  • @j4callen Your right I should appreciate different styles that's why I can't get with wack ass Wayne him and every auto-tune baby sound the freakin same and recognize this son J-Cole is the coldest new artist out ..........but he's not gettin' any pub I grew up on Hip-Hop and I'm a B-Boy @ heart so if your ish can't get me to the dance floor it probably ain't worth listen to. I know Roger Trautman turning in his grave@ the abuse of auto-tune.

  • @MrDwise1 the coldest new artist is jay elctronica then j cole

  • epic song

  • GOOD SHIT DJ HONDA

  • did he say its that blood shit?

  • 21 people are fine watching hiphop die

    

  • @craigslistflow i agree, its my fave mos def song, im a hip hop head to me this song is the shit...the remix thats 5min long is better tho lol ....pce...fuck mac miller

  • 19 dislikes you corny Lil' Wayne listen to MuahF!@&#'s

  • @MrDwise1 I dig this and Wayne. Learn to appreciate all different styles.

  • @j4callen It ain't about learning, for most people who dig lyrics, Lil Wayne is wack, AK-47 is my adress... the fuck is that!? You might like his delivery, flow, technique... but considering metaphors, wordplay, rhyme scheme, punchlines... meeeh...

  • If aliens came I just show em this song, we traveling too

  • its that universal sound

  • he dresses fresh like its 2011 in this video

  • "hositlity" stole dj honda's logo

    THAS JUST DUMB

  • @blove694 Nobody read this guy's comment aloud!

  • amazing song yo

  • i think this song was good

  • '98=last great year for hip hop

  • '98= last great year for hip hop....

  • @5100area r u crazy ? I fux wit lil b but he aint seein mighty mos

  • lil b kills his version of this song. check out harbreak by him.

  • my go to chillin song

  • 1st Mac didnt even try to come up with an original beat, he's just singing over Dj Honda's track, that equals lazy and fail period. As for a new cat can't say, but as a lazy one, he's real good! He will never be great, never. Hip Hop is predicated on sampling old to make new, but shit if you cant even try the Vanilla Ice add a beat approach then well, you,re not as good as Vaniila Ice and thats sad for a black man!

  • @gfan1972 It's called a cover you fucking idiot.

  • @eagledynasty81 WOW you maybe the dumbest person I have seen on here, really a cover, omg a cover?! Dumbass a cover means doing the song over not just singing over someone else's cover, a cover that was nothing like the original. That may be a bit much for you to get so here goes, Dj Honda took the original track and changed it to create a new version of the song, Mac just sang over that exact track that Dj Honda produced so not a cover just a lazy attempt at raping, and a bad one at that.

  • @gfan1972 remix, cover same shit. Rappers do this all the time.

  • @eagledynasty81 Remix? Dude are you like 9 years old? Remix would mean he actually changed the song, which he didnt change the tark at all. Dude its not a remix or a cover its kareoke you fuck tard! nopw grow up and learn some shit before ypou speak or type!

  • @gfan1972 I hope you're fucking trolling. If not, you're one stupid fuck. He rapped over the same track, with different lyrics. That's not kareoke at all you idiot.

  • @eagledynasty81 Dude then you just proved my point, scroll up and look where you call it a "cover" Guess i was right and thank you for pointing it out, now get to bed you got 5th grade in the A.M. boy, lol!!!!!!! So FYI that makes you the "Fucking idiot." Now dont it, fucking idiot lmfao!!!!!!!

  • @gfan1972 you're a terrible troll.

  • @eagledynasty81 word up

  • My asshole makes better noises than this song. Mac Miller for the win

  • @Okdokey2 Mos Def will SHIT on Mac anyday. More talent.

  • Mac Miller version > than this

    this is still good though

  • @Degenerate999 your sad for saying this... either your speaking outta your ass cause you never actually listened to Macs material, or your just hating on a new cat thats coming out with real strong stuff and keeping hip hop alive... Mac Miller is unreal, for a new cat anyways... NOT better than Mos, not at all, but he doesn't suck... ignorant comment

  • @Quikster220 Word. So many people just hate on new guys in the game simply for being new. Mac raps on old school beats, and doesn't lax.

  • Look at Mos lookin so young, still beautiful but just gets better with time!

  • di honda- a dead man walking!!! lolmao does he also work in some morgue/motuary or something,tight track thou!!!!!

  • macs better!!!!!!!!

  • @SnizBeatzProductionz if your talking bout mac miller then thats sad mac miller sucks.

  • when did this song come out

  • @marvelest :recorded in 1997,but released in March 24 1998,hope it helped dawg!.,1

  • Dj honda is scary as fuck....

  • the people who clicked dislike have no soul

  • mac miller stole this?

  • @liamakakidcudi96 he did his own cover of it, all artists do it

  • @liamakakidcudi96 there's a thing called cover. it's when other artists cover the original song and do their own thing with it.

  • awww this is some good...*sigh*

  • classic

    

  • reminds me of a rap show when i was a kid, and i do remember this song. so long time since then

  • I swear Ive heard a Cee-Lo-Green remix to this?? anyone know where I can find it??

  • DC all over the world XD

  • such memories of smoking up to this song!! he will always be a legend

  • why does mos def remind me of "Monkey Magic"?? (old asian show)

  • CLÁSSICO!

  • @IiMZSlyboy Mac is pretty good for a rookie, but im gonna have to go with this 1 nigga.

  • Now i know where Mac Miller got it from. Im not sure who's i like better, but Mos Def is still one of my favorites, and one of the best.

  • Mos def one of the greatest..can listen to this track til im eight hundred and ninety nine..pure classic..any haters should die..die slowly

  • Fucking rapgame... WHy do you guys keep rapping? quit rap, Mos Def destroys you all!

  • I remember puttin this on at night and chillin with my thoughts ... shit i love it

  • who ever pressed the dislike button needsa slap

  • R.I.P. East Coast Hip-Hop...

  • @xX718flaco718Xx east coast hip hop isn't dead for many reasons...mos def is still making music, wu tang is forever, and plus even if you don't like mac miller, wiz khalifa or any of those dudes, pittsburgh is doin it big right now and that is technically East Coast shit right there.

  • yea the goods era of music

  • hahaha...one of the top comments was that old school hip hop had more meaning and wasn't about weed, sex, or money. Ummm...Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee, 2 Live Crew, NWA....lol jokes
