Jehst - Liquid Diction

[myowncamera1]

fuck yea this is dope shout out from sydney australia get drunk

[tinderbox83]

@ ukf.. Jehst sounds like he's handicapped trying to rap.. U.S. Hip hop is dead? You crazy, making me laugh.. MCs in my hometown could rip Jehst in half

[tinderbox83]

Uk rappers all sound terrible! The only way they can stay on point is annoyingly overextending words... They got no flow, their cadences all lame and chunky.

EG... "so you got to feel the hunger in your tummmm-yyyy" - some lame european rapper

[UKFskateboarding]

@tinderbox83 Are you serious? He has amazing flow, you're just unbelievably ignorant. I think you're jealous because US hip-hop is pretty much dead XD

[theovercoats]

bill it up!

[murdaration]

INSTRUM ANYONE ??

[theweberjosh]

Love it!!!!!!!!!!! 

[SouthCoastHipHop]

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

[BARRICAIDE]

if you like underground uk hip hop check out some of dan lambert's tracks. Hes practically unheard of, so underated its stupid. peace

[BATTLEAMP1]

If you actually love uk Hip Hop you should search "Potent Whisper - Sunrise"

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

[binner69er]

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Jehst is brilliant.

[oxfordkingpin24]

this sounds similar to that one song on that anime called samurai or something, look it up

[MrSodaBelly]

@oxfordkingpin24 samurai champloo bitch

[michiyoyoshiku]

@oxfordkingpin24

Samurai Champloo?

[AaronHenley88]

backing on this puts my mind blank

[Imadicted2weed]

Only 33,520 veiws....... WTF is going on?

This tracks sick!!!!

[ilias900]

he sounds a little like shing02 sometimes

[SEENBLUD]

best rapper alive , fuck wayne, jehst got that number 1 spot in my book without a fuckin doubt

[benji209]

Right finally I have uploaded the Orginal Speed Recording...

[NecroNomiconJesus]

_DOPE_

[RATH3RUNIQUE]

yo this is some smooth, old school boom bap type shit....i like it....big ups to jehst, the only rapper from the uk i can listen to besides slick rick

[cef0930]

@RATH3RUNIQUE listen to lewis parker. crazy shit bro

[graveey]

@RATH3RUNIQUE whaaat??!! i love my hip hop but never realised slick rick was born british, sick! cheers for that.

[benji209]

It's a shame whoever recorded this version has sped it up slightly (probably left it on 33 instead of quartz lock)...

Which is why Jehst sounds slightly higher pitch and odd...I can't listen to this one after mine, it's too wierd...

Fortunately for me I have the vinyl and a really good quality recorded digital version too :)

Released on vinyl back '99! Part of the Premonitions EP (for those who don't know)

[BZARR1]

Jehst aint no shame? Are you kidding me?! no matter what peice o' work of Jehst's, it's all Golden.

Im suprised to hear that there is a 'slower version'? Hopefully not an edited 'chopped-and-screwed' version. Is there anyways you can send me a lil taste of thiss?

[benji209]

You misunderstood, of course Jehst is an amazing poet-mc...wtf would I say any different on one of his best tracks and one of favourite of all time.

This version isnt chopped/screwed or edited, whoever recorded the vinyl,(as this is only via Premonitions) recorded this slighly fast (so maybe they left it instead of listening for the perfect speed - .

Yeh I guess I could email you the proper version...or I could just put it up myself ;p

[benji209]

Original speed recording is now on my channel...

[mcjamieb123]

@BZARR1 the slower version is the original but both versions are fine with me jehst is by far the best lyricist on the planet

[BZARR1]

Hm... ya, put'r up and lets check it out. I cant realy imagine hearing it any slower... but maybe, it would sound kyna cool, Jehst's voice does sound a bit fast n'ths one.

[flowbot3030]

@BZARR1 the slower version is much better lad

[iusetheinternet]

@benji209 just search for original speed liquid diction. It sounds miles better, hes not a chipmunk!!

[zigga123a]

@benji209 NO ONE CARES YOU CUNT,STOP BRAGGING.

[benji209]

@zigga123a ...twat...get a life....

[Mrsnap06]

First heard this shit years ago and every time I'veheard this song on my travels it's always been at this speed.

[chasie46]

@benji209 shut up gay

[japanigro]

@benji209 waaaat this is the original speed, get your hearing checked man

[SgtSprinklepie]

@benji209 Thought the same thing myself.....but i overthink alot. good to know im not paranoid.

[giroyagetme]

@benji209 lmao iv hadd this for ages i just asumed this was done b4 his voice broke haha any chance puttin the real versions up fella ?

[giroyagetme]

@benji209 all good just clocked it on the right nice one

[Jenko696969]

Jehst になんという曲であるかがイギリスという所の１つである最も素晴­らしいです

[bassjunkie456789]

yeah it does sound a bit nas-ish but unmistakeably jehst...sick shit

[12TheNobleSavage]

This simple liquid diction that I dote on

is only a thimble full of fluid from

the emotional ocean that I float on

Romantic notions I wrote on dead trees,

I retrieve the scrolls and breathe below the dead sea surface, liquid lung, liquid tongue, the traps that the serpent sets are swiftly sprung yet my heroes are still unsung so im singing, while all your hum drum gunslinging didnt ring true in the beginning you, didnt think it through, living in the zoo, too much power abused by the few.

[adeymate]

what was this released on?

[OxtricksAlex]

I start to advance beyond the norm, the new form, the children of the form, become riders of the storm when provided platforms for expression this construction of percussion is an outlet for aggression and destruction of direction as i'm swept aside, i try to rise above it but ascension is denied, i'm divided, tongue tied and silent. I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent.

[BZARR1]

dude, wats the heck s te matter with you!?!?! you got'it all wrong my friend!@ I start to advance, become the norm, the new form; The children of the corn become riders of the storm When provided platforms for expression This construction of percussion is an outlet For aggression and discussion of direction As I'm swept aside I try to rise above it But ascension is denied I'm divided, tongue-tied and silent I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent Liquid diction

[nardcore7805]

Wow. Is it weird that as I'm reading your comment, that part of the song starts to play as I read.

Just awesome

[jaytonbye]

He's right about beyond the norm though... this shit's dope.

[comakid4000]

@BZARR1 dude, wats the heck s te matter with you!?!?! you got'it all wrong my friend!@

it's 'beyond the norm'

and

'riders on the storm' - in reference to the song of that name

[SkemeKOS]

@BZARR1

it sounds more like "i start to advance beyond the norm"

[squodge1]

@BZARR1 and the uploader went and got it wrong as well. Dude...become the norm? Nah - BEYOND the norm. Otherwise it wouldn't even make sense. Wicked tuune.

[AphasiaUK]

reminds me a bit of nas

[pascalcross]

good u can heard "the notorious big" inspiration

[BZARR1]

what?

[pascalcross]

i m french i don't understand what u say but u 're Rap is good

[QuikDrawMcRaw]

@pascalcross Huh ?

[BIGTXX]

Ro-mantic notions i wrote on dead trees.

[rolfey88]

jthescruff i totally agree, jehsts offbeat rhymin and deep content are sick, shame it hasnt rely bn followed up

[arcadeatemyqrtr]

his flow is something like shing02's. pretty great

[atraherne]

Wondezee, Raz Pro. Really recomend you check those cats out!

[conceptual0theorist]

brother. thanks for the reco MEND ation. naturally i will. peace and check out my channel you ip op junkie. peace and respect to ally all

[jthescruff]

if only the ukhiphop scene had continued to embrace jehsts style of wordplay instead of the more grimey mc sound. was a more credible musical movement. only in my opinion of course. ;)

[atraherne]

Yeah, yeah I here you, I'm not into grime although the odd tune can sound pritty heavy.

There is a tonne of really nice UK hip hop, you just gotta look for it. Have a flick through some of my saved vids, you might find a couple heavy tracks. Particularly feeling these cats from Brighton.

[atraherne]

D Rebellious one has a cool track not on youtube though, check his myspace Fear it feat Gudz. Cool Manchester accent, refreshing change to London accent.

[Bevan5]

@jthescruff pure truth right there mate, 100% agree.

[SEENBLUD]

@jthescruff , i completely agree , hes a modern day poet

[MusikMAKER111]

Am an Indie rocker and could never see maself listenin to this kind of music but all this london underground hip hop is growin on me. great tune :)

[hotjoe3]

uk, and german rap nutn but the best

[ueberall11]

Can you reccomend me some good German hip hop?I know a little (fanta vier,advanced chemistry,fettes brot,freundeskreis,jazzkantine­) but it hasn't quite won me over yet...

[mariosza]

yo try sammy deluxe,absolutte beginner,blumentopf,afrob,ferr­is mc,torch...raptile is from germany but he raps in english,strawberry twins...check dj tomekk ft.gza-ich lebe fur hip hop,or dj tomekk ft.krs one...im polish u should listen 2 our hh scene

[ueberall11]

Thanks for the suggestions...I know Blumentopf but haven't got into them yet, I'm not a fan of Absolute Beginner...Torch is ok! Shall check out the other names, thanks.

[helmhashis]

Dark Circle is sorta german lol im sure 1 of them raps on german, not sure but they are dope

[JemPear]

Sido is awesome!

try sido hey du

[Renrussian]

True poet indeed.

[shamploo82]

true poet!

[orphinemorph08]

sorry "leighton 1911" maybe in 1911 your poets were prized as the "One and only", but other nations poets have taken a lesson and learned to raise their fist against oppresive conservative assholls through poetry!

[leighton1911]

are you talkin to me or behind my back or what...

[manclyf]

absolute shit song tbh

[mustbeluan]

Haha. Uk hip hop is the one. but america is going strong just because you haven't heard the right artists.

[soccerfan300]

Jehst is SHIT

fuck uk rap, its shit

[Praying4tidalWaves]

says the canadian...USA's hat...

[rarebeats77]

just discoverewd this guy, usually most uk hip hop is shit but this great!

[atraherne]

Mate, if you just discovered this guy, you don't know UK hip hop very well, yeah, heavy tune though

[rarebeats77]

i tend to listen to american hip hop moslty, I do know my hip hop, i remember listening to this like 8 years ago but never gave it much thought

[leighton1911]

yeah mate if you only listen to channel U you might think that.you say u know your hip hop.what do you know bout Lowkey, Foreign beggars, Chester P, Life Mc, micall parknsun and real shit like that.none of that fake american stuff.

[rarebeats77]

channel u is the biggest pile of shit i've ever seen in my life, hip hop orientated from america, i've made better stuff in college, but thats my opinuion

[leighton1911]

yeah i know channel u is shit and that's why i said u think uk hip hop is shit because that's the only uk hip hop u know obviously if u only just found out bout jehst u obviously know fuck all.your probably listening to foreign beggars now thinkin how the fuck didn't i know about these.everyone knows hip hop came from brooklyn you bell end but it died in america bout 10 years ago.

[rarebeats77]

u r telling me stuff i already know, i said uk hip hop is USUALLY shit, not all uk hip hop is shit. yes u r right about it dying ten years ago but i dont't get frustrated with people on youtube telling them what they know and don't and calling them bel ends because I'm not a sad cunt

[leighton1911]

you are a sad cunt.your saddest muthafucka ive seen on here i heard enough of you to know that your fuckin joke

[rarebeats77]

your moody

[rarebeats77]

i just looked at some of your vids, there absolutley wank, i can tell i know i lot more about good music than you do, infact this is the only song i like of jehst

[leighton1911]

you nuthin about nuthin mate trust me.i bet you never even been high properly you fuckin pussyole

[rarebeats77]

i've heard of all of those artists

[jemal99]

this is more the ill, this is an addiction !

[19MJsPr89]

He's from Sussex originally, but moved to West Yorkshire in his teens. I think he recorded Premonitions in Leeds. His voice sounds different in his early recordings.

[NaturalThreat1]

No. Wrong. He's from Kent. I grew up near and with him. He was born in Kent. Then moved to Sussex.. Then up to Huddersfield for a bit..

Skinnyman ran away from Leeds as a younger.. Apart from that i don't know where you got Leeds from bud.

[officialdeapz09]

why the fuck duz he sound so different on dis tune ?

[mountjarvis]

ws off his first ever release 10 years ago now he was young

[blaza59]

PrayingForTidalWaves..ere you go mate

jehst braintax & scorzayzee 1xtra freestyle

[Praying4tidalWaves]

very niiiiiice.

[atraherne]

deep

[busterp08]

dont get me wrong Jehst is just my personal favourite.. there are many great rappers about. like i also love klashnekoff braintax sonnyjim.. rhyme asylum r too dope.. few american artists i like tho.. mf doom is too old school nw. but he was brilliant!! common is top notch and wu tang r the shit..

[alanmorrison1986]

check out prince ea...hes dope

[blaza59]

JESHT has spat on a 50cent beat...sounded sick aswell, but i know what you mean.. i perefer UK beats tbh.

[Praying4tidalWaves]

you know where i can hear that?

[ke70sa]

Its just like he is incapable of making a bad track.

[busterp08]

william shields aka jehst best rapper ever.. standard... i dnt care wht anyone says at all. no rapper is on the same level. and i have a fukin room fulll of hip hop.

[chazzi0]

couldn't have said it better myself

[marxistsoldier]

agreed

[turnbugu]

Hes definitely is one of the most insightful and his use of imagery is inspiring to say the least. The only emcee i think comes close in that sense is maybe mos def. But how do you compare jehst and MF DOOM or atmosphere? You can't. Different +es to everyones styles. Your opinion definitely has a strong base, though.

[lassie55]

one of my favourite songs, makes your mind float away to another world, reminds me of decorations in a room at night, or a garden at night

[OverflowC]

To robdibbles, imagine jehst on a 50 cent beat.. it just wouldn't work. Jehst shines because he turns basic beats into such a harmony.

Feeling stressed, day been long;

Chill the F out with 'THE JELLY SONG';

Want a laugh?

/watch?v=ikCZF1NaW5w

[robdibbles]

he needs better beats! Then he'd shine.

[JamieBarnes11]

Sorry mate but his beats are sick! Alcoholic Author and City Of Industry?? Dope beats!!!

[robdibbles]

wow, city of industry is fuckin ill! ur right bro! Alcoholic author is pretty coo as well.

[thomasbois]

this is a nice beat bro

[christin01]

omg this is awsomeee !

[fdilkgdfkgjdf]

great track

dope flow

[65c]

this guys ait..... but a cool ait....

[Anabolics00]

where can i find this song and carpe diem to buy/download?

[impatientp]

its on premonitions ep... rare as shit. ebay maybe

[badaski82]

deep lyrics man, jehst kills it.. why cant more hip hop be like this instead of this gangster bull.. uk all da way

[JSLTQDG]

brraaap jhest. Big up E8, reppin ends.

Hold tight bruvas from da east.

london old time target.

[Drowzy805Nomics]

Jehst is so fucken sick.

[sillian1st]

He sounds so much more northern than return of...

[83BarFly]

It's funny that you say that. In interviews he's said that he made more of an effort to disguise his accent on the Premonitions EP than any of his other recordings.

[IYANDIY]

jehst got some wide appeal huh? what do you make of a non-american voice up in canada?

gotta dig jehst...anyone else you like in UK??

[bassjunkie456789]

cheers for that il keep my eyes peeled

[bassjunkie456789]

what ep is this on and where can i find it?

[benji209]

It's on the Premonitions ep, which is out of press and only available on vinyl, look on ebay i suggest, thats where i got mine, and i got mine about 4 years ago.

Oh and btw, there person who put this on here has put the speed up too high, it shud be 33 rpm or quartz lock if you got that! ITS MUCH BETTER AT ORIGINAL SPEED!!!

[hayzejk]

i need more beats like this, chilled out and thoughtful yet still kickin, and street, people help me out.

[fatenomary]

anything by j dilla or madlib...

[armpitdotnet]

I think Evil Ed donew the beat.

And Premonitions was never out on CD.

[jaffaorange187]

anyone know hu produced this beat or does he do his own beats? big tune

[kennyy921]

the song was sped up, i have the original, and its slower and his voice is tad deeper, the song however is ill. and i have the lyrics. amazing.

[83BarFly]

dont suppose you know if premonitions was ever released on cd?

[BLAQXMASQ]

1 MY FAVS NO DOUT!!!!!!

[iiivan91]

SICK

[AbattoirDream]

this is ill.

[0spliff0]

his best tune me thinks

[ikkleerik]

How old was he when he recorded this? His whole delivery has matured massively

Ill song though, cheers for the upload bruv

[Renegadeproject]

This is the deal,this should have been played in the NYC instead of the other BS.

[SeND06]

tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuune. jehst is sikest UK spitter along wiv Braintax

[Fabio718]

damn then it must be some rare shit

[leefuze]

Thanks for putting this up mate...

[BZARR1]
