You'll never regret it. Listen to "POS Is Ruining My Life"

[mrwhippy45]

[CommentingApple]

the fact that he has an orioles hat makes this video rule so hard, you dont see many rappers from places aside from baltimore rocking os hats

[whyisthisnottyping]

[plasmawafflez]

Lyrics are good, this is real music, sadly the reason this is not popular is cause its doesnt "move enough" but this is what rap is, not club banging bullshit..

[sillyhumans1]

[whyisthisnottyping]

[winjose805]

Thanx to lady who showed P.O.S to use the cups for his beat...dope song

[HelloOfficerGL]

He started out in punk bands, his style is so unique!

[SignoraArcobaleno]

Awww, I wanna do the thing with the cups too!

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

16 people slipped and missed the like-button

[forrestanator]

p.o.s. is the greatest rapper alive. his music is fuckin real and thas wha makes him the best..

[stefochan]

i like how he screamed "YEAH!" and still kept a smile on his face.

[stefochan]

i like how he screamed "YEAH!" and still kept a smile on his face.

[theprimeform]

what an encouraging tune

[cm2dude]

16 people were smoking PCP. They obviously missed the "like" button.

[JubilantAntics]

@cm2dude i gotta ask why even say that im just wondering?

[bambootm]

Toooooooooo doooooooooope.

[bbasketballstr11]

who said you needed bling and pimped wheels to rap?

[deepcove24]

One of my favorite videos for sure.

[theactivist7]

keeping real hip hop alive

[Luke2kz71]

this guy is fucking brilliant.

[ArkhemMusic]

Freeway go hard! Check out my mixtape! Its on my channel, feedback would be amazing good or bad! Give it 2 ears if you for real bout HIp Hop! 

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

censored version XD

still I LOVE this dude man (no homo)

just ordered this album a while ago, it's on it's way home now...

[TheBlackmamba5]

The man is a lyrical genius. . .any person who can't find some way to relate to the music of P.O.S is obviously just crazy!

[ctuchable]

Can't wait for soundset 2010! I love P.O.S.

[bringinsexybak2]

bringin real hip hop back but wit a twist...

[Frazraf]

why does listening to alternative exclude liking mainstream? if I like both P.O.S and Lil Wayne what does that make me? hating and acting superior to people who listen to mainstream will make you no better.

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

@Frazraf word

even though I hate lil wayne, hate drake, hate eminem for being a waste of skills, hate 50 cent, hate game etc. etc.

but I hate them for a reason, after hearing that the dude likes a girl's ass for the 1000th makes me lose interest

I listen to underground for the variety of topics, for the variety of beats, the variety of styles.

[xxballsonweelsxx]

@YoungDirtyCwalk eminem kinda sucks now, but how is he wasted skills? u dont like the marshall mather lp, slim shady lp, and infinite?

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

@xxballsonweelsxx you pretty much said it yourself, he's a waste of skills cause he GOT skills, he used to be nice (not THAT nice though, he was cool, but not the dopest or w/e), but he isn't anymore, like, he got the SKILLS to make good music, but he doesn't do shit with it

[xxballsonweelsxx]

@YoungDirtyCwalk i guess its kinda true, but hes still better than any other mainstream rapper even when hes not trying anymore like now

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

@xxballsonweelsxx that's true, but he's still worse than most underground MCs

[Stefanbladethief]

@YoungDirtyCwalk definitely dude

[dragon53777]

I'd like to see how this was made.....very cool....very artistic....just like P.O.S. Good job Stef.

[fonkeeOne]

great song and video

[Zeppelinemg]

Teaching my son how to reach...damn right.

[thesavvycannibal]

true that..no gay asses who listen to lil wayne diserve this true that

[thesavvycannibal]

true that..no gay asses who listen to lil wayne diserve this true that

[Keeprollin923]

i hate people that say music like this and unkown artists should be more popular. you dont want that because once they get a major record label, its not their music anymore. P.O.S is amazing and should stay the way it is. Lil Wayne for example, he sucks.. well hes always sucked but you get my point.

[Caboose2214]

Not only a good song but an amazing video.... crazy good

[PHILSFAULT1]

Very very cool. Heard GoodBye on Sirius Radio about two weeks ago.. So far I haven't found a P.O.S. song I didn't like.

[HpnTYzD]

Amazing right? Fell in love with him the first time I heard him and so far all his songs have lived up to my expectations.

[Plugster911]

dope shit!

[mh9526]

why is this HD version edited and the non-HD is not? Please fix this...

amazing song I'm a new fan

[rabidninja]

chillin shit man faved

[spaceagejerk]

i love him sneaking in Dessa on his music videos. kinda have a crush. oh, and POS makes badass fun! vids.

[keifkeif1]

does he cut all his Pittsburgh hats?

[mr3000ts]

wow, i got the 500th rating :D

dope shit!!

[BBBaby113]

yes, this is real°!°

[WeekendNacho]

wanted to give 6 stars til i rembered youtube rating

[DJVisualBoy]

Who needs drum kits nigga? I got cups

[KaiPetersonTV]

i met him at the bamboozle artist tent he's really chill

[baker1913]

she showed me how to do the thing with the cups! hes so damn smooth haha simply amazing who else could make such a simple video and make it so clean and entertaining

[chuckzilla12]

this Vid is incredible

song is dope too

doper album

[holycrapnessbatman]

dope.

[OneDeepUkrainianEBK]

need more music and talent like this

[constostatum]

been hearing about POS for a little while, but this is the first time i've actually given him a listen. absolutely amaaaazing

[moneyanyway]

sooo sick.....

[joejwt]

I saw Stefon perform in Amsterdam somewhere back in '09 (:P) and even though there was an audience of like 20 hiphopheads he gave us everything... One of the best performances I've ever seen. Gotta love him.

[themasternazgul]

Im sad to admit it, but the only reason I know of P.O.S is because of filesharing and such... but Im totally going to support his music by buying his shit after christmas :) He's too damned good to leach off the net.

[chuckzilla12]

@themasternazgul

preach

[themasternazgul]

Wtf you sayin man? I must not be down with the lingo or somethin, cuz Im not sure what you mean bro.

[chuckzilla12]

@themasternazgul

@ sayin to buy the music and support a stuggling atist and not just download everything

i download too but its a serious problem

Preach refers to the fact that i thought you were giving a statement that was the opposite of detremental to hip hop but i was clearly wrong

[themasternazgul]

Its all good man. I was just confused lol. And yeah, I support POS. and Atmosphere. and, next paycheck... im probably going to try and buy a Rhymesayer's hoodie or tshirt... since they've got some damned fine artists. :D

[wyte69allnyte]

ILL. That's all I had to say. If your racist and serve the evil mainstream shit, then you don't deserve to hear this. This is for REAL people, that know there purpose in life. Thanks and keep doing what you do!!! Peace Love Truth Positivity-ILLustrious

[MrNapt]

@wyte69allnyte thats so dumb....do you relize that pos probly likes tons of mainstream artist

[wyte69allnyte]

@MrNapt I highly doubt it bro. Have you listened to mainstream's music and then this? The style is definitely original, which I'm sure he studies underground artists to find his originality.

[MrNapt]

@wyte69allnyte well of curse im sure he studies underground but thats just insnae to act like he doesnt enjoy some of the people on the raadio

and just cause you dont sound like another artist doesnt mean you dont like them

[knut005]

It's something about this song that i just love ! I'm so fucking happy i found this song ! The beat is unique !

[randomyogi]

i read all the comments and they all deserved a thumbs up. great music.

cant stop playing this over and over.
