[iLikeGoodMusak]

This is a Great Video. You all should check out Vthov's music. Finally someone speakin some real shit. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" He makes great music.

[NYCEcreamNERD]

When I first saw this movie two years ago, I was really shocked that in 60's there already was wu Tang Clan..:D:D...I mean that RZA/Wu Tang tatoo in scene where Russell Crowe is with his new narcotic detective group. It was kinda hilarious to see RZA's tatoo in this scene... But stil I love this movie. It's a great classical gangster movie with awesome story, great cast and even greater production. Ridley Scott did a good work.

[tetrak]

no bro you got it wrong wu tang clan wasnt around back then. they just put them into the movie at t hat time.

[NYCEcreamNERD]

...Yea man I know.... I was just really amused, cause "american gangster" was (like you said) suited to 60's...and than I saw his Wu tang tatoo and said damn RZA did RZA started his game up in 60's ?...:D:D:D...

[illslapyoutwotimes]

This video is great. You all should check out Vthov. He's a nobody right now, but I think he's going places for real. Search "Vthov Original Song". You'll see what I'm talking about.

[irongears1]

racist motherfucker

[irongears1]

pac hates whites who cares i mean that monkeys been dead for quite sometime i never liked him anyway he can hate whites an other races all he wants he aint alive no more

[LKKRISME]

you don't know shit about pac.

talk about things you actually know something about.

[irongears1]

hey you Bubble headed booby what do you know about it you Jabbering Judas

[bigboss310]

2pac never hated white people or any races he just exposed facts and truth and what black people go through and what their struggles are on daily basis if u listen to him he says it in his rhymes ........know your shit before u talk shit u ignorant fuck...

"Lets both black and white, lets smoke crack tonight"

-2pac

[irongears1]

whatever you SAY BUSTEDBOSS310

[bigboss310]

10 year old

[bigboss310]

ye i can tell your maturity by your insults obviously u would know nothing about what tupac teaches

[llllretchllll]

rza was on his part but i wish he got a bigger one

haha i love how it say "t.i. OR t.i.p."

[puffdalah]

man im stuk on this movie doe i like how they put this out

[eneffecto]

LA RAJA.

[tswagg504]

what amazed me was the buisness tactics that Frank used with no education..people go to college for years to understand what he already knew...this movie inpired me to start my own buisness..LEGAL THOUGH!

[dapunkof1975]

He was very good in the Film

[outrageousmusic]

i was SO DRUNK!! an i was Rappin with RZA Last night on stage in Liverpool shit! My insperation it was MAD still!!!

[Packersfan34]

RZA looks soo high

[deepelmdesciple]

I don't know about T.I. though... I mean, he's talented, but RZA and Common are geniuses who have paid their dues for years and NEVER sold out.

[haider22122]

true, artists who have been around long are great, common and rza included

[sodeserving]

I like T.I. but I have to agree with you. He is not in the same catagory as Common and RZA but hey.

[TDO59]

NEVER sold out?

Have u seen Common's gap ads?

[twiztidlestat]

Thats whats cool about ALL the rappers in this film, Is that its not the untalented rappers of the world. Its all the talented ones.

Rza is amazing, Common is a genius, And Ti, is just what is good about the south. Also TI seems very humble, Which is rare in hip hop

[RussianBlates]

OgloC2 You're an idiot, the phrase is "he's your favourite producer's favourite producer". like people say about Dilla. Get it right dickhead!

[theo714]

fuck all yall rza n rakim r the best rappers ever no question nas doesnet even compare

[dougi]

rza rules

[juzfresh34]

1. Yall quit hatin on 50 we all kno he sux but he got money

2.Nas is an Will alwayz be real an yes i do rap homeplaya

But then again if u hatin they must be doin somethin right

[yomomslover0569]

just cause 50 making money doesnt mean shit... he sucks and he shouldnt be making that much money if youre gonna base salary on talent..

[Dubie2014]

50 made 150 mill last year does he deserve it?

[Deviloftrade]

no. the irony of rap is that, generally, more talented artists always sell less

[KillaCdaLegend]

he don't make the doe off rapping its from clothing, stocks, shoes,drinks, and many more

[lilscranap]

50 makes club shit, he knows how to get dat money, he made a concert in kosovo and 25 000 tickets were sold fo 8 hours

[Guerilla333]

He has money but no mother fucking talent! Open your eyes, 50 is shit!

[superhokidoki]

50 cent es una mierda,........no es rap ni es nada,........dnd esta el rap de antes?

[Louieblanco]

STOP THE IGNORANCE!!! HERE IS THE LIST OF THE BEST MC'S ALIVE...

NUMBER ONE: NaS (The greatest of all times).

NUMBER TWO: Common ( Nice with Methafores).

THREE: The RZA ( Great Producer, Wu-tang).

[Guerilla333]

quit the shit lol, learn to spell metaphores!!!!

[lzputnam22]

Seriously!? If you are going to rip on someone for misspelling methaphors and then misspell it yourself then you should rethink what you are doing with your life.

[Guerilla333]

dam.... LOL LOL LOL, looks whos spelt it wrong too!!! izputnam22.

"In literary use, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin rhetorical trope)"

[stokkkedxD]

Nas, the illest.

[lalaman288]

SALAMALAKIM MY BROTHA

[onerthing00]

rza is the worst fucking rapper ever, producer..ok, but rapper eat a dick

[vizion49]

rza's the shit who the fuck do you like?

[OgLoC2]

producer....ok, what the fuck have you produced. he's a legend, hes your favorite producers producer.

[dirtysouthernhotshot]

man wtf..uve probably never heard him spit

[locd2death]

stop dick riding. i hate rappers who only talk about money and shit.

but what makes u think nas is the shit ?? cuz he talks about 'whats real' ???

hell naw, bet u hella money this nigga is just like everyone..

like Pac said.. FAME; something we all adore.

dont blame mainstream rappers for whats gay about hiphop.. fuckin underground artists are fake too.. talkin about they care about the world.. pssst, yea right.. stfu, its cuz they aint gettin money like mainstream mc's do.. they hate !

[cityzenart]

I agree, it's all artistry, wheteher you like it or not, good or bad, real or fake, slummin' or blingin'. I focus more on the delivery and talent rather than the content. In summation, I enjoy what I like, plain and simple. Most of ya'll are scared to say what you like cuz somebody WILL come along and dis you for it, so ya'll dis before they do.

[Thewarriors79]

What do you mean he was great in the movie? Common didnt hav ani lines mothafucka

[chaaoos]

whoa, RZA is actually wearing his Nike headband right side up. he's the total shit, one of if not the greatest hip-hop minds ever.

[RealKingLate]

it was funny in the film when frank lucas killed the owner. ,,you wanna kill me before these people? so come on!" BANG! :D

[RealKingLate]

common was great in the movie

[SOSOMEE]

great movie

[NaSismename]

rza gives credit to jigga

[sage153565]

funny how rza has a wutang tat in the 1970s lmoa

[hiphoprebirthletsgo]

yeah I noticed that 2 I thought it was weird, I mean they didn't even say anything about it? thats weird I think

[intergalacticcircles]

Rza is a scientist

[NaSismename]

best comment ever...i mean he is no scientist but yeah you right, he somehow is...

[BrianPsychicBabystar]

He's a lyrical and musical scientist in the production lab

[pics1301]

he's not he's a rapper

[RealKingLate]

bullshit! asshole :D

[pics1301]

go fuck yourself cunt

[kingpuff10]

dude he aint just a rapper... 50 cent thats just a rapper he gets a call from a producer with a new beat goes to the studio rights a few versus comes up with a good hook and makes a "rape song" now the rza he makes beats and raps and controls the ideas of an entire clan of hip hop artists.. he aint just a rapper show some fucking respect!

[pics1301]

shut your fuckin pie-hole kingfaggot

[kingpuff10]

oh yah? why cause im right man learn some lessons bout hip hop if u dont respect dont say shit!

[pics1301]

oh ya kingcocksucker

[Wolf00118]

50 cent sucks woo!

[FiXRUppR]

50 does suck, even underground artists are WAY better den his candycane bullshit that he puts out...

[vizion49]

50 doesn't suck there's too many haters, do you raP?

[DamienTG777]

he's definitely a scientist!

[Fad3r]

rza was pretty good in the film, and knows what hes talking about too - an intelligent dude unlike a lot of dumb rappers

[Luk1112]

RZA is kinda like a pessimist who speaks of all the negatives in the world to try and reshape society. where as common is an optimist who speaks of the positves in the world to reshape society as well. T.I. is just wack.

[H2DAEMZ]

dam bei!!u 4 real..or just plain psycho how do you know that about them ? did they tell you?lol

[free2spite]

yo

rza is a legend

common is putting hiphop on life support

then shitty rappers like TI come along rappin bout cars and shit

man

common and rza + wutang is some real rappers

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

[viraj01]

ya man wutang forever and if you don't know rza and gza and all other member from wu-tang then you don't know true hiphop very well

[lnsproductions]

my man.

you know what i mean. rza

[razorraymarv]

The RZA is THE most talented, innovative and hardest working hip hop musician of the last 2 decades: A master producer, brilliant mc, fine actor, movie soundtrack scorer and arranger, good actor, writer, social commentator and raconteur..Yet it's amazing how overlooked he is..This guy should be considered the main voice of the hip hop generation of the last 20 years..NOT 50 cent, Jay Z or Ice cube ( with respect to the latter 2)..or even Tupac for that matter (RIP)

[shogunlord]

word is born

its amazing how he didnt shine more then them

but hey look at dre after the chronic he's not really all that known any diffrent then the rza nahmeen

[straightgenius]

rzarecta in yo secta

[irontighe]

rza is a jack of all trades also known as a triple threat acting* composing* mcin/producin/djin*. he's 1 talented guy if u ask me! peace wu-tang forever

[chaaoos]

RZA is so great. I love how he does his mini giggle and says "kna mean?" gets me every time.

[ASDgrim]

wu tang forever god

[Remedynr]

i think TI is shit. besides lookin all mad and angry in the videos i dont think this brother has what it takes to be a great emcee in a lirical way. now RZA is deep in both ways...instrumental...i mean music and all...producing....and in the lyrical way. common..well hes just another emcee that doesnt catch my attention. peace. Hazy

[ikariss77]

damn dude, can't believe you aren't caught by common, cat is so deep, always positive, hard to find that kind of artist

TI is def wack though it's too bad he was on the cast, just another public misconception of what hip hop really is, 2 real hip hop artists and 1 fake but the 85% don't know and the 10% want them confused about it!

[lifeinterrupted]

Are you on crack? I love RZA but in terms of lyricism, BOTH T.I. and Common have him beat. T.I. is one of the best lyricists hip hop and the South has seen in quite in awhile. Common is an immensely skilled lyricist. You can't take that away from them.

[samhadfield]

rza is the best of the three, by far. T.I. is wack and Common is past his prime.

[lifeinterrupted]

PUHLEEZE!

[wutangclash]

T.I. = ok

RZA = legend

Common = the best

[deadfresh10]

mos def is better than common

[Bmanfutbol]

yeah right

[LiberalLibra]

Common is tha shizzz!!.. If his type of music is the new kind of commercial hip-hop, then we have a bright future ahead of us.

[zupak98]

yeah homo kanye focked up common

sense lol

[Toriadafloecist]

I used to like Common when he was on the humble, rapping about meaningful things!!! Then, he hooked up with Kanye and got way too commercial, thus, compromising his realness. Now, he just another prostitute for the biggest pimp ever, THE INDUSTRY!!! Whether it be the music industry or the film industry, he and many others are being pimped for that almighty DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!! It saddens me sooo!!!!!!!!!

[RAHJMASON]

Your trippin. The last album ( finding forever )

classic.You don't have hardley ANY MC's saying things kids can hear.He's doin it.

[Bmanfutbol]

finding forever and Be were amazing albums

[omerb7]

Nah dude, even though hookin up wit Kanye has inevitably made him a bit more commercial, he still keepin it real. Just listen to the intro to the album BE (the 1st time him an Kanye started workin together), an u know he still real.

[Toriadafloecist]

"It's about the American man tryin to make it in this world." GET A DAGONN JOB IF YOU TRYIN TO MAKE IT AND STOP TRYING TO GET FAST MONEY. Fast money leaves your hand real fast and will take your life real fast too!! I am sick of this crap!!! Glorifying gangsta behavior needs to stop!! Rza looking like a dried up zombie!

[sallyeatspie]

hehe...

[Toriadafloecist]

Don't let these celebrities fool you about the "top". They are VERY miserable!!!! Money will NEVER make you happy. They wish they could lead "simple" lives as we do. The celebrity life is nothing more than a trap and the best way to prostitute your soul and you talent! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[anthonyallred]

haha your a goof

[Toriadafloecist]

"You gotta step on people to get to the top". Wow!!!! That really was a ignorant comment. You reap what you sow, so someone will do the same to you. And if you gotta step on people to get to the "top", you ain't even suppose to be there!!!!!!!!!

[zupak98]

notice RZA never mentioned t.i in hiphop

lol

RZA spoke like inteligant man

common spoke with wisdom

T.I. sounded like complete idiots

[KareemAndDerekDub]

zupak98 before you criticize someone about their intellectual standing why don't you first master english grammar because yours is horrible.

[4aron7]

You notice how RZA took up most of the segment. I cant say Im feelin Common or TI musically... This doesnt really have to do with the music though...

[tony48075]

why can't these rappers make a rap album about jesus is he not important to the human race. didn't jesus have a major impact on the world.

[tee007mile]

Jesus dont sale, ask Salt from Salt n peppa. I totally agree with u but the fact remains that its a music buiness, and music must be bought for business to continue.

[tee007mile]

U must step on people to get to the top. Look at top business men and women from the past most of them has bought out their competition or has advertising that directly portrays the competition as wack or not as good as their particular product or service. Ask an American Eagle employee to dicuss the Abercrombie and Fitch brand, none of them would have something good to sat, its called competition

[tee007mile]

That ignorant nigger comment was both racist and ignorant on your part.

[dotchyx]

how do you know that Jesus is important to them? Just because Jesus maybe had an impact on you doesn't mean that its for everyone and should be rapped about!

[twsitedrich]

did he say that Frank is making the america community better...he is drug dealer, who sales drugs.....

[tony48075]

you don't have to step on anyone to get to the top. he is your typical ignorant nigger. i hate these rappers they need to die for real.

[XXSAUCEYXX]

Stay your fucking stupid ass off this site bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tee007mile]

He means Frank's idea of business, not his business, or business practices fool

[JustinG1988]

you know what i'm sayin'....:P

[Chompollet]

Rza big respect for you.

[Wufanatic36]

It was a nice picture. I think it was really nothing like The Black Scarface. It was more like The Black Godfather. Family was a much bigger issue in American Gangster than Scarface, and the protagonist didn't die in a hail of bullets and self destruction. Go RZA.

[jrokkaaa253]

i got this movie on bootleg, perfect condition bootleg, nothing less than a 10 dollar bill, holla at me~~~~

[lusinluys]

i think the movie diservs an oscar, specialy for denzel aka frank lucas!!!!!!!

[tony48075]

notice how they never talk about russel crow and his role in the movie.

[blackpress]

Rhymefest GOES OFF about American Gangster's buzz in the Black community.

[tony48075]

lol at ridley scott being the gretest directors of all time. what the fuck ever. james cameron george lucas steven speilberg are great directors.

[bcfczw]

ye he got shot in a drug raid by the old bill.or cops as u call dem in da states

[XD8D]

American Gangsters is a sik film

Film of Year easy should win evry fucking oscar catogry in opininan

[edmurtha]

TI a little bitch nigga like you.

[HENLUKE]

chitiwel is break through movies was . Dirty pretty things- that movie about ilegal miigrants in UK and the Girl made famous in the God movie by Tom Humks??????????

[DeejayMyerz]

KIMOOZ11 ... no he didn't he was in the court at the end!
