Common feat Sadat X "1999" music video - Rawkus Records

[TerrorTown7575]

I'm LIKE CHEIF UP IN THIS DEMONSTRAION ! Gotta be from Chicago to overstand that.

[Subs91]

whats up with the illuminati imagery? There must be a good explanation lol

[universalblak72]

HERMAN CAIN SHOULD USE THIS FOR HIS CAMPAIGN THEME...1 9 9 9...ANYWAYS THE JOINT IS A CLASSIC

[FibrousAcquiescence]

Unspoken Heard brought me here.

[tech4156]

real hip hop died with rawkus records. the major labels wanted to end them so they joined forces and ended rawkus.

[TimrodRa]

the vid is on some revolutionary type shit but the lyrics not the shouldve went harder wit some dead prez up in there dont mimic panthers and not have some panther rhetoric still like the cut fa sho it jus dont match the vid

[MrLouisereaves1]

Official cats huggin da beat, give me chills when i hear this Banga!!...enough said...

[odemata87]

won't front this common is better than the one we have now. he's border lining on sellout...remember that word yeah sell out, its still ineffect

[LongBeach2SanDiego]

"ain't no payola in freestyle/in battles i'm warrin' like the g child"

[kussiekussie]

dude.. look at 1:33 above his head the Illuminati sign bro.. fo real! old skool the best shit.. the music they make right now aint shit!

[Mr13thletter]

@SpliffJahHustla, remember way back when Tip said "Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop"? Damn.

[SpliffJahHustla]

iMiss this Common...iMiss Rawkus & still remember how iFelt the day iHeard they were shuttin' doors...Like how was it possible for a record company this...well, RAW goin' outta business...That was the final nail in the coffin for those that say Hip-Hop died...iLike to see it as the day Hip-Hop went back underground to the places it should have never left...While Rap stayed on the stage with his new friend Pop.

[XinoWuantanKlan]

Soundbombing NICE!



[DutchKalhoun]

The guy took a spill in the beginning of this video was late great skateboarder Harold Hunter. You might remember him from the movie: Kids.

Dope video. Sadat X & Common: 2 great MC's.

[PacificDark]

Still getting mine...

[okonokid]

this song is timeless... don't matter what year it is...

[MrKing8050]

hi tek is so underrated

[Fellowes1985]

I finally found this Shit! Yo its been Forever! Thankyou too the person that put this joint up and I'm look for it on Pandora.

[nickigelert]

99 and 2000 are probably the 2 greatest years of underground hip hop! Rawkus owned that shit!!

[thagod5]

some get range rover some religions change over angle on my main shoulder telling me remain sober

[kgerm1984]

yes i love this song soundbombing lions are in the building all day

[Boogers4dinner]

Everyone had to get theirs in the 1-9-9-9 because they knew the years ahead were going to be fucked up...unemployment, terrorism, economy, etc.

[sakecity7]

My ancestors when Im writin I see em and talk wit em

Hopin in the promised land I can walk wit em

[chakraawakening]

[007superlos]

[illone1981]

One of my favaz

Check 4, Beats by Wallace Green

[Gocavs1990]

I love this tune and the video has such a great hiphop vibe to it. You don't see much of that shit nowadays no more. Certainly not on tv. I love hiphop.

[gotsteeze92]

Harold Hunter R.I.P.!!!!

[1PhatL]

I remember that 1-9-9-9, Rollin down the street wit' ya box bangin' longtime ago . . .

[ILLadelphiaMusic]

[Niceonebeats]

[RealHipHopTunes]

rawkus records was that one label were they granted artistic freedom, they should of been bigger than these other A&R niggas

[quest127]

HAROLD HUNTER Rip

[gearjammr09]

daaaaammmm!this was so ill

[joejoe98989898989]

Like in the ghetto photo wit one nigga in the chair Holdin liquor in despair, gang signs in the air I shine in spaces where time is just a glare Hold the mic like a memory Niggas say I'm nice wit metaphors but these are similes

easily the dopest lines to have ever been said

[jippzmcghee]

I wish more people from my generation would have paid attention to this shit. I remember getting up early on saturdays just to watch BET top 10 countdown, back when BET was still worth watching..

I remember kids making fun of me because i was on some common, blackstar, gangstarr, nas, the roots, all the fly shit..but everyone i went to school with were listening to C-murder and silkk the fucking shocker

[spinDAknight01]

yo, i totally went threw the same thing as a kid. it was like they favored those rappers for the beat or the hook. not any reall content

[pikuns1234567890]

great song.

[bazdkikam]

DOPE SHIT

[TheWavetwister]

[lefaberyayo]

@guillermoperezful,

'' Prt Sc '' or '' Print Screen ''

It's next to your F12 most of the time.

[THAANSWER562]

COMMON is the sh***t and SADAT X is the man. Love his voice

[moarfan5678]

most of the real hip-hop had died by this time but rawkus were one of the last true pioneers of this fine art form, they reminded me of wu-tang when they came out - a large outfit but every person sounding as dope as the other......bring back originality in hip-hop, fuck all modern 'rappers' all theyre good for is wrapping presents!!

[Tribefankg]

YEs TRUTH brother I agree Rawkus gave us blackstar, pharore and talib and what happend please Bring it BAck give us true Hiphop.

K

[Boogers4dinner]

@moarfan5678 Yeah, after this hip hop started changing, to be honest people started listening to things like Jay-Z with that..."Jigga what, Jigga who..." featured by Amil, and that's when underground started really having a struggle with the mainstream. The raw was really disappearing. I remember tracks like Heltah's Skeltah's "Operation Lockdown" , and it was so real to me, but then I'd hear Jay-Z and that commercialized shit. A and R s are playing games with the underground, and I hate it.

[ceski]

still remember the time...real mcs, real djs, real music, real hiphop

[enose]

still remmeber this like yesterday on teh and1 mixtape vol 1

[dakotaniggy]

[HiphopHeads2]

[millfordsange]

This brought a tear to my eye, Common really has lost his sense.

[louislouis19801980]

[qwestknowledgeeno]

[jordeneyes]

[calclarke159]

-StoicTwo!

[ConiferTreez]

Sadat murked the SHIT out of common

[Fazt70]

Hey dumbass its not a battle

[niggz98]

I hold my own, i aint racist i just live my life. surrounded yourselves with hatred only leads to more negativity, and dawg im feelin chill rite now so i dont hate no 1

[sharp1ne]

Check out my freestyles off da top of da dome... Nice wit it Sharp1ne

[Fazt70]

[Travino]

could be worst, we could all be peice of bird shit aka craker honkey pecker wood trailor park trash, 35 year olds living in our mothers basements having sex with our relatives while getting high on meth, coke, extacy, salvia, perks, oxycotin etc.... white people are the scum of the earth!

[cieszak4]

sadat x - racist !!

[DUGMAC1973]

eat a dick whitey.....

There you go was that racist enough for ya cracka?

[thomaskenneally]

rawkus!

[PYTendeRHOni]

does this track not just breathe a peace into your day or what?

[thomaskenneally]

couldn't have said it better

[tonymtona]

man im in med school school now and this just helps me get through it i swear to god this is something else...pharoe monch talib mos def gangstarr and rappers and music like that is so so needed right now..word

[Daimoto]

Jesus, I didn't know Hip-Hop could get this real! It's sort of hard to believe that just in 1999 I was only six years old. Time flies by so fast...

[AbbottSupreme]

Word!!..

[kabfik]

the eye seeing stuff on 31 sec is definitely the New World Order/ Illuminati, yes it exists it is on the dollar bill, everyone should know about it, heck even Britney Spears and Paris Hilton know about it, they work for them.

[Dudemaine]

to me, this song is one of the many that personifies hip-hop at it's prime.

hip hop today is SH*T and i couldn't be any less bothered with what you think either.

there's always an exception to the rule but for the most part today's hip-hop is all commercialized garbage and that's the bottom line.

and it really breaks my heart: it's like watching your first true love turn tricks on the corner

disagree? get a clue and wake up already.

[999michael]

rip harold

[camflint72]

Whats up with the all seeing eye at 0:31???

[soleelement]

it's like Allah see's everything yet this world has eyes as well u know satellite cameras everywhere on corners in schools etc. Sadat is a 5%er not sure about Common these days but that pyramid and all see-ing is a symbol for the New World Order and many so called secret societies. peace

[ccbc5]

sickkk asss trackkk!

[Hightimez062002]

sadat reminds me of devin the dude.

[mrouteboss]

hip hop is back type in antonio and peep out my videos tell me what yall think.more videos comin soon

[CGJUGO80]

His voice reminds me exactly of Herb McGruff

[steelnub]

lawl u r teh funnay

[civili666]

This is shitty bullshit comercial hip hop. Listen ro REAL muthafuckas like 50 cent and soulja boy, THATS real hip hop. Not this common bullshit.

Yall dont know shit about rap. Dumb fuckers , every singel one of you.

[leeperryismerry]

haha good joke! made me smile

[hiphopskater]

Yo shut the fucc up bithc!!!!!

[galethio]

your joking right

i hope so

or u just got a fucked up brain

naive, ridiculous, idiot you must be

[MFSilverOxide]

You're right actually. Most people who don't know hip-hop don't want to know that Common and Kweli respect 50 Cent as a peer (Kweli is friendly with Fiddy), or the Roots having Tony Yayo as a drinking/weed buddy. If you don't understand the essential absurd unity and commraderie of these artists beneath the media hype, you don't know hip-hop.

[Ironman26]

CLASSIC

[mize2]

R.I.P MR.HUNTER....Do u see that North FACE...Classic NYC fashion..Classic video and song !

[StatikMix]

why dus sadat remind me of a young dave chapelle haha....great track

[lavendabalderas]

R.I.P. Harold Hunter the man walking with talib in the beginning.

[Switchfifty]

What happened?

[ChemistOn3]

some get range rovers some religions change over angel on my main shoulder tellin' me remain sober...

[bays1c]

which sample is this from?

[QuietstormRB]

everytime I hear this track the first thing that comes to mind is the AND1 Mixtape Vol. 1 watching classic footage of skip to my lou Queens baby

[ybe21]

i know how you feelin...i felt the same way

[Switchfifty]

haha, yea, but the song's message by itself is great

[ceesevenhundred]

some get range rovers, some religions change-over, angel on my shoulder tellin' me to remain sober. that's word. that's a verse that burn in Shawn Carter's head and Will and Jada Smith's heads too.

[shvisionaries]

Daamn!!! This is a classic right here 4 sure! Soundbombing 2!!

[momo514]

WHATTTSSS, yo I forgot about this hot track!!! thats stilll THA BOMB!!! thx for this great clip, man oh man feelin it so much :))

[rrbeats2004]

illiminati pre 911 predictions this is a classic

[edube104]

What you know about '99...hip hop at its best!!!

[DuctTapeUtopia]

Sadat moves just like Dave Chappelle

[blh53]

hahaha true

[realhiphop4eva]

its mad weird seein common's funny, 'can i borrow a dollar'-style than watchin his deep, concious style. common is one of the most versitile artist ever

[ERNALENT]

I am still going to get mine beyond 1999.

[humancondition9]

omg.. tekzilla!!!!

[crunkeith]

great flashback. Use to love this song

[yuda1984]

yo peace fam, this is true hip hop it don't get more true then this GUTE

[dougi]

sadat x is cool,

[fxone1981]

This is one of the BEST Songs ever!

Remember Soundbombing II That was REAL HIP HOP not what we are listening to today!

Peace from Germany.....

[Mystikpisshead]

At the time of soundbombing 2 I personally thought it was mostly mainstream corperate type shit, But you're right anything being played on the radio/MTV nowadays aint got shit on this track.

[fxone1981]

There was no Bling Bling no cars nothing and no designer clothes...Nas was right, HIP HOP is Dead...

[leeperryismerry]

Nas was wrong Hip Hop is still alive just a shame that most is comercial rap bullshit like lil wayne but there are still real artists out there in the underground, and of course Common

[tbonze00]

yeah i agree, no matter how much rap commercializes its self, there will still be real artists and underground hip hop will still be alive

[leeperryismerry]

yes it will!

[camflint72]

Hip hop is not dead. It lives through us. Don't be discouraged. Hip hop is for intelligent people and most rap fans are dumb which is why hip hop is over their head

[bielaspl]

true true. chack out my video. is about polish reality so maybe will be hard to understanding for U :) but is real and straight from my crazy soul :) this is my way to keep hip hop alive :)

peace4all oneLove

[faustpsycho]

hip hop wil never die I agree so many styles all different countries just amazing how music grows.

[Hightimez062002]

Id say if sadat x looked like ne famous person it b devin the dude. but then again really not really.

[DjHansol]

great classic..:) peace

[HaiTienGOD]

Hi-Tek had 1 hard ass beat here Hi-Tek is one of the best producers ever in history

[acidsoulking]

REAL HIPHOP!!!!

[Mystikpisshead]

They used to play this track on MTV all the time back in the day, Very unusual for such a real hip hop classic

[budsintoronto]

My Poetry's a penetentiary, this track is visitation....

[Blackbarbarian]

This is reeeeaaal Hip Hop. Definitely one of the all time best. This one always reminds me of why I love it so much.

[zwane78]

i think sadat x and dave chapelle look alike does anyone agree with me?

[premolatino]

hell fucking no

[djmagiz]

this is what need to be played on the radio today !!!

[20FinalKonekt12]

ahhh shit.

havent heard this in mad long!!!

[gabargrill]

talib's words in the beginning of this tune became my philosophy of life: "slow down [...] yoo just gotta appreciate it"

so damn true..

[brownrice1]

If only Harold took his advice....

R.I.P.

[dastiks]

+1, RIP Harold

[stgJochen]

damn yo... this beat is ill son.

[mccobb3221]

This is true HIP-HOP where did it GO!

[blackmail06]

[jmbarron1]

the real shit! never gonna die!

[OneLoveHipHop]

[diddisdiddat]

Common has one of his best verses of his career on here and Hi-Tek blessed it with a amazing beat on this. The video is dope too.

[davidrj10]

[40CalFan]
