Mos Def The Ecstatic - Life In Marvelous Times - New Official Song HQ

[CallMeKoga]

errytime I go to listen to a good artist's song everyone's gotta say how great the dude is, or how much better he is than "today's music" or use that bullshit phrase "this is real music" like who gives a shit man...lil wayne sucks, young money sucks, MM sucks we all know that this is good shit why does everyone have to say how much better "their music" is, just shut up and listen man

[fuore]

Follow me!!

[kato1kalin]

revelations, hatred, love and war.

and more and more and more and more

and more of less than ever before

it's just too much more for your mind to absorb

SO TRUE!

[kato1kalin]

basic survival requires super heroics.

No space in the budget for a cape.

it's when you gotta fly by night to save the day

crash-landings routinely happen

some survive, others never rise from the ashes.

Wow, the imagery is amazing

[terdsandwich00]

[JBrewer4386]

Where can I get a instrumental of this......masterpiece of a beat?

[Taktmacher]

@JBrewer4386

The beat is the same as a track called "Champion" by Mr Flash (who is the producer of this Mos Def track) featuring a French rapper named TTC. The instrumental version is "Champions (TV track)".

[Taktmacher]

@JBrewer4386

Oh, I forgot to say this track can be downloaded from Amazon (at least it can from Amazon UK site). Hope this helps!

[sirtank90]

@JBrewer4386 I KNOOOOOW! I digs Mos Def for sure, but I I'm trying to have a all instrumentals playlist for when I'm driving, and I just gots to have this one man. Somebody be a good samaritan and put up the instrumental version!!

[zee1475]

[d15craxx]

BROOKLYN ALL DAY NIGGA

[TRU201]

@TrueDiligence its not even that he's underrated its just that he doesn't make the music that people like today. So they dont even play his stuff on the radio. But he is dumb nice tho

[dawoof]

cause this aint for everyone.

dumbasses that follow the mainstream are too damn cheap for this premium stuff

[blue7crip]

word up dawoof.!!

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

Jewish radio station owners.

[arkamfaith]

real hip-hop is rapping about what struggle is and metaphorswith depth and hidden resonance of the human soul through the art of hip-hop rymes and words!

[Kill2Smile]

There are no rules.

[RomeJKiR]

Just like I just read in the new xxl about lyricism. Wayne can have a point A and a point B in a line that don't have anything to do with each other but he connects them somehow with his metaphors and similes and shit. MOST people that hate on Wayne haven't listened to enough of the right songs or JUST DONT REALLY LISTEN AT ALL. Don't go checkin out the radio bangers like Lollipop..Check out shit like "Im Raw" and "Real Rap." When you got a million songs theres bound to be a few not up to par.

[iTaktik]

I'm not a wayne hater or anything but..ANY DECENT RAPPER can do that. Idk why the fuck people only associate that with Wayne.

..dick riders

[Blaze4103]

lil wayne does have some good songs, but he says he is the best rapper alive and then makes a song like lollipop... you cant do that you just give other guy like souja boy more permission to make a bunch of bullshit, be constant like MOS DEF he always has some message in his songs.... plus alot of people listen to lil wayne to fit in so why doesnt introduce them to real rap rather than making them singing lollipop

[ricky51188]

Wayne's only good songs are his b-sides. I Feel Like Dying is easily his best, but he is no Mos Def.

[0gst4tus]

Anyone know where to get the instrumental for this

[kraziikiid13]

drake wrote some of lil wayne songs

[BellyComedy]

old generation lives hard dies underground. Mos def old generation member 49. New generation can suck my dick

[TOSTAdaMOBSTA]

life in marvellouss timezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . sik tunee

[Valhalaband]

Wayne Sucks he has no flow. Mos Def is king belongs up with the greats. Lil Wayne is garbage

[jackk321]

like it or not, mos def killed this beat

[GrandCobra91]

The best is from him...

Its on Fight Night 4

[StatusLeak]

yup this was my intro in fight night haha...mos def kilt it

[The1Benji]

Aint this song in Fight Night Round 3???

[xXsamurai36methodsXx]

I worship Just Blaze for this Beat!!

goddamn it Mos def you did iLL!

[heflys20]

Just blaze didn't make this beat.

[MMOchamp9]

wow, were has mos def been all my life XD

[Marienthaler]

mos def reminds me of ray allen^^

[dadaproletariat]

and in my opinion, mos def isn't as explorative as far as messing around with language as some rappers are. he does his thing, and he sticks to it. so thats why i personally wouldn't place him as an amazing rapper, but thats my personal preferences as far as rapping styles go. dude is still crazy good and has great stuff to say, and i agree with what he has to say.

[dadaproletariat]

and IMO, if there is a best rapper alive, for me Z-Ro has to at least be in the top 3

[kingbluntm4n]

for what its worth i didnt neg you, i just replied. but my point was not that mos def is some incredibly smart musician and people dont understand him. rather his music is socially conscious for the most part, and the vast majority of people arent interested in music with any kind of substance anymore. they would rather listen to the bullshit that they are force fed on the radio. i honestly don't understand why, maybe weezy and the like are all above MY head

[dadaproletariat]

sorry, i didnt mean to accuse you or anything. my personal analysis of weezy is like...

IMO he's a really good rapper, he has a really out-there, weird, stream-of-consciousness rap that kinda reminds me of ghostface killah in ways.  he doesn't really rap about "real" stuff, but i don't personally mind that. a blog i read defined him as "post-lyrical": he's more into language and the weird ways you can mess with words than what message those words might have

[RomeJKiR]

I feel everything you sayin. Mos Def is nice in his own way. Wayne is nice in his own way. A lot of people don't realize how smart Wayne is and how really creative his wordplay is...say he just jumps from one thing to another but it's all connected in some way. Like he says "My reality is bigger than your dreams are" he makes metaphors out of things in his life that we never see. He was my number 1 for the longest but Em is now. With his new cd nobody can touch his flow or rhyme structure.

[ryeguy146]

Are you kidding me? That's not even a metaphor!

[RomeJKiR]

Yeah I know. I was just using that line as an example of showing that everyday things in his life are sometimes bigger than what we dream of. I was just saying thats basically what he raps about. How great his life is...and why wouldn't you when you live like that. He just has one of the most creative ways of explaining it with his metaphors. Lotta people don't get his lines cuz they are too sheltered and just don't know enough about what he talks about or are too simple.

[ryeguy146]

Yea... maybe that is above me. I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to a rapper talk about how much better his life is than theirs. But that isn't restricted to Mr. Wayne, most mainstream rap is the same materialistic thing. Flash some cash and slap some hoes and you've got a hit. And no, I don't want to live that way. It seems shallow and meaningless. Why listen to someone tell you how much better they are than you? I guess *that* is what I don't understand.

[RomeJKiR]

He's not always saying how much better than YOU he is. He's also speaking to his competition. Other rappers. Thing is when you get in the game the top people that run this shit want to give you a look and make you be a certain way but wayne has been that since 15. His shit is real. Just as real as other peoples struggles. What do you want him to do? Rap about a struggle that he's not in. Make himself depressed trying to come up with some bad shit to tell you. He makes you wanna live that life.

[ZeeAMV]

Wayne doesnt even write his own lyrics. Hes nothing but a drug monkey

[soltrain67]

dam u came out of nowhere with that shit you really gotta hate on a nigga 2 do that wasn't nobody talkin bout wayne LOL

[RomeJKiR]

Yeah Wayne doesn't write anything down you mean. He just comes up with it in his head and then spits it. He doesn't have any ghostwriters for him kid. He's done songs that other people have written like Prom Queen but he doesn't do that all the time. Your nothin but an ignorant little prick kid. How bout you know what your talkin about before you talk about it.

[ZeeAMV]

Dude go fuckin suck waynes dick and make ur voice like his you little bitch, hes a fuckin cheat, he has never written a song and has a memory that lasts 2minutes. Well I guess the drugs fucked up more then his voice

[RomeJKiR]

What the fuck are you talking about kid!? He was writing songs when he was 13 and recording them. You obviously don't know anything about Wayne kid. Your just a little hater that has looked up shit about him on youtube and are following other haters. I been listenin to him easily for 8 years. He's nothin new. And he's not a cheat. And what the fuck do you know about his memory? Your weak kid. Get over it. It's annoying arguing with someone who doesnt know what the fuck their talking about.

[Massapeel]

you are welcome to your opinion but i think wayne has no substance. maybe he can rhyme well but anyone can do that. you gotta say something more than i fuck bitches, slang drugs, and wear nice clothes to impress me. wayne doesn't need to write because anyone can remember the mindless dribble that he spews

[RomeJKiR]

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't think Wayne has the best substance but he is one of the hardest working, most creative, and prolific artists to ever do it. It's just I been listenin to Wayne since he was 17. I've heard him evolve. I just respect what he's done just like a lot of rap vets do (respect him). Wayne's no Mos Def in the terms of substance but his songs make you feel good and can get you hyped, but neither one is Eminem. I gotta say Em's the best ever.

[jamesmillaraftermath]

es not creative

[Kill2Smile]

Jesus Christ man. Just listen to 'Kick In The Door' by Notorious B.I.G then listen to ANY little Wayne Song as see the difference between rap and crap.

[jmscnwy]

Em just stole Masta Ace's rap style go check him out and for all you people who don't know who Masta Ace is and say you know Hip Hop.... Shame.

[RomeJKiR]

Everybody is influenced by somebody. Masta Ace is good but Em is better. Em is the best. He can make a deep song that makes sense all the way through and it will be about real shit. Then he could rap some funny shit killin celebrities and still shit on 90 percent of the rappers in the game today. NOBODY CAN TOUCH EMS RHYME STRUCTURE. Check out "Taking My Ball"-Eminem...He's a real artist....He could rap about Walmart..dumb shit, but the way he would rap it would be at the highest level.

[dawoof]

Fuck yes

[arkamfaith]

agreed!

[RomeJKiR]

He makes shit that gets you pumped up. Stuff that makes you wanna rap and do all that shit. I listen to a lot of different rappers though. I like all kinds of music. I just listen to Wayne in certain situations. He's got the ability to do many different types of songs if he wants. He's dynamic and artistic.

[youngice6004]

em's new cd isn't even close to his older ones. The only album the relapse is better than is Encore.

[dadaproletariat]

btw, i love how people neg me just for thinking that mos def isn't the best rapper of all time. didn't even say i disliked dude. people on youtube are sad.

[afrosoda]

first heard dis on fight night round 4... nice ass song

[xSensualSeductionx]

Brilliant song...beat is dope,, I love Mos Def :]

[swineburn]

the song is so so. why does everyone want to knock someone out. lets be peaceful. there is plenty of violence to go around. i think i will save my money on this one. i don't get the mos def thing too much. and i always give him a chance when he puts out new music. i just don't think he is a very good mc...

[aobkilzit]

listen to any blackstar song and ull change ur mind

[zas2727]

proly theee dumbest thing i have ever heard anyone say

[GoodLaxatives]

It upsets me that a song as dope as this was in my recommended list, next to that bullshit song "You're a jerk" by New Boyz ... or whoever the fuck it was...

Mos Def's new album is so dope, pick it up.

[ReubenMetallica]

gonna go play fight night right now lol

[faseonehiphop]

great song output in the fight night 4

[icegkingdom]

Real Hip Hop That Makes Me Wanna Knock The Next person I See The Fuck OUTTTT!!!!

[ducksick2]

REAL Hip-Hop non this SHit-Stop of today.

[youtubbin16]

yo that shit is classic bro big ups @ Shit-Stop cuz that's how i feel haha!!

[HipHopGuardian1991]

great song. hot beat. mos def is one of the most lyrical emcees in the game

[cactusjackisback]

arguably the greatest rapper alive. He needs to stick to this and stay out of movies. He should just be happy dominating the rap game.

[ZeeAMV]

the best along with lupe of course

[dadaproletariat]

mos def is good, but i wouldn't call him the best rapper alive whatsoever

i dont think hes really dominating the rap game either

[aobkilzit]

i dont think there is a best rapper alive....

[FlashCLownP]

yea but honestly mos def is better than 90% of some of the cats out there...in my opinion anyways

[chenzo1382]

mos def is def. the best. hes the only one speaking anything that makes any sense. Anyone can take a hot beat and ryme words together that sound cool, but wut the hell are they really sayin. thats not hip hop its POP HOP.

[kingbluntm4n]

mos def is too far above too many people's heads to dominate the game. music with substance and style doesn't go very far these days =(

maybe if he dumbed it down and rapped about lollipops and other teenybopper bs he would get a bit more recognition. but for now, he has an extremely loyal fanbase who know he is one of the illest rappers in the game right now, and has been for a long time

[dadaproletariat]

see i start to get worried when people say rappers are above peoples heads...its like jay-z said, "just cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he bright, it just mean that you don't understand all the bullshit that he writes".

now im DEFINITELY NOT saying that mos def writes bullshit (altho i know people are gonna say that i am and neg me), but its still a good point to remember IMO.

[DemonLordDude]

i like "Ready for the fight" more

[MrDetroitsfinest]

dis song goes hard ready for the fight ok but not better so listen to the lyrics na mean! fnr4

[ZeeAMV]

sickness at its best

[shervbrain]
