Shad kills every verse he spits. However, I can't get enough of Kamau's verse- so sick!

[moonunitenar]

@161lip Same. Those two make a killer team

[hollyweed365]

Dope Song,Shad Killin it Right Now *V sing Shad*

[SuperYoungprodigy24]

this guy needs to be heard, great beat, motivating lines, only canadian rapper that has some competition. i support him! lets do this shad!

[WoodsballMachine]

@berezyy Mainstream just means our in the popular boat and a lot people know you. You can be mainstream and make music for the love regardless of if your getting the money.

[KeepItFresh02]

dope. shad is fresh

[trevdog110]

I never used to buy music from itunes, until I listened to Shad. This man deserves every "like" and every dollar 100X more than any mainstream rappers. I've never heard such an intelligent and witty MC. I just hope one day he receives the recognition he deserves.

[dmestry1]

" I can't DERAIL, I TRAIN hard then relax on TRACKS, keep the brain sharp hittin like an axe on wax" .. Pure Genius and its only the first couple lines ..

[Hansolozgorilla]

it sucks when an underground musician gets mainstream, espessially nowadays. sales might go up for the artist but it seems like the music is changed. maybe its the high end producers that try to make it more professional but im down with the original hip hop. this guy should definitely keep goin like this. shits golden

[HeyImStavi]

@Hansolozgorilla So, you basically want Shad to work his ass off, but not make the money he deserves? That's really being a good fan if you ask me. I hope Shad makes millions, and I hope he becomes mainstream. If you think he is the type of person to sell out his beliefs, then you aren't much of a fan.

[Hansolozgorilla]

@HeyImStavi not at all thats fucking dank if he makes millions. i just hope he doesnt change for the worst in the process. but i have faith that hell keep a good style

[phoshilaaron]

I rarely ever listen to rap, because of the mainstream media. Thankfully Shad can break that. They need more rap like this.

[moonunitenar]

@phoshilaaron I know, eh? Shad is pretty much the one who made me realize that rap can be AMAZING when it's done right.

[misaje]

Shad and Kamau. That is what is up. Kamau is a surprise to hear from too.

[SVRReelMaker]

Don't worry Shad I deleted all my downloaded song from you and bought your album. Thanks for inspiring me with your masterpiece.

[T67GS300]

I love playing this in my car. 

[nba2k11ism]

i get shivers on this music. LOVE IT

[epiphany3551]

*lucky they all love me.

[epiphany3551]

My folks love me I feel luxky

[scoop2230]

"I'm a cynic but I try to keep my heart warm." this line just sticks out so much. I can relate 100%

[MrKrillz0r]

siQ

[iverson3324]

seriously....how good is this song? HOLY SHIT!

[TheBurgerShack]

For a rapper that doesn't smoke weed, he has some really good stuff to listen to high. Its incredible.

[iverson3324]

@TheBurgerShack

literally just rollin' a joint. haha happy smoking bro

[ClashOfHead]

@TheBurgerShack Why would it matter that he smokes weed? Does smoking weed enhance a raper's rhyme or make him sound any better while high?

[TheBurgerShack]

@ClashOfHead Not necessarily, but usually rappers that smoke would target an audience that smokes too? Shad can capture both worlds in his music.

I guess what I'm trying to say is shad's music fucking blows my mind whether I'm high or not. Not a lot of rappers can pull that off

[seinsfrage]

Mad Skills - Period. Don't sleep.

360 4ever, baby.

[swhite6]

rap recording of the year for my boy shad.

winning it over drake to, stick it to mainstream!

[happybassist]

I don't listen to much rap, I listen to a little bit but this guy, he is amazing.

[TNAguy2000]

REAL

[Gonbebe]

"I aint gotta say real talk, cause all my talk is." <- That is the realest talk you can get.

[theDolphino1123]

More artists need to start pointing fingers at the mirror.

[OldSchoolHipHopLover]

"And if i'm gonna point fingers, better point 'em at the mirror/Reflections I reflect on, lessons of my 26th year/Erectin' this next song here."

LOVE the double kick @ 1:41

[TheAfterbanger]

clearly they hadn't heard of him when they did the Grammy awards....

[yaaaaowa]

anyone know who spits the last verse on this??

[xoxjamiebaybee]

@yaaaaowa Ian kamau

[catramax]

buying this album....SUPPORT SHAD!!!!

[LeDuckDuckGoose]

I CANT DERAIL, I TRAIN HARD AND RELAX ON TRACKS....Ew! EWWW! EWWWW!!!!

Sooo sick and nasty i love shad!!!! SHAD K REPRESENT CANADA PLZ FUCK DRAKE!!!

[thatboysledge]

I'm sorry Kanye, BUT SHAD HAD THE BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

[Faguar1]

@thatboysledge imma let you finish

[JesseMKV3]

@thatboysledge lol

i'm still debating it, buts its definitely between the two, of course shads is more lyrically potent, but kanye's is just so well put together and every song is like a fucking anthem(weakest track being run away)

but they both are definitely the best contributions not only to hip hop this year, but probably this decade

[SVRReelMaker]

@thatboysledge AHA! EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! All love to both KWest & Shad tho... : )

[JesseMKV3]

@thatboysledge meh, its my second favorite, kanye's was definitely better with a lot more replay value, MBDTF is one of the best albums of all time

[NuEtik]

I wanna scream it out loud: "This is just too f*ckin dope!!!!"

[oygk]

heard this on cbc this morning haha

[RushDrum99]

I could play this on repeat all day... so chill its unreal...

[fredshoehead]

why is everyone on this guys dick so hard? he has skills, but hardly a "god". this album is not even close to "Best Album of 2010". I mean, Atmosphere's EP that just dropped is better than this, and they're supposedly old and getting tired. I haven't listened to much of his material, but Shad is hardly a "genius". Listen to El-P, Blueprint, Eyedea (R.I.P.), Slug of Atmosphere (sometimes), Aesop Rock etc etc. I could list more, but compare lyrical work AND production and Shad can't hang.

[pridehockey7]

@fredshoehead i agree with you. dont get me wrong, i like shad and his beats are sick but not many people can beat slug. he tells real stories with or without rhyme and turns them into masterpieces

[shoyei]

@fredshoehead Yeah, but what about this guy's integrity? His topics are so far above these other guys' (except Aesop).

[fredshoehead]

@shoyei integrity? all the people i mentioned have their integrity in tact, at least i think they do. i don't understand. Could you list some of the topics he writes/rhymes about? just a small list of topics Slug, El-P, Blueprint, Eyedea, Aesop Rock and others write/have written about: Social Degeneration Drugs Politics The New World Order Fat Bitches Personal Demons Ghetto Blasters Police Brutality Not to mention they can all battle rap like monsters and paint pictures with words.

[thm345]

@fredshoehead "Fat Bitches"? Yeah bud, that's the topic you want to bring up when you're trying to win an argument about integrity.

[fredshoehead]

@thm345 yeah apparently my comment about topic choice went right over your head. when i said "fat bitches", i was specifically referring to the song "Big Girls Need Love Too" by Blueprint off his album 1988. Now, maybe you could listen to the song and agree that the topic selection is both funny and entertaining, Blueprints delivery is on point and the beat and the samples used are dope. does that clear anything up for you buddy?

[lokip0000]

@fredshoehead haha just chill, everyones musical taste is different. I mean some people thinks that mainstream crap sounds good. Listen to just what makes you happy.

[JesseMKV3]

@fredshoehead i lol at you sir

please don't try and compare any rhymesayers artists to shad, none of them can go toe to toe with him, i love me some atmosphere, aesop, and teh general rhymesayers cast from time to time, but they are overly hyped by backpackers, and are usually boring as fuck, P.O.S.'s "Never Better" is probably rhymesayers best album EVER and it can't compete with shad's least favorable album, wich is VERY good, shad has no flops, just saying

[fredshoehead]

@JesseMKV3 anyone that says what you just said about rhymesayers is just looking for something to complain about. you completely disregarded the other artists that i included in that list and focused solely on the rhymesayers crew. that shows me you're one of those kids that hates for no real reason. lots of people hate on Atmosphere, but they put out great music, always have. they have some misses, but who doesn't? and what the fuck is a backpacker, really? i mean, really.

[JesseMKV3]

@fredshoehead well the first batch of artists you mentioned are rhymesayers artists, idk who the rest are, but its not that im looking for something to complain about, i am a fan as well, but im being real, neither of those rhymesayers artists u mentioned have a single non skipper album, and if the rest of the artist whom i never heard about that you mentioned are any thing like them, then i really can't expect much, and shad has no misses, he has 3 albums, all are classic solid albums

[gogoGreen420]

"i cant de-rail, i train hard." <3

[KardiFan2000]

@gogoGreen420 ...then relax on tracks, lol (Shad's too dope!!)

[gogoGreen420]

who raps the last verse?

[Statenskaten]

"best album of 2010"

Understatement people.

This man IS genius in the arts.

Much love to Shadrach kabango.

[Juiceish1]

lucky 7's

[jayme197]

shad = god

[rassclaat23]

btw im feelin the luchini sample lol imma go ahead and watch that video now hahaha

[KillahB89]

@rassclaat23 luchini sample?

awwwww shit! never realized it was here

[rassclaat23]

"This guy is better than that mainstream (insert lil wayne, or soulja boy) shit."

Can we please stop saying that shit. It's getting so tired. Every Jay electronica video, every j. cole video. Lol hop off the supposed undergrounds dick. and like what u like, and dislike what you don't. Rap fans turning into hipsters what the fuck is this. Just be real.

[TheHeavyHit]

@rassclaat23 lol rlly tho. And all this justin bieber hate comments on every vid.

[eevaannn]

no dislikes ftw

[EricAlmeida17]

i swear to God i heard slick rick in the endding minute

[Pisces74]

@EricAlmeida17 :-) i hear what you mean... the guy at the end is Poet, Ian Kamau... check him out. Brilliant.

[dklw888]

@footballfullback True dat, and its good he does that

[dklw888]

On every track he comes in, KILLS it, and still remains to be a normal down to earth guy....that just goes to show that he's a true rapper, not one of these rappers that boast bout money, women, and drugs

[MrAsianwonder]

this guy needs to be heard this guy is better tyhan that mainstream lil wayne shit

[goldner34]

How can you describe this type of music?

[ChristopherLuck]

@goldner34 If you want to analyze it - it would be Indie Hip Hop -Like Atmosphere, or P.O.S. - Though that we have to label this kind of music as anything other than REAL SHIT, is sad.

[jray2107]

@goldner34 real hip-hop

[tcuzz21]

whos TLO?

[papageorge]

favourite song off the album

[ChristopherLuck]

I love Shad, but I can't believe he's religious, and believes in Intelligent Design.. Makes him seem like a Moron, with flow.

[bobby2da3rd]

@ChristopherLuck The all-knowing ChristopherLuck! Please share your perspective with us unlearned peons!!

[ChristopherLuck]

@bobby2da3rd It's starts with denying evolution, which is absurb, and is border-line insanity. I really do respect Shad, and he has some roots that are fundamentaly traditional but in all reality.. God is a Fairy Tale.

[rapidkid11]

@ChristopherLuck who says God cant create evolution..he created the world

and if God didnt create the world...who did? u think it just appeared out of nowhere?

dude just cos u believe in God doesnt make u a moron - u dont hav to believe in it im not gona force u - but attackin sum1 over dere beliefs aint right

[Gtor3636]

@ChristopherLuck I know what you are saying man, but who knows how devout he is. His lyrical prowess and ability to create triple entendres is beyond remarkable. "I can't derail I train hard then relax on tracks."

Plus you can tell by listening to his lyrics that he has a good heart and is pushing for what is just. Religious or not Shad is one of the most prolific artists of all time.

[ChristopherLuck]

@Gtor3636 Absolutely man, very well put, and this is exactly why I will continue to be a great admirer of his.

[clayzekilla]

Everyone buy this album. Totally worth the money. Also buy Classified album to. They are the only thing that finds time inside my stereo

[DAZED404]

This man is too sick!

[thingsTheater]

Kamau and Shad on the same track. This is a must-have. BUY it!

[or3ocookies]

Goosebumps.
