  • @pauliscoolin I wouldn't say ALL *shows picture of Lupe Fiasco.

  • Talib brought me here

  • @SirDetectiveE damn right

  • Fate brought me here.

  • I got this from no one, been a Talib Kweli fan since him and Mos Def formed Black Star. Its sad that people have to be brought by other means in order to listen to good music, back in the days, i remember that good music was brought to us. Those days are over now, I guess its best to be brought than to not be brought at all.

  • @SegaGuy7 thank you! why is the top comment pandora brought me here! been a good music fan for almost two decades!

  • @SegaGuy7 Damn, I wish I were you.

  • Lauryn Hill brought me here.

  • hell yea

  • Talib.. man, what else is there to say? Amazing

  • Ben Kweller brought me here.

  • nothing brought me here but the luv of point of view. no wonder Lauren never show and this shows that BET or watever is a menace to true art. Talib seems to be a good friend and if she doesn't notice than somethings up with her. Talib one of the truest and Lupe seeming to be like a fake ass Muslim forgetting where he come from trying make cheap money. they barely knew he was alive till "the show goes on". i knew him since i was 8yrs now i'm 15. B.O.B gone take his spot and beyond

  • @itskeythedfordnigga talking bout fake Lupe and B.O.B. is taking his spot? B.O.B. is fake as...

  • @joostps oh ok, but they will never be the original blu3 print.. so TALIB 4EVR

  • @TheGct22 youtube views dont matter. go buy his album..

  • great track

  • cuder radio brought me here. dope as song

  • feeling this on so many different levels real talk, all these chics today talk about theirselves, instead of what's going on in the world

  • Lauryn HIll brought me here. Fuck pandora.

  • Instead of "hotter power", the correct lyrics are "Hot or Power" referring to radio stations Power 106 in LA and Hot 97 in NYC.

  • This song is my shit. God all day ever day

  • goddamn i remember when i found this song. first song i ever heard by kweli. opened my eyes (and ears) to real hip hop.

  • This song say " Yogures " that is Yogurts in spanish

  • pandora brought me here...thank god

  • @saudalaissa No Bullshit? Pandora Brought Me Here Too :D

  • @saudalaissa same her

  • No doubt a good song straight from his heart, but to be fair he sampled Ben Kwellers song WITHOUT permission... The pitch doesnt change that fact.

  • how can any1 in their right minds dislike this. truly emphatic

  • i heard this on pandora lupefiasco radio

  • wiz khalifa radio

  • ..I'm white too.

  • This song made me cry...

  • Kobra shit stop being a hater u fagget

  • sexy song

  • Dan collins and a piano rocks!

  • diggin' it.<3

  • Lauryn Hill could have been a megastar but she chose to live a more peaceful life

  • MUSIC IS MUSIC... NO MATTER YOUR GENRE OR YOUR FLOW... YOU GOT TO LOVE YOUR OWN BEAT, AND ROCK YA OWN FLOW

  • Man i realy liked his shit daawgs ! Man its so fly ! Y`all shoud heear it , spread this shit out to everyone :D

  • Awesome song :)

  • He didn't make the song.. how would he know

    Deerpppp

  • Ben Kweller wrote this hook... where's the credit!?  Nice flowing, but give Benny his due respect.

  • @dancollinsandapiano if its not in the title of the actual song on itunes or whatever, its not like hes gonna put that in the title of this video.

  • @PeachesOhoulihan I'm aware, I just don't understand why Kweli and his label wouldn't credit Kweller...

  • @dancollinsandapiano maybe they did credit him at some point, but the uploader of this video isnt kweli or a member of his label so...

  • @PeachesOhoulihan In my opinion, songs like these with "recycled hooks" should be required to list whoever they took the hook from in the title of the song. For example, "Ms. Hill by Talib Kweli feat. Ben Kweller," just like rappers are "featured" on other pop artist's tunes.

  • @dancollinsandapiano eh, it depends on the amount of recycling. this is original enough for me to not require that, but, for example, "Opposite of Kids" by Chiddy Bang should definitely have that

  • @KobraCola The song was based around his hook... how shouldn't Kweller's name at LEAST be mentioned in the title? The hook that he wrote makes up about 80 total seconds of this song, over 1/3 of the tune. People need to know who wrote the song they're singing...

  • @dancollinsandapiano Well that's a matter of opinion, I think Kweli expertly mixes in the hook and changed it enough that I had no idea it was Ben Kwellers song, it sounds nothing like him. Plus it's about notability of the original song too, when Kanye samples some really obscure 80's rock band, he doesn't need to be like "oh hey guys, I'm sampling King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man by the way"

  • @KobraCola So just because the song wasn't popular when originally release they shouldn't have to give them credit?

  • @dancollinsandapiano It's not white and black like that but I do think obscurity should be a factor. Sampling a random afrobeat artist from the 70s is different from sampling the new MGMT people that have already been bought 5 million times. 1 is obviously just trying to play off the popularity of another song. If u want 2 recognize every song that resulted in another piece of music, youd have 2 reference every piece even remotely close 2 the piece of music that someone mightve heard in the past

  • @KobraCola I'm just saying, when it's blatant (as it is in this case), it's not hard to credit the original composer. "Talib Kweli feat. Kweller -Ms.Hill with lyrics" is how this should read, at least on the record co's version. It shouldn't be that much of a problem- they know whose song it is...

  • @dancollinsandapiano Well another thing to consider is that usually a "(feat.)" credit implies that the other artist actually was there when the track was made and contributed to it in some way in the studio. Just because you sampled some other artist doesnt mean you "feature" them, it means you flipped their song and changed it for rapping purposes.

  • love this song cant believe its my first time hearing and knowing about it top five songs in my book

  • People who call Lauryn Hill a Racist and she made that so called Statement: Where is the proof? Do you listen to what anyone says? She was ALLEGEDLY said a statement by a Caller on a Howard Stern Show. The Media dragged it out to make an issue about it. If I was able to call on the David Letterman and say Eminem hates all Asian people, would it be true? I mean the Media could drag it out make it appear true, but it doesn't mean its true in anyway

  • Get Skillz ! :))

  • I like the beat to this song but I don't understand Talib Kweli's emphasis on the idea of, and I quote, "black power". Shouldn't all races be considered equal? I guess "people power" doesn't sound as cool and won't make as much money.

  • @MaximusTCR I believe he is referring to the power of a black woman in this predicament, Lauryn Hill, as it is relevant in the song. Lauryn Hill is a powerful black woman, and I believe he wanted to emphasis the fact that she IS a black woman.

  • C'mon. THAT is talent. And he sees quality in all types of music, which not only takes talent but respect. RESPECT!

  • Credit to Ben Kweller

  • he is a very smart rapper just listen to his lyrics.

  • loooooove this song. this song stays on repeat

  • The song sample is "In Other Words" by Ben Kweller, also a good song.

  • Lauryn Hill is a stupid bitch, she said she would rather "her kids starve than a have a white person buy her cd" fuck her. OVERATED

  • @winzle1 Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe the industry, which wants her so much as she would make them untold amounts of money, could possibly want just the money and not the messages she puts across. You know the one's about there being a Babylon and how the industry is slowly raping our minds. I mean this is all just a thought, but it seems like it's the most logical reason.

  • @trashbatdotcodotck

    Still doesn't make what she said right... what an idiotic comment she made.

  • @hempster92 I doubt she made the comment. I don't think you fully understood my previous comment. If you believe everything the media says then...what can I say really, because if you do believe the media then there's is nothing I can say for you to think about this issue logically.

  • @hempster92 she never said it, urban legend.

  • @winzle1 that is definitely a terribly ignorant comment but we can only hope she has since acknowledged how ridiculous that statement is.

  • @winzle1 one of her childhood best friends was white, zach braff...

  • @winzle1 ......first of all she never made this comment. check your facts before you resort to calling names because you can't find other intelligent words to express your misplaced disdain for Lauryn Hill.

  • What is the story behind this song??

  • "give birth to a new sound like Donda West" insane shout out to kanye, and the whole song is pure madnesss, Talib, we looove you

  • i like ben kwellers original version better.
