The Last Emperor - Heaven

[annejailani80]

5 people listen to Justin Bieber.

[annejailani80]

Dope. And it hits deep. 

[teamlaze247]

[eldinero13]

@teamlaze247 naw man this is true HIP HOP.

[teamlaze247]

@eldinero13 oh ok thanks bro

[rosskay]

A special song to me, given to me from a special someone with a special gift 10 years ago. Memories, associations and feelings... :( *sigh*

[LoverBoyMcLovin007]

This is how hip hop should be not like main stream! speak the truth.

[speechlessofaoi]

'What I saw next, left me Speechless'

[speechlessofaoi]

'What I saw next, left me Speechless'

[shoplifting1is1fun]

Love the lyrics

[xChuu2u2]

"my private paradise"

[thekerneljames]

This is genius. Deep intelligence, heavy talent, vibrant love = Last Emperor.

[eliizme]

I STILL CAN'T GET ENUFF OF THIS 1!

[17DSG]

Amazing beat and lyrics..This is hip-hop !

[costyron]

this is just what hiphop should be imo

every vers, every line is quote worthy

[Alexxiiss]

@costyron Well it is hip-hop... Not what it should be, but what it is... As well as rap requires you to think about the words and understand them, it requires a bit of digging up the best pieces. So many people just look at todays commercial songs and do not look deeper but if you want the truth, there you have it, it's best kept secret for those who want to know ;-)

[TheGreatDeciever55]

he looks like Indian jonesbut from the projects.....Ghetto Jones

[KitchenerBombSquad]

@TheGreatDeciever55 lmao indiana jones.... one of the next songs on my playlist is "non-phixion-we are the future" indiana jones movie sample, check it out if you're a fan of the movie, peace

[damostprolific1]

@TheGreatDeciever55 gary,indiana jones

[KitchenerBombSquad]

im looking forward to this "heaven" if i deserve it for some reason

[amocrule1]

.The "blacks" that use that term as a term of endearment either do not know their history or are nothing but brainwashed fools. term was used make us ashamed of our African heritage.

When they use this term they are insulting all of the ancestors who went through hell just so they could have a chance at living a relatively free life. . Show some respect! Don't disrespect our ancestors or their struggle! You should be ashamed of yourselves. These people died for you and you treat them like this?

[TheGreatDeciever55]

@amocrule1 But if you know sociology...you'd know that societal issues like this just dont disappear..they morph. The long history of the word "nigger" is one of abuse....one of powerless people against (white) beuracrats..now that this situation has atleast in some signifigant ways changed---the word and its societal connotations will alter...black people went from enslavement to (relative) freedom---its no coincidence the word went from one of abuse to one of freedom (it a rebelous term now)

[HydroBud98]

DUDE!

[mushroomjellyfish]

Such a lush song...so fresh!!!

[shadyshade2244]

This guy is fucking amazing

[dwelor]

daaamn they got last emp on you tube now this shit was soo underground back in the day

[GreenWeed17]

live as true kings, see it in the way we do things

Intoxicate your mind without that gin and juice that Snoop brings .. baaaaamm true words 

[gbarassi]

@GreenWeed17 snoop dog and tupac are partly responsible of the state of HH nowdays

[GreenWeed17]

@gbarassi and thats the problem caus it shouldnt be about cars hoes ice and cash fella

[americanmambi]

a true rap masterpiece, i love these lyrics

[LeDuckDuckGoose]

Everyone gets stressed about mainstream and such but there are so many more great MC's who represent hiphop in a proper fashion. I can name maybe 20-30 mainstream rappers but I know hundreds and hundreds of underground mc's who have more talent than those 20-30 combined!

[coltz50]

I love this music...when I say ..I love hip hop..this is what I mean...this is the kind of music that i love...don't get it twisted...this is hip hop

[amocrule1]

"I don't embrace the taste of death, but I don´t fear it"

Beautiful!

[enark123456789]

inspiring shit

[MrCFordyce]

@TheAnd1Jordan23 its: So fresh..So fly.. my private paradise..

[MrDnogs]

i heard when i 19 years old. today i hv 29 and still good (Angola-Africa)

[JDakarai23]

I don't even respond to people who say hip hop is just bling bling sexist garbage because I know music like this exists.

[sheabuttaHBL]

damn i love hiphop.. opened up my life and mind

[TheAnd1Jordan23]

So fresh...sooo fly... I'm right in paradise  :-D

[elflordbob1]

[tomwatson1]

[dice1r]

[wokeandtoke]

I love this song I just made a new song of my own hope you like it. if so add me or subscribe. I generate my own form of hip hop i sing it in it's own unique way and it comes out on a level of it's own. 1 love

[NYG1991]

I just started listening to this dude last night & this is the definition of REAL hip hop! He's so spiritual while spitting that real knowledge!

[OldSchoolApprentice]

Just in case you are interested from what song this is sempled its Elda Viler-Exodus x)

[GregRK7]

Im so happy i found this song! thank you!

[McCrown1]

@Kentagonc Agree. But its diffrent and its dope Son!

[DonLeoMarin]

Damn wish I was in heaven right now.... Damn God help me get there sooner rather than later....

[Loudmouf84]

@DonLeoMarin enjoy this life for the fullest. Heaven can be reached on Earth, before death. Read His word and apply it to your life. God bless

[rapelpecho]

@Loudmouf84 sadly there is most likely no heaven. sorry to burst your bubble, I know it was comfy

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho sadly, you are fooling yourself into thinking you have life figured out. You say "most likely," which implies you are not even 100% certain of what you yourself are saying. So, next time you wanna be a dick and say some ignorant BS, choose the alternate and keep your ignorant comments to yourself. Because I am 100% certain that you know nothing of what you speak, and I am 100% certain you have much to learn. Good luck. Now, go read John 14:6

[rapelpecho]

@Loudmouf84 most likely because I can´t be a 100% sure. How can I tell if something that is written in an old book and written by different people over the course of several decades really exists? Its not possible to fully disqualify that theory, but MOST LIKELY its BS. For example I can´t proove that real witches don´t exist, but most liquely they don´t. get it?

TAKE YER EASY

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho I understand what you're saying. This is what I tell people who have questions about the Bible's validity. you must keep an open mind, consider what the Bible says in terms of how to live, how not to live, and it makes claims in metaphorical terms that have come to fruition, such as the Beast, etc. The way I realized the Bible is the truth is when my eyes stopped being blurred and I saw the political system for what it is, the vatican for what it is, etc. They're truly the antichrist

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho Now, there is so much more to what I am saying that i cannot begin to explain here on youtube in short writings, but for me, once I started seeing the evil in the world for what it is, and how it has been controlling people's minds, including leading people away from God, faith, Jesus, etc., it made me start to actually believe that the Bible really is true, no matter how hard it might be to believe. Then, I realized the power of prayer as well, and it just all makes sense to me now

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho I think it is very good for people to question everything, including the Bible. And I appreciate the fact you havn't been a Bible basher in anything you have said to me. but I do think that if people could see "the matrix" for what it is, see it's contol on people's minds, what politicians have done and are doing now, how many millions have been slaughtered across the world for ages because of politicians, then the Bible's messages begin to be more understood.

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho for as much death as there is on earth, not just humans, but also all life on earth including animals, I just don't believe that the creative force that made this world and everything else limited our existence to only this. I do believe this is a testing ground. "Ye tho I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me." Such a powerful & revealing message. I hope everything I have said doesn't sound crazy.

[Loudmouf84]

@rapelpecho Like I said, it's hard to explain everything on here, but hopefully you get what I'm saying. I hope you take time to continuously read the Bible, especially the new testament, as well as proverbs, and everything else eventually. inbox me your response.

[vcvalles]

Well spoken. Your song is real hiphop. Its Free of the calamity no need for insanity this delivers us from vanity as it surfaces I feel the victory! It makes one feel proud to stand as who they are and find what the seek. Brings happiness into the mind in the battle of sin in defeat.

[wrathofthemath]

i really don't get this. how can cats as raw as last emp go unnoticed? how can real hip hop go unheard? how can bling-bling pop stars ever get confused with emcees who kick knowledge and enlightenment?

[MOMOg33]

@wrathofthemath Because People now days don't want to hear good lyricall MCs like us hip hop heads they just want to hear bubblegum pop that they can sing to and party to and that has no meaning.

[mojoswoptopz]

@wrathofthemath because people don't want knowledge and enlightenment! They want to live in a fantasy world and sit still dreaming of things they can never achieve by sitting still, instead of gaining the knowledge and enlightenment go out there and achieve it!

[protosidle100]

@wrathofthemath Nigga ain't unnoticed, Man gets big respect all over the hip hop world. Many of his tracks are produced by Dr Dre, He's opened for KrsONE and the Roots, and more then one prominent rapper has been quoted as saying that he might be the best lyricist there is.

[kirkikane]

@wrathofthemath because our comericlised world survives on a human that resloves there life around money and not some one that speaks of greater things. we live in a sad worold

[dramaskrybe]

@wrathofthemath -the common person doesn't care about enlightenment, not if it means one must put forth some effort to achieve it. money buys substitutes for enlightenment: "education," whores, booze/dope, all false forms of advanced states of mind.

[elflordbob1]

@dramaskrybe Education is Enlightenment

the rest is false forms

[sheabuttaHBL]

@wrathofthemath i guess its not what kids are into these days. + they probably don't understand any of it. all the stuff today is simple an broad. so its as if they can learn every word after listening to it twice yknow. (or i dunno just throwin shit out)

[mattbrownbill]

@wrathofthemath simple explaination... the world is no longer in pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment only mindless entertainment to give them a brake from thinking about their pathetic lives as worker ants...

[DonBasse920]

@wrathofthemath well its easy to be a fan of this music art and ask that, and i honestly like alot of underground hiphop myself. but i also know that this music is rather booring 80% of the time, and very depressing, this track is a perfect example of that. i dont doubt its well written and a nice story being told, but people seek stuff like this in books or poetry, this isent realy something that belongs in music and is therefore not as wanted as other genres. there's ur answer.

[thcthc]

@DonBasse920 Hahahahaahah :BUAHAHAAHHA IDIOT!! blues and rock started this shit ...blues isnt exactly cheerfull u idiot..im not insulting people on the regular but u deserve it... Simon and garfunkel , Bob marley , The doors , pink floyd....i could go on for days about people with sad and heartbraking lyrics..u dont have a clue..stick to your soulyaboy or whatever...WHO ARE U TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY LOOK AND WHERE THEY LOOK IT??i shit on people like u

[nammikallinn1]

@thcthc

No, hip hop is not from blues and rock if you are saying that, the origins of hip hop comes from Funk & Jazz.

[thcthc]

@nammikallinn1 that means man is not evolved from fish but monkeys? tsk tsk...

[stevenglo42]

@wrathofthemath Because the masses just want fast food, and this is just to much for them to chew!

[mitko23]

@stevenglo42 well said.. well said ..!

[LukasLEakers]

@wrathofthemath because mainstream nigs aint got a ear for the lyricists/lyrics, they simply like just a good chorus, or just the instrumental...but remember, hip-hop also has to do with energy and a lot more than JUST meaning. i understand what you are sayin doe.

[dwelor]

@wrathofthemath so tru homie so tru but atleast the real heads can hear this and appreciate it

[Pakn206bones]

@wrathofthemath its the media putting out mindless garbage to keep the mass pop. dumb deaf and blind. For most its what is fed to them. this is for the free thinkers.

[77Night77Shade77]

@wrathofthemath It's the money, the companies and record labels. If you look at it this way though, maybe some of the underground emcees are happy that they're not mainstream, maybe they don't want to be tools to make rich people happy or...maybe they only want people with taste to find their music so they hide in the underground.

[DemonicOgEmek69]

@77Night77Shade77 Well said. I think the same way sometimes. Maybe they dont want to go mainstream!

[zanziblaque]

this is stillof the best HH trax ever...

[LadyOfWordz]

Not the Heavens above..he clearly speaking from the Highest State Of Mind..You Know,The Higher state of mind that Kanye West Walked away from In The Power Video.

[CHi1Is1TRUTH1]

this shit is so heavenly its a def mans remedy, a tune to bring a lost soul serenity, enough to squash the entity that been trying to hide in the depth of me, i see things clear now that god came n stepped in me, received the gift of telepathy and i use to speak the truth thats what a true blessing be, i treat all my people the same cause i understand no matter what they aint less than me.....

[kerrmy1]

a dude in my old youth group read this to me .

[yossarian1633]

love it. a lot.

[snowlauncher79]

This jam just gets better and better the more you listen to it.

[camronwishart]

did dr dre try and sighn this guy ??

[MonimosOros96]

@camronwishart

probably no but someone has to give last emp's songs to dre so he can sign him

[the1jah]

@camronwishart  dre did sign this but he left or got kicked off the label

idk why tho

[snowlauncher79]

The golden age of hip hop will never die.  It has become truly timeless just like Beethoven or Mozart.

[Phonetik831]

Na bro, he says "where men and women don't have to be so provocative"

[MistaBrown420]

Found something he messed up on. at 1:04 he says " women and women don't have to be so..."

That would not make sense as we all know.

[opydopy]

Dope as fuck sample, Dope as fuck song.

[theseventhcypher]

@opydopy check this out... search on youtube for El Da Sensi, song "Crowd Pleasa" .... both that and Last Emp sampled from the original song from the 1960's movie The "Exodus", search The "Exodus" song on youtube.

[9thwonder91]

@opydopy black opz - battle cry uses the same sample too

[the1jah]

" Just give praise and thanks to the most high and maybe we can all make it and take it right back to the escense when I get to Heaven"

[HubbaBubba949]

There's no stress in heaven, we all relax. & REAL lyricists sign record contracts. Not these gun-totin', blunt-smokin' cross-over acts. Lyin' on wax, claimin' they drop facts. Imagine possibly, no animosity or malice. Where your home is a palace, sippin' wine from a golden chalice.Real music. Hip Hop Won't Stop <3

[stevepogie]

Although this kinda goes against my style of rap I dig this track, Last Emporer is unique and creative with his rhymes, drops mad intelligence, brings his own style, and is easily in my top 5 rappers.
