It ain't hard to tell - Nas & Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Four Tet mix)

[HatFortress2]

Better than the original Nas track.

Goddamn.

[Mum2Boys]

Oh. My. Gosh.

You sir, have made a masterpiece.

[Kubiak04]

what in the fuck is that at the end? 

[joepbailey]

Seriously.. GSYBE are like.. my favourite band EVER.. and Nas is one of the favourite rappers.. and I've ONLY just heard this.. I've been seriously missing out.

[KrivaKarta]

This just works. It might seem as a weird combinatio, but works beautifully. Kudos to the author.

[troskaska]

imho better than both original songs

[SpartanM621]

Can we make post-hop happen? 

[Itasattc]

Post Hip-Hop

[LordTunnok]

This is so different yet it works. I'm a fan of both artists and have been for years, for me this blend works superbly. I can understand why both parties will frown upon this but for those select few who love this mix, bravo.

[rickdickboy]

can't believe how good this sounds

[thestormlscoming]

madd good, brah!

[brandnewshoesfool]

One of the best Hip hop songs ever created mashed up with Godspeed...yeah, there should be more of this.

[tromal217]

this is such a great idea of mashup and a great song.

But it's impossible ton find this song on MP3, legit or not, where did you buy/find it ?

I really need this on my computeur.. ^^

[SpartanM621]

@tromal217

Good Gravy, google 'youtube to mp3' and go for the top result.

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

BOTH ALBUMS SHOULD BE MIXED TOGETHER IN THEIR ENTIRETY!!! This is just plain good, that is all.

[26mistakes]

this is too good for words..

[notElecguitar]

i think nas is a talentless ass clown, but uh...when he flows over my favorite Godspeed! song id have his babies.

er, actually i should probably just proposition andrewmdg

[anthony6151]

good song

[OLdiirtyBaldwiin9]

this is discussing why kill and original ?. . 

[LordTunnok]

Works so well together, the ending is a little harsh on the ears but other than that one of the best songs I've heard. Easily.

[Hitamaru]

The strings are too dominate... Maybe if lowered. Its a great mashup but the strings are louder than Nas's vocals.

[Ihidaya231]

@Hitamaru Thank god for that!

[musiqgem]

I noticed that viewers who think this version is garbage get their comment hidden!!! Hmmm, what happened to freedom of speech???

[andrewmdg]

@musiqgem there's only ever been about a dozen or so negative comments on this video. The only ones I've personally deleted were either racist, overtly stupid and belligerent, or contained inappropriate, offensive language. Note that all the rational, polite comments are still here, both negative and positive.

[sonikkuffffff]

@musiqgem uh, freedom of speech doesn't cover the internet. clearly only ignorant kids think it does. you have no rights on youtube. you are merely given the privilege to post here.

[vikingwizardeyes2121]

Wow, it sounds like it could be an original track!  Awesome!

[ChickenDownloads]

I can't help but think that this is the future...I just can't stop listening! Are there any artists who do something similar?

[biscuthead123]

@ChickenDownloads

mad conductor

[ChickenDownloads]

@biscuthead123 You have just given me my new musical obsession.

[bachelorfox]

@ChickenDownloads mate, there's a project called Wugazi, which is a mash-up of Fugazi's music and the Wu Tang Clan's raps. check out the track 'SREAM'

[apollosfury]

Doesnt go together, Im a huge GYBE fan and a HUGE Nas fan and this just doesnt fit well :(.

[001edwards]

sweet and low.

[Vertsk8er419]

it's as if the music is mourning the lyrics behind the voice behind the ego beneath the world... the music reflects more purity and beauty than the lyrics in this fusion, that's for certain.

let it be clear that syncing with the rhythmic progression of the instrumental is the easy part, finding words of equal profundity and effect is a completely different story...

[jacksonthrasher]

best hip hop song ever

[Weirdalexo]

Outstanding

[Inresurrection]

They should have jumped on the opportunity to call this It Ain't Hard to Sleep.

[XeeGen]

Hip-hop and rock collide and only 10 dislikes... then you know something is truly great

[MusicSportsPolitics]

@XeeGen to be fair, i would hardly call this rock. GYBE is definately post-rock. Similar name, completely differant music.

[AakwardAardvark]

no like or dislike but the instrumental could easily fit other songs but is just not fitted for this one

[Ezekiel25Colon17]

oh wow, 3 of my favourite artists. i've never seen this before.

[l33tmad]

Simply amazing. My two favorite genre collide. Fuck the haters. Nas shoulda been a little louder though.

[TheLongingSH]

This only confirms what I thought; Four Tet is godly.

[Ne0Xer0]

Never heard of Nas (shame on me)... but this mix with GY!BE is killer!

[TeslaSMTM]

@Ne0Xer0 daaaaaaang.. Nas is like the legend of the east coast sound. Thats like someone not hearing about 2pac.

[rbdregs]

that is beautiful

[DinosaurJones17]

Amazing. That is all that needs to be said.

[acceptableviolence]

fuck this faggot band, bump the main man nas!

[LaLiLuLeLo1991]

@acceptableviolence The great thing about this song is that it combines two types of music that you wouldn't normally think would go well together. I'm sure the vast majority of people who watched this prefer one type over the other, but they are all still mature enough to appreciate it. Everybody but 9 people who watched this video agree, but you have to be a dick & talk shit. Piss off you fucking troll.

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@LaLiLuLeLo1991 appriciating something isnt necessarily mature...just sayin. still you told  dat hoe off :P

[Authorminor]

@acceptableviolence

I laughed really hard. 0/10.

[FuryoftheSound]

I need a download of this song

[G4br13LD4u3r]

d(*_*)b .... beautiful

[gkgkgkgkgkify]

Epic song & epic ending

[wheeyeonwhang]

great song but the 2nd verse starts a beat early -__- so he added a break to get it back on the right beat for the 3rd verse

[darkshines0]

Jesus christ

[juanmacome]

KOWA SAYS FUCKING AMAZING

[Chris0BW]

i'm not gunna lie at the end of this video i thought something was wrong with my computer. [2]

Fucking great bootleg ! Perfect ambience

[misterbuckethead]

fucking awesome....

[Maztuhmind]

this just keeps getting better.

[R3v01u710n]

Holy balls this is better than life itself.

[R3v01u710n]

Holy balls this is amazing

[opiumguy491]

WOW always been a fan of gsbe, and nas is my favorite rapper. Never thought anyone besides me would think of this :O

[olushala]

These songs were meant to be together. It's love at first sight.

[C0DZ0R]

holy shit, nice

[urckrecords]

not to criticize this great mix, but maybe bring up the MC a tiny bit! otherwise this is ace!

[MrIsaacE]

@urckrecords send your advice to helpfulinput@fourtet.cares.com

[TbTReviews]

holy crap, how did they think to do this?

[peschi79]

I like it, but it seems like the instrumentals are a bit too loud.

[lightlord99]

i'm not gunna lie at the end of this video i thought something was wrong with my computer.

[abigwreck]

@lightlord99 same haha

[drumONdrugs23]

*_* i like.

[holyjesus]

worst remix ever

[3051massive]

Wonderous!

[vacopolycangus]

This is the best mashup I've ever heard. 6/5

[ChadKroegerful]

@vacopolycangus daysofstatic AMIRIGHT

[horsemilk]

[samuelbellpierre]

[chrisdonahue]

no no no No NO.

[SecretAgentKoek]

Best mashup ever? Highly possible.

[DrNedwardio]

Absolutely beautiful... the tone is somber, almost like he brags but he does so from a sense of self-doubt... or like... some shit..

[johanthepirate]

Fuck, this is awesome.

[UrbanRats]

I listen to this almost everyday.. damn.

[TheRowbutt]

This is the definition of beautiful.

[pulverkaffi]

OK, that was just amazing.

[LeperAffinity]

this is NASty :D

[Writtenjustice]

This is amazing.

[TheKonrad88]

That's a great stuff!

[sivart771]

Why would you ruin a perfectly good GY!BE song? ;_;

[lotteryinbabylon]

Now I must listen to "Lift Your Skinny Fists" and "Illmatic" back to back. AWESOME.

[MelancholyDane]

Why would you ruin a perfectly good Nas song? ;_;

[rhymeswithgabriel]

@MelancholyDane no.

[Cr0ssDressiNate]

Awesome mix! I've been trying to find Post Rock mixed with hiphop/rap ever since I learned early 90's British post-Rock was influenced by rap. Even though its just a mixup, it blends together so wel!

[protozeroone]

Wow this mix is amazing.

Any way you could send me a link of this?

[JoyceJennings]

Wow, that man was a genius for doing this mix.

I just hate that the final product has an error during the last few seconds. D:

[infern22]

where can you find the mp3 for this? Can't find it anywhere :(

[daweon]

I do not think if you can mix this type of music.

It's like connecting circle with square.

[BlackNazareth666]

Incredible track, I would love the mp3 of this! Godspeed and Nas are one of my favorite artists in general so this is amazing.

[djdorama]

song was awesome before, song is awesome with this

[deirbomber]

oh and godspeed music affects me prufundly.. this band makes such a beautiful and artistic music.. they are genius.

by the way, nas first album is excellent. miss the good ol days of real hip hop, the one that makes you feel like a human, not like a dumbass wannabe gangsta thug like the stupid industrial puppets of today

[eredh]

Does anyone have an mp3 of this?

[smiechtel]

Amazing.

[hellaburns]

I love this!

[rhymeswithgabriel]

holy fuck

like, FUCK, LMAO

jesus christ i can't believe this works so fucking well. i'm seriously dumbfounded by how amazing this is

[bronzeprince]

the lyrics timing is off edit it a little better i love the beat

[TheGoblinChicken]

Awesome. This makes rap awesome.

[TimothyCraw]

Hah. This certainly was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting something terrible.

[nickthebasketcase]

Fucking godly

[cheesewithcrackers]

This works wayyyy better than it looks like it would on paper, and damn am I glad it does.

[thenisancient]

it's gorgeous.
