RJD2 - Ghostwriter

[MrGoosegossage]

This song is on some insurance commercial on TV... Dope song

[Hamvair]

I crap my pants whenever i hear the epic trumpets

[Vince77777777]

its not low quality as on emight think..its to sound like an old player that plays an old record (not a cd)

[Lambert0000]

@Vince77777777 ok, thanks! I had the same thought because honestly it's an unusual choice. I like nevertheless!

[Lambert0000]

@Vince77777777 even though the basses distort quite a lot from 1:34 

[N0GoodUsernamsLeft]

I can't figure out where the fuck I've heard this song before.

[Lambert0000]

@N0GoodUsernamsLeft /watch?v=TaNBuqSuNqk perhaps?

[draganovkassiar]

@N0GoodUsernamsLeft it was in an auto insurance commercial some time ago, AAA if I remember correctly

[teimu2]

@Sickdudenomnomnom Guys! A "video" is actually comprised of a video and audio stream. The quality of one is independent of the other. It's just 2 types of data that are coupled in a container format. HOWEVER, youtube will re-encode uploads to a one of a few quality profiles. This has the possibility of degrading either stream. And, because the video stream quality determines the overall quality, yes, this is probably a poor audio encoding too. And 'p' is for progressive scan, not pixel.

[Lambert0000]

@teimu2 although I found more than a website where you can play the same mp3 and it's around 8MB (so I guess a quite high bitrate) and still has the same low quality....

[beatq91]

świetny kawałek.

[jamaka70]

Thumbs up if u like this song ! :D

[Bay0ThaiX]

@jamaka70

[cadizz0]

I've never heard something this unique in my life.

[Ereinset]

The good ol' times when Hip Hop was mainstream.

[123456543213]

chad motherfucking jones

[ishboh]

@123456543213

hahahaha you sincerely made me laugh out loud with that one, I was not lead here by sc2 so it made that so much more hilarious

[LufCOllie]

And here i am...5 years later from when i first listened. big tune

[ChAoS9779]

@LufCOllie Seems you're not alone.

[adrian14752]

Jamie xx sent me. well not really, Jamie is a huge fan as I am to Jamie.

[blobbhed]

Could anyone tell me where the original samples are from because I swear I have heard all different kinds of stuff from earlier and it wasn't Rjd2 I think.

[iTzWalruz]

@blobbhed Well, at least the epic trumpet fanfare that kicks in at 1:30 is from Secretary - Betty Wright

[iTzWalruz]

@iTzWalruz Sorry, Secretary - by Betty Wright

[TheDoze013]

Damu the Fudgemunk and Rjd2 the best hip hop beats ever made on the planet!!!

[iTzWalruz]

Got here from CLA, I'm glad I did.

[VideoWatcher2oo9]

Thumbs up if jacob sent you!

[awhdam422]

The trumpets are my favorite part!

[LeyNOS13B]

I always envisioned this song in Cowboy Bebop or making a video where a guy in a Mexican poncho and sombrero is walking around playing the guitar line with a few backup instrumentalists doing the other bits as they stroll through the desert

[d1995a3]

Thumbs up if you think this song should be apart of Little Big Planet.

[d1995a3]

AMAZING!!!!

[JugglerJJ]

awesome video

[000evelina000]

Jest ktoś z sadistic? :D

[HerrJacuch]

@000evelina000 Oczywiście ;p

[pietrakosiu]

NICE SONG !! NICE NICE NICE ! FUCK NICE !

[Bananowyziomek]

Simply the best chillout :))

[blackdog5703]

What is the oldies song that the sample is from that kicks in at 1:51 with the trumpets. Its driving me crazy...

[Deimocracy]

@blackdog5703

Secretary by Betty Wright

There's an album called "RJD2: The crates" where you can find all these songs.

[garyw930]

A Bizarre Collection Of Puzzles by The Enigma

[XPD541]

Try listening to this song with the sound of a rainstorm in the background.... Very nice. ;)

[MrKenjinta]

[TheNutsyMan]

mfw all you have to do to see the video is clicking the full screen button

O_O

[huntersuckscock666]

i was gonna beat off but this song is too good.

[deathstarliketheship]

@huntersuckscock666 dude no

[Ph03n1xOfficial]

Only few musicians can sound amazing at 240p.

[Sickdudenomnomnom]

@Ph03n1xOfficial I'm laughing my ass off by seeing how somebody can think the p (pixel) do have anything to do with the soundquality

[Batuhankorman]

@Sickdudenomnomnom It does effect the sound quality. Go listen to a video with 240p and 1080hd for a second. Learn.

[Sickdudenomnomnom]

@Batuhankorman Dude xDD GOOGLE IT! imagination is something beatiful

[BBoyDirkNL]

sick sick sick

[chalkeywhitey]

I found this in my favourites...I dont ever remember listening to this song before...But to be honest, I'm glad it was there. It's insane!!!!!!!

[marcosnl281]

@chalkeywhitey Same here, i'm glad i saved it. it just played!!!

[Tr0al]

Why can't all Hip Hop be like this, instead of dull, repetitive bullcrap..

[XPD541]

@Tr0al AGREE! Hip hop was never really this good. Especially now, with all the overbearing beatz that keep getting steamrolled into album material... But true electronic music is just a flow of ideas that ended up as artwork for the mental palette of the masses. THIS SONG, just the way it is, without any additions or subtractions, is a great example of that art.

[gabsav08]

my favorite part about the song is black screen you stare at...waiting to see if something will come up... haha

[jensyao4]

oh it'a killing me...some random southern rapper used this sample at 1:40 help me out

[Netaork]

z0r . de / 30

[isabellarockerfeller]

crazy sick mother flippin YOOOOOOO

[SKATEOUTTACOMPTON]

[fikapaburk]

This guy used to play cs 1.6 and freestyling in ventrilo, it was crazy. sick the cat made it!

[NotForYourParents]

this is what hellen keller sees when she listens to RJD2 0.o!

[moddedwarfare113]

137 people are deaf and just looking at a blank screen

[koloryjesieni]

If somebody doesn't like something, it doesn't mean he/she's deaf, does it?

[misteralmuranas]

Hey! @koloryjesieni ;

 @moddedwarfare113 was making a joke....Don't be so critical..Learn to laugh.

[Nisfornarwhal1990]

Holy shit, this is the first time i've looked at a page of comments on a video, and there hasnt been anyone acting like a dick or being negative.

Congratz everyone

[ArniieeCDJ]

@Nisfornarwhal1990 Go fucking kill yourself you asshole..

Soorrry.. must... maintain..... BALANCE... AAARGH

[Th3Unf0rg1v3n95]

@Nisfornarwhal1990 thats because most people listening to this are probably stoned

[Gza22]

@Nisfornarwhal1990 I don't have arms or legs, I'm bald and spit through my forehead, and I hate negative statements!

[shadetdark]

But i guess the bad part is that there's 138 people who doesn't care about a bit.

[bizzybozzy1]

@Nisfornarwhal1990 there are actually 138 negative people that have watched this video :(

[cradle190]

every time i hear this i think of Champions League!

[GRAHAMS95]

i love the visuals

[xsh0ckerx]

[benusmc6154]

Thank you Pandora.



[ihnlChiv]

[Crosssover92]

i feel like driving up to the mountains and ride the snowboard all day, when i hear this song!!

[alexvalstef2]

@Crosssover92 nice :p , i feel like some cool chick flirtin wif guys in a club and feelin like "hell yeah, bitheeez " lol nah jk , i just feel bad ass if i walk in the streets wif this song :p

[mofoheltahskeltah]

@Crosssover92 i went to whistler BC snowboarding and rocked the remix the whole time.  it totally enhanced the experience!

[dzosefable]

love it

[TheRussianGlory]

I just feel like sparking up a doobie everytime I hear this song. Ugh, damn midterms.

[OmegaXF]

@TheRussianGlory  lol

[Jiveness]

No shit! He is sampling "I Didn't Understand" by Elliott Smith for the vocal harmonies! (Obviously not the soul parts, but the outright harmonies). I love Elliott Smith, what a pleasant coincidence! (i.e. 4:26).

[imperialstout3030]

[Wofoongen1104]

[markedone150]

how come this guy has sooo many views he aint working on Sony label isnt he?or married to Madonna?

[ThundaAaAaAaAaAh]

@markedone150 no, he's just good

[emperorles]

The original sample is Paul Desmond "A Taste Of Honey." I was listening to old music with my dad and stumbled upon it!

[BleedingOne1]

Psh, Fatboy Slim will always be the sample master

[DBA1104]

@BleedingOne1

you mean wax tailor?

[Jdshald]

@BleedingOne1 daft punk is also debatable.

[TheGoodChap]

4:06 A drum solo in the form of a break made out of a sample that was originally a break? I can't believe I've never heard that being done before (for all I know it has been done many times) But wow, that just took me back for a moment.

[DAVET0NE]

ouahhhhhhh-BEAT. now thats how you start a groove

[Wofoongen1104]

I cannot get over this song I listen to it every chance I get and sometimes that still is not enough!

[dre311w]

whenever i hear this song i hear voices of singing in my head. or i might just be high and its in the song

[MegaGreenBull]

@dre311w how old are you? 12??

[dre311w]

[Sophaayx]

[DarkTowerTube]

That's a cool ass song. Got to love those horns.

[Kubilai1989]

@DarkTowerTube that are trumpets ;D

[pineapplebaron]

@Kubilai1989 That are bad grammar. ;)

[OMFGitsRainingCows]

THIS SONG SUCKS ASS THE ONLY GOOD PART IS 0:00 TO 5:18

[BoberJr]

@OMFGitsRainingCows

you and your thumbs up wish

[OMFGitsRainingCows]

@BoberJr lmfao i thought it would be funny :p

[MrTopShota]

RJD2 and J DILLA (R.I.P.) some of the best to ever do it

[r3tr4d]

It doesn't get any better than this. Absolute phenomenon.

[ludaticDBM]

Love this song.

[graffitiking100]

were ma bitchs at ?

[homoismand]

I don't know if you like it but this track reminds me of "Lars da Fari". He's a DJ from Denmark who makes some small tracks but if you want to hear them check out his Facebook profile or his band "Tudsegammelt".

[homoismand]

I feel like skating..

[Mortheline]

Saw him live last night, recorded most of this song. It's AWESOME.

[7kubert7]

we need a time machine and 135 condoms

[AndyRoddick969]

I <3 Sluts. Thumbs Up if you agree. . .

[chrome00]

My love for real hip hop sent me here, fuck the rest.

[bjcworth]

this becomes epic at 1:28

[quickskopznz]

@bjcworth This becomes epic at 0:00

[dankdewdries]

do you hear whispers in the music?

[cheeseitjn]

thumbs up if obviouslyjesus sent you

[KryptoGore]

My ears lost their blindness thanks to this song<3 I listen to it every time it's my muse for writing and drawing, editing 2, what the heck for living all round.

[swanch99]

1:32 onward goes hard

[TheSVROfficial]

nice

[sereal511]

look up babylon 2.0 by tom burzi he trust me its not a waste of time and he raps to this sample

[greyslover4ever]

wimbledon song :)

[Jimmyl2227]

Whenever I listen to this song I wanna walk down the street leaning back

[tommyk1347]

@Jimmyl2227 Like a boss

[homoismand]

@Jimmyl2227

Yea I do that sometimes when I'm listening to some music on the iPod and it suddenly comes on.. After the song it happends that I feel stupid but I know people would have done the same if they could hear the song!

[motan7864]

Destiny has great music taste he should put out some sort of music compilation

[perezmj]

I listen to RJD2, but Destiny still brought me here.

[1996913]

I thought rjd2 was black.. no racist :\

[Bragemenn]

@seanross25

Sounds cool.

[Bragemenn]

@seanross25

Wow, reeeeally good.

Didn't like Tranquility too much, but it sets the tone of the album nicely, I guess. Liked Thoughts of the Philosopher and Day Dream very much, and I have an ambiguous feeling towards We Have a Theory ( need to listen more to it ;) ), and that's how far I have come, I hope the quality persists.

[justkevin09]

who is destiny?

[ZhuSeth]

@justkevin09 ROOTDestiny.

[justkevin09]

@ZhuSeth even though i think its lame you watch other people play sc2 (i love starcraft btw) im glad it brought you to rj

[TheMrKlowb]

@ZhuSeth You mean Infestiny

[python08]

This song has parts from I Didn't Understand by Elliott Smith...

[tacru73]

DESTINY FANS UNITE!

[v7y78]

[framk20SH]

[sjdmmr]

Destiny sent me here.

[Pyroman0909]

[copthatpussy]

@mtoplica keep looking haha

[bighugellama]

wish this video was in 1080p :(

[typerfel]

@bighugellama honestly there would be no difference.

a black screen in 1080p is not improtant.

as far as i know the music quality wouldnt change :(

[bighugellama]

@typerfel excellent troll

[typerfel]

@bighugellama lol <3

[senorgabriel]

@typerfel Ya but the sound quality would

[Lennethare]

my friend found this video offensive, but hes a white supremacist.

[GothamCrusader01]

[thesuperskull]

@GothamCrusader01 its just you dude, i see a whole fucking circus jumpin round. im sory for you

[stanislaus76]
