[Yoyourma]

Aww yeah fresh mango and green smoothies.

[vikingluv7]

summertime niggerin' out. cleanse out the lead/iron/mercury poisoning in the hood would get conscious.

[conshuscriterion]

Just because your body can't do yoga and you might be outta shape doesn't mean you're dumb! The mind is a powerful thing beyond what the body can do! And ANY form of SUN worship is occult practice! Constantine worshipped the CULT of SOL INVICTUS or the invincible sun and transmogrified Christianity with his own worship for political purposes and that his empire might not be ripped apart NOT because he was a Christian and believed in God! Some say he converted on his deathbed! Maybe who knows?

[MrUrosSrb]

@conshuscriterion I happend to know what u talking about,but what does that have to do with the video?

[Reykwon805]

This my favorite song about summer.

[batman3875max]

This song is in my summer soundtracks!!! Must play!!!!

[illmaticstatic93]

fucking love this song

[conshuscriterion]

Hip hop does need healin! Reach out and make a difference to the ones you live and look up to! Or the ones you see everyday that you never really knew!

[conshuscriterion]

@reddaugc904 I appreciate that insight actually man thanks! Thats something I honestly didn't know! I simply know that most times when the satanist crowd, whoever they might be usually reference the sun and it's worship! But thank you for that though! I didn't know about yoga!! I wish I could stretch enough to do yoga but my body is a little beat down!!

[thatstrangerapperkid]

@conshuscriterion Haha, my religion has a chant to the sun to start off the day, and it's definitely no Satanic, cult practice. I don't know why stic.man does it, but I don't think he tries to be involved with that lol. And it seems like they would support socialism so they can be free of some greedy capitalistic practices they disagree with. Don't give up on dead prez because of it, they're still great!

[B7acKLioN]

alot of beautiful sistas in this video....real talkk

[youngdon132]

this is a beautiful song...it just has the summer feel to it

[fultonforde]

Whoa, dead prez has come a long way from "Hip Hop". A long way down. This shit could have been written by ARC Music factory and Rebecca Black.

[AeonFlexMusic]

@fultonforde why does it have to revolution 24/7 for you? can't it be summertime for once? pathetic. You're listen to good music yet you're mind is filled with air.

[eldiablov2]

@fultonforde This song, like all their stuff, tells a story

[nizzins33]

wow what an amazing song

[rulezster]

What the hell happened with dead prez???

[conshuscriterion]

Love the song, feeling the rhythm and harmony was good til he said he does his little sun salutation! satanism damn it! Thought I might actually had found sumpin real! Nah and in tha next scene hes showin a little kid a sign that says we need socialism! Why? So some other mother fucka can rule and lord over us??? The very thing I THOUGHT these muthafuckas was rappin against they still silently support! Man fuck this shit! Wake up people ain't nuthin real left devil destroyed it all

[umusuuk]

@conshuscriterion Sun Salutation is a Yoga stance. And if you're surprised DP are Socialist, you must be new. And socialism isn't "some mother fucka ruling over us", it's democractic redistribution of wealth.

[Garou3D]

@umusuuk sadly every political and economical system doesn´t work, it always becomes raped when its apllied to society, in democracy the ones with power never let go as it becames the same in socialism

[rawfood777]

Fiyah!!!

[muslimpower123]

i see some people write black here and black there but its not about skin color and some people have to understand this first or there will never be a world without rascism.

[sadiq53]

Thats the real hip hop , the rest of the radio garbage is str8 up garbage . Radio is producing garbage...GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT how can you expect anything else if your listening to slave making messages. Peace out

[MsKaren215]

Literally my favourite song ever.

[TeenRiot]

man this is a fucking beautiful video clip. i want my life to be like that.

[Dre36]

This the jjjjamm!!

[SirPiesButSeckz]

What's the chorus sampling? The melody to it is from a R&B song, I believe.

[4hoodedniggz]

Almost time to bump this song again.

[olemew]

@4hoodedniggz actually you can bump this song everyday, listen to the chorus.

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

@JacquesJoset I think you have been blinded by the cock and balls hanging from your head in front of your eyes

[JerkCough1]

Examination of what your mental is being fed...Don't just listen to beats listen to what cats are feeding your mind....

The lyrics "I wake up early in the morning/do my sun salutation" Listen starting at 2:33

When you hear words that sound catchy, funny , out of place or that you have not heard before questions what the rapper said or meant. Do some research.As these subtleties can be implanted into your subconscious without you knowing it.

[JerkCough1]

Sun Salutation ?

Used in yoga.......The Sun Salutation originated as a sunrise greeting to the hindu deity Surya.

Surya Namaskara (IAST: Sūrya namaskāra) or Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun"), is a common sequence of Hatha yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a worship of Surya, the Hindu solar deity.

This cat worships a hindu sun god...

[JerkCough1]

....

[JerkCough1]

Deuteronomy 4:19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars--all the heavenly array--do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

[thepeacemaker91]

@JerkCough1 Sun salutation is also a type of stretch, but you could be right bro.

[Dre36]

@JerkCough1

Whether its Hindu or not the sun plays a part in all our creation and is a form of intelligence. I dont think Its about Religion, its about recognising a higher energy that help put you here and is keeping you alive in the first place. You can attach any ideology/culture to a religion. Its whether you recognise the higher forces (in this case the sun) within that ideology. Just sayin.

[thePolerin]

@JacquesJoset stayed in Africa? what the hell you ignorant piece of shit. WE stole people out of Africa in the biggest forced migration in human history. And that "[black people] aren't like whites." brainwashed bullshit can get right the fuck out.

You are the reason I hate youtube comments. Grow up, open your eyes, see the beauty of the world around you, inherent in all peoples. Your life will be so much better for it.

[DIZZLEyrf]

@thePolerin initially, slaves weren't stolen...they were bought. Black people were enslaving each other in Africa far before 'the white man' got there. White people were 'put on' to slavery by elite class of BLACK Africans....just saying

[rastachas]

luv it!!!positive vibe, chillin enjoying life smokin weed, ther jus enjoyin life, will always luv em

[chilla44465]

summertime



[chocolatekindofcool]

[ilov3chicken69]

ive heard dis song at least 100 times at least nd im still not tired of it

[mumbleman8]

this video is done really well. I dig it. Looks like it shall be on VH1 or something. At least a channel that plays good music videos. I would've said BET but BET is garbage. but that's just my opinion. Great video

[mumbleman8]

this is a tight video. right on. i like the old school rap style you got on this song.

[beatz1212productions]

Nice Jam

[BigLvsuLB]

[notinthesense]

whats with the new mainstream looks prez? what happened to some dreads? sell out much??

[TheOneIshi]

@notinthesense Same Prez different look

[notinthesense]

@TheOneIshi I don't think so brother. The look was part of the Prez. They're aint no room in cultural warfare for chains and clean cut hairs

[zencuco]

Teddy Pendergrass - Come Go With Me

We all got same skin, same eyes, same hair, same blood. Just in different color and shape. Because we are human. We are Unique and we are same born from our mother. Love your mankind. One love.

[Bodyboardable]

10 people are livin in the wintertime

[tharagonn]

A black man walks into a bar. A white man says; "No colored people allowed in here!” The black man says, "I'm born black. When I'm freezing, I'm black. When I'm sick, I'm black. When I'm dead, I'm black. When YOU are born, you're pink. When you're freezing, you're blue. When, you get ..embarrassed, you're red, when you're ...dead, you're purple and you're calling me colored?"

-Thumbs this up if you're against racism

[PoeticSongstress]

I have no idea why, but this song has been in my head all day! I played it like 6 times before leaving my apartment, went to the library, played it about 2 times, and I'm now at the computer lab, playing it ONCE AGAIN!  Great music. It's just smooth, a real groove; true music!

[maxsantamonica]

What album is this on ? 

[zebragarden]

@maxsantamonica This song is off of Pulse of the people

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

LOVE DEAD PREZ

[Swingingsixtie]

songs like this reminds me of the meaning of being black, i love it, i love it, peace 2 all! Black power!! one life one love.

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

@Swingingsixtie Does this one love you speak of include white and brown? I think it should be humanity power, not black, white or brown power. Just love and respect each other for what we are. Humans. It's all about empathy, understanding, caring & sharing. Not colour, culture or creed, though all these should be respected for what they are, as humanity, understanding and forgiveness will help the human race progress more than squabbling or bragging about what we were born with or into. PEACE X

[NUBIANWORLDORDER]

@RecalcitrantBiznis "Blacks" say Black Power because for sooo long- the image of "Black" and the word "Black" has been portrayed as being negative and evil. Saying "Black Power" re-instills self esteem and love for one's culture. Dead Prez makes music that caters to Africans in the struggle, and people who have been murdered/oppressed for just being "too African". Swingingsixtie was just expressing the love for his/her own culture and heritage. Whats wrong with that?

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

@NUBIANWORLDORDER Nothing, There's nothing wrong with expressing love. It just seemed a bit hypocritical saying black power and then in the same sentence, one life one love. Maybe it's just me, but I'm quite sure if I put up a slogan saying white power that i would get branded a racist. I just think things should be more equal. I am white, but I am also Irish. The Irish were enslaved by the British about 3 - 400 years before any African. HUMAN POWER!!! NO NWO NOW!!! PEACE X

[sixfourallstar]

@RecalcitrantBiznis -Check the history behind the "black power movement". You'll learn that "Black Power" emerged in the 1960's to combat the belief system that blacks were helpless and inferior to white's, a system white's created to oppress black people. Irish people celebrate Saint Patricks Day to celebrate that they are proud to be Irish. Black people are entitled to say they are proud to be black, without being racist. Escape your brainwashing and stop being afraid of the Black Man.

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

@NUBIANWORLDORDER P.S Whilst the Zionist, Fabian, NWO fascists are running the show, it won't matter wether you are black, white, brown, jew, christian, zulu or muslim. They want a population reduction of 90%. They dont care who remains so long as they will bow down to the "New World Order". Their goal is a microchipped population, a cashless society, one world army and police force. The enslavement of Africans and Irish alike was childsplay compared to what they have planned now. NO NWO NOW!! X

[diegoadelgado]

@RecalcitrantBiznis tell that to the white brotherin

[RecalcitrantBiznis]

@diegoadelgado Tell what?

[diegoadelgado]

@RecalcitrantBiznis the southern neo nazis about the NWO's apathy towards specific race

[mptisdope]

@RecalcitrantBiznis



[ricavale]

If you have to ask the question of whether or not Dead Prez includes all people, than you ain't paying attention.

@RecalcitrantBiznis

[LiBlub1]

@RecalcitrantBiznis Are we equal?

[SocialistDemocracy]

lol at the v neck and scarf but other than that DEAD PREZ IS THE SHIZZ you other dudes hating miss the point, yall looking for what you want and not realizing this beauty playing in front of your face...what a shame...

[HipHopApostles]

i am the creator of the "HipHopApostles" group on facebook and would like to share the real hip hop with the people who give respect to it

[WRATHOFYAHWEH777]

dead prez is honestly the best music i have been listening to since 1993! only thing i do not like about dead prez is its always about my people meaning they make music for the blacks. we are all human and we all struggle. no matter the color we all are brothers and sisters! yahweh yahuwshua our elohiym

[aud10]

for those of you who are saying this is out of character for dead prez, see track 13 on Lets Get Free, "happiness"

[Thundercats567]

@aud10

happiness, be healthy, discipline, mind sex. all of those songs are mad chill

[crcsector9]

fancy style... dead prez rules da business.

[KillaB89]

Well, i think that we should cut these brothas some slack

Their message is not only just "fuck the system" and "kill all the popo"

One of their prime messages in their music is also Love and also UNITY amongst black people, which we are lacking seriously sometimes....

[flemingia]

@KillaB89 It's not just black people. The human race in general is lacking. A lot of us have become so dependent on being wage slaves and separating things by whatever means that we don't even realize that we're prisoners in our own heads.

[davereisig]

DEAD PREZ 4 LIFE !!!!!!! RBG 

[Bustahh]

haha, Seriously this is shameful. they've sold out HARD.

from championing the underground to generic mainstream bullshit, what happened to the fight against the man, they were such whiny faggots come to think of it.

fuck you dead prez. I have no love for you anymore

[TBPrecision]

@Bustahh Not really u won't see them on Mtv

[thepeacemaker91]

@Bustahh what the fuck are you on about man.. Dead prez is anything but mainstream, maybe you should get your ass onto datpiff dot com and download the lastest FREE mixtape, gangta grillz. with dj drama

[Herbie1011]

where can i get that brooklyn tshirt?

[derpater83]

@Herbie1011

saw 1 in a tourists-store in brooklyn ;)

[FromTheStreetsOf]

def. beats any of Youngmoney raps..

[MilanKingz]

man this ain't the deap prez I remember... Wearing jewelery and fancy clothes. what happened to all that RBG and rap about the struggle and poverty???

[coGthuG]

@MilanKingz yeah seriously,

[valcearulz]

@MilanKingz They ain't struggling and they ain't poor no more. Singing about that would make them fake. So they don't do it because they're real mother fuckers.

[youngmusa0321]

@MilanKingz even in the desert there is an oasis. They've been in activist mode forever they need a break too.

[quimpio]

total switch of style but yet it works.

new song with an old school feel about good times...

[emesvideo]

good rap !

[ODBARCA]

from thugs to fags

[PoetriiseStanzafyah]

[braininahat]

Hip Hop for real.

[sombermike]

true hip hop fuck lil wayne!

[meeputube]

Funny that this is the only Dead Prez video that can be featured. Still love it though, it's chill.

[bckicksbutt]

im so not used to seeing dead prez do somethin so easy going and peaceful, its aight but i gotta say i like their harder stuff better

[flemingia]

@bckicksbutt Yeah man, this really caught me off guard. However, it reminds me of summers when I was younger.

[88ladylove]

lovely video!!

[dkmd5353]

good song, nice to see someone make a good song without talkin about killin someone or sellin drugs or reppin a gang, with that said....whys he got a AK-47 tat on his chest hah that shits hard

[bckicksbutt]

@dkmd5353 you must not listen to a lot of dead prez

[dkmd5353]

@bckicksbutt na i dont whats good with this guy

[bckicksbutt]

@dkmd5353 these dudes are prolly some of the rawest mc's around, most of there music is nothing like this, most of it's about political issues, racial issues, revolution, they say some pretty powerful shit about guns and drugs too, this is the only song like this i've ever heard of theirs

[dkmd5353]

@bckicksbutt ooo shit damn yea they made that song Hip Hop. They were rockin red rags and shit that shit was wild. They look so different in this

[bckicksbutt]

@dkmd5353 yea they look kinda like most other rappers around now, they're rockin tight jeans and yellow v necks, i guess you cant be cynical all the time but they just dont look as cool with this style, they're still dope ass rappers though

[tittyballz2]

i needed this as of rite now man...laid back

[Uwawe]

I want the lyricsssssssss
