  • Comment removed

  • he couldnt of played it off cooler i would of been like fuck dat he can suck my hairy jewish balls

  • tmz sucks!!

  • drake cant beatbox the way matisyahu can

    matisyahu is the coolest jew in town

  • Matisyahu is my hero

  • Love how their in front of a Vegan resturant .

  • Ninjews: They. Will. Win.

  • Drake is wayyy more jewish. this guy is a wannabe.

    naw just kidding, but weren't Berry Berry Kix awesome?

  • drake is jewish

  • in short words DRAKE is a piece of shit.!

  • Saying that only orthodox jews represent judaism and that Drake's Judaism is only a biproduct is offensive. ALL JEWS whether, orthodox, conservative or reform represent judaism. Please don't act exclusive.

  • @echoroxy Not everyone calling themselves something and claiming to rep it well lives up to it. Not all christians align their lives closely with Christ's and do their best within their ability do fine works and live up to what it means to be a Christian. Same goes for Jews, and what ever else. There's hypocrisy everywhere, and just because you claim something DOES NOT make it true. Your argument is invalid

  • @echoroxy idiot, hes saying he isnt showing it and he isnt actually putting anything in his music that sends the vibe of his roots...blah ur dumb

  • Drake raps about drugs, women, and shit like that. Matisyahu raps true Judaism.

  • That's not mats I'm pretty sure. His voice is different and his hair was never that gray.

  • Drake=Illuminati satanist

    Matisyahu=God fearing peaceful man

  • אמךכק

  • Bottom Line. Matisyahu is a well spoken, caring individual, fuck out of here with your misleading title. #JewBoyProblems.

  • hes high as fuck

  • As an MC Drake has nothing on Matis

  • this dude is 34 and dyes his hair grey to seem all enlightened and hassidic. About as realistic as his fake jamaican accent. 

  • The Messiah has come, and fulfilled the Feasts in the spring. All who accept him, will be given the right to be called children of Elohim; those who believe in His Name. Those that has accepted the Messiah, has become a part of The people of Israel. These are the true Israelites, the true people of Yah. Israel is still His chosen people, but There is an easier way to become a part of the chosen people today. To be righteous, and to have the strength to over the Torah. Shalom to all.

  • @Yahusheva when are you people going to just admit to being reptile shapeshifters? People have known for thousands of years, you arent hiding it.

  • By the way, When I heard Drakes music and song I thought it sounded a lot like Craig David!

  • Are jewish, without acting jewish!

  • I hadn't heard of Drake before, so I checked him out and I found that you're right, Matisyahu, he is not representing. I'm sure many people

  • MATISYAHU IS A FUCKING MIRACLE

  • lol wtf i never knew drake was jewish. lol theres something knew

  • @sharinganchidori100 ...really hah

  • drake rhymes with fake. rap that

  • I'd vote for him to be Israel's new Prime Minister, P.S. Tahnks to the reporter for not being a douchebag like the People who follow Adam Sandler around.

  • free the gaza.

  • Sorry I think he's way better than Drake

  • He talking about drake not representing judaism, while he himself is not a orthodox jew anymore. He shaved his beard and everything.

    Anyways, I still love his MUSIC

  • @redmuzam Actually, he never implied anywhere that he's no longer an orthodox jew. There are plenty of orthodox jews without beards.

  • @redmuzam do you have to be orthodox to represent judaism?? also, this was before he shaved his beard, if you didnt notice

  • Lol! Matis is > Drake on so many levels. Drake's creativity and originality are no where near to par with Matis. This is a ridiculous question. If Matis had a billion dollars in promotion he would blow Drake out of the water too.

  • drake sucks!!!

  • matis doesn't role on shabbos

  • Lion HEARTED, not APPEARANCE. please refer to the comment below for clarification.

    Selassie I

  • Comment removed

  • neither him or "FAKE" (Aubrey Graham)are anointed both servants of babylon, Read Revelation he's not a Lion, lol the Lion is a symbol of Africa or Ethiopia, A Lion comes from where? AFRICA.. Bob should not be in comparison, he was a true Israelite and Rastaman ..bless his soul forever..

  • @NehemyaGifted agreed

    

  • Sigh...such B.S. Jews are direct descendants of Israel and many are from Judah. That's why they're called "Jews". It comes from Yedudi, which means of Yehuda (Judah). That's why Hebrew still lives among Jews and they don't read about the Lion in Amharic, Engiish, Greek or Geez. Much love to Marley though. A servant of G-d is determined by his deeds. Bob earned his place in the Sun but Matisyahu is no servant of Babylon.

  • @macdonaldnathan Lol uhh they definitely do in Amharic and the Lion of Judah is in all of these languages, lls he is accept it Jews are not real Israelites, Ethiopia has the Real Jews not Palestine..Why do they not have King Solomon's Manuscript cus Babylon looted it. You and Your Matis are false Jews..Read Run Babylon Run !!!. Read Revelation my friend, God took up a new name lls and it is Jah Rastafari, Jews made a ethnicity!! dont be fooled ..read Psalms 68:31

  • @macdonaldnathan And also I would kindly like to add ..why is there not Tabernacle of the Law of God or "Zion" in Israel becus it is no longer Jah's inhabitance. Menelik I son of Solomon and First Emperor of Ethiopia inherited it through the Will of Jah

    -Selassie I

  • @NehemyaGifted My goodness. I am going to pray for you and leave it at that.

  • Bob Marley looks lion because of his dreads and beard. Matisyahu also looks a lion because of his fat beard and curly hair in the side of his hair

  • Typical TMZ: Bending the words that someone says WAYY out of proportion.

  • Regular everyday Jews are cool. The Zionist pigs that run shit, are NOT.

  • That's my rabbi right there!

  • Wow, what a misleading title, Matisyahu isn't saying he's more Jewish than Drake. He's saying his music has Jewish themes and is inspired by and about Judaism, while Drake's isn't. Which is true.

  • @StevieKIDS That's exactly what I thought.

  • @StevieKIDS but, Drake really CAN'T compare to to his jewiness..... so its sort of accurate...  I'm with ya tho... the music doesn't compare one bit....lol

  • @StevieKIDS I think that was his lighter way of laying down how Drake doesn't really compare, since there's nothing to compare anyway.

  • DRAKE DISLIKED THIS VIDEO >.<

  • To be honest I would love to see him, drake and mac miller do a track together. Jew tri-force of rap reggae and overall badassness!!!

  • @phsycosk8r429 except mac miller sucks..

  • he really is such a nice guy, I had the pleasure of meeting him and got a picture and everything he was glad to take it.

  • @fushiarabbit i disagree when my youthgroup met with him backstage at one of his concerts he couldnt be more unfriendly.

  • @jewbowl225 different experiences yield different results, he was very nice to me and the audience both times I've seen him play. He came both years for the Jewish festival to support the religion and people he love for free. He's sort of awkward and shy like Ray LaMontagne which could come off as unfriendly. Still my belief hes a genuinely nice guy.

  • i definatly agree

  • He looks soooo stoned, haha.

  • @benjaamin8 no hes just a jew from brooklyn

  • is it just me or is his voice kind of dont match his apperence

  • Such a great guy :) and im catholic and love matisyahu, just puttin that out there

  • this jew is for real

  • What's the big deal of nationality? Sound like someone is bragging about it.

  • Chasidism was considered a radical movement at the time it was founded. There was strong opposition from those who held to the pre-existing view of Judaism. Those who opposed Chasidism became known as mitnagdim (opponents), and disputes between the Chasidim and the mitnagdim were often brutal. Today, the Chasidim and the mitnagdim are relatively unified in their opposition to the liberal modern movements. from jewfaq

  • Just the opposite Drake and Bob Dylan are representing judaism while Matisyahu is insulting Judaism and his culture. Just the opposite of what he said. Bob Dylan and Drake are the real mainstream jews while Matisyahu is essentially the mormon form of jew a rebellion, revolt against what mainstream is and has always been. Search Bob Dylan and tefillin on the internet.

  • @prepstarr25 you're horribly wrong, Matisyahu sings traditional Jewish psalms and represents Judaism in its purest state.

  • Just the opposite Drake and Bob Dylan are representing judaism while Matisyahu is insulting Judaism and his culture. Just the opposite of what he said.

  • @prepstarr25 how so

  • @prepstarr25, your wrong

  • Drake vs Matisyahu

    2012 Grammies

  • Matis is too nice! haha

  • ahah matis is fuckin cool

  • I hate the title. Matis is a really cool guy.

  • The guy tried to trap him and Matisyahu spoke the truth. it sets you freeee

  • drake does not have him as an MC...

  • So does matisyahu actually believe all the ridiculous Yahweh crap...or is he just trying to represent his culture in the mainstream?

  • @Titus420ful He's a man of faith. he believes in God, it isnt ridiculous, it's his religion. I, and maybe like you, dont believe in a God or a jesus but that doesnt mean that other religions are stupid/and or ridiculous.

  • @mahavishnuxc

    You're right, religions aren't ridiculous because I don't believe in them....It's more like I don't believe in them because they're ridiculous.....why else wouldn't I believe in them? If they were plausible and based on evidence instead of so called "faith" I would believe in them....

    You really don't want me to give some of the many many reasons the bible is ridiculous, do you?

    It's right there, find a bible and pick a page at random...not my fault, don't shoot the messenger.

  • @Titus420ful Oh believe me, i have read and studied the bible. I used to be a devoted christian, but it was because i read the bible and paid attention in church that i don't believe in God. But thats not the main reason i am an atheist. the human race is the most disgusting thing on the planet and the only thing is worse is how we behave - thats why there couldnt possibly be a loving God, and if there is a God, he isnt loving.

    but thats just my opinion, i could be wrong. its all opinions.

  • @mahavishnuxc

    Actually, you are right. Some statements are not opinion. It is not an opinion that Yahweh in the bible is a monster, it is plain fact. The existence of pointless, excessive suffering means that it's only logical that there couldn't possibly be a loving god who is at the same time omnipotent. I was raised in a christian home and spent many hours in church and bible study. I just had to be honest with myself and I realized I was an atheist.

  • @mahavishnuxc

    As far as the human race....things do seem bleak, I'll admit. But I don't think humanity is all bad. I think it's mostly good, but the few bad apples that are there are extremely efficient at plaguing the rest of us with societal ills, economic disparity, crime, etc....

    The other thing to remember is that those few bad apples quite often rise to power and wreak havoc from the top down by creating things like war and child labor....

  • @mahavishnuxc

    But the most important thing these bad apples do is brainwash the masses into becoming like them. I really don't think most people are "bad"....the masses of common people are put in the position to do bad things out of brainwashing, competition, consumerism, and desperation...There has been a system created that divides us...racially, politically, religiously, economically. I really think this is what has turned the human race into one giant bad apple. We're not innately bad.

  • @mahavishnuxc

    This bad apple mill of a societal system stems from our natural human ignorance. We are slowly learning about our world, life, the universe, etc. The true bad apples (psychopaths who literally have no conscience) use that ignorance to gain power and instill fear in the masses who subsequently become consumed with the acquisition of money and "things"....quite often resulting in quarrels, lost friendships, estrangement, and even violence.

    Religion is one of the tools they use...

  • @mahavishnuxc

    Religion, consumerism, nationalism are the main tools that have turned humanity into a cesspool of selfishness.

    A psychopath is literally someone who lacks a conscience. They are 100% selfish, they literally don't have the ability to care about other people. Their lack of conscience is an effective tool to gain wealth with. They often rise to positions of power, shitting on people the whole way up...now they create a system BASED on greed....no WONDER the masses are selfish, too.

  • @Titus420ful That's a lengthy reply but you make a lot of sense, i like you. And i agree with you 100%.

  • @mahavishnuxc

    Yeah, sorry for the essay, but I just don't want people to lose complete hope in humanity even when everything seems like shit.

    I'm always glad to hear that someone escaped the christian cult. Spread the logic and stay cool my friend.

  • ahaha i love matisyahu xD

  • Peace! Matis rules.

  • Or Harvey Levin for that matter...lol. Don't burn the house down Harvey!

  • Fuck drake fuck lil wayns and all their fans!

  • drake?seriously could someone post a link my google is all screwd up.

    my sarcasm talking I will go look him up myself.  I have no idea who he is.

    I'm not bullshittin.. who is that guy? I guy I've heard of is confronted with a guy I have not....

  • @redleg15

    Me too....drake? I know someone who lives on a street named drake....

  • i hope them 2 collab one day!

  • drakes a good singer, i hate his cockyness, but thats what you assholes want from him so he supplies it to yall, but matisyahu is the best jew ever next to jon stewart, jesus was proly cool, but they are way better

  • Drake aint an MC!

  • I don't get how TMZ can twist it like that and say "Drake Can't Compare to My Jewiness" as a title. Matis is simply saying that while they're both Jewish, he infuses his music with Judaism while Drake is a singer who happens to be Jewish. It's not a dis or saying "he can't touch my Jewishness." TMZ sucks.

  • @TheSwee it got me here

  • realest dude on earth

  • Dude you ain't gotta lie Matis, we all know Drake sucks

  • beat that jew

  • Matisyahu would own drake in anything involving music!!!

  • DRAKE OWNED

  • DRAKES JEWISH !! O_O

  • @KopMATT96 Yep he is half jewish and half black- his mum is jewish

  • Hes Right..

  • Matis kills drake in music in general.

  • Back off Matisyahu his relegios beleifs are much tougher to keep than Dylan and Drake and he doesnt want what he does and how observant he is to get warped w/ Dylan and drake

  • @iPwnedUnigga Reformed Jews aren't just Jewish by name. They're Jewish by faith too. Reformed Jews are recognized by the Orthodox and Conservative communities, just not in Israel.

  • @HybridD91 reformed jews ARE recognized by every1 including israel. jews who dont even kno they r jewish would never be turned away

  • matis rullesss

  • Matisyahu>drake

  • @iPwnedUnigga actually there are 3 forms of ashkenazi Jew and that is Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. I happen to be half black, half European Jew. My family and I are reformed Jews. So Orthodox and Conservative are still two different levels!!

  • @CherryCandy84 you got the best of both worlds. blacks got soul/ jews got heart

  • So what is he trying to say? Drake and Bob Dylan are not his people and he is more jewish than them??

  • @DG3744 When the hell did he say any of that?  All he is saying is that in his music he is representing his faith as a centerpoint and they are just musicians that happened to be jewish too.

  • @ZuluSC2 Explain it to me then! Where did i go wrong or misinterpet???

  • @DG3744 No, all he is saying is that the purpose of his music is to spread and promote spirituality, more specifically Judaism; where as, Drake's music isn't specific to his religion. So the original question was talking about Drake being the best Jewish rapper, which he really isn't because him being Jewish is inconsequential to his music, unlike Matisyahu whose music is defined by it.
