  • i remember playing this to death when i was 18-19. im 24 now

  • Brother Sam! Hah!

  • Thumb up the real hip hop that gets lost behind the bullshit bubble gum hip pop.

  • @TzekYoSelf a true but people who watched this shit and the 4,071 who like it.... dont worry it will live on, and not through the 77 weezy lovers haha.

  • Mos fell off hard. He used to be dope as fuck back then.

  • @DownloadDoctor1 u trippin hes still real he just got older

  • I'm really wondering what those 77 people would say if you asked them why they didn't like this. Of course everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just not finding any reasons.

  • takes me back

  • This is why I Fell in Love with HIp Hop

  • me likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • such a filthy track .. sheeeeeeit

  • In remembrance of 9/11. I mean, In remembrance of all non muslims passengers and victims that perished in the Twin Towers, at The Pentagon and in the United Airlines Flight 93.

  • @elfribeiro ?! what happpened to tower 7 lil boy? u say that i change faith and worship whatever umba lumba u worship

    On ov the greatest of all time

  • this song still gives me the chills for some reason,

  • Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

    

  • 77 people think pitbull is real hip hop :D

  • I'd rather hear it in 240p......than not to hear it at all.

  • @goose3249 ah yes that to :)

  • Idiots, these are the kind of conspiracy theories that the right wing falcons so dearly cradle. In fact, sunni extremists, sympathazirs of the Al Quaeda Mujaheddin, did the dirty job and let, afterwards, to the morons do the misinformation work: “The USA government blew up the Twin Towers”.

  • Kazuya Mishima's cousin LOL!

  • DJ Honda recently had a song with Sean P.

  • Crazy to see those towers in the background...

  • DJ honda looks like a yakuza hitman

  • Dj honda's in the house ya'll !!!

  • It's interesting how so many films have the twin towers in the backround of NYC

  • rap history!

    dope and the hook chills me out every single time i listen to this

    you dont have to be black to feel the beat banging and controlling your thoughts

  • Man this song always gets to me. reminds me of good old days 2001 lol.

  • That flow at 3:02 fucking owns!!

  • Best flow ever!

  • greatest hip hop song of all time

  • i lost my hip hop roots a while back ago listening to lil wayne drake and other mainstream rappers found this song in my itunes now i barely lsten to those rappers just mos big l 2pac and biggie

  • mad skillz + cool attitude + authentic style + real message => mosdef ftw

  • @dacrazyportagee ! dude i agree,i bought it back in 98,just like you did my friend,and this song is one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life,i always wished they would have done an entire project together!14 bangers of hip hop soul. peace

  • Amazing track that I've had on numerous ILL hip hop mixes over the past decade or so

  • mos def = rapper from Gorillaz

  • @jojanko

    the rapper in the Gorillaz is Del tha Funky Homosapien.

  • @jojanko

    no that's del tha funky homosapien

  • @abulkhair77 I think that he's referring to Mos Def being on two songs on the Gorillaz new album "Plastic Beach", as least that's what I got from his comment.

  • Now does he really think the world trade center was an inside job and the americans have not been on the moon ? ...

    Woo dude ... a little to much weed i guess ....

    But good musician anyway

  • @Audi0Phil i believe it, its not too much weed just a lot of evidence and good theories. but yeah hes def a good musician

  • @Audi0Phil Actually bombs went off from the inside of the trade centers and after that attack the government got their funding to invade iran and iraq and the main reason they invaded was for the oil also if you watch the moon landing theres footprints on there before they step out plus theres a sandal. Everybodys got their own opinions i guess.

  • good stuff

  • the mighty mos def

  • "Cuz this thing called -Rhyming- sort of like coal mining...we both on assignment to unearth the diamond." One of the best lines i ever heard.

  • @mcsuchnsuch One of the most underrated MCs most people dont take notice till its gone

  • Premo beat with great mc = great music !

  • @WestSideConnection5 Dj honda did the beat....

  • @gdotddot DJ HONDA just mixed it a lil bit up nothing more than that ! Original beat is from dj premier

  • This is what i'm talking about, real hip hop!! This shits on Lil Wayne, too bad more people don't listen to real hip hop! There is a new group called Dark Nirvana kind of reminds me of Mos Def because of their lyrical content. They are young and upcoming, check em out at youtube(dot)com/user/OFFICIALD­arkNirvana or just search Dark Nirvana on youtube or facebook. look for the smiley face! (Just a neighborhood good Samaratin bringing the future to you)

  • You start arguing bout muslim radicals,terrorists and shit like that while listenin to a great artist with one of his best tracks? You´re retards ;) Shut up and listen to the flow

  • In a world of empty bottles Mos Def is hard liquor. Harsh. And..., where have our beloved Twin Towers been thrown???????? Fucking muslims... Why did he (Mos Def) have to remember us of 9/11???????....

  • This song is oddly nostalgic, but Ive been in the same spot for years. Im travellin maaaan.

  • lol Rah49 I wasnt even being sarcastic by the way, I do rate him. Thanks for the heads up on who he is though!

  • ... not trying to be funny, but this damn song brings back so much memories!! Hip hop was on another level back then. The baseline kinda reminds me of True to the game by Ice Cube

  • HOT TO DEF BEST CROSS CONTINENTAL COLLABO EVER! IF YOU CAN'T FEEL THIS YOU COLD!

  • I wish I was as cool as the Asian guy in the background

  • @ikechukwu101

    The "Asian Guy" is DJ Honda ;)

  • @ikechukwu101 hahaha!!! Its his album..He should be entitled to at least a background shot!!

  • fuckin Mos, he is a Giant!! A wake up dreamer. A free soul. He seems so honest, so close to you...

  • This reminds me of my brother. 

  • i love mos def! no homo. but on the real almost any mosdef song puts me in a happy place. but so does and HIP-HOP song. has anyone ever heard the album with MF DOOM and MOS DEF. if not check it out,.def a good one to add to your collection

  • one of my fav songs of all time

  • ffs people this is music , leave the crap and nonsense for elsewhere

  • Mos Def ..so underated ..

  • @yaboychooey ..i agree dude..classssssss act

  • @yaboychooey no doubt. i actually saw him in an episode of House the other day. very multi-talented

  • @yaboychooey agreed, but if overrated is lil wayne... Keep Mos underrated. I had the blessing of being able to see Mos Def @ University of Utah a few years ago and most the peeps there only knew him from his acting career, it was sad. RESPECT REAL HIP HOP

  • Comment removed

  • @yaboychooey, i don't think he's underrated. he's known to be one of the best by those who know better.

  • haha dj honda just seems awkward

  • This is some real deep shit. Real talk.

  • nah bra, the u.s government had nothing to do wit the attacks, but like any other act of crime there were inside men, probably within the various federal departments but 2 say the u.s government knew abt it,is an unsubstantiated statement wit no conclusive proof. but 911 was used as xcuse bt then again wudnt u retaliate?

  • u takingm me bak bruh, ooh the memories

  • ooh nice song ><` eh memories..

  • @KamikazeiOo

    memories indeed man, takes me back everytime i hear this one

  • to the ppl below, comment on the track and thats it. Go to newsvine if you want to go off on politics

  • I have never posted a comment in all my years on the tube, but I gottta let you know your on point. I was literally picking up my key board to play this track.

    T. Chomes

    Cali Wide

  • 1) This song is awesome.

    2) Yes, 9/11 WAS an inside job, do ur homework people. (And there is NO WRONG PLACE to talk it).

    3) All religions are nonsense IMO, but while we still live in a country where "individual freedom" is put on a pedestal, you have 2 respect others decisions 2 do what they want with their life. So, allow others 2 be their dumb-ass selves & devote their entire current life 2 some stupid ass book, for promises of an afterlife.

    My point?

    Live and let live & Investigate 9/11

  • لعنة المسلمين الذين شاركوا في تدمير برجي مركز التجارة العالمي، يوم الثأر قريب.

  • ...insallah i am coming back to you...

  • can't get more hip hop than this right here...

  • Cmon man, how did this turn into a talk about Muslims and 9/11?

    this is Mos Def bow down

  • ESSE UNDERGROUND É DE MAIS MALANDRO VINICIUS DJ

  • This is so damn dope - You don't just hear this song, you feel it.

  • whateva mos def a fucking mason and the muslims didn't do that shit and he didn't even care about that shit.

  • Damnit! i cant find the un-edited version

  • A beautiful homage that perpetuates the memory of THE TWIN TOWERS, savagely destroyed by the hate of a ragtag bunch of illiterate muslim desperadoes. Mos Def message to these despicable scum that rage the Middle East is clear: "I'll be back".

  • @elfribeiro YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT DID THE TWIN TOWERS AND THE REST OF 9-11!!! BIGGEST SCHEME OF ALL TIME CAUSING WORLDWIDE HATE AMONG PEOPLE AND AN ENDLESS WAR.... HOWCOME THE AMERICANS WON'T SEE THIS? ARE YOU REALLY THAT DUMB????

  • @killerkluivert a dude im an american and i agree with you our government was at the head of 9-11

    and so were other governments and dont know where your from but governments all over the world suck

  • Mos def is chris tucker and dj honda is Jackie Chan!

  • I remember busting this track at the final day of High School all the people were bursting in tears cus of this song I miss those time I wish I was a Travelin Man and travel back to those times miss Compton but SF is alright.

  • Dope song & video!

  • preemo flipped it better

  • none open minded people can suck a dick ......hip hop for life

  • The media made muslims look bad, and ignorant people are falling for it.

  • @hydrokek amen to that....people should listen American terrorist from lupe..then think about who is the real terrorist..

  • @hydrokek Now my man mos def be makin' muslims look good again :D woot

  • @hydrokek America always has to hate somebody whether it be a religion, country, or race of people. It's sad really cuz we supposed to bring peace and stability. Thats the facade anyway

  • I got a Quran after the towers fell. Been reading slowly, to make sure I 'over'stand it. I wont let others tell me what it says. Those words existed and sustained the lives of millions before my great, great grandparents (on both sides) fell in love & made the love that led to me. Make a statement about no religion until you have read it's Holy Book. Witnessing the results from the act of a few individuals and the words of 'talking heads' will never provide such knowledge. Free Yourself!

  • Best Rapper Ever Your Flow Best

  • the islam is not the topic here, here it's about musik!!!

  • It is increible that those who (mis) judge Muslims/Islam REFUSE to see that CHRISTIANITY, not Islam, has HISTORICALLY been the most DESSTRUCTIVE, ANTI-HUMAN, ANTI-NATURE religion the World has ever known. And the most SINCERELY NICE folks i have EVER met were not Christians, with their INSINCERE relations, but MUSLIMS and others of that faith. Ya'll know it! The last person to disrespect you, or the last person to steal something from you, for example, was a christian!

  • why it's dj honda?^^

    the beat is from dj premier...

    peace out

  • Man you guys,i heard the best travelin man remix..you guys would fucking bog over it no doubt.I have yet to find it on YT

  • OLDSCHOOL but F*cking AMAZING!

  • one of the top 10 hip hop songs of all time rite here...classic material..

  • As I listen to this beautiful song, I got a buncha' retards on the comment section below. Guys, girls. Shut the fuck up, and listen to this beauty. This is hip hop. And Mos is muslim, and listen to what he promotes, peace. I'm Muslim, I wouldn't hurt a fly. Now humanity is very judgemental, and it's in our nature to generalise because our brain can't cope with making a group for each person we meet. Please read about if before forming an opinion from political leaders who want money not peace.

  • these ignorant shitholes... havent you learned by now that racism in general is an extremely stupid thing? if you havent then grow up. you cant say anything about muslims because of just a couple terrorist attacks carried out by who happened to be muslim. hell, every race does things like that sometime or another

  • god (enter ur own fake religious leader/god) dam i love Mos Def, i want this song played at my funeral

  • My 2nd favourite Mos Def track, my favourite's Universal Magnetic <3

  • never gets old..

  • Sample Jerry Butler - What ever's fair :)

  • Muslim desperadoes? Islam is about unity peace and love. How can a few extremist dictate almost a fifth of the worlds population. Its kind of funny lol because Mos Def is a Muslim. I would figure a person with hip hop intellect listening to Mos Def would know better

  • @AiYPremo what is the price for leaving the Islam community? you're killed. Where is the love and peace in that?

  • @rockos414 first of all its not the 'Islam community' it's the Muslim community. 2nd of all, Islam has certain conditions in order for an apostate to get the death penalty. i.e. he/she has embraced Islam freely, then rejected it and then began spreading slander against it.

    Punishments include EITHER death or exile. The same concept (more or less) is applied to 'treason' in the U.S

  • @mchypothesis slander can be interpreted by disbelief or simply not agreeing with the tenants of the Quaran.

    Now that you clarified some things, it really does sound like such a peaceful religion. If i disagree with Islam they'll subject me to death or exile.

    The concept of treason is completely different. I can talk as much shit as i want about America. But i won't be sentenced to death or exiled.

    Islam is not a religion of peace.

  • @AiYPremo shut the fuck up idiot its just a song you fuckin hater

  • @AiYPremo

    THIS IS ISLAM "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike

    it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and

    love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know

    not" (2:216)." Right from the Quaran. There's a bout a thousand verses like this in there. Peace and love my ass.

  • @Jshmelo did u even bother to read about the context of those verses and what the situations they were referring to? If u read the actual history of Islam, it would make more sense. btw u can claim Islam is evil and violent and barbaric all u want but these r merely emotional arguments that will never come close to destroying the Truthfulness and validity of Islam as being the way of life prescribed by the Creator.

  • @mchypothesis I've read the nonsense and I've read it through eyes of objectivity, not the eyes of willful ignorance. Through out history , most Muslims were converted at the end of a sword. Read some history that isn’t tainted by the brainwashed or the brainwashers.Please explain to me the context in which its a good thing to kill people who don't believe the same fairy tales that you do...and please refrain from the context of "because a magical man in the man said so!".

  • @mchypothesis Religion is a disease. Fortunately it's often a fatal one. I want all the religious idiots to hurry up and kill each other so the rest of the planet can flourish in actual enlightenment. Then maybe we can step into the fucking twenty first century. A salmon in the lake um. 

  • @AiYPremo it's not just about muslims man... it's about music! we bouth feel this piece so...it's not Allah, Christ.. or whatever...it's MUSIC!!! so...keep travellin'...

  • @AiYPremo mos def, common, talib kweli, jungle brothers, TCQ, some of the deepest rappers, I love to analyze their lyrics. thats what makes them great lyricists.
