[3YECANDY08]

D!s !s SMooth i love D!s type OF muS!c This Takes me baCk

[etyvnio]

R.I.P Baatin, your words in this song are so true for music artists!

[EdiBlazE]

I loved baatin's voice and cool demenour.he was the silent assasin

[guitarplayer123]

I hate how my friends can listen to the carter 4 or anything on the radio and think its so sick. and when i put on some SV or Elzhi or any underground i get bitched at becuase "nobody knows who they are" well shit just listen and figure it out. I have no friends with the same taste in music and it pisses me off, until i throw on a nice track like this and i say FUCK THEM ALL

[lexxxymaelady]

@guitarplayer123 fuck that they have no idea whats good for their health they just go with what everyone erlse likes

[guitarplayer123]

@lexxxymaelady hell yeah your right. i wish we were friends so we could enjoy awesome music together!

[imthemosthandsi]

@guitarplayer123 haha "listen and figure it out" TRUTH!!

[IEtherianSoul9]

@guitarplayer123 I'm in the exact same position you're in.

[skyrimplayaz]

@guitarplayer123 i feel ya man , same here ....

[cyrusjerome]

@guitarplayer123 dude your not alone my friends are the same. wutever as long as you still consider them friends. maybe one day they'll grow up and get their fuckin lives changed

[guitarplayer123]

@cyrusjerome ha yeah for sure. maybe they will get off mainstreams cock and listen to some talented music. but until then ill just blast my shit and not give a fuck what they think. they dont know good music anyway

[KaiL3127]

@guitarplayer123

I have several friends that listen to this kind of music.

Even if they haven't heard of it, they just go with it and nod their heads...

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but it must suck for you.

[guitarplayer123]

@KaiL3127 yeah it sucks but oh well. it happens almost everyday becuase i love my music and love searching for good artists but people dont see music in a talented form. they just hear something with a beat they like and they just go with it if others are listening to. its like nobody wants to be there own person they just want to follow everyone else.ive noticed most people who listen to underground artists are more idependant with themselves and there music. sorry about the rant lol

[devie1629]

caught my last boyfriend with this beat.

[traphop12]

got free time

check out ben fame freestyle

[MrDLHart]

Anybody notice how he drew a triangle on the record contract.....?

[Malakyah101]

@MrDLHart 4rel, he just draws circles around the edges of the triangle, never peeped that till u pointing it out bro, great lookin out. I always just assumed he signed with a signature, buggin out now cause I missed that. apparently no one else cares.

[pitopito121]

cant never get tired of this track

[guitarplayer123]

Since 2002 ive gone through phases where i always come back to this CD and i have to listen to it over and over. this song i could play for the rest of my life and i would still sing it at the top of my lungs

[imPulse1919]

what up? ima 15 yr. old artist and im just trying to get heard. you probably see alot of comments like this on youtube but i promise its worth checking out my channel! Im a talented emcee and if you appreciate hip hop you'll appreciae the dedication i put into my craft! If you have the time Comment & Subscribe to my channel! I appreciate it :D #SupportRealHipHop

[kuriosity89]

@imPulse1919 The reason we completely disregard comments and channels just like yours is because you are contributing absolutely nothing to this song or video - not even MENTIONING IT - and instead you are selfishly using it as a tool for self-promotion. Good luck and all, but have some respect and check your moral compass or otherwise take your shit elsewhere.

[imPulse1919]

@kuriosity89 i understand where your coming from... but, this shit works. and the people who do come to my channel from a comment (which is most) have said it was worth their time. If you dont click it OH WELL... theres someone who will. BUT, just dont be that nigga bitching about hip hop is dying when you wont give new artists a chance.

[kuriosity89]

@imPulse1919 Hip Hop's not dying, it's just finding better places to reside. The garbage we hear is not Hip Hop.

And this isn't about not giving new artists a chance, but about your shameless self-promotion and how people like you copy and paste the same comment everywhere you go. I checked your channel anyway - you are definitely good, especially for a 15yr old. But that same copy+pasted comment cheapens your credibility, especially when you don't even acknowledge the video you posted on.

[imPulse1919]

@kuriosity89 well i gotta do somethin. this lil copy and pasted comment is the easiest way to do things. i dont necessarily have the time to write somethin special on every video. I do do it on some of them though. Just let it be known i do listen to most of the songs i post my comment on, and they r always on artist who i listen to. i do appreciate you checking me out regardless tho, thank you

[nicos808]

@imPulse1919 go away rude boy

[ymmystic]

[pedjorge]

More songs like this please!

[smokey42899]

Greatest song ever

[TLong88]

This is real hip-hop. RIP Baatin and J-Dilla

[lisaray101]

I still can't believe this song came out in 2002.I remember when this song was on heavy rotation on 106 and Park. That was when they actually played real hiphop videos with real MESSAGES.

[backwoodz3900]

RIP Dilla and Baatin!!!!!

[VanillaSuburbsfromCC]

INTEGRITY HEART SOUL!

REAL LOVE!

need this shit this days...

[PyroCham]

RIP Baatin & J-Dilla.

Without you 2 Slum Village isnt Slum Village no more...

[MrJAV90]

this brings me back to the early years of 2000, during the summer. then good music started to dissappear in 04

[seboufdu59]

I seriously miss Dilla, and now Baatin. What the fuck ?! There's so much injustice in this world.

[StarBrown08]

I so remember this, I was like 4 years younger when this came out.

[iverson2k10]

@StarBrown08  4years ago?!?! damn you must be form europe or china etc. this was out 9 years ago lol 2002

[Quinalphahmax]

ima have song wit dis instrumental they're illuminatis

[Quinalphahmax]

[ariesrule751]

[jclassy]

BET BEEN garbage.

Chick at 3:39 is nice nice tho!!

[AjLVChi]

OH MANNNNNN!!!! This was my song!!!! This song is hott I looove it!!!! It's REAL authentic Hip hop! Just realized Dwele was singing this song w/ Slum Village!! BET needs to play REAL Hip hop like this!!!! This is a JAMMMM!!!!

[illmatic826]

@AjLVChi I gave up on BET a long time ago

[AjLVChi]

@illmatic826 I know right!!!! BET is like really a ridiculous station because it's not Black Entertainment at all! It sucks for real! Sad to say, but it does! I actually kind of gave up on BET too though!

[illmatic826]

@AjLVChi all the shows on BET now is all these crazy ass money hungry black women shows talkin shit about black men, shit is just pathetic now

[AjLVChi]

@illmatic826 UHHHHH........NO NO NO! I would have to say that I disagree about that! In fact, the "My Black is Beautiful" is an excellent show for AFRICAN AMERICAN/BLACK women, but only has like 20 episodes in which it should stay on for a whole season! I think you're going about it in a wrong way to degrade African American women by calling them in such a disrespectful matter "crazy a$% money hungry black women!" I also HAVE NOT heard African American women degrade black men on this show!

[dmarco46]

@illmatic826 100 all day

[kickass5]

@AjLVChi blaxploitation evil television- huey freeman

[tigga2425]

[KollegeGirl13]

I remember when BET used to play music like this. Matter of fact I saw this video for the first time on BET. Now all they play is that fake, auto-tuned stuff.

[yei19]

@KollegeGirl13 man.. i do feel you.

[bboytrigger123]

@KollegeGirl13 So true!

[MsTasha007]
