[haroon19able]

" Nice "...

[wiscounter]

[KennyObiWanKenobi]

Love it :-D

[MrXcxcxcxcxcxc]

best video intro 0:48 ever

[LiLDrummrBoy1]

I want those Timberland earthkeepers he has on. #swag

[Bindydog]

I remember when this was the best song ever.

[alexhettig]

@Bindydog still is

[barluba1]

very nice video and song

[flycentro123]

I met these guys back in 93 during the Lolapoolaza in New York, they were in our hotel on the Jersey side and got kicked out for cooking a pig in their bathtub,, they were a weird group of southern inbreds..

[StevelandPS3]

go head Mr. Wendel

[neoninjajava]

^^good back story!

[thomohawk82]

Damn Looking back the 90's were really cool! :-)

[MrAnnunakki]

epic

[turnbacktime]

american dad? klaus? lol

[chinary8]

"Two dollars means a snack to me, but it means a big deal to you." What condescending hypocritical BUNK.

[MrMattyvibes]

@chinary8 haha, right?

[Aldenissin]

@chinary8 No, your the one being condescending. Perhaps you should ask yourself if you don't agree with something do you understand it first, before passing judgement. As someone who ate bread and rice almost exclusively for a month, $2 was much more than a snack. I might of ate off that loaf of bread 2-3 days. Two loaves at one dollar each at Wal-mart, for almost a week of bread. I was thankful for every dollar that I received, no matter where it came from.

[kmp3000]

Remember buying the original vinyl when it came out. Classic.

[wolfgangmaxx88]

iv been homless my whole life this is such a good

[Doteatsurpants]

RAHHAHAHAHAHA 0:48

[MoneyC225]

Conscious Music! It worked out well in da late 80s & early 90s cuz of da Black uprising. Dem punk ass record execs of today won't promote this kinda music now becuz they won't us 2 hate ourselves.

[polistyrenejassband]

@MoneyC225 alot of the big rap record execs are actually black (bad boy/roca fella) i think its more about making disposebel music you can fire out easily and make the most profit not keeping a culture down

[louietheduke]

back when hip hop had a message and black guys had that leather tricolor africa necklace. I miss the 90s hip hop :(

[loyalmyrmidon]

Watching Venture Brothers led me to this band...

[bubba34839]

boy that brought back a lot of memories

[MrJovansMama]

I wish they had a like button on here

[gjpvidz]

this is one song that never gets old to me

[TheRomanceKidd]

i used to listen to this all the time when i was young.....

[Kruspe1801]

54 personas con ignorancia de la verdadera musica y que en su vida escuchan Lady Shit o Justina Gayner.... 

[NMMojavePoet]

I used to think I was the only white guy on the planet who listened to this band. This was inspired music. I miss groups such as this.

[darko8471]

anyone who has never heard of these guys PLEASE listen to PEOPLE EVERYDAY

[snoop12345ful]

This song rocks always will.

[allnorweiganwood]

thumbs up if venture brothers brought you here, and you thought they were talking about the show arrested developement and are completely ignorant to music like this.

[TheHauntedleg]

Good tune@certain parties.

[pcburgh01]

Great song. A jam from my days. Still great all these years later. TY

[black4pienus]

@pcburgh01 best music is from the 90s!

[pcburgh01]

@black4pienus Phish is technically from the 80's, but their best work was done in the 90's. But yah, there was a great mix of hard rock, hip hop, rap, jam band and even the Grateful Dead. (Im a hippy music fan). But I love all good music, Good music can unite the world! Have a nice day man.

[black4pienus]

@pcburgh01 yep me too. I love oldschool hiphop, but also bands like pearljam nirvana and redhotchilipeppers.

[rogerrrubin]

I first heard this on Radio station KFOG in San Francisco way back in 1992, and it was the memory that brought me here

[williamkid02]

@missy5245 so did mine



[citygurl104]

This song should be the Occupy theme.

[cassiuscluh]

"If your name ain't arrested development then save your Speech."

-KRS

[thompkinsbilal2]

I LOVE THIS I MISS THIS BLACK PEOPLE LOVE THIS

[YunikoonTheSecond]

How the fuck could this be the 9th worst rap song of all time?

[flyguygoon1]

@YunikoonTheSecond cause who ever made that list was stupid and didnt get the meaning of the song

[mistakenluv]

@YunikoonTheSecond YEAH NOONE EVER SAID LIST MAKERS WERE SMART OR HAVE ANY TASTE LOL

[cassiuscluh]

@mistakenluv I think that list make had a MistakenLuv for art....

[hatshepsutiv]

I loved this group when I was coming up. A lot of positiveness in their music. Music with positive messages in it are hard to find these days. I had their autograph. I think I lost it though.

[BeLikeWater1000]

@hatshepsutiv true that spo much hate these days..this songs great

[BurnlnHell]

FOR BRITISH EYES ONLY.

[undathebridge]

i think i dig

[freekshow95]

[deejayhog]

I used to listen to this when I was like 3 back in the day when we used to live in Scarsdale, NY. I still call the song Mr. Window 'till this day. I love it with my whole heart

[PsychedelicWinter110]

@deejayhog haha i always thought it was Mr Window too. such a great song

[bdizzle757]

This a great song ... but the best part 2:49

[El3m3ntXIII]

[SENORGLAMOUR]

[Getrealpeeps]

@ 0:48, ROFLMAO, I was rolling...

What happened to this group? This is a SLAMMING song...

52 people DON'T LIKE Mr Wendall? (SHAME ON THEM)

[iHATEcheckminus]

will it ever be this good again . . .

[missy5245]

My teacher randomly showed this to my class today. Beast (=

[lolcattz]

@missy5245 Same but 2 weeks ago

[dragonkiller556]

@missy5245 Lol me to XD

[cassiuscluh]

@missy5245 So glad that schools... it sounds like they're finally start to recognize how good, positive, original, and message driven Hip Hop can be.

HIP HOP IS NOT ON THE RADIO.....anymore :(

[missy5245]

@cassiuscluh

(: Yep

I never knew hip-hop could be so clean! My eyes have been opened! :D

[cassiuscluh]

What the hell!? to the side of this video they have all these great, legendary respecful artist/video suggestions like Digable Planets, Fugees, Pharcyde, Digital Underground, Tribe! (hand claps)

and then in the middle they have Juvenile!? back that ass up!?!?!!!? I just hope young kids see the giant difference.

they got Regulate too, which isn't "positive hip hop" necessarily, but at least that song was hella dope and original.

Early-mid 90's: mos definite my golden era of of Hip Hop

[bajanqt123]

@cassiuscluh I was sayin the same thing, those were the days music was ...cant even find a proper word to describe it..but it has soul and meaning and i wasn't even a teenager yet at the time and somehow understood these songs

[missy5245]

@cassiuscluh

Ha (:

[MrSkatelondon]

@missy5245 lool same here, last week :D

[MrXXPOPSXX]

@missy5245 rock on, good start in life

[SicSyke619]

@missy5245 haha similer story here and my teacher showed me this in music since we are learnin bout hip hop culture and rap and instead of showin us the new eminem or some shit like that she showed us some real rap like this and the sugar hill gang

[jbird278]

[carconkar]

Thumbs up if the Venture Brothers brought you here.

[redskins2k]

my first album my mom bought me when i was 5 for xmas

[911chrystal]

I was stationed in Japan when this came out, had to wait for the video and everything else! great song, and paved the way to honest songs about real life !!

[Erdrickgr]

@911chrystal So basically you think that before 1992 there weren't that many honest songs about real life, but once these middle-class hipsters started preaching about how cool it was to be poor, then things got real?

[actressin2008]

I have a crush on that dude,where is he anyway?

[DAYD111]

Sick bass!

[MegaRabbit00]

This is a mad and original song GO mr WWWEEENNNDDDEEELLL !

[gapyourpost]

[sirdaniel421]

one of the best songs of the century. seriously

[xoxxobob]

does anybody wonder what happened to Mr. Wendal?

[nevillewood1]

@xoxxobob best question of century 

[MsMbrowneyes]

late 80's maybe eraly 90's,,knew him cuz (ex-husband),, ,, his name was tony martin,,but he worked with my ex- husband and turned us onto this song I loved it,, have never forgot, let it go,, sence then,, long ago,, and every time I look it up,, really I think of tony marin first,, :) good man R.I.P. ,, and I thank him for taking the time, to let us white people,, in his life.. and likes us to.. come over often back in the day,, !!

[waytwosmooth]

<3 <3 <3 MR Wendell has tried to warn us aboot our ways but we dont here him talk - is it his fault that weve gon to far and we got to far because of him we walked.

[101elton101]

waahahaaaaaaaaaaaaha! one of the best intros a song can get

[rogerrrubin]

You guys (Arrested Development) are great. I have had the CD since it was released, but really appreciate this visual interpretation Thanks to, uh, boynamedfuture for the great notes--maybe you could edit in the lyrics which enhance the video by at least X100...pax from San Francisco.

[toofine9]

the 1st guy the main needs to brush his nasty teeth at the bottom..u can see all the plaque build up..Mr tooth brush oh no..lord mr tooth brush

[natureboyinyourface]

life can beat you up,down & sideways.

[gravitywheel]

Why does the beginning sound all super compressed? Glad the song doesn't sound like that. Thumbs up!

[dlomane1965]

...."He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes

and think blacks spend all that money on big colleges

still most of yall come out confused.

Go head Mr. Wendal."

[phil234561]

here, have a dollar, infaked na bother man have 2 :)

[akrlnr]

@phil234561 my favorite line, but it's "infact"

[Golds2raw]

One of the best tracks ever right here...

[canigggia]

respect!!!!

[oztwicker]

gold



[BiteYoStyle79]

love goes from Bucktown,NY to Atlanta.Respect Dev!

[doubletrouble469]

awesome, old rap. classic



[Hashpotato]

why is it u only get to hear decent music on the radio late at night?

[Simma7]

Thumbs up American Dad DIDN'T bring you here.

[1Pantikian]

@Simma7 american dad had this song in it?

[black4pienus]

@Simma7 I didn't even know that it was on american dad... I was addicted to this song when it came out! yeah I know... I'm old. lol!

[Niika6666]

i like how rap from the 90s had a message to HELP people and raised self-awareness as well as teaching black folks how to embrace their roots, unlike the rap now that glorifies murder, rape, theft, illegitimate children, and neglecting your responsibilites. it's no surprise that crime is on the rise once again compared to back then...

[mampala81]

THEY WILL ALWAYS BE TO ME THE TRUE AFRICAN AMERICAN RASTAFARIANS!!!!!! JAH BLESS!!!!

[jennflor]

ohh yeah very interesting this band

[Yusef100]

is this a tina turner vocal sample?

[JJC3689]

Man I remember this song....I always thought it was called "Mr. Window" lol My Kindergarden teacher used to play this for us all the time...man this brings back memories...growing up as a kid

[azzbot]

The Black Eyed Peas of the early 90's???

[zolli21]

@azzbot DAMN! I never thought of it like that! Could be....

[BraggartTheBlagard]

@azzbot Nah, see, Arrested Development actually had talent.

[Nintendofan2012]

I REALLY love this song,cannot get enough of it!

[mondiablue]

Where's the top comment that says they wish music were still like this and not about drinking at the club?

[MegaArrowZ]

ironic that i hated this song when i was a kid and then i became homeless later

[MudCow33]

What ever Brady, that guitar in blues happy is dope, feel da spirit brothers!

[beteck123]

How I wsih i was or could be Mr Wendal - Human in flesh but not by law and that my only worries were sickness and occasional police harrasement

[MrPoundah]

@beteck123 dayem rite!

[Anglynn74]

early to mid 90s, when it didn't matter what kind of music genre it was everyone could get into it, grunge, rap, rock, etc everyone was getting into it :)

[katrus]

As a kid, I always used to think the name of this song was Mr. Window. Maybe because of where Speech was sitting?

[krakendude2]

I never knew "BUMBS MAKE ME QUESTION SOCIETY" would make such an awesome song. Whoever Mr. Wendal is, I wanna meet him.

[MJBelovedLegacy]

Gonna be in Courtenay tonight....OLD SCHOOL IN THE HOUSE! <3

[34ballers]

damm it's been so long sice i heard this!

[SHITTYmaKITTY]

4:17

[madphilgreenballs]

AD were great and I love Speech. Beyond cool.

[bigjc87]

How can you dislike this song?!

[daddykinggutta]

I'm 23 and this and Disney World just makes me relive thru the kid in me!

[kamilPmazur]

There is only a 1.43 hater percentage on this. They don't know the wonderful messages Mr. Wendal has to bring... ^_^

[efiwaydiL]

40 don't wanna hear mr Wendal warning

[diannamariessa]

[domperry01]

[jseme2]

[headoyster]

[1boringkid]

[brandy140391]

Here save 46 seconds of your life 00:46

[robertwillmer]

@brandy140391 The beginning is just as important.

[uncleruckus21]

Hey does anyone else remember when Hip Hop and Rap were about Political change and not shooting cops, beating up girls, stealing and doing drugs...me too that's what brought me here thanks for posting it STILL as good now as it was almost 20 years ago,.

[trentigalaxy]

the last time i heard the use of the word "brutha" and it really meant something!!

[TheGapsterPool]

Jesus christ I remember this song from years ago...

[BigThier96]

go 'head Mr Wendal

[PristineSneakers]

*abuses the replay button*

God I miss this.

[soundseeker63]

The guy at the start of this video looks so much like Nick Cannon, I thought it was him for a moment, then realised he would have been 12 when this was shot!

[xRoBoLoGYx]

One of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion. <3

[manbagman1]

CRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!!

[shewriteable]

Mr.Wendaaaaaal Yeaaah ! ♥

[YOUNGCOE]

[skincoloraintathing]

This song is the shit... I used to listen to it over and over. Just something about it made you wanna be mellow and sing Mr. Wendal... I love this jam!

[ColdInMinneapolis]

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song in the last two days...I'm a little annoyed it hasn't been a part of my life for much longer

[amickjaggertribute]

Haha, this song makes me smile. Nice message, easy listening.

[TheLucaScorpion]

Thumbs up if you know all the words from this awesome song! ;P

[xsavedkt]

Mr. Window!!!!! ;)

[Niech37]

[kadrock]

[kadrock]

i saw 35 dislikes on this song, how is it even possible to not love this song?

[canadia7x]

I hated rap with a passion. I hated those kids at school who listened to that garbage, but one day, a fellow YouTuber introduced me to the real, soulful stuff. I finally understand that there really is good rap out there. Great song!

[leoinayam]

is dis rap?



[rwalter23]

@leoinayam yes dis iz roooood boi!

[jbrown677]

this is good music

[rwalter23]

@jbrown677 This is damn good music......

[jsyjay]

Guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be!

[okayduey]

@jsyjay AMEN BROTHA.

[TAJ3I]

There's Nothing Better Than To Discover Some Great Music Like This One.

[realearl13]

@embryofunk "Rich ass white folk", read "AOL TimeWarner, Interscope, every other label that only allows certain music (gangsta music at the time) to be promoted and marketed"

ever hear of A&Rs? Ever hear of any black A&Rs??

[Rhed009]

0:46 To skip the bullshit click.

[melovernotafighter23]

I would have never heard this song if it wasn't for 100.5 gen X radio. I'm so glad I did.
