What I get from this video... the young black child naively shooting the gun and having the bullet ricochet off of the sides of the pool and strike and kill him. This symbolizes the young black youth hurting and damaging themselves without knowing any better. The J dilla saved my life t-shirt shows exactly what it intends which is the power of music and positivity that can teach and give you an outlet for channeling positive creative energy instead of succumbing to the poisonous distractions in your environment. And the brother dancing after his death.... his spirit was free and rejoicing to the true beauty and peace he could finally see and realize. His spirit even had enough love forgiveness and understanding to get into the car of the people who shot him. The ghetto is a mind set. In reality it's just a place to live. Human behavior dictates what your environment is. You can live in poverty but live respecting ,protecting and loving the people who share the same environment with you. Doing this will make you turn your GHETTO into a COMMUNITY.
komjong Outstanding! Beautiful interpretation.
Droobis thank you!
***** Thank you. But that idea can be put into action one person at a time. First and foremost it starts with you. The page has to be turned because we can't continue to live the way we have.
komjong Realest comment i've seen on youtube ever.
Joseph Barnes thank you
I think Flylo has the best interpretation of death than any other artist
psychedelics is life and death in one trip. especially shrooms. you can tell he has done his share with his music
Coronus the terminator steps it up a notch.
If you dont have Jesus Christ blood on your heart we face judgment in next life God bless
He makes something that is very evil strangely beautiful.
@@1000yearz death is natural, not evil
This music video should be in an art gallery, too dope
It is! In my town in Maastricht, the Netherlands. There is a whole art exhibition of him and his videos!
You saw this coming...it's showing at our art museum in a Kahlil Joseph exhibition at the CAC in Cincinnati!
Right now it's in on MASP, São Paulo/Brazil Museum.
This song mixed with the video hits you in the soul. Hard.
@@pvca Wow... That's great!
his dancing makes me teary
same
Truly Touching
Same 2
I tried it but my azz just too fat.
Makes All of us ❤️
Who's watching this again in 2022? It's still one of the most beautiful short films I've ever seen...
The most. The absolute most.
The music is just a tip of the iceberg.....imagine the dance sequence to the beat .....as if we live in synchrony
Re-watched again 02 july
"J Dilla changed my life."
someone stopped me in the streets because I was wearing a "J Dilla Changed my Life" shirt and told me to watch this video... speechless...
Can confirm, was the shirt
That's how many levels this dudes operating on dude. Reached you thru a t shirt loool
Ain't cher friend. ✌
Hey nevermind my ✌ comment.
the part when he gets up and gets in the car, to me, it's as if he's descending from his body. it's his spirit. nobody recognizes him as he walks away, he gets in the vehicle with Flylo and drives away to the afterlife. it's my favorite part of this short film, gives me goosebumps every time. thank you Flylo and Khalil Joseph.
That's what I got out of it. He left his body in a graceful way to his waiting ride to heaven.
This is what I always thought. Him getting up and dancing towards the car is his spirit leaving his body.
meth is a wild experience
My god, i felt the same way
This song evokes every emotion I have ever felt throughout my existence.
I'm literally in tears as I think about the beauty of the symbolism here. It took years to set in, but it definitely has. Thank you FlyLo and all others involved
what do you see
A lot of Native American and different cultures believe that instead of some mournful event of the body and the spirit separating with death and sadness, the spirit happily dances into the after life. It's called Spirit dance
Word
J Dilla AND Flying Lotus saved my life.
Changed*. Lol. My bad.
Shit. Both.
haha, that j dilla changed my life shirt is so true. anybody who could feel his music would agree. Rest in peace brother.
For me, Flying Lotus is the inheritor of the creative genius of his great uncle (John Coltrane). This is truly a piece of art not only open to interpretation but it tells a story of the inherent problematic elements of the "hood" with a level of honesty and authenticity that is missing tremendously in music today. I am honored to bear witness to this artist for keeping the flame of Hip Hop alive. Peace.
And his blood relative Alice! Thats how him and John are linked. And she's a great pianist and harpist!!
He has his talent and it’s no wonder why his music is amazing.
Its 2019 and still one of the dopest videos ive seen.
the fucking love i have for this video....its just art
This really captures both the tragedy of death as well as the freedom that it provides from this Earthly realm as the deceased soon move on to a more beautiful and spectacular place.
when music and images become a poem ... yes
My grandma passed away Wednesday, this video spoke volumes when I first saw it but now it speaks to me for an eternity.
Sorry for your loss
what i think the meaning of this video is is as he dances around after being shot he touches and moves by many people. Moves by people because he moved alot of people within his lifespan. earlier in the video it shows him being kind to some younger kids, Making a difference in his community, the car he gets in at the end is the car going to heaven, and then the world unfortunate resumes as if nothing happend once he is gone.
The whole time he is dancing, thats him transcending from body to spiritual. So much art in Flying Lotus' music and also Khalil
I think it was one of those 'filmed in reverse' effects. He got shot for dancing like that.
I agree, but I think there is also the possibility that this is representing how narrowly some people escape the ghetto. What ever it is, its beautiful.
+Hi High thats also why they showed him underwater, to symbolize re-birth.
@@InusHerbst absolutely howling at your point of view! I was so moved and crying at the video & now the tears have turned into tears of laughter 🥲😂
It's interesting watching this video now in 2016, since the video for "Never Catch Me" has come out, which depicts children transitioning from life to death with dance. It's fascinating that FlyLo seems to enjoy depicting something so painful, scary, and inevitable as death, and make it seem like something peaceful and beautiful.
cfgoodygoody Yeah...
cfgoodygoody
its reality dumbass. I highly doubt he "enjoys" it
@@evilgenius151 I sincerely hope you're still not a dick head 2 years later my friend.
Actually, its the other way around. The children were finally ALIVE, hence the free dance/movement/abilities.
The 'Never Catch Me' album's title even says it. 'You're Dead'
THIS 'world' is the land of the 'dead.' The 'underworld.' We are no where near alive/free here.
Anyone who reads this and doesnt understand, dont bother with arguing, just ignore it. > U NEVER READ THIS...we now return u to ur regularly scheduled programming.
And any human who thinks that they are 'free'/'alive' here, has a grand & wonderful surprise in store for them.
So, no need to worry, it gets better, not worse. 💜
It is peaceful on the other side.
It's his soul releasing all emotions and what's left of life at once, like a burst of energy and he's translating it into physical form (dance) so we can understand it better. All that transpiring while he's passing from the conscious world to whatever comes next. At least that's what I feel is happening in that death scene. Pure art/genius
greatest video I've ever seen in my life.
In Nickerson Gardens there is a wall called " The Wall " with the names of nearly hundreds of people written on it. The wall was dedicated to victims of gun violence but then extended to include other people in the community who lost their lives. At 2:47 , whether its intentional or not, when he passes all the people leaning against the wall its like the man is finally getting to greet fellow residents of Nickerson Gardens who have passed away.
One small detail I really appreciate, is that the dancer's eyes are closed throughout the whole video. Emphasizing his death.
I keep watching this over and over- the emotions it elicits are overwhelming. Flying Lotus always works with amazing artists. No matter how old the videos are they are always poignant.
1:55 my favorite part. I literally learned that dudes dance 😂
All I've learned from this is that Flying Lotus is the Grim Reaper.
Haha but seriously this video is beautiful.
How nice would it be though, if it was FlyLo picking you up in that ride when it was time to check out?
Bruh imagine how hard it was keeping a straight face when he started dancing
Lmao!!!!!!! Yesssss. These nigga's are the Real MVP.
He yeah
That was pretty dope too but I bet they had to do takes
stanley oleyte probably
Yeah, A lot of them were looking away from him- which I think aligns with the story- he disrobed and was a spirit they couldn't see. getting to look away would have helped me keep a straight face for sure!
when he brushes against the kids by the wall, I believe that symbolizes that death is always closer than you think.
This short film deserves A LOT of awards!
So… is anyone talking about how that finger picking guitar that happens before the beat drops is a composition by Johnny Greenwood from the score he did for the film Norwegian Wood? I just fucking realized that! Pretty much a dream come true to hear music by Johnny Greenwood on the same track as music by Flying Lotus
that’s really sick! thank you for sharing
Astonishing Art. If this leaves you cold, you're dead already.
FLYING LOTUS CHANGED MY LIFE
Amazing dance at 2:00! It's like his spirit is undergoing excruciating pain but at the same time celebrating death, because death means liberation, and brings about a new space-time continuum, a new life.
i cant believe i watched this with tears in my eyes....... this is art - well done.
Man its been tooooooo long since Ive been on that FLY-LO ish. Damn it feels good to be back
Same here!
Literally gave me a new outlook on life. When we die, we dance away to the music we love, into the light. We are music.
you deserve a sub for that
Amazing. No sarcasm
Capt Murphy Thank you, I appreciate it :D
pierre doucet Thanks! the music / video are equally beautiful and compliment eachother nicely.
That's beautiful man.
So stunning, I cried.
WOW...have you ever just felt a huge amount of emotion surge through you in a momentary experience? Cause thats exactly what just happened to me. One the best presentations ive ever seen.
When I heard the hidden sample in the music - which was a tribute to J Dilla btw - I couldn't take it anymore and dropped a tear*. The word 'masterpiece' has been abused so terribly much over the years, but honestly, this is like the first or maybe second time I feel like I could safely call something that. This production here is indeed a masterpiece.
Emotionally, it is so packed, it could have an impact on how you live through the rest of your day.
___
*not ashamed.
This entire macabre piece is astounding real and beautiful.
2 weeks ago a young black kid was shot and killed literally down my street..now this video carries even more meaning for me. Such a shame...we live in one fucked up world..
I remember when this girl I was seeing showed me this..thought it was pretty interesting and I knew the melody from somewhere but couldn't place it at the time(GTAV)...anyway, she was the one that got away so the video will always carry meaning to me...this is a beautiful piece of art and she had amazing taste..
Poetry in motion. This was so dope. It kinda has the underlying message of being in the hood or ghetto and having to portray a certain image or false perspective of culture when really most under privlaged people are the most talented and smart individuals.
Film by Khalil Joseph. He has a Kendrick Lamar short film at MOCA until the end of August. Can't wait to see it!
BC VC Hey, do you know any details about the Kendrick film?

Thank you mate
I've never commented on any videos but this song/video changed my life. I find myself watching it over and over again.
Sounds like erykah badu in the beginning as the majestic lady, It sounds beautiful💜🎶
It is her.
Fiiijiiix 7 yes Erika killed it
1:18 Rest in Peace Dilla
still fire.This choreography is amazing. I would watch more stories told in this manner.
No se porqué pero me recuerda y me hace sentir tanto a lo que sentía cuando vivía en Bogotá. Ya conocía a Flying Lotus en ese entonces pero después de volver a Madrid descubrí esto y aahhh era cerrar los ojos y caminar por aquellas calles y parques, respirar ese aire y ver esas montañas, aún me sigue pasando. Volveré a ese lugar, me pondré los cascos y daré al play a esta canción, se que la satisfacción que sentiré será como el abrazo de aquella vez...
The 4 moments of the Sun in Kongo cosmology...The soul awakening to the realization of the body's death and dancing away into the afterlife via the caddy....This was brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous. The dancer has brought EVERY Ernie Barnes painting to life in a few seconds. ❤️ Just brilliant.
This video makes me so damn proud about loving Hip-Hop. I honestly wish I can show this to the whole world, and let the world know that Hip-hop has a beautiful side to it.
God, this is so beautiful. I just can not stop crying when I am watching it. The music, the visuals, all fit so perfectly together. Flying Lotus and his team are truly artists.
Shit still brings a tear to my eye this day
Jeez 10 years ago
Although it went under the radar, this album changed my life.
All love!
The dance he does at 2:36 is so fucking cool. Its honestly my favorite part of this video
this is art!
you are a piece of art my friend..... ;)
jermaine davis Thank you, you are kind*** :)
Badu weaved the healing sound again
The dancing!!! I never pay attention to dancing but that guy was the best i've ever seen! Damn!!
My personal interpretation: the boy in the beginning lives by the gun, dies by the gun. The reason is because he idolizes/symbolizes the man with the J Dilla shirt. The boy also represents the misguided black youth without parental supervision out in the streets. The man with the J Dilla shirt is also killed, but his spirit lives on. His spirit continues to dance, unobserved by the witnesses and into the red vehicle, which takes him to his next destination: Heaven or Hell? Compare the contrast of this setting (dark/night) and the man to the setting of the two kids (bright/day) in Never Catch Me. You decide!
Interesting interpretation
Personally, While I agree that the boy lives and dies by the gun, and idolizes the man in the J Dilla shirt, I do believe that "J Dilla man" is actually a good guy, and is being a positive impact on the kids. His death represents the death to the idea that these kids even have a glimmer of hope in leaving, that nothing good can survive the streets. His dance off seems positive, and I think it represents his drive to heaven for the good he has done
Edit: Also, saying that Dilla was a huge inspiration to Flylo, and may have been a guide to help get HIM off the street, the man could represent of a version of how Dilla guided Flylo out of the streets
+Max Bucksbaum that's also a dope interpretation. It's like no good can exist in the ghetto without getting caught up in gunfire. The good die young!
This was beautifully composed and executed. I was transformed and immersed into every scene. A big fat ass yes to all of this. Respect Kahlil Joseph and your entire cast and crew.
you nailed it right!
this is his soul leaving in a beautiful manner while the ppl are wrapped in the death itself, it was made to at first appear as if it was in reverse, but thats just showing the freshness of the direction. this is a thing that keeps touching me, its like his soul is rejoicing and the dance itself is otherworldly because its representing something from the other side.
That super iconic scene at 1:28! The kids racing across the field beneath that violet-crimson sunset, the lights turning on, the music getting somewhat suspenseful and tense while simultaneously keeping an easy, calm flow... I love what FlyLo does with the strings in this version of Hunger. Hell, I think I like it better than the original.
Kahlil Joseph is a stunning director, and the video fits the music perfectly. Chills.
Probably one of the most poetic yet relevant short I've seen in years. Well crafted, we'll written... Amazing work.
still sends chills down my spine
First time I heard this it felt like I understood everything in the universe so much that I cried that same knowledge.
Messed around and watched this trippin on shrooms......this is EASILY one of the deepest videos I've seen so far! FlyLo is king man!! Coronus, the Terminator video is no joke either.
Beautiful video almost cried watching it
me too
Check out the director's other videos his name is Khalil Joseph. He did one for FKA twigs and right now has a Kendrick Lamar short film playing at MOCA in L.A.
Love the low rider scrapping the ground.
flylo will never disappoint. his artistry is something unmatched; along with his producing.
This just gives me goosebumps
2019 & I’m still watching this beautiful video
I always come back and watch this
The spiritual imagery from this perspective is replicative of existence as a whole. Quite moving.
I just couldn’t stop thinking about this song in these days
Legit crying. Beautiful video. Beautiful song
I have never seen anything like this before ever in my life. And I think that's what's important. wow.
Breathtaking! This piece presses out of me a hunger for more. I am in awe of the exceptional and beautiful artistry that fills this and many Flying Lotus vids.
The epitamy of releasing your feelings and thoughts into art... Absolutely amazing cuzzo... Please keep it coming.
Until the Quit
Flying Lotus, ***** and !!! (Chk Chk Chk) are all performing at the first ever The Hudson Project in July.

Alex Jefferson he goes by Storyboard P and yeah, incredible moves on that guy.
ɷɷɷ I Haveee Watched Thiss Moviee Leakeddd Version Hereee : - t.co/NdLgwVlw7a
Niki Randa's vocals are the best.
Storyboard P's dancing is beyond beautiful in this video.
Absolutely outstanding.
I remember listening/watching this when it first came out at a time when I felt so heartbroken hopeless unexpressive so contained and on the verge of self destructing.. I'm still here
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen
This is exactly how you wanna dance while listening to flying lotus trust me
+toochillforeal This guy gets it. LSD FTW
+Psythik you don't need lsd to feel this music bro
+Malik Stephens truth
bruh......you just spoke my feelings
+Malik Stephens Yeah well you don't need running shoes to run either, but it sure as hell helps.
I remember watching this shit 3 years ago and this video blew my mind. It still blows my mind to this day.
Riding off into the great beyond in an ass-scrapin' impala with Fly-Lo riding shotgun. Can't get much better, y'all.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Flylo chilling in the car made this video all the more epic
From what i see Its showing the spirit gracefully dancing towards the afterlife escaping the discrimination.
I got the chills the first time I saw this... makes me think about all the people getting their life snatched away by unessessary violence. There's got to be a better place than this and he's going to it.
Flylo changed my life. I’m about to end it here, but if you ever read this… just know flying lotus shaped my entire teenage-hood. This will play at my funeral
hey there… i just wanted to check in on you. are you okay? please be with us still. get back to me… you’re not alone
Glad to see everyone's starting to see Storyboard P.
I cannot help myself I have goose bumbs... more I see this ...I have tears in my eyes
Wow fucking amazing, after looking at this on psychedelics. They really focus on red. Per say the lens flare, the blood, the man in the hoodie, the innocent child wearing red. This guy is a genious, even though it probably wasnt his intentions, his brain is programmed like that. This is why I love psychedelics.
Much respect to the Lotus.
Did you also notice the children running after the red sunset? Did you also notice that the guy whos's dead (in video) his gf is also wearing a red shirt and her hair is red? There is more to what it seems here.
absolutely sublime. fills my heart with love and nostalgia for a neglected culture I was always kept away from.
What a masterpiece of a music video!
Siiiiiiiiiiick.friggin pool to skate.
