This man completely swayed away from this sound when this is what would of made him a superstar. This shit sound so classic and organic it never gets old
@@TheMarsupialCow one month later but dont think its just normal pop music, this got some house references like sampling inner city good life, mensa is from chicago where house como from, this is just rap house but well done tho
pj senga I dont believe in his music about politics hes just fake to me..he needs to keep making music like this instead of trying to be socially conscious. Its not working or believable. Its not even successful.
Trevor Reis it fits perfectly if you think about it, you'll always be down on your luck and things will not always go your way no matter how bad you desire to change the outcome
Not only does your comment not make sense (unless you change decide to desire) but I never said the video didn't fit the lyrics. I said there wasn't much substance to the lyrics.
played this song at a friends house in miami and everyone was like "wtf is this" and asked me to change it, it amazes me how people can listen to this song and dislike it, I honestly had no desire to hang out with these people after they said this
Your in Miami and play this? I would've kicked you out too, this is a nice song but people want to hear bangers in a place like Miami some turnup music which nothing is wrong with that
nah. Vic was basically a prophet on Innanetape. He sold out, and got exposed when he released his new mixtape that he was not the creative genius we thought he was. Sad. thought he was gonna be one of the greats.
Derek Watson well I'm going to have to beg to differ, the only songs that are really mainstream to the point where I'd say he sold out are Liquor Locker and New Bae, now if you think because his new tape doesnt sound like Innanetape then I can see where you are coming from but at the same time he's still rapping and giving us what we want, tbh he's improved a lot since Innanetape not to mention I believe he said he's releasing more music this year
Right smh that's what I've been saying.....Innanetape Vic was literally in the same vein as Chance. He was independent in rap caliber, making music, etc--LITERALLY the onlly rapper who could ride in the same lane as Chance but be different. He can still redeem himself because TALGO wasn't bad but smh
this is the first Vic Mensa song i have heard and im fucking feeling it. The old school sample plus the 80s vibe of the video plus the groundhog day concept. this is mad vibin with me right now
***** there was house music in the 80. Most of the house music that i listen to came out in the 80's (and early 90's), so thats why i said 80's influences.
***** I was talking about your comment towards Yeezus. I know this aint what hip-hop traditionally sounds like, but that's what I like about it, its not the same old shit
***** he didn't say it was hip hop he said rappers are trying new things which is right its dope because it isn't always gritty hard core it's just kindle real shit of an average night and what he could've wish has gone his way
I found this song like 4 or 5 years ago... I had hippie pot head neighbors downstairs and I used to shazam music from them by putting my phone on the floor Haha this is one of my favorite finds from them.
You always have interesting videos man, this was great and it actually made sense along with the lyrics which unfortunately a lot of artist fail to accomplish these days. Bravo Vic! Love your shit man!
@@gabrielonibudo5710 Well, He wasn't doing good for a bit. But I decided to take a listen to V-Tape and I think it was really good. The best he's done in a while.
+Tanooki Topher he said it was popular but not in a rap genre, that's why he's not going to make a song like this, kinda sucks I really like him on this type of music, his new albums is completely different
I low-key wish it was just him and sia. I loooovvvveee Kanye. But its not like he is producing anything anymore. He's just like Rihanna now, in that he commissions tons of people to send him tons and tons of demos.
solarge knowles he still produces dude he finalizes everything and he wrote four five seconds. kanye has ALWAYS used a large team, thats who DONDA is his creative team
solarge knowles The heck are you on about? His last 3 solo albums are very much so all him. Just cus he has a large creative team to help him doesn't mean they are the ones who made the songs. It's similiar to how a composer or a film director has a large group of people utilizing their resources to help fulfill their vision.
It seems like core fans of any artist are always insecure about their place in the fan base, like being first in line and chastising everyone that got in line after them. Why cant we just come together and appreciate the music? Why tear each other down? Idk. But i cant get too mad, ive caught myself feeling the same way before.
It's true. God forbid you become a fan of a song through games, commercials, or movies. You get chastised for being late. Da fuq, just be glad that a favorite artists of yours is attracting new crowds and fans. I follow a lot of time underground rappers and the comments always baffle me.
Primophobic Totally get it, and agree with you. But I think I know why. This song is dope as shit. And it's because he had great producers behind him, and experience. I remember songs like Darlin', from kids these days, when he had neither, and I loved it. Nobody told me to find him - I found him, and I stuck my neck out, and showed him to friends. Vic's made it. I'm happy. He deserves it. But those of us who were there from the start - We're part of why he made it. We were special. And now we're less special - We're just more fans. We're scared, because we feel less important. And that's bullshit. I was a fan of Vic before. I'm a fan of Vic now. I showed him to friends. I don't get to be mad at my friends because they liked it haha. Let's all shut up and enjoy the music :P. I didn't write it. They did.
God he could've been sooo huge and innovative, but I think he struggles from depression and identity issues. You can hear in his interviews. Surrounded by leeches, i think. Maybe got jelly of Chance a bit. From could be most influential to most L's in a year.
Vic is gonna really blow up Globally, The sound that he is coming with no other rapper is doing, Vic is a true music artist that is creating a whole new lane for Hip Hop coming out of the U.S. and not to mention how creative and well played out the video was . I would have never though i would like a song that had House or GoGo sound to it, But he just opened my ears up to a whole new genre, Creativity is endless, We need more Creators in this world.
This was a gem and deserved way more recognition. I wanna see Vic do more of this hip house like GoldLink and Azealia Banks but his new style lit also.
BASICALLY WHEN YOU ARE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK U WILL SEE WHO YOUR TRUE TRUE FRIENDS ARE WHEN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCE SHOWS ONESELF. FACTS. VIC MENSA I KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. BIG BIG LOVE . AND NUFF NUFF RESPECT.
Still randomly coming back to this song. It’s so nostalgic. This and Orange soda brings me back to a certain time in my life when I was so carefree. Really fun times.
Please don't be one of those people that hate on others because they appreciate an artist's craft and become new fans, sick of people like you commenting of every video. I had never heard of this dude at all until Kanye featured him and now I looked him up and I like his music. Now what do you want me to do? Unlike him because it'll make you feel better somehow?
Solarge knows what's up. I ain't hating, I'm super proud of dude because he deserves it. I'm just saying fans of Vic are real. Old fans and new fans alike Jose Elias Plasencia
What an awesome video! A big congratulations to Vice Mensa as we've made this is a VEVO UK MUST SEE so we'll be spreading the word about "Down On My Luck" far and wide :-)
i can hear this poppin off in the UK STRONG, this house shit is our shit so if disclosure hear this im sure a collab would happen, they rate diverse rappers highly. especially if you toured with them haha.
i hate when people come here and all they can do is talk about chance and other artists instead of appreciating the creativity released through out this video
Over 8 years ago this came out and today people are defending the Drake album like he’s doing something revolutionary lmao. He didn’t even attempt anything vocally dynamic like this for a guy who can apparently do it all.
i barely heard this song a couple days ago and will say this is by far the best song i have ever heard in my life.. The Beat, The lyrics, the video all match up 100% their isnt a point where im like wtf is going on good somg here cant stop listening to it
Omg. I heard a glimpse of this song on vevo for like a few seconds when i was younger. Over the years I randomly tried searching it. A tiktok of vic mensa wildin out brought me here. I love this song.
EMto thefknRE I've heard Vic spazz on a couple tracks like tweakin and time is money he has that very hectic flow sound I think it would be a good collab. I just wanna know why Gold link hasn't dropped something besides the God Complex
God I love this man's versatility . He gels so well on any beat & still delivers. How many artist can do a song like Feel That , then turn around and kill a House music beat ?! (:
Vanessa Shantae because shit doesnt go right for him so he keeps trying to get it right lol. like when the girl threw up on him it was his gf so when he got the text from her instead of replying to it he ignored it cuz when he said he was at the club she went there and there up on him so he just didnt reply the second time around :)
If you ever saw Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, it basically has that same concept as those movies. With less deaths (and more repeats.)
Not only is this music video high-concept and engaging, but the beat is ❤🔥and the vibe is exactly what I need for my special playlist. U rock @Vic Mensa!!
I know we all love and miss this Vic and the creativity and we hate he went away from it, but V Tape is a step in the right direction. Y’all give it a chance and I think you’ll like it. Let’s allow him room to grow as an artist
@@mcsniffabitch7828 he’s been making music with Chance again and they’re both diving deep creatively. Seems like they’re trying to get back to their roots.
@@robbieb6623 I hope so cause this vic mensa holds a special place in my heart I don't even like listening to this song cause it brings back to many good memories
This man completely swayed away from this sound when this is what would of made him a superstar. This shit sound so classic and organic it never gets old
thanks for clearing up the confusion
And Kid Cudi is slowly but surely turning into him.
Crossdressing and doing all kinds of shit.
LITERALLY
This music would work so much right now.. but he made himself hated
lmao not true at all vic was popping way before this song
I want this Vic back
This song was ahead of it's time of combiningg hip hop and electronic/house but this one is executed a lot better than most
Truman bro this is just normal pop music
@@TheMarsupialCow one month later but dont think its just normal pop music, this got some house references like sampling inner city good life, mensa is from chicago where house como from, this is just rap house but well done tho
azealia banks has been doing it way before this and better. but this is still pretty good.
@@zay4643 yes, songs like the big beat or 1991 i think, sad things that nowadays she dont drop nothing
Truman Facts 100%
The epitome of "what could've been".......STILL the best house song by a rapper!!!!
Kaytranada has the best hip hop house in the game
@Novice Sprinter she's not a rapper but the connection is there
One of the most slept on songs in the 2010's
You spelled gay wrong
GasnGo lmaoooo
For good reason too
Wish he stayed in this lane of rap electronic/dance fusion. He would of really carved out a unique patch in the music landscape.
Fr could’ve been on the charts
he’d be the male azaelia banks but they both threw away their hype (granted for pretty different reasons)
He probably wouldv'e been a bigger superstar.
7 years old yet still has that fresh, new feel to it
Forreal bro smh
He needs to make something like this again
Rushdi Valentine I agree
100%
I was just coming on here to say that. He needs to go back to this instead of his fake deep movement.
DeAnna Mckinney how is he fake deep?
pj senga I dont believe in his music about politics hes just fake to me..he needs to keep making music like this instead of trying to be socially conscious. Its not working or believable. Its not even successful.
This song is perfect as a background song in a racing game while you are customizing your car.
Fr lol
So true!!! Or a football game where you're choosing your team…
😂😂😂😂
It really works well when you're stirring a nice hollandaise sauce on the stove.
+Sarah Allen no
This should’ve been the biggest radio hit of the year man
im mad i slept on this video for so many years. this shit was tight.

aw shit, how'd I triplet that comment?
9 years later and this still hits just like the first time i heard it ✨ real music
Agreed!
Facts my boi!
3AM at work and this popped in my head. So glad it did
@@MrKuritsukap😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Man I used to bump this song all the time but Vic fell off unfortunately
The concept of this video and the track itself is so brilliant one of the few music videos that's timeless
agree with u
.
Agreed. Check out "Craig David - 7 Days" ... similar temporal loop concept from back in the day. Love these types of videos.
Ayahuasca Jones Vic it timeless
Agreed
Video Concept= Genius
It's a shame the song doesn't have more substance.
Because the video is fantastic and the beat is mad nostalgic.
Trevor Reis it fits perfectly if you think about it, you'll always be down on your luck and things will not always go your way no matter how bad you desire to change the outcome
Song does have substance lol
Not only does your comment not make sense (unless you change decide to desire) but I never said the video didn't fit the lyrics. I said there wasn't much substance to the lyrics.
Trevor Reis i mean i looked at the lyrics sheets and there's not much you can can do it's goes hook bridge verse 1 hook then back to bridge again.
played this song at a friends house in miami and everyone was like "wtf is this" and asked me to change it, it amazes me how people can listen to this song and dislike it, I honestly had no desire to hang out with these people after they said this
Kauai Paradise exactly, but some people really like that stuff and think its good music. what a fucked up world
I agree with u about him being better than tyga but i dont think hes better than migos but we all have our opinions like me
Not down with it. Sorry bro. Hope you don't dislike me now 😯
Dis shit sucks ass
Your in Miami and play this? I would've kicked you out too, this is a nice song but people want to hear bangers in a place like Miami some turnup music which nothing is wrong with that
Vic really had something here. And he decided to go way left.
funny thing is he changed up his style but he still sounds good. Unfortunately, if he stuck with this type of sound he would have exploded.
Waaaaaaay Left.
No now he makes music true to himself and it's way better. You never understood him if you think he went way left lmao
Yup this the music that get you the wypipo fan base. 😂 That’s where the real money at. B.O.B was on the same ish.

I was bumping his new album recently and thought I should revisit this classic
I didn't the same thing. It's crazy how much he's progressed.
Dominick Golden frfr his new album is insane but innanetape still resonates with my soul
nah. Vic was basically a prophet on Innanetape. He sold out, and got exposed when he released his new mixtape that he was not the creative genius we thought he was. Sad. thought he was gonna be one of the greats.

Vic come back to this genre man 😢
1:01 - when the, "doooooown on my luck," kicks in with Vic Mensa losing consciousness is just a beautiful scene
2024 and his flow on hip hop/electronic is still unmatched.
Had to come back here after that "3 year sober" video. The evolution...and idk if its the good kind
Same here bro 😂😂
lol facts
on god
It’s not a good evolution at all tbh
Lmfao. He’s just a confuse artist tho

I doubt it. It's been more than 2 years. It definitely deserved more recognition and to be a bigger hit. Bummer.
+Tanooki Topher but people are knowing about Vic more especially from all the attention he's getting. Album and such
+ApeXPubz true. I'd be very happy if I heard this all over the radio!! We'll just have to see.

seriously. One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Definitely an ingenious concept
This guys part on Kanye's Wolves is legit fucking beautiful. It kinda made me cry. Beautiful voice.
I low-key wish it was just him and sia.
I loooovvvveee Kanye. But its not like he is producing anything anymore. He's just like Rihanna now, in that he commissions tons of people to send him tons and tons of demos.

Still one of the best songs, Vic.. find yourself brotha
Doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 years. I was obsessed with this song when it first dropped. Side note Young Vic Mensa reminds me of Diggy Simmons
Pause at 2:25, I knew Capital Steez wasn't dead! Good song Vic.
Obviously. Long Living.
Whew! Good find bro. Steez forever.
Yea it would Tyler Brennan

Yeah this vic needs to come back tbh
This was my favorite song when I was 16. Vic will always be in my top 10. Love that dude.

you should watch the video for sweatpants by childish gambino. similar concept.

Me too...
pnoplyr14 is that the diner one?
SickestRap yup.
This song randomly plays in my head through the years 🤣
Still a Banger 🙌
What happened to this vic
He didn't know what he wanted to do in his career and waited too long
That’s crazy cuz this song is too smooth, he definitely squandered his time
God he could've been sooo huge and innovative, but I think he struggles from depression and identity issues. You can hear in his interviews. Surrounded by leeches, i think. Maybe got jelly of Chance a bit. From could be most influential to most L's in a year.
Typical Gemini's

I would have never though i would like a song that had House or GoGo sound to it, But he just opened my ears up to a whole new genre, Creativity is endless, We need more Creators in this world.
Not to mention his lyrical ability which people seem to overlook
Him, Chance The Rapper & Rockie Fresh
deedizeldafreak lmao rockie fresh is generic as fuck and chance got lucky his sound is not universally appealing to everyone
This didn’t age well
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I'm gonna download this just because I love this video. Lol.
Ken Esco Me too lol
Ken Esco hey guys, could u take a min and listen to my instrumental "Vibes" inspired by this song? thanks
don't even know what genre this would technically fall under. doesn't have to, still dope
Definitely has an old school house type of feel though.
Dwight Johnson Josh Barry Genre: U.K. Garage
ID Topman But this guy is from Chicago, the right genre is: House garage.
daniel baron Nice name for a style music
Exactly Daniel, this is good ol Chicago House!! UK Garage is just a derivative of House!
He would have blown up like crazy if he stayed with this sound! Just listen to all the artists today mixing electronic with hip-hop
this has a sports game soundtrack vibe...would be so sick on 2k or fifa
For me it's more like a racing game vibe, like when you're customizing your car or waiting in a lobby.
I don't know why, but i feel like it should be a song for a Call of Duty game trailer.
Nah, GTA V late night cruising on the freeway, on the way to complete a mission with Franklin
He needs to come out with another album strictly house music like this
This was a gem and deserved way more recognition. I wanna see Vic do more of this hip house like GoldLink and Azealia Banks but his new style lit also.
Vic Vic Vic...Love Love Love..... This...Tune Tune Tune.........
Vic you had it all. What happened man
eli carter i blame his attitude
He should’ve really pushed this song

Vic's about to blow up, he just got a feature on a Kanye song. But real ones already knew about him
Maybe now that he's got a powerful co-sign, this could be a crossover hit.
Please don't be one of those people that hate on others because they appreciate an artist's craft and become new fans, sick of people like you commenting of every video. I had never heard of this dude at all until Kanye featured him and now I looked him up and I like his music. Now what do you want me to do? Unlike him because it'll make you feel better somehow?
Not to be that person, but it's a great feeling when they do blow up but you've been following them since the beginning of their careers.

This song has grew on me a lot over the years, and I’m glad it has. It’s good to see Vic making good music again now though.
with Drake and Beyoncé’s new releases I was thinking about Vic today and how he had something here and a real niche for himself. i loved this song
This song might skyrocket him towards the mainstream. If it does, I hope he don't change his style
He may change just because when you grow as an artist that may happen
King Angel I mean change for the worst more so.
As long as he's trying to grow and branch out creatively as he changes, I'm cool with it.
Loooool

I remember first hearing this i thought Vic was the future! 🔥
This tune is a banger can't believe I've never heard it
1:02 - 1:16 I knew he was special when I heard the harmonization he did on that hook, it was executed to perfection.
i barely heard this song a couple days ago and will say this is by far the best song i have ever heard in my life.. The Beat, The lyrics, the video all match up 100% their isnt a point where im like wtf is going on good somg here cant stop listening to it
Omg. I heard a glimpse of this song on vevo for like a few seconds when i was younger. Over the years I randomly tried searching it. A tiktok of vic mensa wildin out brought me here. I love this song.
VIC BRO PLEASE GO BACK TO HOUSE CUZ YOU PERFECT FOR IT THIS IS TOP 3 ALL TIME FROM YOU!!!!
Miss this Vic.
The Orange Soda Vic.
The Hollywood Vic.
a remix with GoldLink would be hella dope.
Hell yeah Gold link is dope
I take it you disagree with us?
Kevin Powell that would be sick as fuck
Kevin Powell I think goldlink wouldn't fit in because he raps way more hectic than vic does
EMto thefknRE I've heard Vic spazz on a couple tracks like tweakin and time is money he has that very hectic flow sound I think it would be a good collab. I just wanna know why Gold link hasn't dropped something besides the God Complex
When Vic Mensa makes a selftitled album I'm sure he'll go to his roots.
God I love this man's versatility . He gels so well on any beat & still delivers. How many artist can do a song like Feel That , then turn around and kill a House music beat ?! (:
Never forget seeing this video In highschool in the morning getting ready for school. MTV was still hitting in the AM
Ain’t nun like them MTV days
Sooooo contagious. Please let that debut album sound like this and not U Mad. Please
U
Mad is a banger though. he can have both
+eric garcia preach
When's it come out ?
+Diego Gonzalez Still no date... hopefully soon tho
+Christopher Clark 12/8/2k16
I remember when this came out and I first heard it. Such a bop!!! I love it now just as much as I did then.
SOOOOOO CLOOOOSSSSEEE GUUUUUYYYYSSSS COME ON WE'RE ALMOST AT A MILLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ikr I watch it Every day 10 times a day lol
Hard to believe Vic was just 21 when this dropped.
This music video had so many fucking lessons its crazy, it never got enough love in my opinion.
one of the coolest video I have ever seen. really good song love it*** ;)
creative song, Really!
Why he keeps restarting?
Vanessa Shantae because shit doesnt go right for him so he keeps trying to get it right lol. like when the girl threw up on him it was his gf so when he got the text from her instead of replying to it he ignored it cuz when he said he was at the club she went there and there up on him so he just didnt reply the second time around :)
If you ever saw Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, it basically has that same concept as those movies. With less deaths (and more repeats.)
+TheRobster I felt old cause I didn't see any comments about Groundhog's Day. lol. thanks man
Wish he still made music like this
This shit is timeless. Been coming here for years.
2023 and this song goes hard. It still feels new. He should rerelease this. Classic🔥🔥🔥
This video is dope af
How did I forget about this?!!! Gonna be smashing this through 2020!!!
Not only is this music video high-concept and engaging, but the beat is ❤🔥and the vibe is exactly what I need for my special playlist. U rock @Vic Mensa!!
he's fine as hell
I'm telling Steph YOUR THE REASON GSW BLEW A 3-1 lead
Nah, that would be Lebron
He could do WHATEVER he wanted to me
onyx vanity wow
Ayesha Curry I know right! Better than 69!
haha this concept was too dope
Chicago House roots....
This dude was on a path of greatness with this.
I know we all love and miss this Vic and the creativity and we hate he went away from it, but V Tape is a step in the right direction. Y’all give it a chance and I think you’ll like it. Let’s allow him room to grow as an artist
He hasn't really grown since he stepped away from this type of music to be honest. Haven't even heard much from him
@@mcsniffabitch7828 he’s been making music with Chance again and they’re both diving deep creatively. Seems like they’re trying to get back to their roots.
@@robbieb6623 I hope so cause this vic mensa holds a special place in my heart I don't even like listening to this song cause it brings back to many good memories
@@mcsniffabitch7828 yeah that whole era makes me extremely nostalgic. I can’t go back to it that often either
This nigga is original af i never seen a music video concept like this
8 years and I still ain’t crazy how life be sometimes
& dude is flop of the century but this song is a hit
Best piece of work by vic yet. Shame he went a completely different direction
Such an innovative video and unique style of music…this guy really had potential
