This has to be my fave crowd ever. So peaceful and quite. They letting a legend do his thing, instead of screaming every 3 second. How I wish I could be there.
I got ... No particular order ... Mos Def Black Thought Nas Busta Rhymes DMX Treach Pun Kiss Styles P KRS 1 Rakim Cool G Rap Red Man Method Man Sean Price Rockness Monsta Papoose Prodigy Yes I'm gonna say Joe Budden Ghost Face Killa My Favorite 20 List My reasons is because their skill , they never changed their style for a fad ... they always contributed to the Culture ... and most others cannot fxck with their Barz and content ..... Plus they never sold out or sold Soul 💯
@@asupsobelow of course, no doubt about it, I can see the dimension of his personality even without understand his language. Similar than Dilla. People talk about he was a great beatmaker or producer... even musician! No way bro, he was a fucking ARTIST.
@@JimmyAttitudeSupertramp well putted bro. I see a few rappers to have this expansion, they get out the preconception of rap culture or their personality and the feel the vibes of music as a whole. Its great man, to become the place that music as an archetype will be manifested.
@@asupsobelow I get you. For me it's difficult and different my way to judge them cause I live in Spain and I have no idea about their exactly impact on society and music or art. Also, I have no real map about their lyrics, so I only recieve them by vibes, is something "spiritual"... In spanish is easy for me to enter in rapper's worlds, and create an inside dialogue, but here is more about flows, waves... You can feel how deep many american rappers are. (I understand lyrics and digg about, I am talking about understand in really deep way, mental dimension, but also social, emotional, etc)...
Not even exaggerating when I say my FAVORITE TH-cam video ever..the beautiful crowd, instruments, lyrics. Everything about this is perfect, I come back to it constantly
@@tayo17923 I knew that we actualy agree on most.🤣 The crowd is ok dude, my point is that I think most of them are unfamiliar with Mos Def. Even if you dont agree, thats not an unfair assessment regarding the amount of times Ive watched the video. I like it, at the very least, as much as you. Peace peace peace
Saw Mos Def a few years back. Looked forward to it more than any concert I had been to and ended up going on my own because none of my mates were interested. When I got there, his set was made up of EDM/ borderline art house remixes of his classics. He would perform about 30 seconds of the original track, then tell the DJ to stop the music and run the latest version of the song. A few new tracks in there too which didn’t stray away from his new found genre. It was all a bit trancey and art house, and I’m not gonna lie, I was disappointed I couldn’t hear the music I was so fond of in the flesh, but then I respect Mos Def as an artist , actor and performer, so much so that it felt more like a privilege to listen to where he’s taking his new musical direction. I left the gig not full of adrenaline and awe, but with a new perspective on music writing as a whole.
This is so awesome. I find there are two great types of artists. CCR knows who and what they are about. It is a crime none of their stuff went no. 1. Every one of their singles got in the top 5, and made songs that you cannot forget to put in a top songs of the decade. Saw the live in was fantastic. Then there is Beck. No two albums sound remotely the same. Some are hit and miss with me. The ones that hit though. Speak to my soul. Without those misses I/he wouldn't have the hits.
Had the same experiencs. The legend was giving away flowers and I mean that. A powerpoint presentation and all that, some skits of classics. Really a shame. I dont care that he is a legend I came to see him perform on some hiphop shit. The Mos from BoBS and Ecstatic is gone
FFS.... Why does there always have to be someone that is willing to shit on art with racial divide? Can we forget that shit atleast here? The regurgitation of unnecessary bull shit is everywhere, why help propagate division? Extraordinary humans expressing extraordinary manifestations of their most intimate creations of imagination is just that! Legends see none of these bullshit social constructs your favorite propaganda factory spews on a daily basis! The amount of money that goes into keeping us divided should tell it all and reveals the true nature of these ideas! so fucking generic.... never fails
Let's face it, Robert Glasper is to music what Mos Def is to hip hop. That's why they vibe so perfectly! Peace to Mark, Chris and Casey! You guys are legends!

"No particular order" went over your head. But, what gets me about the comment is the absence of Rap's late and great supervillain.
@@Felix-M. I'd throw in Gza, Last Emperor, Aceyalone, Ras Kass, MF DOOM, ...

His lyricism is out of this world. I suggest if you haven’t yet; go listen to all of Mos Def’s albums. Masterpieces.
🎯🎙️🔥
MOS DEF IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED OG's EVER . Definitely one of my top 5 .
AMEN 🙏
my top 1
One of the few who never spit any trash verse. Not possible. Definitely a GOAT
You're tripping man, he's respected everywhere.
People know he's good, they just don't play him enough.

I wouldn't be happy and feel like I got ripped off !!
Beautiful brother
Most definitely the realest
Mos def initely
Never sold his soul. Always stayed true 2 self
African American Hip Hop culture right here!! Yes sir!!!
Indian African American hahah.. The tune is an old Indian Latha Mangeshkar song. Peace brother ✌️
Moorish American to be exact!

Let's face it, Robert Glasper is to music what Mos Def is to hip hop. That's why they vibe so perfectly! Peace to Mark, Chris and Casey! You guys are legends!
Hip-hop is music too

[[Verse: Mos Def]]
Yo, the way I feel, sometime it's too hard to sit still
Things are so passionate, times are so real
Sometimes I try to chill, mellow down, blowin' smoke
Smile on my face but it's really no joke
You feel it in the street, the people breathe without hope
They going through the motion, they dimming down the focus
Their focus get cleared, then their light turn sharp
And the eyes grow teary, the mind grow weary
I speak it so clearly, sometimes ya'll don't hear me
I push it past the bass, no nations got to feel me
I feel it in my bones, black, I'm so wide awake
That I'm hardly ever asleep, my flow forever deep
And it's volumes or scriptures when I breathe on the beat
My presence speak volumes, before I say a word
I'm everywhere penthouse, pavement, and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral of a shell
Universal, ghetto life, holla black, you know it well
Quiet storm, vital form, pen pushed it right across
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
Shoulders, the lions raw voice is the siren
I swing round, ring out, and bring down the tyrant
Shocked a small act, could knock a giant lopsided
The world is so dangerous, there's no need for fighting
Suttins trying to hide, like the struggle won't find him
And the sun bust through the clouds, to clearly remind him
He's everywhere: penthouse, pavement, and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral of a shell
Universal, ghetto life, holla black, you know it well
[[Chorus: Mos Def and Slick Rick]]
What it is
You know, they know
What it is
We know, ya'll know
What it is
Ecstatic, there it is
Huh, what it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is
What it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is
[[Ad lib: Mos Def]]
Peace, power, fantastic, original
And always on time, and rocking your mind, it's like
