    The intro to this movie (biker boyz) with this song playing in the background was so mesmerizing and hypnotizing. I was hooked by this song instantly.

    • @lilchinesekidchen
      @lilchinesekidchen 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Ali Shuber i think this song is more sombre than optimistic. he's saying these things with an ironic bent, claiming what they say about California is a lie.
      I mean, he mentions Compton and Watts, which are some of the most dangerous and poor neighborhoods in LA. That's not to say the people living there are "bad," he's celebrating the people who live there, but he's making it clear that the conditions they're living under are depressing.

    • @alirocksize

      austin chen mos diffidently (see what i did there) touches base upon issues occurring, well, everywhere/ but i was talking about his tone and the particular instrumentals he uses in his music. it is very bright and positive. it gives people hope for positive music in the future, rather than the tone being aggressive and dark. i love that type of music, but a little positive energy is always good. i was not specifically talking about his lyrical content. but even that, his approach in dealing with issues such as poverty and labour is very subtle and peaceful.

    I remember watching Biker Boyz back when it came out and i liked it. I liked the glam it shows with the women and the attention. I wanted to ride motorcycles afterwards and i watched a few movies about riding, i watched the Isle Of Man, i watched MotoGP, Endurance Motorcycle racing for 8 hours or more per race, i watched top fuel drag race, i watched street racing. I watched enduro and cross country and world riding.
    When i got my wheels, i had all but forgotten this movie and amazing song. What i learned to appreciate, what i learned that was not for me, was the things in Biker Boyz. I learned the sad peacefulness of your 4 cylinders buzzing underneath you at 5,000rpm, cruising and just minding your own business. I learned to love the solitude it bought and the smiles i found in unexpected places. I learned to love the heat of the road, when the sun cooks your leathers at over 100°F and tje heat of the exhaust climbing up you pant legs from the egine fan. I love the feeling of the frame heat from the engine roasti g your boots, the pain from being on the bars and the way the bike wants to throw you off at over 140mph. I learned to love it, hate it. I learned motorcycles, how they can change your attitude and demeanor. How motorcycles can change your thinking, when to go, what you can do and knowing when to trust the tires underneath you when you are unsure of the road. I learned how when you ride you get confidence and start to take things harder and faster than before, how your confidence can make you feel good and how it can bite you in the ass.
    I learned how good it feels to be alive when you should have died and busted your head. I've had high sides, tank slappers and broke traction at 7,000rpm in 3rd gear and felt the bike slide behind me on the rear ture as i keep the throttle open. I've had low sides and oil slicks, went over the bars and scrambled away from vehichles as they may soon hit and kill you.
    Riding motorcycles taught me life and it started, unbeknownst to me, hearing Mos Def and watching this movie. Riding bikes man, this song is paramount to the attitude i have. Everyone rides different, so i ride alone and make sure others are in my mirrors and no one sees me. Motorcycles are a very personal and selfish relationship with a machine. It truly is who you are and when others see you, it's a personal anonymity becuase they see someone who they think is cool behind the helmet. As one of the grestest sporting champions, Ayrton Senna said "the helmet hides emotions that cannot be seen."
    So when you see a biker, know that you never really see them. Even if it's for fame.

      Tremendous perspective you just shared. Watched that movie last night and although it's age was showing, it hit me in a few spots. It got my little bit of attention and gained more throughout. I turned the movie on literally as a joke because we couldn't find anything to watch. This song opened up the movie and immediately I found this song that I haven't heard I'm sooooooooo long. I almost completely forgot about this song I feel like. I loved reading your comment. Felt like I was with you right there. Thanks. Be safe out there.

    The song you're hearing without the vocals is Mahavishnu Orchestra - You know, you know. They are a jazz rock fusion band from late 60s, and 70s. Containing the legendary drummer Billy Cobham and guitarist John Mclaughlin, along with the electric violin player Jerry Goodman. If you digged this, check the original stuff out ;)
    PS: Mos Def is a legend.

      its actually in 4/4, Billy Cobham is just the fucking man. He laid the beat crazy. The first note of that main quarter not triplet lick is actually on the 2. You just have to focus super hard when you count and focus on the drums if you can. Moreover, the second quarter note triplet is the one that starts on the 1.

    • @Oneness100

      Yeah, but Mos wasn't playing any of the instruments. This was ripped from a 1971 Recording of a track You Know You Know from the album Inner Mounting Flame by Mahavishnu Orchestra. This recording of the music was done before dumbass was even born. He's just a lousy singer/rapper trying to take advantage of other people's hard work and dedication to music.

    • @Oneness100
      @Oneness100 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Elijah I just know that the music today is mostly garbage. I grew up where you had actual musicians that all knew how to play a musical instrument. You study either self taught, private lessons and/or going to a music school to learn how to play. It's a lot of HARD work to be able to reach a level where someone will call you up and get paid to do a gig, etc. It's a LOT of work.
      Taking a sample of someone else's work is easy. Any 5 year old can learn how to do it. And the problem is there's not much in the way of intelligence, heart, soul and emotion behind taking a sample of someone else's musical performances, taking a couple of measures out of context to THEIR music and then cut, copy, paste, paste paste paste is just a few mouse clicks.
      The whole concept of learning to play a musical instrument and become accomplished in a variety of different styles of music like Blues, Jazz (different styles), Latin, and other music forms from around the world, can actually be combined into new forms of music. That's where things become new and different.
      But you have been educated in computer based music and how to effectively plagiarize someone else's hard work and act like it's YOURS. I'll bet you any amount of money that 99% of the people that listen to this song NEVER heard of Mahavishnu Orchestra, NEVER heard of the song it's based on, and NEVER knew that the music of this song was created by other musicians and you think Mos Def played all of the instruments or created it all himself.
      His vocal part sounds literally like he sat back, smoked HUGE amounts of weed while he raps some stupid lyrics, tries to sing, but can't and it just sound stupid.
      But since you are so attached to Mos Def, someone like me comes around, exposes the truth and you take it personally. Don't. I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking someone with no actual talent effectively stealing someone else's hard work and making money from it and probably more than the musicians involved with this song. is that fair?

    • @Oneness100
      @Oneness100 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Elijah Then you are being really naive. No, it's not a competition, but there is such a thing as good music and bad music. There's also a thing about being AUTHENTIC vs PHONY, like REAL vs PHONY.
      There is also music that has intelligence/high level of consciousness and various types of emotions. Is it based on anger? Hate? Love? Passion? You can list a lot of different types of emotional words that can be applied to music. Does the music relax you, motivate you, excite, etc.
      There's also things about exposing yourself to as much music as you can and listen to level of musicianship, styles/cultures, forms of music. Can you identify certain music forms in music that combines many forms of music into one?
      And lastly, there is a thing about an artist (true artist) and a con artist. Some based their playing styles on someone else vs being an original.

    • @Oneness100
      @Oneness100 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Elijah Well, that's what you need because your other statements were coming from a place of ignorance. Maybe in 10 or 20 years from now, you'll understand if you can't.
      I grew up listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra and have seen different versions of the band live, have listened to each of their recordings thousands of times since the '70's. So when some asshole takes a sample of a couple of measures and creates another song and ruins it. IMO, by putting stupid rap and horrible singing on it, he basically, to me, took a shit on it. That's what is offensive to me.
      Just being honest.
