Probably one of the most important hip hop moments that nobody talks about. Jay and Kanye were shhhh on this because what can you say, honestly. This song needs to be recirculated.
An excellent commentary on this song and all too accurate . And one way to bring much needed attention to this song is for someone to sample it in their own song ... IF its a good song they write , people woll listen to the original sample and hear mos def ( yasiin bey ) . But samples cost $5,000 ! ( they used to cost $75,000 ! )
That man Yasiin dropped his version of the Takeover, no one said a gaddamn thing...and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. He again dropped this and everyone remained silent...another 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"this shit weird, we be home and still be scared. It’s grief here, It’s peace here, its easy and hard to be here." .. very deep line. perfectly describes what much of the 99% is feeling. Very grateful and thankful for who and what we have. We live in America and have so many luxuries and privileges while people in developing countries live life in utter poverty. But at the same time we work so many hours away from our families at unfulfilling jobs for people who treat us like shit.
True . But keeping folks here DOWN and struggling has all been by design ... so they'll opt for communism -- more and more are ! ... but instead of red communism , its called blue communism ... and regrettably its coming from the democrats -- who are no longer true democrats -- and haven't been in a long time . They are democrats in NAME only . I grew up in a drmocrat household BUT we , and our relatives , friends and neighbors were ALL KENNEDY DEMOCRATS ... ... and this is why RFK , JR. LEFT the Democrat Party and has endorsed TRUMP
Also , Kamala Harris should be INDICTED in the highest court in the land and found GUILTY on charges of Human Rights VIOLATIONS AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS ( more about this in my next comment )
Part 2 . The Beast decided to make an example of a single Black Mom , Cheree Peoples' for her 11 year old daughter not going to school : One morning , when it was still dark out ( she was still in her pajamas ) The Police knocked on her door and , telling her they had a WARRANT for HER ARREST for her kid's Truancy
Pt. 3 Cheree asked if she could get changed into her work clothing -- and when she opened the door after getting dressed there were ALOT of COPS there AS IF she HERSELF had committed a serious CRIME
Serious BARS with a message for those who are really listening. Yasiin Bey has always been dropping gems. I don't think he'll ever stop caring about the people. Thank you. I hope we appreciate this man while he's still alive and breathing. Please don't wait too late to give this man his flowers. He's on a different level of thinking while still caring for his people and fans.
That's why I love Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) he always manages to stimulate my thought process. Always has a message. It's not about money, hoes and clothes....he is an asset to the hip hop community.
I was gonna write some LONG a** ting but: This is Genius! Mos speaks for many people.. not only religous and black people.. I have a LOT of respect for Mos and love 4 his music.. I support his oppinion, cos im on tha same mission!! Biggup out from Russia!! Bless Peace
Bravo! Listening to real lyricists/philosophers is like standing in a museum gallery taking one's time with the art and it's meaning. It's quite personal to begin with, before groupthink. Blessings.
As a muslim, I really appreciate ur words. And yes, it really does. We believe in the teachings of christ too. To be honest we respect and follow his teaching more than the Christians do. But the majority of the people don't know this. Because they are too busy being prejudiced and ignorant.
if you listen to this while reading the lyrics of the original version you can see just how good this is lyrically, he murders them with their own words. that shit "cray" :))
Hip hop... Rap... For awhile there we couldn't find a heartbeat dying out and fast thank you mos for making me feel that some cats out there are speaking truth WORD IS BORN Kid!
It's because they're ain't too many real people for this real music. People want what's giving to them on the radio(mind control, payola). People can't think for themselves and they rather be told what to think and listen to. A fight between good and evil.
J.R.Bell..... You Know WHYYY????...." RADIO.....SUCKAS NEVER PLAY ME....ON THE MIX.... THEY JUS OKAY ME. . ." -*REALITY* HIP HOP QUOTABLE..............*word*.
Usually I don't like disses but this is pure genius. It is even not a diss, just an education song for everyone who knows the original and for those who don't. Yasiin *bow*
Just listen to what he is saying...its not about dissing a particular mc or any ish like that but its about looking inside and making the change to a better you....don't only open your eyes but open you mind people!!!
If Allah is not the word for you - simply translate it. This message is for you, translate the information into a way that is beneficial. And don't get caught up in NO throne, just as Mos says - Even Allahs throne if that is how you must look at it. For me, I simply see it as the 'now' - I don't see the statement as an invisible hand, but merely a word to describe something. The infinite now, the cycles from decisions. We are the universe witnessing itself. You are in control.
+Malev Da Shinobi The observable universe has 350 billion galaxies! Our Milky Way Galaxy is 100000 light years across with 200 billion star systems in it. It has 20 billion planetary systems like ours and 1 in 10 of those have Earth like planets. It's incomprehensible for anyone to think of being in control of anything.
Thank you GOD! Yasiin brother you reminded us what real music, hip hop, rap or whateva the hell young money makes, but this is the story of our neighborhoods, our reality.You got me prepared for battle again. Thank you!
powerful; important...some of you MAY have the tendency to close your mind....to stop watching this all the way through. hear it. feel it. our country's in trouble. our world is in trouble. our children are in trouble. love is that only answer!!!! well, i stand corrected; there are a myriad of answers, love is the answer of the highest truth. anything less than love will inherently bring more pain. we need to love one another; leaving noone behind!!
This is what it is all about. Real meaning, calling motherfuckers out. Realist shit I've seen in years. Yasiin Bey is on a whole other level. Lot's of people take tracks and redo them, or sample parts of songs, but this... this is taking a track that was all about making money, self interest, gloating, and made that shit real. Don't get me wrong I like the original but it might as well not exist now because Yasiin Bey owned that shit. Those diamonds in West's teeth aint gonna save his soul.
great great stuff Yasiin! I'm chilean, so seeing footage of the dictator that killed our brothers for 30 years while lyrics say "don't get caught up with no throne" is the SHIET
I haven't witnessed it first hand, but I did see a television program about the music industry, and in this one episode it followed a female singer making a song, and try to get it played on the radio. This singer was tipped to be the hottest thing that the year but nothing ever happened. The song was even produced by Mark Ronson, and someone else well known (I can't remember who exactly). The episode showed the singer's manager playing the song to the bosses, and even interviewed DJ's.
This is why I love the brother Mos Def! Other than the fact that I don't use the N word, everything else he says is o on point! Real Hip Hop will always live!!!
mos def, my brother! respect to you. the sunnah is the most important path. peace upon you and your family. keep speaking the truth to the people. may He who holds our head in His hands preseve you. Amin!
Ric Smith While Jay Z and Kanye are talking about unreal fortunes they have, everyone else in the world is struggling and Mos Def tells whats really up
MANNNN!!! People should SAY NO MORE, about who is legend or not. Mos Def is Definitely a DAMN! "Legend". This video just proven his Impeccable, skill, heart & creativity. WOW! I'm Totally Impressed.
wow! "these devils out here lying, acting like our kids ain't dying." Loving it and needing to hear it. He had to break it down and put it in your language (they language).
THANK YOU. Someone had to say something to J & Ye's ridiculous hubris. Thank you taking that beat and putting some urgency and reality to it. It's not about peace anymore people. It is about ACTION. ACTION!
I hate how people compare the 2! Mos is rhyming about what the majority of us go through. Jay is rhyming about where you can get to with success. Id rather be able to live Jay and Kanyes version..... Mos Def has always been top 5 when it comes to MC's! The man has that gift. I cant tell you a wack Mos Def verse! Comes with fire everytime he spits. Black on both sides, and the blackstar album are 2 underrated classics!
"Signs through the earth and through the heavens, lunar, solar eclipses We seeking for forgiveness and safety for our children Don't get caught up in no throne, don't get caught up in no throne Don't get caught up in no throne, Allah is in control"
Great song; amazing skill. Shivers up and down my spine and then that bullshit line at the end. What a great message about giving up the worship of money and power, unfortunately it is subverted at the end with the promise of yet another tyrant that demands supplication.
pkay dennis I'm going to appeal to your intelligence and ask: where did I say that? Also, I find it amusing that you still have not taken the time to correct your typo and instead choose to whine. Are we supposed to take you seriously?
+Tony Gonzales , Mos Def is the only celebrity that had enough courage to say truth , who are you to judge his line without any argument ... i know why you didn't use any argument , but i want you to realize that if you think that you are smart , and i'm sure you are but try to think "objectively" and do some research ! peace !
@amsid Maison Martin Margiela: He is a famous designer. Between 1985 and 1987 he worked for Jean Paul Gaultier, before showing his first collection under his own label in 1989. Between 1997 to 2003 he became, despite his non-traditional design, the creative director of the Hermès women's line. Margiela's brand was acquired by the Diesel brand in 2002, and in 2009 Margiela left the company due to creative differences.
I love this is song, but Allah is not in control. Only the people can control what's going on in our nations, not a silent, absentee God, Allah or Yahweh. It is up to us to make a change in the world we claim to love.
Allah is in control, weather you like it or not, he is not absent. you are nothing but a needy human, brought and nursed by another needy humanbeeing.you can do nothing by your self if it wasn't by the mercy of Allah. the reason why we have no change is because first we have to change our self(by worshiping the one treu god, Allah)quran 3:55 "([Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ". Allah also said quran (8:53) "That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing".peace to you
Came to TH-cam and looked up Yasiin Bey. Saw people mention Macklemore. So I searched Macklemore and listened to 2 tracks. Came right back to that real Hip Hop. Fuck a Macklemore.
One of the few rap icons who did not compromise his artistic integrity at all.
Probably one of the most important hip hop moments that nobody talks about. Jay and Kanye were shhhh on this because what can you say, honestly. This song needs to be recirculated.
Mos Def stay making IMPORTANT recordings, NEW WORLD WATER
I heard this as it came out. Only found out it was a response to jay and k this week. It blew my mind
An excellent commentary on this song and all too accurate .
And one way to bring much needed attention to this song is for someone to sample it in their own song ... IF its a good song they write , people woll listen to the original sample and hear mos def ( yasiin bey ) .
But samples cost $5,000 ! ( they used to cost $75,000 ! )
One of the most important songs of our era. #2023 still very relevant “ don’t get caught up in no throne.”
It's cringe and disrespectful towards Kanye.
That man Yasiin dropped his version of the Takeover, no one said a gaddamn thing...and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
He again dropped this and everyone remained silent...another 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Who gettin faded
Little Maurice in the 6th grade
No mama. No father. Role model...
...the dope game."
😭😭😭🥱😭😭😭😩😓
All facts and no lies laid on this track!
Mos Def is the realest of them all, you can tell the money didn't corrupt him
"this shit weird, we be home and still be scared. It’s grief here, It’s peace here, its easy and hard to be here." .. very deep line. perfectly describes what much of the 99% is feeling. Very grateful and thankful for who and what we have. We live in America and have so many luxuries and privileges while people in developing countries live life in utter poverty. But at the same time we work so many hours away from our families at unfulfilling jobs for people who treat us like shit.

True . But keeping folks here DOWN and struggling has all been by design ... so they'll opt for communism -- more and more are !
... but instead of red communism , its called blue communism ... and regrettably its coming from the democrats -- who are no longer true democrats -- and haven't been in a long time .
They are democrats in NAME only .
I grew up in a drmocrat household BUT we , and our relatives , friends and neighbors were ALL

... and this is why RFK , JR. LEFT the Democrat Party and has
endorsed

Part 2 . The Beast decided to make an example of a single Black Mom , Cheree Peoples' for her 11 year old daughter not going to school :
One morning , when it was still dark out ( she was still in her pajamas ) The Police knocked on her door and , telling her they had a
WARRANT
for
HER ARREST
for her kid's
Truancy
Pt. 3
Cheree asked if she could get changed into her work clothing -- and when she opened the door after getting dressed there were
ALOT of COPS
there
AS IF
she
HERSELF
had
committed
a serious
CRIME
"Who the fuck is Margiela?" "What's 50 grand to a nigga like me?" Realest shit ever!
The Malcom footage gave me chills. Excellent lyrics!
Mashallah
Serious BARS with a message for those who are really listening. Yasiin Bey has always been dropping gems. I don't think he'll ever stop caring about the people. Thank you.

He's on a different level of thinking while still caring for his people and fans.
Yoooo this is *revolutionary*. Stand for something or fall for anything!!!! That Malcolm X bit did it for me this version is *REAL*
This version is realer.
That's why its not on Spotify
That's why I love Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) he always manages to stimulate my thought process. Always has a message. It's not about money, hoes and clothes....he is an asset to the hip hop community.
"Don't get caught up in no throne."
"Allah is in control."
Hyu
Perfect example of why Mos will FOREVER be in my Top 5!!
One of the most beautiful and underrated emcees of all time
This track blew my mind when it came out Mos Def will forever be in my top 5
2022 and just had to hear it again! if Yasiin never does anything else musically, I am cool with his catalog and this is at the top!
Mos Def is underrated, underappreciated, intelligent and talented as hell.
This version should be on the radio
Yasiin. SHittin on your fave rappers 24/7. Real Musician right here
Always an enlightenment when this brother speaks Yasiin Bey / is the Mos Def
I was gonna write some LONG a** ting but: This is Genius! Mos speaks for many people.. not only religous and black people.. I have a LOT of respect for Mos and love 4 his music.. I support his oppinion, cos im on tha same mission!! Biggup out from Russia!!
Bless

This is on repeat all day long while Im at work!! Mos Definetely one of the Greatest!!!
I love this song so much. Such clever rhymes and good messages.
Happy born day to a great artist of our day ❤ Mr. Yasiin bey
if you listen to this while reading the lyrics of the original version you can see just how good this is lyrically, he murders them with their own words. that shit "cray" :))
I just did this... it's literally why he is forever my goat.
Hip hop... Rap... For awhile there we couldn't find a heartbeat dying out and fast thank you mos for making me feel that some cats out there are speaking truth WORD IS BORN Kid!
Allah is in control... By far one of the best songs I've heard in the past year
Hip Hop has always been alive and kicking
How the hell this video don't have a million views by now???!! SMGDH
because you cant twerk to a socially conscious song
bout jay z my man!!
It's because they're ain't too many real people for this real music. People want what's giving to them on the radio(mind control, payola). People can't think for themselves and they rather be told what to think and listen to. A fight between good and evil.
J.R.Bell..... You Know WHYYY????...." RADIO.....SUCKAS NEVER PLAY ME....ON THE MIX.... THEY JUS OKAY ME. . ." -*REALITY* HIP HOP QUOTABLE..............*word*.
July, 2017. Still not at a mill.
Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def hands down is the realest most down to earth rapper out there
Doctors say I'm the illest. Yasiin you're killing me man
One of the most refreshing records of the year.
this was the best thing I have seen in years.
I am floored at how right on this is.
Usually I don't like disses but this is pure genius. It is even not a diss, just an education song for everyone who knows the original and for those who don't. Yasiin *bow*
May ALLAH grant El-Hajj Malik Shabazz Paradise. Yasiin make me proud to be Muslim, Word up. ALLAH is in Control.
this is so fucking good why isn't everyone listening to this
Cuz people are still sleep walking.
That's so Moorish he's such a scientist with this hit! LOVE IT!
Thank you Yasiin. This song mos definitely hit me harder than the first time I heard it.
Just listen to what he is saying...its not about dissing a particular mc or any ish like that but its about looking inside and making the change to a better you....don't only open your eyes but open you mind people!!!

Alhumdulilah
He killed it.
powerful; important...some of you MAY have the tendency to close your mind....to stop watching this all the way through. hear it. feel it. our country's in trouble. our world is in trouble. our children are in trouble. love is that only answer!!!! well, i stand corrected; there are a myriad of answers, love is the answer of the highest truth. anything less than love will inherently bring more pain. we need to love one another; leaving noone behind!!
Doctors say im the illest, i aint got no insurance :):)

these lyrics should be engraved in stone
The lyrics in this guy's songs blow me away.
who could dislike this!! Lyrically Poetic...HipHop
This is what it is all about. Real meaning, calling motherfuckers out. Realist shit I've seen in years. Yasiin Bey is on a whole other level.

Well done. Better than original Thanks!!

Thank you for speaking truth to power.
LOL omg I love you Yasiin Mos Def What ever!

First time hearing this. That was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
This is awesome, inspiration for this generation!
Mos Def...Yasiin Bey...This human being just shut it down. I'm telling everyone I know about this moment I just experienced.
Allah is in control.

MrRaiders323100
Everything is in the hands of Allah, we only have the illusion of being in control.
This is why I love the brother Mos Def! Other than the fact that I don't use the N word, everything else he says is o on point! Real Hip Hop will always live!!!
that message though deep!
mos def, my brother! respect to you. the sunnah is the most important path. peace upon you and your family. keep speaking the truth to the people. may He who holds our head in His hands preseve you. Amin!
DOPE
I can relate to Mos Def words so this is my favorite. I love JayZ but Mos Def lyrics are my reality. Keep flowing brothers.
This shits on Jay Z & Kanye's original version.
Ric Smith While Jay Z and Kanye are talking about unreal fortunes they have, everyone else in the world is struggling and Mos Def tells whats really up
He does is all the time. Like when he did "The Rapeover" after Jay Z's "Takeover"... th-cam.com/video/QfqRipvk6WE/w-d-xo.html
MANNNN!!! People should SAY NO MORE, about who is legend or not.
Mos Def is Definitely a DAMN! "Legend". This video just proven his Impeccable, skill, heart & creativity. WOW! I'm Totally Impressed.
CLASSIC!!!!
Thank you Diplo for leading me here. Thank you Bey for doing this version.
bismillah to my Muslim brothers from a Christian man.
Stop worshipping the messenger, and turn to the ALMIGHTY CREATOR, your soul depends on it. Salaams
wow! "these devils out here lying, acting like our kids ain't dying." Loving it and needing to hear it. He had to break it down and put it in your language (they language).
Don't get caught up in no throne, Allah is in control

owned jay and kanye!!
THANK YOU. Someone had to say something to J & Ye's ridiculous hubris. Thank you taking that beat and putting some urgency and reality to it. It's not about peace anymore people. It is about ACTION. ACTION!
Allah is in control.
This is king .. Loved the video and the lyrics , always outshining the rest of the commercial heads ..
#Dope
ive listen to this at least 6 times a day for a week. def my fav. realest shit ive heard n a whle
I hate how people compare the 2! Mos is rhyming about what the majority of us go through. Jay is rhyming about where you can get to with success. Id rather be able to live Jay and Kanyes version..... Mos Def has always been top 5 when it comes to MC's! The man has that gift. I cant tell you a wack Mos Def verse! Comes with fire everytime he spits. Black on both sides, and the blackstar album are 2 underrated classics!
Yasiin Bey + Stann Smith + Joey badass + Talib kweli = THE BEST HIP-HOP EVER!

I love this is song, but Allah is not in control. Only the people can control what's going on in our nations, not a silent, absentee God, Allah or Yahweh. It is up to us to make a change in the world we claim to love.
Allah is in control, weather you like it or not, he is not absent. you are nothing but a needy human, brought and nursed by another needy humanbeeing.you can do nothing by your self if it wasn't by the mercy of Allah. the reason why we have no change is because first we have to change our self(by worshiping the one treu god, Allah)quran 3:55
