Damian is probably the chillest dude on earth. Something so authentic about his personality and charisma... That video is a masterpiece. We need more of this for this generation
Jay Z isn't a kid anymore and hasn't been for some time. He is almost 50 and has a family. It makes sense that his message and delivery should change. It's called growth...
Sister Nancy at 3:49, chills. Cannot ignore how nonchalant Sister Nancy is with... Jay Z: "must feel so good to make something to timeless?" Sister Nancy:" Of course". I love everything about this video.
I’m glad she finally got her just due..I remember having belly bootleg on vhs listening to bam bam for the first time I broke the tape I had rewinded so much
Damian Marley is so underrated, especially when he collaborates with Nas. Now Jay-z....Fuckin LEGENDARY Edit: wow...thank you...I was not expecting any likes at all...I admit, it's kinda overwhelming lmao.
84blizzle every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. Because Nas and Damien are similar in thought process/love of their African culture
+nmessai215 You for got to put, "In my opinion" in front of every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. There is no definitive way to compare and judge art.
He raps about personal things on a few songs on a few albums. If you listen to his albums you can see him fighting his demons some albums are more braggadocio, some more hard and some more personal. But he's always rapped about meaningful things, it has just always been in the shadow of the drug dealer and materialism which is a reflection of where he's from.
He grew back some albums and years ago, people started saying he was "falling off" when he moved to a more mature substance & material. As Michael Perry noted...the masses had to grow to accept it. Some still haven't.
Him and Bey make works of Art now. They don’t try to chart or “prove” anything. They just make works of art, visually and musically. This album is a classic.
Man Jay-z thank you for paying respect to my culture... feel so proud to see you dig so deep and putting my country and such a large platform... big up 🤜🏽🤛🏽
jamaica made it possible for jay to be on a large platform. dj kool herc is the father of hip hop and he is jamaican. he started those block parties up in new york that gave birth to the art. so its only right to pay homage. that small island does big things. jay z is a jamaican descent like me. his mom or father is jamaican.
hypnosquirrel how can u speak for an entire population? They showed me love when I went. And this wasn't at the resort. This was around town. That's that bullshit stereotype homie. Don't do that. That's why we as black people cant unite
Unlike Drake and many other artists who've taken the Reggae genre and chopped it up and named it something else. Jay Z went to Jamaica to expose one of the many greats doing music there. Not to take but to learn and maybe give something in return. I'll be buying this album. #IT'SBIGGERTHANRAP
Yeah Nas definitely did it first, but you can't act like Drake hasn't done anything with dancehall.... Toronto has a large Jamaican community, and you can hear him use the slang in some songs and some of the beats are definitely dancehall beats
cookie summer exactly!!!! I personally did not know about bam bam by Nancy. I was touched to see Damien Marley and Jay Z working together it show the power of Marley and how his legacy lives On! Bam was made in the 70's or 80's and has been sampled over a 1000xs...and she will receive another nice check because of Jay Z ! Ppl have missed that it all about history and respect...thats never wrong
Yes Jamaican people, I'm so proud that our culture has inspired artists from all over the world, the gem of the world is Jamaica, big up, Sister Nancy Jay-Z Junior Gong, we're African royalties that just got just boarded on different ships🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I don't care who did what first, all I care about is the message!! That's the problem with this generation, so focused on shit that doesn't matter. You people need to wake up already... WAKE UP!!!
I enjoy jay z. He is a great artist... However that J Hov thing. I wasn't f÷ling that. He may be a great artist However what he is portraying to be??? Don't feel comfortAble
Not here for Jay honestly. Always been a fan of Damian and this was one beautiful video of my country. Love to see the real side of us portrayed and I never get tired of it. This is our culture. This is who we are. And it's beautiful. Big up Sister Nancy!
cerebral dome - if you were from NY - where hip hop was birthed - then you would know. Most of the US has no clue (just like they don't know most of the break dancers were Puerto Rican)... Maybe some in South Florida who had access to Jamaican dancehall would know too. The fact that you don't know history doesn't mean it's not a fact.
cerebral dome dude your an idiot, this is what u hate about my generation everyone wants to argue and shit but no one wants to research and find out the facts. Fact is hip hop was started by a JAMAICAN DJ in the Bronx who would play late 70's records with his turntable. The MC or master of ceremony would then perform Jamaican style TOASTING (rhythmic chanting) over the track which then evolved to rapping. The carribean influence in hip hop and to a greater degree African American culture as a whole makes PERFECT SENSE AS OVER 80% of Africans brought to america came via the West Indies. Wake up read a book and know your history my brother.....
I bet you complain about racism and inequality while you go on and hate on white people supporting black artists. Plus you know nothing about me besides my profile picture
Jay-Z still loves music and he is trying to get the youth to love it the same way. Good to see it. Music is so much more powerful of a tool for change than just trying to use it to churn out some money
So basically yall gonna ignore that Sister Nancy is the greatest artist of all time. Her vocals are phenomenal. Jay-Z, Damian Marley and Sister Nancy are great. This song is a work of Art I respect it. BIG UP
this is art at its finest its not easy to make an album like this - jay-z took his time and delivered a classic album , respect the goat hov - rip chester bennington
This brought me to tears. We as Jamaicans come from far and still traveling many roads and hurdles in farrin! Pray for the diaspora. It tuff out there!
Sooo thrilled to see Sister Nancy getting props! Fangirling right now! A living legend! Every time I see Tuff Gong Studios I get chills! Thank you for doing this one Kings Shawn and Damian! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
drewb4u2 Canjam I like JA but the Caribbean is more than just JA. What about Haiti, Trinidad& Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent& the grenadines, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Martens, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, Antiqua and the list goes on and on. So therefore JA is not just the Caribbean, that is just being bias cause you're Jamaican. Like I said I love JA and JA ppl but some of y'all are known to be bias. I'm Haitian I could of said my ppl change the meaning of freedom in the islands they were the first black freed republic in the Western Hemisphere. The Haitian revolution is very historic but I know what my African/Haitian ancestors did I do not have to be bias or brag about it.
Im a huge Nas fan but can we stop it with the Jay/Nas comparison?...Both Mc's are legends and they ended their beef long ago..so what Nas teamed up with Damien first..respect to both jay and nas for making great music.
well said. Plus Damian Marley is now signed to RocNation, Jay Z's label AND Tidal, that's why Jay jumped on the occasion to do music with him now. Keep it in the label, profit for both.
Mook DaVillan Nas is a legend..Jay Z ain't...Nas always had uplifting message pon his lyrics n Jay Z not at all......kmt it kinda disappointing to see Damian a sing with Jay Z kmt nah sah
DuttyBwoy but jay z does have messages but dont get me wrong cuz Naz is legend but u can never forget about my nigga jay z he changing rap to history 🔥🔥🔥🔥
BU saeed sister Nancy Bam Bam album have a song called "Mad over me"...it's coming back now...I used to listen to that record when my parent's played it...
U clearly haven't seen the behind the scenes clips floating around youtube. There was pandemonium in Trench Town (heck, all across Ja) because of J's presence. The clean, empty shots were only for the purpose of the final cut of the video...
enkadu007 youth it hurts you that much seeing a small country on top??????? Jamaica 🇯🇲 a my home land and no matter what happening down there right now with the killing I forever love ❤️ it...
Freestyle bam bam is very powerful music it triggers sensations in your body that makes you feel good you could listen to music like this your whole life and not get tired of it
It don't matter who did it first, AS LONG AS IT GETS DONE, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GO BUT HAVE NOT. I tell you we are our own downfall these days. Nas and Jay Z are legends, what will you leave in this life to be remembered as a great? Soon as my bag is secure enough for me to go, I will make my journey to Africa and Jamaica.. tru..
Quenyetta Brown I KNOW THATS RIGHT SIS... IVE GONE TO JM THREE TIMES... AFRICA AND BRAZIL ARE NEXT... ( MOST PPL RATHER PAY GUCCI AND JORDAN THAN HOP ON A 🛩) BLESS UP SIS. HAPPY TRAVELS
jay-z keep dropping and dropping - the goat is back you will always be my favorite , you did more rap than any rapper today , i want that respect from all rappers and fans
What an amazing story of cultural memory making in a very authenic way was this video and song captured..Timeless...It ain't going NO WHERE the video is like the wind!
Spongebob Chicken that's great dude I mean I'm black and feel proud of the Hispanic culture ain't nothing wrong with it. In fact if all races were more proud of other cultures we wouldn't be caught in the racist clusterfuck of a society we're in today👍🏾
This is a very informative doc about the orgins of hip hop !! alot of these so called rappers dont know bout this while they be dissing mumble rappers !!
In the beginning even before the gangsta lyricist is the intelligent world student.... it's Shawn's cultural intelligence that affords him the Broad creative abilities that he possesses in his work and thought. 🤔
Damian is probably the chillest dude on earth. Something so authentic about his personality and charisma... That video is a masterpiece. We need more of this for this generation
Of that's Jr Gong
G.A.M.A Kendrick has great videos
Sewage Man
that's because he's baked asf all day
But patience which Nas & Gong is still Hardest FEAT of all Time 💯
Jay Z isn't a kid anymore and hasn't been for some time. He is almost 50 and has a family. It makes sense that his message and delivery should change. It's called growth...
mikochild2 he most definitely evolved right before our eyes... knowledge is power.
mikochild2 thank you!!
mikochild2 i agree
mikochild2 you better hush truth
mikochild2 fuck yes
Sister Nancy at 3:49, chills. Cannot ignore how nonchalant Sister Nancy is with... Jay Z: "must feel so good to make something to timeless?" Sister Nancy:" Of course". I love everything about this video.
I’m glad she finally got her just due..I remember having belly bootleg on vhs listening to bam bam for the first time I broke the tape I had rewinded so much
Powerful isn’t it!
The black diaspora is a beautiful thing ✊🏿
We are NOT BLACK! Thats a colour huni. Are you a colour? Remember,we were were Africans before we became anything else. Pay attention to the lyrics.
@@africaninjamaica632 can u you teach me more about our culture
@@africaninjamaica632 go ahead, use semantics to bring somebody down for celebrating the same thing you are
@@africaninjamaica632 Bro come on, y'all got to stop with this, its exhausting
Finally, *real* artists being *real*.
We need more of this and less propaganda of fake riches.
We should have less fake platinum as well. Which this album is.
HubsDrunk or less people like you commenting on videos as such**
Rae wow, so basically anyone who criticizes jay z shouldn't comment? Fuck off.
facts!!
Uhhhh, you're a God damned idiot.
Damian Marley is so underrated, especially when he collaborates with Nas. Now Jay-z....Fuckin LEGENDARY
Edit: wow...thank you...I was not expecting any likes at all...I admit, it's kinda overwhelming lmao.
84blizzle ikr that distant relatives album was my shit bro
84blizzle every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. Because Nas and Damien are similar in thought process/love of their African culture
Next collab, with Wizkid the starboy
haha that's retarded......"Hovey" should be honoured he is working with the brilliant Damian Marley. not the other way about.
+nmessai215 You for got to put, "In my opinion" in front of every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. There is no definitive way to compare and judge art.
I'm so glad Jay Z done grew up and is making music that is actually meaningful. Shits a classic.
Christina Collier it's not just that he grew he talked about wanted to do this kind of music in his albums ...we grew to accept it
He raps about personal things on a few songs on a few albums. If you listen to his albums you can see him fighting his demons some albums are more braggadocio, some more hard and some more personal. But he's always rapped about meaningful things, it has just always been in the shadow of the drug dealer and materialism which is a reflection of where he's from.
hes popular but underrated
about 80% says hes overrated , me personally i think he's better than nas if your talking about overall body of work
He grew back some albums and years ago, people started saying he was "falling off" when he moved to a more mature substance & material. As Michael Perry noted...the masses had to grow to accept it. Some still haven't.
Him and Bey make works of Art now. They don’t try to chart or “prove” anything. They just make works of art, visually and musically. This album is a classic.
Underrated comment
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ive noticed. Its another business move. Make fine art for culture and black culture
For real! The reality of the situations. Is really indescribable!
@@17kallum sure is!
Man Jay-z thank you for paying respect to my culture... feel so proud to see you dig so deep and putting my country and such a large platform... big up 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Come back any time mi bredda
Roger K of course I'm comin back brethren. Don't tell dude in the comments above me tho. He said y'all hate "Yankees" smh
I've never been a fan of Jay-Z - But 4:44?? Fuck me, one of the most inspired pieces of art to have ever come out of the music industry.
It felt like a real honest confession for his sins...
Michael Lee I know know right? I never had an interest inJay Z until I saw the story of oj and that got me super hype for his album
What but Nas had been talking about this his all albums🤷🏿♂️ I'm confused or because it's Jay-Z
Thought you were talking about the video minute mark 4:44, then I got it :/
Dude sold his soul along time ago, he a devil worshipper
One of the most well made albums in music history. 🤞👏
Unlike Drake and many other artists who've taken the Reggae genre and chopped it up and named it something else. Jay Z went to Jamaica to expose one of the many greats doing music there. Not to take but to learn and maybe give something in return. I'll be buying this album. #IT'SBIGGERTHANRAP
Jayz showing Jamaicans reggae and dancehall RESPECT that many rappers popstars don't big up jayz
cookie summer #DISTANTRELATIVES...NAS did it right and first...this dude just a fuckin copy cat n always been
Yeah Nas definitely did it first, but you can't act like Drake hasn't done anything with dancehall.... Toronto has a large Jamaican community, and you can hear him use the slang in some songs and some of the beats are definitely dancehall beats

“We’re whistles the wind go through us... we make the noise” that was so dope
Hov is jus something else
4:44 is masterpiece 💯
4:44 is powerful
💯💯💯💯💯
What does it mean
Mr AB it’s the album
4:44 changed my life, i see 444 every day of my life since this album dropped.
Best song off the album hands down. Don't fight me on this.
Taylor Wohlmaker accurate
A culture ya can't buy
I will fight you on this
The best song on the album without a doubt is Marcy Me.
We must fight you. Story of O. J is something else.
This song is so fire, it's amazing that Jay-Z is still evolving at age 47
thanks to the internet "the industry" cant shelf you !
My name that's what's up. The message throught this album is a mighty 10 !!!
Here
Nas worked with Damian first now Jay-z wanna follow!
47 steelooo
"We're whistles, the wind go through us...we make the noise."
In this context he’s admitting to knowing him and many other of Satans children are Vessels to make that hell noise
Yes Jamaican people, I'm so proud that our culture has inspired artists from all over the world, the gem of the world is Jamaica, big up, Sister Nancy Jay-Z Junior Gong, we're African royalties that just got just boarded on different ships🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Ashley Reid Respect ! Westmoreland in da building BAM!
Distant Relatives is still the best duo with Gong. Jay is always late to the game yet up on the $$.
2022 and 4:44 is still my favorite album of all time and bam is hands down my favorite song off the album
I was never a huge Jay Z fan, but this is game changing
Jamaica will always be the home country for hip hop..Thats why so many rappers go there..Its like a pilgrimage..The way Mecca is for Muslims.
Yes - hip hop started in The Bronx, NY - via Kingston, Jamaica.
Anthony Steele facts. Start with missa kool herc
cerebral dome - if you were from NY - where hip hop was birthed - then you would know. Most of the US has no clue (just like they don't know most of the break dancers were Puerto Rican)... Maybe some in South Florida who had access to Jamaican dancehall would know too. The fact that you don't know history doesn't mean it's not a fact.
cerebral dome niggas like you wouldn't know real rap when it hit you. Accept facts bruh and stop hatin. Smh...
cerebral dome dude your an idiot, this is what u hate about my generation everyone wants to argue and shit but no one wants to research and find out the facts. Fact is hip hop was started by a JAMAICAN DJ in the Bronx who would play late 70's records with his turntable. The MC or master of ceremony would then perform Jamaican style TOASTING (rhythmic chanting) over the track which then evolved to rapping.

Wake up read a book and know your history my brother.....
I swear every single one of his songs is a whole new experience
I bet you complain about racism and inequality while you go on and hate on white people supporting black artists. Plus you know nothing about me besides my profile picture
Lana Luke tone it down not all white people are bad, stay away from negativity and enjoy life.
Lana Luke chill the fuck out
Lana Luke lol k
Lana Luke lmao
This song deserves more views come on guys ❤❤❤❤❤
Jay-Z still loves music and he is trying to get the youth to love it the same way. Good to see it. Music is so much more powerful of a tool for change than just trying to use it to churn out some money
TEFFT PATTERN
Thank you. It's too many young black millionaires racing to give that money to a white person. Think black empowerment not victimhood
Lol youcant even find the songs unless you have Apple Music.... seems like he did it for the money
Amen hallelujah
TEFFT PATTERN Music is such a beautiful instrument
Marco The Migo it's always about the money in business!!
So basically yall gonna ignore that Sister Nancy is the greatest artist of all time. Her vocals are phenomenal. Jay-Z, Damian Marley and Sister Nancy are great. This song is a work of Art I respect it. BIG UP
Sooooo basically this song was pure shit actually
Afrika Memani HER VOICE ON THE ORIGINAL SONG IS FIRE!!THAT SONG WILL TURN UP ANY BLOCK PARTY!!
Anything HOV makes is a masterpiece. A true artist!!!!!! Song is 🔥
This visit to Jamaica is why Jay-Z grow his dreads out 🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
True ❤😮😮😮😮😮
just stories you make up huh?
Damian is underrated and so is this song, I’ve seen him perform a few times and it was dope
7ll
Damien Marley is nowhere near underrated.
Everyone samples Sister Nancy. What a fucking legend 💖
PepeVEVO. Very true
LOVED HOW JAY INCLUDED SISTER NANCY IN THIS. THIS VIDEO FEELS SO NATURAL AND PURE
Please elaborate
4:09 that free styke of bambam. god i love this music
Luv the entire vibe from this vid, even tho it wasn't all about the song itself. Great seeing Sister Nancy being featured in too. Nuff luv and Respect

This is a master piece clear evidence that Jay is true black legend who isn’t getting respect that He deserves .
He got his respect in his days though. We went hard for Jay. He was all we had after Big and Pac got killed, really.. not really, but you feel me

keep it strong bros!
Gal don’t say it hard it betta
omeomy33 yes. Amen
I am i like this music
I rate Jayz for getting Sister Nancy in the video Bam Bam is a timeless Record
HOV really poured his soul into this album. He had a lot of his mind to say, and he did say them articulately. Not some "mumble rap" or "trap" music.
Nothing wrong with Trap music, it's just mumble rap.
Rayhan Akram Trap is not fucking mumble rap Jeezy Bankroll Fresh 2chainz Scooter Dolph nun of dem mumble foh
This some golf course music
Bello Atolagb
If you listen to old Jay he basically made trap music without the new day trap beats.
HOV is always switching it up.... that's why he remains relevant 20 years into his career! Legend
NO, he remains relevant by having a large corporation buy a million of his albums so it's guaranteed platinum. #Fakeplatinum
HubsDrunk he was gonna go platinum anyway
HubsDrunk dude I bought the album I ain't a corporation. Jayz on worse day will go Platinum easily. I'm a fan. Don't hate - love and peace.
HubsDrunk We all knew he was going to go platinum, even you knew that... just shut the fuck up please
HubsDrunk thank you thank you
Another fire song , Jay
Sooo thrilled to see Sister Nancy getting props! Fangirling right now! A living legend! Every time I see Tuff Gong Studios I get chills! Thank you for doing this one Kings Shawn and Damian! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Funniest moment to me lol.
RIGHT
Ass0 it's YOU DON'T SEE ME TOO ,don't forget he's Jamaican they don't use DIDN'T ,,,don't type what you don't know 😏
this is real art an homage paid to reggae music which is well deserved, he,s showing us the "root" of hiphop/rap.

Juzelle Kerr Your very pretty 😍😍😍😍
Corey Bragg Jr. thank you!! ❤️🌹
This right here can bring all the world together as one. Two Kings, direct sons of God! Lead out and lead on!❤️❤️
I think with all that's happened to Jay recently it's humbled him, taken him back to what's important.
You're absolutely right. Of course I'd rather him not make mistakes and all, but since you can't go back, I'm glad he made something great out of it.
Everyone in the Caribbean grows up with reggae music
drewb4u2 Canjam da fuq you mean!? 😃u wish
In Africa too I grown up with reggae
drewb4u2 Canjam I like JA but the Caribbean is more than just JA. What about Haiti, Trinidad& Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent& the grenadines, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Martens, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, Antiqua and the list goes on and on. So therefore JA is not just the Caribbean, that is just being bias cause you're Jamaican. Like I said I love JA and JA ppl but some of y'all are known to be bias. I'm Haitian I could of said my ppl change the meaning of freedom in the islands they were the first black freed republic in the Western Hemisphere. The Haitian revolution is very historic but I know what my African/Haitian ancestors did I do not have to be bias or brag about it.

Legendary JayZ $alute dope album🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jay feels at home. People could say Hi and not want to take pics for social media its just like welcome brother.
eric sase maybe but i don't think they will show that in the documentary
U clearly haven't seen the behind the scenes clips floating around youtube. There was pandemonium in Trench Town (heck, all across Ja) because of J's presence. The clean, empty shots were only for the purpose of the final cut of the video...
If it feels like home he should live there
eric sase they have no money for phones 😂😂😂
Bear Maxes you're sadly mistaken

A lot of great rappers are returning, evolving :)
I love to see my favorite people with my other favorite people
Freestyle bam bam is very powerful music it triggers sensations in your body that makes you feel good you could listen to music like this your whole life and not get tired of it
It don't matter who did it first, AS LONG AS IT GETS DONE, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GO BUT HAVE NOT. I tell you we are our own downfall these days. Nas and Jay Z are legends, what will you leave in this life to be remembered as a great? Soon as my bag is secure enough for me to go, I will make my journey to Africa and Jamaica.. tru..
Quenyetta Brown

jay-z keep dropping and dropping - the goat is back

What an amazing story of cultural memory making in a very authenic way was this video and song captured..Timeless...It ain't going NO WHERE the video is like the wind!
I'm asian and somehow I feel proud of the Jamaicans' culture
Spongebob Chicken that's great dude I mean I'm black and feel proud of the Hispanic culture ain't nothing wrong with it. In fact if all races were more proud of other cultures we wouldn't be caught in the racist clusterfuck of a society we're in today👍🏾
Yow what you mean by somehow?
Because he's not Jamaican...
Spongebob Chicken Because your ancestry stems from black roots do your research
uh...maybe cause I'm not Jamaican ? sorry but did I mention I'm asian ?
I'm not Jamaican but they are litt asffff
brianna perara Fax Bro they hella lit
brianna perara THANKS FOR THE APPRECIATION 🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️

Jay Z is a rapper but thinks like an businessman. There is the difference. Good job, Jay.

I remember spinning that BAM BAM record when i was a 10yr old 37 yrs ago in Trinidad....Big chune then..Mighty now..
This is a very informative doc about the orgins of hip hop !! alot of these so called rappers dont know bout this while they be dissing mumble rappers !!
The boss is showing you guys how the majority of Jamaicans live today. 🇯🇲🇯🇲 Big ups sed way.
I always said Jamaica invented rap. dancehall goes back to the 70's, hip-hop born in 80's N.Y. where many Jamaicans settled.
Kool Herc was Jamaican.
SEPHICHI DREAD yes..it came from dancehall..but it started in the 70's..it got COMMERCIAL ATTENTION in the 80's
KRS one Jamaican ancestory
SEPHICHI DREAD no they didn't apologize for the disappointment on history lessons of Hip Hop
Slim u no who Fela is?
Who's here right now playing this 🔥 song
In the beginning even before the gangsta lyricist is the intelligent world student.... it's Shawn's cultural intelligence that affords him the Broad creative abilities that he possesses in his work and thought. 🤔
Rest In Peace, Bob Marley.
Drake why u watchin this drake so u can copy somebody else and take their idea lmao im dead
