I never even knew there was a remix to this song. Heard it on the radio and was so blown away. This song is so incredibly REAL, there's no beating it. All the artisits are HOTTTTT. Lyrical content is AMAZING.
This right here is exactly "Why" Jadakiss, along with his entourage of featured lyrical assassins are exactly what our Hip-Hop culture needs more than ever... poetic, sedated CONSCIOUSNESS that never neglects to uplift and enlighten the masses.
Cause they don’t care bout black people, but that Asian hate crime (which is very necessary and I’m happy it got passed) was passed very very very fast 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
When Nas said hip hop was dead he wasn't lying. I know there always be underground people doing it as a hobby n maybe a side hustle but all these industry dudes are poprap
WHY DID MALCOLMS MISSION DIE WIT THE MAN, why we ain’t picked it up and carry out his plan - this is some of the hardest intro bars I’ve ever fucking heard
ever listen to AZ? He is the prime example of genius that was held back because of what he stood for. Check out his first album "Do Or Die" if you never have. its probably my favorite album
I'm dead serious when I say what I'm about to say. This song just might get my vote for the best rap song of all time, and I've listened to tons of songs by tons of artists.
@@pirooby1 Good for you. Let me tell you though, I've listened to so much more hip-hop since I wrote that (close to ten years ago) so my favorites are a little different these days. But great song still!
“Why they care about yo son’s braids more than his grades?!?” Song been out but resonates today to how they kicked students out of school here in Texas over dreadlocks.
Damn some of yall are late I remember when this came out its when kiss original why was still hot and this came and almost made us forget about the original as far as best verse goes all of these dudes are mcs I love so u can't go wrong with anybody but I have to go wit Styles P u listen to his verse now and it is still resonates today in 2016! #Styles P underrated
damn, i remember kiss of death dropping in the middle of a hot summer 2004. took a bus to the mall to buy it. this remix wasnt on it, but still a fire album 🔥🔊
Because most people ain't educated enough to play the real music.Believe it God put some of the best rappers together to make some of the best songs and also the best albums. This is why it's good to be a good song writer.
I remember when I first heard this on HOT97 in 2004, when Common said "why don't we impeach him, and elect Obama" I thought to myself that would be nice to elect Obama, but will never happen. Proud to say I was wrong about that!
Malachi Campbell cuz he aint, i mean he doesnt exist but if he did he would be mixed with white and a bit darker people so you would call him white, i mean santa aint black either, not that i care jesus could be a fucking mammal with 8 penises i dont care but just answering your/his question/line.
"Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama" Common said that in 2004. Obama didnt announce he was running for until 2007...my mind if officially blown!
The connection quite simple when you think about it. Obama was a fast rising star in Chicago Politics, he had a buzz about him in the Illinois Senate, he also gained Bipartisan Support on most of his Social Issues ie health and welfare reforms. By 2004 came he was an open opponent of Bush’s 2003 Invasion of Iraq, he even spoke at Chicago Anti-war Rallies I believe. At the time Chicago rap was on the rise with many from Southside where Obama is from and was his Political base. Common is from Calumet Heights, also follow Chicago rappers like Lupe Fiasco, Da Brat and Twista have put similar lines in their raps too.
'Why don't we build our own airlines, fly to Africa do some trade with Zimbabwe' straight fire!
Nas is fly!!!
Why they hate our white t-shirts and hats turned backwards, why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors 🐐
I read this comment as soon as this part played
Nyika yemadzibaba...glad Nas mentions our country Zimbabwe
All these brothers came correct with it, but Nas' verse just has a certain aura about it that makes it stand out amongst the other three great verses.
that's always how it is with Nas
Finessed Analyzer ya )
Word. Nas the general.
Nas that dude
8 words in you knew it was already the best verse.
Common snapped the hardest
"Why you worried bout my clothes when my flow gon' change the world?"
Jada is my favorite hands down, but Common definitely had the best verse on that song. You must be listening to the wrong song
All of them snap on here.
Love Common, I'm friends with 2 of his cousins. Grew up with them so I was introduced to his music early
💯
“Why you kill on the song yet frown on the screen there’s so many thrones while we argue who is king”
WHY is it 2020 and these bars are still relevant!?
Why is it 2022 and rappers still can’t emulate hiphop?
why is it 2023 and the mind still ain't free
Because nothing changes but the weather.
and in late 2024!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾
If this was made today, in 2014, it would not be played on radio. Times have changed.
Nas always kick start his line with seemingly complex and unique style.
Nas said Jada as is real as it gets, lmao, thats why I love LOX, people aint got shit on them!
U pop shit apologise just ask kiss
As a native Alabamian The Lox, Kiss, Styles are my ninjas
I never even knew there was a remix to this song. Heard it on the radio and was so blown away. This song is so incredibly REAL, there's no beating it. All the artisits are HOTTTTT. Lyrical content is AMAZING.
Everybody snapped. Y'all stop comparing great men. Let's celebrate their talent and enjoy the music. Shit has message and that's it..🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿
This right here is exactly "Why" Jadakiss, along with his entourage of featured lyrical assassins are exactly what our Hip-Hop culture needs more than ever... poetic, sedated CONSCIOUSNESS that never neglects to uplift and enlighten the masses.
Why is this song still relevant to todays issues?
exactly
Cause it's that real shit right here!!!! Never mine of that bum ass mumble shit hop!!!!
John Simmons n
Cause they don’t care bout black people, but that Asian hate crime (which is very necessary and I’m happy it got passed) was passed very very very fast 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
That's a bar
"Why is garbage music selling a lot and why is the music industry state of mind real far from Hip Hop"
right
Jr Ryder, that's period point blank! He killed the track with the opening verse......so accurate.
Charles N No doubt bro. He set the tone. These dudes speaking truth on this track
Why a whip and a chain the black American dream? A whip and a chain, yo!
When Nas said hip hop was dead he wasn't lying. I know there always be underground people doing it as a hobby n maybe a side hustle but all these industry dudes are poprap
Did Common say "Why a whip and a chain the Black American dream?" 😳😳😳😳
meaning a car and jewelry, also meaning they still enslaved
That's a true lyric right there this what you call lyricism common seriously underrated
Damn! That's a bar!
"why ain't Rick James not remembered for classic hits?/why do we remember Rick for smacking a bitch" best quote from Common in this hot remix!!!!
Johnny White Church!!!!!!
Chappelle's show!
WHY DID MALCOLMS MISSION DIE WIT THE MAN, why we ain’t picked it up and carry out his plan - this is some of the hardest intro bars I’ve ever fucking heard
This song should never left any Hip Hop station! It should be played every top of the hour everywhere! Peace! #vote!!!!!
Very timeless! Powerful ! Still relevant!
Why it took Jada to appear in 3 verzuz to get his flowers ?
This is to revalant rite now. Wake up bro n sisters, we are kings n queens
2021 and this song still going hard.
jada should remake this song every year, same beat, new issues
Heavily slept on song its a damn shame 💪💪
12 years later, nothing's changed
Another 5 years later, nothings changed.
@@coldkid6Another 2 years nothing's changed
This was one of my favorite Common verses and remixes
"Why is it the money motivates me, but the love keeps me grounded?"
- Jada
4 Of The Best Rappers Alive

Dam they murdered that remix
honestly all four of there verses was deep, but Common and Nas stood out more
Styles P. "Why build more jails less schools? CAUSE WE ARE UNDER ATTACK "
Common had the best verse. “they said I changed for a girl why you care about my clothes when my flow gone change the world”
This song was the shit then now and forever! Sad that so many years later the lyrics still ring true!
"Why it took for me to make why for y'all to listen"
One the best remixes ever why is this not on iTunes
It bout to be 2022 and im still here! 🔥
1 of his best tracks to date/ever
“Why they care about yo son’s braids more than his grades?!?” Song been out but resonates today to how they kicked students out of school here in Texas over dreadlocks.
Pure hip hop
THIS TRACK WILL ALWAYS BE FIREZ!!!
Why you gotta teach your kids on your own...cuz you get in the zone...they bringin you in you both gettin CLONED.....Styles P...

Love to NY from Great Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 thugs dont die,

Exactly!
He was the hook of this song, just like he was on the original.
Common caught a homicide on this ... then Nas
Nas killed it🙌🏿
styles going hard and telling the truth
There are so many thrones, why we arguing who is the king? -Common

May 21 2023 and this is still 🔥🔥
damn, i remember kiss of death dropping in the middle of a hot summer 2004. took a bus to the mall to buy it. this remix wasnt on it, but still a fire album 🔥🔊
One of my top 5 remixes.
NaS.. just NaS.. Anything he touch spits on is fire..
"Why is Bush acting like he tryna catch Osama? Why don't we impeach him then elect Obama" Common was a prophet on this one. He had the foresight.
It just so happened that Obama brought Osama to justice. That I'll give him credit for.
This song sound like it just came out timeless classic.
Throwback 😎
Because most people ain't educated enough to play the real music.Believe it God put some of the best rappers together to make some of the best songs and also the best albums.
This is why it's good to be a good song writer.
Why Team USA keep getting blown out!
I remember when I first heard this on HOT97 in 2004, when Common said "why don't we impeach him, and elect Obama" I thought to myself that would be nice to elect Obama, but will never happen.
Proud to say I was wrong about that!
Nas slayed it
common sent a good message on his verse
20 years ago, I heard about Obama for first time ever from common's verse but more importantly why is this remix not on Spotify, Why ?
Redeem team brought me here
Common smoked it....🎤🎶🔥🔥
anthony hamilton hammers it
I love this remix and it's Deep. yet so True.
BTW Why isn't this remix allowed on Itunes?
"why it for me to make 'why' for y'all to listen?", Jada!
Wish I could like it again
This song is still a classic! Why team usa keep get blown out!
2021 still listening to this classic
Common is a prophet
#InstantClassicc!
Hymn
still the best remix ever
Still bumping In 2024 hard hitting remix!
Classic Rap song by Jadakiss and Styles P-(of The LOX Rap Group) Common, Nas and Anthony Hamilton. For real everyone. Yes.
CLASSIC joint!!
"Why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors"
Malachi Campbell bar made my jaw drop. Nas brought it and then some...
No lol
Malachi Campbell cuz he aint, i mean he doesnt exist but if he did he would be mixed with white and a bit darker people so you would call him white, i mean santa aint black either, not that i care jesus could be a fucking mammal with 8 penises i dont care but just answering your/his question/line.
Row Blanka mixed with white?
Row Blanka you know historically Jesus DID exist right? I'm not saying he waa the son of God or anything but he was real....
"Why a whip and a chain the black american dream"
Still fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama
Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama"
Common said that in 2004. Obama didnt announce he was running for until 2007...my mind if officially blown!
Chaz Brewer that keynote speech at the 2004 democratic convention.
if you grew up kenyan american you saw it coming that early. i imagine for those in chicago like common it was the same
The connection quite simple when you think about it. Obama was a fast rising star in Chicago Politics, he had a buzz about him in the Illinois Senate, he also gained Bipartisan Support on most of his Social Issues ie health and welfare reforms. By 2004 came he was an open opponent of Bush’s 2003 Invasion of Iraq, he even spoke at Chicago Anti-war Rallies I believe. At the time Chicago rap was on the rise with many from Southside where Obama is from and was his Political base. Common is from Calumet Heights, also follow Chicago rappers like Lupe Fiasco, Da Brat and Twista have put similar lines in their raps too.
real respects real, gotta respect these people.
I know the original was fire but this shit is on another level the flow the lyrics woow 2018 dammn shame i heard it just now
Probably The Top 4 Rappers Alive On This Track In My Opinion.
The only rapper missin is X then this would have all the kings
that nas verse he is the best honestly
I've been looking for this long ago, it wasn't posted. Nas did his thing as well as did everybody else.
jadakiss, styles p, and nas is so talented
Don't forget common!
Wow!!!!!! 🔥, real hip hop. Culture! Blessed be these icons
