"I oughta quit, maybe I oughta not, I thought a bit about for a second so probly not" in terms of rap bars that stick in your brain and just stay there this one takes the cake
Every now and then, I come back to this and some other Vic's timeless classics. I wish he still made these smooth lyrical jazz like raps rather than the indie cosmic-psychedelic garage rock tracks he is into nowadays. But you do you Kool, stay wavy
kool is seriously one of the best rappers I have ever heard. Some people may find this funny, but his stream of conscious flow reveals pearls of originality. Something that is so rare in hip hop today.
"...If I thought about it hard - could I levitate?" You can be technically skilled all you want but having beautiful thoughts like these is a sign of true talent and a beautiful inner world contained within that person.
"... and do we need shoes or should we grow calluses and hold chalices of old gold in shabaz palaces, how many malnourished asian kids have you fed today, is adderall covered by medicaid? Is pacceow welter or featherweight? Is chris angel effeminate? If I thought about it hard could I levitate? Just answer, don't hesitate" FUCKING. BARS.
This is such a fucking gem for hip hop. When kool actually tries and raps like this it's soooo dope he knows how to spit funny bars and then switch to spitting facts. Forever one of my favorite mcs
Love how it's just Vic and Amaze 88 that are actually doing shit, and even then, half the time Amaze 88 is just drinking a soda or standing around, letting the beat play.
@@ThereThereSquare nah, as a guitarist i can confirm he's not playing, at least here. he does do real chord shapes but he's playing nonsense, there's no structure to it lol
I asked chat GBT to do an analysis “ In the song “Drum Diary,” Kool A.D. critiques Malcolm Gladwell for oversimplifying complex social science topics and making generalized claims that may lack scientific rigor. Gladwell’s style, which often prioritizes narrative over scientific accuracy, has attracted criticism for appearing to validate social theories without the backing of thorough research. Kool A.D. echoes critiques of Gladwell’s “pop science” approach, implying that his work, while engaging, may contribute to superficial understanding rather than deep insights into complex issues .”
My top 5 fav rappers: Blu from Los Angeles, KOOL A.D from Oakland, Jeremiah Jae from Chicago, Mach Hommy from NJ, n Mf Grimm from NY .. honorable mention: KirbLaGoop from Florida
Man, Victor you the dude, man. It probably doesn't mean much to you but you are a mad inspiration to me and my friends here in Auburn, Al. Mad Love, dude. Thanks. ( As I watch this shit for the 40th time).
Definitely one of the top ten Malcolm Gladwell diss tracks.
Definitely an outlier track.
lmfao
This is the most quality comment on the Internet.
worst diss on the list, third coolest
jaaacccckK very good
I told kool that my dad died and he sent me some of his art. This is my favorite song of his. Truest bruh.
I watch this every day.
08bourquem That's great, but i really think you should try listening to it.
Koettnylle
having trouble hearing that guitar!
08bourquem It looks cool though.
Same af. ...kool ad best fucking rapper
I walk in the door
smell like a medicine store
"I oughta quit, maybe I oughta not, I thought a bit about for a second so probly not" in terms of rap bars that stick in your brain and just stay there this one takes the cake
Kool AD, cold but sweet like a otter pop
that beat is ON POINT
Prod. Amaze 88

Same!
facts this is timeless fr
kool is seriously one of the best rappers I have ever heard. Some people may find this funny, but his stream of conscious flow reveals pearls of originality. Something that is so rare in hip hop today.
He also writes great horoscopes.
Couldn't agree more with you on this. Genius quality
Matt Bourque plus he has his own style and flow. he don’t sound like every rapper rapping. you
I feel like homeboy sandman does this laid back style better. This is a bit simplistic and repetitive.
Truly is. He can spit funny bars and switch to witty shit that makes you bob your head in agreement lol.
I'm telling you Kool ad is the most uder rated rapper of all time
underrated
+Kamel Purnell you can edit ur comments u know lol
I would have but i was drunk on youtube..hasselhoff
+Kamel Purnell oooooo
+Kamel Purnell Ha!
This dude's style is so fresh.
nothing short of amazing
he held that beat for over 8 minutes, i'd like to see most mainstream rappers even hold it for 5
"...If I thought about it hard - could I levitate?" You can be technically skilled all you want but having beautiful thoughts like these is a sign of true talent and a beautiful inner world contained within that person.
instead of brushing my teeth in the morning i listen to this song
+Clarence Murphy this is what the other 1/10 dentists recommend
Maybe brush your teeth as you listen lol
I can't I'm rapping along
instead of wiping my ass after i shit i brush my teeth
Makes sense
kool's multisyllabic rhyme game is hella underappreciated. probably one of the best ever
do you mean keith, g rap, or ad? they're all pretty good at it
Probably the most impressive rap to yet be created
Thx
Kool A.D. best rapper in the world
for real
KOOL A.D. GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME DEAD OR ALIVE !! KOOL A.D BEST RAPPER !!!
Holy shit.. 2021 needs AD cipher
Please come back to the future you beautiful humin
Coming back to this years later and I still get chills from Kool's undeniable mastery of M.C.ing or whatever you want to call this
The beat is sooo soothing
Thank you! Kool A.D. is good, but that beat is pure fire!
I'll never, ever get tired of watching this. One of my favourite performances on TH-cam any genre.
one of the greatest lyrical exercises ever dropped
Always come back to this a few times a year
Kool's metaphors are the best in the game
Visual guitar solo.
Hella wavy,
"Used to spark a lot in the parking lot
You could call me Sir Sparkalot"
DAMN son I felt that, 🦆☭🦢
"... and do we need shoes or should we grow calluses
and hold chalices of old gold in shabaz palaces,
how many malnourished asian kids have you fed today,
is adderall covered by medicaid?
Is pacceow welter or featherweight?
Is chris angel effeminate?
If I thought about it hard could I levitate?
Just answer, don't hesitate"
FUCKING. BARS.
Pacquiao haha but yes bars

what does that even mean
seen him live, and the guitarist is his hype man. never actually plays it.
Lul no shit?
Clearly
Bet he’s monitoring his guitar and listening to some great jams that will only ever be listened to by him

p.omegranates fair haha me only hit boom booms so only see the rhythms haha
Kool AD will never change and it is the best- that's all i guess
the goat
this is really good
for real
such a lovely and soothing voice n one of the cutest laughs i've ever heard. im in love
sounds like a pure of the top freestyle
A hunnid dolla freestyle
Amazing
Killed it 4 sure.
no one can touch this. the koolest rhyme spat
finally this got a release!! YES
Spent ages looking for this song after watching 'motivation 3'. I can rest in peace now
LEGENDARY
dope performance of a dope rap song extra different levels to Kool AD raps
KING AD
this is starting to be like my morning cup of coffee
The guitarist is killin me lol I really wanna know what that sounded like😂. Track is dope tho what a solid beat
He's literally not playing it the entire video
That was me. Half the time I'd play 'Nothing' by the hardcore band Negative Approach so that if someone asked I could be like "oh it's Nothing"
so the whole musicians at the back is just props and they just play the beat?? 😂
Mad i enjoy your songs :) 2021 1st of January from Sydney Happy New Year Kool AD
i'm still listening
I'm so happy to see this has so many views now
this is too good.
Such a cool vib and flow
Soo good
Jesu Cristo diablos this nigga incinerated that microphone!!! Fuck I didn't know he was this good!!
this dude sells paintings on Instagram now
He's been doing that the whole time

@@Mouchaa The Thrash? How is it? Hope you secured an A on the paper
Man I love this shit, I just wonder why he didn't spit like this on DR records.
Pretty cool.. Heard it on The motivation 3... hugs from Brazil bro!
Post-modern futurist like last century. He's amazing to watch. "Visual guitar solo" Just higher level art shit.
GOOD JOB KOOL A.D.

That’s an analysis of the first line. AI can’t keep up!!
2:57 'empty three B E E R S into the gullet' at the same time amaze88 with the can o' beer; now that's a band!
Timing impeccable

Aesop Rock collabing with Kool AD. Wouldnt that be Kool .

He listens to German hip hop for sure. Freundeskreis, older Deichkind, Eins Zwo, etc.. I can Hear the influence in the flows.
