  • @elusivejahnell
    @elusivejahnell 4 ปีที่แล้ว +596

    I just want to say this; this song was made at a moment in time, pre 9/11, when it appeared that globalisation was a positive thing and the world was coming together. Hip Hop CULTURE was travelling to Berlin and Marseille, Tokyo and Stockholm, Jakarta and Marrakech...right on the cusp of being commodified beyond recognition. People connecting across borders was natural, and the new millennium promised a new dawn of intercultural peace and optimism... The song is haunting now, but still brings back happy, if a little naive...m e m o r i e s

    • @davidmitchell3997
      @davidmitchell3997 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      John Pitts I wouldn't say this song is "haunting" instead it's timeless; better than the mumble pseudo rap bs that comes out nowadays. As for everything that happened after the 2000's (which despite 9/11 were still better times than the 2010's and so forth) was the result of the drastic major events that occurred mostly during the 1980's and 1990's (i.e. war on drugs, war on terror, violent radicalism, severe classim rise of LBGTQ, third wave feminism, etc.) and let's not forget all these "outbreaks" that had occurred since 2001 like SARS, West Nile, Swine Flu, Ebola, Zika and now Corona. So yeah once 9/11 happened, it slowly turned today's society into a nightmare for most and a complete joke towards the current generations (late millenials and Gen Z).

    • @elusivejahnell
      @elusivejahnell 4 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      @@davidmitchell3997 I wouldn't say it's 'timeless' at all. I think it sounds anachronistic in today's landscape. Classic, yes, but not timeless. It very much sounds like late 90s Hip-Hop. It's haunting because it represents a culture that, in my opinion, no longer exists. And even though I agree the 00s seemed better than the 10s, you can still look at 9/11 as the fracture that was unrepairable and connected to the failure of centrism. I absolutely agree that we're witnessing the ramifications of mistakes made in the 80s and 90s, and the arrogance of Fukuyama 'end of history' thinking. I'm nostalgic about the optimism in those decades, but certainly not romantic about what their legacy is. I also want to return to this word 'haunting' - I think this song, video and the era it represents is haunting because it embodies the notion of a future that never came to be.

    I grew up a block away from DJ Honda's studio in the 90s. First time I heard of Mos Def was from his street team promoting Black on Both Sides. Little did I know it was by the Rawkus Records office, where I eventually got to interview Talib Kweli for my college paper when he dropped Quality. Mad Skillz came thru while I was waiting in reception. Also saw Mos perform back to back nights at the Bowery Ballroom solo and with his band Blackjack Johnson. Q-Tip, Common and Pharoahe Monch were special guests. Some of my greatest memories. Sorry for all the name dropping.

We were so fortunate and lucky to be young during this time. I know its a broken record but the 1990s were the absolute peak of our civilization. Everything was new. The future was right around the corner. 1999 and beyond. If we only knew what we were in for we may have had the chance to find a different future. They may take away our youth, our freedoms, tax us to death, etc, etc. But they cant take away our memories. If you were there you knew how cool it was to be there. Peace yall. Never stop dancing.

    Ridin in my white ‘92 Honda Accord…. My first ride with factory system, DJ HONDA in the tape deck. Circa 1998. I bumped this tape non stop, funny I still know all the words. Even got the cassette in my graduation memory box.

    Great song, so smooth... Mos Def is one of the few artists who can really turn your life in the right direction with their music and that's exactly what he has done to me. I'm so grateful to him and the others (Black Thought, Common, Talib Kweli, Guru, ...) for this. Let's just hope that this kind of music will make a return someday in the future...

Saw this guy and Bali later in 2014 and had the most incredible trip on Kuta beach which correlates so delightful in memory to keep myself centred during bad times. One of my favourite tracks eva

      ***** Do you have any recommendations of hip hop music with a similar vibe to this. Whether I look at mainstream or underground, old school or today's hip hop, I can't find a song similar to this one. The mixed influence coming from Japan and America make it truly unique.
