*Classic!* This whole album is absolutely incredible! It has helped me many times in my life.. The music Common Market creates, is truly one of a kind. Same for Blue Scholars. Thank you for the timeless music 😊🙏🏾 Peace & Love 💙✌🏾🎨⛅
Straight up.
I hope Sabzi bring the groups back in the studio....
Big fan of Common market and blue scholars here from Holland!
3 hours ago didn't even now that common market exists.
Now one of my favorite bands :)
Bless up!
With his type of voice, he can just flow for hours. Never stop. Not one break. It's just CONSTANT flow and material.
HAVE to respect that.

Hes gotta pay his respects to Talib for his cadence and sound. Its uncanny
One is born and dies a Djeli. One is a Djeli from father to son, from grand father to father; from mother to daughter, from grandmother to mother. The Djeli is the inseparable link between the being and the spirit, between the woman or man and her or his history, between society and its vivifying blood. What we now call an MC/DJ, is nothing else than a surviving legacy of this sacred ancestral West African tradition born into a New World.
The djeli is a story-teller, poet, historian, philosopher, genealogist, and the archive of his or her people's traditions. The Djeli is a messenger, a broadcaster of good and bad news whether baptism, wedding, fetes, meeting, assembly, death, or war. S/he is also a troubadour who with a drum under arm carries the news from village to village. She or he performs the role of the radio, telephone, and television. The djeli profession is inherited, passed on from one generation to the next.
Let us begin with the voice and rhythm of so called Hip-Hop and where it originated from in West Africa, to no coincidence where the bulk of Africans were accosted and brought here as slaves. In West African culture you have a lineage of both males and females who played the traditional role of what's known as a griot or djeli. Djeli's held the memory of their people in their hearts, preserving history through a vast repertoire of richly detailed chronicles set to music.
i'm french, and i love this guy !!
France loves this guy !!
Tout le monde
Radio, Bet, MTV..... Not ready for this; nor Blue Scholars. Too much thought put into these verses for these knuckleheads that they pander to! I'm blown away!
Zia Mohajerjasbi's a lighting genius
I love the beginning of this video. So true.
Woah just checked out your channel after all this time. Honored to get a response from someone that's close to this extremely talented artist. Tell'em to keep cranking out the music, he still has fans! (even here on Whidbey Island)
It can only be authenticated by the transfer of bloodlines and DNA. No one but the African is qualified enough to speak of what it means to be African but the African. Everyone else only speaks from the periphery and fails to accurately consolidate the entire cultural experience into living word over rhythm. Whether we MC, DJ, or not we ARE still Hip Hop. We ARE the living embodiment of the spirit of Hip Hop. Everyone else only follows what we do in Hip Hop/African Culture. This is undeniable.
This was filmed in the gold ol' town of Monroe, WA. My friend told me she was in this video as a dancer and i didnt believe her until i saw it. REPRESENT!
one of the best videos i've seen this year.
Dope as always. Ra Scion's beard looks like it was chiseled out of wood!
This man is like THIS IS SPARTAAAA!
this guy's voice doesnt do justice to how badass he looks. iv heard him many a times and never realized he looked so brolic. he makes for one hard looking country boy
... i couldn't stop boppin' :D
Common Market represent. Doin it up for Washington! That's my boy
I liked for all of the following...
...The white chick rapping at him when he was pinned up against the door, his overalls, his lyrics, his unrelenting force of words, Sabzi's sick beat spewing epic sauce everywhere, and last but not least...
...RA's beard.
This video is tight,and his CD is off the chain without question!!!

My young children, simmer down. There is but one of me and many of you who showed up for class today so allow me due time to address each one of your grievances. I feel privileged to be the source of inspiration for such lively dialogue. You have all provided me with much entertainment and I thank you for that.
Wow, M. This is fantastic!
This bops!
common market slap!!!!
its hustle biz, what the trouble is? thats what i say to my parents when they question my stacks..... This man is a musical gem.
This song is epic!
Big Up Common Market, everytime!
You do not see Hip Hop as a unique expression of African culture because it has been taken outside of its context and turned into a free marketplace for anyone to place their bidding. Whether you like it or not the descendants of Africa will always carry the preeminent pulse of Hip Hop. It's ancestral and embedded within our genetic memory lie the subconscious living experiences of our ancestors who created and carried on these traditions. This cannot be cloned or replicated.
The barber shop scene got me rollin.. Hahaha.. Good stuff
Why cant much music and other music stations but good stuff like this on? I'm tired of seeing people who do not deserve that time on the air...
If you go to their website, he actually takes the time to explain the lyrics, line by line. SICK.
Does it still exist?

The DJ is Sabzi and he is the beatmaster for both the blue scholars and common market so show a little bit of respect.

The song at the end is called Nothing At All by Common Market....read the comments people.

This is the first time i've heard Common Market... Dayum! I've been missing out!!! btw at some points in this video i thought i saw Keith Jardine lol... ufc fighter... anywayz this is some GOOD MUSIC! Vevo better not get this :D haha
Common Market - Nothin' At All
Word? I didn't know that. good info

Does anyone know the beat that plays at the end as he's getting into the truck?
it's called "nothin' at all," which is also on the tobacco road album. :)
helll yea lumbajack
i used 2 hate his beard but i now love the way it looks
what's the name of the song plating in the car at the end??

This is a dope video. Very well made. My only criticism is the bullies... haha!
@Herisk "Nothin At All" It's also on their Tobacco Road album
Cool fact: I asked RA Scion what it cost to film in Monroe, WA. He said not a goddamn thing hahaha
I Got A Song - Common Market off the same album as Trouble Is..., Tobacco Road.
2:30 I went across that bridge yesterday :)
Its a crying shame that i stumbled onto this watching other random videos. Goddamn, makes me wanna start a radio station, tv station, newspaper something!!! When I was younger I thought it was just no mass-media catered to my groups needs and likes, but now I know we're shoved shit to keep us stupid.
Get this CD, buy the MP3s, turn on your peoples, and lets live learn and grow, regardless of established ways of thinking.
real hip hop
Hey does anyone know the name of the song being played in the van at the end? sounds so familiar..
what is that song at the end of the video being played in the car?
I wish that choir was in my church, it'd be poppin in there lol. What other songs does he have music videos with??
the song at the end is called "nothin at all"
also by common market
