It died when the mumble rappers came out then drill Nas Big Pac storytelling was a big part of hiphop even Bone thugz and Harmony fast rappers not mumble rap its dead like nas said .
I heard this song my senior year in high-school over 10 years ago. I was days away from joining the national gaurd. This really made me rethink the decision. Thank you
I've known the citizen cope track for ages, just discovered rhymefest's remake. Gotta say, this is some top notch music right here. Like, it does not get much better.
There’s a war going on outside no one’s is safe from you can run but you cant hide…thats one of Prodigy from Mobb Deep lyrics this man could have given him a shot out RIP BANDANA P you will always be greatly missed
This is a beautiful collaboration of two great artists. Citizen Cope, so very handsome, here he looks like Johnny Deep with his hair pulled back. Ha. Like Johnny in the Pirates of Caribbean movies. Immaculate song, love this.
Wow, this disappeared from the internet for so long. I used to watch the AOL Sessions version 15ish? years ago (when AOL was still doing cool stuff). Still great.
Today I thought of this song and found it again, last time I heard it played I was in a Hollister store looking at their tv feed of the Pacific ocean. This song came on and I wrote it down. It's still a beautiful song. Listening in 2020. Thanks for putting it on youtube so long ago.
I’m real far behind and I thought I was right up n front,ha...I’ve been listening to citizen cope for a good while, but 2nite was the first I’ve seen or heard this, and I was caught off guard to tell ya the truth. What a team! These two were like 2! Puzzle pieces that fit perfect and the song was mixed like it was made for this version. What’s really crazy is the fact they did this awhile ago yet it fits right n to where things r today n this country. These two should b proud of themselves for putting something out that doesn’t fade away, and still causes awareness years down the road.
The lyrics in this song reminds me of the movie Dead Presidents! Als I recommend it. Also just relatable for where I am at this point in life. Amazing live performance
So Powerful and relatable. You should do a song with Ms. Dynamite or Lizzo.. 💖💖 Salaams. My sibling had to serve in Iraq 😞.. Our whole family against the wars..
He wasn't yo Kanye got it listen to 30 hours real friends and especially no mo parties in la he still knows how to flow and rhyme he just chooses not to he cares more bout expandin da sound and following trends not originated as much he still got it he need to try mo
Nope-even Consquence wrote and many others. Do your research...Kanye's mom PAID for those beats to get on Blueprint too...dude's an insustry asset and entity-why do you think he's going crazy?
I.T.L Roc He can rap he gets helps so does many other hip hop artists its not bad too have artists help u his music is so real consequence says that he just helps and that he helped him become mo technical so ha also he was always crazy everyone is he has toned it down know that he's married and has 2 kids your talking bout 2013 ye who was crazy
Rhymefest and kanye and consequence flows sound different Kanye west has a better voice and a way word. Consequence and Rhymefest have average weird voices.
true lyrical storytelling hiphop...where the hell did hip hop go ?
It's still here, you just need to know what to listen too :p
Just caught Rhymefest live last year with Doomtree
ab that's why Nas released the album with the title... it died.. there's still a couple Cole and Kendrick
It died when the mumble rappers came out then drill Nas Big Pac storytelling was a big part of hiphop even Bone thugz and Harmony fast rappers not mumble rap its dead like nas said .
@@thenemesis7058 that comment was four years ago...RAP is definitely trash now!
Where did true lyr ical storytelling hip hop go? Underground.
Finally remembered the name of this song. 2023 ✨✊🏾✨
This is such an amazing performance, here I am nine years later still vibing it
Fuck yeah Dean

I love how Cope can jive with rappers and also play with guitar legends like Clapton and Santana. Everyone loves Cope!
He’s the capybara of the music industry
As a tribesmen, I get it now. It took me 8 years… forgive me god but I get it! I get your music ohhhhhh lord but what you done heeeeeur!
Month away from 2022 n we still here!!!!
This shit gives me chills. Rhymefest is too real.
There’s a war going on outside no one’s is safe from you can run but you cant hide…thats one of Prodigy from Mobb Deep lyrics this man could have given him a shot out RIP BANDANA P you will always be greatly missed
One of the best live collaborations ever.. Effortless sound and poignant lyrics

im barely read for rock rap collabs in 2021
remember 10+ years ago when this came out and made impact. Just now, ... bet you nodding. Laughing at the end of divine goosebumps. 😌😌
And I felt that.

Alternative hip hop, indie rock, R&B
So relevant today in 2017!

This is my favorite version of this song.
Love this! Love rap/rock collaborations. Gives me chills in a good way.
GODDAMN Rhymefest went in!!!!!
*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
“This is what a poor person does for a scholarship.”
😭😱😭😰😭😱😭
RhymFest is nice! He's underrated!!!
This was outstanding
Wish all music was like this. Real life not that mainstream force fed bs. You guys rock
listen to Bas-too high to riot and Tut- preachers son
This is amazing....never heard it before.
Inspiring and awesome
Can't believe I had only heard the album cut without the citizen cope verse, shit is crazy
most slept on song for years. 😔

I just finished Life of Pablo. And I miss when Rhymefest was Kanye's ghostwriter.

“Wow that was fucking hype.” Literally what I said aloud after hearing this version.
Why does song skip at 2:03?
December 2018
what the fuck? this is kind of the best playback ever
WOW. Very Cool. (Though the song's tragic.)
Kanye gotta call this guy back
Prodigy lyrics at the start?
iLLuminatus!
J Records / Interscope Records

Pretty sure he taught kanye to rhyme
jesus is the way to the light
Shut up. You have no idea if that's true or not. Let's no drag your religious opinions into it.
amogus
I would have performed this for my High School Talent Show if the part about sex and aids wasn't included..
Roten Auwn Ridiculous - this song is completely acceptable and had a good message! Schools just love to censor, don't they?
wen i see a 30sec adds i just quit lol
patrick nepton your loss!
2025 ha
jeffrey manor
Dude got robbed at gun point
Would be better if citizen cope actually sing
The second verse is so bad.
2 people are seriously ignorant and have no taste in music. Go back to listening to your lil Wayne leave the good music to the people with taste
Lil Wayne makes a lot of good music too.
+Jonathan Anaya use to
❤❤❤
Good music
