My father once told me that a beat is like a wave: you must glide and flow on it and you will become obe with the beat. Instead of others who force it and yell or rap fast with no flow and they will get devourerd by the beat like a wave does with a bad surfer. Than i heard mos and i showed it to my father and then he told me that this is how rap should be.
It is. Unfortunately majestic creations are usually unappreciated and most of the POPulation haven't touched those masterpieces. Mos Def is the most diversed rapper in the history. Great friend of Dave Chapelle who is known as THE G.O.A.T / GENIUS in stand-up. Mos Bey can write poetry to every kind of beat; freestyle on an alien level; sing; dance; act in movies. HE IS RAP. HE IS HIP-HOP. He is from New York - the Mekka of HIP-HOP. So forever respect and best wishes to Yasiin Bey. PS These types of songs should be listened by new generations, not "Alejandro" of Lady Gaga and "Call me maybe".
@@CFLaserLungs You cant get this on a physical CD, the song is not for sale. Only the instrumental is. Ski couldnt get the Mos Def verses cleared and took them off the album. There is a song called Taxi and a song called Prowler 2 that you should look up. Both have Mos Def on them.
Peace...Peace, Peace It's the Bey Thank you very kindly, Masha'Allah You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us We truly appreciate that Bey...

Did anyone else see how dude was paying homage to Michael Jackson with the subtle dance moves? Mos DEF is MOST DEFINITELY one of those thoughtful lyricists that loves the art.
Unbelievable...Mos Def one of them dudes that been doin big things for Brooklyn for a minute but never really gets the respect he deserves. Ill shit right there man
He is probably top 1 "deserved much more credit than he was given" most people just didn't realize how intensely deep his music can get I can't even really call him a rapper, he's just a pure musician that uses rap elements

One of the greatest and most slept on rappers.
The moment I hear your voice Mos, I just start to smile because I know the words I'm about to hear are going to be pure and mindblowing
This shit is pure artistic perfection.

Ski beats & Mos def, classic still bumping in 2019 💯
"Vibrant in the dark at the speed of thought
Wow, the mind's so powerful
It ain't all for your dreams, it's surrounding you."
PuRe GrEaTnESs!!!!🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍, Hip-hop, at it's finest.
Masterpiece
I've been a fan of Mos Def for a long time this is my first time hearing this.
Jonathan Brown me too at the moment
Can’t find it for sale on mainstream either. :(
I bought it online in 2010. This album "24 hour karate school" was released without two mos def tracks due to sample clearance issues.
@@bobbiedigital you have to grab the physical CD instead

this is real hip hip/rap should be getting at least more than 20 million views for real
this is million dollar music...
one of my favorite songs and videos....just straight mood
Thank God 4 real HipHop
this is almost if not the purest form of hip hop i have seen in a long time. I wish youtube had a repeat button damn

He has the most chill vibes, god this is so good.
2019-9999 Timeless • Classic to this day. I learned from greats....
Mos Def can put me in a place where I can just relax & sit back.
Just smoke some weed & listen to the words.
Love that shit :D
I can't get enough of this song.... between the beat, and the effortless rhyme...
Just.. ugh!

The visuals are great too!
I'm satisfied :)
If you want to understand how much I love this artist study infinite connections his vibes is magnetic I don't care who understands it I'm listening ❤
The horns are crazy on this beat

This Instrumental makes my soul smile...... One Time for Hip Hop
Mos Def Brooklyn's Finest Periodt.
One of the best songs ever
How can anybody not like this?
This is music, nothing more nothing less just the pure form.
Andree 3000 and Mos def collab. I need that.
That was an elegant rhyme.
this is the kind of song that makes me buy the whole album without hearing it, hoping to come across a few more gems like this one...
Ski ft Mos Def??????? True Hip Hop. Mos should sell 10 mill everytime he drop. Y dont we hear this in mainstream radio? Cause its GREAT?
This is just an unbelievable track. Every time I listen to it, it gets better.
mos def just doesnt disappoint, his music is evolving and this song is true poetry
Yo he did a mike move with the feet LOL look how he vibing tho - he is inside of hip hop so deep

Baby what's happening?
Listen, life is fantastic
Beautiful and tragic
Plain, classic
Long as I'm alive I'mma never stop rapping

"This is the way it is, this how we gotta live
It's peace power over standing no cowardice"
This cat is designed for this.
He designed this
I feel enlightned just by listening to this joint
to just look out your window and see mos def just dancing and singing to himself on the side walk..... it'd be the greatest fucking thing
"long as I'm alive I ain't never stop rapping". Glad he hasn't. 1000 years Mos Def.
This is definitely one of the greatest Hip Hop songs to come out in the last 3 years.
I love this ❤🥰
We need Mos in the game, I hope he releases new material soon
Bey is crazy on this track may ALLAH bless you brotha...
Im in love wit this joint 4real. It has the perfect feeling something i cant feel with wats on the radio. MosDef GOODLOOKS !

Best karate class ever...
eargasm
This sounds so dope live, just saw him yesterday in Chile. Amazing experience
Thought it was gold 13 years ago and now it's the some of the best ever made
Mos pulls the Billie Jean here. So smooth, doesn't do too much. A Lyrical genius.
I'd say Mos Def is my favorite rapper, no wait musicia, no wait he's too great for any list
This still bangs.
Unbelievable...Mos Def one of them dudes that been doin big things for Brooklyn for a minute but never really gets the respect he deserves. Ill shit right there man
Ski is one of the all time most underrated producers. His most underrated work was the first Camp Lo album and the Sporty Thievz album.
i mean cmon he's top 5 living for sure
Top 5 all time...
He is probably top 1 "deserved much more credit than he was given" most people just didn't realize how intensely deep his music can get
I can't even really call him a rapper, he's just a pure musician that uses rap elements
so true ^
