Yes, it is. He's a great lyricist! His sense of humor is top notch, comes through in his lyrics making me smile and laugh, and it's relatable. THAT takes real genius to pull off!!
This song will always remain relevant. It’s just so accurate with the consumerism tear down. I love revisiting it every few months and reminding myself how on point you are.
I Just listened to this for the first time in forever. That's one of the better rap songs I've ever heard. The lyrics are so fucking good and the subject matter/satirical spin is just like... Damn NO rappers would ever make a song that well written!! The rhyme schemes are just so fucking advanced true skill and talent right here.
I swear ever single one of his videos are always on point. Whoever his director, editor, and camera guy are need get paid more than whatever they're already gettin paid. Amazing. Not only that, but Wax went in on this song.
Watching in 2011: *thoroughly entertained by the beat and amazed by how fire the bars are*🤩 Watching in 2020: *has existential crises-induced panic attack*😰

Fuck man, literally my life. " I'm aware I'm a puppet of another man's greed" but I'm trying to get away from that and focus on more important things. For instance, being in the now with people I care about and less consumerism. Great jam Wax, that'll forever be relevant.

Why have I never heard this? I get in a Wax phase every couple months and listen to my favorites, I guess I've missed out for a few years on this. Wow this is a great song. Consume, Obey.
Message! This video is dope! Makes the song make so much more sense. You know you're a good artist when your songs get better and better the more you replay them. There's something more in each song. Wax is one of those artists! It's a shame he isn't farther off. I guess mainstream isn't ready for the genius.
holy shit,,,, this song is really accurate... the flow stays congruent with the message behind the song. to me it seems very frantic, running out of time to buy shit that we 'need' i appreciate this song and your music wax+company!
Holy shit... What can I say, this is nothing different from what I expected from Wax :-) Great lyrics, great music and especially an awesome video. That must've been alot of work o.o
I can't believe how this video doesn't have a million views, or anywhere near it really, but Rosana just hit a million lol. Not that Rosana is bad or anything, I just love this song and "Guess Who", don't even understand how they don't have that many views lol.
Hey, givin props to the editor/camera guy, people don't realize the creativity that was put in this video.. does anyone realize he's going at double speed..? Nice work man..
Great video man. You have been one of my favorite artist for a while but your more recent stuff I didn't feel as much. I liked this one a lot though and I will always check on whatever you make as long as I know your capable of making music I enjoy.
One of Wax's most under appreciated songs
And its still very relevant today 2024
Yes, it is. He's a great lyricist! His sense of humor is top notch, comes through in his lyrics making me smile and laugh, and it's relatable. THAT takes real genius to pull off!!
This track is still relevant now!
It's timeless. It will always be relevant as long as we keep buying shit we don't need lol
this shit resonates now just as much as it did 5 years ago... just as much as it would have 5 years before that. underground classic imo.
1:40 "cuz every phone that I own needs to have multiple cameras" ...and it was 2011, THAT WAS PURE PRECOGNITION from WAX!
@@UrikKane for real. iphones got like 7 cameras now.
Still hits in 2021...
it won't become irrelevant anytime soon.
This song is 9 years old and it's equally relevant today
more relevant
These are the realest lyrics i ever herd
Or HEARD...
this man is too talented for comprehension
Can we just stop and appreciate how psychedelic this beat is? sorta like the eearly cypress hit but different
i like the back round vocals "AHHH AHHH AHHH AHH AHH"
RIP EOM
Greatest song ever made.
This song will always remain relevant. It’s just so accurate with the consumerism tear down. I love revisiting it every few months and reminding myself how on point you are.
this song actually has a big message thats happening to everyone out there everyday in life and no one is doing crap about it.
This song is timeless. Still listening to it on a weekly basis in 2019
You guys are definitely underground GOATs. I hope you guys get the roses you deserve!!!
maybe his greatest track. personally, one of the greatest tracks in history
2021 still hard. Will be back again to check the heat levels
I’m back still hot
I Just listened to this for the first time in forever. That's one of the better rap songs I've ever heard. The lyrics are so fucking good and the subject matter/satirical spin is just like...

Well, I'm glad that you discovered Wax 2 months ago :) My favorite rapper, one of the most creative!
This song only gets more relevant every year that passes :I
This song literally encompassed my life.
I swear ever single one of his videos are always on point. Whoever his director, editor, and camera guy are need get paid more than whatever they're already gettin paid. Amazing. Not only that, but Wax went in on this song.
Watching in 2011: *thoroughly entertained by the beat and amazed by how fire the bars are*🤩
Watching in 2020: *has existential crises-induced panic attack*😰
The best part is there are no ads on this video.
Thank you WAX
This is my jam right here! Can't wait for you to come back around to Webster Hall.
I swear ever single one of his videos are always on point. Whoever his director, editor, and camera guy are need get paid more than whatever they're already gettin paid. Amazing.
This dude is AMAZING
Wax=Pure Genius......You are way to skilled for def jam. They'd never appreciate your talent like your true fans do.
Wax should just get AdBlock.
It makes me sad this video only has 600k views after 9 years...such a good song
Fuck man, literally my life. " I'm aware I'm a puppet of another man's greed" but I'm trying to get away from that and focus on more important things. For instance, being in the now with people I care about and less consumerism.
Great jam Wax, that'll forever be relevant.
Facts
This should have tens of millions of views. this is pure genius, and there is so much truth in it.
"Mom, why is that bald man shouting at a camera in the video game aisle?"
"Oh that's just Wax, he does that."
Probably my favorite Wax track so far. He nails it, raw ass lyrics and is speaking the truth.
this makes me want to become a shaolin monk
The shots in your car when you are driving say a lot about how far you've come. I'm proud of you Wax. Have a Merry Christmas.
I need to buy your album
the quality of having actual messages in songs seems to be a fading attribute in the music world. great song and message wax!
Holy
Shhit.
_Brilliance...._
This song is everything
Brave New World, good book
This is genius Wax. Probably my favorite song of yours.
consumerism at its finest
Socialism partnership with capitalism.
beginning of each year wax drops a classic. '08 was new crack, '09 was low budget, '10 was 2010 til infinity, '11 was RED. I CANT WAIT FOR NEW YEARS
wow. FUCKING BRILLIANT. i was always eh about wax but im thoroughly convinced after this. he gets it...
the best thing about the song is the message that it sends us
dope!!
proud metalhead here, Normally I dont listen to this kind of music but these lyrics are excellent. good job :)

[Verse 1]
I got a long list of needs gotta satisfy 'em all
And the first on the list is a bag of Tylenol
Cause I'm stressed out thinking I don't have the time at all
To get my shopping done, let me start here, on the top at one
First, I need to check my e-mail
Oh shit, yahoo front page news, another celebrity female
That had a wedding recently, the marriage epicly failed
I need to click the link because I need to get the details
Soon as I click it I'm hit with a little ad
That reminds me of a need that I already had
It's an absolute must have need it really bad
Before I read the story I be rushing out of my pad
Now I'm in my car speeding cause I'm itching to find
A Mickey D's drive through so I can sit in the line
Gotta get in it in time, can't waste a minute of time
The McRib's only there for a limited time
And then I'm hit with a sign, that makes a switch in my mind
Reminding me of a need of a different kind
A brightly colored advertisement on a bus bench
Makes me head to Target to pick up tents
Cause tomorrow they're coming out with Call of Duty 84
And it's a necessity I camp out at the store
You never know they might never fucking make any more
I'm gonna rush to the front when they open the door
And trample over any people that fall down on the floor
This ain't a game, this is war
If you produce it I'll consume it if you shove it down my freaking throat
Everybody else got it, I don't wanna miss the boat
[Hook x2]
It's a lot of shit I really really need
And I need to get all of it at a really fast speed
I'm aware I'm a puppet of another man's greed
I don't care, I'm in love with all this shit I really need
[Verse 2]
My duffle bag is packed
With my phone, and my pod, my shuffle, pad, and mac
Got all of my i's dotted, if they made it I got it
And I'mma open my wallet for the next iProduct
Gotta try to give them all that I can bruh
Cause every phone that I own needs to have multiple cameras
And my last one only had one
How can I be seen from boths sides of the screen, I mean
If I don't desperately plead and request for my upgrade
I'll definitely bleed to death or die of AIDS
I need better resolution, more gigs!
Angry birds is old, I need war pigs!
I need to tell the landlord as far as what is concerned
I gave Apple every cent that I earned
So I'mma be late, now I need a Tecate
To deflate this stress caused by not letting my needs wait
[Hook]
"God damn man I just need to relax, watch some late night TV
Aw infomercials... Aw fuck I need all this shit too!"
[Verse 3]
I got a lot of insecurities, use 'em to attack me
I'm going bald, getting fat, plus I got acne
I'm looking like a combination of all the before pics
Please pretty please let me make you more rich
Cause I need to get over whatever it is that I'm sick from
List some symptoms, I bet I could pick one
Yeah I got the fifth one, out of 45
Stomach aches, surely I need that particular drug to take
The terrorists got me scared as shit
Time to buy a terror kit, with a mask for air in it
God bless my soul, I need to invest in gold
The economy as we know it is about to fucking fold
And we're all gonna die if I don't fucking buy
All the oil's running dry, asteroids from the sky
Who am I, where am I, what am I, I just need to fucking find
The nearest Wal-Mart that's got a gun to buy
amen
love how hes one of the best american rappers and his songs still have a message at the same time
2018
I respect a song and its singer when it have a subject and aims to "wake us up".like this one!
Thank you, this is real art
Its ironic that Im trying desparately to get my internet speed to catch up to the new 1440 hd speed. I need it!
Love the message. It's so true about so many of us. It's really sad many of us care about things that don't really mean shit.
This song is so nasty, it gets my ears full of wax.
Why have I never heard this? I get in a Wax phase every couple months and listen to my favorites, I guess I've missed out for a few years on this. Wow this is a great song. Consume, Obey.
Are you insane? This literally confronts corporate America, if the radio played this they would just make themselves look bad.
Message! This video is dope! Makes the song make so much more sense. You know you're a good artist when your songs get better and better the more you replay them. There's something more in each song. Wax is one of those artists! It's a shame he isn't farther off. I guess mainstream isn't ready for the genius.
Wax. Subliminal Criminal
a real piece of art right here.
wax went to town writting/rapping this.
The meaning behind this song and the video is actually pretty scary if you think about it. Nice job, Wax. Opening the eyes of the people. Respect.
This was sick. This is the kind of music we "Need".
One of my favourite songs off the mixtape, the video just makes it better.
I've just discovered this guy and the songs are all hits for me.
i think of this mixtape, this song had the best message in it.
this song is one of the best songs of all time
Wax and Dumbfoudead are pretty much the only cats I listen too, and this song proves why!! BEAST!!! Real hip hop is back!!
holy shit,,,, this song is really accurate...
the flow stays congruent with the message behind the song.
to me it seems very frantic, running out of time to buy shit that we 'need'
i appreciate this song and your music wax+company!
Thank you WAX for releasing good music and for saying something that actually has some substance.
one of my favorite wax songs for sure
at first i didint like this album, but now the more closely i listen to it im liking it more and more. Wax your the man.
Black friday today and this came to mind😅
wax, you genious!
Holy shit... What can I say, this is nothing different from what I expected from Wax :-) Great lyrics, great music and especially an awesome video. That must've been alot of work o.o
I can't believe how this video doesn't have a million views, or anywhere near it really, but Rosana just hit a million lol. Not that Rosana is bad or anything, I just love this song and "Guess Who", don't even understand how they don't have that many views lol.
Why this not haz more views? Epic message. Well done music vid. Feels retro but he keeps it so real. Well done Wax.
Perfect timing on with all the hype with the holiday season and the new jordans that just came out.
Oh, my God. That was an intense surge of energy I wasn't quite ready for.
Sick video, Beat and true lyrics. Why I subscribed to wax last year and why i'm still subscribed today!!!

Most epic description of American materialism my friend. Kudos!
Great video man. You have been one of my favorite artist for a while but your more recent stuff I didn't feel as much. I liked this one a lot though and I will always check on whatever you make as long as I know your capable of making music I enjoy.
I listen to metal/hardcore, but maybe if all rap were like this, id listen to it more. Really enjoyed this song.
Super dope song, super dope video. Well done, and nice timing too haha!
Great Video!
I love the new mixtape and all of the "timely" mentions of the holidays!
real eye opener, real interesting and dope at the same time
this song has such a sicc message
the best part about this video is the message it sends us as humans..
This has got to be some of the realist shit I've heard in a while. Thanks.
Holy shit. Gotta exhale after this one, covered all bases. Amazing song and stellar video.
