Totally agree. Over 20 years I rotate through several styles of music, but for some reason this song pops up and I HAVE to listen to it no matter what mood I'm in. Solid track from some very talented people.
Back then, I used to watch a lot MTV. You know, out of the many music videos they were showing a day, you often got at least one that stood out. This video was one of those, simply because the style was so unique. The song wasn't any different. The combination of both really impressed me, and still does today.
I still love this track, the blend of the different style of vocalist each act as their own hook tied together with the instrumental... Tricky's raspy trip hop vocals, Hawkman's raspy reggae voice, and Ed's clean vocals... sure it's not cutting edge experimental stuff but just works
First time I heard this song, I had fallen asleep with the radio on. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear this creepy beat with Tricky's scary ass whispering shit at me. I was terrified. and then I saw the music video.
I've been looking for this tune so long...only remember those white top tanks in video. After all these years I've found it by accident. It was worth waiting.
That last shot of them walking in different directions gave me chills! this is about coming together over tremendous odds and differences and making the future happen and making good happen.
I remember seeing this video when I was like 8 years old in 2000 on MTV after hours, scarred me for life in a good way. A song I’ll never forget and always vibe to.
I think its safe to say, some of you spent years trying to find this song from the faint lyrics alone. Welcome friends you found it. Also this song is criminally underrated in views.
Same dude! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. He has so many tracks I love indeed. But the ones less positive not so much! But atleast it’s not Portishead. They unfortunately have way too many less positive ones. I love Massive Attack and Tricky. Both are so damn good!
I heard this song so long ago when I was very little. Maybe when it first came out and I was trying to remember the lyrics for years (hearing the beat in you head and not remembering the lyrics is so frustrating) and finally I typed "this revolution has just begun" and I found it yay!! Love Tricky.
Now that you got it right Bring love and it'll make it alright Bring love and we'll take it tonight Now that you got it right Who wants the sinner Coming 'round for dinner Who needs effects Who needs to pay for sex When they drop the bomb Who will stay calm Blood will spill Who would you kill Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has just begun Walking down the road with my little rude gun Top of my gun, cock it for fun Block on ya tongue Top of my earth Tip of my birth Top of my death Tip of my breast Top of my chest Tip of my guess I like the singles I got the jingles Bet you ate Springles Walking on your road with my little rude gun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has just begun Stepping on the street with my little rude girl Tip of my toes Top of my world Top of my world Top of my earth Top of my rock Tip of my block Now that you got it right Bring love and I'll make it alright Bring love and we'll take it tonight Now that you got it right Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has just begun She was born in the ghetto outside the Bronx In the project blocks Where time stands still It don't tick, it don't tock Top of my sun Tip of my land Top of my chest Tip of my breast Top of my earth Tip of my rock Walking on the road with my soul in my hand Tip of my toes Top of my span Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has Just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has Just begun, just begun, just begun, just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has Just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has Just begun Now that I understand this right Let me take it to the mic This revolution has Just begun
Everyone my age thinks I listen to weird music cause I listen to the old good stuff. My generations music shouldnt even be called music, its so rare to find something good.
i find it amusing how you find "new music" only to be pop. Ever heard of bands like Bokka, alvvays, bosnian rainbows, crystal castles, death grips, clipping? That's just a few i mentioned, i know and support way more. There's a variety of non-mainstream music that is succesful, just not in a huge scale. and it's very easy to reach it. You just have to look beyond what you see on trending page.
90's had the best music. I was only born 1995, but I listen to a lot of 90's music, instead of the mainstream stuff that's on nowadays. I like channels where I can listen to 90's music and 70's and 80's music and it was before my time, but I love it. :)
I love this song! I can't believe I never heard it before. I've been eating at Chipotle a lot this week and every time I'm there, they play this song. The chorus stuck in my head so I googled it just now.
I heard this song for the first time on a free CD on a Kerrang magazine in 2001 ish. While my musical taste has changed in the past 20 years I always remembered this. Great tune.
Somewhere in the early 2000s i heard this song in a channel called GamesNetwork for a game video. The time was young and I was a small kid back then. Lookin back the time in youtube trying to find this song. It is true that music stimulates memories.
Metal was my favourite music, but my instinct guided to reach much more. Was then, when I accepted the long, long way of progressive rock and, by the way, opened my eyes to different great music like this.
Instead of making the bullshit "who's still here in 2020" comment, instead I'll say that it is truly amazing that so many people have been inspired by this track that came out almost 20 years ago! God damn, what a good song.
Tricky is the man. In 2018 in Moscow, Russia on Park. Live music festival.I was wasted.Hard year,lots of bad thoughts,problems,very hot day, alcohol,tension with my babygirl.Just one of those really shit stripe on your life scale. I was in the VIP zone of the festival and there was a Johnny Walker's promo bar there is a bad idea to mix whiskey with wine especially considering all of the above.Tricky was there after the performance. 10 minutes before that I was sitting on the grass under a tree and sobbing like a child. All the shit came out of me like water from a fire hose. I'm drunk and leaned on the dude in front of me and it was a Tricky, the security wanted to do something but he stopped them, saw my tear-stained, drunken, lost face, lost eyes hugged me, asked how I was, shook me and said that everything is ok. I just :wow this is Tricky and took a selfie where he hugs me more than i hug him. He is a subtle soul who recognized the confusion and discord in another person and gave me tenderness and humanity in return.Thanks!
sometimes it pops into mind and you come back like an underdog on steroids hungry for the belt, determined to stand in the APEX of nostalgia for all that good shit that was but not anymore. Life. Theres Only one way to go once you get to the top, plus you dont even realize it when your there.
i remember this song but had never seen the video before. just seen this beautiful creative being at the arches, glasgow... small intimate venue, just fanastic... he gave out cuddles and i caught one... nice memory
2024 and 2025 🗣️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thumbs up,enjoy for now but Babylon is going to crash the internet soon.
21 years later, I still love this song and this video, my favorite for life 😍🤩🙏
Hey, is your Surname actually nicknamed by the Triphop star Terranova?
oh the happy times
Yep
"It's a song about different people from different planets and how they all feel the same thing," Tricky said.
This song has haunted me for more than 20 years, because everytime I hear word "revolution", I come back to this song. 2022 still loving it!
Totally agree. Over 20 years I rotate through several styles of music, but for some reason this song pops up and I HAVE to listen to it no matter what mood I'm in. Solid track from some very talented people.
7 devil's by Florence is way more haunting
Tricky is super talented and one of my favourite artists ever and sadly underrated. 🙏
*He wears jockstraps sometimes..+*
Do you remember he was in the movie "The Fifth Element "? Such talent!
Yeah, nowadays people need song like & esposito&😂etc
I love this song! Seen Tricky and met in a small club Philly.. Ill always remember the memory..
Back then, I used to watch a lot MTV. You know, out of the many music videos they were showing a day, you often got at least one that stood out. This video was one of those, simply because the style was so unique. The song wasn't any different. The combination of both really impressed me, and still does today.
Song was unique also
This music never get old.
💯%
I still love this track, the blend of the different style of vocalist each act as their own hook tied together with the instrumental... Tricky's raspy trip hop vocals, Hawkman's raspy reggae voice, and Ed's clean vocals... sure it's not cutting edge experimental stuff but just works
At the time it was (IMHO)...
Tricky truly has a unique sound...Damn I love the Bristol music scene
Remember this Song from my special childhood Phase of discovering my ever evolving music taste
Как давно я не слышала эту песню!!! Как же она мне раньше нравилась!!! В принципе, и сейчас нравится❤
Слушайте своего газманова и шамана😂 не хер к чуждым ценностям приобщаться😂😂😂
Помню, по viva zwei этот клип крутили.
К вам тогда это тоже относится))
@@user-gf8tl5qd9l
First time I heard this song, I had fallen asleep with the radio on. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear this creepy beat with Tricky's scary ass whispering shit at me. I was terrified.
and then I saw the music video.
this is my 2021 motto: Evolution Revolution Love
Yes, we need to all stand together against a tyrannical government.
Yyyyyyyeeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!
Now that you got i right, this reveloution....
💙💙💙💙🙋♂️😘😁
Hell's yeah!
I've been looking for this tune so long...only remember those white top tanks in video. After all these years I've found it by accident. It was worth waiting.
I'm happy for your find, do you still come back to this song?
That last shot of them walking in different directions gave me chills! this is about coming together over tremendous odds and differences and making the future happen and making good happen.
I miss those days when music videos was creative and music could totally blow your mind.
Still saying the same things 9 years later. Music has regressed year after year unfortunately.
@@isaactwine first comes advancement, then comes regression. The human cycle.
I saw and met tricky once at a concert I was working for as staff. I saw him and jumped to the chance to say hi and he was so nice! ❤️
Still getting stoned and vibing to this song in 2021. It became a tradition lol.
Tricky's years in Massive Attack served him well. It's like he took that sound and expanded on with his own sweet flair.
I have a feeling that tricky WAS Massive Attack...
@@UbercakeNL that feeling is not accurate.
@@UbercakeNL Tricky was the best part of massive Attack
@@alejandrochaves2292 not really. And you don’t need to out down one artist to praise the other.
I have loved this song ever since I first heard it years ago. Three very talented men
I remember seeing this video when I was like 8 years old in 2000 on MTV after hours, scarred me for life in a good way. A song I’ll never forget and always vibe to.
I remember this song!! ❤ It's what I needed to hear today 🎤🎶
The reggae singer really ties this song together, love his lyrics and flow.
Garrison Hawk, if you wanna hear more.
Love trip hop...the diversity in the two vocalist make the dynamic of this song amazing....
Linkin Park we're the closest to the vocal diversity in the song that draws you in.....
Legendary masterpiece, it never gets older
💯%
Yep!!!
Wish Ed did more collabirations like this. Tricky was great on "Simple Creed" too!
I think its safe to say, some of you spent years trying to find this song from the faint lyrics alone. Welcome friends you found it. Also this song is criminally underrated in views.
Those Hawkman vocals...
Always loved this song. It’s very haunting and Ed’s voice is always amazing.
how dope is this track/vid. P.S. anyone else remember watching their music vids on Much Music? that logo brings me back.
amazing! amazing! again and again!
2020 anyone? (I thought I'd get in there first!) x
TIME_LESS masterpiece. YO
🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
Heyy
I enjoy it! Lol I even Hulu-hoop to it ♥️
Me
2023 and this song still slaps
i literally only just thought of this song out of the blue and wondered why i wasnt listening to it right now
It will slap for eternity
2024
I really love Tricky's positive tunes, he does many. I struggle with his less positive songs.
Same dude! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. He has so many tracks I love indeed. But the ones less positive not so much!
But atleast it’s not Portishead. They unfortunately have way too many less positive ones.
I love Massive Attack and Tricky. Both are so damn good!
This is the best I save seen and I have heared for a very very long time. ❤️❤️❤️
I will never forget this video. it's burned into my subconscious.
This revolution has just begun
I remember finding out about tricky from the box days
Marilyn manson, Green day, hole, nine, tricky etc, my golden age
I remember seeing this on mtv at 3am back in the day when they played music
I heard this song so long ago when I was very little. Maybe when it first came out and I was trying to remember the lyrics for years (hearing the beat in you head and not remembering the lyrics is so frustrating) and finally I typed "this revolution has just begun" and I found it yay!!
Love Tricky.
Now that you got it right
Bring love and it'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right
Who wants the sinner
Coming 'round for dinner
Who needs effects
Who needs to pay for sex
When they drop the bomb
Who will stay calm
Blood will spill
Who would you kill
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun
Walking down the road with my little rude gun
Top of my gun, cock it for fun
Block on ya tongue
Top of my earth
Tip of my birth
Top of my death
Tip of my breast
Top of my chest
Tip of my guess
I like the singles
I got the jingles
Bet you ate Springles
Walking on your road with my little rude gun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun
Stepping on the street with my little rude girl
Tip of my toes
Top of my world
Top of my world
Top of my earth
Top of my rock
Tip of my block
Now that you got it right
Bring love and I'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun
She was born in the ghetto outside the Bronx
In the project blocks
Where time stands still
It don't tick, it don't tock
Top of my sun
Tip of my land
Top of my chest
Tip of my breast
Top of my earth
Tip of my rock
Walking on the road with my soul in my hand
Tip of my toes
Top of my span
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun, just begun, just begun, just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun
Now that I understand this right

I took this for granted at the time....Music isn't half this good these days
Everyone my age thinks I listen to weird music cause I listen to the old good stuff. My generations music shouldnt even be called music, its so rare to find something good.
Eventually you will get older and you just listen to whatever the hell you like without thinking about other souls :D
i find it amusing how you find "new music" only to be pop. Ever heard of bands like Bokka, alvvays, bosnian rainbows, crystal castles, death grips, clipping? That's just a few i mentioned, i know and support way more. There's a variety of non-mainstream music that is succesful, just not in a huge scale. and it's very easy to reach it. You just have to look beyond what you see on trending page.
True
Your being generous with half.
This is a true Masterpiece !
This, gives me chills everytime i hear it.
Powerful, amazing, and down right flawless.
It's allways good to hear Tricky!
I love from the first minute I heard and still, the love of my life
omg! a los años que la encuentro! me fascina esta cancion! 💜
Pao Vásquez y ami despues de un buen tiempo lo vuelvo a escucharr!!!❤️
С 24 м, господа!!!🎉 Звучит, как будто вчера❤❤❤❤❤
I'm from the year 2167..this song is playing as there are robot wars and humans are revealing themselves
90's had the best music. I was only born 1995, but I listen to a lot of 90's music, instead of the mainstream stuff that's on nowadays. I like channels where I can listen to 90's music and 70's and 80's music and it was before my time, but I love it. :)
This is such a tune! Underrated.
first Tricky song I heard. still my favorite.
I love this song! I can't believe I never heard it before. I've been eating at Chipotle a lot this week and every time I'm there, they play this song. The chorus stuck in my head so I googled it just now.
Came across this song many years ago and still listen to it often and play it for all that love good music and collaborations.
I heard this song for the first time on a free CD on a Kerrang magazine in 2001 ish. While my musical taste has changed in the past 20 years I always remembered this. Great tune.
2021 listening to this master song
Łł
11
great music rocks it funks its blues ,and has a little classical ,keep it comin
Stripping introduced me to trip hop in 2004
When it comes to British solo artists it's Bowie and Tricky at the top for me.
wow, I haven't heard this song in ages. totally takes me back to my early high school years :-)
I like his voice so much!
This is hypnotic as hell
Somewhere in the early 2000s i heard this song in a channel called GamesNetwork for a game video. The time was young and I was a small kid back then. Lookin back the time in youtube trying to find this song. It is true that music stimulates memories.
America, take notice. This is real Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Electronic music.
nah man you don't know anything about hip hop until you hear "real hip hop" by politikz
britain is the queen
Back in the day there were great hip hop bands in the USA. Public enemy, run dmc etc. I agree now it is all different. Tricky is just too talented.
tldr "the only hip hop i know is the top 40"
u go boy!) agree!
2019?? Anyone?? 😊😍😘❤😁
Me too
Fight Club - Remember Ed in diner scene? Tyler Durden - Trump Donald.

I am here! "Blowback" is a brilliant album. I am first saw and heard this song and video on MTV Russia.
One of my favourite track. I like the lyricism and the insistent flowing beat.
Do you believe me? First I heard that track in early 2000. And now I found the track accidentally in 2020.
i do!! its a sign that dopness will always find a way
Metal was my favourite music, but my instinct guided to reach much more. Was then, when I accepted the long, long way of progressive rock and, by the way, opened my eyes to different great music like this.
remember seeing this video in the College cafeteria. I loved it instantly
Instead of making the bullshit "who's still here in 2020" comment, instead I'll say that it is truly amazing that so many people have been inspired by this track that came out almost 20 years ago! God damn, what a good song.
Listen this masterpiece from 2001 to 2020! )

wow....I have to learn this aspect of love.
This is awesome. What a mix of style. Seductive, hot, yet groovy. :-)
