When Nas said hip hop was dead he wasn't lying. I know there always be underground people doing it as a hobby n maybe a side hustle but all these industry dudes are poprap
Cause they don’t care bout black people, but that Asian hate crime (which is very necessary and I’m happy it got passed) was passed very very very fast 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
WHY DID MALCOLMS MISSION DIE WIT THE MAN, why we ain’t picked it up and carry out his plan - this is some of the hardest intro bars I’ve ever fucking heard
This right here is exactly "Why" Jadakiss, along with his entourage of featured lyrical assassins are exactly what our Hip-Hop culture needs more than ever... poetic, sedated CONSCIOUSNESS that never neglects to uplift and enlighten the masses.
I never even knew there was a remix to this song. Heard it on the radio and was so blown away. This song is so incredibly REAL, there's no beating it. All the artisits are HOTTTTT. Lyrical content is AMAZING.
ever listen to AZ? He is the prime example of genius that was held back because of what he stood for. Check out his first album "Do Or Die" if you never have. its probably my favorite album
Malachi Campbell cuz he aint, i mean he doesnt exist but if he did he would be mixed with white and a bit darker people so you would call him white, i mean santa aint black either, not that i care jesus could be a fucking mammal with 8 penises i dont care but just answering your/his question/line.
“Why they care about yo son’s braids more than his grades?!?” Song been out but resonates today to how they kicked students out of school here in Texas over dreadlocks.
I remember when I first heard this on HOT97 in 2004, when Common said "why don't we impeach him, and elect Obama" I thought to myself that would be nice to elect Obama, but will never happen. Proud to say I was wrong about that!
I'm dead serious when I say what I'm about to say. This song just might get my vote for the best rap song of all time, and I've listened to tons of songs by tons of artists.
@@pirooby1 Good for you. Let me tell you though, I've listened to so much more hip-hop since I wrote that (close to ten years ago) so my favorites are a little different these days. But great song still!
Damn some of yall are late I remember when this came out its when kiss original why was still hot and this came and almost made us forget about the original as far as best verse goes all of these dudes are mcs I love so u can't go wrong with anybody but I have to go wit Styles P u listen to his verse now and it is still resonates today in 2016! #Styles P underrated
damn, i remember kiss of death dropping in the middle of a hot summer 2004. took a bus to the mall to buy it. this remix wasnt on it, but still a fire album 🔥🔊
Common predicted the entire state of 2k13 pop culture decline of materialistic & gangster rap, election of Obama, success of Justin Timberlake etc. its a shame these men don't get their just due.
" Why did Justin sell Janet out and go to the Grammys?" " Why do schools care about your son's braids than they care about his grades?" Real questions!
"Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama" Common said that in 2004. Obama didnt announce he was running for until 2007...my mind if officially blown!
The connection quite simple when you think about it. Obama was a fast rising star in Chicago Politics, he had a buzz about him in the Illinois Senate, he also gained Bipartisan Support on most of his Social Issues ie health and welfare reforms. By 2004 came he was an open opponent of Bush’s 2003 Invasion of Iraq, he even spoke at Chicago Anti-war Rallies I believe. At the time Chicago rap was on the rise with many from Southside where Obama is from and was his Political base. Common is from Calumet Heights, also follow Chicago rappers like Lupe Fiasco, Da Brat and Twista have put similar lines in their raps too.
Because most people ain't educated enough to play the real music.Believe it God put some of the best rappers together to make some of the best songs and also the best albums. This is why it's good to be a good song writer.
All these brothers came correct with it, but Nas' verse just has a certain aura about it that makes it stand out amongst the other three great verses.
that's always how it is with Nas
Finessed Analyzer ya )
Word. Nas the general.
Nas that dude
8 words in you knew it was already the best verse.
'Why don't we build our own airlines, fly to Africa do some trade with Zimbabwe' straight fire!
Nas is fly!!!
Why they hate our white t-shirts and hats turned backwards, why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors 🐐
I read this comment as soon as this part played
Nyika yemadzibaba...glad Nas mentions our country Zimbabwe
Common snapped the hardest
"Why you worried bout my clothes when my flow gon' change the world?"
Jada is my favorite hands down, but Common definitely had the best verse on that song. You must be listening to the wrong song
All of them snap on here.
Love Common, I'm friends with 2 of his cousins. Grew up with them so I was introduced to his music early
💯
“Why you kill on the song yet frown on the screen there’s so many thrones while we argue who is king”
Nas said Jada as is real as it gets, lmao, thats why I love LOX, people aint got shit on them!
U pop shit apologise just ask kiss
As a native Alabamian The Lox, Kiss, Styles are my ninjas
Nas always kick start his line with seemingly complex and unique style.
"Why is garbage music selling a lot and why is the music industry state of mind real far from Hip Hop"
right
Jr Ryder, that's period point blank! He killed the track with the opening verse......so accurate.
Charles N No doubt bro. He set the tone. These dudes speaking truth on this track
Why a whip and a chain the black American dream? A whip and a chain, yo!
When Nas said hip hop was dead he wasn't lying. I know there always be underground people doing it as a hobby n maybe a side hustle but all these industry dudes are poprap
WHY is it 2020 and these bars are still relevant!?
Why is it 2022 and rappers still can’t emulate hiphop?
why is it 2023 and the mind still ain't free
Because nothing changes but the weather.
and in late 2024!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾
Why is this song still relevant to todays issues?
exactly
Cause it's that real shit right here!!!! Never mine of that bum ass mumble shit hop!!!!
John Simmons n
Cause they don’t care bout black people, but that Asian hate crime (which is very necessary and I’m happy it got passed) was passed very very very fast 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
That's a bar
Song is from 2004 and Jada’s verse is today’s scenario all over again!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥
Common caught a homicide on this ... then Nas
If this was made today, in 2014, it would not be played on radio. Times have changed.
Did Common say "Why a whip and a chain the Black American dream?" 😳😳😳😳
meaning a car and jewelry, also meaning they still enslaved
That's a true lyric right there this what you call lyricism common seriously underrated
Damn! That's a bar!
honestly all four of there verses was deep, but Common and Nas stood out more
WHY DID MALCOLMS MISSION DIE WIT THE MAN, why we ain’t picked it up and carry out his plan - this is some of the hardest intro bars I’ve ever fucking heard
Damn Nas killed this...
When does nas never kill it....The goat
Yes but just After pac..
@@maikleon1 Nas & many others Deeper & Lyrically light years ahead of Pac. Pac was good but became highly overpraised in death
@@2KILLAVILLEpac wrote blasphemy. you can’t be over praised if you wrote blasphemy.

Rather unique tho
jada should remake this song every year, same beat, new issues
Everybody snapped. Y'all stop comparing great men. Let's celebrate their talent and enjoy the music. Shit has message and that's it..🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿
Very timeless! Powerful ! Still relevant!
Why it took Jada to appear in 3 verzuz to get his flowers ?
YOOOO I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS FIRE SHIT WAS OUT AND THERE WAS A REMIX WITH NAS BRUH THIS SHIT FIRE ASF
How do u forget Anthony Hamilton
Exactly!
He was the hook of this song, just like he was on the original.
Redeem team brought me here
Styles P. "Why build more jails less schools? CAUSE WE ARE UNDER ATTACK "
"Why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors"
Malachi Campbell bar made my jaw drop. Nas brought it and then some...
No lol
Malachi Campbell cuz he aint, i mean he doesnt exist but if he did he would be mixed with white and a bit darker people so you would call him white, i mean santa aint black either, not that i care jesus could be a fucking mammal with 8 penises i dont care but just answering your/his question/line.
Row Blanka mixed with white?
Row Blanka you know historically Jesus DID exist right? I'm not saying he waa the son of God or anything but he was real....
"Why it took for me to make why for y'all to listen"
This is to revalant rite now. Wake up bro n sisters, we are kings n queens
"why ain't Rick James not remembered for classic hits?/why do we remember Rick for smacking a bitch" best quote from Common in this hot remix!!!!
Johnny White Church!!!!!!
Chappelle's show!
This was one of my favorite Common verses and remixes
2021 and this song still going hard.
Common had the best verse. “they said I changed for a girl why you care about my clothes when my flow gone change the world”
Nas killed it🙌🏿
12 years later, nothing's changed
Another 5 years later, nothings changed.
@@coldkid6Another 2 years nothing's changed
This song should never left any Hip Hop station! It should be played every top of the hour everywhere! Peace! #vote!!!!!
Jadakiss speaks life!!!!!!!!!!
Nas slayed it
Why you gotta teach your kids on your own...cuz you get in the zone...they bringin you in you both gettin CLONED.....Styles P...

This song was the shit then now and forever! Sad that so many years later the lyrics still ring true!
Why is this more relevant now than ever?
One the best remixes ever why is this not on iTunes
There are so many thrones, why we arguing who is the king? -Common
“Why they care about yo son’s braids more than his grades?!?” Song been out but resonates today to how they kicked students out of school here in Texas over dreadlocks.
Remixes from this era were something else. Made You Look, Welcome to Atlanta, Get By, The Setup and so many more!!!
Don't forget the pharaoh monch Simon says remix
And the game one blood remix
Young bloods damn remix

I remember when I first heard this on HOT97 in 2004, when Common said "why don't we impeach him, and elect Obama" I thought to myself that would be nice to elect Obama, but will never happen.
Proud to say I was wrong about that!
20 years ago, I heard about Obama for first time ever from common's verse but more importantly why is this remix not on Spotify, Why ?
Nas killed it
May 21 2023 and this is still 🔥🔥
Heavily slept on song its a damn shame 💪💪
REAL RAP!!!! damn, this hits like medicine
Why Team USA keep getting blown out!

I'm dead serious when I say what I'm about to say. This song just might get my vote for the best rap song of all time, and I've listened to tons of songs by tons of artists.
This is my favorite hip-hop song of all-time bro
@@pirooby1 Good for you. Let me tell you though, I've listened to so much more hip-hop since I wrote that (close to ten years ago) so my favorites are a little different these days. But great song still!

Styles P smashed it
I love this remix and it's Deep. yet so True.

styles going hard and telling the truth
THIS TRACK WILL ALWAYS BE FIREZ!!!
"Why is Bush acting like he tryna catch Osama? Why don't we impeach him then elect Obama" Common was a prophet on this one. He had the foresight.
It just so happened that Obama brought Osama to justice. That I'll give him credit for.
One of my top 5 remixes.
anthony hamilton hammers it
Still bumping In 2024 hard hitting remix!
Common predicted the entire state of 2k13 pop culture
decline of materialistic & gangster rap, election of Obama, success of Justin Timberlake etc. its a shame these men don't get their just due.
I know the original was fire but this shit is on another level the flow the lyrics woow 2018 dammn shame i heard it just now
This is a very good remix. They all did a good job on their verses. I love it a lot, but WHY isn’t Sheek Louch on this song?
I Soo Love This Track!!! It Not Only Speak Volumes but It's also Something You Can Move To!!!
" Why did Justin sell Janet out and go to the Grammys?" " Why do schools care about your son's braids than they care about his grades?" Real questions!
Real talk
uhm the first nonsense was all staged, the second is real though
"Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama
Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama"
Common said that in 2004. Obama didnt announce he was running for until 2007...my mind if officially blown!
Chaz Brewer that keynote speech at the 2004 democratic convention.
if you grew up kenyan american you saw it coming that early. i imagine for those in chicago like common it was the same
The connection quite simple when you think about it. Obama was a fast rising star in Chicago Politics, he had a buzz about him in the Illinois Senate, he also gained Bipartisan Support on most of his Social Issues ie health and welfare reforms.

The only rapper missin is X then this would have all the kings
Common smoked it....🎤🎶🔥🔥
Why Jada ain't do this on the Verzuz battle? Whyyy
NAS! ♥
nas killed it.
"Why a whip and a chain the black american dream"
I've been looking for this long ago, it wasn't posted. Nas did his thing as well as did everybody else.
Because most people ain't educated enough to play the real music.Believe it God put some of the best rappers together to make some of the best songs and also the best albums.
This is why it's good to be a good song writer.
This song sound like it just came out timeless classic.
Classic Rap song by Jadakiss and Styles P-(of The LOX Rap Group) Common, Nas and Anthony Hamilton. For real everyone. Yes.
Nas an Common brought 🔥
This song is still a classic! Why team usa keep get blown out!
Okay... so Common sort of predicted the future. also the line about britney is good for our time...
Nas's whys where the best especialy the onse about Malcom X and Jesus.
Nas+Common=genius
