if only the ukhiphop scene had continued to embrace jehsts style of wordplay instead of the more grimey mc sound. was a more credible musical movement. only in my opinion of course. ;)
There is nothing like this track and never will be it's just special but at the same time there are alot of great artists still making great music you just need to dig a bit.
This from any hiphop or any musical genre lover should be the kind of tune that should be seriously taken in,poetry over a real beat.flow is spot on.ine of if not jehsts best song,the guy needs to check his self,lost his hunger.beautiful song non the less.
dude, wats the heck s te matter with you!?!?! you got'it all wrong my friend!@ I start to advance, become the norm, the new form; The children of the corn become riders of the storm When provided platforms for expression This construction of percussion is an outlet For aggression and discussion of direction As I'm swept aside I try to rise above it But ascension is denied I'm divided, tongue-tied and silent I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent Liquid diction
He's from Sussex originally, but moved to West Yorkshire in his teens. I think he recorded Premonitions in Leeds. His voice sounds different in his early recordings.
ya know what i didnt realise this had been sped up, i actually came back to this song to find out how he got his voice like that - i think it sounds sick nice to hear shit like this and quasimoto, makes a lil change
I start to advance beyond the norm, the new form, the children of the form, become riders of the storm when provided platforms for expression this construction of percussion is an outlet for aggression and destruction of direction as i'm swept aside, i try to rise above it but ascension is denied, i'm divided, tongue tied and silent. I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent.
It's on the Premonitions ep, which is out of press and only available on vinyl, look on ebay i suggest, thats where i got mine, and i got mine about 4 years ago. Oh and btw, there person who put this on here has put the speed up too high, it shud be 33 rpm or quartz lock if you got that! ITS MUCH BETTER AT ORIGINAL SPEED!!!
fuck with all types of rap, old school, new school, underground old and new school, trill phonk, g funk fucking everything and jehst is fucking dope affffff
Jehst aint no shame? Are you kidding me?! no matter what peice o' work of Jehst's, it's all Golden. Im suprised to hear that there is a 'slower version'? Hopefully not an edited 'chopped-and-screwed' version. Is there anyways you can send me a lil taste of thiss?
This simple liquid diction that I dote on is only a thimble full of fluid from the emotional ocean that I float on Romantic notions I wrote on dead trees, I retrieve the scrolls and breathe below the dead sea surface, liquid lung, liquid tongue, the traps that the serpent sets are swiftly sprung yet my heroes are still unsung so im singing, while all your hum drum gunslinging didnt ring true in the beginning you, didnt think it through, living in the zoo, too much power abused by the few.
was litteraly just about to post this,people need to wise up and listen to the midwestern U.S underground hip-hop scene. listen to brother ali and then tell me u.s hip-hop is shit or dead. love atmosphere, eyedea and all that just as much, probs even more then the u.k stuff of the moment
You misunderstood, of course Jehst is an amazing poet-mc...wtf would I say any different on one of his best tracks and one of favourite of all time. This version isnt chopped/screwed or edited, whoever recorded the vinyl,(as this is only via Premonitions) recorded this slighly fast (so maybe they left it instead of listening for the perfect speed - . Yeh I guess I could email you the proper version...or I could just put it up myself ;p
Hes definitely is one of the most insightful and his use of imagery is inspiring to say the least. The only emcee i think comes close in that sense is maybe mos def. But how do you compare jehst and MF DOOM or atmosphere? You can't. Different +es to everyones styles. Your opinion definitely has a strong base, though.
It's a shame whoever recorded this version has sped it up slightly (probably left it on 33 instead of quartz lock)... Which is why Jehst sounds slightly higher pitch and odd...I can't listen to this one after mine, it's too wierd... Fortunately for me I have the vinyl and a really good quality recorded digital version too :) Released on vinyl back '99! Part of the Premonitions EP (for those who don't know)
If anybody still visits this tune in this channel, would you please tell me if (and ‘if’ so) and how there a way of getting this tune on iTunes in 2018 on iOS 11?? - Side Note, I’ve tried finding it on Apple Music but it isn’t there. Apple Music is a pocket-sized version of Apple Music, I would say. If anyone can point me in the right directions that’d be ace! 🧐🤨
No. Wrong. He's from Kent. I grew up near and with him. He was born in Kent. Then moved to Sussex.. Then up to Huddersfield for a bit.. Skinnyman ran away from Leeds as a younger.. Apart from that i don't know where you got Leeds from bud.
Hm... ya, put'r up and lets check it out. I cant realy imagine hearing it any slower... but maybe, it would sound kyna cool, Jehst's voice does sound a bit fast n'ths one.
@tinderbox83 You know there is a reply button? Listen to the lyrics, if this was U.S. rap it would be "Money, money, bitches, money, cars". I'm not saying U.S. hip hop is completely dead its just had its time. Anyway maybe link/tell me the names of the MCs that would 'rip Jehst in half' from your hometown?
@BZARR1 and the uploader went and got it wrong as well. Dude...become the norm? Nah - BEYOND the norm. Otherwise it wouldn't even make sense. Wicked tuune.
yo try sammy deluxe,absolutte beginner,blumentopf,afrob,ferris mc,torch...raptile is from germany but he raps in english,strawberry twins...check dj tomekk ft.gza-ich lebe fur hip hop,or dj tomekk ft.krs one...im polish u should listen 2 our hh scene
@tinderbox83 look here, us rap is not dead but there are so many shitty, soundalike rappers in your country. At least here most songs are unique sounding and to be honet i bet if someone said this in a high pitched stupid sounding american accent you'd probably like it. Lowkey, english frank, re3co, K9, kozzie, pro green, devlin, mic righteous, split prophets, stig of the dump.... and thats before i touch on the grime scene
2024 still jamming!
Classic Banger!
I still think Jehst is one of the most lyrically talented artists in the world.
1 better the best of all time
Agreed
He is
Best of all time ❤
Amen 🙏
if only the ukhiphop scene had continued to embrace jehsts style of wordplay instead of the more grimey mc sound. was a more credible musical movement. only in my opinion of course. ;)
Your 100 % on the money.. what could have been
Concept of thought ;)
It's too deep, it makes people think, they don't want that..
Only my opinion
Am an Indie rocker and could never see maself listenin to this kind of music but all this london underground hip hop is growin on me. great tune :)
just found this, so good, why can't they make stuff like this anymore? =(
There is nothing like this track and never will be it's just special but at the same time there are alot of great artists still making great music you just need to dig a bit.
@@snorkelhawk1197agreed. This is so escapist and out of this world
since i found out about jehst ( 3 days ago ) i think i played this tune over 100 times
How am I just now finding this 😂 Dope! Respect from the LV.
Esmu arī Latvietis. Rīga, Vidzemes Priekšpilsēta, manas mājas :D
You got alot to catch up on.. UK ALL DAY!!
This from any hiphop or any musical genre lover should be the kind of tune that should be seriously taken in,poetry over a real beat.flow is spot on.ine of if not jehsts best song,the guy needs to check his self,lost his hunger.beautiful song non the less.
Here from the future. He’s still a king still making tunes
dude, wats the heck s te matter with you!?!?! you got'it all wrong my friend!@
I start to advance, become the norm, the new form;
The children of the corn become riders of the storm
When provided platforms for expression
This construction of percussion is an outlet
For aggression and discussion of direction
As I'm swept aside
I try to rise above it
But ascension is denied
I'm divided, tongue-tied and silent
I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent
Liquid diction
i need more beats like this, chilled out and thoughtful yet still kickin, and street, people help me out.
This sound is hard to match. The lyrics and delivery are both really strong and tied together so seamlessly.
Talented lyricist, structures Raps like a proper mc, but if we're talking UK hip hop the four owls,all four of em are next level
try brad struts stuff his not well known coming from melbourne australia his flow and story telling is empicable
@@taylorbrennan-fraser3913 i love the old tune he did with COTD called Sucker Free Zone
He's from Sussex originally, but moved to West Yorkshire in his teens. I think he recorded Premonitions in Leeds. His voice sounds different in his early recordings.
11 years too late, but this is actually a sped up version.
jehst is king
sounds so tranquil, sick lyrics to. Jehst is the greatest talent to hail from the UK
ya know what i didnt realise this had been sped up, i actually came back to this song to find out how he got his voice like that - i think it sounds sick
nice to hear shit like this and quasimoto, makes a lil change

SIGN UP
Liquid Diction
Jehst
(Intro, cuts)
Liquid.... diction x7
[Jehst]
This simple liquid diction that I dote on
Is only a thimble full of fluid from the emotional ocean
That I float on
Romantic notions I wrote on dead trees
I retrieve the scrolls and breathe below the dead sea-surface
Liquid lung, liquid tongue
The traps that the serpents set are swiftly sprung
Yet my heroes are still unsung
So I'm singing
While all your hum-drum gunslinging
Didn't ring true
In the beginning you
Didn't think it through
Living in the zoo
Too much power abused by the few
You could lose your crew to the system in the blink of an eye
I might not succeed but it's instinctive to try
To see my goals achieved before I die and if my flow runs dry
I'll rehydrate to dilate
The tiny mindstate of the primate descendant
Trend or no trend-independent
Defending the remnants of the long
Forgotten culture: of art, dance, and song
I start to advance, beyond the norm, the new form;
The children of the corn become riders of the storm
When provided platforms for expression
This construction of percussion is an outlet
For aggression and discussion of direction
(As I'm swept aside)
I try to rise above it but ascension is denied
I'm divided, tongue-tied and silent
I tried peace and quiet but these tyrants make me violent
Liquid diction
Inspired by the kyah I try to evoke ghostly spirits
I close my eyes hoping I dream of dope lyrics
During slumber, born under the sun of the summer
Now I'm waiting for the world-war
With the magic number to come
Bringing nuclear thunder-the drum
Is at one with my heart, the two halves of my sum
The fire and the sun separable to none
Unintelligible thoughts brought forth by forked tongues
It's only ever uttered under breath
Or out of ear-shot so we can't hear what's said
But fear not
I tread the righteous path through chaos
My medium this mic I pass through the sceance
I'm the spirit
You sense my presence then you're touched by my essence
I clutch the pad and pen
The chosen weapons when
I step in the arena
Hexed by my demons, blessed by Athena
Liquid diction, flow like H20

Game changer
dude ALMOST 20 years AGO!
Jehst aint no shame? Are you kidding me?! no matter what peice o' work of Jehst's, it's all Golden.
Im suprised to hear that there is a 'slower version'? Hopefully not an edited 'chopped-and-screwed' version. Is there anyways you can send me a lil taste of thiss?

Camden town Kentish man hollar kung fu lock other peeps. Hollar thanks upload the forgotten art
Really like this. Sick flow
You misunderstood, of course Jehst is an amazing poet-mc...wtf would I say any different on one of his best tracks and one of favourite of all time.
This version isnt chopped/screwed or edited, whoever recorded the vinyl,(as this is only via Premonitions) recorded this slighly fast (so maybe they left it instead of listening for the perfect speed - .
Yeh I guess I could email you the proper version...or I could just put it up myself ;p
so glad i found this
This is the deal,this should have been played in the NYC instead of the other BS.
God damn!!
I've been doing a lot of thinking and I've come to a conclusion..................William Shields is writing for Pete and Bas.
😂😂😂
Hes definitely is one of the most insightful and his use of imagery is inspiring to say the least. The only emcee i think comes close in that sense is maybe mos def. But how do you compare jehst and MF DOOM or atmosphere? You can't. Different +es to everyones styles. Your opinion definitely has a strong base, though.
try brad struts stuff his not well known coming from melbourne australia his flow and story telling is empicable
Very nice. Flava...
1 MY FAVS NO DOUT!!!!!!
Great track
It's a shame whoever recorded this version has sped it up slightly (probably left it on 33 instead of quartz lock)...
Which is why Jehst sounds slightly higher pitch and odd...I can't listen to this one after mine, it's too wierd...
Fortunately for me I have the vinyl and a really good quality recorded digital version too :)
Released on vinyl back '99! Part of the Premonitions EP (for those who don't know)
ws off his first ever release 10 years ago now he was young
the song was sped up, i have the original, and its slower and his voice is tad deeper, the song however is ill. and i have the lyrics. amazing.
Also is this the right title? I can't find this track on Spotify or Apple, thx
Fr bro ? U really thought that u're gonna find this on spotify ? C'mon

Hm... ya, put'r up and lets check it out. I cant realy imagine hearing it any slower... but maybe, it would sound kyna cool, Jehst's voice does sound a bit fast n'ths one.
