Evidence - You (prod. DJ Premier) [Official Video] 

Still bumping this in 2024

This came out 5 years ago and STILL sounds fresh as hell. Good music is timeless music my dudes.

10 years and this track is still as dope as day one.

That's real hip hop folks, paying respect from Greece

Dj premier is awesome,always original and still true to his flava

It's funny that you can recognize a Premo beat, the second you push the play button.

Respect from South Africa

I am older than Yoda and still listening. This shit never gets old. "All I need in this life is 1 snare 1 mic direct flights and Nike 1 airs"

Dudes Hatin on E.V are the same ones bumpin Drake and think Evidence is a freshman. Dudes an underground legend. Show some respect. Evidence is and always has been that real hip-hop shyyt💯

I'm convinced. DJ Premier got married at 18 years old. To a turntable #respect

BEAT!!! FIRE!!! dope joint my 1st time hearing it n been playing it over n over again. NEED more music like this!! BIGG UP!! PREM N DOC.

Isn't it crazy how this video is 9 years old and to me it still feels only a couple months new. 💯

Another smooth cool underground tune and one of my favorite too....the dude is nice with that flow people...feel love and enjoy people

respect from Serbia ! ! !

I love that alchemist is standing with him even though that’s a dj premo prod 👍👍

Respect from Las Vegas EAST SIDE!!!

Respect from POLAND !!!

"part of being a star is getting burned in flames."

Such a great voice. Combine that with the best producer of all time you get this utter magic. What a track.❤️

Evidence and dilated peoples and gangstarr way ahead for their time. Still listening since I was 16 now 37

Mad combo, Evidence and Premier keeping it real! Peep the cavalry for more dope!

Microphone check 1, 2 [Chorus] Who's the one that's been running the race? Me Who's the one that's been running in place? You And who's the one you tried to find, so tough But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes [Verse 1] I'm on another level, I mean another label Players don't die, we try our luck at other tables And when I lose, I learn - I'm still winning major I jump forward then back and through the missing stages A perfect day to make a perfect entrance A perfect sentence, I can't perfect But I just keep pushing pencils, no fake trace stencils Do it all by hand so they have respect I know the feeling when you're dealing with accomplishments Wishing they would diss you Instead they give you compliments That's what made you who you are, not what you became Part of being a star is getting burned in flames Kind of ill, the mind's a trip 20/20 when we broke but blind when rich I just see it as a sign but kept rhyming instead And keep lighting up these pads like Simon Says [Chorus] Who's the one that's been running the race? Me Who's the one that's been running in place? You And who's the one you tried to find, so tough But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes [Verse 2] One's a lonely number, two's the first loser So how the fuck can you win and become a drug abuser? Slappin' these beats, I'm no snoozer Six million ways to die, go ahead and choose one! We from the same block, but all we getting is the same guap I think one of us needs to shine Only room for one, one of us needs to go Sink a boat and only one'll survive Caution at the wheel, Westside when I drive slow First sign of tidal waves when you see the tide low Wanted for murder and theft, they said I'm liable I shot the sheriff but didn't steal his rifle I can't define what's real and what's imagination Since I signed that deal before my graduation I went from running track and field to tracks with feel To Grammys with Ye before Late Registration [Chorus] Who's the one that's been running the race? Me Who's the one that's been running in place? You And who's the one you tried to find, so tough But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes [Verse 3] Fast-forward: No kids, one car, no Rollie One crib, trips to Chile with kush in the Philly Every journey starts with one step, that's on me One foot in front of the other like, "Come on, feet!" One life, one love, bat a G for one glove For Mike rest in peace, shot a bullet from one snub I keep it pushin' as one does, you only get one shot One glance, one chance at one buzz One never knows hopes and dreams The farther we fly, the closer it seems Back to the one squared All I need in this life is one snare One mic, direct flights and Nike One Airs One of a kind, still one to my grind One time for your motherfucking mind When I flow, know that the rain soon comes See, you might win some, but you just lost one [Chorus] Who's the one that's been running the race? Me Who's the one that's been running in place? You And who's the one you tried to find, so tough But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes

Respect from Poland ;)

Huge Respect from Denmark...

3:03 "You might win some but you just lost one" ~ Reverence to Laren Hill, female rapper. Am I the only one that caught that?

I love the madlib shoutout ! "One foot in front the other, like Cmon feet"

Is beyond me how can someone would dismiss this for mumble rappers and saturated trap beats.

Over-the-wall and liberated beats

Respect from New York

Respect from Aus

Respect from Earth Planet !!!

Respect From Brazil

Glad to see 4 mil in views..This song is fun and sounded effortless. Ev just keeps getting better through the years and hell still be without the props he deserves when its all said and done. Meanwhile, ill enjoy it while i can...

Hard to believe this came out almost 10 years ago. I remember picking up Cats & Dogs on day 1 at the now closed HMV in Montreal. Shit still slaps

Respect from Cape Town, South Africa!

klasa sama w sobie

Ev is one of the few rappers who can chill me out and blow my mind at the same time.

respeito from brazil

He is right about the number one if you play

respect from italy!! your country!

It was unreal and cool to see how nice a person Evidence is. He played at a small venue and came outside shook all our hands and asked if we are good. After that one of the better more intimate shows I’ve been too. Will remember that forever

Rhymesayers is probably the most amazing record label in the history of Hip-Hop. And that is a strong accusation to make, which is why I made it.

Great song!!!!salute from mozambik

respect from Switzerland :)

respect from California

Amerika born rap , amerika kill rap , amerika resurect rap again , 95 % of amerikan rappers ( in this days are more than horroble ) like 95 % of negative comments here are more than low

one life one love

Man, that is hip hop the way it's supposed to be. A good rapper and a really good DJ, and lot's of scratches!

Who ever says this is boring or wack clearly hasn't been through anything bad in their life or dont know what it's like being a failure. Cause this song is really for those kind of people, and for most part only those kind of people get the message and can relate to it.

I started to stray from the path of hip hop and the righteousness it represents, listening to the garbage that is mainstream structured manufactured rap. Happily I've reverted to the essence, the BOOM BAP, the jazzy elegance, the beauty that is real hip hop. I'd like to reach out to the lost souls who did the same, by throwing myself into the fray, but I need your help. No one pays attention to something that has no value. I need your value, you're all my team. Check out my latest Madlib freestyle and let me know my next direction. To all who takes the time to read this. Thank you, I appreciate you.

RESPECT FROM TANZANIA!!!

RESPECT from Greece ! :)

Damn - DJ Premier , The Alchemist , Evidence and Statik Selektrah together in one room with many music equipment.

Like if you appreciate REAL HIP HOP,not TEKASHI69!

Man, I’ve been listening to dj premiere beats since 92 and have yet to hear a wack beat. I certainly don’t expect to start now.
