Jedi Mind Tricks - "I Who Have Nothing" [Official Video] 

Whos here 2024????

I've crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge

I hope in 300 yrs vinnie is a famous wordsmith/philosopher. Songs like this deserve to be remembered. It shows how isolated and confused people felt in a world not made for them.

This is my favourite Vinnie Paz/ underground hip hop song of all time.

What speaks to me is when Vinnie is standing drinking a 40 as everyone in the background time lapses, probably me at every party I've ever went to lol

"I Who Have Nothing" I, I who have nothing... [Verse I: Ikon] Intersections in real time The umbro can circle in dimensions of the mind Atomic bonds The eternal time that defines The vanity of my insanity in thru time Will shine Like the night seeds under the moon The haunted corners of familiar rooms Yet i'm consumed With vanishing into thin air The realization that this shit is my cross to bare So where Did I think I could run away to see The people that decided to leave without asking me But we Decide to wait for happier tomorrows And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrows For my distractions the books of paper that i've scrawlened I'm eloquent in summer breeze and leaves just have fallen I crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends [Chorus:] I, I who have nothing I, I who have no I, I who have nothing I, I who have no [Verse II: Ikon] As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture Ability to endure contradiciton is a high sign of culture Verbal sculptures, self defacing It is not God or lunacy that I am facing But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd But I preferred To walk away from all the feuds To find my life is more confusing than a rubic's cube So i'm subdued In all my words of verbal prods To live alone one must be an animal or a God But it's official All of my pain is clear as crystal The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial But I can hit you And rest assured that i'ma last words I could give a fuck about ya secrets and ya passwords I can pass words with the ability to hurt you Patience is a virtue and knowledge is a ?commercial? I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to [Chorus] [Verse III: Ikon] Lost among the miracles, I stand alone And i've grown into a being that's sitting on top of throne I've known For many years that I would turn to rust I find a reason for another breath Before my return to dust I become one with science and mathematic and the rising of the sun I'm numb To all of those who blinded cannot see The chastiser of the enemy Perception requires duality Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body I have hardly, come across them who's holy Send them to the ?cheribem? to control thee Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold The battle field is new but the war is now old You can never see the merest shadow of a halo Above the head of evil jin who's deadly like tornado The world has become an aquarium Full of gaping fish with murderous mouths I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in Writing down murderous files I who have nothing but the lack of variation And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation [Chorus]

I swear Vinnie is the only person who can wear such flamboyant colours, a nose ring and call another man “Daddy” and still sound intimidating as fuck.

The story never dies as I replay

Glad I got to meet Vinnie and Ill bill in Toronto

Just a glimpse at the time of the lyrical skills of Vinnie....... Philly stand up

Still dope.

Vinnie Italian Proud ❤🇮🇹

Vinnie before puberty. Deep rhyme scheme even back then.

I who have nothing except loved ones to hide me from my past sins crushes me everytime i don't know maybe I still haven't heard this correctly.

👊🎧

Look at Stoupe cooking. 🧑‍🍳

Who jammin in 2022?

Ikon the Hologram!!

This is probably the most underrated song of all time. He wrote it at 20! It speaks to the existential human experience. It hints at the depersonalization disorder Vinnie would desribe struggling through many years later. This song is just brilliant in many ways. The album in general is not the most professionally produced obviously but this song is up there with the greatest JMT songs and the greatest rap songs period!

Vinnie: "Ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture" Friedrich Nietzsche: "Everyone knows at present that the ability to endure contradiction is a good indication of culture.” DAMN vinnie was out here quoting Nietzsche...meaningful lyrics

Damn, this track has walked along side me through life. Nothing but appreciation for Vinnie + Stoupe, they've always been raw from day one.

"To live alone one must be a beast or a god" - Aristotle As always, Pazienza has done his research.

This is literally the most relatable song i've ever heard. It's so bullshit knowing that the same bullshit will just happen over and over till you die.. "To live alone one must be an animal or a God" one of the deepest things ever. Everyone needs friends and people in their life to be happy but life's reality much more harsh, going through my struggle everyday by myself with absolutely no one is real pain. Even after saying all this millions of times, it all just happens over and over again with no changes.

This is one of the most intelligent street poetries to ever exist. Zone out to these lyrics and they should give you the chills

"To live alone one must be an animal or a god"- Aristotle Vinnie is well versed in philosophy. A genuine master at his craft with thought-provoking lyricism.

The Fluoride In my water makes me forget about conscious hip hop.

this is some next level shit... some of vinnie's most profound shit...tbh

Who listening 2023❤

Who else is dead in 2024

This was Vinnie Paz before going through puberty again....

I once met Vinnie and got to hang out with him backstage. I was so stoked to meet him. One of the only hip hop artists I truly liked and admired since I'm super picky and they have to have a certain sound for me to really dig them. My buddy was a promoter for them so I got to just spend all night chillin with him. One of the coolest dudes ever. I told him I'm not really into hip hop, and that I really only like unique shit and I'm more of a rock guy. But told him that I really liked him and Army of the Pharoahs which is true to this day... Vinnie goes "yea I ain't much into rap either, more of a metal guy myself". We hit it off immediately and it was a great night to remember I'll never forget that shit.

An extremely beautiful, poetic, and powerful song. I Who Have Nothing by Jedi Mind Tricks is a song that we all can relate to. We can all relate to the fact that for all of us, life is hard.

I'm listening in 2022 about to be 2023 this straight 🔥🔥🔥

Hip hop ain't dead it just lives underground

This song is pure genius and maybe one of the realest tracks out there

This track and "Is happiness just a word" go together hand and hand... It's almost sad to look back now but it makes sense.. the pieces of the puzzle while distorted still fit.

This is an all-time top 10 hiphop classic

This masterpiece will live for eternity.

back when hip hop meant something...

As I decay demons pray above me like a vulture. These are the most relatable words to me right now

Vinnie was a youngster here. Still rockin his shit till today. 10-2019

Man, he could write.

No one understands how awake and ahead of their time Jedi mind tricks was. Lyrically and the meaning behind the music is deep and honestly there’s nothing comparable to them in today’s music.

I just discovered this song today and I've already listened to it 10 times this is what hip hop was supposed to be and this song is proof magnificent piece of art boxcutter vinnie

Man if you weren’t around in the 90s you’ll never know

STOUPE !!! probably one of the only pieces of video footage you will see him in.

You can see how he developed depersonalization disorder, with these lyrics.... Probably one of the reasons i was so drawn to these types of sentiments when i was younger.

Genius. Ikon should've been world wide known legend. This young with such lyrics... damn, alien made for sure!

Here i am 14 years later, middle aged and angry. I who have nothing, but the beats of Vinnie paz. Thanks for a lifetime of music. 2023 and it still hits as hard as it ever has.

Very deep song on many levels. The best hip hop song ever created.

most people dont even realize how much he reffers to his depersonalization disorder.

Those fast sequences while Vinnie was lying in front of the TV half asleep always gets me, it has something melancholic in it

"...Perception requires Duality..." perfect

I, I who have nothing Intersections in real time The unbroken circle and dimensions of the mind The tie that binds The eternal tie that defines The vanity of my insanity in due time Will shine Like the night seas under the moon The haunted corners of familiar rooms Yet I'm consumed We're vanishing into thin air The realization that this shit is my cross to bear So where Did I think I could run away to see The people that decided to leave without asking me But we Decide to wait for happier tomorrows And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrow But my distractions the books of paper that I scrawl in I'm eloquent as summer breeze and leaves that have just fallen I've crawled in a corner hoping all of this will end With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture Ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture Verbal sculptures, self defacing It is not God or lunacy that I am facing But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd But I preferred To walk away from all the feuds To find my life is more confusing than a rubic's cube So I'm subdued In all my words of verbal prods To live alone one must be an animal or a God But it's official All of my pain is clear as crystal The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial But I can hit you And rest assured that I'mma last words I could give a fuck about ya secrets and ya past words I can pass words and their ability to hurt you Patience is a virtue and knowledge is of commercial I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to I who have nothing but the pain that I've refered to I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Lost among the miracles, I stand alone And I've grown into a being that's sitting on top a throne I've known For many years that I would turn to rust I find a reason for another breath Before my return to dust I become one with science and mathematics and the rising of the sun I'm numb To all of those who blind and cannot see The chastiser of the enemy Perception requires duality Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body I have hardly come across them who's holy Send them to the cherubim to control thee Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold The battlefield is new but the war is now old You can never see the merest shadow of a halo Above the head of evil djin who's deadly like tornado The world has become an aquarium Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in Writing down murderous files I who have nothing but the lack of variation And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation

Im sitting here scraping a rez bowl. Listening to this..... " I..... I have nothing! "

almost 1 million people saw this masterpiece give vinnie his million views! He really deserves it a great MC always in my top 10

_I've crawled in a corner hoping all of this will end..._ _With the knowledge that _*_love_*_ is just another word for _*_revenge._*

This shit right here a straight up MASTERPIECE........

At this point, i can spit this whole song

Still a banger in 2023

This is seriously one of the greatest songs in hip hop, ever.

to me this is hip hop at its best jedi mind came out the perfect time and this song just gets to me more every time I hear it when people haven't heard jedi mind this is the first track I show them

to live alone one must be an animal or a God

Who listening 2020?!

Patience is a virtue and knowledge is of commercial GODDAMED

I can totally feel the part where Ikon (Vinnie Paz) is drinking while everyone else is partying. It has some parallels to my issues. When I chill with my friends, they're literally playing the same radio shit and have no variation in taste of music. I hate to sound like those Goths from South Park, but they're conformists. It'd be fine if they listened to country, R&B, metal, classic rock, or anything else, I'd even be fine with a fraction of them playing popular music, but they all listen to the same shit. I'm not trying to be intolerant of their taste in music, but everyone listens to the same thing. They don't have their own tastes, they let what's #1 on RU-vid and playing on big radio stations tell them what they like. I figure I might as well go in another room and bump this.

this is art

And all these years later, this is the one song I constantly return to. I listen to this on repeat for at least a few times and just get lost in thought on those tough mornings. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a beautiful piece of relatable art Vinnie, much respect.

"There comes a time in every man's life when he's gotta handle shit up on his own"

how can 50 people not like this shit , I mean c'mon

"But we Decide to wait for happier tomorrows And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrows"

One part of me wants the whole world to know about Vinnie... the other part wants to be selfish, cause only the realest know what's up already

"I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends"

Song still hitting strong 2023.

One of the hardest ever, truly.

Early vinnie! Shitz real

Ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture

Who’s listening in 2023?

vinnies best solo track

Still after all this time it's still my favourite song in the world. Don''t think it will ever change.

I like sipping 40s alone while listening to this just saying

2024😢

I call this smart hiphop

I always come back to this.

this video looks like it was made in 1997-1999 or so... and i fucking love it

Just found out that the last part comes from " Pharcyde - Runnin´ " , I recommend listening to it ;) There comes a time in every man´s life When he´s gotta handle shit up on his own Can´t depend on friends to help you in a squeeze Please , they got problems of their own

“To live alone one must be an animal or a god”……..my man’s was quoting Aristotle back in the day!! UNREAL!!

Still listening in 2023

This song is too deep ikon was a genius and now vinnie aint as artistic but fuck it man still one of my favorite rappers cant wait for the aotp album .

I just want to tell everyone here I love you. I always do this on my favourite videos. I listen to the type of artists that I can love not for being artists but because they're just really inspiring and motivational. I just have love for everyone and I hope that future generations will read my words in a better state of living than we are currently. Humanity is not destined to destruction, we just have to fight for a better world

i miss this paz, the new one focuses more one killing and tormenting people

made right before hiphop went to shit

“To live alone one must be either a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher.” Nietzsche

"To be alone, one must be an animal or a God". Deep

vinnie sounds like a classic legendary emcee..then he went into some next grimey mode where its like he was released from a dungeon after smoking 1000 backwoods

I love how he just stands there drinking his 40 at the end there. Fuckin G.

I think I listened to this about a hundred times in a row. Awesome!

I who was just trying to find a luther vandross song, find the lyrical personification of human suffering.

ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture

The lyrics of this song make an epic quotations books. Truly Poetic.
