Jidenna - Knickers 

...

marry me lol I'm classic but I don't know if I'm wise or not

lol

Either him or Idris oh lawd 😱

Yep, the man got his degree at Stanford University.

+Junubia I thought I was the only one who couldn't take it all either! Whew! He's Nigerian-American too and we all are seeing that Nigerian's are winning right now in the music industry! My people, my people!

Nigerians are definitely winning in the music industry! I'm not even West African but Afro beats is slaying my life. Jidenna is representing the American branch of music very well for yall!

Natural hair is beautiful africa is beautiful African Americans are beautiful awesome celebrate the mother Africa and the rich culture of all her children 🔥🔥❤️🇺🇸

Am jst hearing this n yr words my nigga... the greatest people ever..to be the greatest people ever u have 2 master the pain...

+kabadanke X"D....LOL

kabadanke oooh lord they at it again, oh lord black magic againnnn

AGREE! , Jidenna, Stromae from Belgium and Benjamin Clementine from UK. Very poetic and intelligent instead of the usual garbage that's out there now.

TheShyscarlet I couldn't agree more, especially Stromae, I'm so sad that Stromae is taking a break but I guess family comes first

drovid008 exactly. I'm listening like this dude can't make an average song.

oh so it's wordplay oh might have to delete my comment

PUT MY NIGGAS ON! Just like the wordplay in BAMBI.

Genius, I’m still not over it ☺️

+TheTonyThunder Its a good song and I see your point if this was only in the US, but in the UK Knickers means ladies' underwear, so the meaning gets lost across the pond... but the video is flawless!

+Smudge that's what I was thinking lol

its good to know people like to wear knickers when they go out at least in America!

I love it

same.

Yeah, repping!

+Lord Jaiye He is SO "AFRICAN-American"

+NEWSKULL nah hes actually nigerian american

It may be true that there has never been a better time. But it doesn't mean that now is a good time to be black in America. #ripterrencecrutcher

It's a pretty good time if you actually look at statistics. More whites are shot by cops than blacks per annum. Welfare systems are in place (even though they're fucking awful and really just damage communities) for anyone struggling and if Trump wins, I can fucking guarantee an increase in jobs for black communities. In fact, black unemployment raised during Obamas 8 years with him promising "oh look at me I'll help". With the election of Trump, jobs from companies come back to the US, illegal immigration is slowed/near stopped so that companies won't hire illegals to do jobs for cheaper despite them in most cases being under qualified than those living in the areas with high unemployment. What you have to understand is that people are shot due to incidents, whites are too at a higher rate. Ever tried to see what a cop has to do? In a situation like these it's so high pressure. Plus, I hate to break it to you but Terence was hardly an innocent man. conservativetribune.com/truth-crutcher-bad-for-media/?Facebook&THENewVoice& bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/20/terence-crutcher-shot-hands-heres-definitive-proof/

employment has gone up in all communities. trump is raising taxes on the middle and lower classes while lowering taxes for the rich. trump is not going to bring companies back to america considering he has factories not in America. also their are waaaaay more white people in America than Black's so saying more white are shot black people is not relevant.

yaaaaaasssss God Bless America!!!!! LOve and peace to US and the middle 3ast. LOve everywhere

Gods Best PREACH!

Very...

Ardiansyah Putra yes

BY FAR!!! This is one of my faves from Jidenna- so clever! His wordplay is sick!

+measchueax that too lol

Katera Times Gurl ima need you to get ingot he comment section a little bit earlier if you want any relevance for your comment to stand on.... I mane at this point your thoughts on anything is null and void so #begone

+Joseph Credit I agree

Yes to not being afraid of his blackness! No black person should

+Joseph Credit wow ... Man great Comparison

+mod len YES! ... it is one thing to recognize the existence of a system that maintains privilege based on color and or how well you align it, It’s entirely another to internalize one’s own inferiority and accept that is the only model that we can use to make sense of the world. It is so sad that many of us suffer from black inferiority. Black Inferiority which a direct outcome of White supremacy finds expression in the black world in different forms - and is given different names - but at its core the is same thing. ‘Slave mentality’ is no different from ‘colonial mentality’ - its equivalent in Africa. It’s an implicit acceptance of some kind racial or civilizational hierarchy where White people are placed on the top and everyone else assumes a position somewhere in between - so all the oppressed preoccupy themselves in the politics of placing themselves above each other in this hierarchy .This fight alone in itself is very problematic and reflects the intellectual illiteracy in the black world globally of the black experience in the context of white supremacy.

+NEWSKULL very well said

yo he is my ideal my mom said I could see him since she won the lottery WE ARE ON THE JIDENNA DOOR STEP OMG

KDsJourneys Off the charts talented. Im digging how he pays homage to the oldschool brothers in suits and dress shoes.That was thier fashion back then. It's rare now.Strong impactful lyrics to match.

yo man I'm trying to sleep tomorrow I got to be in Orlando to sing with jidenna

Aniyah Torres You are so luck!! Invite me :(

my joint

This is going to go over a lot of people's heads lol

+QueenVirtuoso - Ditto Sister Queen.

SteveStevens - Most quotable track of 2016 so far - Easy!

so deep! that line stood out to me too.

+Abrihet Morez - Indeed - Glad to hear Music like this still coming out ... given the current state of 'popular music'. Peace.

xoxStyleStruck411xox it's because girls can't twerk to music like his. which is a shame

ikr

xoxStyleStruck411xox he's speaking truth many don't wanna hear that

3 million view now. He's doing a good job

Sooo true

Yes!!! I'm digging the Diaspora love.

*****

when I married a black woman, my Grandma who served in WWII in the Waves told me " I was in love with Cab Calloway, but I couldnt tell anyone" lmao. Cab was and still is the shit.

+gingergreek knickers are the pants

lmao same tell me about it

ginger pubes 4 lyfe

That's a slang so like.........

Roght

+Sagine Pierre-Louis right! I was watching and wishing this existed again in real life. I want to go and get my life in this black harlem renaissance magicalness.

+heatmopwho RIGHT!!!

+heatmopwho you ain't never lied about this one #Yasssssss it's so crazy because my grandma grew up in thus era and she used to tell me all about these types of parties... I'm a person that loves vintage EVERYTHING so this is right up my alley 😍!!!

The choreography in his videos ALWAYS capture my interest!

heatmopwho YASSS I wholeheartedly agree!!

this....

viceromer123 yeah if I only heard classic man I wouldn't even care about this glorious artist. and then I heard helicopters and long live the chief, Now Jidenna is one of my favorite artists. Main stream music sources need to play long live the chief and he will blow the fuck up even more than he already is. Then again the radio would just over play it and make ppl hate it sooo nvm

is amazing?

Nah you should honestly keep searching. Honestly there is some mainstream rap/hip hop that are dumb and get overplayed but I search for gems like Jidenna and undercover songs. You need to stop looking at the surface and search deeper. There's a lot of great hip hop out there that doesn't talk about bitches and drugs. But then again I do get turnt when Young thug or Migos comes on.

Hits

its coming he said hes going to drop one

+John Uzumaki I hope so, he's just risking his buzz ..some of these classic tracks are old. They're dope as hell, but people get picky when they've heard a song a ton of times. I'm good though, I would LOVE all these tracks on one album.

and he got kendrick on a song but they need to make at LEAST one more that sounds like chief dont run

he is...

bññkkaiafwasde

+gcole lopez Lmfao

this is my year song

Truly lol it's lit

Look for your local swing dancing scene and you may find something similar. However, from my experience, most swing scenes are light on the brown skinned people and you wont find if any hip hop songs there... it is for swing dancing after all. But that's essentially what he's done, taken hip hop and placed it in a swing dancing environment.

That implies he was disrespected. He was not

❤ fr

+Artem Gordon 2:54 is my favorite part..

+Njenga John Ohh mayne , at 1:05 everything gets cool.....

Tammatha Billings..... Maybe I can take u Dia... Wat abt dat

2023 and I'm still here!

well said dude.

Oh yeah cuz classic man definitely didn't promote violence or drug dealing

NCsurvival1. Regarding that particularly track I would agree with the fact he speaks on adult themes but correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that we were looking at a video with the song entitled "Knickers" which is what I was referencing when I wrote my opinion

The "Cab Calloway" of Hip Hop: Couldn't have said it better. So classy, so real.

mariah knox did u check out his album the chief its very good

Lol Because they can't touch him! What are they going to insult him about? lol he's a 1000 times better educated, belongs to completely different class, he's got style and grace. Not from the "ghetto" background they are used to and they wouldn't even know how to insult him 😂. And oh he's unapologetically black and hella proud of it! I think they will just be confused lol

unapologetically black and hella proud... but he is mixed race, half black and half white.

Jason Pham yawwwnnn

Steve DeNiro u dumb fuck he is saying Knickers

Sasuke Uchiha well aware of what he said fuckboi. now have a fuckin seat.

tubeyhamster your right that was lit

tubeyhamster yes!!!

tubeyhamster ikr my favorite part

The dancers in this video are amazing!!!!!

I think it's bc people would get the knickers and Niggas mixed up and think he's talking just about his Niggas lol just my guess

+Traellis Miller he means nigga when he says knickers... lol

it's because he's the same as everyone else

+Traellis Miller lol he means exactly that! No confusion lol

Cause you can't put a song on the radio that has the word niggas in it like 20 times and knickers (which sounds like niggas) 20 times as well. This song is fucking awesome though. This is the only rap I listen to. Jidenna.

Bianca sellers yup mee too and this coming from another Bianca what a coincidence it's like a club with an old fashion ballroom style lol

There's actually a couple bars just like this in Orlando.

@@carboy101 bout to move to Orlando then
