Listen to cunninlynguists, joey badass, cannonhead, bas, aesop rock support the people keeping it alive still. Give me recommendations if you got any too.
@@ronhitler-barassi2624 It may not be the '90s, but the late 2000s & even early 2010s music sounded different from the mid & late 2010s & so forth. I think it merits nostalgia.
"I rock with the Roots like the Giving Tree Powerful, bigotry at work, me and my people got history These rappers dumb it down considerably We get it poppin' like a hit chorus The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us Ubiquitous, and we lay the law like Leviticus Ten years ago we made history so they missing us" Already been said by Kweli.
If you ever have the opportunity to see these guys perform live..... do it. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. The chemistry between these two is just incredible.
Mos and Kweli did a 2 hour show in Toronto 2 weeks ago. It was incredible. The energy in building was ridiculous. Black, white, asian, brown, everybody jus enjoying good music. Real hip hop bring ppl together. When they dropped History, the spot blew up!! ...RIP Dilla
A lot of highly skilled mc's through the history of hiphop, from then to now. But Mos Def is without a doubt in my personal top 5, when it comes to lyrics and flows.
some of the freshest and most profound lines in rap right here: "I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold Celebrations were going on Some were happy, some were sad Some felt bad from being good Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change But they never leave, they here to stay"
Some were happy, some were sad Some felt bad from being good Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change But they never leave, they here to stay
"And don't call it comeback in particular We will never blend into ephemera or Fade into peripheral, transition of the minister's original We're broadcast clear without diminishing Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures administers Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials Served over Dilla time signatures It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness" This outro still blows me 6 years later, I can never wrap my head fully around it. Blackstar Keep Shining!
Damn...Mos Def Killed the 3rd Verse!!! Ya wasn't listening: [Mos Def] And don't call it come back in particular We've been effort blending to affirmer or Fade into peripheral,condition of the minister's original We're broadcast clear without diminishing Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials Served over Dilla time signatures It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness [Me] Da' Fuck?!?
Yasiin Bey quoting Talib from "Beautiful Struggle". That's one of my favourite songs from Talib Kweli. If you haven't heard it, please do so immediately
For all the brothers and sisters of the past present and future, who have fought in the struggle, regardless of whether they’re alive or dead. #blacklivesmatter
one of the best if not the best rap duo in the universe. "again and again newness" Mos & Kweli killed it "10 years ago we made history so they missin us" Blackstar!!! "stove top burnin"
He's keeping the real rap alive and kweli too, most rappers talk about sex ,drugs ,and violence, he talks about real stuf,f not that crap on the radio.
[Intro] Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in" Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon Some in winter, some in June It's our code, it's the natural The science is a jewel For me and mines, yours and you Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo [Verse 1] I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold Celebrations were going on Some were happy, some were sad Some felt bad from being good Some felt good from being bad , feelings pass and change But they never leave, they here to stay Holiday, holiday, happy birthday Teenage love, the first cut run deep Soul on flesh , this is the Brooklyn streets Year of the Ox, seven and three M.D. , the history (come on) Every soul's got one of these (yes) It's where you been and where you be And without understanding you cannot proceed Complete, the start and the end Then it just go round again [Hook] Again and again, brand new Again and again, so fresh Again and again, newness [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] I was born in the decade of decadence where they worship what they have Ford was president, do the math The war was ended when the Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon We was like, bye; we was gone, let bygones be bygones I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way Where the hug you with the firearm, try it on Like new school clothes , Black Star official Smash when we do a show, it's facts, no mystery I'm down with the crew like Mussolini in Italy I rock with the Roots like the Giving Tree Powerful, bigotry at work, me and my people got history These rappers dumb it down considerably We get it poppin' like a hit chorus The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us Ubiquitous , and we lay the law like Leviticus Ten years ago we made history so they missing us [Outro] And don't call it comeback in particular We will never blend into ephemera or Fade into peripheral, transition of the minister's original We're broadcast clear without diminishing Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials Served over Dilla time signatures It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness
