ODDISEE - OWN APPEAL (Official Video) 

"With the attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor"

Underated is not the word, this is a timeless classic.

Awesome how J. Cole, Oddisee and Consequence have all sampled the same song, and all made masterpieces with the sample.

best hip hop song of the decade underrated af

song deserves atleast 500 k. mainstream can't understand real raw hip hop like this.

Real MCs will always be appreciated.

I wish America would give young hip-hop artists like this and Clear Soul Forces, more media coverage. Then the tastes of our young African people would be influenced by something more positive and progressive. I'm encouraged that this kind of music is still being made. Shout out, straight from Jozi, South Africa!!!

I've been listening to this song since 2013. Periodically, i come back experiencing it. You've written an immortal piece man. Never forget it. Peace, from Italy.

y'all complain that he is not as known as Iggy azealia and so on, but in my opinion, the fact that he has not gone there is more authentic and cool. it's like he perceives his music as art and not business, which is laudable

What rap is meant to sound like. Keeping hip hop alive. Thank you.

That jacket is mad nice

The pure poetry and talent this man paints with his lyrics, is just inspiring. Everytime I hear this track it makes me think...

2013 was a good year for underground hiphop

I appreciate what Oddisee is doing for hip hop music. Much love from South Africa.

I support artists like this because he has passion for his music.

"I never asked to be born." "My thoughts like meals, I'm a sucker for the seconds." "This a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one."

I had never heard of Oddisee before, I randomly stumbled upon this 5 minutes ago... but I've heard enough for me to go and buy this album, how is this not playing everywhere?!

dope song to listen to when you get up outta bed in the A.M...

I might be too young to ever really know tupac, biggie, nas, or any other rappers from back then, but man I'm happy to have rappers like this guys that can give a good taste of those days, I can still lisen to music that aint trash.

"Everything you want ain't always good for your soul"

still in my playlist after all these years. Classic.

This song is incredible, one of my favourite hip-hop tracks of all time. Hands down.

The Windy City is looking good! Oddisee needs to have another show in Chicago!

I'm 38 and this is the Chicago sound I grew up with not that Drill shit! Blessings to this real MC, notice I said MC not rapper!

that "93 till infinity" line !! dope shit.

I'm pissed off at myself for discovering this so late...better late than never, though...

Oddisee is one of the greatest talents in music. Nothing but respect for who he is and what he represents as an artist.

Great Feeling.

boom baps officially back

1. Oddisee does not want to be Mainstream. It calms the fire you once had for Hip Hop in the first place. 2. He loves where he's at, he doesn't complain. 3. The fans of the Underground will never go away. They will never "Change The Song" if you will. On ANY dope rappers. Instead, our fanbase grows stronger each and everyday.

The fact that this song can bring 10 million people together in one little space is Beautiful. God flows through all of us. This song speaks volume.

Original sample by The Rhythm - The World Is A Place. Also sampled by Marcelo d2 -1967 and J cole - Sideline Story

“From 93 til infinity “ he murdered this🔥 2018 anybody??

What he says in the first 40 secs, regarding how he is inspired to craft his music, are words of wisdom.

the real hip-hop classic

Wow, it's 10 years since i heard this for a first time, helped me through hard times.... Life is fast....

One of my favorite MCs at the moment. Digging the positive vibes and the Biggie sample.

sounds oldschool and awesome

Still one of the best hiphop songs ever made, the life-lessons you share won't be understood if you didn't lived life through these experiences that give these lessons. Beautyfull depth.

Anyone else been coming for this track for years?

"With the attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor" I wish that gratitude is what me, and my wheelchair bound brother, saw when we waited (in the cold) behind the Knitt at Treefort to thank Amir (Oddisee), and his band, for such an incredible show, as well as express just how much his music has helped guide me through a lot of really trying times, particularly when our mom unexpectedly passed away.. Unfortunately, what we saw was the attitude of wealth... no signatures, no pictures, no words... his bandmates seemed very appreciative, but Amir basically just strolled off to the hotel, and the band followed. I never even bothered trying to talk to him the way I watched him essentially ignore a girl that was also fan that was trying to talk with him. I play music, I've played sets, I know it's more often than not, long, hard, and tedious work to give an astounding set.. but he just walked on by totally unphased. I wasn't necessarily insulted, or anything like that, I was just really disappointed... disappointed that he was nothing like how his music made me think he would be in person. I still enjoy his music, Afterthoughts will always be particularly sentimental to me. I suppose I just hear his non instrumental stuff differently now.. this isn't any kind of dig, it just is what it is.. - (for comparison, after Dave Chappelle's stand up set, while his motorcade was ready to roll out behind the Morrison, and his security already gave us a firm "No" to a quick thank you, Dave walked right out some 50 feet to my brother and I in the parking lot to talk to us, actually thanked us, and took a picture... that's the guy that turned down 50,000,000$ showing some genuine gratitude to the people he realizes he gets to inspire, as well as make laugh, & think. No one gets a second chance at a first impression.)

6 years later and I still gravitate towards this tune. 🔥

Masterpiece.

I came back in 2024 and realised there still isnt a better song made... s/o to you bro

All you lucky people hearing this for the first time. Much love

This artist is amazing. He taps into the quintessence of Rap and knows what music is supposed to be about.

Literally mentally helped me . Late night . Feeling down . Needed this bruh . And ima be alright !

This man is real. I love it.

I've never heard a producer speak exactly how I feel about what I make in the same way he does. Really makes me respect Oddisee a whole lot more.

Hold up, a popular rapper spittin truth and knowledge?

this man make wearing glasses look so cool

man there are so many talented rappers out there I thought 2010s had a few lyricists

Man, I found this song in 2013, everytime I hear it now I am transported back to that time, it's scary how fast time moves

Mic drop so hard it made a star from pure heat

bong rips to this

This is real Hip Hop. Rappers of The Lost Art.

This is so dope! You definitely rep Sudan well with your amazing music

This song changed me man. Favorite song forever.

Did he really say 93 to infinity?!? Hella smooth

Damn man thank God for Oddisee

real hip hop starts with being real

we need more ODDISEE

joint's been on my cycling playlist for three years now... and i do over 100 rides a year! never tire of hearing of it

Who watched this at 1 million like 10 years ago

Does anyone else hear the flying lotus/ Nujabes type influence in his production? I love it its a softer style of hip hop that is very condusive to alternative rappers like substantial. Mad props to Odisee for killing it as a producer and a rapper.

I'm so honored that This guy over here is originally from my country "The land of the blacks "SUDAN🇸🇩".

The most underrated and overlooked musician out there. It annoys me that there is so much trash being produced in hip hop which is so prominent at the moment, yet Oddisee is still fairly unrecognised.

Even after 7yrs I can't help but come back to this track. Much love and respect from NZ man

I love my city. Ain’t no other city like Chi-town. Such a great song and awesome lyrics. Peace and love my friends.

Oddisee is a diamond in the rough. A unknown Legend.

One of the best songs of all time

Hands down, one of the most talented lyricists to do it

Hip hop isnt dead just hidden

This the type of music that shoul've been 'forced down our ears' Not that mainstream shi we rm hearing growing up in this era... Real hip will always win

Real Hip-Hop...DMV

That 2nd verse is full of goosebumps. And the third verse is more dangerous than a radioactive chemicals.

Heard this when it came out , was a huge part of my childhood.

I remember hearing this song 10 years ago when I met Oddisee searching for hip hop on YT, from that moment I knew I had found a great musician, two years later he released The Good Fight and it became my favorite album. Oddisee accompanied me in many difficult moments and thanks to him I am here.

first time hearing this. flow is flawless. this is real hip hop. big respect to Oddisee. super dope

He been doing his thing for a while...glad to see people catchin on

Incredible

This song strikes that philosophical nerve.

Wow!.....one more time!!!

First heard this in 2014, I keep coming back to this, I play it every time I'm roaming around a new city. You captured that beautifully. Props from Finland.

His music speaks to me on another level. It's real and down to earth and full of feeling. ❤️

I'm thankful for MWN bringing me here.

I forgot about him, I love how he flipped that sample, thats the best one I've seen so far. This is sick, Im about to get this album

i'm 51 and just discovered joey badass, earl sweatshirt and capital steez a few months ago. REALLY happy to now add oddisee to artists I need to hear more of...

Jay Z should just give this dude some money for existing, and keeping the soul of hiphop alive. Services to Hiphop.

Love this type of soulful/jazzy type rap. Some shit you can real just groove to.

Real hip hop at its purest form! Real shit still exists 🔥

Still playing this in 2022.🎵👑 You can feel its sovereignty.

This guy is So Dope and underrated, I got hip To'em ah few years ago

"This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright." --Oddisee Anyone with any struggles raise ya hands.

when I heard this I felt a spark was lit in my brain for some reason I feel different now feeling more motivation too idk y

"I make all my rhymes outside" i feel that so much

This a classic the fact im still here all these years later just goes to show how great this song is thanks oddisee

This track has always been so dope

This is gold man, this is pure gold
