Pharoahe Monch - "Black Hand Side" feat. Styles P & Phonte (Music Video) 

Here in 2024🤜🏽🤛🏽

If you here 2023 you royalty🙌🏾👑💯

Pharoahe Monch is WAY too underrated.

I never get tired of this song, masterpiece

This whole album was brutally slept on.

The track is a response to the loss of connection we once had. Our Elders tried to instruct us to remind each other that we are a people apart, different, but together. We missed the last part. We fell apart, now things fall apart. Pharoahe is quite often ahead of his time, right smak in the middle of time, and pushing you ahead in time. With this one, he's pushin'. Pharoahe Monch, a MASTER in the Art form.

I love the subliminals in the video though. Notice all the negative things get black/white highlights and the positive in color. From beginning to end, It suggests that these are things we should stay away from: It starts off with P cutting fresh vegetables in color, then transitions to fried foods in black and white, tea/coffee in color, then newports in black/white, black love in color then, then violence in black/white. The subliminals and lyrics in this video mesh well......genious!

This is the kind of positive music that doesn't get played on the radio and these are the types of videos that do not get played on m.t.v. Instead we are fed garbage about how women are hoe's, men ain't shit and how women should be hoe's to get those men who ain't shit. Real hip hop is not dead it's just placed behind a thick veil.

Hip hop is not dead. IF it was, this wouldn't exist.

Crazy how this didn't get no run on the radio, serius. This shit is fiya

This song bring tears to my eyes

Dope how the director utilized the John Carpenter's "They Live" concept into this video for this very positive message!

Phaoraohe Monch Definitely in my top 5!!!!

Seven years later, this is STILL one of my favorite joints ever! Pharoahe is hands downs of the most gifted lyricists to ever touch the mic. Broken Again (P.T.S.D. album) is also one of many favorite joints from him as well.

Styles P is one of the most underrated hip hop artists out there, I have been listening to him since the lox and he's been on my top 10 ever since.

This nearly made me cry man. Damn. I love my Black people. We can be doctors, we can be psychiatrists, we can be engineers, we can be social works, and we can also be truly free. Its there, just reach for it man.

The 70's soul inspired instrumentals are ridiculous, love the string section.

in all honesty, this may be in top 3 hip hop songs of all time-the rhymes, the positive message, the violins, the beats, its just beautiful beyond words...

This is exactly the type of music we need to bring NY hip hop back to the golden era! Let's get creative and support these artists that actually have an art, which they excersise thru the music!

This is real hip hop with a real message as always truth and love shine 4 ever.

This song do make u wanna cry...tears n a smile on ya face..crazy feeling...music is powerful what would the world be without music like this...

I'm so glad there's still dudes like this around making real hip-hop albums

Been listening to styles P for years, Pharoahe slipped under my radar and I feel bad about that.. Such an amazing artist both of them. But then again I love most hip hop! Can relate to a lot of what they say!

The realest song ever. This video show the image of black people between negative/positive.That's the problem with us of this world of not getting along with ourselves.We wonder why other races don't take us seriously.

Pedi para o meu filho tocar essa música no violino para mim, como uma forma de ele se aperfeiçoar no instrumento.

REAL HIP-HOP IS NOT ON THE RADIO! It doesn't deserve to be combined with the mainstream.

Mad respect to my nigga phonte, no matter if he spits a verse or does the hook, kills it everytime.

Bring back that 90s flavor

Pharoahe is still one of the illest to ever bless the mic!

Pharoahe Monch and Black Thought are the greatest rappers imo. If you disagree I understand but I feel like years from now ppl will finally start understanding where Pharaohe was coming from. I've only been listening since Desire but I stand by my statement.

I'm just mad it took me 8 years to find this song 🤦🏾‍♀️

Monch, S.P., & Phonte kept it 💯

some phonte and 9th wonder then some pharoahe monch ..thats the best way for me to start my monday after the prayers and breakfast ...I,m good now ready to conquer.

Ladies and gentleman, real hip-hop

I cry everytime just knowing the black hand side of life. ... much love always micfan 2020

Ok duck down always holding hip hop down ... Been fucking with this label since the 90's ... Love this !!!

Monch is a genius!

This song off the hook..the beat,the video..lyrics..and that hook is crazy...this a deep one...they need make more songs together man..my life is another classic keep up the good work my boys...we need music like this

Straight classic

3:16 is my favorite part of the video. Need more positive images like that in hip hop.

Style Ps verse on this is epic.Of course Pharaoh ripped it.

Top notch production and lyrics... Inimitable pharaoh...

I love the way we greet each other... Handshake and a hug

This music is too deep and thought provoking it will never be in rotation on commercial radio. Pop culture controls the youth.

2 of the greatest P and P

Open your eyes, wake up my people. All my people...

This song especially... just gives PEACE TO MY SOUL.

it really baffles me how a positive song like this is nowhere near as popular as "my nigga"... i wanna hear more of this on my radio!

Tracks like this one, makes me thank GOD even more for giving me the vision at an early age........ Even though I didn't see it clearly during those times, I STILL DEVELOPED GREAT FOCUS! "YOUR WORST ENEMY ISN'T THAT OF WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN A CROWDED ROOM WITH NO MIRRORS, IT'S IN THE SAME ROOM WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE!" TALK LIKE A LEADER, WALK LIKE A LEADER AND THE YOUTH SHALL FOLLOW! R.I.P. FREDRICK DOUGLAS, NOBEL DREW ALI, NAT TURNER, MALCOM, MARTIN, and MARCUS GARVEY!

We need this more than ever on today we got to come together. Bruthas gone work it out

Don't know how I missed this one. Better late than never, added to some chill playlists.

Styles and Monch has always been a ill collabo since The Life.

This should be OUR theme song... Givin all my bros 5 on da black hand side frfr... Peace.

very underrated song and video

Pharaohe have one of the best flow of hip-hop

epic video, epic song, epic music, epic artist

love that beat

Certified classic...

Watching this makes me wanna cry and I’m almost 50.

we need more of this

This guys SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!!! Word Up!!!! some many hardcore rappers underrated like Talib Kweli, Nas, Pharoah Monch, Mos Def, Hi Tek..... but those other rappers like Jay z and lil wayne are millionairs from dissing women and rapping about guns and other crap... I just dont get it..........................Take me back in time Pleaseeeeeeee to relive Great moments with Great Music

before I die I want this to be the last song I listen to

That Chorus Sound Like A Song On Belly!...Dope shit!..... That Song Was The Devils Pie

I just randomly clicked this video-this is proof that Hip Hop isn't dead, it's just not played enough in the mainstream

Rise the black man

Always loved this song 💪🏾💯🔥💯🔥

Man I found this song 10 years ago.. in high school ..listen to it now and then. It’s absolutely amazing. The memories of simpler times

Pharoahe Monch and over 100 other of the greatest rappers including A Tribe Called Quest,AZ,Big Daddy Kane and Das EFX share their secrets of rapping in the books *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*. "Real Hip Hop is not on the radio."

Powerful song.

i absolutely love this song and the video is amazing..cant stop watching it..

Dude, the way he delivers his shit and what he says is unrivaled except for a select few.

Always listen to this song twice. Real Life Hip-Hop! "Pharoahe Monch and Black Thought" are the truth.

Real Hip-Hop?Right Here!!

Genius song and video!

Dam gotta appreciate this wow...

One of the best tracks off the album of the year and possibly the decade. Salute!

Phonte snatched the hell out of ol dude too tho

I wants me a pair of them 'Black Visionary Glasses'

Still one of the coldest songs videos I’ve heard and watched the way it be giving me chills.

''Every different day some black man dies''.. With Respect from Caucasus

FIRE!!! GOOD CONCEPT VID!!!

REAL HIP HOP STAND UP

If only the media put more real music out like this that really epitomizes the potential of the black individual and black culture, instead of constantly promoting ignorant rappers that de value us, our mental capacity, our women and our culture.

this video is incredibly well made and very powerful verses

I can't believe that a video and song like this only has a few thousand views and these tight jeans loose booty hole rappers have millions of views on their shit. Damn Shame. Shout out to Pharoahe and Styles, this is the kinda music the game's been missing and it also feels like Hip Hop is on it way back home to NY, where it should be.

Realest song every race dont matter gimmie five on the black hand side i love all races

Man that video and song is real! It says a lot about us as a people. Black folks we got a lot of internal and external animosity towards each other for whatever reason but there's tons of love towards one another too when we can build and learn from one another. The young gotta stop disrespecting the older heads and pay respect and vice versa. We gotta treat our women better and the women do the same. We gotta be better fathers and examples for our kids and for the brothers that do I salute y'all. We gotta stop dissing each other cause somebody is light skinned and somebody else is dark skinned cause we all black people. The dynamic of the conversation gotta change too, we can't talk about 400 years of slavery when we averaging over 400 murders plus some throughout the country on black on black crime. The white man ain't killing us at a crazy rate we are and the white man don't dictate your success or failure in this country you do. Believe and know that you have control over your own destiny and life. I ain't trying to preach but I got a lot out of that song from 3 of my favorite MC's. The black hand side is extended, much love.

dope great track

What! No verse from tiggalo? Hook was dope though anyway.

Thumbs up if your hand has a black hand side...

this is real hip hop real lyricism. pharoah monch is the truth

That hook crazy

early mannnn

Racism wont end if you wont let it.. Amazing how if a song came out called white hand side and it was about being white it would be racist

Great song

One of my prayers over the last decade has been a Dilla/Monch album... And that was a prayer before Dilla passed. That remains on my wishlist as an original head. Duckdown, can you make that happen??? I remain prayerful...

_Voted for Obama, hoping he wouldn't have that_ 😬😬😬 y’all learned your lesson yet?

Nice to see Pharoahe on track wit Styles P again...nice combo wit my man Phonte [Tigallo] too...always was feelin this joint

Three talented MC's

It's rare to see great artists collab and make somethin' as meaningful as this now a days.. props! Classic!
