Vic Mensa - Down On My Luck (Official Music Video) 

thanks for clearing up the confusion

And Kid Cudi is slowly but surely turning into him. Crossdressing and doing all kinds of shit.

LITERALLY

This music would work so much right now.. but he made himself hated

lmao not true at all vic was popping way before this song

Kaytranada has the best hip hop house in the game

​@Novice Sprinter she's not a rapper but the connection is there

Truman bro this is just normal pop music

@@TheMarsupialCow one month later but dont think its just normal pop music, this got some house references like sampling inner city good life, mensa is from chicago where house como from, this is just rap house but well done tho

azealia banks has been doing it way before this and better. but this is still pretty good.

@@zay4643 yes, songs like the big beat or 1991 i think, sad things that nowadays she dont drop nothing

Truman Facts 100%

Fr could’ve been on the charts

he’d be the male azaelia banks but they both threw away their hype (granted for pretty different reasons)

He probably wouldv'e been a bigger superstar.

Kauai Paradise exactly, but some people really like that stuff and think its good music. what a fucked up world

I agree with u about him being better than tyga but i dont think hes better than migos but we all have our opinions like me

Not down with it. Sorry bro. Hope you don't dislike me now 😯

Dis shit sucks ass

Your in Miami and play this? I would've kicked you out too, this is a nice song but people want to hear bangers in a place like Miami some turnup music which nothing is wrong with that

funny thing is he changed up his style but he still sounds good. Unfortunately, if he stuck with this type of sound he would have exploded.

Waaaaaaay Left.

No now he makes music true to himself and it's way better. You never understood him if you think he went way left lmao

Yup this the music that get you the wypipo fan base. 😂 That’s where the real money at. B.O.B was on the same ish.

Fax

Forreal bro smh

Agreed!

Facts my boi!

3AM at work and this popped in my head. So glad it did

⁠@@MrKuritsukap😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Fr lol

So true!!! Or a football game where you're choosing your team…

😂😂😂😂

It really works well when you're stirring a nice hollandaise sauce on the stove.

+Sarah Allen no

You spelled gay wrong

GasnGo lmaoooo

For good reason too

Rushdi Valentine I agree

100%

I was just coming on here to say that. He needs to go back to this instead of his fake deep movement.

DeAnna Mckinney how is he fake deep?

pj senga I dont believe in his music about politics hes just fake to me..he needs to keep making music like this instead of trying to be socially conscious. Its not working or believable. Its not even successful.

He didn't know what he wanted to do in his career and waited too long

He's a great rapper. I blame his agents. If he had the right people producen him, he wouldn't result to this xxx bull$%÷+.

That’s crazy cuz this song is too smooth, he definitely squandered his time

God he could've been sooo huge and innovative, but I think he struggles from depression and identity issues. You can hear in his interviews. Surrounded by leeches, i think. Maybe got jelly of Chance a bit. From could be most influential to most L's in a year.

Typical Gemini's

I low-key wish it was just him and sia. I loooovvvveee Kanye. But its not like he is producing anything anymore. He's just like Rihanna now, in that he commissions tons of people to send him tons and tons of demos.

solarge knowles kanye's verse was badass tho you can feel the passion through the speackers

solarge knowles he still produces dude he finalizes everything and he wrote four five seconds. kanye has ALWAYS used a large team, thats who DONDA is his creative team

solarge knowles The heck are you on about? His last 3 solo albums are very much so all him. Just cus he has a large creative team to help him doesn't mean they are the ones who made the songs. It's similiar to how a composer or a film director has a large group of people utilizing their resources to help fulfill their vision.

Mark Martinez Dirk Forever.

Martin Fortunato or American Apparel lol

Martin Fortunato I never shop at H&N

I first heard this song at a clothing store

Martin Fortunato it is. H&M plays this track.

Same exact thoughts lol.

TATERxTOT devolved lmaoooooo

TATERxTOT facts );

Well then i guess he devlove

For the better tbh...Would he be Vic if he did it like everyone else?

TATERxTOT bruh this might be the truest shit I’ve ever read and it’s so disappointing

never mind, the first song i heard was orange soda. i guess i fell asleep on Vic.

***** there was house music in the 80. Most of the house music that i listen to came out in the 80's (and early 90's), so thats why i said 80's influences.

***** lol naw bro. Next time i do get high, ill try to remember to listen to this song.

***** mate now fell me if im completly stoned and I read coments both of you

***** Translation from high to english would be: Mate now feel me when I am completly stoned and I read the comments by the both of you.

Primophobic Its a mix of the american way and our generation...

Dorian McCormick amen clap clap\

It's true. God forbid you become a fan of a song through games, commercials, or movies. You get chastised for being late. Da fuq, just be glad that a favorite artists of yours is attracting new crowds and fans. I follow a lot of time underground rappers and the comments always baffle me.

Primophobic thats absolutey true and music is healing we should pass on great music w much love and respect

Primophobic Totally get it, and agree with you. But I think I know why. This song is dope as shit. And it's because he had great producers behind him, and experience. I remember songs like Darlin', from kids these days, when he had neither, and I loved it. Nobody told me to find him - I found him, and I stuck my neck out, and showed him to friends. Vic's made it. I'm happy. He deserves it. But those of us who were there from the start - We're part of why he made it. We were special. And now we're less special - We're just more fans. We're scared, because we feel less important. And that's bullshit. I was a fan of Vic before. I'm a fan of Vic now. I showed him to friends. I don't get to be mad at my friends because they liked it haha. Let's all shut up and enjoy the music :P. I didn't write it. They did.

Same here bro 😂😂

lol facts

on god

It’s not a good evolution at all tbh

Lmfao. He’s just a confuse artist tho

That’s cool as fuck hahaha

That's awesome

hahahahaha amazing

Your comment killed me bruh 😂😂😂

lmao dope

It's a shame the song doesn't have more substance. Because the video is fantastic and the beat is mad nostalgic.

Trevor Reis it fits perfectly if you think about it, you'll always be down on your luck and things will not always go your way no matter how bad you desire to change the outcome

Song does have substance lol

Not only does your comment not make sense (unless you change decide to desire) but I never said the video didn't fit the lyrics. I said there wasn't much substance to the lyrics.

Trevor Reis i mean i looked at the lyrics sheets and there's not much you can can do it's goes hook bridge verse 1 hook then back to bridge again.

thanks!

Benjamin Dickinson no problem good directing

seriously. One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Definitely an ingenious concept

Facts I met him

Julian Alvarado Where and when

Andrescia Hooten Chicago at this store

u mad

u mad

u mad

Drew McGivhan real mad.

aw shit, how'd I triplet that comment?

***** To you it was lol

***** I was talking about your comment towards Yeezus. I know this aint what hip-hop traditionally sounds like, but that's what I like about it, its not the same old shit

Unfuckwitable ONE of U'sss is a CHILD the other a MAN Guess WHO?

***** if you call this house music you don't even know what house music is.. +Unfuckwitable is right

***** he didn't say it was hip hop he said rappers are trying new things which is right its dope because it isn't always gritty hard core it's just kindle real shit of an average night and what he could've wish has gone his way

Same here

agree with u

.

Agreed. Check out "Craig David - 7 Days" ... similar temporal loop concept from back in the day. Love these types of videos.

Ayahuasca Jones Vic it timeless

Agreed

He deserves it

***** that dude doodoo

***** just watched a brewski video there and hes actually just terrible, hopefully Vic doesn't lower his standers to that trash

***** Brewski is awful...

***** Lol that dude is fucking garbage.

Ikr I watch it Every day 10 times a day lol

Hell yeah Gold link is dope

I take it you disagree with us?

Kevin Powell that would be sick as fuck

Kevin Powell I think goldlink wouldn't fit in because he raps way more hectic than vic does

EMto thefknRE​ I've heard Vic spazz on a couple tracks like tweakin and time is money he has that very hectic flow sound I think it would be a good collab. I just wanna know why Gold link hasn't dropped something besides the God Complex

Maybe now that he's got a powerful co-sign, this could be a crossover hit.

Please don't be one of those people that hate on others because they appreciate an artist's craft and become new fans, sick of people like you commenting of every video. I had never heard of this dude at all until Kanye featured him and now I looked him up and I like his music. Now what do you want me to do? Unlike him because it'll make you feel better somehow?

Not to be that person, but it's a great feeling when they do blow up but you've been following them since the beginning of their careers.

Solarge knows what's up. I ain't hating, I'm super proud of dude because he deserves it. I'm just saying fans of Vic are real. Old fans and new fans alike Jose Elias Plasencia

Rap Lover hey guys, could u take a min and listen to my instrumental "Vibes" inspired by this song? thanks

I didn't the same thing. It's crazy how much he's progressed.

Dominick Golden frfr his new album is insane but innanetape still resonates with my soul

nah. Vic was basically a prophet on Innanetape. He sold out, and got exposed when he released his new mixtape that he was not the creative genius we thought he was. Sad. thought he was gonna be one of the greats.

Derek Watson well I'm going to have to beg to differ, the only songs that are really mainstream to the point where I'd say he sold out are Liquor Locker and New Bae, now if you think because his new tape doesnt sound like Innanetape then I can see where you are coming from but at the same time he's still rapping and giving us what we want, tbh he's improved a lot since Innanetape not to mention I believe he said he's releasing more music this year

Right smh that's what I've been saying.....Innanetape Vic was literally in the same vein as Chance. He was independent in rap caliber, making music, etc--LITERALLY the onlly rapper who could ride in the same lane as Chance but be different. He can still redeem himself because TALGO wasn't bad but smh

Amazing song. But failed to get recognition. I blame his agent.

eli carter i blame his attitude

He should’ve really pushed this song

its sad huh like dam so much potential

Definitely has an old school house type of feel though.

Dwight Johnson Josh Barry Genre: U.K. Garage

ID Topman But this guy is from Chicago, the right genre is: House garage.

daniel baron Nice name for a style music

Exactly Daniel, this is good ol Chicago House!! UK Garage is just a derivative of House!

Obviously. Long Living.

Whew! Good find bro. Steez forever.

Yea it would Tyler Brennan

KB King 2*2=4 5+2=7 #longlivesteelo

Tyler Brennan with the "leader" cap haaha

A great artist but the new vic is a fuckin sell out

yannik essex his change is crazy, he's a punk artist now 😳

It's sad right

Damn. I didn't even know he had new music

This Vic finally came back. V-Tape was really good.

I doubt it. It's been more than 2 years. It definitely deserved more recognition and to be a bigger hit. Bummer.

+Tanooki Topher but people are knowing about Vic more especially from all the attention he's getting. Album and such

+ApeXPubz true. I'd be very happy if I heard this all over the radio!! We'll just have to see.

+Tanooki Topher he said it was popular but not in a rap genre, that's why he's not going to make a song like this, kinda sucks I really like him on this type of music, his new albums is completely different

+ApeXPubz I agree. I really wished he stuck with the direction he was going with after INNANETAPE.

dude i thought the same thing, i was like wtf?!?!

How tho ?

The hair

He may change just because when you grow as an artist that may happen

King Angel I mean change for the worst more so.

As long as he's trying to grow and branch out creatively as he changes, I'm cool with it.

Loooool

Saad S lmaoo

Ken Esco Me too lol

Ken Esco hey guys, could u take a min and listen to my instrumental "Vibes" inspired by this song? thanks

he just got off tour with disclosure. im pretty sure they did some work.

Christopher Agboola good to know fam

I thought disclosure made this beat

Vic's already spit some bars over When A Fire Starts to Burn (which was fire, no pun intended) in case you didn't know already.

Keith Anthony sick literally just found this out, im glad what i heard was correct.

Not to mention his lyrical ability which people seem to overlook

Him, Chance The Rapper & Rockie Fresh

deedizeldafreak lmao rockie fresh is generic as fuck and chance got lucky his sound is not universally appealing to everyone

This didn’t age well

Hahahaha….glad it dropped when it couldnt. Made it HEAPS better

It could easily go viral again today imo, it's that good

It's funny because I was thinking the exact same thing.

with all the repetition? Ahha i brought that up with one of my friends. I love both of those videos tho

both gambino's "sweatpants" video and this video remind me of that Kid Cudi video "Pursuit of Happiness" (the MGMT version)

you should watch the video for sweatpants by childish gambino. similar concept.

pnoplyr14 How is it a similar concept ? i dont see it

Me too...

pnoplyr14 is that the diner one?

SickestRap yup.

You wont see this but love your content please respond if you see this song fire btw

this didn’t age well

@@gabrielonibudo5710 wym?

@@noahwolfe4003 hes not accomplishing anymore

@@gabrielonibudo5710 Well, He wasn't doing good for a bit. But I decided to take a listen to V-Tape and I think it was really good. The best he's done in a while.

Greg Pappas I'm in 3022 maboi

DASHIES DUIGHHH yeeeeeee

Greg Pappas YES. too much garbage juice MSM music, not too much Art nowadays.

Meee Meee🚬✌

This is my first time hearing it. I’m super late but anyway I was wondering if you’re still listening to this song ?😂

For me it's more like a racing game vibe, like when you're customizing your car or waiting in a lobby.

I don't know why, but i feel like it should be a song for a Call of Duty game trailer.

Nah, GTA V late night cruising on the freeway, on the way to complete a mission with Franklin

+momandbro8 I know I was looking to see if he did. He just started dancing then passed out XD

Thats what he was trying to do

Bluetooth roofies

This came out in 2014

Mostly because of Chance the Rapper

nope

no doubt he is a very good artist but he took off because of chance chance gave his homeboy a chance

Dog Fart actually it'd be the other way round if anything look up kids these days the band

Dog Fart Vic's been in the game longer than Chance

8 years and I still ain’t crazy how life be sometimes

& dude is flop of the century but this song is a hit

U Mad is a banger though. he can have both

+eric garcia preach

When's it come out ?

+Diego Gonzalez Still no date... hopefully soon tho

+Christopher Clark 12/8/2k16

Haha hopsin Haha logic Haha nice troll man

***** yeah, no I'm serious. Not up for debate. You got ur favs, I've got mine.

hopsin is trash man

Hopsin is trash and logic is unoriginal and a concept thief. Fuck the both of them

Ivanoe Nadalini yea... hopsin is garbage disposal juice. He's ass. Doesn't deserve his hype. Should've actually retired etc. Fuck him

Ain’t nun like them MTV days
