2024 still a highly underrated classic
When people say "New music sucks!" I always tell them their ability to find new music is what sucks.
My mum is a designer for her and I'm so glad I get to meet her every once in a while because she's is an incredibly nice and humble person. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾❤️❤️❤️
Aww that's nice me and my sister was in her music vid black girl magik🥰

In the next five years, Sampa The Great will be recognised as THE greatest international female hip hop artist of all time, if not one of them. I've said it; watch it manifest.
What a really specific category.
I was thinking more like 3 years
Can’t wait
Ase
Lauren hill laughs at this
GIRL, IT'S TIME TO HAVE YOU PERFORMING ON COLORS, NPR TINY DESK AND DISCVR!!!
Sampa was on Colors - performed Rhymes to the East. Such a dope performance.. Would be epic to see her on other platforms and creative showcases too!
czcams.com/video/MddG0quhiFY/video.html
@@mulletgirl6050 Thanks for the update!!
@@Femmefatale32000 My pleasure. Happy to share knowledge of the goods with a fellow fan :)
I actually discovered her on Colors! Such an amazing singer
Sampa the Great makes me feel like a strong independent black African woman and I’m a white asian male🥺
@A O Okay, she makes me feel like a beautiful, powerful, resilient, black African woman
@A O That's a fucked up way to look at it. "Strong" is not a gendered word.
Man this comment 😂😂😂😂 I get what you meant
*I am Nót Oprah.. I also do Nót have a best friend named Gayle*
me too but white female, BLACK POWER!
Not my kind of music. I am a metalhead. Just skipped through a playlist and fast forwarded. After 1 second of this song I was nodding my head. Brilliant.
I identify with multiple genres, metal being foremost. This hits me like Wu Tang does. This is real hip-hop
Something about Africa and rhythm man
Check it that out:

Peace!
Same here ((:
Sampa the great is really a next level thing.
Horns up from Seattle! Right on.
Me ; bumping this tune upstairs in my room
Dad ; TURN THAT OFF RIGHT NOW!!
Me ; Why tho????
Dad ; I have better speakers downstairs sonny
BEST COMMENT LOL
Best dad!!!!!!
Retracted comment, through my dullness.... I misread the thread
@@goldkehlchenberlin Yeahhhh #BestDadEver
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 drop the mic on that one!
Mike Patton recommended this and I couldn’t be more thankful.
i just read the interview myself
YUP
His interview sent me here too lol
Me too!
Me too
"Great state I'm in, in all states I'm in.
I might find a form in my melanin. "
So powerful!
YEEEESSSSSS!!!!
yaaaaaas GOLD!
That first line is clumsy sounding
Other than that she's great
Yo when she said “Africa is the the new America” beyond 🔥
@@rosbifle413 😂😂😂 as if America is safe and actually Rwanda Botswana Tanzania kenya Zambia Gabon are kind of intelligent and safe comapred to most non African countries
@@arushanioshaka5600 you are too stupid for me to formulate a worth while reply.
@@rosbifle413 we will keep on saying it,till we believe it.
@@rosbifle413 go lecture your own people on how stupid we are, your presence isn't necessary here. And black folks who come across this white womans comments, haha, especially you children, don't take the bastards words to heart. You're human beings and together we shall overcome our difficulties, embrace the words of our assassinated leaders before us and realize that it's do or die. Study hard and with each generation we will increase our IQ, whites are superior because we failed to tap into our tyrannical nature, I best believe it's about time we embrace the malice we are capable of. I'd be willing to be black hitler, but were not organized just yet. Keep working hard everyone, our actions are more moral than any other human race.
And I say cleanse our bloodline of demon blood. The superior man is black hair, brown eyes. That is the pinnacle of purity and ascendance from HUMAN, to god. Laughs my fucking ass off.
What I love about this, is that she's not half naked, plus there's nothing Eurocenttic about this video WHATSOEVER!! Plus I'd love to hear a collaboration with Sampa and Lauryn Hill.
Made my cat listen to this, now it's a lion 💪
I wish I could give you TEN thumbs up for your comment🤣🤣
Your cat reached it's final form lol
Yes, please force your cat to listen to it more.
This is what the culture needed.
Love from South Africa, Cape Town
This is probably one of the greatest songs ever produced. I'm forever infatuated by this piece of art.
Me too!
Yes 🙏💓
The Sylvers - Stay away from me
You call this G.b.h of the earholes art?, Darkside of the moon by Pink floyd THATS ART, this is commercial ear rape!, her voice is unbelievably irritating!!!. Claire Torry has more talent in her spit, than this bird as in her entire body!!.
She amazes every time 😅 I thought the same until I heard/watched “never forget” . That does something to your soul
Notice how she didnt once talk about money ,cars or clothes or drugs or material possessions. So organic and refreshing.
She does but it’s more of a credit to black people to doing what others thought we never could accomplish
@@dalemcghee6416 wow, black people are so cool
Man if you like that then you need to listen to more underground hip hop
@@lucasjackson2337 wtf are you white?
Most importantly, she didn’t talk her WAP👍🏾💯
This is one of the best rap song and music video I've heard from Africa in a very long time. The video is authentically Zambian. The video unapologetically draws upon many aspects of Zambian culture to produce a brilliant and beautiful African aesthetic. The inclusion of the ancient Gule wamkulu secret society in the video was pure genius!
Man listen. This video has blown my mind. Nothing but respect for Sampha The Great from Texas ✊🏾
I'm always amazed by the music Zambia has! I love the band "The Peace" which is Zamrock
Man, is one of the best rap song i have ever heard from earth !!! Great great great. Ans as you said, it's very smart and cool too see real African aesthetic than imitation of others country (as we often do in France).
She’s so pretty.
It's one of the best I've heard from anywhere in a long time and I have been listening to rap since I was 12 years old, and I'm 40 now.
I was a 12 year old white kid growing up on a small farm in Minnesota and listening to Public Enemy and NWA.
I hadn't heard of this artist before today and I actually really enjoy her music.
The new Wakanda Forever trailer brought me here. I'm feeling this artist!👍🏽
I discovered this video very recently because they’re playing a commercial here in the states (I’m LA, California born and raised) with Final Form playing in the background. I immediately look at my sister and said, That song is sampling “Stay Away From Me” by The Sylvers! They were our favorite group back in the 70’s. We saw them perform live many times. My sister looks at me like I’m crazy, lol! And I instantly go into...”The life I had with you is gone for good, now someone else stands where you’ve always stood. So stay away from me and don’t come back cause if you do you’ll have face the facts, the true love in you I’ll never see”. My sister says, you’re right. I didn’t even recognize it. So now I’m interested to know how this young lady from half way around the world found this Sylvers song from another place and time. And mind you, this was not like a hit song or anything. It was on The Sylvers II album so it’s amazing to me that it’s being sampled today let alone by a beautiful Zambian young lady. I have watched this video over and over! It just speaks to me. I never in my lifetime thought I’d see anything like this.
Thank you for knowing old school music!!
R M1134 ❤️
czcams.com/video/W5N44GKrygQ/video.html here is another song with this same sample. Its from balkans ( souteastern europe) created 7 years ago.
@@mendoza0322 Wow! That video is awesome!!! I’m totally amazed by how the Rap/HipHop culture has spread around the world like a wildfire and taken hold of young people all over the globe. This is absolute proof of how music is truly the one international language. It’s mind blowing!! 🎶 🎶
Thank you for that link...👍🏾
@ Ikr! 😄
This is the kinda music we need right now during all this craziness!
Some unfriendly looking girl mumbling on? Yeah, just what we need.
@@lucasjackson2337 There is always one trolling, racist spambot that is consumed by hatred like you. Does this legacy of yours make you feel proud?
I’ve seen your useless remarks sprinkled throughout the comments. Stop being a waste of space 🛑
@@LotusPandaCrane The truth is...
When someone makes comments like they do- they are *certainly* not a happy person.
Peace.✌🏽
Great music is needed at all times
@@lucasjackson2337 unfriendly looking? Are you intimidated Lucas?
3.8 million views is criminal…this masterpiece is the new age anthem!!!
Yes!!!
and ONLY 400,000 since your comment...8 months ago!! it's a SIN!
Jesus I've played this 4 times already, this is insane🔥🔥🕺🏿🕺🏿🔥🔥🔥
Tau Kobo been playing it all day tho i lost count
Yeah, it´s just getting better and better.
Black is Beautiful, Black is power!
Racist
If you’re happy being superficial then all the power to you...
i am Kenyan and i heard this banger!!!! in a club in China. fire and the fact that she representing African Melanin...men meant alot to me ....thanks Sampa
Not that she deserves much credit - the whole "banger" factor comes from the song "Stay Away From Me" by the Sylvers. All she's doing is rapping (and not even in time) over the top. Not-so-great. Check out the original song, it's much more inspired & has FAR more talent involved.
oh please, the original song you mentioned is boring and shitt*. Her version is PHENOMENAL
@@thevcountdown9824 All 4 repeated bars of it... the original's musicianship was far superior (and they all sang beautifully) - you don't know shit about music.
@@thevcountdown9824 and show a bit of respect for the Sylvers. Without their hard work & talent all you'd be left with is some woman talking. Think about that.
THE GREAT!!!
Zambia 🇿🇲 outchea killing it... Botswana 🇧🇼 got your back girl
I aint African but got a lotta melanin and this song makes me feel hella powerful. Much love from a Filipino.
This is real hip hop by an African Goddess. Recognize. 👏🏿
Thank you for reminding us of the beauty and strength in our black essence.
The essence is luminous. Form is form.
I'm in Florida, USA and OMG. This is THE BEST. This is better than the garbage we have in the states. PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC.
Chocolate Queen a lot of artists do the same thing in states they are just underground
Chocolate Queen np I can give you some names of the artist if you want
Sudan Archives is from Los Angeles and Noname is from Chicago, and Nitty Scott is from New York City. There's more out there just don't expect to hear it on the radio. Just like this isn't on the radio.
Great state I’m in
In all states I’m in
I might final form
In my melanin
Black power
✊✊🔥🔥
@@01RoboDemon U ain't never lied...Time to step up my emoji game! 😂
She is the final form, that's for sure! Amazing!
✊🏾
2:05 That lady's power just straight knocked me out my seat
I swear to God I thought I was the only one who felt like that!!🤞🏿
IKEA advert brought me here. Fascinating track.
Here for all the Zambian representation 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Excuse miss. You are really attractive. Had to comment on that. Is that your culture?
So many countries. Respect to Zambia. Sampa The Great
Sampa, Little Simz, Young MA, and so so many FEMALE rappers making my teen self so thrilled.
First heard this on the IKEA advert and it has been stuck in my head ever since! Absolutely love this track ❤️❤️❤️
same! i heard it in the cinema on the IKEA advert and im hooked
Its in a commercial now?
@@motorcitymangababe yeah, it's the weirdest thing (obviously, being an IKEA advert) it appears to be some party being run by a load of hench teddy bears.
@@johnharrison6808 bizarre ill have to watch it lol
The IKEA advert is fantastic, they play it in my gym constantly EVERY DAY 🤣🤣🤣💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This song right here, in all it's elements, has single-handedly resuscitated ORIGINAL hip hop! Real historians of the art know that you can't just listen, you must FEEL and KNOW all in one experience! WOW! Excellent! Well done!
The GREAT in her Territory
Proud To Share this with you 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲
Chidemu Moses Juma Is she Nigerian?
@@God.sDaughter She is Zambian
The new Ikea commercial and Shazam brought me here....glad I arrived.
🔥🔥🔥Thank you Zambia 🇿🇲 much love and respect from Kenya 🇰🇪 was stuck in the matrix but now I’m here
Yup, I remember when Zambians came up with drum machines, microphones, video cameras.... Um yeah that didn't happen.
They're pretty good at standing around looking angry and mumbling garbage though...
If we must focus on someone's race to judge the music, give me Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston anyday as opposed to posturing, talentless types like this born out of identity politics and no true talent.
I might final form in my melanin.
Anyone who feels the strength of this song within themselves is a good sign of how connected we all are
Sampa the great, you're truly great keep making Zambia proud...
Kopala...
I'm full of unapologetic, undiluted African pride right now ✊🏾
Musical genius, we proud of you girl🇿🇲
Kudos to her Wardrobe, Style and HMU Departments!
Everyone looks GORGEOUS!
Thank the universe for her existence.
This song will always be a classic ! Even in 2000 years !
This woman is a legend, just watch her, she's on Lauryn Hill's level
Respect Southern Africa when it comes to rap in Africa. What a good from Zambia
Love from SA
Cleo is also fire
This joint still goes harder than any of the music being put out in the states....they play this at NBA games on TV...that tells you how many folks was playing it here.....but when any convo about Women Hip Hop artists come up, they act like Sampa don't exist. We have to support this artist because she is making the Real Hip Hop and they don't want this trending.
It's crazy how she hits us with the spirit, yet the vibe is so subtle. ❤💪🏾✌🏾
🌍✊🏾👑 - you are fire!!!
Love from a South African beat maker #Capetown
Young Fil lol, I see!!!!
I have to represent!
Why the hell havent i heard of this women before..... nothing but straight fire and artistic abilities! God damn
Yes. Yes. Yes.
"I'm in my Final Form, in my MELANIN"! 👊🏿❤️💥
This is a throwback to the good days of rap!
The images. The lyrics. The styling. Spits a million times better than Cardi B and the other generic rappers.👑💣💥
@fekstar127 you gone have that argument with yourself
Do we really need to dunk on Cardi B in the comment section of every rap song by a woman
It's the real deal right, soul, breaks and hip hop merged into a true beast of a tune.
I'll take both.
a million times - that part
Love everything about this video! The vibe and black love 🇿🇲🇿🇲❤❤🌻
Sampa the Great makes me proud and im not even African nor black
Fire lines💥💥💥
"Shit is basic, past credentials...
"Great state I'm in....
"Africa the new America....
"Black power....
"Last name Tembo
"No mentor all my hero's assassinated"
Yep she's on to something, guys you may wanna take notes from The Great.
Fire
Sampa the GOAT* 🐐
I just heard it on the radio and google brought me here immediately.
Simply great. 🧡
Love from a black woman in Japan! ❤️ Videos like this are one way of many that I stay connected to my blackness all the way over here.
Don't Mind Me....I'm just doing a Sampa the Great marathon.
And how on Earth did I never heard of this Queen🥲🥲🤧
A Unique Artist born in Zambia and raising the flag high. I am so proud of you. 😘
Cardi B is a household name producing shit music meanwhile Sampa is making this and I never heard of her before ? Blows my mind how amazing talent can get passed over by the masses simply because of marketing. I can’t think of anyone that comes close to touching her level.
So true!!
😢
This song is everything I know the universe to be. Pure love with a 🔥 beat.
❤
I love this comment and yes pure love!
Sampa the genius!
She is just the best
The real rap! The roots, the essence! Go África!
The moment when all the "gangsta" rappers are buried 3 feet down by this Goddess!!
True talk
This girl is a woman KING!
This gives me so much hope for hiphop culture in 2020 😍
Let's hope it dethrones the crap that has been rap for the past 10+ years
Stfu
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Your life must have been very uneventful then
Thanks god Mike Patton sent me here, this is 🔥
Proud Zambian here 🇿🇲
Big up all my Africans 💥🤘🏾
This song remains undefeated.. Girl went hard!!!
Straight Fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sampa stays making Zambia proud! 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

But yes, I'll be the first to call that ambulance bwana.
Most of the time it is people disliking to keep stuff like this from appearing on their feed. Generally they mean no disrespect to the music or the artist, it is just CZcams's algorithm decided to recommend things to people that they just aren't in to. And that's okay. I am not into metal by any means, but CZcams has recommended me metal songs that are blowing up in the genre right now. I've had to dislike them to keep them from appearing.
