If you here 2023 you royalty🙌🏾👑💯
Here in 2024🤜🏽🤛🏽
Super Facts. ME here 2024 and beyond
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!
Damm, i just noticed that after that i read that
***** Shit I didn't notice that either until now, genious indeed!
+jblackmel would even go further as to say the director must've been inspired by the 1987 movie "They Live" starring rowdy roddy piper. Look it up!
brandonbanks32278 Now you're telling your age. I definitely remember the movie, the one with the glasses...lol!
+jblackmel I remember that, xray type shit
I never get tired of this song, masterpiece
Pharoahe Monch is WAY too underrated.
i like his verse in highvoltage from linkinpark reanimation album. from that point, i try to search his work, to be amazed how good his rap is
***** ikr
***** I ain't never listen to them so idk
***** ight bet
nah
This whole album was brutally slept on.
Bruh!!
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.
truth
True
Very true brother
"Thick veil" That is so true.
Very well said
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.
Damn....
Not much is better in 2023
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.
Crazy how this didn't get no run on the radio, serius. This shit is fiya
The radio would rather promote hate/death & material wealth than the unification of the human race & general positive vibes....that's why I haven't listened to the radio since late 80s/early 90s,plus the music they do play is garbage.I can listen to ignorant shit if the sound of real hip hop beats and proper dope lyricism is involved.HIP HOP LIVES UNDERGROUND!!!
+socillizt4life yes most definitely. that's were it was started n thats were it will stay
+Dame Willia FACTS!!
I actually heard this on the radio in Boston
Armani Alexander
U would think this would've gotten more burn but u kno how it is if it's not trap they won't play it
Hip hop is not dead. IF it was, this wouldn't exist.
Yeah but this is music that people will never hear hip hop has been dead for years if its not its on its diein bead
jamie shannon actually, it is radio that is dead. People look to it four the best in hip-hop have been in the dark for at least 15 years. Radio lost me ages ago. Do your thing, Pharoahe Monch.
totaldepravity1975 radio suckers never play me
Dope how the director utilized the John Carpenter's "They Live" concept into this video for this very positive message!
+Ronnie Shumake I didn't even notice that... Good peep bruh! *daps*
Ronnie Shumake GOOD ANNILIZATIONS! DIDN'T CATCH THAT??
True man,didn't realise that.
Def, It's a trip I just got that, i was so into the song.
Phaoraohe Monch Definitely in my top 5!!!!
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.
Josh A watch the black man ride 🔥 line
I think Jadakiss is a little better, but I love him as well. He's one of the realest rappers if you ask me.
Deeper than most 🔥🔥
I been a fan of the ghost since I stumbled across a gangster and a gentleman!!! He’s stayed true and never compromised his style regardless of silly rap trends. Thank you Styles! Salute ✊🏾
Styp is heavy with the lyrics ..his word play no one like him completely original
The 70's soul inspired instrumentals are ridiculous, love the string section.
Monch, S.P., & Phonte kept it 💯
Mad respect to my nigga phonte, no matter if he spits a verse or does the hook, kills it everytime.
This is real hip hop with a real message as always truth and love shine 4 ever.
I'm so glad there's still dudes like this around making real hip-hop albums
This song bring tears to my eyes
Shakur Williams it has a sad vibe to it that's why
Shakur Williams Universal black pain 💜
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!
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.
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 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...
Pharoahe is still one of the illest to ever bless the mic!
Ok duck down always holding hip hop down ... Been fucking with this label since the 90's ... Love this !!!
I'm just mad it took me 8 years to find this song 🤦🏾♀️
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.
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!
Daz KNEW ABOUT PHAROE SINCE HE WAS IN ART& DESIGN! HIGH! WHILE I WAS IN MUSIC & ART HE CAME 2 A PARTY WE THREW AT LYNCH P.A.L. BEEN BOYS EVA SINCE!!!!!!!!!!!! 1986!
Daz Technically not many can beat pharaoh...
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.
No argument here.
Lol I'm crazy confused, Black Thought? He wasn't on this track😨
I agree. Nas in there as well. When people become woke or grow they will understand all the messages conveyed in their music
talib abdul,peace god i agree wit everything u said.if u haven't already check out Pharoah's early stuff like internal affairs & check out his work wit organized konfusion.had 3 albums that i think u would like being a Pharoah Monch fan also.u will have an even more appreciation for him and his crazy wordplay and lyrical skills back then.
Internal Affairs is the best PM shit
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.
DARRELL LONDON 9th Wonder produced this
I love the way we greet each other... Handshake and a hug
Pedi para o meu filho tocar essa música no violino para mim, como uma forma de ele se aperfeiçoar no instrumento.
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
Bring back that 90s flavor
Jacob Gonzalez 80's even better YANKEE'S DIDN'T WIN 1 RING IN THE 80'S BUT HIP-HOP WAS 6 YRS. OLD & IT WAS REAL#!!!!!!!!!
Watching this makes me wanna cry and I’m almost 50.
Ladies and gentleman, real hip-hop
REAL HIP-HOP IS NOT ON THE RADIO! It doesn't deserve to be combined with the mainstream.
I cry everytime just knowing the black hand side of life. ... much love always micfan 2020
This music is too deep and thought provoking it will never be in rotation on commercial radio. Pop culture controls the youth.
Open your eyes, wake up my people. All my people...
We need this more than ever on today we got to come together. Bruthas gone work it out
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."
Still one of the coldest songs videos I’ve heard and watched the way it be giving me chills.
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!
Hell yea!
Great point they don't want to here nothing positive but negga weed pills skinny jeans and strippers
jamie shannon hahahahaha "skinny jeans and strippers" love it xD
This should be OUR theme song... Givin all my bros 5 on da black hand side frfr...
Peace.
Quran Davis Word Up Black King! #TheAnthem
Word. 💪🏾✊🏾
Top notch production and lyrics... Inimitable pharaoh...
Don't know how I missed this one. Better late than never, added to some chill playlists.
Straight classic
3:16 is my favorite part of the video. Need more positive images like that in hip hop.
This song especially... just gives PEACE TO MY SOUL.
This is what real hiphop is!!!!
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!
Style Ps verse on this is epic.Of course Pharaoh ripped it.
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
2 of the greatest P and P
Zyxeos and Tigallo
Monch is a genius!
Awesome profile pic! Lupe is modern hip-hop's equivalent to Monch in my opinion. No bullshit, just immaculate lyrics and incredibly complex bars!
Styles and Monch has always been a ill collabo since The Life.
I ran this video back like 10 times already its 9:33 am...n I'm gunna keep watching it
Certified classic...
before I die I want this to be the last song I listen to
You still alive?
Yes lol i dont even remember saying this lol
Styles P flow is wicked, he has command presence with the mic, I like that track with Beans " You ain't ready for this "
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.
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...
very underrated song and video
Real Hip-Hop?Right Here!!
''Every different day some black man dies''.. With Respect from Caucasus
That hook crazy
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
wow u say nas is unterrated? hes too rated if you ask me :D
Jay-Z does not diss women in his music anymore. He's actually evolved beyond what he used to think of women more than most rappers have.
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
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
Phonte snatched the hell out of ol dude too tho
Pharaohe have one of the best flow of hip-hop
I wants me a pair of them 'Black Visionary Glasses'
i absolutely love this song and the video is amazing..cant stop watching it..
My guy is right about it not getting into rotation. It won't. Yes, the industry is to blame as they push pop culture & nothing else. The one thing that everyone seems to miss is that it's Rap music in rotation on the radio & videos... HipHop culture is still alive & there is some dope stuff out there if you're prepared to spend a little more time looking.
Mass consumption drives the market... all we can do is keep finding these jewels & sharing them with as much people as we can.
stay blessed
Always listen to this song twice. Real Life Hip-Hop! "Pharoahe Monch and Black Thought" are the truth.
Powerful song.
Genius song and video!
this is real hip hop real lyricism. pharoah monch is the truth
Peace to the film Five on the Black Hand Side. It was written by Charlie Russell , Bill Russell's older brother.
This W.A.R is an amazing album.
love that beat
FIRE!!! GOOD CONCEPT VID!!!
real people. positive music. bless up
Pharoahe Monch does it again with the "SOUL Banga!" this shit right here is deep!
REAL HIP HOP STAND UP
Realest song every race dont matter gimmie five on the black hand side i love all races
Troy stroman Dude please. Can we have some thing to ourselves? Y'all always wanna include people in your stuff be never get the same treatment smh
King Arthur Exactly.
I don't. Ijs
Troy stroman gtfoh with this shit.
Dude, the way he delivers his shit and what he says is unrivaled except for a select few.
All 3 of these brothers dropped gems last year
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.
early mannnn
WOOOOW!!!!, This Is Amazing, It's about time Pharoahe & Styles did an Album with Production by Mike Loe, Neva heard MONCH over DJ Premier while STYLES over Premier never gets Old, Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Statik Selektah, Large Professor etc, WHO'S WITH ME, Peace
Styles P on Joint wit all The Hitters nd Spitters ..
From Pharoahe to Rozay
Salute!
Thumbs up if your hand has a black hand side...
What! No verse from tiggalo? Hook was dope though anyway.
Rickards Red Aww man, I didn't even know. Well he's talented at both. Overall he's the best lyricist ever ( in my opinion of course ). Thanks for the update.
Yashpal Sirgool new tigalo new tigalo newtigalonewtigalonewtigalow
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.
He is one of the most underrated emcees to bless a mic
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
I think you are really missing the point and your comment affirms this. This has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with self love opposed to self hate.
Black hand side is a variant of a hand shake/slapping hands (giving 5) and I should hope you understand what that is symbolic of.
This has nothing to do with racism. You totally missed the point of the song.
Lol. I was looking for the troll.
Folks like you wait for videos like this, JUST to say you said that to some Black people. FOH.
When blacks talk about black problems it's considered racist.This song is pure truth.
