Still my top 5 favorite song to work out to, to this day. I found him through this song actually and never left ever since. Fuckin sick scheme and demeanor
"You talkin' tough Toucan Sam, don't get to fuckin' wit me, I clip yo wings now you fly as a penguin, bangin', dope slangin', a fuckin' slave, I can still see the rope hangin', blame your environment or blame your companions." So fuckin Ill. I never get tired of this track.
He has to be one of the most lyrical rappers there is at the moment, he's one of the few rappers who can fuck with Kendrick! Should be on the 2014 Freshmen XXL cover with Chance the Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Vic Mensa, Earl Sweatshirt, Rapsody, Vince Staples, King Los, Smoke DZA and Jon Connor!
God, this was the song.. this is where I found this man, and maaaaaaaaaan, he just never disappoints. Everything Jenkins touches is gold 🤌 I love that he is still making music 👏
Damn bro can't believe you responded back to my comment! Lol but I just wanted you to know that was a GREAT explanation of that GINGER ALE verse I've been trying to figure out for the longest. Much love from a south suburban guy from Dolton.. #PEACE
This song samples the Main Theme from the movie Blue Velvet. But I heard this song before seeing the movie, so when my I went to see it for my film class and the song starts playing in the opening titles I had brain fart moment and was like, "Wtf they used Mick Jenkins' song in this 80's movie??"
+theeab1993 The song "Dreams"by Rich Robbins Ft. Mick Jenkins also samples the main theme but towards the end. Its a pretty fire theme i guess you could say
This is brilliant and amazing. I love that song, water[s] is also fantastic and I don't usually listen this kind of music. It's just a fantastic text, thanks a lot for my ears !
Hey Mick, I'm a huge FAN bro! & since your not on Rap Genius I want to know what you mean when you keep referencing "Ginger Ale or ginger ale for these hoes" lol... what I interpret from that verse is that you busting open a ginger ale bottle is symbolic of a champagne bottle but you just haven't reached that level yet whether in money or fame... Am I right or close? Just want to know. Hope you see this message man.
I see a lot of rappers with an affinity for fucking "YOUR girl" I dont want your girl i have my own. as a matter of fact if your girl is chilling with mick all i have for her ginger ale. she doesnt have to fuck me or my homies, i dont want her soul eithter lol. but i have a genuine appreciation for the drink.
+bdaley11145 I heard on an interview that whenever mick was sick, his grandma would poor him a ginger ale and he drank it and it would settle a stomach ache or feeling nauseous, so he refers to ginger ale as the healing aspect which he brings to rap and the audience, speaking that the lies we hear ain't true, therefore healing us, if that makes sense. so when he says "just ginger ale for your hoes," it also has the meaning that he's giving them this ginger ale so that they might "settle" their mind straight and snap out of the game. Just an opinion and correct me if I'm wrong!
i was lacking homie but now i am not! im hydrated as well but ill always need more water. im amazed by the tunes bro. ill be buying everything you put out. Much love and respect!
this dude ...man ... hes in the same league as andré 3 stacks ... remember his age! this music save lifes thank you my brother ... I make you big in germany peace
Mick has all my respect and then some, but you can't sleep on Flatbush zombies, Meech's talent is right on par with Mick Jenkins, if not better. both are young talented artists that capture the feeling of their respective cities in their.music, whether ir be NYC or chicago
Cole Hodges Okay so if they're on equal grounds in your opinion then my point still stands. Mick just don't get enough respect. Or any rapper who has something important to say for that matter. It just bothers me that "conscious" is a derogatory term in the industry
The Dopeness. The production value the lyrical value = Classic This, Martyrs and quite a few others I consider standards. You could listen to this 10 years later.
Man , Mick . Your music influences my work so much . You show the people that you can be conscious &' street with a perfect balance . I hope I get the opportunity to work with you one day . I know you don't pay too much attention these comments but I hope the world quits sleeping on you &' get hydrated! All love from the 615 .
Jenkins was like my soundtrack for the whole of 2014, so much love for my mans for putting me into Mick. This tune is so clean. people need to wake up to this dude asap
Man i just discovered you, and your lyrics and message gave me goose bumps. I hope the world discover you and your genius... btw first time i have ever commented on the tube ever... all motivated by your work
"You talkin' tough Toucan Sam, don't get to f**kin' wit me I clip yo wings Now you fly as penguin Banging Dope slanging A f*fkin' slave, I can still see the rope hanging."... Damn!
“ I be the Anne Frank.. So miss me with the static, he be high writing verses just like writing books in attics” “I’m God” Still remember how goated these lines were…still flying over heads today! 🔥
![Mick Jenkins - The Leaves [Ahwlee]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fPMAYqqo9T0/mqdefault.jpg)
Mick honestly has the best fanbase ever, all so positive and understanding plus the fact that they like real rap
✊
Real talk
they also like to suck each other off about how great they are
True down to every word
Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤🔉🔉
In 24’ this shit still absolutely bangs Every. Fucking. Time.
One of the best beats he has ever rapped on.
Fax
You think so? It's dope... But not his dopest in my opinion only!
@@gwk91878 Yes I think so💯🔥
What you think his dopest is, I want in lol
The hook is so fucking unorthodox, it's amazing.
Joey Bada$$ is teaching us big words.
Christopher Helling LmaO probably😂😂😂😂
Blue velvet soundtrack
Forgot about this gem can’t believe it’s been 11 years
"Shroomin like koopa troopa" made me stop in the hallway at school.This that shit right here bruh.
😂😂😂
Then the violin right after..... Genius
lmfaoooooooooooo
Hope you graduated nigga.
U still in school?
So refreshing to see a rapper who doesn't wear chains
Shut the the hell up
Mick + Jenkins = Mick Jenkins
jacob lewis Deep AF. Lol
This really spoke to me
I never though about it that way
Damn, opened my eyes
explain please
Still my top 5 favorite song to work out to, to this day. I found him through this song actually and never left ever since. Fuckin sick scheme and demeanor
Why is his flow so catchy
"You talkin' tough Toucan Sam, don't get to fuckin' wit me, I clip yo wings now you fly as a penguin, bangin', dope slangin', a fuckin' slave, I can still see the rope hangin', blame your environment or blame your companions." So fuckin Ill. I never get tired of this track.
dopest part for sure. the hanging bar is insane
1:14-1:18 that quick beat change is so fucking fire
Never even noticed that's how smooth, nice catch
Nice catch, was always so into the lyrics I woulda never noticed that
"I flip, you just might catch the bat that's acrobatic, you gassed.. that's asthmatic, what you can't breathe?" THAT is dope as hell
Why is everyone saying he's like this and that? This dude is himself. He has his own style. MICK JENKINS IS MICK JENKINS no one else.
because they can
Well mick jenkins is actually jayson jenkins HAHA
this is hip-hop. rappers will always be compared. it's nature
To the people who disliked this, his bars went over your head!
Nah, they're just 'lackin'... Time will tell. ;)
this is my favorite song of his. the beat is great. and his flow is just really different in this. reminds me of a stones throw kind of rapper.
What would YOU do if this guy pulled you over on the sidewalk to spit some bars in your face?
Probably just bump to it lol
Well I guess I'd deserve it if he caught me lacking.
I'd probably spit some bars too lol
melon
Spit back
One of the most underrated rappers in the game
sickest beat i've heard all year
He has to be one of the most lyrical rappers there is at the moment, he's one of the few rappers who can fuck with Kendrick! Should be on the 2014 Freshmen XXL cover with Chance the Rapper, Isaiah Rashad, Vic Mensa, Earl Sweatshirt, Rapsody, Vince Staples, King Los, Smoke DZA and Jon Connor!
Los actually been out longer though...Earl & Dza...
Wow you actually got everybody on that list. Even King los. Mad props on your music knowledge.
No action bronson? Or rocky fresh . Lol or jj fish haha
Action bronson was on last year..
isaiah rashad said "don't put me on no freshman cover I'll be posing with lunch" lmao
I can’t stop listening I love the orchestra and real meaningful deep lyrics
God, this was the song.. this is where I found this man, and maaaaaaaaaan, he just never disappoints. Everything Jenkins touches is gold 🤌 I love that he is still making music 👏
At 1:37
Lackin white dude- Yes is this 911 there appears to be a dragon behind spitting some insane fire
Mick- DONT LET ME CATCH YOU LACKIN!
+sean mccune LOL!!!
Now you fly as a penguin.
This guy is so original and good
this dude is a lyrical genius
Nigga, come on, how does this not have more views. Nigga, come on.
damn this guy must have level 100 sneak
+YoungODB HAHAHAHA you win
HHHhaahaa dawg!!!
🤣🤣🤣
One of the hardest mick jenkins track
One of the greatest no debate on ancestors. 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
I love this guy's mannerisms
BOY!!! this that 3000 flow....man this is fire...so pissed im late to the party
+RapNerd Leeb you're never late to a party it can always start again
Jonny Kash
true words brosef
Forgot about this track. Still dope af, wish it was on spotify
mick has his own flow it's a jazz flow breeded into hip hop/rap definitely should be a template for others way better than any mainstream shit
One of my favourite videos ever, that first verse was crazy
Lol had this song on for ages didn't even know there was a music video. Mick came suited!!!
Classic Mick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
one of the most underrated artists ever! so awoke. wake up everyone!!
Came here for the nostalgia 💣💣
Damn bro can't believe you responded back to my comment! Lol but I just wanted you to know that was a GREAT explanation of that GINGER ALE verse I've been trying to figure out for the longest. Much love from a south suburban guy from Dolton.. #PEACE
THIS MAN DID SO MUCH TIME HE GOT AHEAD OF THE LINE WITH RHYMES STRAIGHT OUTTA 2029 💯💯💯

2019, we in here.

Everytime I see Ongaud on the track I know the beat is gonna be fire
All of his music so distinct and so cool. Love it!
yo bruh you give me some major hope for the rap movement. hope to see more from you in the future
This guy is so fucking talented

Fredo Santana my question still stands....what are you talking about?
+Soul Justice u dumb man

Mick Jenkins
Watch out for that caramel coloring in the leading brands of the ale - it's not burnt sugar like momma use to make it with ;-)
Mick Jenkins settin his own trends here. Bussin bottles of ginger ale with hot models. Keep it real, I'm waitin for you to blow up.
Mick Jenkins
You're a genius bro keep up the good work this is what I call a true artist you're one of the few i listen to along side with 2pac.
+bdaley11145 I heard on an interview that whenever mick was sick, his grandma would poor him a ginger ale and he drank it and it would settle a stomach ache or feeling nauseous, so he refers to ginger ale as the healing aspect which he brings to rap and the audience, speaking that the lies we hear ain't true, therefore healing us, if that makes sense.
so when he says "just ginger ale for your hoes," it also has the meaning that he's giving them this ginger ale so that they might "settle" their mind straight and snap out of the game.
Just an opinion and correct me if I'm wrong!
Shit still bangs in 2022
Mick Jenkins is far too underrated.
One of the best artist in Chicago...Hands down
i was lacking homie but now i am not! im hydrated as well but ill always need more water. im amazed by the tunes bro. ill be buying everything you put out.
Much love and respect!
this dude ...man ... hes in the same league as andré 3 stacks ... remember his age! this music save lifes thank you my brother ... I make you big in germany peace
Have u heard earth gang? That guy gives me Andre vibes too
@@stephanieandrade6186 yeah you right :)
Nice and original style.
One of the best beats, tracks and videos I've ever seen from this nigga. I love that look though.
Breath off fresh air to da game real spill...San Diego's ducking with Mick Jenkins
Mick and OnGaud.. Always fire!
This shit so hot with only 193,000 views. & whats recommended? Some God awful Flatbush Zombies song with 5 mill that can't even touch Mick.
Mick has all my respect and then some, but you can't sleep on Flatbush zombies, Meech's talent is right on par with Mick Jenkins, if not better.
both are young talented artists that capture the feeling of their respective cities in their.music, whether ir be NYC or chicago
Bruh they are both raw
Cole Hodges
Okay so if they're on equal grounds in your opinion then my point still stands. Mick just don't get enough respect. Or any rapper who has something important to say for that matter. It just bothers me that "conscious" is a derogatory term in the industry
donkeypire37 I get what you saying but don't think for a second that Flatbush zombies isn't a conscious rap group
give it time.. they blew up before mick
ah Mick this is a classic my bro
The Dopeness. The production value the lyrical value = Classic
This, Martyrs and quite a few others I consider standards. You could listen to this 10 years later.
Back after 5 years and this shit still go dumb hard
Goddamn. Chicago is on some shit right now. The music scene makes me wanna go there so bad.
Dont do it
I get what u sayin, but that was Wall St ny not Chicago .
Josh B you faggot, I was settin the record straight for anyone else tht didn't know
Frenchy Blaxk Maybe you should start saying what you mean before I do it for you. What you gonna do about it?
+Josh B bruh stfu fake goofie ass
Shoutout to that pizza at the end. Looks dank
Best believe I'd smash
+Chris M LOL!!! nigga said ''shout-out to that pizza''!
this go to hard ! VA fucking with ya!
Jay electronic + Chance + Kendrick = Mick Jenkins
marceljenx
damn right!! he's something special
he sounds like a combination of the three, no denying that (voice wise i mean), he is definitely something unique
Why the fuck people always trying to compare for?
David Packer
it's called hip hop... it's a game, a competition
Fuck Kendrick most overrated rapper of all time
Sound just like aesop rock. Much love. True hip hop is making a come back.
To think i know this dude...the come up is real...keep doing yo thing bro
This some real underground chi town muzik here. And it bang so Hard!(pause)#Salute

I know you don't pay too much attention these comments but I hope the world quits sleeping on you &' get hydrated! All love from the 615 .

"You talkin' tough Toucan Sam, don't get to f**kin' wit me
