It is CRIMINAL that this man isn't more popular. This song and video are iconic alone, but the fact is that this man doesn't seem to make a SINGLE bad song, nor a song where he isn't going ham on the mic. This is literally what so many people ask for in modern hip hop, but nobody shows up to listen 😩
I'm the kind of person who absolutely searches for this kind of music and lyricism, and I have never heard of him until tonight. If I had I would have shown up earlier :( it blows me away how easy it is to miss songs with millions of views now. Bout to give this discography a spin.
That drummer is insanely good! The way he accentuates notes on the hi hat, how he plays ghost notes and rim shots on the snare. How he plays these fast bass drum kicks. He makes a hell lot out of a simple drum set with only hi hat, bass drum snare and ride.
Agreed 👍 He's a really great person and his message is necessary. Met him in D.C. several years ago. Friends with the keyboard player, Ralph Real. Great people!!!
he tours worldwide... he cant be that slept on. Ive seen him twice live. Now i can give you a better example of a slept on artist... youtube Benjamin Starr
Lamzy whites get killed more than blacks according to fbi stats. that's cause they're more whites than blacks. Just cause a rapper says something doesn't mean it's always true. ALL LIVES MATTER
The funny thing is, he's right, we aren't adjacent. Just not in the way he was implying. As you correctly pointed out, whites are killed more often than blacks are.
+Pac +Pac +Pac All Lives do matter, but white people as a whole have rarely been treated in a way that would tell them their lives don't matter. People of color in the United States haven't been treated as well as whites have (this is coming from a white dude btw) The stats that Oddisee is mentioning is that black people are MORE OFTEN mistreated. As you said, there are more whites killed (by who/what?) than blacks, but that's due to whites making up over 60% of the population, while blacks are merely 14%. But when using those numbers, you can find that blacks are more often mistreated/killed at the hands of cops than whites are, not just off of the amounts, but the percentages of the total population that they make up
How does this not have more views? Seriously the instrumentation, style, and overall execution of this track is amazing. I like the how he controls the flow and makes more rythmic than just your typical rap bars. The drummer is really talented and understands space very well and follows the artist. The keys are just sick.

Can't wait to see him again next month, he's very down to earth and knows how to deliver a great live experience when he performs. #Oddisee #LikeReallyYouTheShit
White dude in Michigan raped 20 women and got 45 days🙄 We ALL know too well that White lives matter. Judge said he had such a bright future ahead of him lets not ruin it over some "RAPE"! (Ruin a black life over a traffic ticket though) These people are delusional, thats a part of keeping this facade up so they can benefit.
Hey it's your uber Driver here! Egyptians were not black, Nubians were black, which were for a time the Ruling class. Most regular egyptions were semitic
Well, the Rap itself is just Conscious Rap, which is almost as old as the party hyping and shout-outs that MC's started out with when Hip Hop first formed as a genre. The music gives me really great, oldschool Roots vibes, though - something special for sure !
They actually already done it a while ago since JCole was a great fan of Rock Creek Park Oddisee's album and the song has been canceled since (with Kendrick Lamar as guest also). You can easily find interview about this on it. Since then not confirmed but too much ego from Cole resulted in aborting the project. The worse of all being J Cole stealing his flow in Born Sinner. It seems incredible but pretty much believable if you hear both People Hear What They See and Born Sinner at the time this is literally Oddisee flow but with less mastery
Never heard of him before but glad I watched this. this was so amazing. I definitely have to check out some more of his work. Any suggestions, where should I start?
BriRealiLL The album I would start with is People Hear What They See! But Oddisee is also known as a super talented producer and has many albums with just beats. For that I would start with The Beauty In All!
You definitely need to check out "The Good Fight" I personally think is his best so far. "Iceberg" (recent album) i think comes in next. "People Hear What They See" is also great. But don't forget about his instrumental albums (my favorite "Rock Creek Park"). A lot but good place to start.
BriRealiLL "tangible dream" "Killing time" "Back of my mind" "Own appeal" "Belong to the world" "After thoughts" After listening to these fine songs, you'll definitely become an Oddisee fan.

I love these lyrics. Really makes you think about how this country has done nothing to improve itself. Even though this song is 3 years old it still fits the times.
THIS Drummer, holy shit, his accents are ridiculously smooth. His posture, his groove, as much as I love the entire set he's mesmerizing.
Jon Laine
Facts. Where he from; Austin?
So fuckin buttery smooth

This comment is underrated
Bassist is insane too.. he doesn't stretch out much here, but I saw them live in Dublin and the whole band blew my mind
Locomótiv this is so underrated!! was thinking the same shit fuck yes.
bro that hi hat work is fucking legendary
the balance between aggressive and delicate is beautiful.
Well heard! 💖
This song needs more recognition, especially now

This live version is so much better than the studio version
My man Oddisee the most slept on in hip hop atm.
YESSSSA

Keith B most casual listeners don't know who he is. That's what he means.
Mike Rotchburns like really
Song is amazing, but as a drummer, I'm just blown away at this dude's timing and dynamics. Insanely good feel.
That's DC for you bruh

+Edgar R. that sounds nice but thats not the reality we live in.
pretty terrible actually. why must we continue to segregate ourselves
Saw him live in portland, the crowd didn’t realize this man’s catalog
Oddisee is the truth!!! Keep doing ya thing my dude!!
This dude touches a song and it’s gold
oddisee is sooooo slept on! his entire discog is iconic
2:09 to 2:24 .......My god, that was one of the best spits i've heard ...Amazing
why is he so underrated :(
menameselassie frrr
mimimmi .... would you also complain if would be fame? like "uhhh why is he so mainstream now. I listend to him since 1945"
like really!
I'm Brazilian and I know! even though I understand almost nothing hahaha
Hugh Mungus you took my reply 😣
Beautiful convergence between snare and voice and that smooth basslines. Good track.
10 years following this amazing artist .. always shouting out his voice
this is one of the clearest and smoothest flows I've ever heard
What a flow geez.
This has been on repeat for the past 3 weeks. Can't stop, won't stop, don't even know how to stop!!
Damn, smooth drumming skills
dude is a freak
imo he stole the performance
Angel Tang good jazz drummer
the drummer, the lyrics, and the whole vibe of this group is amazing
One of my biggest influences for giving hip hop music a try. Keep up the amazing work Oddisee. You're proving what art is all about!
Percentage of 97% of pop music today:
40% - Baby
22% - oh
12% - yeah
20% - mmmmm
6% - actual lyrics
how has the journey been so far?
How does this not have more views? Seriously the instrumentation, style, and overall execution of this track is amazing. I like the how he controls the flow and makes more rythmic than just your typical rap bars. The drummer is really talented and understands space very well and follows the artist. The keys are just sick.

This hits hard after those years !! Like really!
This deserves a million and more likes. no like really
Always a pleasure to listen to Oddisee and Good Compny.
i will never forget the summer i was put onto oddisee, i'm so happy he's getting his well deserved recognition.
Underrated af. First time listen was now. He's talented.
this is too good. really need to see him live
this was tha first vid i peeped that introduced me to COLORS, so dope, thank y'all. and peace to oddisee one of tha illest to ever do it.
"How you make a film about Egypt with all lead roles Caucasian" I really wanna know this
Eygptians were black and its real name is Kamet not Egypt.
how a brotha get 3 for a sac, and your brother go free for a rapin?
White dude in Michigan raped 20 women and got 45 days🙄
We ALL know too well that White lives matter.

B DeBot where is the thumbs down emoji on a iPad so I can give you a thumbs down on that comment. Sorry im a android user.
Been rolling with Oddisee for a decade now and he just keeps getting better....
fav song on the album. Even better live. One of the most important rapper's doing it right now.
Oddisee got real talent and skills that a lot of mc’s from today don’t have. Support you man, never stop. You’re one of my favorite mc’s.
Dope as always. Oddisee has a flow unlike any other
Posted Brand sounds like amine
God all these songs on this channel makes me wish they were all live playing at a bar so i could drink while enjoying the artistry 😭
My three year old loves this melody....I love the message
Naw like really
incredible vibes and message with smoothest of deliveries..
thank you!
oh my goodness, the drums are way on point. and that flow, my oh my.
i found this yesterday and I just came back from one of his shows, the vibe he creates is amazing
and the band is on some next level shit, they're all on one accord. everybody should really support
there's this new style of rap and hip hop and i don't know what to call it but it's so beautiful
chloe he has huge influence from jazz, r&b, and a underground genre from Washington DC called "Go Go"
Well, the Rap itself is just Conscious Rap, which is almost as old as the party hyping and shout-outs that MC's started out with when Hip Hop first formed as a genre. The music gives me really great, oldschool Roots vibes, though - something special for sure !
I don’t know it’s pretty close to Tribe to me, just with original jazz behind it instead of samples
it's so beautiful and glorious and magnificent and magical and i love it so so much
Conscious soul
Came here to say: this is truly unfair world. look how much this man is underrated
Oddisee has been grinding for ever! Finally he's beginning to get his shine.
I have to keep going back to this one.
The Vibration of this, Absolutely Resonates!!!!!🗣🙏🧘🏾♀️👏🧐👀👂🏼
One of the most influential, and lyrically on point at all times. ODDISEE, damn man - much love from South Africa
wow wow wow !!!! get the chills everytime, thank you for this amazing music !
Omg I love oddisee so happy to see him here
How did I not find out about Oddisee till now? Nah, like really....
ermahjosh 😂
It's alright you here now!! Now go check out his Diamond District project and the Good Fight
When you found ppl like 69, nah like really 😂
You might like some of brother Ali songs or atmosphere
you did now
love the composition/voicing of this. immensely precise and well justified..
Pure talent
C'est le flow de Eugérie de nekfeu
It's amazing how he feels the music and flows with it
So important right now
My man... goes so hard on these lyrics. Execution and delivery, awwww kills it
Thats what you call substance right there, what hiphop needs nowadays. Keep it up!
This guy is really good on the spot and his hip hop jazz vibes are so uplifting
Him and J.Cole would make a dope ass song 💭

This just made my dayyy. First time hearing him and he sooooo good
LOVE THIS SHOW
Both of the studio version and this one are freaking amazing
Can we please, please, please, please, please! Have this version of the song added to Spotify.
This is the type of music you hear at a poetry slam for the opening act
Never heard of him before but glad I watched this. this was so amazing. I definitely have to check out some more of his work. Any suggestions, where should I start?
BriRealiLL The album I would start with is People Hear What They See! But Oddisee is also known as a super talented producer and has many albums with just beats. For that I would start with The Beauty In All!
My favorite Oddisee song is "Own Appeal"
Check out The Good Fight, The Odd Tape and his last album.
You definitely need to check out "The Good Fight" I personally think is his best so far. "Iceberg" (recent album) i think comes in next. "People Hear What They See" is also great. But don't forget about his instrumental albums (my favorite "Rock Creek Park"). A lot but good place to start.
BriRealiLL
"tangible dream"
"Killing time"
"Back of my mind"
"Own appeal"
"Belong to the world"
"After thoughts"
After listening to these fine songs, you'll definitely become an Oddisee fan.
Just saw them perform this in Portugal! One up! Love from PT \m/
Those harmonies caught me off guard 👏🏽👏🏽
Maaaan these dudes go hard! Glad I came across them!
This is so epic! I love it so much! So real ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can’t get tired of this bit, especially this COLORS edition!
So proud this has 5 million views. From DC to world so proud to see someone from my city doing it big
Nah, like really
seen them on stage in Paris last month : pure fire !!!!! Real hip-hop, real music, real show !!!
I want more rap like this
Simply, one the best. Period! He is the talent missing from the current landscape. From SUDAN TO THE AMERICAS. We salute 🫡!!!!!!
[Verse One]
Why you want to catch my eye, when you already know that I'm taken (nah like really)
How you past due on payments, and I'm seeing you on vacation (nah like really)
How you gonna make us great, when we were never really that amazing (nah like really)
Take it back to what, I don't find hanging black lives entertaining (nah like really)
How do you police the streets of a neighborhood you do not engage in (nah like really)
Why a brother get three for a sack while your brother go free for a raping (nah like really)
How you make a film about Egypt with all leading roles caucasian (nah like really)
How you saying all lives matter when the stats say we are not adjacent (nah like really)
Tell me if I got it all wrong, like I signed on the line but I didn't read the form
And the fine print is all about the times we mourn, and the color of my skin means I gotta be strong
And your hand me down faith said if I was reborn, when I take my last breath that you'll let me breathe on
And as of right now we could never be pals, so how are we supposed to get along (nah like really)
This now more than ever though, all about force and measure though (nah like really)
Why am I forced to let it go, and clean your messes though (nah like really)
You take jobs to Mexico, pay us less and lesser though (nah like really)
Promised to bring them back, and that problem gets the vote (nah like really)
[Hook]
Really (repeated)
[Verse Two]
I be on the grind all day, I don't pay mind to the date (nah like really)
Missed call vibrate, I find most times it could wait (nah like really)
I don't talk blue in the face, just to make movement in place (nah like really)
Out of breath watching other man steps and you wonder why you’re losing the race (nah like really)
I was sleeping on floors, making bread instead of bed on tour man (nah like really)
If you ain't never cry about a loss, don't speak about the situation you’re in (nah like really)
I ain't got a big deal but I'm still a big deal and I feel important (nah like really)
Yeah you got a big deal running on a big wheel I ain't with extorting (nah like)
Yeah I'm independent and I'm making hella noise, and I'll never let a woman make a Helen out of Troy
Got no suckers in the circle that pretend to be boys, I don't lend them an extension I just send them decoys
Chilling in the cut is when I'm really feeling voids, 'cause the movements getting muted and it really needs a voice
We're just picking between the evils of the lethals and the liars
People tired and they really need a voice (nah like really)
This now more than ever though, all about force and measure though (nah like really)
This that calm collected flow, done right, wrong correctional (nah like really)
Enough about peace and blessings bro I want that deeper message though (nah like really)
If you on top that surface, drop that lesson though, preach (nah like really)
lost count of how many times i got back to listen to this. is SO good
Beast! dude straight kills this. So poetic, so potent with truths, wisdom and knowledge. Love this!
I love these lyrics. Really makes you think about how this country has done nothing to improve itself. Even though this song is 3 years old it still fits the times.
simply wow - all time classic
Masterful execution,one of the greats if you know🤲🏽🌊💯
SO SMOOOOOTHHHHHHH
i didnt want the video to end. hes amazing
I can't think of a song that effects me emotionally as much as Doing It Stealthy by Oloff does.
GOOSEBUMPS!! I love poetic rappers omfg.
Colors Berlin is one of the best places on RUclips to be introduced to new artists along with 88rising and SBTV.
I absolutely love the flow, this guy is insanely smart and just really hope he goes far because we need more realism rappers out here
That drummer complements him so well!!!
I just LOVE! I always come back to this video. Can't help but watch his feet especially during the chorus lol
I found so many artists oh my 💕
