Yeh 100% agree. Dude doesnt even say anything but just vibes to the music. By the time they walk into the room at the end, had me screaming "let's go!!" from the sofa 🤣🤣
@@DogWick i gotta different vibe from cottonmouth, its hard to explain but you could always see the pain in his eyes and he seemed to have some good in him and his acting was probably the best I've ever seen
Can't agree more. Cottonmouth was a true gangster. Not a gangsta, but a gangster. He had style and obviously wisdom, but got taken out by a random situation, that he didn't and couldn't foresee / predict. If only that didn't happen, I would've loved to see his plans. And as the dude above me commented, there is something good in everything.
Salt Shaker Luke snapping his neck, leading to the public not trusting him (because he killed a civilian) would have been a better ending for his character, and for the series.
Personally I like the way he went out. I like the poetic irony that a criminal family, who claimed family was the most important thing, all ended up killing each other because of the corrupting nature of their lifestyle.
I love this show for introducing me to this song more than anything. I mean, it was at least the second highest quality Netflix Marvel series, but introducing me to this song was more important than anything else it did.
In this scene, i always see jidenna as being an evil jester, entertaining and exalting the King in his court. The way jidenna sways and motions his hands is so eccentric and playful yet the atmosphere is so heavy and tense, its eerie, evil, and yet so dope. I can litterally imagine jidenna with a jesters hat and sinister facepaint, and a jesters outfit, with scary teeth. This scene itself has such a sinister and Badass vibe. Love it so much. Best scene in luke cage IMO.
That's a spot on interpretation Joshua - thanks for sharing it! One little thing is the slight echo of an empty club (compared to the original song) which adds to that sinister vibe. 👁 👁 👄 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖑𝖑 𝕭𝖊𝖗𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖒 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖐𝖊𝖘 1976-2015 𝔯𝔢𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔠𝔞𝔱 𝔦𝔫 𝔭𝔞𝔠𝔢
It's almost as if Jidenna salutes Cottonmouth when he says long live the chief. This gave me Kingpin vibes. Cottonmouth was the Kingpin of Harlem for sure.
I haven't listened to Rap seriously since 2005....just dont feel it.....but after i saw this....I bought his music....What happened to him? I thought he was gonna blow bIG
@androlibre9661 I think that's what it meant, blew up as an he grew larger and gotten more viewers, to check out his music.not actually blew up like he died or anything it was a wrong translation you assumed huh?.
@@Wolfmangoodmanll No...what i meant was I thought he'd have been more of a star by now. Outside of this I I havent seen him anywhere. I bough his album, I thought he was fire. I'd have expected him to be big time on the scene, dropping verses all over the place.But im a old head, guess this aint what hip hop is these days
I still get chills watching this scene. Killing off Cottonmouth halfway into the season singlehandedly changed the trajectory of this show for the worse
Agree 100% One of the most charismatic villains in the Marvel universe. I watched the rest of season 1, realised the replacement villain didn't come close to him so didn't bother with the second series. No reflection on the other characters but shows how important a good well rounded villain is to a show. Having said that I cannot wait to see Mahershala Ali as Blade so maybe it was a worthwhile sacrifice!
100 percent agreed. It should have been him getting superpowers or something. Maybe he starts a superpower arms race in Harlem or something. Cause diamondback was ridiculous.
DoodleBob yes they are😂😂 they’re apart of the expanded television MCU. Which also features; inhumans, Agents of Shield, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways etc etc. They’re all apart of the MCU. It’s was literally confirmed before they all aired
@Madrid Studio see i don’t get that because AoS literally ties into the movies multiple times 🤔 I think they 100% (SPOILER) leave the mcu timeline when they start fucking with time but they were defo apart of it
Moses Lupai bushmaster was a great villain but he doesn’t measure close to cottonmouth i swear he was one of the greatest MCU villains ever, he was just sooooo cool
This was the peak of the whole goddamn show. Cottonmouth should've lived and there should've been more scenes with him watching the talent rehearse in his club. Imagine getting Mahershala Ali for your show and killing him off lol.
Unlike whatever the other person wants you to believe, these are in the same universe. And what gives if its the same actor? Are we forgotting the changes in War Machine and Hulk? The recasts of Minn-Erva and Sersi? Benedict Cumberbatch playing Dr. Strange AND Dormammu in the same movie?
It's absolutely not my genre of music, but this song just knocked me over while watching the scene. And damn the way that DJ raises his salute during the chorus is smooooth. I know it's a small and unimportant detail, but that just looks so elegant.

Makes him look cool

Thanks for introducing me to Jidenna Stokes💯
@Fortune The best thing Marvel ever introduced me to was Jidenna, the man is in a a select few of the rappers around today that has really good lyrics
That's how I found this song!
I read that in bushmaster voice
One of the best MCU scenes. Love how Cottonmouth sways to the music
Now that’s a real rap!
Facts
Kinda bs that they killed off cottonmouth so easy, was a beast haha
Wasn't he! Such a good actor
I was saddened as they killed him, I wanted to see him more in the series because I had already seen his potential.
Spoiler alert
Famdingo he was killed by MARAIAH STOKES
@Curtis Ball us Alfre a bad director?
I prefer this then the regular music video
this actually looks kinda classy, even if it is rap
Me too.
Most elite intro for a superhero show episode ever. Change my mind
Props to whoever came up with that SUPER freaky psycho-beat
Straight up
It’s a song from jidenna‘s album from 2017
The minute cotton mouth died I auto piloted this show
@Iamjacks Rage theres no way hes not dead lol

This should've been in Black Panther....
Too much profanity for a pg 13 movie sadly

April 2021.....such a tune.
ITS 2021 ….BRING BACK LUKE
First heard this on Luke Cage and it's been on my Playlist ever since
Why does this song sound better on the TV show I wonder if it's bc they possibly made the bass deeper or something???
It’ll be a bit weird to see blade in the same universe as the same actor playing such an unforgettable villain.
Lol Marvel films will do that for ya
Not the same universe not officially yet
Unlike whatever the other person wants you to believe, these are in the same universe.
And what gives if its the same actor? Are we forgotting the changes in War Machine and Hulk? The recasts of Minn-Erva and Sersi? Benedict Cumberbatch playing Dr. Strange AND Dormammu in the same movie?
This was on par with the Kingpin. Cottonmouth was such a good villain.
This scene goes so hard I still think about it to this day
My favorite song in the series
This scene 🔥
Deep. Kinda like he was auditioning for his soul with Cottomouth observing. Dope scene.

This was one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen.
He really killed it in Luke Cage😎💪
Man this show was the best
This scene with this song is absolute genius directing
I forgot how many times I watched this scene when the show first dropped. Its just so well put together and the song bangs.
Mahershala as Cottonmouth!
There's a saying, Marvel never miscasts characters!
Man Marvel is perfect at casting!
Still one of the best villain themes
Cottonmouth is the chief of all villians! Long live the Chief!!!
Love that the purse chase is in the same place they shot Jidenna's Chief Don't Run video

Cottonmouth and Bushmaster were the best villains in this show. Diamondback and Mariah were just batshit crazy.
Один из любимых сериалов и один из любимых злодеев Коттонмут 🖤
I must have seen this a hundred times, not gonna stop now.
Jidenna has really changed since this first came out
Dj was killin it
I love too much this song. It's cool.
they should have kept cottonmouth as a main villain... damn!
Better than the original video, let's face it.
Desde que vi esta escena tengo esta cancion repitiendose en mi mente, excelente serie 👌👏 el tal cottonmouth es tremendo personaje como villano
Bang Bang
I remember when i watched this, i had to pause the video to Google the song immediately
Better than the studio/album version. The hall where they shot that has absolutely amazing hardwood acoustics.
This show always had the best music
Cottonmouth. One of the best written villains run down by imagination.
This goes super hard
Now it's Luke vs Blade!!!!!
When you are then man, you the man..
Everyone talking bout cotton mouth, my boy is Blade.... Its an upgrade
I think a guy mahershala would reach out to Wesley snipes to get knowledge so he bring back blade correctly
As hit and miss Luke cage was cottonmouth was a good villain with a ton of depth to him.
Cottonmouth had much more potential than they gave him
Great song from a great show, hope Disney brings it back in some form.
Holy fuck this is 7 years old??
One simple song can show how hyped a character is.
Even Cuttonmouth deserved a better end.
This one is the best among all blues of LUKE CAGE.

Elders saying everything's a nail to a hammer
And niggas can't spell but we know our Instagrammar
Well done's better than well said
I read niggas well, a nigga well read
Really I ain't met nobody smarter
That's why I got admitted but I still rejected Harvard
I'm the fresh prince, in a school where they couldn't read
Mama put me in a school with the Kennedys
When I met Bill Clinton I was seventeen
But dead presidents is all my niggas need
Dining with the governor's daughter
And her father say I remind him of Obama
I'm the chief diplomat, every day
And I'm black and white, Janelle Monae
They wanna be the King, but
