Mos Def has the ability to sound like he's rapping in the studio no matter where he is.
Nigga, it was pre-recorded. Mos probably recorded that in a studio. Look at the transition at 1:13 (the direction the car was moving in) and you'd see.
@@taslimoseni2231 imagine thinking this is the only time mos def ever rapped live. Even when he was rapping those MF DOOM songs being recorded by that cheap camcorder he still sounded professionally recorded. Hell, his other Chappelle performance was recorded in an empty bar and it still sounded good.
Mos Def's flow is OP
@@billbill6094 I'm not disputing that his live rap is fire. I'm only saying that this wasn't a live rap.
It was a karaoke, but he actually has some flow, he's good at singing songs
Dave is tryin to act cool but he is witnessing greatness, live.
He in the background
Sup cube
He’s trying to be funny
@@multipurposebs444 he ain't trying shit. His jamming with his bredwin. Little did Mos know he was in the company of the GOAT
Facts
"I'm most definite, not think so."
I can keep coming back for that line alone.
I’m MOS DEF’ in it.? I’m not think so..
"They all talk fast, and they all think slow."
What? That's straight fire.
@@kumarkunasa3314 now THAT’s high level word play
@@chrisrubio8212 I was making a unique animal noise when he spit that.
This is one of the banginest in the Mos Def catalog... This was a magic time in Hip Hop that lead to the truest expression of love and unity in musical form - Dave Chappelle's Block Party
So that carpool karaoke thing came from this
i was just thinking that son
@erock755 As much as I love mos def and chappelle show this isnt where carpool karaoke came from. It was just an idea that some TV execs had. chances are carpool karaoke came from some crack infused 50 year olds.
@erock755 Stfu with culture theft bs. There guys didn't invent it.
Same thing I said!
@@redson08 True but it does happen
You know the most interesting thing about Mos Def? As great as he is rapping, he's just as great acting. This dude is immensely talented.
He is definately under-rated for acting and rapping. He did a great job in the movie "13 Blocks" with Bruce Willis.
True! I saw him live in a stage play and he was brilliant
My correction the movie was called "16 Blocks" not 13 Blocks
Damn I was going to say 12 blocks but 16 is the right answer
He was a actor first but his bones are made from being a super MC
Dave Chappelle had the realest musical guests. This whole show was epic.
It’s how I first got turned on to Kanye West
That’s how I got started with Dead Prez
FarmClub was better. So many great guest
Ya tha fact he got de la soul too on there is dope asf ... n that's bcuz mos def is a big fan of de la too #RIPtrugoy :( 💔🙏❤️🕊
I feel like they made him compromise on his second season guests, who were still good but more commercially exposed. First season was mostly underrated or rather, under exposed artists. Or perhaps he genuinely enjoyed who he brought on both seasons, but my initial thought is just a hunch.
Even the kidnapped kid in the back was feeling the flow.
🤣
I peeped him too
😂
Hahahaha
Gold thought
He selling weed nigga 😂
I love Mos Def and he doesn't get the credit he deserves for his music and his acting talent. He's amazing.
He played in the movie something that the Lord made he was awesome you should have got an Oscar
@@hardenernest5 I saw that movie and I agree he does deserve an Oscar for it.
@@Dwightfairfield. Close Edge
Yes he is. From emcees and lovers of hip hop. Fuck that industry shit
@@alphazero2005 FACTS 😉
“I’m a catalog, you’re the same song”
20 years later and most of mumble rappers still didn't change
love that line
@@Jakommo
Rap music has morphed..
If people still rapped like Mos Def I wouldn’t listen to their played out flow.
You call it mumbling, I call it exotic speech.
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 Post one example of the 'exotic speech' you are talking about.
@@tikrit3160 Earl Sweatshirt.
"They all talk fast but they all think slow"
Man...facts right there
I always thought Dave kinda looked like bugs bunny in this lmao
Lol it's the teeth
@@3irdcity902 lol true, TV Teeth
I’ve been thinking about this comment for days 😂😂😂
Nobody:
Dave: 🤓
@@kingmustafa3915 😂😂 I think it's the hat, too, for some reason
MOS def got bars
Always
It wasn't a freestyle
@@porcodio582 did they say it was?
Gotta listen to 'HIstory' by Mos Def and Talib Qwely
@@larryguerra4656 Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in".
I love the twinkle in his eye as he raps!
Twinkle!!! That's it... I been watching mos def and he has this peaceful look on his face and I been looking for a word for it. I'll go with twinkle.
Havin fun
It's just rapping. Geez.
“I’m like the second plane that made the towers face off” 🤯 Mos Def, one of most naturally gifted rappers ever.
"The shit that let you know it's really not a game dawg"
“Your grind and MY grind ain’t the same dawg.”
“i’m the catalog, you the same song”
This man is the most underrated rap artist of all time. Started off as an actor, he’s a great musician and can rap just as well also an artist., The list goes on.
I agree
Oh! I didnt know he was an actor first
One of ghost face killa
Prodigy core mega also gets over looked ..styles p ..
@@dwrightcarter7419 so mos OG is Ghost Face
He is rated among who has a taste for real art..idiots aint going to look for good stuff
8 years later still a banger
More like 18 years later and still a banger actual footage was filmed in like 2002
@@Imagination-In-A-Box lol 8
Yeah this came out in 2013 lmao
Facts
@@erichuang7524 nope. Chappelle's show first aired in 2003. Ended in 2006. This is from the first season. 2003.
This is still better than 98% of what's on the radio now.
100%
Fr hearing a person's real voice who has real talent is just not common on the radio now
It was back then as well.
Rhymes like this is why i fell in love with hiphop💯
This was a preview of “Close Edge” on The New Danger album out in 2004.
Thank you... Only listened to Black on Both sides and evidently that's a mistake.
Thanks bro!
One of my fav Mos songs "they all talk fast but they all think slow, im most definity, not think so""
Mos Def has unparalleled energy with his flow
Mos spittin them multi syllable rhymes and a lava flow 🔥
Watched this clip back in 8th grade, been living rent free in my head ever since.
In the PENTHOUSE of my mind. I remember this (and play it over the years). More clearly than conversations with some people I know
What an iconic show, with seriously talented musical guests. This show was the whole package
I have always had a crush on mos def from his looks to his flow.
This was the very first hip hop song I’ve ever heard. This episode is pivotal to my growth. Wouldn’t think the way I do if it wasn’t for Dave Chappelle and mos def.
That's a huge statement! If this was your introduction to hip hop... Your introduction was special
Well buddy welcome to the fray. if you started off your hip hop journey with a mos Def song for me possibly the best most death song and there's some great ones a lot of them but man the swagger the bravado the New yorkness of it the straight hip hop.
a dude with honestly a dude voice and a dude approach Man you got a great start dig most def. find talib qweli. check out common, even early Kanye. keep rolling man You started with the best bro. lucky you
1:53 Dave's life flashed before his eyes 👀 😆 🤣 😂
Was looking for this comment lol
🙏
Mos Def is a fucking legend. The rap game gotta take a bow to this man, and we should appericiate him alot more! one love
This song has been stuck in my head everyday for over 10yrs lol
I still remember seeing this and Black Star's performance when the show was new. Mos is definitely one of the greatest of all time up there with Rakim and some others.
Mos Def was one of the nicest rappers I've seen live. Was dope af. Got a drum set out on Quiet Dog Bite hard, played and rapped at same time. Fantastic
1:52 Dave almost got hit by a cab.
yep, he was pissed too
Looks high
Nope got hit by a bar
Naa he high af
Had a blunt or joint before who knows probably even a bump💀
They all talk fast , but they all think slow . 👑
I actually said that as an insult to someone...never knew it was a lyric of his ,where is my adulation huh? Joke
I saw you somewhere else too
Mos Def is too smooth with it! He's been consistent too!
Epic. Rhymes from a different time no one does it like this anymore. The technical skill is there in today's best like J. Cole and Kendrick but it don't move me like this.
They’re trash… ain’t got shit on Mos…
@@forcedtohaveahandle it ain’t bout who did it first it’s bout who did it rifht
And that's why hes the Mos Def.
Mighty Mos Def, a true MC, Brooklyn representin' !!! REAL NY hip hop, much respect & love from a Bronx shorty living in Rome🇮🇹💋
Wow Rome? For work?
@@paulagyen7591I went to college here and I married an Italian and this is home now.
@@lf1496
Sweet
The first time I heard Mos Def was “Travellin’ Man” on The Beat while driving to school back in 1998. I called the radio station to get the name of the song then drove around to every Sam Goody, Tower Records, and Wherehouse until I found it. I wouldn’t say Mos Def is the greatest MC, but he’s my favorite. His melodic flow coupled with sophisticated lyricism is elite.
That must have been some work because it's a DJ Honda featuring Mos Def song. One of the best joints but he has so many classics. The guy is so timeless and so hip hop.
I love that one, the solo song he has on sound bombing 2 believe it's called Next Universe.
Top 5 of all time, no question about it
He is one of the Gods that will eventually move on physically, but remain forever in the minds and hearts of those who appreciate content over sound. Creativity over electricity.
Dont call him a god, gods dont die
dylon dylon dylon dylon and dylon certify this 100 percent hot fire
Who here in 2023? Still 🔥💯🔥
2024
"Tell a wild town boy not to get get off they horse, just to find out the town laws strictly enforced" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
* them wild cowboys
“Tell a wildcard boy not to get off they horse, before they find out the town law is strictly enforced.” 🔥
“Tell a wild cowboy”
Thats some DOOM type bars right there. The inspiration hits deep. This man was too underrated
Mighty most created so many creative ways to say F around and find out what's going to happen to you I mean another
Another one people pick is I'm like the second plane to hit the towers to let you know it's not a game it's exactly the affect that it had the first one you're like a mistake the second one you like oh my God something is really going on what an incredibly creative way to express that thought sad for the people in 911 but it definitely makes
It’s just two dudes in a car but this is one of my favorite performances.
His vibe is something special
He's SO Brooklyn!
And that is the highest of compliment so I'm a Michigander Detroit area though but man when Brooklyn is in the house everybody know what's up
This segment heavily influenced my music taste as a kid. It was my first introduction to New York hip hop being from Indiana with no family members who listened to hip hop.
hahah I too am from Indiana with no hip hop listeners in the family. I was probably about 13 or 14 when this came out and it's still my favorite of all the musical guests Dave had on.
These two left their respective industries at the peak of their popularity. Both left with their dignity.
What a legend. Mos Def and Talib Kweli did a lot of unforgettable good for hip hop.
Kwali ain't shi....m
@@mcdonoghrahloh459Kweli sold more records than Mos, only white ppl have a problem with him 🤷🏿♂️
People forget how ill Mos Def is
Mos def
I remember watching this when I was 13 and going, “Oh shit that’s the guy from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!”
Ford Prefect
Bring ya towel
Wait you know Mighty Mos from Hitchhiker's guide? Damn I feel old
Be kind rewind for me
His acting in that movie was better than Ford's character in the books.
“AND THATS CLOSE!” This song is timeless for real!
What the instrumental called
My top 5 no matter what
no lies
For sho
This is awesome. They're so chill about it.
"I'm the catalogue, you're the same song" 🔥🔥🔥
That Hook was fire.. The Game miss you DEF
“I’m the catalogue…you the same song.”
🔥 🔥🔥
He should have recorded this in the studio afterwards. Would have been a hit.
Close Edge off The New Danger album, cuz
@@cloroxbleach2520 Thanks, good looking out! So it wasn’t really a freestyle I’m the purest sense of the word.
I think its actually one of those pieces that works a lot better as a freestyle than an actual song
@@natepeace1737freestyle vs off the top of the dome 🙃
Dave looked like he was gonna start krumping lmaooo
Looooool
He looks like that a lot.
Mos...... that smile 😅💚
"Im like the second plane that made the towers face off/ the shyt that let u know its really not a game dog" sheeeesh
"I'm like the second plane that took that towers face off; the shit that let you know this wasn't no game dawg"
That's still one of the most raw lines in all of rap.
Still 🔥in 2022, STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥!
This til this day is one of the greatest hip hop tv performances of all time
The episode with De La was fire too
The skill to put words together and sentences where they flow n rhythm is amazing 👏 🙌 👌
Ima tell my kids this was “Carpool Karaoke”💯
💯✊🏾
Was lucky enaught to rock with this dude at the hotel I worked in. He is soooooooo cool and humble.... Real og
The world needs more of this..... master lyricist.
One of the most under rated rappers of all time.... But he's definitely in my top 5... ✌️
When he was backing up and flowing that was mad dope
Spitting Bars of FIRE!!!!
DRINK CHAMPS BROUGHT ME BACK HERE 🤫 in our time machine ✌🏾
Always come back to this gem ❤
I miss Chappelle show. He always had a musical act incorporated into the show. Good stuff. Glad I was around for this!
I had to play this back 3 times.
Me too!
I have ridden in the car and played this song 25 times straight drove hundreds of miles just on it to get the flow try to get every word of vibe the the lingo and mighty most death is incredible
@@ondago2 Man I love it
I remember watching this when it premiered way back when. Fast forward to 2021 and this never gets old. Real hip hop sh!t...
😄😂🤣I always bust out laughing at Dave's reaction when the cab almost hit him
The car is on top of a lorry. See how high it is compared to the parked cars
@@paulrouhan7288 doesn't make it any less funny.
Chapelle trying not to freak out at the greatness.
“I’m the second plane that made the towers face off” is one of the hardest lines ever😎
My favorite line
I was floored when I first heard him spitting out these glorious rhymes freestyle. He is a poet and one of my favorite artists.
This episode was one of my favorites just because of this clip! Straight fire 🔥
Sick frestyle. Love Mos Def
2023 and I still got the chills listening to it! 🔥🔥🔥
Mos...his grin just makes me melt
I remember when Mos Def used to live in cape town for a while, his son would go to mill street skate park and we all would have a skate session together.
Damn. He killed this
9 years ago?! This was great!!!.
It was recorded sometime between 2003 and 2004 if I’m not mistaken
I saw this clip few weeks ago and man wen he was spittin I was hypnotized...have never heard his old stuff must listen to him
Why is The Ecstatic so hard to find anywhere.. Piece of Gold
It's on discogs, but it's expensive now. Glad I picked these vinyls up early.
Right?! 😭❤️ Does anyone know why it was removed from Spotify?
Had to come bk and peep again! ♐️Gang MOs Def
Man, I was like 9 or 10 when I saw this and I thought he did it off the dome and I fuckin lost my minnddd. Thought it was the coolest shit ever, and still do! Fuck Mos Def is dope.
Bro, I love this man!!
2023* & this man is a legend 🚬🧊
Priceless.
This single video put so many modern rappers whole careers to shame man 🔥
I remember when I saw this live back In junior high...it gave me chills with every punchline.
much love for this show
The show was amazing, the music at the end was always awesome and it is so hard to find the musical performances. This is great
I remember watching this as a kid and I was just blown away
Dope beat. True talent!
Man I love this and one of my fave mos def songs forever
“… your grind and my grind ain’t the same dawg…”
