Bas, Jidenna (obviousely semi underrated compared to mainstream), Post malone (just stoney), Omen, me (someday soon xD), Logic, among many others are underrated
nocmsa Sure it shouldn't, but that is not at all how the world works. No point in wondering why things are the way that they are, things just..are. Knowing that things will constantly change and there will never be a unviersal thing that makes us all feel more acomplished is just how it is man.
+ FASHIONBYANU Where do you see a "hood ass attitude" being displayed at? You're not making sense at all! If you meant his TONE (in your original comment) is rough, sure... I can see that. Passion brings out emotions in people. However, to be ignorant and say he's exhibiting hood behavior is ridiculous and...ignorant.
My wife in fashion design had to explain to me what bespoke was, I thought it was a forced rhyme for "been spoke" instead it was Bespoke (pronounced bee-SPOHK) is a term used in the United Kingdom and elsewhere for an individually- or custom-made product or service. Traditionally applied to custom-tailored clothing, the term has been extended to information technology, especially for software consulting services.
It was the perfect theme song for Cottonmouth. Smart, ambitious, tough. One of the best Marvel villains yet because he is so relatable to. If he hadn't been born into Mama Mabel's clutches and gotten a few breaks in life, he could have become essentially who Jidenna is in real life.
This song hit me hard as fuck. Going from being homeless to working in a company on Fortune 500's top 100 companies to work for and being nervous about whether I can survive because it is also the hardest job I have ever had. Making more money that I have ever made in my life and completely scared I'll lose it all. The chief don't run, and if I do then I will never witness my legacy
This is the kind of artist that deserves mad support. Intelligent, meaningful and dope. Instead we get people like Kodak Black and Lil Yachty stuffed down our collective throats. Support real Hip Hop.
"I ain't even said a word but my suit bespoke." Bars. Thank goodness the music they put in Luke Cage is fire. Would've never known this cat besides Classic Man.
There's no way you can listen to Jidenna's music or watch his videos then go listen and/or watch these other artists without feelin' the sense of retardation taking residence within your cerebellum. His music is light years ahead of EVERYONE else (literally and figuratively speaking)! LONG LIFE THE CHIEF!
sad that he ain't gonna get much exposure on the level of Classic Man because he raps about positive shit and building his people up instead of turning up on lean, xanxs, pills, and usual nigga shit. I do know one thing for sure that he needs to stop being slept on.
Simonsini his presence is too powerful they don't want somebody that will spoken to be as popular as say I don't know Kendrick Lamar he's too Afrocentric for the main stream media to grab hold of they don't understand him and even if they do they don't want the world to get it. There's a such thing as being too black even if you are a black bi-racial person.😰smh. He's great when you see the women in his video they're not being disrespected he's he's a positive man all around like I just love the energy the vibe that comes off him.
Not to be deep but... He is one of the few RAPPERS getting recognize for his TRUE talents. I get frustrated when I see "rappers" that really don't rap but mumble and hum, get praises for making SHIT that don't make sense at all. There are so many other brilliant RAPPERS that are still underground that deserve it and its very sad that they can't get the honor that is due. Hip Hop seems to be dying, but when I see RAPPERS like this getting attention it makes my heart sing.
Well said. "Radio rap" has for the most part become about beat fetishism and simple sing along shit. With a few exceptions of course. Cole nailed it; "Back when you could get a platinum plaque without a melody."
wish we had more out here like him. He's definitely a book you can't put a title on, powerful voice with REAL RAPPING skills, unique ass style but behind it he's not afraid to be who he is and you can tell he has loads of diversity which is so important. I'm beyond impressed and I love every song he's come out with.
Long live Jidena. Very humble man have shake hands with him on June 30th june 2017 he was in Kenya but have never shake hands with our Kenya local artists.

One of the most unique artists today strongly ignored by the ones who need to hear his voice. We need to push Jidenna to the masses! He's an incredible performer.
It's mad crazy seeing Jidenna in something other than a suit 😂 But for real, this album HAS to drop, man. I feel like it's time and becoming past due. Hit after hit. Hoping that the album rolls out the right way. Everything else aside, that suit is HAAARD, yo. And I love his continuation of embodying of African culture - great to see that incorporation.

"you're dealing with a king not a kong out here" That's deep.
WTFAnyNameWorks that's not deep at all there were way better lyrics than that one in my opinion. That one has been used a lot.
Jacob Blanket there are a lot of other good lyrics of course, but i like that one in praticular the most, as you said it's a matter of opinion.
That's not deep at all lmao
WTFAnyNameWorks I think he meant it as "You're dealing with a King not a Khan out here" as in Genghis Khan the infamous Mongol Horde leader
Maggie F Speak that truth 👐
Still proudly bumping this whole album in 2023 👏🏿👏🏿🔥
Same
Still don't know why he didn't blow up bigger
Me to
I get a lot of dat doe❗️!👀🔥 TOO 🔥🎚️
Swears 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still proudly bumping this whole album in 2024 👏🏿👏🏿🔥
Ridiculous how underrated he is. Much deeper than a "Classic Man." Can't wait for the album.
he nit underated at all actually, he just doesnt make alot of music for him its Quality over quantity
+prettyboiJustin well said bro
+prettyboiJustin one of songs made it worldwide soo he is kinda underrated yo
Mans got a movement with this trill music
Agree...
Jidenna makes good music.
he is talented
I love this song!!
me 2
Not true
nice chest bro
this dude mad underrated
Supposedly releasing a full length album soon, super excited.
Richard Hess how soon? Not soon enough!
most of the good ones are
Bas, Jidenna (obviousely semi underrated compared to mainstream), Post malone (just stoney), Omen, me (someday soon xD), Logic, among many others are underrated
Nate Facts
He is so underrated. I honestly wish he would get more recognition than these other rappers that have shallow bars and mediocre beats
Elisha Jones From what I am seeing he is actually starting to blow up
Elisha Jones I always wonder Why recognition is such a since of accomplishment for people? Shouldn't matter what others don't see what you see.
nocmsa Sure it shouldn't, but that is not at all how the world works. No point in wondering why things are the way that they are, things just..are. Knowing that things will constantly change and there will never be a unviersal thing that makes us all feel more acomplished is just how it is man.
nocmsa I think it shows that you made it. That might not be his goal but I know it'd nice to know your being heard
Elisha Jones I don't want him to get recognized and become mainstream lol
"Betta stand when I speak. N*gga fix your posture."
Spoken with deep respect.
Fuh real
Love that he dresses classy but still raps like he from the hood.
i was thinking of the same thing lol
He got a hood ass attitude. That's where I was pointing at.
+FASHIONBYANU how can his attitude be hood? you dumbfuck
exactly
+ FASHIONBYANU
Where do you see a "hood ass attitude" being displayed at? You're not making sense at all!

@@michaeldavis9569 now I understand the bar. It is fire to say the least.
Kanye said it first on American Boy with Estelle, but it is hot
@@thornwatkins7675 it isn't uncommon in hip hop for lines to be repurposed. This usage was much better than Kanye's.

Jidenna probably got 8 inches and a birth mark mmm

Finally some intelligent rap music. I like it. His cameo in the Luke Cage TV series was brilliant... colorful and cultural.
It was the perfect theme song for Cottonmouth. Smart, ambitious, tough. One of the best Marvel villains yet because he is so relatable to. If he hadn't been born into Mama Mabel's clutches and gotten a few breaks in life, he could have become essentially who Jidenna is in real life.

Dolph C. Volker RIP Cornell Stokes
Rogene Tagoca Haha!!😂
Dolph C. Volker Finally? Never must've heard of Kendrick Lamar, J cole...
Love that he embraces his African culture
Naomi Amu what the actual fucking fuck are you talking about? dude is straight American. nothing but.
He's Nigerian too so do your research before you come in here with some nonsense.
His daddy is Nigerian!!! He spent years in Nigeria! Check it out!!!
Naomi Amu he embraces his father's culture, you are where you are born.

😂😂😂
+Missy L. FINISH HIM!!!!!!! (in my mortal combat voice)

Jidenna for President!
He is the epiphany of what a man is suppose to be
*epitome
but yeah, I hope a lot of young boys are paying attention.
I don't want my best dressed day in a casket
*epitome but true statement
Candie Brown What's an epitome?
Brandon Ward google it lol
Brandon Ward an example
Jidenna is an Inspirational Genius!

+Kate Lynn what's or new channel
+Kate Lynn agreed...it was great playing his mother on this video. He was really humble...
Some one thought I played the baby mama...shows how much people actually listen to the words...and pay attention to the message in it....

You got this chief!
remember your roots. Dont do drugs. Help others.
Whew!! Don’t stop 💨 🙌🏽🙌🏽
If that is the truth then soldier I salute.
🦁
This guys just wants to make you beat your chest and stand up.. inspires something in you, and if he dont then you aint catching thw words !
This is the kind of artist that deserves mad support. Intelligent, meaningful and dope. Instead we get people like Kodak Black and Lil Yachty stuffed down our collective throats. Support real Hip Hop.
Matthew Smith Totally Agree!!
Yes indeed!
I agree.

No it’s all about j cole,Kendrick and chance the rapper
"I ain't even said a word but my suit bespoke." Bars.

LONG LIFE THE CHIEF!
Labrinth hits the same way...I'm glad euphoria helped bring him out more...these two deserve megastardom
sad that he ain't gonna get much exposure on the level of Classic Man because he raps about positive shit and building his people up instead of turning up on lean, xanxs, pills, and usual nigga shit. I do know one thing for sure that he needs to stop being slept on.
wanttocommentify The fact that you're asking that makes me believe either you're being sarcastic or an idiot...
lol that was funny. dude is half black and half white.
When you mix white and black paint, do you get black paint? No, you get grey. Lol.
Am pretty sure his Nigerian father didn't rape his Scandinavian mother
Lol you're quite dumb. Pop is the way to go, it definitely makes more money than songs about drugs.
"When ur father's enemies try to bury you,while the royal family tries to marry you" that Naija's🇳🇬 stuff right there.
Fact
As in! I was feeling him on that line.
I JUST DEEPED IT.
Michael Obinna lol when I saw ur comment I literally heard that at the same time lol
he tells stories... real hip-hop
"When your father's enemies try to bury you and the royal family's trying to marry you..." 😓 I don't even know where to start to unpack this
Boy got bars
he's soo slept on
True
and it's sad. brainwashed society
So true.
What's that mean?
+Melissa Castillo he's speaking the truth but people are just ignoring him, we are the lucky few who see it
I love this guy he's so underrated you dont have to be singing about big ass and shit i actually respect this dude
Good singer
Stamps he doesn’t talk bullshit like all the other rappers
I agree with you
Lol 😁 🙄 😏 😁
this generation doesn't deserve jidenna!!
Jana Nicolas amen
Jana Nicolas This generation definitely does need it...... They need to differentiate the real from the fake, this man is the TRUTH!
No, but they need him.
yall back at it again with the " this generation" bs
Yes we do deserve jidenna
“Stand when I speak nigga fix your posture”-that’s real boss talk.
Jidenna's potential is scary. And his current work is already amazing.
Jidenna consciousness is like a breath of fresh air to music period......music for the wolves not the sheep #ya2sabes
Roberto Esquivel Amen -a fellow wolf
Well said👍
So true
Shit i'm about to head out to Nigeria to get on Jidenna's level of swagger.
Jidenna he’s one realest hip pop who’s not so mainstream.Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
hurts me so much he aint getting the recognition he deserves

I know...mama bear role too...lol he is getting something...better then nothing...wish I had 4Million viewers...
How was this man not included on the Black Panther album ...
How was he not in Black Panther?
He's too real
It was his choice. He was working on his own album but did shoutout Wakanda in his “Tribe” song.
Hopefully his shit will be on BP2
Dear God,
Thank you for Jidenna.
#LongLiveTheChief
Please come back !
Feel Like this should've been on Black Panther's soundtrack 🤷🏾
totally agree
For real, they could've had a wayyyy better and actually meaningful songs on the track.
Agree
Co-sign So many Pro-Afro songs could have been on that sound track
Yessssssss
Yass My beautiful proudly Naija brother A Chief does not run...check the stats.....another great classic
Jidenna look like a president finally took on a musical career
LOL
hahaha he's serious abt being serious love him
All presidents are quite old, this nigga in the video doesn't look like a president at all.

on some nerd shit I'd like to see this dude do a song for Black Panther when that movie comes out.
nerd shit? foh are you implying anyone that can read is a nerd?
Prince Vegeta Nah... Some people just think comic books are for nerds and bringing up a comic book movie on this song is nerdy.
+Joseph Moore you're lost bro. Most people know who the black panther is now.
How about him doing one Long Live the Chief for an episode of Luke Cage?
yeah that would be cool. especially if he sang it "at" cottonmouth in Harlem's paradise
Dude this guy worked as a teacher, just imagine being one of his students from back in the day
wish we had more out here like him.

NF?? Way better than jidenna in terms of lyrcism. I like both
his lyrics got me thinking about my life
Best line ever “You in my house acting too free though”. That’s exactly how they feel about us smh. Should’ve left us over there how bout that?
Long live Jidena. Very humble man have shake hands with him on June 30th june 2017 he was in Kenya but have never shake hands with our Kenya local artists.
kipyegon ruto Word they should learn to be humble 😂😂👍
Why isn't Jidenna bigger than what he should be? Like this dude is extremely underrated and incredibly creative and talented. Y
I saw him in concert recently. This song was the opening and if you think he sounds amazing in videos he's 10x more so live!
Really? I wish I could see him live. All I see is youtube videos.
Chief never run, never!
Chiefy, chiefy in a new chief cloak
I ain't even said a word, but my suit bespoke
Means a custom made suit
Jidennas music opens up a side of me that makes me feel like a modafucken boss. His persona is contagious.
saame
a-fucking-men
Shut up all y'all stupid
I tried to give it to u tonight but I didn't want it 😂😂😂😂🖕🏾
exactly!
I think the weirdest part if this video was seeing jidenna in a white t shirt
Yep, Lol.
Yea that was weird
Lmao true
it was super weird
Will Harris Good thing it's not a fez
I just love how Jidenna depicts the Igbo culture in his works. I love this dude...keep up the good work!!!!!
🤗
"Chiefy chiefy in a new chief cloak...I aint even said a word but my suit bespoke"
For me, the line of the track right there.

This song gives me chills. Strong song, strong artist. I love it!

LOVE this #N8V❤
Every record I've heard is a HIT! 🔥
nahh.... 'a little bit more' wasn't...
Other than that one errthin is DOPE
lol, yet a little bit more has more views than every other song but classic man.
Little bit more is really big in Africa
Been listening to this for hours, and each time he says "fix your posture", i remember to fix mine and get my back straight hahahahahah
No rumble rap! Love him!
A Song With An Actual Message, No Half Naked Women Walking Around, Not An Arsenal Of Guns In Sight, And I Can Understand What Is Being Said......Man, So This Is What The Right Side Of RUclips Sounds Like.
That isnt anything rare, you just have to turn away from radio. There are so many intelligent rappers with a message to spread.
DJHeroMasta ik right I feel good about this music then any other rapper beside Kendrick and Tupac they are good
songs from 2009 have that kind of vibe...
This is what art sounds like. A message.
He's tooooooo damn good👏I'm not even sure if being this good is allowed
This man is WAAAY ahead of his time and 2 generations too late! MUCH RESPECT! #longlivethechief
Jidennaaa is highly underatted
This song is so inspiring
One of the most unique artists today strongly ignored by the ones who need to hear his voice. We need to push Jidenna to the masses! He's an incredible performer.
Dudes one of the deepest artist in the industry hope he influences mainstream change to be like him
Years later, I'm back for another listen... Yes!! Way u at classic man?? This a hit and a classic, powerful, authority, chief stance!!
It's mad crazy seeing Jidenna in something other than a suit 😂
But for real, this album HAS to drop, man. I feel like it's time and becoming past due. Hit after hit. Hoping that the album rolls out the right way.
Everything else aside, that suit is HAAARD, yo. And I love his continuation of embodying of African culture - great to see that incorporation.
Yes...I love how he embraces his "Africanness". Btw, I also cringed when I saw him in the t-shirt & snapback😂
So great, right? And yeah, that shit
threw/caught me off guard 😂
Jidenna attended Stanford University 8 years ago so it´s no surprise that he wears a suit.
Music is not hard or soft. Go learn something about music.
yess
Seriously in love with the way he Portrays women in his videos "Every woman on my team is a top General"
Jidenna + Janelle I
Jidenna is 100% going to blow, just when.... we don't know but ama keep supporting you till then.
that just went from bad to super cool you’re the best singer I’ve ever listen to
