every single blue scholars song is a classic. i cannot believe how good they are, and how little recognition they get. i haven't met one other person who has known who they are. to me, they are the best thing in music. the beats are on a whole other level, beyond amazing; and the raps are pure poetry of pure truth.
all the way from cairo, egypt i had this song on my ipod during the egyptian protests, can relate so much to this!!! i love blue scholars!!! true hip hop, power to the people!
Same dude! Except I'm 27 now. I agree, still great. Wish they would release more now, or even better released more back then... but great stuff nonetheless
I started listening to these guys in summer of 2012 before my senior year of high school. Been a fan since and it’s crazy because now I’m 29 and the lyrics are so much more relevant than I used to think!
Rediscovering music is a great feeling. This was on replay for me 10 years ago. It seems I haven't listened to it for a good 5 years at least until now...
In my opinion, THEIR BEST!!! Listen to it even every week...since my man 2007 showed me their album BAYANI....puhh!!!! For me ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER MADE and this is one of the best tracks ever...... IN MY OPINION ;)
Search Battle in Seattle. 50,000 is the number of people in the streets of Seattle protesting the WTO meeting promoting globalization on November 30th of 1999. There were 257 arrests, even though people had gathered to protest peacefully. This song is deep, especially if you were there :)
Even if you weren't there, you're old enough to remember it. Their music has this unexplainable sense of something you can relate to in one way or another.
Seattle has become a breath of fresh air to the underground scene. Blue scholars and common market, in my opinion, have produced the most original and appealing rap sound in a long time. A long time hip hop fan will appreciate what is coming out of Seattle/Northwest. Dope beats + intelligent rhymes = a can't sleep album. Much respect to the Scholars!
Wow, did my best memories get erased? How did I forget this song until today? However, I got so lucky to know it and the other underground artists of Minneapolis/St Paul I am forever grateful for that. If nothing else.
I respect Blue Scholars because they play real hip hop. It's nothing like Lil Wayne or other mainstream "hip hop" artists. Their songs have such strong meanings expressed through poetry and simple, but effective, instrumentals. You don't find many artists like the Blue Scholars, and I am thankful I found such inspirational artists.
Seattle changed the world on this day. No joke, this was the turning point. Everyone recognized it and they've been on the run and losing ground ever since. Don't let up. We keep it up and we'll finish what they started there.
astrosoup True, but Seattle doesn't deserve 100% of the credit. The 50,000 protestors came from all across the country. Look at it this way: The people changed the world on this day.
+crazymanjonchin I don't know bout that...... the towers got bombed over 5 years before the WTO riots...... and Bin Laden has been threatening the US since the late 80's after the CIA trained him and the early Taliban in Afghanistan to fight Russia
Ason Unique we created em just so we can invade and take gold and oil think about this shit ppl g.o.d gold oil diamonds our government controls us and the ppl that own all these things are the ones that's run our bank rothschild is a big fill that's been running the show in the early 1800 he started the bank in 1760
this shit is beautiful. this song was playing in my head ALL day, and I couldn't concentrate in class or have a conversation with anyone.. I wish I could just sit in my room all day and listen to hip hop allllll day every day. that'd be nice. so much love for blue scholars, long live DOPE HIP HOP
I cant even begin to show my respect for these guys. I have literally listened to this song no less then seven times a day for the past two weeks. Not even close to being sick of it. This is quality music. right here. unlike other rap songs... this is why im hot has nothing on 50 thousand deep. Its inspirational. goosebumps everytime.
IMF still fucking shit up! Look at El Salvatore's adoption of Bitcoin and how IMF threatened to suppress their humanitarian aid. This song ages so well. Thank you for this all time classic!
Bruh I was in Houston when it was 60,000 deep and this was the first song I thought of that day. Lyrics in this song gave me goosebumps because it was the exact same shit.
Floyd was a false profit for the masses that blame others for their problems.. The verse that talked about how it was the pigs that started it? You wouldn't know about George Floyd if they didn't want you to get pissy over it.
I had that time to i didnt understood the lyrics or the whole content, but i always felt that strong STNAD UP vibe: "50 thousand deep and it sounds like thunder when our feet pound streets" This song truly never gets old and even better. Since years one of my favourite (REPEAT?! ;) tracks(even album). Keep a good attitude folks one
Man blazed it to this back in the days where my parents were living with me. Playing this song on is making me feel all kinds of things as you can imagine
normally I can't stand rap at all, but I like this. It has real meaning in the lyrics. It connects with old school rap in that it means something lyrically. I guess rap is like a lot of music. You have to look to the lesser known and underground artists to truly get a sense of what the genre should sound like.

p r i m o
Blue Schlors sam lachow & Knomads are the best Seattle rappers.
ryan loy Geo from Blue Scholars is one of the best in the world, if not.

I’ve been listening to this since my freshman year of high school... I’m 28 now. Still great
Same dude! Except I'm 27 now. I agree, still great. Wish they would release more now, or even better released more back then... but great stuff nonetheless
you remember the TI and blue scholar mix of the bartender? icant find it anywhere
It was a mashup?
I'm replying to myself 4 years later. In a different country, living a different life but 50 thousand deep its still is a stone cold classic
I started listening to these guys in summer of 2012 before my senior year of high school. Been a fan since and it’s crazy because now I’m 29 and the lyrics are so much more relevant than I used to think!
2020 never felt so real! This song hits home. Thank you hip hop!! Thank you Blue Scholars and Common Market, 10yrs later.....& Still Listening!!🎧🎧🎧
It's not meant for Trumpets you moron it was the occupy wallstreet movement. Fuck your fascist garbage.
Riots in Seattle happening right now made me come back to this song
Still rocking this song in 2016!!

Rediscovering music is a great feeling. This was on replay for me 10 years ago. It seems I haven't listened to it for a good 5 years at least until now...
Damn bro. This brings me back. It’s so real and raw. Man. You guys will never know how much you got me through. Thank you.

I can't even begin to express how deeply I love this song
We're doin it again buds.
10 plus years old and its still soooo good!
Wow, did my best memories get erased? How did I forget this song until today? However, I got so lucky to know it and the other underground artists of Minneapolis/St Paul I am forever grateful for that. If nothing else.
One of the best hip hop beats/instrumentals/whatever you call it i've heard recently. So gooooooooood

This could be written about the George Floyd protests, shit don't change, big ups Geo
Bruh I was in Houston when it was 60,000 deep and this was the first song I thought of that day. Lyrics in this song gave me goosebumps because it was the exact same shit.
Floyd was a false profit for the masses that blame others for their problems..
The verse that talked about how it was the pigs that started it? You wouldn't know about George Floyd if they didn't want you to get pissy over it.
This brings back nothing but good memories. I miss these guys for real.
The riots in Minneapolis this week reminded me of this song, it hits so much harder now being this close to home. RIP George Floyd.
They call it a riot, I call it an uprising!
I had that time to i didnt understood the lyrics or the whole content, but i always felt that strong STNAD UP vibe: "50 thousand deep and it sounds like thunder when our feet pound streets"
This song truly never gets old and even better. Since years one of my favourite (REPEAT?! ;) tracks(even album).
