I spent the first part of my childhood in Michigan. I remember my brother showing me this song when I was 5, and that’s about it. T-Baby singing about murkin’ and doing time is one of my earliest memories. Whenever I remember this song, I feel a rush as I’m transported back to a simpler time, a time before I was aware that guns were used for anything but hunting deer. “It’s So Cold in the D” is a part of my subconscious, a part of my psyche. I sometimes have visions of dying in a hospital bed, many decades later, my mind ravaged by dementia and time. I picture my very last moments on this earth, surrounded by family members I do not recognize. Then, in the back of my mind, I hear this song, and I know I recognize it. As my eyes close and my breathing slows to a stop, the last image to grace my mind is the woman in the jean jacket dancing. This song is now a part of me. I hate and love the song, just as I hate and love myself.
A masterpiece in postmodern urban music. The woman in the denim jacket's insistence on dancing to her own melody demonstrates Detroit's can do attitude and refusal to back down, no matter the odds. The nuance and depth of this modern day Greek tragedy has you wondering if it's really cold in the D or if the cold is within our hearts.
Not "her insistence on dancing to her own melody"!! When I tell you, I fell out several times!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but this is a deep comment, and I absolutely Loved this when it went viral!! Truly!! 🔥❤💯
Wonderful song and beautiful poetry. Sang this to my dying wife on her deathbed. I will miss her forever but she's in a wonderful place. Thank you T-Baby for helping me cope with the loss through your music. Rest In Peace Judith Mary Lester
I really needed to see this throwback today. The way the girl in the jean jacket is doing it for the 99’s and the 2000’s while this is supposed to be a sad song sends me every single time. This needs to be in the African American History museum 😂
From the terrible studio engineering to the weird visual team and videographer, this song will forever be a CLASSIC. 👏🏾 The story and societal impact of the D will forever be recognized 🙏🏿 #ripmason
Kay Veggies I got a beat that could leave you. Promise when when we're done you won't be able to stand straight, yet alone walk right for over a month. Guarantee your not going to be shit right for a year too.
I'm back here in 2023, just proves its standing the test of time. People used to make fun of this, but now after all the bullshit we all been through these last few years you realize T-Baby was actually ahead of her time speaking from the heart, True to herself and her art. It makes me think of all the people I love that I miss, RIP to all the loved ones we all lost over the years.
This comment right here. This is what we do here in America. We take something/someone that’s obviously so terrible and lacks any meaningful amount of talent and we put it on a pedestal. This video survived cause these people are idiots and it’s hilarious
@@shanedangerssame it was a Laughing joke back then but now we listening to the real point and lyrics hit different maturity and life changes everything I was 16 when I first seen this now I'm 26 it's a different story! The production still makes me mad and laugh but lyrics make you think! Like man!
Beavis and Butthead put me on to this song. At about :26 in even Butthead was like "Uhh, I think that chick in the back is dancing to a different song." 😂😂
This song brings me joy. I realize there's a level of humor to its reception in some ways, because there's very much an unpolished feel to the video and song, and it's full of imperfections or "flaws" big budget hits don't have. But the video and song are extremely human. So raw. The chorus is also incredible. I don't know man, sometimes stuff just works when it doesn't seem like it's supposed to. I hope she's still getting paid off this song.
Hahaha holy crap. This song has lived rent free in my head for at least a decade. I sing it in my head whenever someone says “damn, it’s so cold”. Showed my work partner this song today, never thought I’d see frikkin MacLethal comment 6 days ago. What’s up man 🤘🏻
Things will thaw eventually, but the Universe is a cold void of a place. You are the heat, and when you go away, all you can hope for is that you passed your heat on, to someone else. It is the others that carry you.... wow... over 10 million, and in the faces of everyone who made fun o you. I wish I was so strong. I took all my stuff down when they laughed at me. Good work! Rise Up! & CHEERS!!! ~Sean of Detroit
T baby is my hero. I hope she found the peace she’s looking for. I wonder if it’s still cold in the “d”. I really hope she would come to concert one day.
This really has a relevant message #1- It IS rather cold in the D and #2- How the fuck DO we supposed to keep peace? These are two burning and pertinent questions for this day and age, just as urgent and meaningful now as the day they were written.
I think what she is really saying here is how do we ‘pose to’, or rather ‘propose to’ ... or further, how do we as humanity ‘propose the amendment’ to keep, or maintain, peaceful relations amidst the very substantial drawbacks influencing our society. One could conclude she shortened this concept to fit the brief duration of the chorus’ second line, so as to function properly within the infrastructure of the song in its entirety.
This is a song that has got to be for laughs 😂😂😂 I previously said that it may be real and have purpose but that doesn't give them the right to sing it or any other song for that matter lol They are tone deaf and off key and can't even sing the words together lmao Maybe they were bored and decided to do this for fun but it's really a bust on their end in my opinion haha

It always blows my mind how insanely offbeat she gets at 2:20. It makes the rest of the song seem relatively on beat. The funny thing is I unironically think the hook is actually really good
I discovered this song while working in Detroit on a VH1 reality show (Wait till next year) back in 2011, my detroit crew members put me on...I come back every year to re-watch...
This fantastic piece of outsider music has won the hearts of millions around the world. I recently went to the D and it was indeed quite cold. Rest in peace, Mason.
Just shared this to my boyfriend cause he said he never heard it, gasp 😱. I let the commercials roll through cause I really hope she’s making money off this, it’s a classic!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Me and my sister been looking for this song since 2005😂😂😂😂😂. I just sent it to her! She gonna act like a kid at xmas 😂😂😂😂😂😂..we use to use these lyrics to get on our momma's nerve..
some bout how niggas used to move shii from the bay to Detroit n this nigga brought 2short’s music to the d so the Bay Area style got mixed back n forth so that’s why the two sound alike
It was cold tonight on the way from the car to the house and I started singing this tune and my bf asked “what the hell is the D?” I am so happy this is still here 14 years later and even happier that I got to expose someone to this masterpiece for their first time tonight. T-baby lives on.
it's true, she appears after you say "It's So Cold In The D" near a steaming pothole three times on a cold night in the D, legend says she even appears right then and there!
This should be stored in the National Recording Registry. They're an archive that stores music and film that is "culturally, aesthetically, or historically significant". So I nominate THIS!
i was just thinking about this! in hindsight i hope she laughed her virality off and didn't feel too bad at everyone laughing at her trying to mourn her friend.
Halfway through, she was like, “F*ck this beat… These bars gon go wherever I feel like putting em.” 😂
Dead 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
It was already over as soon as she started 😂
Switched to that birdman flow real quick😂😭
To this day I still randomly start singing "it's so cooooooooold in the D"
Me too caught myself today randomly
I sing that line randomly when I’m cold lol
Same here, northern MI colder
It will never stop. Lol
Just brought me here. I was standing in my kitchen & randomly start singing this. I’m 29 btw.
I start singing this when my fiance and I take our dogs out walking during the winter. The fact she hasn't left me yet is incredible.

A masterpiece in postmodern urban music. The woman in the denim jacket's insistence on dancing to her own melody demonstrates Detroit's can do attitude and refusal to back down, no matter the odds.

The message is that It's cold within our hearts and our minds. But not colder than the D.

That hook comes in like an unexpected gust of wind that blows a wig off.
The most underrated comment on this thread😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment! 😩😩😂😂 yo ass crazy asf !
It just bullies its way into the song whether the verse is over or not.
It's a weave brother..lol
I read this as soon and the first verse ended 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like this video got more and more unorganized as it progressed
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
I am 100% positive it did.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Get em T BABYYYYYYYYYY

It definitely did.. even the transition to the hook on the 2nd verse. Like, wtf is going on? Lol
Wonderful song and beautiful poetry. Sang this to my dying wife on her deathbed. I will miss her forever but she's in a wonderful place. Thank you T-Baby for helping me cope with the loss through your music. Rest In Peace Judith Mary Lester

LYRICS:
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
Mason, he was like a brother to me
Shit we all use slang
blaze up a tree
Playin drinking games and shit
Always into big things and shit
It was gettin' wicked and shit
And all we did was just kicking the shit
But someone took his life,
I couldn't believe it
I'm havin' memories of what we used to do But now he's gone, can't do what we do
You know we only done it for the fucked a crew
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
I have a vision of how we used to hang and bang
It was never no complaining Being in the D is bad for your health
How the fuck do you 'pose to stack of papers
When these niggas want your wealth
It's hard in the D when you tryin' to keep peace
Now you can rest, my nigga
You don't have to worry about those sass niggas tryin to protest, cuz that was givin' you stress
We know you was with ridey That's why the niggas try this
I know you're in a better place now It's sad to see my nigga gone to that better place now
I know your mom and family's goin' through Somethin
They'll be OK All real niggas gone, and the worms are left
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind? Murkin' and doin' time
We all were together It was Mason, rest in peace
To you big baby And/or T baby
Tyrone and the Rhyme, Baby Waree Mo Gah, C.O., Ray Ray, rest in Peace
To my nigga Ray Ray Mika, Eeza, Jay, Vito, Kaneesha
Can you get that nigga Sweet Pea And everybody else from the block
Anybody fucks with us
We always stab the cock
Mason 1981 - 2002, we'll see you again We've got much love for you my baby
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time
It's so cold in the D
How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
What's all on a nigga's mind?
Murkin' and doin' time, it's so
Nice
Thanks man 👍

It always blows my mind how insanely offbeat she gets at 2:20. It makes the rest of the song seem relatively on beat. The funny thing is I unironically think the hook is actually really good
"how the fuck do we posed to keep peace" is only good in the most ironic possible way
you actually made it to 2:20 lol

+TRAPGOD ™ yeah that's why I put it in quotations
Why was the one girl in the denim jacket getting it while they're singing about their friend that passed away 😂😩
J-quan she probably killed his ass.
J-quan
Like "Oww, Oww, heeeey"
J-quan Girl in the denim jacket is hot.
That girl must be jamming to a different song in the background
Evan Is Dead lmaoooo like why is she dancing when the song is supposed to be sad 😂
Like she smiling and dancing and shit.
ms. angelιqυe 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reusing the line from Beavis and Butthead? Lol
Yeah; she's probably jamming to a GOOD song rather than this crap.
Forget Eminem, T Baby is the best rapper from Detroit.
This is one of the most important artistic works of the 21st century.
Agreed. If NASA ever sends another of those one of those probes out to space with a golden vinyl onboard, this should be the first track on there.
I grew up in Detroit and can confirm that it's fuckin hard to posed to keep peace.
lmfao
LOL
Can confirm as well, it's so cold in the D
Nuclear
Mh uh
I'll bet, what with all that murkin' and doin' time
Budget: two dime bags
U wrong for this. Lord forgive me for laughing.
😂😂😂😂😂
2? More like 1/2 a dime bag and a hand job......lol
Bruh that's all u need tho 4 a hit
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
I discovered this song while working in Detroit on a VH1 reality show (Wait till next year) back in 2011, my detroit crew members put me on...I come back every year to re-watch...
Who bumpin this in 2020
ME NIGGGA
Me
Boii!! Every winter ❄
Everyone that appreciates good music..
Thanks to Beavis and Butthead, I found it about this
This fantastic piece of outsider music has won the hearts of millions around the world. I recently went to the D and it was indeed quite cold. Rest in peace, Mason.
As a middle aged white dude from a small town in north Texas, I can totally relate to this jam. And by that, I mean I have no rhythm, either.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ticket P1?
😂😂😂👉🏻classic
Savage as fuck lol
😭🤣🤣🤣
Just shared this to my boyfriend cause he said he never heard it, gasp 😱. I let the commercials roll through cause I really hope she’s making money off this, it’s a classic!! 👏🏾👏🏾
T baby is so talented. She even raps outside the beat
Amibeing1717 😂😂😂

I heard this song over a decade ago and I swear to god, once a week I think to myself, “How tf do we posta keep peace?”
😂😂😂😂
Me and my sister been looking for this song since 2005😂😂😂😂😂. I just sent it to her! She gonna act like a kid at xmas 😂😂😂😂😂😂..we use to use these lyrics to get on our momma's nerve..
14yrs later and I'm still screaming IT'S SO COLD IN THE D!!!!!! ALL TIME FAVORITE! SHOUTOUT TO T BABY!!!
It’s really sad how she lists all her friends who passed. All BS aside, RIP tho.
Yes it is really sad. I feel bad for all of those that lost their lives.
I hope nobody writes this kind of shit about me after I am dead.
@Chad Wilkins what???
Pooky n ray ray were upstanding members of the community!!!they got the stereo outta my car fast
Seriously 🙏
And how many years has this been out? Ask her to give props to all her dead friends now. Jan 2021.
T Baby should have got a grammy for this.
Funny, her Grammy told her the very same thing.
We should boycott the grammys because she didn't get nominated
I wish a Detroit rapper would sample this or redo it lol. This shit a classic
I don’t think Eminem could make this 🔥
G Mac cash would
babytron did it for like thirty secs
no she needs to redo
I'm dying 😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 what is this??!?!? The background people got me in tears
So this is where Blue face got his flow 😂😂😂
Hulkster96 😂
DEAD ASS! I be saying that, too😂😂😂
Lol
some bout how niggas used to move shii from the bay to Detroit n this nigga brought 2short’s music to the d so the Bay Area style got mixed back n forth so that’s why the two sound alike
They got betta bars tho
The real talent in the video is those in the back. It's amazing how they kept straight faces. I'd laugh in every single shot no joke
0:37 oops😭😭😭😭😭
Loool you just know she's thinking "this bitch cannot be foreal" 😂😂😂
😭😭😭
Damn girl that cold in the D
Diarra from Detroit brought me back to this forgotten gem 💎. Boy was it a time to be alive...😂
Damn! I think she named everybody in the whole damn cemetery.
David Lewis Damn bro it's 1am and you got me waking the whole house up!
Cuz she prob got ran by the whole D
😂 LMAO booyyyy you ain't even lying
Lmaooooo!
BWAHHHHHHH
If you could watch TV in GTA: San Andreas, this would be on it.
TV in San Andreas would be sick
Gobbersmack Dude!!! LoL. so true!
You are correct Gobbersmack This would be that TV show when you watching TV at ya crib
Lmfaooo
Gobbersmack brother

Rebel Provost HAHAHAHHAHA YO
Rebel Provost more like 2 songs for the price of none
I thought it was a shitty chopped and screwed part
🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
shes saying something like "when niggas are testing you its stress, so throw testes at them. and then the worms".
I’m speaking Directly to you, algorithm. I need more of this in my life. So Don’t let me Down.
Is this available on iTunes?
Omg Alex
As long as you realize how cold the "D" is, it will be
Yes it is btw I'm a huge fan
Omg!!!!! Alx!!!!!! I love you
Yes it's on tunes 😂
I hope she is doing well
Facts!
If she isn't active on Twitter she's probably in jail or dead.
God bless you
Same
@@OdaSwifteye what an ignorant and racist shit to say on a video about a woman promoting peace, hope a big black guy punches the shit out of you
For real though, this shit is kinda sad. She lost alot of friends....
I know...its awful
After they saw this song ?
Sock Cucka how would you know they were in gangs???
I like the artistic use of the phrase "and shit" to rhyme the lyrics.
Classic. All jokes aside, it's sad they lost their friends/loved ones. Very tragic. RIP to them all🙏🏾
I was thinking the same thing 😢
To gang violence .. they chooses that life
@@thomasandrew1575 LOL no. They literally explain it in the video. There wasn't any gang violence involved.
What makes you think their friends died in a song about bad weather conditions? 🌧️
Ray Ray was selling crack and got shot
It was cold tonight on the way from the car to the house and I started singing this tune and my bf asked “what the hell is the D?” I am so happy this is still here 14 years later and even happier that I got to expose someone to this masterpiece for their first time tonight. T-baby lives on.
The very definition of soul. Long live T-baby
Yooo this literally JUST happened like word for word and pretty sure my fiancee is going to leave me now 😂
all jokes aside, this production is a mess. but the song itself is kinda depressing, yall im sad
wdym this beat bangggs
Yeah, especially when they started showing the dead kids and some people.
stay positive.
the beat is actually hard, compared to a lot of other shit esp nowadays lol
Yeah, no one knows what's going on in this 🌎, esp nowadays.
No one has esp nowadays, Psychic Friends Network was shut down.... 🤔
I'm an 80 year old hip hop fan and seeing this brings tears to my eyes
probably one of the most iconic songs of all time
phimosis jones 😂
True dat.
It defined a generation
Legend has it. They can still be seen walking through the cemetery on cold nights in the D.
it's true, she appears after you say "It's So Cold In The D" near a steaming pothole three times on a cold night in the D, legend says she even appears right then and there!
Funny as fuck
That actually sounds like a scary movie.
😂😂😂
@@AwkwardBlackGal613 someone get this to Jodan Peele asap
When we are all dead and gone and our civilization is dust, when they find RUclips's servers this video will survive... lol
Like the last cockroach.
I hope this is the only the only proof of human existence one day.
@@OvSpP 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beavis and Butthead sent me
T Baby credited with inventing the 9-bar verse
goolizap hook camera out of nowhere lmao
Funniest comment ever!
FACTS!!!
goolizap 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaooooo
10 years ago today (Jan 3, 2008) this classic was uploaded to youtube.com This put Detroit hip hop on the map
4 Ben Media 😂😂😂
4 Ben Media Facts. Without this T. Grizzly don't exist
oldscorpion13 hell nawl lmfao!!!!
Esham put Detroit on the map, this took the 313 off the map lol.
😂😂😂😭😭😭💀💀💀
This song is a national treasure. It's 2019 and here i am again.
Michael Walker me too
😂😂😂
This should be stored in the National Recording Registry. They're an archive that stores music and film that is "culturally, aesthetically, or historically significant". So I nominate THIS!
International, I'm Dutch and rocking out to this shit my man.
2022 still listening
This song will live Rent free in your mind forever...
I use to laugh at how horrible this is. Now I feel for this girl, she just misses her friend and wanted to pay tribute.
💯
i was just thinking about this! in hindsight i hope she laughed her virality off and didn't feel too bad at everyone laughing at her trying to mourn her friend.
Maybe she sang for them n they went n got themselves killed right after lmao
if u think about it she was the one if not the first detroit artist rapping off beat, she’s actually a pioneer.
It’s still horrible.
3:40 dude was like "man fucc this shit" 😂
Yes!😂😂
Delano Vinci they wasn't paying him enough to stay around that buffoonery 😭😭😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yes he did Lolol...just gave up
msrhdes76 😂😂😂
You can tell the girl in the green jacket is doing her friend a favor and is bored as hell. The girl in the jean jacket, however...
I love how at one point she just gives up singing and just starts talking, then goes back in to the “chorus”
Beavis and Butthead introduced me to this masterpiece 😅😹😹😹😹
Used to laugh at this when I was younger. But this is really a raw piece of art.
