Hits of nostalgia, when I was a kid my Mom and older sister would have this on the tv, I really didn’t like hip hop at the time but after so many years my older sister passed and this song throws me back when it felt when we were a family
This is how much of an influence Saukrates and k-os has on Toronto music to this day; Saukrates introduced Drake to 40. And K-os had a remix contest for his songs and he liked Illangelos remix so much he put it on his mixtape which got Illangelos name out and caught the Weeknds attention. Crazy.
I’ve been searching for this song for so long. AGHHHHHH finally . The melody been in my head for years and I knew It was a Canadian artist since I heard it on the radio . Feeling amazing right now 😅 Wave of nostalgia
Criminally underheard/underrated, this man is a straight-up genius -- his creativity and originality make him one of the handful of vital artists working in hiphop today, along with Kanye, The Roots, and fellow Canadians K'naan and Shad -- and head and shoulders above most of the better known crop (crap?)...
a lot of people make good music but k-os is one of the few who actually knows who he is. after the last time i listened to him 3-5 years ago ( i know thats bad lol) he still has the exact taste in music even though theres been so many changes. this guy is really amazing
This song is very clever. Each of the verses are well done and Saukrates does a great job on the hook. I think its a very clever sample that fits well within the context of the song. Well done.
+Akbar you should check out yardi black aka mykill darcshyne.. canadian fire i think.. dudes been killing it for canada and they dont even know. hes big out here in europe..
shit i like the end. K-os is who he is for literally creating the blend between different genres to make real music and not just a category, but shit, e knows how to spit and does so every now and then.
luke brown Noo. This song, this video, a few years ago had the title: I wish I knew with Natalie Portman but they changed like 3 years later, for no goddamn reason, to On the run
He said In a Interview that he was gonna name is "on the run" but he wanted it to be different then the most obvious, but he was out of out of ideas of what to name it other than "on the run", so he just named it the first thing that popped up in his head.
11 years later, still listening to this gem.
Been my favorite song since I was in elementary school
Ditto. My fav k-os track
Same .
Love this
3am in 2024 here vibin

This song will be a Academy Award winning song guaranteed come next years April 2022 Academy Awards Ceremony in Beverly Hills Los Angeles CA
This song is very clever. Each of the verses are well done and Saukrates does a great job on the hook. I think its a very clever sample that fits well within the context of the song. Well done.
Not Canadian but Kos and Saukrates always been A1. Highly slept on in the US.
Oh Fuck, That´s melody ,California - Phantom Planet? holy shit hahaha
Matheus Rosendo so did phantom steal it or kos?

3:18 that intergalactic beat at the end
Yooooooo I saw this music video on like much music when it just came out and I’ve been looking for this song since. I can’t believe I found it
The gas station part was shot in one of the towns I grew up in. I remember going to the general store in the back;p

This was song of the year for me. Should have been in every stereo system in every low ride car in the world.

This was way after mtv was good lol
K-OS, KNAAN, Nuttin but strings, the Roots.....all good music.
Riz Mahdi!
Still blasting this in 2k19
How is this the "Official Music Video" with the wrong title of the song? Should be titled 'I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman'
K-OS & Saukrates.... Rap Legends... Thank God for Canadian Rap!
I wish i Knew Natalie Portman
This guy gets me
I wish I knew her too!
back to middleschool
{HIndspuIH} it's the actual name of the song
Thank you
One of most underrated Canadian Gem!💫🕳🙏🏽
Should put "K- OS ft. Saukrates & Nelly Furtado" !!! Nelly also participate !
Tommorow this video will be 10 years old... wow
2022 anyone?
Yes sir ! im still on the run !
Such a Gem 🙏🏻
Sold my '72 Chevelle Sedan. Needed this Song AND! the Video to ease it a bit 😅
People who know this song as I wish I knew Natalie portman>>>the yucko who put this on here as on the run official video smh
true rap talent..kos is a hero
The actual title is "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman"
Beat is FEROCIOUS! INCREDIBLE joint! #RealHipHopIsStillBeautiful!
Who's watching in 2016?
Bib Ty watching in 2017
Quality artist. Love from the UK
wait so is the song called "on the run" or "i wish i knew natalie portman"?
I know it as "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman" ... That's what I typed in to get this as the second video in the list lol...
i think its called i wish i knew Natalie Portman but on this version unlike the other videos you can hear the harmonica at the end. it sounds so dope!
luke brown Noo. This song, this video, a few years ago had the title: I wish I knew with Natalie Portman
but they changed like 3 years later, for no goddamn reason, to On the run
Apparently it was originally a saukrates and nelly furtado track called on the run.
Man this is a good song .
why does he wish he knew natalie portman?
Don't u?
He said In a Interview that he was gonna name is "on the run" but he wanted it to be different then the most obvious, but he was out of out of ideas of what to name it other than "on the run", so he just named it the first thing that popped up in his head.
@3:19 would be a sick song ON ITS OWN. Having it at the end of this one is just a huge shawg.
I wish I knew Natalie Portman..
seriously, they need to fix the title
always bumpin this
This is a classic tune.K-OS is a genius!
Sweet thank you so much! I'll have to go by and check it out.
The end is dope as hell. Canadians be drooping some cool ass shit.
OK< I never even heard of K-OS until now! THANK GOD I@VE HEARD THIS SONG!!!!!!
et dire que cete musique est de 2009 peut etre plus vielle, c'est trop cool de ressortir des vieux titre de la tombe ^^
achei q era só eu.. toh aki por causa d'ele tbm.. Vlw Chorão!
same beat from Phantom Planet's "California" song. Love K-os. I've been listening to him since 2004. "Dirty Water" is still my favorite.
Three years and its still my favorite song :)
🔥forgot how much this song slaps ✨
the rap at the end is so awesome!!
K-OS brings SUBSTANCE back to Hip-Hop!!! Much LOVE
almost a million views. K-os you movin up brudda!
