Directed by Jake Osmun and Vic Mensa
Produced by Papi Beatz, Smoko Ono and Knox Fortune
Choreography and Additional Creative Direction by Ian Eastwood
Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE.
In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.

this the vic we took for granted
Til the industry turned him full crazy... sad
you think this is his best song?
Flynn McCabe he never said that
@@josh.romani5345 it was meant to be a question lol
Brooooo
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ART
Rudan !
Duh lol.
Just instantly fell in love by seeing your comment.
+evo seKtor maybe you were joking but if not, did you listen to the song? It's about his life and mistakes and how he's coming clean. He said that he screwed up about that in the song.
+evo seKtor you needa chill man. It's a good song, the incident is out there now, and that's Vic apologizing to himself and her and all that. You're right tho, hitting women isn't good, but the song is in the right. Just listen to the damn song and enjoy it
He had it with this one. This the Vic we needed.
Facts
Factsss 💯💯💯Dude honestly idgaf what anyone says about Vic he will always be one of my favorite Artists
I strongly agree
its kinda sad man
Straight up. Missin this Vic. This brought me up hard in many moments.
“ I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was”
Epic line 🔥
sam cowan he didn’t write it
Jesus
LiamVapes 716 so who did?
Um Jesus
Jesus is the man who saved mankind, his name wasnt even jesus but that's what they wrote in the bible, like the Dan Brown quote "History is always written by the winners" 🙏🏽
I cant stop listening to this song
I've watched the video twice a day since it came out. Such an honest song.
same
same
i listen to this like at least 5 times a day tbh.
some of the lyrics are cheesy AF
Vic mensa has come a long way.
Ayyy Saba profile nice
how long has it been?
Ayyye Saba. One of the most underappreciated artists out there
saba album cover eyyyy
+ThatRandomDude True
Horribly underrated
Where is this version of Vic when we need him the most
TAGO era was dope as fuck
they put him on mk ultra, that's when they gave him the hulmilation case, and cut his hair off.
the storytelling in this song is unreal. Not many can do that shit.
Him and Cole are Gods at doing it!
Listen to his song "That nigga" if you haven't already it's very similar
I Think Tory Lanez and Kendrick are better
Andrew Niculae I feel like Tory is gonna hold the mantle after Drake settles down tbh
Winter You say that but you've probably never heard of Ivan B or Witt Lowry if your going to check them out I recommend Our Time Together by Ivan and Wasted Away by Witt
Vic Mensa finna blow up after this EP and whenever Traffic drops. Dude deserves it, hella nice artist.
vic BEEN blew... where you been?
+samonthecreek not really, he's still behind Chance in terms of buzz
Lol... Couldn't have really "BEEN blew" when literally all he had before this EP is one mixtape, or two if you count traphouse rock, and still hasn't dropped a debut album. Kinda hard to blow up without an album...
was he not more popular before chance? Chance got on cuz of Gambino. Then toooooook off like a rocket.
Vic signed to Roc Nation + Worked with Ye on U Mad + was featured on Wolves AND when removed off wolves, was demanded right back on that bitch. Man worked with Skrillex AND a modeled for Saint Laurent.
I'm thinking he's not gonna BLOW up, but he'll eventually have a much bigger dedicated fan base if he continues to experiment with his sound. Down on My Luck, Innetape, Lose it, Drive Me Crazy.... he's very versatile.
NoirSkyz It's not whether or not he's worked with great artists or if he's signed to a huge label like roc nation, it's just he's still not that known. The dude doesn't even have a debut album out yet. He is going to blow up after Traffic, just watch it happen
Bring my man Vic Mensa back 2020
nah he sucks
No
He’s fucking back!!!!
@@jncobeanie5582 Now how are you gonna say that he sucks when you’re one of his biggest fans! You know your haters are your biggest fans
#VTAPE
The most underrated rapper
The lyrics are bad ass.
he is a good rapper!!
this is what I call real music
your picture is gayyy
he got bars .............. aint no lyrics
hes speaking reality homie. shits a trip
Quite possibly the best song of 2016
This is a song? It's a computer playing a beat and someone talking really fast.
i agree
tell me how this is not a song, he's telling his story of his inner demons. this song is one of the realest things I've heard in a while. so if you got shit to say at least make some kind of since
+Steve Steele What? A song is a musical composition. Doesn't matter if you're using live instruments or a computer, singing or rapping.
Truth
Who keeps going back to this song? I can't help it
Vic's ear for beats plus him laying out every piece of information about his struggles and the trouble he caused others PLUS his trih.phs...this is what makes Vic Mensa's work great and him underrated.
Shout out to everyone here before it hit 500k
💯
+Bang Gang 💯💯
+SandmanCam 💯💯
Omg no way you heard the song before me......damn dog you a real ass nigga fuck outa here with that shit lol if the shit lit and u relate then why does it matter when u heard it?
oh
i graduate high school tomorrow and i straight up learned more in this song than in 13 years of public school 💯🎓
You must have a shitty school system where you live .
+the exposer lmao the whole system is shitty
I love this song but this comment is pretty silly.
EXACTLY
agreed
I love that he held himself accountable for his violent outburst on his ex. He's a real man.
gdbdlk Yeah, because some rappers just cover up or lie!
Andrescia Hooten like xxxtentacion?
@@LILSEMEN-rx3mh yeah, xxxtentacion was great, but he had his baggage that he seemed to avoid, he definitely did alot of charity, but he really would've had to work on himself too, no amount of other good deeds can make up for stuff like that, he was young, could've changed but we won't know. It's always better to act now and sort that stuff out, takes a real man, or person in general to admit they were wrong, no one's perfect and we shouldn't be ashamed of that, but we should always try to have our cards straight just incase the untimely disasters happen💯🤘
I love that Vic went about it this way, growth can only be achieved by accepting what's done, if the blame is always placed then you're forever gonna be stuck there, he owned it, confessed it, and moved on knowing its off his chest and he can better himself based off of those mistakes
Robert Vale bro stop tryna defend X I understand you fell in love with his music but what fans need to understand is u dnt know these rappers these ppl are actors x is a stage name just like every rappers rap name is just a stage name it’s just a persona we dnt know how he reallly was in his everyday life he could’ve been any kinda person behind closed doors there’s leaked phone convos an X sounded so manipulative an was tryna scare Geneva an her friend to drop the charges pay attention 👁
It's spring 2022 and I still come back to this song regularly. I love hearing vic rap about something that is so real and you can tell took real self-reflection and humility. and then the willingness to be vulnerable and the talent to execute this song ❤️❤️❤️
No one song tells what an artist goes thru like this one. Seriously get chills everytime it comes on. This track got me thru a lot of nights
the performance in this video is remarkable as well, no cuts in editing, Vic raw, alone, living out his demons and regrets and come back. I never tire of watching it.
Yeah man. Those nights that feel like all you ever do is lose. You find yourself falling through a pink cloud wind up being the fallout to the wreckage. You're left to contemplate how you got there and you're wishing and wondering if your side is right.
damn this was real as fuckkk... we here before this blows up
??
at the end was that 16 shots
cowboyforlife hell yeah it was
+cowboyforlife ....yup for Laquan McDonald
Half a million views I'd say he already has
As a huge fan of X, Vic is still amazing. Drugs + bipolar disorder is not a good mix. I can see he is a good dude, just crazy at times.
my brother showed me this song 2 years ago cus his birthday is june 6th and this song came out june 6th and he talks about june 6th and every time i listen to this song i think about my brother cus hes in prison
my condolences bro
It came out june 7th on youtube
@@Seth-sp1lt Actually, he’s right. It came out on June 6
Where he at and how long
FREE HIM
first song i hear from this dude. I'm just mind blown right now!
you should check out his first solo project that he references in this, it's really good
First song I heard from him was "Down On My Luck" that song is so fire, I really hope he'd incorporate that house vibe into his music again.
FUCKING SAME!!!!!
I heard u mad first
+xSquad Productions same bro haven't really heard anything besides u mad
never die, we live forever
TECHSMARTT
i hate ur videos kek
AYE I LOVE YOU AND YOUR LIT XD :P
boi
yeah say that in 100 years dumbass
I can’t let a day go without playing this song 2021 yet I get goosebumps when he starts the “know I never die” hook
literally
facts since 2016
We miss THE OLD VIC MENSA SO MUCH 💯💯💯🔥🔥
How the fuck am I just hearing of him now?
real artists don't get shouted out like the trash ones
listen to his old shit 🔥💯💯
Chi-town baby! Don't sleep!!! ;)
He came up right after Chance the rapper. They were we're buddies before the fame I guess. Listen to "Time is money" by him. It's so fuckin good and old
they all apart of save money
This goes hard forreal
+Hunter RIP 😂😂
+Hunter RIP LMFAOOOOO
Chill you're dissing, I'm still the face of hip hop as of right now
this is dope jayz stay hitting up liteskin niggaz Cole now him he look like one of them Chicago niggaz tho neva judge book by its cover i had watch this 5xs listen to words
+Drake lmao that was funny your a idea u don't count lol
I'm a metal head....and bunny, your voice and music is incredibly accurate. Much truth to it. Keep pushing, you're going to be amazing!!! Very successful young man. I can feel it. Stick with rap, your lyrics are poetry with a beat to it. Beautiful.
Everyone saying how they want this Vic back but don't bother hearing his new stuff. No more teardrops dropped and no one batted an eye. He still as lyrical as ever, but yall sleep on him.
If you're here in 2023, you're a GOAT. Keep pushing 🫸 thru the mental ish and youll end up on top.
His voice when he talks about Kids These Days breaking up.. We feel you Vic. Keep going strong
There's a lot going in this video even tho it's a one taker. Crazy song and crazy video!
Thumbs up if you respect Vic Mensa for what he does!
#VIX is out here.
+Vix Wasty respect only
+Vix Wasty lol'd at the last sentence. Keep doin what u do tho
***** wait up homie when that new shit drop u bout to be a fan
+Art Pushers Shut up, bitch.
ToryVillaStamosFCB Tell him!
My song of the year. 2021
I loved Jaseh when we was here.....but God damn, Vic is a great artist. This was some of the realest shit I've heard and a dope minimalist video. Crazy underated.
We were here before 500k, are we hipsters?
True
I got here at 544k, am I mainstream? :p
Lol
I was here before 3000 does that make an alpha????
I feel a shift in hip hop
There has been for the past six years.
+Darren Katomski seriously in my opinion . it's been a change since acid rap. it goes along with the modern lsd revolution thats been happening. it bled into rap. whole black hippie movement. especially with chicago and atlanta lots of rappers been doing tabs. i really cant believe its not talked about more. and those rappers doing these mind blowing drugs treat the business a lot different now
This is really interesting. Thanks for providing this insight.
I agree, drug use has changed hip hop a lot in this past decade. The rap game is going through a shift like rock did back in the day with its own creative minds being high off everything
+Alex Sampson acid is a hell of a drug, takes a whole nother toll on your mind.
Trippie xxx took his sound
My dad loved your music so much he believed in you and he’s gone he passed away today 😢😢😢 just know
this is the most underrated, innovative music video I've ever seen. people somehow still sleep on vic even though he's one of the few rappers that really speak truth in their music.
its the truth he speaks that has kept him slept on, people don't wanna hear the truth...they wanna hear gucci gang and dumb shit
Agreed!!!!!!
Jeff Gorman. Mm mzzzzm. Qaz,zzmqazzz, qaz,zza. Az,,, z zmmmmmmmmmmmzz zz,zzzzzzzzzz ,
The video? Nah
This trash
this might be the best song of 2016 this has to blow up...I felt like I was there with him not even in the video but just the lyrics people be sleeping on vic mensa...kids flow is crazy...lyrical content just took to another level man...one of my favorite tapes too
fetty wep - wake up is amazing too
+wowbonus why r u talking about fetty wap on this
hahahahahahahahahahahahahashahahahahahahah
+wowbonus That song is pure ass
This song hard y’all can’t lie
I think I’ve listened to this song 25 out of the past 24 hours. Sheeeeesh
I appreciate the fact that Vic Mensa let's you see his truths on all levels in his music. We all have our demons at least he has made peace with his and let them go.
This is the hardest song I've heard all year goddamn 🔥
+Imperialnight01 joke is on you
She's just a skank looking for attention through hateful comments. No class or talent.
Maybe you should read your own comments, you're the only individual that commented on his video....dipshit.
+Lumiya fuckin gottem haha
+Imperialnight01 wtf iggy sucks at rap and thats saying alot
Underrated King Vic 🤝🏾🐘
This song makes me feel sane through all the madness
this is the best song ive heard in a long time.
so true

+Cam Wulf Hollow
Needed to come back to this after that shit he dropped yesterday lol so disappointed
Same.
SAME IKR
Chris Padilla I feels man, that whole wannabe punk sound just ain’t it
Camp America was good and the song was good but that video went too far lol
He's working on his sophomore album, simultaneously as he was working on 93Punx and another project also he said on Twitter that he's been in his INNANETAPE
bag too. TAGO was a great EP but 93Punx was pretty cool and different, it was Punk/Rock infused with Trap/Rap, I respect it, he been into Rock before Hip Hop and it's been a present influence in his career since it's genesis. "Numb" is a great fucking track, on some NERD shit, some weirdo gangsta shit too. I respect his pen, artistic ambition and versatility. And even though we had to see him go through that "feminine principle" ritual of emasculation he at least had a message to go with it, he didn't let them do him like Kevin Heart, Will Smith, Martin Lawrence
,
LeBron, Charles Barkley
, Terry Crews etc etc. Shit or even Dave Chappelle (look up "Men In Tights") who infamously acknowledge it being a ritual. And 2018 Hooligans EP was hard, especially revisiting it today. But Vic like Pac, Kanye and many other Geminis tend to be crazy, talented weirdos lol. They are wavy weirdos tho lol.
rawest truth ive ever seen spit and shown that last final test of judgement he faced head on. you graduated bro and you got your ticket to heaven waiting in you whenever you choose you ready so keep on living your best life brother.
Vic Mensa this is the best song i've heard all year, and best video too, i loved innanetape and i used to listen to it everyday, then i stopped listening to you because i wasn't really a fan of your new style, but this, this was amazing, absolutely fantastic
Same
need more music like this.. you could feel the emotion.
Not a fan of Holy Holy or Time is Money???? tf
those songs are on innanetape
+Brandon Kaeo Dumb ass
I swear over 500 of these views are from me alone...
Cody Conklin fr dude recently discovered this guy even tho he’s famous but he fucking SPITS
Same
Cody Conklin the rest are mine
The accuracy.
This was my song a few years ago forgot about it now its my number 1 again
Damn this man can tell a story.
J Will it’s a true story
Fighting bipolar and alcoholism.. so thankful for Vic with this one 💜🦾
Vic Mensa so slept on
that don't stop believin journey line was dope asf 🔥🔥🔥
This song changed my life
This song make you hold your breath. Like I’m listening to creed.
Did y'all notice at the end their was 16 shots that went around him. This guys a genius
youngin oneverything dude thats crazy😱
youngin oneverything what does the 16 shots mean??
Jonathan Solis it was a song by Vic about police brutality
rly not genius xd , great song , just a random gun added in the official vid
Technically it's just his album cover
Last time I listened to Vic was Orange Soda but people change
I'm actually likin this though
yeah he changed a lot! he looks all dark and emo now idk maybe because hes under kanyes wing now . ugh.
+FOREVER LIFTED under Jay's wing^^^ not emo, just honest.
you int lying, his flow change for the money
thats what happens when you sell your soul or about to. -_-
A raw song - true emotions - just talent
Song gives still chills in 2020, who with me?
Kanye was right, this was super creative.
Yeah... this the jam right here. Possibly the best song Vic has made so far.
nope
+Jai Giovanni It's a matter of opinion.
Shammgod Santiago Ik but Hollywood LA is his GOAT
Most underrated rapper
Thank you for showing me this song, brother. I miss you so much, man. I am so sorry it took me so long to realize what you were trying to say.
Edit - I also learned Vic is a Gemini like that is crazy for me lol I love ya Vic
My Lord and Savior Kanye Sent me here, stayed because I loved this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
he went rock with the intro
Which made it dope in the mix
+Omar Cota Torres definitely!
I love it
+Cutthroat Tv it surprised me i didnt think he listened to music outside of our culture but then again he looks like he listens to the dead Kennedy's and shit like that
+Jay Lauren410 all the big artists do. Kendrick, Cole, Kanye, Drake even if you don't like him. They all do. That's how they are so creative. Chance... They all do.
Never heard of Vic Mensa until he opened up for jay z last November and I knew this dude was special. He deserves more recognition
This is a masterpiece. The video and the song.
Thank you for the art, Vic. The new project has been on repeat since it dropped! #SaveMoney
also RIP kids these days
+Brazzers TV lmfao
+Brazzers TV 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
+Brazzers TV 😂😂😂 yoo Savage
+Brazzers TV 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
y'all childish
Listening to this crossfaded before work. Makes me feel free. Like we're in this moment. All we have is now (hence why it's him in an empty room) so this sceme actually works here). and we can either let it fuck us up or you can look at it from a place of optimism. Life couldn't be better despite all the struggles and strife. You're family and you're health is on the line. I don't want my son putting anything on hold because his dad was a selfish junkie.
Vic is so slept on. I remember when this came out and I can still recite the whole thing. Love this song so much. So personal, love hearing his story and journey. Keep doing you Vic. Wish he got more mainstream recognition.
You still stand to your statement? After his pussy little ass cuffs out a dead man in front of X's grieving mother. He's a hypocrite. Fuck Vic Mensa
@@johnnos4540 stfu pussy, go cry somewhere else
@@johnnos4540 Him making a dick move doesn't change the fact that this song right here is better than XXX's discography.
And you should buy yourself a dictionary to read up on the definition of hypocrite. Vic's not a hypocrite, just an asshole.
Soulfully oh, he does. He dissed Xxxtentacion inBET cypher. That got him filled with hatred real quick over the internet.
@@ryanboulton2915 man how can you tell someone who's defending a dead rapper when ur profile pic is peep?
this is deeeeeep.
Vic told a vivid story with this song, it's so good.
Yall have to understand, yes what he did was tasteless, but he is not a hypocrite. A hypocrite is someone who speaks against something and behind closed doors does the same thing. This song he wrote in 2016 and he is clearly coming from a place of remorse and understanding of what he did to his ex. In this song he was someone who was battling drug addiction, bi polar disorder, and morality. You can hear the mental struggle he was having with these three things in this song and what is most important is the aspect of redemption at the end. At the of the song he points out how he's learned from the destruction he was causing in his past, including the situation with his ex. I think Vic called out x bc maybe unlike most of us, he understands what it is like to be on the one inflicting physical pain on a woman and so because of his perspective he is hyperacutely aware of how wrong that is and he just felt strongly against anyone who lays their hand on a woman and shows completely no remorse.
...and I appreciate him calling out destructive behavior and defending woman who have been on the receiving end of domestic violence, honestly.
Well said
Perfectly said. Sadly you've most likely only wasted your time. No logical nor factual arguments can change blind hate. XXX's fangirls suffer from exactly that, blind hate.
Xxxtentacion had mental struggles too and he changed more than that man could ever change. Jahseh changed physically and mentally and grew as a person, he became more mature and inspiring to a point where he touches peoples heart through his songs and lyrics allowing them to never give up and push forward and beat the mental health issues you’re dealing with. Vic called xxxtentacion out of spite and malice, he disrespected the dead. Where was all this talk when Jahseh was alive huh?
If u hate y r u here
Need this Vic back
yeezy taught me to watch this video
Gang
he was right, it's very creative. Love it.
+Dan Fifa98 hey what happened to chanceupdates?
Yeezy taught you well, yeezy taught you well.
Vic Mensa is the definition of a lyrical genius. And it's sad that the rest of the world is "sleeping on him like long flights".
he's aight. chill. nothing that groundbreaking
I don't listen to new music quite often. I literally just watched a Wild N' Out clip and was wondering who he was. Pretty cool! I like his style of music and his voice doesn't sound like everyone else.
Pop a xan
no
nope
You have got to respect this kind of honesty. Bravery. Insight. Wow!
That's some of the best story telling rap EVER....
Vic is gonna shut up a lot of people this year
still get chills everytime i hear this
This is the one you come back for
There's so much to this record, it's like a book; you come back to it and unpack/discover something new you didn't pick up on before
Replayed this so many times in 2016🔥
2018 for me
2020

"when kids these days split that shit felt like a c-section"

Emil Torres what picture are you talking about ?
Marjorie Coen right once i read this he said it...
Marjorie Coen hottest line for decades
UTf Lee i too have no idea what he is talking about
This has been my favorite song for years. It got me through the darkest days of my addiction. One day at a time
my producer Shamello Durant just hipped me to Vic.... happy he did
Here before this hits 1 mill!
That's pure talent man, much respect to you Vic
One of the best songs ever made! Congratulations my boy you did this!
One of the greatest rap songs of the 2010s.
