Luis yah that's him enit bit his flow and lyrical content is one of the best out there imo the kid can Rap hard ...its that New York accent man smashes it every time 👊
I saw Despot open for Das Racist. I didnt even know who they were. I paid 15 to get in, watched him open and left. Im guess thats the only time I'll ever see him perform.
It's a crime they don't have a proper opening title sequence using the lyrics version. Because the lyrics could just as easily come straight out of Bobby Axelrods mouth.
This is his actual moms, right? the one who still calls him Lechkey? And I'm assuming dad and brother? The projects-shaped ring is cold af no matter what tho.
+GeminiEye1 I can listen to this track all day, what is Despot up to? is he seriously sending his fans on edge as he puts together album of a lifetime?
+GeminiEye1 I don't know who Jay Electronica is but you have me intrigued. god bless new music! I am old enough to remember when MTV opened minds. that was some shit we will never see again.
At this point I hope Despot never releases a record. Honestly. As much as I'd love one, I honestly think it might tarnish his legacy. The guy is a legend and the pressure that would be on him is just out of this world.
I am automatically sold on any music video that features falconry. This is dope, I first heard this on that KEXP preformance with El P, Killer Mike and Motherfucker Jones.
I first saw this guy perform over a decade ago. I instantly fell in love. Some MCs are so brilliant and charismatic that they don't need to be prolific. Quality over quantity. I'll gladly wait another decade for the "new album".
the line "Im colorblind mf I dont know" always makes me smile....you can see how much fun they just had making this video and that's what music should be....for love of MUSIC. When I am low, this brings me back up again.
Despot might be one of the weirdest and greatest rappers ever. He's in the same league with Doom and ODB....no. That's it. There's only three people in that league. Doom, ODB and Despot. There's no ranking though. They exist in a state of chaos. Edit: I shamefully missed out Biggie. My previous comment still stands though. Sickest flows ever. RIP Mr Smalls, Ol' Dirty and Doom.
love this video, love Despot, and love Ratatat - thanks to Despot. Yeah, I'd lived under a stone, but crawled out from under and saw the light. Great stuff, guys. Thank you.
I can’t believe they put this underground banger on Don’t Look Up between this and the Wu Tang Clan in the beginning the composer has good taste in hip hop
Why would you think no one would get this? Wu-Tang Clan is one of the biggest groups of all time. Did you think they were some diamond in a rough you had discovered? Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele is a gold record. He was in Def Jam Vendetta with the fucking bird on. Your comment boggles my mind so much that it hurts.
Still one of my absolute favorite tracks. I hope mr Reinstein gets inspired and finally gives us the record we so desperately want. But if not, thats ok too. Im glad we got what we did and will continue to celebrate it.
Lol. Have you ever seen him at an underground show? My guess is you've probably only seen him "rapping" in this and The Last Huzzah Remix. That is acting not rapping. Trust me his face would look a whole lot different when hes recording
I saw Despot open for Run The Jewels a few months before this video was released. He gave no definitive timeframe for the album except that he said it was pretty much done and is a collab with Ratatat,, which he performed numerous songs with backing tracks presumably done by them. Again, that was two years ago. So just keep your eyes open...
hes been saying hes got an album coming out for over a decade now LOL apparently he has a buncha shit recorded but doesn't wanna release it for some reason
Here 7 years later and this song still hits hard. Love it!
yeeeea
this is a clssic
El P….where you at god?
Maybe one day my children's children will enjoy the Despot album.
Maybe one day your grandchildren's children will enjoy the Despot album.
I have grandchildren, I hope there grandchildren are so blessed.
It would be nice...
@@moonmanvic I doubt it
It's gonna be Despots great grandchild to pick it back up.
the half life 3 of potential rap albums
oh NO 😭
lmaoooo
Great analogy
Did it never come out?
@@samrose2484 right lol
Despot the hardest rapper who look like he’d give you directions and cab fare if you was lost in the city.
lol
Maybe the Corona quarantine will force Despot doing his album finally.
Well we just got one new song, kinda...
fucking lold
I hope so because this song is still so fucking dope and I want more
i'm still waiting
@@Izzy7s7 I just realized it was your channel I was listening to it on.
one of the hardest thing i've had to accept about music in general is that we will never get a despot LP
One of the harder lessons I have had to accept from life.
you've been holding on to this pot of gold for a while Despot, you damn leprechaun
marco herrera I'm offensive and I find that Irish
+Marco Herrera Chico To be fair, he's been playing this song live since 2012. He doesn't even like this version.
Yes.
salame boi
I never get ad's on this track and that brings joy to my heart
dude fuck yeah i never notcied that what a G
This song was miles ahead of its time.
I hear this about every rap song released before 2016
That "looking at the camera while this hawk lands all up on my glove" moment was pretty damn badass.
Despot looks like he couldn't care less if he's in this video
Yeah, I love his flow and word play, but god damn, this dude couldn't show an ounce of enthusiasm in his videos if his life depended on it.
Seems like that's kind of his aesthetic, though.
Luis yah that's him enit bit his flow and lyrical content is one of the best out there imo the kid can Rap hard ...its that New York accent man smashes it every time 👊
ya its kinda his schtick. u should see him live its hilarious
how is he supposed to look?
Anyone listening, on the cusp of 2020, laughing about the perpetual TBA album release?
Perhaps, give me your Facebook
Shiiva Inu We been laughing about the album release since 2011 minimum
Yes ma'am. Still waiting.
It’s coming out this year
God Almighty weirdo
this is the realest rap video to ever exist in the history of existence...
"you want a new song... tell em 2 put coming soon on my tombstone" - Despot 2016
we're never getting that album
I really hope he was joking
there should be more rap videos with rappers parents doing tai chi...
It's funny we got RTJ3 and still no Despot Album.
I know. What the f*ck?
Jarrick Williams
Das Racist formed , played Conan and broke up.
...still no Despot album.
Aiur Das Racist need to come back, they're doing nowhere as a good solo-wise compared to when they were a Trio.
I saw Despot open for Das Racist. I didnt even know who they were. I paid 15 to get in, watched him open and left. Im guess thats the only time I'll ever see him perform.
thats the joke
Billions brought me here
MrSechelt yup same here
i was actually shocked to hear this song open up billions.
It's a crime they don't have a proper opening title sequence using the lyrics version. Because the lyrics could just as easily come straight out of Bobby Axelrods mouth.
Keep your head up everyone. Maybe this is the decade.
Always and forever one of the hardest tracks ever made!!!
Everyone tweet El-P when is Despot albums coming out.
savage af
This funny asf, seeing as how if we do this El might block us all
idk I think they're sorta friends now. wouldn't be surprised at all if El and KM were on his album
There is a company flow sticker on the bus at the very beginning...
That ship has sailed. Maybe we should pester Billy Woods to put it out on Backwoodz.
Still playing in my head in 2024
"...how'd that little guy get on such a high horse."
Dope!
I just got abducted by aliens and I was taken to the year 2099. Technology was insane but still no Despot album. Humankind is still waiting.
The Lizard, the Falcon, the Tai Chi, the beat, those bars! Amazing
Philip Larkin!
4 years since the video, about 9 since I saw him do this song live, still doesn’t get old. Album soon.....
I love this video. It screams "This is where I'm from and if you can't tell by this phat ring I'm pimpin... I'm proud as hell about it."
Just randomly met a childhood friend of Despot and he insisted I listened. Wow! ✔️🙏🏾👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾💯
Still rocking in 2024🤘
yo im still waiting on this album
July 2019: still no album
HOW'D THAT LITTLE GUY GET ON SUCH A HIGH HORSE?
This is his actual moms, right? the one who still calls him Lechkey? And I'm assuming dad and brother? The projects-shaped ring is cold af no matter what tho.
Still one of my all time fave hip hop tracks. Love you Despot and love to your beautiful Family too.
"Don't Look Up" movie watchers will materialize in 4....3.....2.....
awesome to see despot gearing up to drop his album
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
hector gonzalez plz let us believe his album will drop
He preformed this song like three years ago and he's just now releasing the video for it haha
I bet this cat is just teasing everyone. His ocd makes him overly critical and he will never release the full lengh.
+reason2910 yea dude, i reckon you are spot on.
I've been waiting for a Despot album as long as I've been waiting for a Jay Electronica album. Will this be the year for both?
GeminiEye1 As a huge hiphop head, I'll admit this guy can SPIT. That flow is SLIIIIIIIIIICK.
shit I been waiting since 97 I managed to collect a bunch of random singles and bump those great artist hopefully a full album since
+GeminiEye1 Despot is so hot!!!!!! I am gay for this track!
+GeminiEye1 I can listen to this track all day, what is Despot up to? is he seriously sending his fans on edge as he puts together album of a lifetime?
+GeminiEye1 I don't know who Jay Electronica is but you have me intrigued. god bless new music! I am old enough to remember when MTV opened minds. that was some shit we will never see again.
This video deserves many, many more views.
At this point I hope Despot never releases a record. Honestly. As much as I'd love one, I honestly think it might tarnish his legacy. The guy is a legend and the pressure that would be on him is just out of this world.
I am automatically sold on any music video that features falconry. This is dope, I first heard this on that KEXP preformance with El P, Killer Mike and Motherfucker Jones.
lol @ "motherfucker jones". Best comment ever.
Trevor Smith despit? Dee spot? Desput???
Still bumping this in 2019 because Despot is holding out on us....
MAYBE ONE DAY
I first saw this guy perform over a decade ago. I instantly fell in love. Some MCs are so brilliant and charismatic that they don't need to be prolific. Quality over quantity. I'll gladly wait another decade for the "new album".
Only 4 years left. ... hopefully 🥹
Where did you go, Despot?
the line "Im colorblind mf I dont know" always makes me smile....you can see how much fun they just had making this video and that's what music should be....for love of MUSIC. When I am low, this brings me back up again.
February 2020: still no album
February 2021: same as last year
February 2023:
easily one of my favorite artists of all time. deep resprect for Despot. the coupling of Ratatat + Despot is beyond sublime. Please run it back
i had a dream ... one day despot will release the best album of them all and the world would finally come to peace
Despot is like El-P’s slacker cousin lmao
Never gettin an album I guess
Just talked to him….album is due out any day now.
He makes what my grandma used to say sound bad ass
Any decade now baby... the album's dropping for sure.
I remember listening to this in 2008
Started thinking "Damn when is this dude gonna come out with an album?" Looked up his Instagram..... He's a fitness model now?????
lmfao nah that boy is diesel forreal
Rapping is truly a hobby to him. He’s been running a super successful nightclub in NY forever now. Keeps him pretty busy I imagine.
Just got back from my vacation in an alternate dimension where I picked up the Despot album. It's aiight.
The year is 2021...let us get this video to 1,000,000 views.
Despot, I never thought this fucking day would come.
So rich I burn bridges to keep a stove lit.
More Despot please
Maybe in about 27 years, haha
Going tell my kids this was vanilla ice
Despot might be one of the weirdest and greatest rappers ever. He's in the same league with Doom and ODB....no. That's it. There's only three people in that league. Doom, ODB and Despot. There's no ranking though. They exist in a state of chaos.
Edit: I shamefully missed out Biggie. My previous comment still stands though. Sickest flows ever. RIP Mr Smalls, Ol' Dirty and Doom.
Despot getting that billionaires theme money so an album ain't gonna happen.
Yes, please roll another one
love this video, love Despot, and love Ratatat - thanks to Despot. Yeah, I'd lived under a stone, but crawled out from under and saw the light. Great stuff, guys. Thank you.
I don't know how many times I've listened to this song, but I can't get enough of it.
Despot is a hidden gem man, every little thing the guys pushes out is fucking lit
despot plz come back we need u
DROP THE ALBUM GODDAMMIT
This guy is amazing. I can't believe his name isn't everywhere.
This song brings so much joy ❤❤❤
Same beat goes hard. I wish Ratatat did more hip-hop Collabs.
@@Shawnsrumi Check out E.vax collabs with Kid Cudi and other hip hop artists if you haven't done yet, those are neat
FIRE!!!!!!!!! Never thought I'd bump a rap song by little white ginger lol
am i the only one that immediately replays this track after it plays?
Detox will come out before the Despot album.
One of the greatest rappers you’ll never know about
I can’t believe they put this underground banger on Don’t Look Up between this and the Wu Tang Clan in the beginning the composer has good taste in hip hop
ikr,
Come on Despot we fiending for that album.
90% of people aren't gonna get that Ghostface line, but it is GENIUS.
(Ghostface has a piece of jewelry that is a golden eagle resting on a bracelet)
And he has a picture of him posing with an eagle
I got it
Yeah I think most heads get it.
We know, dude.
Why would you think no one would get this? Wu-Tang Clan
is one of the biggest groups of all time. Did you think they were some diamond in a rough you had discovered? Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele is a gold record. He was in Def Jam Vendetta with the fucking bird on. Your comment boggles my mind so much that it hurts.
Still one of my absolute favorite tracks. I hope mr Reinstein gets inspired and finally gives us the record we so desperately want.
But if not, thats ok too. Im glad we got what we did and will continue to celebrate it.
Come on Despot, give us the rest of the album. I love you and Ratatat. It will be epic.
Yes Billions brought me here!!!
Billions brought me here!!
despot looks so nonchalant when he's rappin
Lol. Have you ever seen him at an underground show? My guess is you've probably only seen him "rapping" in this and The Last Huzzah Remix. That is acting not rapping. Trust me his face would look a whole lot different when hes recording
yeah i seen him live and he kills it. i just meant this video.
i seiously replay this song again and again, more than any track i have ever heard, this track needs a case study or i am just stupid for it.
Love the magnifique shout out
When I first heard homesickness I just wondered why nobody we knew before rapped like that. He made you feel it.
"So rich I burn Bridges to keep the stove lit". 🖐️✊
I saw Despot open for Run The Jewels a few months before this video was released. He gave no definitive timeframe for the album except that he said it was pretty much done and is a collab with Ratatat,, which he performed numerous songs with backing tracks presumably done by them. Again, that was two years ago. So just keep your eyes open...
hes been saying hes got an album coming out for over a decade now LOL apparently he has a buncha shit recorded but doesn't wanna release it for some reason
