This is the type of shit subscribers want to see, because nobody gives a fuck that Kanye West went to whole foods and bought organic produce.
osrs
I guess they can do both... this was dope bruh
LMFAO
Amen to that LOL
Truth
When Wik starts talking about the train, shit almost brought tears
RazorBackBabiesLAzy23 one of best Wiki's verse imo
that 4 bar described my whole life
Clayton Lawson thats powerful man thats dope
On god
Facts
wiki spits from his soul man, no doubt
I only heard one line from him and i had to come check this out i knew it would be fire
earthboundTV 我ラーン你 PASSION
playing trumpet this well earns you the right to wear your shades indoors.
True
+David Copeland Hahahahaha shit cracks me up
The trumpet is the most beautiful instrument ever made,but to learn how to play an instrument these days is looked down upon...People rather rap their dead bars in your face with their stank breath lmao
+Hemokinesis pass em the trumpet
Let them see, the thing is you can see all these rappers with tons of money and world desires.
These kids with stank breath want it bad and I'm sure they don't know many who got rich with a trumpet.
Christian Scott can do whatever the fuck he wants!!!!! Badass af
This was dope. I'd like this to be a regular thing.

Same
Yea keep it going
Wiki needs more shine. Never disappoints.
Cobhammar he is to this day still way too under-rated
Cause man don't make enough music lmao
@@KevinTheCardigan I wish he made more as well but dropping every other year isn’t the absolute worst
@@KevinTheCardigan thats not it.
@@callumskilton1818 still but hes growing
Deep verse from Ferg, always liked him but damn this verse was one of the best i heard from him.
I agree
+Saul Hermosillo Ayo word man ! Ferg has some *complex* lines and great flow
Fax
tru!
+Saul Hermosillo People try to sleep on him just because he likes making fun records. Let an artist be versatile.
in light of troy ave being extremely rude to one of our departed, thank you Ferg for saying R.I.P. Steez
Fuck troy average steez was better than he will ever be
+SwaggyT truth
W
Steez would've gave Troy a Capital L to take to his Ave.
RIP Steez
Ok first of all Ferg, Wiki and Droog murdered the hell out of this cypher! But that DRUMMER! Corey was just out of this WORLD! Every groove he did was soooooooo smooth and effortless. This is 1 of the best cyphers I've had the pleasure of seeing and hearing. Long Live real Hip-Hop. 😱💀🐐🐐🐐😎👂👁☝✌✊👑🎼🎵🎶🎹🎺🎸
Dudes so tight while reaming loose and enjoying himself, crazy.
Wiki is a dope ass artist. Real shit
COMPLEX STEP YOUR SHIT UP WE BEEN WAITING ON ANOTHER CITY
ASAP FERG must've just listened to To Pimp A Butterfly before this
Wiki had a good verse, but Ferg really blew this shit out the water. That instrumentation was beautiful as well, W for complex
I dunno man, they were all dope but I like Wiki's melody he was playing with along with the story he was painting. Ferg did make me a believer with that verse though. Now if only he dropped consistent ish like that.
2023. Had a homie of mine we would always sip together and he put me on this around the time it came out. We don't talk anymore much love to him and his life. Underrated session. Drummer MVP!
This is fucking insane, never thought I'd see these 3 work together. There all on 3 completely different levels of hip-hop. I guess that's New York for you, always the pinnacle of pushing hip-hop.
+0LolaLola Eh. That's not what I'm saying, the fact that these guys can work together is great. Because at the end of the day, they're at the same places. They're on different sub-genres and levels of popularity and shit, but they can get together and make some dope shit. I just think that's cool.
Fr New York unmatchable
Droog sounds like a blend of Black Thought and Doom...dope!
The Butcher Brown dudes complement YOD so well!!!!! amazing set!
Yeah, DJ Harrison is a UNBELIEVABLE artist
RATKING NEVA LOOSIN HYPE
+Batrick Pateman NO
Slickid Illest no what you idiot?
i was adding up to the lyric lmao my bad
haha this is hilarious lul
Wiki killed this
I Love Makonnen is killin it on the trumpet
W😂😂😂
nah, that's Bobby Valentino
😂😂😂😭
+Scott Lave ITS CHRISTIAN scott bro
haha
I don't know who WIKI is, but his shit was 🔥
+Benny Lopez Look up Ratking
Ratking bro look up Snow Beach it's his best work in my opinion. The intro takes some growing time but once that sax kicks in...
+Benny Lopez check out RATKING
+Benny Lopez His Lil' Me mixtape doesn't have a single weak spot on it
+Wyatt Grant I've been on Ferg for awhile now. but this dude Wiki surprised me. gonna check him out now. Thanks fellas
wiki style was smooth as hell, droog on some dope as nas tip and a$ap on some busta ryhmes shit which i didnt expect. all together dope as hell and that band god damn yo
I didn't know A$AP FERG could spit like this, I always liked his flow and wordplay but this is a lot deeper than what I could have expected, much respect.
wiki killed this shit hands down, he had the best verse; no question
vero nika agreed
vero nika W
not even a thought... he godly
nigga got goosebumps on the back of my neck
Men ASAP was great to yoh
The guy who went second has the most chillest flow ever. He brings me back to those old 90s songs while playing old skate games and cruising through big cities. #TooNice
for real! he totally embodies that classic NYC sound, it's so refreshing. every rap sounds like a freestyle, idk but it's just nice for rhymes to be so natural in contrast to wiki and ferg's somewhat contrived rhyme schemes..
I know I’m not the only one that caught that in the very beginning the guy says “let’s do that and hear what that feels like” ... and that’s the thing about music ... that statement makes absolute sense ... shits incredible
Wiki and the whole Ratking is so underrated. They really define what NY hiphop should sound like. Love they music.
For some reason I just keep coming back to this video. It came out when I was about to finish high school.... good times
How is Wiki not famous. His vibes are insane. He rides a beat and has a unique lyrical flow
Wiki should spit more on this type of beats
11 months and this is still the only one... great series complex
Wikis flow was flawless
Im looking foward to Wikis career in near future. He a real artist with no boundaries on how to flow dude.
He’s been getting some solid names on his tracks but yeah i agree. He’s like in that middle part of being known despite being a very fresh breath of air
wiki is my favorite homeless man
Mines the dude playing keys
@@bobbyrussell830 that's DJ Harrison. Rly dope producer / keys for Butcher Brown alongside the drummer Cory Fonville
You've never met Sharkula in Chicago before. Lol
@@ZHunt-sj1lf nice
Yeah was at his xoyo gig he wanted to fight me the whole time. Lucky I didn’t get stomped
Cant go a day without listening to this..the transition from the end of Droog's verse to Ferg's part 5:24 to 6:00 is so fire, i could listen to it forever
Your Old Droog....nuff said.
Yup he’s are old droog
Period.
the band arrangement for Wikis verse is incredible
All great artists. Ferg kind of blew me away though.
Wiki and Ferg in a Cypher. Thank you Complex.
Lil Me is such a good album.
Wiki was on a spiritual level on this one. Simply amazing. He's underrated
Wiki got that chill "Train" flow! Dope live set
Wik.....that shit hit the heart chakra
Loving the Jazz sound of the instrumentation
Droog sounds like DOOM and Nas at the same time🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
and the game
+Uzain6 truuu
No
Droog sounds like droog
This is really dope. Never seen such a cypher. Combination of Jazz and Hip Hop. It's art. It's amazing.
Z Yoshida come to new York city
Wikis bars at 2mins are too sick, madly underated artist.
Shout out from bristol uk
These three are the epitome of New York
this reminded me of that chappelle skit with the drums
+asdf spitting that dylon...top 5, i'm all 5.
oops, pow, surprise! Ooooh!
asdf black people love drums
Bayo Fayemi drums is the heart beat
No one's gonna talk about how dope Christian's solo was or how amazing that groove during his was? Corey Fonville was playing the groove from Sunrise in Beijing off of Christian's album and that shit goes son. Y'all sleep for real.
Wiki with another killer verse goddam. dope vid
Shout out my mans Corey fonville on the drums. Killin it for the 757 what up kid!!!!
"Ratking never losing hype"
DJ Harrison on the keys! RVA represent
Glad Wik is finally getting the recognition he deserves
Please more
Also Ferg really held his own
2019 still listen to the good wiki
This wiki bull is just killed his part, gained a new fan cuhhh!!!
complex you earn a W. congrats
Pls do more of this real music with great artist like Christian Atunde Adjuah. I miss more cyphers like this
the guy on the trumpit litt
Wow. J Cole was right hip hop did need something new and I guess this should be that new thing. Cyphers with live jazz/rock instruments and straight storytelling. Straight lyricism. This cypher was crazy! I can't even say who was better because they all killed it and had amazing verses and stories and the overall message was dope af. I hope complex does more of these because this is great and I feel like hip hop needs this. This could save hip hop. I didn't even expect that verse from Ferg either. Such a great cypher
best shit complex has ever post, period.
Beautiful.
Your Old Droog! YOD
First Verse when melody changes and Wiki says Up on the train, 86 and it's reckless, I visit my mom that shit hit me in my soul mike tyson velocity...thinkin of visiting my dead moms in the afterlife through astral projection or some spiritual medium...
I wish all rap shows where this dope shit would be a nice change
💯
Christian scott and ferg was beautiful and powerful. music pushing through the veins
never thought I'd hear wiki, droog & ferg on the same ish. now they just need to make a few tracks together
Beat was absolutely fire. Those keys and horns mmmMmm
ASAP Fergs music is dope when it comes to an actual subject. He usually tries to make club bangers, but if you hear songs like Choppas on deck, Diamond dust, Real thing, etc he has potential to be among the best
That Ferg seg, was so touching, you feel him talkin from the heart....
R.I.P.
ASAP YAMS
I was expecting Ferg to come with his usual hyped shit but his verse was amazing. Band killed it too.
I occasionally like to visit this page to be reminded of what hip-hop could be.
3:59 this line aged like fine wine
ANY VERSE THAT I HAVE TO REWIND GOES DOWN IN HISTORY FOREVER !!! ASAP FERG !!! LEGEND !
wik da god
live instrumentation cypher is dope I don't wanna see nothing less now
Everyone killed it lyrically, I Vibed out the most to Wiki tho. He flows on that shit.
Wiki had you in that zone like you was riding along with him boosting cars. I've always like a lyricist that tells a story.
Wikis part too powerful the way the instrumentalist hit it off and when it switches and Wik switches his flow
Never gets old
dopest video complex has dropped in months.
The was Amazing!!! God bless everybody involved Man this was Special....much respect to all the RIP's
Rest. In. Paradise. Steez & Big pun much respect to the true artist.
Thank you for this Complex. There's nothing more refreshing than a mash of talented individuals producing such a good vibe. Well done chap!
The drums on this are wild!!!
COMPLEX DID SUMN RIGHT THIS TIME
The instrumentation on this is insane and wiki verse make me emotional everytime.
Thank you from 2024
Live instrumentation is the way to do it.
I dont even know how anyone could find a reason to dislike this. probably some kid like " wheres the trap beat " . loving the clean bass tone . big ups
Damn... this is what xxl is suppose to be
Hell fucking yeah, but freshmans can't bring it no more and the new ideas they keep tryna put out are honestly so whack
This is the art I like to see, A$AP Ferg spit knowledge
This is the best thing complex has made to date. Keep this going
This was legendary, let's not forget this... ever
droog went off in this
Real hip hop Cypher & the jazz improvisation is excellent. Dope collabo. Should have more shows like this.
(Patiently waiting for the next Complex City Cypher) 😶
Love this - Kingston upon Hull, England x
until now ferg was just a club banger to me. it's good to be surprised
Whos still listening to this in 2020? Still 🔥🔥
The band was dope
This is hiphop right here! Rap/jazz/trap, a beautiful combo.
