GeminiEye1 True, but I respect him more as an artist for not really worrying about it. Staying true to the music, and being okay with not being blown up like that.
Nathan Dupler You can still blow up without turning into a sell out. Look at Chance The Rapper, Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar. Hip Hop/Rap is changing. People are tired of hearing that same old bullshit on the radio.
Nathan Dupler check out his interviews. He seems like a very humble cat and I don't see fame tainting anything he puts out. He even says he has a hard time working with certain people bc he doesn't smoke or drink and almost everyone in the industry seems to. He also never calls girls bitches... crazy right?
Word, I didn't realize it until you pointed it out but there was something different about it! How could you tell it was 5/4 though? I tried to count out 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 and none of them sounded right.
This is truly a masterpiece! I'm proud to say HipHop will connect even more and more with the flow of Jazz with new time signatures and rhyme patterns. Its actually mad exciting to see someone do a 5/4 beat and rap over it so well. It sounds like modern day Hip Hop!!
Oddisee is so talented, one of my favorite MCs, truly deserves more recognition but I'm so glad he's stuck to his guns and is committed to Hip Hop in its purest form.
It's good to see Oddisee getting the recognition he deserves. I first heard of him 5 years ago and the first two songs that had me interested in him were "Hip Hop's Cool Again" and "In the Ruff". His music just continues to grow and I like the fact that he continues to excel at what he does.
Besides the fact that ODDISEE's production is top notch on many levels; this Brubeck-esque feel is EVERYTHING. I agree with the group the use of the ODD time signature was - just so classic. #Kudos
He is the most underrated and overlooked rapper/producer in hip hop. It frustrates me with all the trash that's around in hip hop at the moment that is so prominent, yet talents like Oddisee don't get recognised enough. Respect man, this new album is so dope!
Need more of this kind of music, we been missing this for so long and only a few bring something like this to the table. Listened to this at least 4 times now since I found it.
Malcolm Quest yeah man I check it out it's dope. Real unique and has that feel good vibe you can just kick it to. Gotta message you sending man keep working and you'll get theee you on the way I subscribed too
12 years ago I bought a DJ Jazzy Jeff album in search of a sound I hadn't heard. Didn't know what it was but my soul yearned for it. I knew there was a better quality of music out there within my reach and it tore at me until I found your song Musik Lounge. When the pain in my heart tightens it's grip true music is the balm. thank you isn't enough for those who willing to share their souls, their flaws, and their humanity with us. And 5/4 time is stupid dope son. Stupid dope.
Honesty, I was kind of iffy on this track at first. Felt the flow he used didn't really fit, but it quickly grew on me. The way he flowed seemed to fit in perfectly after my third listen, and Oddisee has once again proved why he is my second favorite rapper. Would give him first, but Blu has been in that spot since 2006 lol
It seemed off at first to you cause your ears are probably just used to hearing people rap at the standard 4/4 time signature. If you ever learn how to play drums you'll discover some pretty interesting and rare grooves at different time signatures
How many mainstream artists are musically literate enough to rap to a 5/4 meter? I'm kinda late on Oddisee but I just downloaded this album a couple days ago and haven't stopped listening to it. He gets all my respect
This Is DOPE!!! And Yes This Is A 5/4 Tempo Signature. That's Creativity!!! I Composed A Beat In The Same Tempo Signature To. I Love It!!! Great Music.
Facts! Everyone is living their own truth, or are we living according to what truth is. Which is we are cursed cause our forefathers turned from the MOST HIGH's law statutes and commandments Deuteronomy 28:15-68. So that answered your first two questions, our end game is YASHAYA HA MASHAYACH ( OUR SAVIOR THE ANOINTED) Romans 6:20-22, 14:11, 5:18 Exodus 20:3, 34:7. Deuteronomy 7:6-9! My brother Philippians 2:12 is our end game. We are living in Daniels 12:11! I pray FATHER keeps you under HIS hedge of protection! Shalam ahch!
I always call bullshit when i see comment on videos sayin "they're so underrated" but this is actually true, he got some solid lyrical content that i havent heard in any artist yet
Just recently, my ears have been blessed to hear something new, at least to me, and authentic. I must say, I am impressed by his subject matter and content. I went on Google Play and downloaded the new album along with a couple of old ones and mixtapes. All are entitled to their own opinion, but if you've ever been through anything and plan on go somewhere in your own personal life, you know and understand where he is coming from. He's letting you know, 1. you're not alone in your travels, 2. long as YOU believe in your path and goals, its all that matters.
Lol I've never even Heard of this cat...decided I'd search Google Music today for some dope music I'm STARVED for (Sorry Kendrick fans..Butterfly wasnt my kup-_- Lupe was decent tho -_^ Anywayyyy..) I happen on this dudes album? "WHOOO TF is this and why have I not heard of him?!!" Ya got my 10 buddy, keep it comin.
Oddisee should have blown up a long time ago. One of the most slept on artist's in the game.
SO TRUE
GeminiEye1 True, but I respect him more as an artist for not really worrying about it. Staying true to the music, and being okay with not being blown up like that.
I just hope the blow up doesn't turn his amazing music into fake music about just doing drugs and fucking hoes. Like most popular rappers these day.
Nathan Dupler You can still blow up without turning into a sell out. Look at Chance The Rapper, Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar. Hip Hop/Rap is changing. People are tired of hearing that same old bullshit on the radio.

Hol' up! Did Oddisee just rap in 5/4?! That's what I'm talking about. Push the envelope bro!
Word, I didn't realize it until you pointed it out but there was something different about it! How could you tell it was 5/4 though? I tried to count out 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 and none of them sounded right.
The open hi hat and the main bass notes land on beat 1. From that point you can count 5 beats until the next open hi hat and main bass note.
But there's a measure of 8 right before the hook. Oddisee is insane!
Hes done it before. Thats why his style is so unique.
Brandon Meeks I don't know what you talking about but the the song is mad cool
This is truly a masterpiece! I'm proud to say HipHop will connect even more and more with the flow of Jazz with new time signatures and rhyme patterns. Its actually mad exciting to see someone do a 5/4 beat and rap over it so well. It sounds like modern day Hip Hop!!
Hey! I'm a piano composer and producer. Feel free to check out my work on my channel. Thanks so much and have a beautiful day!
Takes true skill set to rhyme over this time signature!
dude is mad underrated
Jinzzy try to listen to Buckethead’s Counter Clockwise and you’ll see who’s really underrated.
Oddisee is so talented, one of my favorite MCs, truly deserves more recognition but I'm so glad he's stuck to his guns and is committed to Hip Hop in its purest form.
Oddisee is the definition of an Artist. He's just 1 of the most creative individuals i've ever heard. Period. Very inspiring.
One of the best instrumentals I’ve ever heard.
Elevator music, hip hop edition.
Shoutout to my music nerds who love that it’s in 5/8 too! Only adds to the “counting!” 😁
5/4 time signature! I've rarely seen this in rap music
Very well done. Proper visuals for a dope track. Standing "O".
Substantial Still waiting on you and Oddisee to share verses on a track.
Brandon Burrel you know that shit bruh!

I have all of his work. extremely talented and extremely slept on. loving the new album
Need more of this kind of music, we been missing this for so long and only a few bring something like this to the table.
Listened to this at least 4 times now since I found it.
I really like how he gives an actual description of his work in the description.
Vito Trippin' Do you mind checking out my music?
Malcolm Quest yeah man I check it out it's dope. Real unique and has that feel good vibe you can just kick it to. Gotta message you sending man keep working and you'll get theee you on the way I subscribed too
Still here bro. This song is timeless. I do not remember how I found ya, but glad I did.
Would love 2 see a collaboration between him and J.Cole
I don't know why!! But sure they gonna kill it like dayyyyyymn
Love some Oddisee :) Talented
"If fire's all you have then water meets your match"
Plus he's another laid back cutie :)
Good art here!
Music & visuals are incredible in every way & on every level. Incredible! Just incredible!

Oddisee is doing big things for hip-hop - the album is gonna be wild for sure. Definitely going to his show
***** i agree!! check out my song if u can i would appreciate that (:
***** lol Fred stop hating
***** I saw him in STL a few months back. Fucking fantastic show. Definitely go.
***** No Frederic this is real hip hop.
This guy should be famous.
Honesty, I was kind of iffy on this track at first. Felt the flow he used didn't really fit, but it quickly grew on me.

Would give him first, but Blu has been in that spot since 2006 lol
Nice! Odd n Blu are definitely towards the top for me too. Great minds think a like
I think blu n oddisee should could collab. big fan of blu here but he sucks live haha
LeonAffiliated Good live rap performers are few and far between
It seemed off at first to you cause your ears are probably just used to hearing people rap at the standard 4/4 time signature. If you ever learn how to play drums you'll discover some pretty interesting and rare grooves at different time signatures
This dude will always SLAM With the Goodness!!!!!
This video is genius. You have so much talent Oddisee. You and the people you work with.
this beat and the metric is so interesting, MAD love!!!!
How many mainstream artists are musically literate enough to rap to a 5/4 meter? I'm kinda late on Oddisee but I just downloaded this album a couple days ago and haven't stopped listening to it. He gets all my respect
zero. the answer is zero
There are a few hip-hop songs in 6/8, though, such as Gang Starr’s “Stay Tuned.” Peace.
Top notch creativity at it’s finest! Big up to Oddisee!

This Is DOPE!!! And Yes This Is A 5/4 Tempo Signature. That's Creativity!!! I Composed A Beat In The Same Tempo Signature To. I Love It!!! Great Music.
Amazing drum break! Sounds a lot like the visoneers' "hip know cypher."
Reeeeeally nice
Dope. Listened to The Good Fight yesterday: definitely gonna be in the top 10 or even top 5 albums of 2015.
This is beautiful. This brotha also got me thinking what is life? What's our purpose? Why we struggling? What's our end game our legacy?
