Apollo Brown & Skyzoo - "A Couple Dollars (feat. Joell Ortiz)" | Official Video

[@The-Enigma-S7]

This melody is like hip hop therapy

[@linusfridemark7634]

ahhh,, you never knew?

[@buckroger25586]

When it comes to hip hop this is all I ask for ...good music, lyrics I can understand, and smooth ass beats.

[@southerncalifornia970]

Simple request!

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

agreed

[@David_USC]

Yup, it ain't that complicated.

[@kedurham226]

makes life better

[@LowKeyDee1620]

exactly my man

[@KingShadow_87]

Apollo Brown's beats are like God's blessin', mad respect!

[@sonzalez]

"If I'm making something that doesn't have feeling then I'm throwing it away 'cause it has to take me somewhere. It has to be kind of like a backdrop for reflection." -Apollo Brown

[@fothermucka5280]

Ahtnamas2 I never knew he said that but I've thought the same thing any time I listen to his shit.. can feel it too strong

[@gabrielmartins1242]

FACTS.! BROSKI

[@irvens6143]

Skyzoo, not Kendrick, is the role model for hip hop right now. Probably one of Apollo best beats.

[@hiiipoweriii2211]

I fuck with Kendrick but they are completely two different styles of rap tho. Kendrick is Westcoast & Skyzoo is N.Y. boombap rap.

[@hiddenking4840]

Agree …he brought the “feelin” back…Kendrick is cool on a commercial level …honestly to me he’s highly overrated…..but he’s dope ….this something specific right here …this is that stuff that touch your ribs….

[@s.i2898]

Agreed.

[@nabilster]

This is how Hip Hop is supposed to be !

[@coleymoley2997]

Apollo is actually crazy with beats, one of the best oat

[@broaddaylight123]

Apollo always diggin into ur soul with those beats,crazy. One of the greatest of all time for me.

[@s.i2898]

Simply one of best hip hop tracks of the 2010s. Sky killed this.

[@anthonynjie1209]

This is one of those features I didn't see coming... Skyzoo × Joel Ortiz Geeeeese🔥🔥🔥

[@fysalides1]

This masterpiece should have some millions views up to now... The full album is a true diamond ..diamonds are forever! Hip hop is not my favorite but pay my respect to these guys.Very emotional

[@mdeutsch6759]

Glad this isn't mainstream....Real people like real music

[@dmx1721]

their was a time for mainstream but for awhile its been trash

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

this beat gives me chills every time. like actual goosebumps all over the skin

[@JB_Photog]

Same

[@balukumatebhere4289]

This ish deserves way more views. Been a skyzoo fan since day 1. shout outs all the way from South Africa

[@MrTwizz908]

Video is tight... I'm loving this album right now... this is what's needed. Skyzoo/Apollo Brown/Conway the Machine/ Westside Gunn/Planet Asia/Meyhem Lauren/Action Bronson/Alchemist/Black Milk/etc.... keep this sound in rotation..... let the sheeple keep their noise... this is for us!!!!

[@norfgang411]

Dam this beat gives me goosebumps.. Skyzoo and ortiz murdered this track, but I expected nothing less than poetry on a soul grooving cadence..

[@DomeStik-he2gn]

Oh God. Im crying like seeing a long lost friend. Guys. You better PR. The world needs this. WORD

[@DomeStik-he2gn]

Just hover over the timeline. No dip. Re Release this.

[@clocktowernewsstation2415]

This is the best rap song written in the last 15 years at least.

[@ninjasrose1653]

Honestly one of the best beats I have EVER heard in my life and I am old school. I ain't a MASSIVE Zoo fan. But I can't really think of many that could of rode that beat better than him in this moment. You could tell it hit his soul fully and he went ALL the way in!!!

[@kingsnqueenspodcast]

I luv the route Ortiz took after Slaughterhouse...he is a fiend for lo-fi and boombap. Hip-hop is slowly and surely going back to the roots. Shout-out to Skyzoo and Apoll Brown for holding the lamp.

[@jimmygreaves1]

been listening to this track in London almost every day. lyrical content and melody are on fucking point! real hip hop for real hip hop heads.

[@tulleydlamini1576]

this is what we miss, music for the soul

[@KAIZENTECHNOLOGIES]

this could have been a classic in the 90's

[@TremorGoW]

it is a classic from 2016

[@abelnandza4828]

The Easy Truth, one of best albums i have ever listened

[@AmaZment717]

Love this track man....Skyzoo and Joell make a good duo...kinda like him and Torae when they did Barrel Brothers LP....This is the Apollo I love too....Skyzoo is a lyrical wizard and when it comes to picking beats he's got a good ear

[@stickzmahoney1490]

Two criminally underrated MC's killing shit. Still dope in 2019.

[@elfanaticorojo74llorente]

2023❤

[@aashta03]

The man knows how to perfectly blend synth and classical instruments! No mistaking the Apollo Brown sound

[@thegreenroom5820]

When I really want to exercise my mind and expand my vision I go to the underground. This entire album was literally breath taking. I pray we get a part 2.

[@ericqualley6764]

Album of the year. With substance like this how can people listen to the BS that be comin out

[@HamzaAbubakarJ]

I wonder.

[@southjerseysfinest]

Eric Qualley more & more i listen 2 this album the more i agree wit what u said b.i still got a slight edge 2 torae & masta ace albums,but that may change.✌

[@ericqualley6764]

+southjerseysfinest 💯💯💯

[@gdiggedy9]

+Eric Qualley Word! And then some people act like J. Cole is the only person capable of making songs with any substance.

[@jamestech4463]

The Underground is where the quality is,J.Cole is good in comparison to his peers in the mainstream....he would be much further down the line in the underground circles though.....hip hop is alive if you know where to look.

[@khristianpeel7165]

Man, this is Hip-Hop.

[@PiLLO360]

Khristian Peel nigga this shit ass!! 🥵

[@DeeOne88]

@@PiLLO360 It's not your fault your momma raised you on Nicki Minaj, now all you know is shake yo ass music.

[@PiLLO360]

Dan The Man I’m a dude.

[@ronnieg1341]

That’s what I’m saying it’s 2020 I’m just now hearing about dude he nice 🔥🔥

[@realdeal139]

Joey murdered it !!

[@tafariali-alkebulan3325]

Joell 🔥🔥🔥with the NY truth inside the skillful wordplay, if he wouldve dropped in the '90s he'd be as celebrated as BIG and Pun💯

[@cj2537]

This combination is gets the knockout. Tuff Work Sky, Apollo, and my man Joel

[@neehiii]

FEELIN' this. How can ANYONE who listens to hip hop not? Flow.

[@1BergerVongSchlauigkeitHer]

I'll end up commenting this on every one of his videos but Apollo Brown makes the absolutely dopest beats.

[@jwizdum2103]

No major pages are gonna say it...but Apollo Brown is on Madlibs level of production in the game in terms of just creating tracks for lyrical rappers, you're guranteed to have allllll gold if you're doing an album with Apollo, truly one of the greatest to ever live

[@coolestcutezulufairy]

I really don't know why this guy is not at the top and on the mainstream rotation

[@dlandbrug7438]

THIS is Hip-Hop ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🔥

[@SN.Warrior]

Apollo is amazing. Greetings from Colombia.

[@Denmarkone]

Joell's verse fucking impresses every damn time!

[@RealAndTrueHipHop]

Apollo is a God...

[@TheDavid111089]

These two together will make a dope Super Group. Both have experience with making collab albums. Both from BK. It has to be done.

[@thabolazarus5954]

This joint is like an anthem a sound track to my life

[@JahRandom]

Got damn..Apollo is 1000% top 5, if not the #1 producer of right now. I'd say he's in my top 5 of all time. That's a difficult list to narrow down to just 5; there are probably at least 20 who are damned close to top 5 of all time status, in my book. But Apollo definitively gets in my top 5 list of all time bc I don't think I have _ever_ heard a track of his that I don't absolutely *_LOVE_*

[@harielll5028]

Such a good artpiece everything is perfect the video,the beat the lyrics...Skyzoo a real artist of our time period.

[@BoChosen]

Heatrocks... Respect to all involved.

[@kylestewart3744]

still listen to this daily, feel good hip hop, not enough of this, anything Apollo brown touches is gold. best part is you need to know, to know, grown music.

[@kylestewart3744]

When your 2 favourite hip hop artists and your favourite producer make a song.., just pure pure hip hop.

[@DopeDecibel]

Apollo Brown is a BEAST! The production is beyond amazing! Sky and Joell bodied it too! Dope ass album

[@BoldenFMA]

This dude should be a superstar. He's definitely the best hip hop artist out NYC in the last 10 years.

[@_2_first_names]

Skyzoo NEVER disappoints!!

[@fothermucka5280]

don't even need bars over apollos shit his beats tell a story in them self.. something else man that's why I rate him as the best

[@rapliker274]

Violin in this beat so amazing Apollo...

[@DuranFlims]

Apollo browns to underrated but as long as he keeps making music it's all good

[@Doubleup21]

One of the best songs ever made!

[@willywill48]

"The Cut!!".... Skyzoo your a Class Act Bruh!! Appreciate all of LOVE you showed them Boys From The Midwest....The DYT!! Much Love for your Music!!.... TRD Media Source... PEACE...........

[@eugenetikato7086]

[@Sumfortyan]

Proper Hip-Hop. Much respect from Paris - France.

[@ностромов]

*rap

[@0hnoNYC]

I'll admit.. for YEARS I slept.. on Sky.. not saying I didn't recognize he was nice.. but I was napping on the boy... Thank you lawd for opening my ears and delivering me the real! Albeit there will be another old me that will come into this thread and hit the snooze button on these juggernauts of rap

[@Texxet11]

The string instrument(s) used on this beat...spot on. It only elevates this song to another level.

[@jwizdum2103]

I'm just glad his fans realize that Apollo is truly something special, literally just as good as Alchemist, Madlib or whoever. If not better.

[@realraphead1016]

....real recognize real... cant describe whut i feel when i bump that joint.. is a fking lyfesava!

[@ronash5163]

GOD-BLESSED......BREATHE OF "Fresh Air," REAL HIP-HOP.......☆☆☆☆☆ MUSIC !!!!!

[@juwanross8237]

Skyzoo is the best rapper right now.

[@jessegonzalez6929]

[@juwanross8237]

[@ronash4681]

Juwan Ross = BOTTOM Freakin Line.....SKYZOO. .......Leader of the "FUTURE" OF "REAL" HIP-HOP, PERIOD.🔱
