Please rate this video so I know what ya think

[@Gexpro.]

i was born in Minneapolis, On Franklin Ave South. "back then when Franklin ave was still pretty". i grew up around this music everyday, all day. much respect to ali & Sean. Reppin Rhymesayers, the record label with the best MC's that walk on this Planet..

[@afreeman69]

They ripped it up! 100% without no gimmicks the way Hip-Hop shows should be done.

[@Remscar]

I love that song. LET WHEELS SPIN! LET THE ROOF SHAKE! LET THE SPEAKERS BLOW!

[@Krazycougar22]

First off Very nice video! Ok, People you all need to know this... Hip Hop will never die! even if Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy are in mainstream. Everyone is still speaking the Slang and sagging their pants. No matter what hip hop will always be alive. -Love Brother Ali and Atmosphere.

[@infiniteknowledge515]

Cats Van Bags Yooooooooooooooooooooo Definatly one of my favorites rhyme scheme is sick

[@regularasselo]

let the wheels spin let the room shake let the speakers blow!!!!! let the line in let the kids play let the ppl know!!!!!!

[@mmmBRIAAN]

People are ignorant saying just because people are discovered they are sellouts or now they suck. As long as their lyrics keep the original meaning and they don't become someone they are not, they are still the amazing group we discovered. So all the people talking shit about being discovered all that means is that Hip-hop is being resurrected, and deafening the sounds that killed it .

[@versitalex]

Exactly, I saw 'anniversary' and automatically thought of the one I was at.

[@killingfloor70]

two fucking awsome performers on the same stage, pure and simple

[@TriumphParadox]

[@versitalex]

It was at First Ave in Minneapolis, I was there.

[@Durglas]

"Lock eyes with a 1000 people at the same time" 7 days till I see them in Omaha.

[@nathanperrier]

I was there, most amazing performance by Rhymesayers collective every. Best song in my opinion was Slug with an old school ball cap on with Beyond doing "b.l.a.k. culture". Never seen that live before.

[@MSUBozangelas]

Sound Set 08, i cant wait

[@Angelgg99]

Legendary shit right here.

[@YakThaWiseman72]

I agree the Crowd Iz all into it!!

[@FredUAW]

[@kitchellmlooster]

slug announced a couple days ago that he will be doing a tour with ali and doing a collaboration with him probably out in about a year. kinda similar to what he did with murs with Felt.

[@wuba777]

uber dope indeed

[@SNoCappidona]

[@mindstormd]

[@atm0sph]

who gives a f*ck what slug does, hes dope as shit and will always be beacause he has the best rhymes and ant makes the best beats, its straight up feel good music

[@versitalex]

Oops, was thinking of the Rhymesayers anniversary show. Obviously didn't look close enough.

[@MrE517]

FUCK!!! INCREDIBLE

[@BenevolentXMachine]

Atmosphere is a crew that includes Slug as the Emcee and Ant as the producer. They are ill, check out Overcast.

[@AKasper47]

its called cats van bags by atmosphere of the cd sevens travels

[@leslucas]

Key word is Incorporated. 'chillin' didnt come from hip hop, and you would be surprised, but a lot of the hip-hop slang didn't even originate there. Hell, baggy pants didn't even start there. They popularized those things for sure, but they haven't even done that in a positive light recently.

[@relativepatient]

FUCK YES i do my best to take advantage and bounce! with ONE hand over the mouth and still managing to shout!

[@lomf]

slug and ali and dope now but this show woulda been mad dope!!!!!

[@hemptime123]

[@mercedesdoctor]

brother ali

[@Wizardofdiss]

word

[@FuckYouDie]

Seven's Travels album is the shit.

[@ptoutant]

Again, nice list. Can't say I agree with having Eminem higher than Heiro either. Del smokes Eminem all by himself.

[@TinyJiant]

@JoeSRH Educate me please. What is the pinnacle of hip-hop rap right now? If whatever you name-check is on the radio there is a greater than 99% chance you are wrong.

[@exacizzle]

track list plz

[@Bigbanglocal]

just to fuck with your guard dog

[@Remscar]

Slug looks kinda high in this, i bet this might be one of the times he got piss loaded drink before going on stage or a few too many joints.

[@mercedesdoctor]

and last time i checked yez and compltly arent in the dictionary

[@Metalfacejoel]

second track name?

[@Doostpan]

whats the name of the second song?

[@SirSledgeHammah]

[@Dogmatix2]

where is this?

[@killingfloor70]

..wu tang?...busta is still pretty sick in my opinion

[@holymahogny]

I agree on everything you wrote except what you said about em. I'm no em-fan but "white america" is a seriusly good song that does'nt bash all white people. it critizises "the man" and the way many whites in america acts and thinks. with that said..go ali!;)

[@brumster01]

Sweet,tune is phat live,thanks for the upload,i have the CD tune in my videos check it out if anyones intrested.

[@mechefske]

any form of argument claimin lil wayne to be 'real hip hop' is hilarious in itself. he's one of the many nowadays that's responsible for killin hip hop (i dont even wanna use that term in his regard, but so far there has been no new title/genre that lil wayne could properly fit into)

[@PaypahClip]

thumbs up for a 5 stars comment!

[@JoeSRH]

rhymsayers rappers are pretty good. some of them are very talented but if u believe that this is the pinnacle of hip hop/rap community then u are sadly mistaken

[@uroskulica]

Hardcore, huh? Tell you later. It's off the Atmosphere album...

[@mercedesdoctor]

just because someones mom is black dosent mean his dad is

[@Cerabix]

@S1W2E3D Cats Van Bags

[@Bigbanglocal]

:52

[@syst3ms]

cats van bags

[@FloggingMel]

if u don't give this 5 stars, well heck, u probably have problems with simple shiit like sitting down or eating food with a fork

[@exacizzle]

.........

[@11bravo]

I was listening to Atmosphere in 1999 and I have been Black all my life and I'll match my skills in English against your any day.

[@meatwad6003]

Cats van bags

[@Cerabix]

@jh73980 Blah Blah Blah

[@falck44]

@jh73980 blah blah blah-brother ali

[@powderedwaterpudding]

That's not a very enlightened comment. True hip-hop isn't confined within the concept of "race" - it rebels against it. Race is a construct of domineering cultures, and is very different from ethnicity. If you're trying to distinguish Ali and Slug from "African-American" hip-hop, check what Rakim has to say about Ali at watch?v=ot72tellorA . I'm not gonna hate on you like most KZbin flamewar kids, but don't think like America wants you to think. Think for yourself.

[@mercedesdoctor]

right and people who listen to cypress hill, which is studio bullshit music about hits from the bong and shooting people, are obviously more intellegent. brother ali's, slug's, sage francis's, and many other underground artists actually have heart in their music and meaning. cypress hill.. has cars with hydraulics in their music video's and stupid shit like that to boost their EGOS!

[@antny336]

really, all your life? i didnt turn black until i was like 7

[@mercedesdoctor]

anyways the next comment you post on this page i will completly ignore, ill delete the email and anything you say wont be heard have a nice day sweety

[@kingofqueens83]

what i dont understand is why thats the first thought out of you peoples mouths. i am not nor have i rapped or spat rhymes against someone else in some sad little battle. thats not my thing. much like its not sean daleys either.

[@pandaboi56]

Wow. Thanks for sharing but nobody asked.

[@mercedesdoctor]

you spelled damaged wrong and im actually a european specialty mechanic, i work on beemers, porsches, jaguars, alfa romeos, mercedes and it goes on even if i cared that i spelled some words wrong to someone i will never know, my spelling will never matter in my carrer and cant you come up with something more original than talking out of my ass, i think ive heard that like 3 times now

[@helltroll]

slug is acting weird...

[@regularasselo]

cats van bags blah blah blah

[@onemanarmyasonrip]

blah blah blah
