Cannibal Ox - Def Jux documentary (Complete part 1)

This little Dutch documentary is about Defintive Jux. Futuring Vast aire, El-P and Aesop Rock. Finally found the full version!

[@InkTechnique]

You be like "Ah, Vast Aire is dropping a verse", and then realize "oh okay, he was just talking, alright."

[@qualmsone8308]

Lmaooo

[@juansakura2868]

hahahahah damn straight, I thought the same thing, bruh has groove even talking

[@alfredobadillo2415]

This comment always makes me laugh cause it's true. Haha.

[@Vandalio_Saez]

The dopest M.C'S Rap like they Talk 🤣🤣🤣

[@AG-uj1cp]

I think the coolest thing about all of this, is that the production and whole feel of The Cold Vein and Def Jux in general, really reflects in this documentary. Like, this is exactly how I picture the whole recording process. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of dudes with a creative outlet. The fucking old staticy TV and Blade Runner posters just encapsulate that whole Def Jux vibe.

[@asr1083]

Album is amazing no question.

[@Eagles4life221]

Dirty Bubble Eats Ass Yes! That’s what makes Definitive Jux so legendary.

[@shotbyfabi]

Nothing will ever top this era. It makes me incredibly happy that I lived through it but also depressed that it's gone just like that.

[@cstarcrusher]

still plenty of pockets around percolating with this energy.. but i feel you broski

[@Dronekingdom999]

Something better is on its way.

[@SamC-fd4sj]

I lived through it and was heavily into Def Jux as it was happening but I still feel like I missed it.

[@ZackMorris32]

Yeah it breaks my heart man.

[@TRUUTAH60559]

Hahaha no it’s not.

[@TheCarrots101]

Vast Aire has the most awesome voice.

[@AG-uj1cp]

+TheCarrots101 I want him to narrate my life.

[@BlackGear614]

I wanna here him in an anime.

[@Moments.like.these.]

The high calm voice

[@KtotheG]

He realizes that it's mostly about the voice.

[@socillizt4life]

That’s facts.So DOPE for that lazy style

[@DCKINGVDAGOAT]

One day the world will appreciate the BRILLIANCE of Cannibal Ox "Cold Vein" album....know that age old question of if you were stuck on an island, which 5 albums would you want to have? Cold Vein is not only of the albums I'd pick, its probably the first one that I'd pick.....

[@mesaoneCCK]

Even off the microphone, Vast Aire has this metronome behind his voice. I've never heard anyone that talks with as much rhythm as he does.

[@KtotheG]

DMX

[@OfSoundShades]

@@KtotheG & Busta Rhymes

[@kenspliffey420]

he feels his heart, the natural metronome

[@nickbagelboy]

Im actually in such "awe" of the way Vast Aire talks. He pronounces every syllable of each word. It sounds almost illiterate at first but then you realize how "literate" it really is. Never seen or heard that before. Kinda mind blowing.

[@ykms2058]

nickbagelboy i knew im not the only one

[@Sektion9]

This is such a damn good hip hop documentary. It's a shame most people will never know about this gem.

[@melo4087]

Foreal!

[@omari_104]

thats 6 videos in a row that i see you in the comment section. are we best friends now? lol

[@melo4087]

Breezy Dominant • Rap Artist • Producer bro you are officially now a best friend of mine! Not that many people find me in old def jux videos! You got a twitter we can take this to? I prefer talking there lol

[@femka]

this and "Life is Easy" from sage are pretty great.

[@dontsettlefor500mill]

ah, no, its not. its mine!

[@Trollois]

damn, vast aire sound like hes rapping just by the way he talks

[@brain.in.a.body.]

That group freestyle was incredible

[@Notyourbroseph]

This documentary along with the whole Cold Vein album changed my life and approach to rapping about 10 years ago when I first discovered it. I can't thank these guys enough for giving me a reason to keep on keeping even at my lowest. Long live dope music and real MC's. 🤘

[@The3rdGunman]

How he gonna say the beats are kind of Whack...Then thrown on some straight fire!!!!?

[@melo4087]

I was like dam! That's heat!

[@bradengreen8731]

Thank god somebody was like "lets do a documentary"

[@Warrentertainment]

that cypher was out of this world. imagine the freestyles we never saw.

[@dcpigpen]

i could listen to vast aire talk all day long.

[@sUiZiDs]

Vast has such a nice chilled voice hes speakin so clearly..

[@azandamsimang989]

[@Fluxwithit]

[@DogsCatsSnacks]

[@burgavo]

[@WizDomSon]

This is so dope. The beginnings of multiple underground legends.

[@rowdyproudy2242]

Why am I just finding this now? Long live Cannibal Ox.

[@44murdoc]

[@darkgraff17]

“They are kinda whack” then proceeded to play the illest beat anybodys ever heard lmao

[@44murdoc]

[@mosdefgza2009]

[@EntropyAcolyte]

Vast Aire has such and cartoony and slow voice

[@ferskvaredisken5978]

[@carthief6460]

[@djdz8322]

cannibal really likes that beat

[@sawssman965]

[@eLmarciano87]

[@Fludered]

[@bskdopeboy]

3:18 man, I've been there so many times hahahaha

[@DjKimsey]

Def Jukies 4 life!!!!!

[@dallinferguson994]

The beat at 2:17 gets stuck in my head. Anyone know where I can find it?

[@jourdanbrasil9890]

True artist

[@gepettowins]

pretty weird to think about the intro where el is trolling the interviewer about the end of the world, when you consider 9/11 was about to happen soon when this was filmed. The way El and Vast talk about and exist in new york reflects this feeling that the house of cards is about to fall. Of course El-P has addressed in interviews the shit on fan dam that sounds like it predicted 9/11 etc. But when you see the footage and hear the music it really feels heavy, like the sky's about to fall

[@gepettowins]

like think about the fact that when they're talking about school shootings, they hadn't even experienced hearing about multiple mass shootings in a WEEK.

[@TheNinja94a]

@@gepettowins It really just sounds like they red from philosophers and theorists. Marx predicted how the breakdown of capitalist society would happen. Parenti talked about the sins of America. There's this point where everyone in the past 200 years has been reading the writing on the wall, and we're experiencing the beginning of the end.

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

He was saying that cause this was January 2002, 3 months after 9/11 yo lol

[@gepettowins]

@@Thrashman-ye4cf ah i didn't notice that. still, El-P at least spoke extensively in an interview about making 90% of Fan Dam before 9/11 and, when it released after the attack, having people think various lines were references to it. So maybe El-p in particular was already on some Phillip K. Dick dystopian future tip, but I think my point is Cann Ox was already on a similar but slightly different tip with regard to how they made music about NYC and that's why it's so eerie that they came out around 9/11. I mean that energy Vast is talking about comes through in the music for sure, which was probably largely if not completely written before this interview came out.

[@Diffusionality]

Their music is ill but they all look so depressed ... shit

[@shadowxiii3537]

yoooo that freestyle was fucking sick lol

[@The_Primary_Axiom]

Does anyone else know of any more of these videos of copywrite, cage, el-p, vast air all them cats?

[@AllEine777]

I need the hole documentary in a good quality, i dont want to rip it ... can someone please help me out?

[@glorifiedrhymes8338]

5:27- 6:10 is the truth...vast is the Truth!

[@secretcountry]

It seemed like Vast really wanted to. He should too.

[@coolcat1813]

omg, what's that sample at 03:15???

[@brandonmccullum]

"YALL LY-IN"

[@nickbagelboy]

No way!!!! Really?? How'd you find that out?? :o Thats so sick though!! Like, sick that he can still manage to be one of the greatest lyricists of all time!! Living proof that you can be whoever you want, regardless of what you have.

[@lotus11668]

Okay I've changed my mind, I'm in love with El P.

[@user-vx2yg2vm7g]

i cant fucking belive i just found this

[@EntropyAcolyte]

14:17 is that asuka from NGE in the background :o

[@breezetha27]

Frank The Bunny most likely

[@atwarwithsatan27]

EL-P is the MAN

[@aftathort]

Oh Snap JestOneArt!

[@SurgeCess]
