Common Market "Trouble Is" Music Video

[@SkyBlew]

*Classic!* This whole album is absolutely incredible! It has helped me many times in my life.. The music Common Market creates, is truly one of a kind. Same for Blue Scholars. Thank you for the timeless music 😊🙏🏾 Peace & Love 💙✌🏾🎨⛅

[@GrimSingmuf]

Straight up.

[@raoulhery]

I hope Sabzi bring the groups back in the studio....

[@kasperk679]

Big fan of Common market and blue scholars here from Holland!

[@Koney2011]

3 hours ago didn't even now that common market exists. Now one of my favorite bands :)

[@GrimSingmuf]

Bless up!

[@TheFlowNova]

With his type of voice, he can just flow for hours. Never stop. Not one break. It's just CONSTANT flow and material. HAVE to respect that. LongLiveUnderground

[@evanbryant7945]

Hes gotta pay his respects to Talib for his cadence and sound. Its uncanny

[@R3KTANGL3]

this guy's voice doesnt do justice to how badass he looks. iv heard him many a times and never realized he looked so brolic. he makes for one hard looking country boy

[@MrKenjin38]

i'm french, and i love this guy !! France loves this guy !!

[@evanbryant7945]

Tout le monde

[@Airospvce]

I cannot stop listening to this.

[@FatAlbert917]

Woah just checked out your channel after all this time. Honored to get a response from someone that's close to this extremely talented artist. Tell'em to keep cranking out the music, he still has fans! (even here on Whidbey Island)

[@RileyHull]

Common Market represent. Doin it up for Washington! That's my boy

[@afreeman69]

This video is tight,and his CD is off the chain without question!!!

[@BoolishMedia]

One is born and dies a Djeli. One is a Djeli from father to son, from grand father to father; from mother to daughter, from grandmother to mother. The Djeli is the inseparable link between the being and the spirit, between the woman or man and her or his history, between society and its vivifying blood. What we now call an MC/DJ, is nothing else than a surviving legacy of this sacred ancestral West African tradition born into a New World.

[@moonshadow100]

wow. beats, rhythms, catchy shit. Who knew you could still find this?! thank you internets!

[@BoolishMedia]

My young children, simmer down. There is but one of me and many of you who showed up for class today so allow me due time to address each one of your grievances. I feel privileged to be the source of inspiration for such lively dialogue. You have all provided me with much entertainment and I thank you for that.

[@Feelin2nice]

I love the beginning of this video. So true.

[@BoolishMedia]

The djeli is a story-teller, poet, historian, philosopher, genealogist, and the archive of his or her people's traditions. The Djeli is a messenger, a broadcaster of good and bad news whether baptism, wedding, fetes, meeting, assembly, death, or war. S/he is also a troubadour who with a drum under arm carries the news from village to village. She or he performs the role of the radio, telephone, and television. The djeli profession is inherited, passed on from one generation to the next.

[@ethanflakeiscool]

a true looking seattle resident!! i love common market

[@achievementjunkie]

Just got Tobacco Road yesterday I wss blown away, dope ass album nice to see Seattle dropping quality material

[@SolBrutha]

Radio, Bet, MTV..... Not ready for this; nor Blue Scholars. Too much thought put into these verses for these knuckleheads that they pander to! I'm blown away!

[@TisDiablo]

love his music, and the clip is beautiful! gonna check out Chris Bell right away!

[@BoolishMedia]

Let us begin with the voice and rhythm of so called Hip-Hop and where it originated from in West Africa, to no coincidence where the bulk of Africans were accosted and brought here as slaves. In West African culture you have a lineage of both males and females who played the traditional role of what's known as a griot or djeli. Djeli's held the memory of their people in their hearts, preserving history through a vast repertoire of richly detailed chronicles set to music.

[@SURtifiediLL]

one of the best videos i've seen this year.

[@slumme]

He quite possibly has the best beard in history.

[@BLowe12Productions]

Zia Mohajerjasbi's a lighting genius

[@aechdot]

THIS IS VERY!!!!! CREATIVE

[@cyphaflip]

Dope as always. Ra Scion's beard looks like it was chiseled out of wood!

[@cuspie]

Wow, M. This is fantastic!

[@Morfeusm]

This man is like THIS IS SPARTAAAA!

[@FuckYeahBra]

its hustle biz, what the trouble is? thats what i say to my parents when they question my stacks..... This man is a musical gem.

[@dulaomnagala]

Awesome music video and song! i dont know if they meant to but the wad went from 50's to 20's.

[@rasdub]

Big Up Common Market, everytime!

[@crazeemunky]

... i couldn't stop boppin' :D

[@fromsoutheastwitlove]

The barber shop scene got me rollin.. Hahaha.. Good stuff

[@BoolishMedia]

It can only be authenticated by the transfer of bloodlines and DNA. No one but the African is qualified enough to speak of what it means to be African but the African. Everyone else only speaks from the periphery and fails to accurately consolidate the entire cultural experience into living word over rhythm. Whether we MC, DJ, or not we ARE still Hip Hop. We ARE the living embodiment of the spirit of Hip Hop. Everyone else only follows what we do in Hip Hop/African Culture. This is undeniable.

[@Feelin2nice]

Outstanding!!!

[@omzg4163]

The Best Flow! :0

[@zarenj21]

wow, a prettty could music video, and they are underground!! seattle stand up!!!

[@Cataclysm_1]

I liked for all of the following... ...The white chick rapping at him when he was pinned up against the door, his overalls, his lyrics, his unrelenting force of words, Sabzi's sick beat spewing epic sauce everywhere, and last but not least... ...RA's beard.

[@Mattlucky1178]

This was filmed in the gold ol' town of Monroe, WA. My friend told me she was in this video as a dancer and i didnt believe her until i saw it. REPRESENT!

[@rzonmrcury]

LOVE IT!!!

[@3000solo]

[@thagoon99]

This bops!

[@MISTAWULFY]

[@samnsoul]

its totaly different to Blue Schoolars, one shouldn`t compare it... I really like this vid + song + flow very much!! Probs from Germany =)

[@scski44]

No one would ever mess with this guy in the real world.

[@MindfullMC]

Word? RA Scion is so dope.. Common Market is my shit, Tobacco Road is one of the top albums of 08.

[@charlos707]

common market slap!!!!

[@retrofutur1st]

If you go to their website, he actually takes the time to explain the lyrics, line by line. SICK.

[@GrimSingmuf]

Does it still exist?

[@rachelcahalane1]

lol yeah, i need to know his secret. dope track, dope video, dope album.

[@BoolishMedia]

You do not see Hip Hop as a unique expression of African culture because it has been taken outside of its context and turned into a free marketplace for anyone to place their bidding. Whether you like it or not the descendants of Africa will always carry the preeminent pulse of Hip Hop. It's ancestral and embedded within our genetic memory lie the subconscious living experiences of our ancestors who created and carried on these traditions. This cannot be cloned or replicated.

[@shirleycoffie]

Beautiful show of honest self expression... Awesome shit y0~!

[@mistamontiel]

Sorry, just read your other comment, yeh you know it. This video is just unique, like nothing out there, rap couldn't of looked more sinister and smooth in this music video, one of the greatest lol.

[@Alistic]

This song is epic!

[@leecain7501]

That is the best weblog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You notice a lot its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I really would wantHaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!

[@WigWamSupernova]

dude these guys are WAY to good to be underground, the beard is awesome lol

[@LeDuckDuckGoose]

Why cant much music and other music stations but good stuff like this on? I'm tired of seeing people who do not deserve that time on the air...

[@NiclasTimle89]

[@lokdwn452]

Omg who is you!😍😍😍

[@retrac1324]

[@okonomiyaki51]

It's dope indeed. Shit, I'm even thinking about moving to Seattle now cuz of dude, Blue Scholars among others... haha. I've always had love for the place and these guys made it feel more real.

[@Boogiedowndisciple]

The DJ is Sabzi and he is the beatmaster for both the blue scholars and common market so show a little bit of respect.

[@TheBullyBlinders]

[@bluescholarship]

it's available for download on itunes, or you can also find the cd at most best buy stores or at amazon! if you like the video, spread it around... the more hits it gets the easier it'll be to make a follow-up video!

[@bluescholarship]

it's called "nothin' at all," which is also on the tobacco road album. :)

[@FatAlbert1020]
