El-P - "Time Won't Tell" (Official Video from Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3)

www.el-p-wearea...
The video for "Time Won't Tell" is inspired by a childhood memory of director Shan Nicholson, who grew up in the "Old New York" during a time when necessity often bred creativity. This video depicts a young boy innocently finding a way to embrace his imagination amid an urban wasteland. El-P's all instrumental album Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3 is out now

[@GoldChasers]

Pretty much the best El-p beat ever made

[@Bright-Space-Frontier]

El-p said he could never make a happy beat. Well this melancholy sound is totally uplifting and happy to me depending on how your perspective is or what kind of day you're having. Well done El-p.

[@ceramikxxx5882]

This is a sad beat if anything.

[@metdasunrise9647]

I see it as positive. Where there is dark there is light. Subjective. Interchangeable abstract. ART

[@PZADaKillaBee]

Andres Elgin meow the jewels!

[@TwitchDeMetaphysical]

end to end burners was a happy beat w8 dj mr len produced that didnt he shit XDDD

[@TwitchDeMetaphysical]

w8 ghost final instrumental was a happy one and the dance (instrumental) and innocent leader and DMSC & contagious snippet & afterburner beat & scream pheonix i know theirs more but i dont feel like going thru my playlist atm XXDDDDDD

[@flugruger25]

Everytime i watch this i cry like a baby because this video is so beautiful. It says so much about us and we all are brothers and sisters in this life. We all share this desire for love, and when i watch this i want to give the whole world a hug. Never give up because there is somebody out there who cares for you. No matter what you've done, because none of us is innocent and we all hurt people at some point. As long as we breathe we have the ability to do good, and everytime i watch this i'm remembered of this power that is stronger than anything else in this world.

[@ikonoklastas3454]

Amen too that Brother 🙏

[@spanclane4509]

That part 💯💯💯💯

[@rogernurse1106]

Now that i grew up a little and took a look back on this video i found out it actually has and incredible deeper meaning than just some kids jumpin on matresses (im the short black kid)

[@moxy187]

I love this video, it's so beautiful, reminds me of how I grew in South Chicago. Nicely done dude. ✌

[@jaycolbert606]

Im a medium white guy.... but Im the short black kid too.

[@alicspellman6938]

+Roger Nurse it's easy for some to forget that even kids in bad, impoverished neighborhoods, are still just kids.

[@alondathomas293]

Oh, this is off an instrumental release---I wondered why the hell nobody was rapping on it,lol.

[@nickr8220]

Roger Nurse how are you now?

[@andyking7621]

One of the best things anyone has ever done

[@andyking7621]

still one of the best things anyone has ever done

[@xXxXx-----xXxXx]

@@andyking7621 it still is!

[@diegosanchez1203]

When the beat is up, everyone plays, and no one is left behind. Genius.

[@j.ascension7]

I first listened to el p on fantastic damage back in highschool. Shit blew my mind. I didnt actually hear company flow till after i fell in love with that album.

[@goclbert]

This video never fails to make me happy every time I watch it.

[@illbeburningstar1]

I think this might be my fav el p beat its so complex.....its happy and sad at the same time it captures nostalgia

[@ikonoklastas3454]

Yes 100%

[@AggroZilla]

Any kid who grew up poor can relate to this...pure gold. \m/\m/

[@Eziokilla9595]

El-P is the greatest Hip-Hop artist of all time. There is not a close second.

[@ainsoph1]

+Eziokilla9595 aesop rock? GZA?

[@Eziokilla9595]

ainsoph1 Both amazing lyricists, (well, at least Aesop is) but El-P is significantly ahead of both. El-P is a lot more than just a lyricist.

[@Braxtonhawkins]

+Eziokilla9595 id say the same about aesop. fucking love aes and EL. its stupid to compare two of the greatest hipity hopity artists to ever bless the mic.

[@Eziokilla9595]

Braxton Hawkins I mean, judging by your profile, I can see which side of the argument that you aire on. El-P can go line-for-line with Aesop. But, El-P also has production and album quality in his corner, which gives him the edge of Aesop, as much as I love Aesop.

[@Braxtonhawkins]

Eziokilla9595 i agree completely, aes's music just tickles my artistic boner. lyrically, but EL-Producto is just as innovative with words. so its really just my personal bias. ive listened to aes and El religiously for the past years and and at the end of the day choose aes. for the same reasons you prefer EL.

[@Eziokilla9595]

El-P is incredible.

[@captaingenerica]

This video made me tear up a little, great work highlighting the song!

[@ikonoklastas3454]

No words but the music speaks to You

[@samuelreece7668]

"Do not go where the path may lead". instead go where there is no path, and leave a trail.

[@ShaneKarma376]

Music is like alcohol, it magnifies your personality traits. If you're generally sad you go there, if you have a positive outlook you find it inspirational. For me def puts me in a dark place, although willfully.

[@ShaneKarma376]

I can't help but think of the saddest events of my life when I hear this song.

[@Markan25CRO]

Like the Mozart...everything is perfect

[@pamelacooper1220]

I love this video! They’re all grown up now and highly successful! So proud of you all! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@samuelreece7668]

When you feel lost, like a needle in a haystack. You got to erase that, way of thinking and face facts, and get off the train tracks. get back on the right track. Life is too short to look back. Just keep moving on your path, and never turn back. I've had a tough life looking back, good and bad memories that will allways last. I've been through hell and back, but I don't carry the heavy boulder on my back. We all need to slow down because we're on the right track. Life is hard counting the days past. we need to adapt to change and make grasps with this reality and create our own paths

[@ScottieJ448]

this is just an awsome video and song.

[@geniusgza7]

this should be played at el-p's funeral

[@geniusgza7]

Fuck 9 years ago i commented that, i was just thinking i could almost have this played at my funeral 😊 This music gets me emotional and has a great nostalgia feel to it that makes me reflect on my whole experience of life so far, love it

[@tylerflynn2809]

Don’t even need the video to make me cry a little inside, mixed with uplifting joy. To me, this is a masterpiece that’s speaks to me, beautiful on its own but connect it to certain time frame in my life.

[@CarrieOnPromNight]

el-p is a genious producer! def jux backbone.

[@EFI4EYE]

Truly a special video for one of the dopest tracks off Megamixxx3

[@shockerization]

I've always felt that el-p's video clips said more than the actual songs did. The part that really stood out for me was when the kid jumps onto the mattresses like it was a huge deal. It reminded me of when I was a kid and the smallest step seemed like the biggest and now that I'm older a I can see it for what it was. Don't know if that was el's intention, just what I took from it. Love the song and the clip. def jukie.

[@MYERS77.]

El-P é muito diferenciado quando assunto é Batidas (Instrumental)

[@DasFLX]

Love how it plays with your exception of what's going to happen and how the atmosphere is created. Shit, last time I've seen kids jumping on matresses in a hip hop video was when "I can" by Nas dropped I suppose.

[@andyking7621]

what a stunning piece of music this is

[@DavidMatias79]

wow, loved where this video went. it brings back memories . . .

[@yossariancomplex]

What a briliant video. He worked hard, he made something him and his mates and everyone else can enjoy. Strong.

[@tandecrazyef]

Am addicted to this.

[@SolFormation]

I really liked that, clean fun, epic music

[@marlymarrr]

Music like this gives me hope.

[@cresplove]

like it a lot!! phat !! The co still flows!! :D rock on poets!!

[@JohnnyCrump]

Don't know much about this - other than I like it, it's got power, reminds me of being younger and is a dope piece of art on great levels man

[@khemmeta]

Props to Shan Nicholson. This video's pretty genius.

[@Eziokilla9595]

El-P deserves to be king of the universe.

[@hardstyle121212]

EL-P is the king!!

[@SOSTacoJohnson]

we are the temporary custodians of a world our children inherit.

[@mattafaua]

they can fly now!!!

[@johnnybooker]

Loving this jam.

[@TroutBoneless]

absolutely beautiful..both this and the nocando version

[@clothes2theheart]

woow, youtube went from no commercials, to 5 seconds option to skip commercials, to 20 second no skip commercials, maaannn all time is teliing me about media is that they keep getting shadier and shadier and shadier and shadier, and shadier and shadier and shadier and wait hold on let's see how shadier they can get.. booooo commercials, wahooo el p for making this epic salutation

[@Y0UNGSN00PY]

this dosent need lyrics the song and vid speaks for it self GOOD SHIT

[@mporvaznik07]

To me, it's about doing what you feel is right, no matter what people think. Be determined and resolute and you'll find that other people will appreciate what you're doing. Life's too big to worry about everyone else, set your mind on what you want and go out and achieve it (aka happiness).

[@Markan25CRO]

A music Masterpiece

[@Roxiny]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@MrWangNewtons]

Greatest thing i have seen an heard ina long time..

[@gravity111587]

Oh my God I used to do that as a kid... we called it Ghetto jungle gyms.... This video makes me so happy lol.

[@fb9ecd29081e0e3ab3b6]

[@sumwonkool]

[@islanderboi89]

[@xXxXx-----xXxXx]

what a masterpiece

[@andyking7621]

you can listen to this alongside Sigur Ros and everything makes no sense but sounds wonderful

[@kaigrek]

Awesome!!

[@J4TFOI]

Kind of reminds me when was kids & pulled out a bunch of mattresses then set them up & rode onto & bounced off em on our bikes. Generally bikes would land & bounce unpredictably off the mattresses, but good thing none of us got injured more than some bumps & bruises.

[@heinergurkenbauer]

this shit sounds so good in cruise through the city by night

[@katebegreat]

perfection!

[@Psopyxsus]

This song is pretty similar in composition to Mutemath's "Reset". Both great instrumentals

[@TheKDEFF]

[@AJMASTER7]

This song rules so much.

[@scrimmins7]

[@RozzDarkly]

@twixn yes. yes indeed. great song

[@djupsman]

RTJ is the rap duo of the last 10cyears almost but it really killed el-p as I k ew him. This album shows us how great this mother fukka is. The 🐐

[@binary]

i agree. he was better before that stuff

[@TheP0e]

talk about an urban wasteland... is this shot in detroit? amazing song too

[@breakingbeatz]

Sick song and video!

[@AngryJO84]

:) this video and this song together are in my eyes done well, \

[@soundscience1985]

interesting.... el p makes reference to jumping on mattresses in one of his tracks on fan dam, and in this video, i was by some bk residence that back in the day they used to play on old mattresses in brooklyn too.... coincidence ?

[@mooglisxbg67000]

Very Cool!

[@BLOB_DYLAN]

There needs to be a download link to this track

[@learnmorefaster]

@gallo1234321 - As shotdeezy said before me, it could also be that they are trying to show us how the humans behave socially or our group dynamic. Some of us remain uninspired, unmotivated, afraid, and generally disinterested. People are in need of leaders. Without an example to draw from people are basically aimless and lost. We need positive, creative, determined, and charismatic leaders to step forward and show the rest of us a path to a happier existence.

[@johnl1686]

beautiful

[@wojciechkrzywdzinski1626]

Did anybody visit website from adress in description?

[@edwardtupper6374]

Wojciech Krzywdziński hahahahaha yup I have just now

[@xZuBBx]

(Starts at 1:06) Listen up kid, its time to move on, its time to be strong and its time get goin. Its time to do this shit, and claim our throne, its time to show the world that this is our home. Dont tell me that I cant, one mind can change three, an idea that you can plant, a vision I can see, a promise I can grant, a prophet I can be.

[@samreenasyed123]

this is amazing...bad ass i love music without vocals :D

[@SeattleMashUps]

Hip hop is alive. El-p is the lazarus!

[@edyhllykej3882]

Gold

[@gageisgage]

Where do I buy this?

[@FlowSkred]

Dope...

[@deadpeasantmoon]

@TheFiveOHsink El-P's definitely not a sellout. He runs an INDEPENDENT label for Christ's sake.

[@Amir3793]

@shotdeezy I have to say thats a really good interpretation

[@aaaa57345]

speechless, fckng blessed.

[@TwitchDeMetaphysical]

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!!! (whoa had no idea there was even a video for this wtf lmaaaoaoaoao)
