Mos Def, Chris Dave, & Robert Glasper - Thieves in the Night

[@rscouba1476]

'thieves in the night' is one of the best/most important hip hop songs ever made. Mos kills that second verse in the original.

[@rvs4102]

Agreed! This album initiated me into socially conscious hip hop.

Da fq I got this record in 2001 and here I am in 2024

[@RashadRayford]

I always come back to this every couple years...sheesh every time. Classic.

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

EVERY time fam.

[@mavis1108]

I have it in my head since 2001

[@nithorium]

Never seen a rapper and the band play together like that. Mos definitely awesome

[@arupsen8394]

Ain't there no better moment than vibin to this in 2020

[@jarbon5]

I was hoping he would put down the flow he spat in "Thieves Of The Night", cuz those are some of the most epic bars in the history of hip hop, but this here was cool. He got down on the beat and had fun with it, and I totally dug that:)

[@99SilverSrfr]

It would've been an absolute joy. But I like how the audience initially recited some of the chorus, and Mos/Yasin gets that smile on his face, thanks them and picks it up from there.

[@mathismae]

Robert G is fuckin awsome, a perfect trio , and mos def killed it. Good time for smoke a blunt.

[@mizzhadassa322]

Damn, you see a bunch of brothers grooving and you think of smoking a blunt? I wish you could see with my eyes, because I feel spirit and depth that would need it.....but I'm from a different tribe than you are.....so....

[@mathismae]

+Mizz Hadassa We feel it with the same eyes man, we just enjoy it with different perception, and there's no tribe. The only tribe that i expect is A Tribe Called Quest ;) peace and light.

[@Nourxcviii]

Likewise

[@josecabildo1207]

@@mizzhadassa322 Chris loves joints shut the fuck up man judgy asshole, most of what you have heard about weed is a lie , Bet you dont have a problem with alcohol

[@Yinde3000]

I definitely still watch these once a year. Thank you 🤝🏽

[@brendanotoole5871]

Chris Daddy holding it down like a boss. Pure class

[@punchnazis3268]

Chris, Jon Jon, AND Robert absolutely KILLING it.

[@danamezchriz]

By far my favorite video on KZbin. Watched this countless times over the years during times of hardships.

[@noisyneil]

i love it when mos sings. tone for days

[@TheNotary3]

My brothers are astounding! All of them. It runs in the family!

[@punchnazis3268]

Hell yeah!

[@russdillon4831]

Anyone got a link for the full set? It's so good I leave any woman I'm with if they can't appreciate it! I saw Talib in Brooklyn and Blackstar in London. I'm 39, their album came out when I was 18. Word

[@deaundracollins78]

LOOVVEEE this version

[@Thadwood]

Mos (in my opinion) really compliments what's going on, which is rare to see. Most rappers these days haven't had the word 'musical' be described to them as anything important.

[@thelankytank]

original track is so good already and i mean mos def is versatile enough to do something like this just proves how hes a legend. never heard of the other guys on the instrumental but god damn they killed it

[@silencemonkk]

It's just like a live jazz recording compared to a studio version!

[@Tb0nepr0d]

Mos Def's flow and lyricism is incomparable. And Robert Glasper is a master of the music. Two masters of their craft coming together to make TRUE magic. REAL MUSIC LIVES!

[@SuperDobido]

A Tribe Called Quest, Common, The Roots, Lauryn Hill/The Fugees, Nas, GZA, Outkast, Jeru The Damaja, to name very few, There are more than plenty to discover :)

[@xolanimiel616]

HERO HE IS for ME 😎🤩HE SOOOO BLESSED😇🤴🏾🤴🏿💪🏿✊🏿🙏🏽🙌🏽❤💚💛lobiiii

[@soultribej]

"Separate the lie from the truth."🔥That bass was groovy all the way.

[@dohurni]

always coming back to this song..

[@drmad21]

Glasper is a genius. So is Mos Def. Gimme the fortune keep the fame!!

[@holygroove2]

I love the feeling between Dave and Web. Glad that this is posted here - I missed when Glasper came to NYC Sympony Space, and I've been curious. Hip hop is better with live musicians. I like how Mos Def isn't afraid to quote the older joints - You can git with this, or you can git with that. Sweeeeetness.

[@wutrain]

glasper is an upcomming jazz musician. its great to see hip hop guys hooking up with guys like that

[@jeffrejr1]

the best artist I've seen live.The mighty Mosdef !!!

[@sebastianobusato5170]

God bless mos def

[@deejkdeejk]

I wish beyond anything that I could've attended this event. Beautiful

[@smokerscoach]

Wow and mos def had to start with my favourite part

Chris Dave groovin' is insane!

[@beflygelt]

I saw Yasiin and Robert Glasper in London last year

[@gretadlamini8198]

Mos Defffffff!!!! Real music right here❤️

[@FSVR54]

Was waiting for him to drop a verse from the song

[@rogersat]

@petzaman1 no. it's one offshoot of jazz and jazz isn't relegated to a more hip hop direction in the modern world. a lot more is happening with jazz and some of it is still in the traditional jazz vein and progresses a lot in that direction as well.

[@Nikomoukk]

This music is a dream

[@magpie1999aus]

Love this version so much

[@sheshwang]

Thats right. its simply beautiful.

[@Mskiyuki]

It's so inspiring..

[@silentstruggle31]

This song is forever my theme❤️🥰🎆

[@Bozkicksyourface]

THIS is the rhythm section working as ONE.

[@MrGasPaol]

Mos and Glas - 2 x coolest cats = blissful music.

[@fistjedi]

This band needs to come on down to Birmingham, AL!

[@jaydee6178]

Respect to DJ Hi-Tek for producing this masterpiece. The jazziest hiphop producer ever!!!

Damn Mos Def rocked the hell outta this!

[@x-man4350]

This is the paradox of infinite Infinity and life's algorithm of perplexed serenity and the tranquil affect of tranquility in a kinetic energetic magnetic poetic theoretic subconscious thought through wisdom and ability to see From the minds third eye

[@freeman8759]

I moved to Houston too late!!!!

[@RickardHallerback]

simply beautiful

[@approximate]

[@eastgoast]

I can't believe I almost joined the Army Rangers. I prob would have died and never been able to hear this beautiful thing called music.

[@JamesGiannoni]

Now that's jus' sick.

[@lielfishbein197]

[@robbiewymer9318]

Hell ya

[@locust1536]

[@rogersat]

@rogersat that being said, this is awesome.

[@Husbick]

Dislikes ? Are you kidding me?

[@ijgriffin22596]

Mos def + Robert glasper and Chris Dave = nasty

[@nisipeace464]

I dig this!! Wow, he sounded a lot like Gil Scott Heron, esp at the very beginning and also at the end. Whichever poster can't hear the bass well, you just need some nice headphones. Bass man is jammin'!! ~peace 3~

[@harryrios445]

Yo Glasper! What are those chord changes?! Sick

[@sethfinch575]

C-7 A7#5#9 Abmaj7 G7alt C-7 A7#5#9 Abmaj7 G13b9

[@jasonharris7770]

Reminds me of Ahmad Jamal type chord changes. Just flawless sound.

[@natmoody3319]

* C G C G - Ab G Ab C G - [ F Eb ] - G Bb D F G - G C# F G C F - G C F G Bb F - B E Ab - Bb D Eb G * Each hyphen indicates a new chord and notes in the square brackets are melody / not part of a chord. Reading left to right, go upwards from middle C or the octave below. Spent quite a while working this out and I thought I'd share it with ya. You're welcome, KZbin.

[@sciencegod7]

Nat Moody you the man!

[@jameslewis6916]

this is my coffee every day

[@mrkukkmrkukk]

Then, prove what a good person you are through sharing your knowledge to the world. :D

[@skenzabeam]
