♫ Yasiin Bey – Niggas in Poorest
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
The rapper/actor formerly known as Mos Def, Yasiin Bey, offers up his take on The Throne’s hit single “Niggas in Paris” as the first contribution to his Top 40 Underdog series on which he’ll rework Top 40 hits. Let us know how much you’re feeling it.
The song is hot! I have always been a fan of true hip-hop (and Mos Def) and Yasiin Bey does not disappoint. I dont think the much younger crowd would love it as much as the ppl who grew up listening to true hip-hop will.
Wow, JUST WOW!!!!! If n-word in Paris cant make it to # 1 then this one should easy.
YES BIG UP TO MOS DEF AKA YASIIN BEY. WHILE JAY AND HIS “NIGGA” YE LIVING IT UP IN PARIS IN THEIR PERFECT WORLD. THESE HEADS OUT HERE BETTER STOP LIVING VICARIOUSLY THRU THESE SUPER RICH CELEBS AND START SUPPORTING WHAT IS REAL. WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION!!!
just off the title im happy to hear this smh he never ceases to offer a critical consciousness
Love it! I bet this version will not be sung on the trains of New York. I like Def’s version better.
Man dat shit crazy ~ Love it.
I love it. The words I could understand anyways. Gotta go find the lyrics. I hated the original!
IT’S TIGHT! ….but is Mos Def really only gonna be re-making songs now??
i like the concept but you can barely make out what he’s saying though.
