We are NOT BLACK! Thats a colour huni. Are you a colour? Remember,we were were Africans before we became anything else. Pay attention to the lyrics.

@@africaninjamaica632 can u you teach me more about our culture

@@africaninjamaica632 go ahead, use semantics to bring somebody down for celebrating the same thing you are

​@@africaninjamaica632 Bro come on, y'all got to stop with this, its exhausting

I’m glad she finally got her just due..I remember having belly bootleg on vhs listening to bam bam for the first time I broke the tape I had rewinded so much

84blizzle ikr that distant relatives album was my shit bro

84blizzle every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. Because Nas and Damien are similar in thought process/love of their African culture

Next collab, with Wizkid the starboy

haha that's retarded......"Hovey" should be honoured he is working with the brilliant Damian Marley. not the other way about.

+nmessai215 You for got to put, "In my opinion" in front of every track on distant relatives was way better than this track. There is no definitive way to compare and judge art.

PepeVEVO. Very true

In this context he’s admitting to knowing him and many other of Satans children are Vessels to make that hell noise

Underrated comment

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ive noticed. Its another business move. Make fine art for culture and black culture

For real! The reality of the situations. Is really indescribable!

@@17kallum sure is!

Christina Collier it's not just that he grew he talked about wanted to do this kind of music in his albums ...we grew to accept it

He raps about personal things on a few songs on a few albums. If you listen to his albums you can see him fighting his demons some albums are more braggadocio, some more hard and some more personal. But he's always rapped about meaningful things, it has just always been in the shadow of the drug dealer and materialism which is a reflection of where he's from.

hes popular but underrated

about 80% says hes overrated , me personally i think he's better than nas if your talking about overall body of work

He grew back some albums and years ago, people started saying he was "falling off" when he moved to a more mature substance & material. As Michael Perry noted...the masses had to grow to accept it. Some still haven't.

Fakih Balboa 😍

Fakih Balboa chills as well 🇯🇲 love my people

hypnosquirrel how can u speak for an entire population? They showed me love when I went. And this wasn't at the resort. This was around town. That's that bullshit stereotype homie. Don't do that. That's why we as black people cant unite

Come back any time mi bredda

REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL TALK!!!!!

cookie summer #DISTANTRELATIVES...NAS did it right and first...this dude just a fuckin copy cat n always been

Yeah Nas definitely did it first, but you can't act like Drake hasn't done anything with dancehall.... Toronto has a large Jamaican community, and you can hear him use the slang in some songs and some of the beats are definitely dancehall beats

cookie summer exactly!!!! I personally did not know about bam bam by Nancy. I was touched to see Damien Marley and Jay Z working together it show the power of Marley and how his legacy lives On! Bam was made in the 70's or 80's and has been sampled over a 1000xs...and she will receive another nice check because of Jay Z ! Ppl have missed that it all about history and respect...thats never wrong

Sharone Bro

cookie summer anyone who true to hip hop culture knows the roots in JA. The toast, the selector, the vibe. Big Up Kool Herc.

He got his respect in his days though. We went hard for Jay. He was all we had after Big and Pac got killed, really.. not really, but you feel me

My name that's what's up. The message throught this album is a mighty 10 !!!

Here

Nas worked with Damian first now Jay-z wanna follow!

47 steelooo

jamaica made it possible for jay to be on a large platform. dj kool herc is the father of hip hop and he is jamaican. he started those block parties up in new york that gave birth to the art. so its only right to pay homage. that small island does big things. jay z is a jamaican descent like me. his mom or father is jamaican.

Mezziah where u get that from

Mario Bennnett Now why don't y'all try that instead of hating us?

@@SuaveChystmas16 which part? Bc hes right a jamaican named cool herc started hip hop.

Is this why he grew his hair out?

@@altheaasbridge glad im not normal cuz idk wtf that is

Spongebob Chicken that's great dude I mean I'm black and feel proud of the Hispanic culture ain't nothing wrong with it. In fact if all races were more proud of other cultures we wouldn't be caught in the racist clusterfuck of a society we're in today👍🏾

Yow what you mean by somehow?

Because he's not Jamaican...

Spongebob Chicken Because your ancestry stems from black roots do your research

uh...maybe cause I'm not Jamaican ? sorry but did I mention I'm asian ?

drewb4u2 Canjam da fuq you mean!? 😃u wish

In Africa too I grown up with reggae

drewb4u2 Canjam I like JA but the Caribbean is more than just JA. What about Haiti, Trinidad& Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent& the grenadines, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Martens, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, Antiqua and the list goes on and on. So therefore JA is not just the Caribbean, that is just being bias cause you're Jamaican. Like I said I love JA and JA ppl but some of y'all are known to be bias. I'm Haitian I could of said my ppl change the meaning of freedom in the islands they were the first black freed republic in the Western Hemisphere. The Haitian revolution is very historic but I know what my African/Haitian ancestors did I do not have to be bias or brag about it.

brianna perara not Jamaica only the Whole Caribbean is Lit

Mook DaVillan preach

well said. Plus Damian Marley is now signed to RocNation, Jay Z's label AND Tidal, that's why Jay jumped on the occasion to do music with him now. Keep it in the label, profit for both.

Mook DaVillan I think you're forgetting the fact that the music is GREAT because of Damian.

Mook DaVillan Nas is a legend..Jay Z ain't...Nas always had uplifting message pon his lyrics n Jay Z not at all......kmt it kinda disappointing to see Damian a sing with Jay Z kmt nah sah

DuttyBwoy but jay z does have messages but dont get me wrong cuz Naz is legend but u can never forget about my nigga jay z he changing rap to history 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bet you complain about racism and inequality while you go on and hate on white people supporting black artists. Plus you know nothing about me besides my profile picture

Lana Luke tone it down not all white people are bad, stay away from negativity and enjoy life.

Lana Luke chill the fuck out

Lana Luke lol k

Lana Luke lmao

NO, he remains relevant by having a large corporation buy a million of his albums so it's guaranteed platinum. #Fakeplatinum

HubsDrunk he was gonna go platinum anyway

HubsDrunk dude I bought the album I ain't a corporation. Jayz on worse day will go Platinum easily. I'm a fan. Don't hate - love and peace.

HubsDrunk We all knew he was going to go platinum, even you knew that... just shut the fuck up please

HubsDrunk thank you thank you

One Love, from Cali

Ashley Reid Respect ! Westmoreland in da building BAM!

Distant Relatives is still the best duo with Gong. Jay is always late to the game yet up on the $$.

It's sad that most people slept on that album. So much truth and inspiration!!

My all time favourite album!! #sabali

that means patience

you mean sabbali

could u check out my music I'm apart of the culture

Nothing wrong with Trap music, it's just mumble rap.

Rayhan Akram Trap is not fucking mumble rap Jeezy Bankroll Fresh 2chainz Scooter Dolph nun of dem mumble foh

This some golf course music

Bello Atolagb

If you listen to old Jay he basically made trap music without the new day trap beats.

It felt like a real honest confession for his sins...

Michael Lee I know know right? I never had an interest inJay Z until I saw the story of oj and that got me super hype for his album

What but Nas had been talking about this his all albums🤷🏿‍♂️ I'm confused or because it's Jay-Z

Thought you were talking about the video minute mark 4:44, then I got it :/

Dude sold his soul along time ago, he a devil worshipper

D.m.x

eric sase maybe but i don't think they will show that in the documentary

U clearly haven't seen the behind the scenes clips floating around youtube. There was pandemonium in Trench Town (heck, all across Ja) because of J's presence. The clean, empty shots were only for the purpose of the final cut of the video...

If it feels like home he should live there

eric sase they have no money for phones 😂😂😂

Bear Maxes you're sadly mistaken

he brags a lot on his songs. We know, he knows we know. So in person he's chilled af

nasmo bro hip hop and Rastafarian culture are cousins

nasmo Hot fire.. ✊🏾

Hip Hop is the child of Reggae guys...in case y'all didn't know

Aditya Kamble Nah, grime is the cousin, but the root of Hip Hop in terms of expressing oneself lyrically with such depth and perception is from Reggae

nasmo you mean j.cole ft chronixx

Lavonne Fletcher You know nothing of African history or culture. As I stated before, the only difference between a black and a white person is skin colours, in any other way you are as white as a white person. Looking at your profile pic you look like the whitest girl I have ever seen so I do not know why you speak of "your" African history.

4:44 is powerful

💯💯💯💯💯

What does it mean

Mr AB it’s the album

4:44 changed my life, i see 444 every day of my life since this album dropped.
