Mos Def performing travellin’ man with dj honda lyrics: Intro: yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin? ahhh alright, i see you at the airport *samples of “rrrr-rock on”* Chorus: Memories don’t live like people do They always remember you Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories Memories don’t live like people do-o Baby don’t forget me, I’m a travellin’ man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things i got to do GOD willin’ I’m comin back to you My baby boo I’m a travellin’ man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things i got to do But GOD willin’ I’m comin back to you Baby boo I’m leavin Verse 1: Well go ‘head and leave The call heard ’round the world from the wives of MC’s These cats is payin’ more that half a pound A garment bag we snatch it down Ain’t got the state but we could prob’ly run a blacker town Scenarios like this is tear jerkers For the modern MC I ain’t a blue collar worker ‘Cuz this thing called rhymin’ no different from coal minin’ We both on assignment to unearth the diamond When you start climbin’ And them eyes start shinin’ You be strugglin’ and strivin’ And they think you prime-timin’ Maintain and keep silence make note and observation This confrontation This is the daily operation A concentration Stay focused on my recitation ‘Bout to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation Baby make the preperation ‘cuz this ain’t no recreation This is Pro Ball! And we lettin you know y’all At the show …

@xioutube Ya people just need to let people have their own opinions and stop complaining about “that music today.” It makes us hip hop heads look like close minded douche bags.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice “I LOVE THIS SONG”
@jakemo4242 puss
@TheSmoouk I like it when people say that music turned to pop. It doesn’t even make sense. Not to knock on you or anything, you sound very knowledgeable, I’m sure you just misspoke.
@TheSmoouk Hip hop isn’t dead. You’re just not looking for it.
Mos Def the truth even Jay said he was better but too much nut suckas
Minasan means everybody. Ichiban means No.1. in Japanese.
so i had no idea this song even existed, this is smashing mac miller’s verision…
mac millers is better? lay off the crack bro
Funny thing is that this song was so much ahead of it’s time and if this was played on the radio today, it would still go over peoples heads. Better than 100% of everything out now.
For the modern MC I ain’t a blue collar worker
‘Cuz this thing called rhymin’ no different from coal minin’
We both on assignment to unearth the diamond….DAYYYYYYUMMMMM SON
Mashallah yaseen…that was dynamite(roots style!)
This is my fav Mos Def song by far, then I heard Mac Miller’s remix to this and the kid didn’t disgrace the song or anything. I actually was impressed by Mac’s version, but in the end you all know nobody could top Mos Def on this song, hands down.
mac miller covering this song is a complete disgrace in my opinion. mos def is so much more talented than mac
@melara111193 matter of opinion mate
personally its mac for me :S
@edders97 i like mac’s version too but when it comes down to it theres no comparing the two…Mos Def is a legend and one of the best rappers ever.
Travellin Man and Everything Man need to colab again.
not being a hater but i personally think mac miller’s is way better :/
@TheSmoouk also if you are stuck in the 90s era you are fucking a lost soul.. hip hop has moved on and to tell you again.. hip hop never died.. its evolved and the real sound is so still out there its just matured with the right knowledge you will find the real shit still kicking it with 2007-2011 shit yall think it died cuz why.. NAS said it and names his album after it.. nah its cuz ppl like soulja boy and ill put lil b in that cuz he is WACK AS FUCK! im done
@TheSmoouk how can u say hip hop is dead budd may i ask you where u think it went? to be straight up honest yo.. hip hop has never died… you jus not looking hard enough…. fuck i dont have enough space to name artists that still kill it to this date and new artists that destroy it right now in the game.. i aint talking mainstream so dont think that is wat im talking bout.. ill say this for right now.. freddie gibbs kendrick lamar blu & exile macklemore & ryan lewis.. curren$y and so man more!
Yasiin Bey is DOPE as FUUUUUCK!!!
Man dis was my shit back in the day. Shit, still is!
See, if rap was like this all the time, I wouldn’t feel it appropriate to post youtube vids of myself freestyling in my apartment
the first time i heard this was a morning before my classes were about to start, i almost missed a class =x Mos Def got my senses hooked on this song
They celebrate to my jams in foreign lands
Even your mans in Japan know who I am
Minasan, make everybody out in Nippon
Say ichiban, make yard man know where ya getti from ??
Phenomenon
