This song just builds and builds to an emotional spasm. It's like being on a roller coaster to hell and back. Music like this doesn't exist.

[blockheadize]

The intro in the live version should have actually been in the original song.

[fentanylfrog]

I feel like I'm one of the only people that REALLY love this song.

[Bimp_Lizkit]

You have to watch this performance a couple of times to really apprecciate it. The way the song ramps up with more and more layers of instrumental and vocal complexity, perfectly timed and interlaced...pretty impressive. That is a stage full of very talented musicians.

The perfectly accurate Abe Lincoln cosplay doesn't exi-

Sweet. Mos Def, Gorillaz, Hypnotic Brass.
The Trinity of Awesomeness.

[LateKnight]

mos def is proabably the best person they could of used for that role

[demo_sphere]

His performance was actually FANTASTIC!

[KanaidBlack]

Actually he choose that outfit and entrance; even Damon was surprised

[JHandcock]

That was an amazing performance. The way it was layed out and planned, and the whole style of Mos Def's character just wrapped it up into a big bundle of awesomeness. I never realized how good this song was until now.

[lnfreeman]

I love the string orchestra vibing in their little hats

[konorsmind]

I've been playing tuba for about 5/6 years now (sousaphone for 1 and a half) so I got really hyped when I saw the brass band join

[isaacrobinson]

I like the album version, but I freaking love this version.

[dariushcreates]

Mos Def is a great performer. Really played the part.

[tunir]

The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is just the cherry on the top.

[MasterTSayge]

Black men: Vocalist and band
White women: violins
White men: Guitar & piano
Black women: Choir

I'm just saying, this group is completely diverse. Good!!!

[bradleythomas]

Cannot beat a good horn section! Worked in the 70s worked in the 80s somewhat made an appearance in the 90s and it still works now....

[thefinkie]

I think this wins the award for being the most out-of-sync audio on YouTube. That's like a full 2 seconds, dude.

[Logicalsphinx]

This song had to be hard to do live since it's on beat then off beat.

[dariushcreates]

Mos def performed the hell out of this!
