the takeover was a great follow-up from heroes in the city of dope in my opinion. this song is just one of the many dope tracks on the album. and for all those who are hatin on the video game lately, this one is definitely different and original.
Me likey! The Town is Proud!

This is real corny. With everything going on in the Bay these days I thought Zion I would be coming more realistic instead of left field. Still overall like the group but I dont know about this one… The best vid I’ve seen in a minute it My Swag is Up w/Stic from DP
Great video. This is the sort of creativity hip-hop is missing. The cats who directed this did a great job!
MAYO (the production company that made this)is doing some real nice work. Props on a great video
Great video!
GEEK TO THE BEAT BITCH!
Very creative video, but I’m not digging the beat, this sounds even cornier than Deepwaterslang 2.0 which was an excellent album. Well, maybe I need to listen to the Takeover more often to like it.
Dope. I like curve-balls, this one is a boomerang.
sick ass vid!
good job toots
Zumbi is so fucking sexy! Don’t really like the song or vid tho…
Good work guys! I am amazed!
Dope!!!
DOPE!!!!!
Really nice video… Zion I been one of my favorite since the early 2000s, nice to see they’re still doing their thing. Diggin the Alice in Wonderland theme… whoever directed this ish knew what they were doing… 1
I’m votin this for best video of the year
definately a great video, real hip-hop is back
this is ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh MAZING!!!!!!! i had never heard these guys before but i love this song. i listened to it once and then again and again! cool video, alice in wonderland, nice. love the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hollllaaaa! nice tea party.
this shit is hella dope.
HOT HOT HOT VIDEO!!!!!!! Very creative concept for today’s boring hip hop club videos. Zumbi lookin sexy as usual. And Amp never fails with the Beats! And the MTV Video of the Year award goes to… ZION I!!!!!!
Anyone who doesn’t like this should go wash their ears out… or just KILL YOURSELF… This is bangin!
let me put it this way: beautiful!
Great song/vid. Vid reminds me of this one by Bat For Lashes mainly because of the bmx rabbit/animals, not the music at all:

This is one of the dopest hip-hop song/video combinations I have ever seen- you gotta love how a conscious cat makes the Dope Fiend Beat his housewife. If you don’t think Baba Zumbi is speakin’ on the situation in Oakland, you gotta check out his group tha Burnerz’ new joint “Cops Hate Kids.” He’s definitely givin’ life lines for trife times…
One of the best hip-hop vids ive ever seen!! AMAZING Chorography and very entertaining. I LOVED IT!!!
PEACE,FROM THE BAY!
ZION I=SUPER FRESH.

i liked it. mainly because it wasn’t your typical hip-hop or rap vid. nowadays i tend to stay up late to watch nocturnal state on VH1. if videos and music were more like this on 106 and park i’d prolly watch BET more often….lol but i enjoyed this. i hope i hear this in the club so i can geet my geek on and all dat good stuff….(ppl stop hatin’ it’s a weak emotion.)
???????????
That’s Freshhhhhhhhhhhh. Been a fan for a while. really dope stuff fellas.
insane…smashed it, damn real HIPHOP makes me proud to be an emcee
this sounds like a rejected mainstream track. i cant pick a single thing i liked about it. the weird vid worked aginst the whole thing. i guess u need crapy undergoung shit to compair 2 what is acually dope , can i have my like 3 minutes back okp. oh yeh my ears are clean
You should expect nothing less these cats are Vets…Z & A showin that baybay kid love….lovin it
These cats always make the Bay proud….keep whippin it up famz!
