Man 8 years later and this is still one of the hardest things ive ever heard. Whole world slept on Mick, i stg its criminal.

Who's still drinking hella water in 2024!?🙏

“Drink more water or you might die”. Greatest opening lyric to a rap song. You know the guy speaks the real truth after such practical advice. And you know you’ll be a better person by the end of the track.

*This the exact type of music that could never make it mainstream, because it's too real.*

This dropped 7 years ago and it's still a vibe. I can't even nap the way the music game sleeps on Mick Jenkins.

MICK!!!!!!

"Drink more water... or you might die" Spits it out*

Drinking more water in 2020!! Who else still hydrated???💯💯💯

THIS VIDEO DESERVES A FUCKING AWARD

Saw this guy in Cape Town, South Africa. I went crazy when this beat dropped. One of the best days of my life

I'm criminally late to the party but god damn what a banger

I keep coming back to this video. The imagery... the message... powerful!

Not sure if this is relevant but since I first heard mick like 2 years ago I started drinking more water and to be honest I feel a huge difference in my body haha

Mick Jenkins is so underrated that it hurts my heart…

Damn this is deep, Powerful music...

In his songs mick always says he does it for the free so therfore I think in this video the water is a representation of his music and the knowledge it contains. The boxer and his partners can be seen as the more mainstream rappers who also spit knowledge but their main focus is still the almighty dollar. The lil kids are a representation of mick, who provides the same water(music/knowledge) which was being sold by others free of cost. The amount of water being given is also important since the ones who are making money off of their water (mainstream rappers) are dishing out a cup of water for $5 each, while the kids(Mick Jenkins) hand out a whole bottle free of charge . I don't usually comment on youtube videos but I appreciate Mick Jenkins and his music so much. His music reminds me that there is still hope for the future.

I dig the nappy headed chubby little brother who saves the day.

If you told me to go create the perfect rapper in a laboratory, this dude would be my prototype. Tyler the Creator type voice. ASAP Rocky type flow. Kendrick type lyrics. This dude will blow up soon.

"I ain't gonna stop don't A-S-K, till I'm in a white drop top with a smile on my face and a hand in the air like jfk... wait." Holy shit that's a bar.

Pretty sure this video is a representation of what California is gonna be like this summer.

Every time I listen to Mick Jenkins music I drink water. I'm not even being sarcastic right now but if that was his intention then it worked. I would thoroughly enjoy his music and thoroughly enjoy reminding myself that I need to stay hydrated. I'm dead serious. I think it's pretty cool that he has that influence.

Years listening to that marvel of a song. And it just keeps hitting strong. Maybe stronger and stronger. All that jazz indeed, baby.

Greatness .. talking all that jazz🔥

Mick music is refreshing. Nobody is in his lane. When I listen to the Waters I know I'm goin to see my reflection

The reason hip hop is misunderstood is because this and hot nigga are in the same category

The Waters is still one my my favourite mixtapes/albums ever.

I remember when I first downloaded SoundCloud mick Jenkins was the first artist I was introduced too it was my first time finding my own music and I wouldn’t know I would stumble across something that would always uncover itself song by song

It's been nearly 7 years since this album dropped and I still can't pick up a bottle of soda at the store without hearing Mick's voice in my head telling me to drink more water or I might die. Listening to this song will force you to re-evaluate your life choices.

Man I remember when this was first released, smoking heavy with the bros bumping tf outta our speakers. never thought we'd be where we at today. hope everyone is alright

We still drinking water king🐐

Not even the point but to this day I tell myself "drink more water... or you might die" whenever I'm dehydrated 😂

This man's delivery is totally next level!!!

This guy need way more of an audience. his rap is so intellectual, this shit is gold

Dude I really think this is the most played song for me in the past half decade. My GF knows it, my boys, even my Mom lol. I listen to this all the time. Great lyrics, amazing voice.

I love Mick for making timeless music. I still can't believe this was released eight years ago

This guy rit here is a Genius, A Poet , A Prophet. Him, Kendrick, Jay Electronica are Supernatural. LongLive To real HipHop

MOST underrated rapper dude

It’s midnight. It’s raining. I’m outside.

“You got time in ya head like you ain’t above 50!?” fighting with the old man these days and this shit hitting me hard rn 😔

Just discovered Mick Jenkins. I'm feeling like I've been living under a rock for ages... awesome artist!

The youth was spreading the konowledge without charge.

The Waters is still one of the best bodies of work to ever exist. So proud to be a day 1 fan, since the pursuit of happyness.! Love you mickalas cage

9 years late to this bop

Why have I been sleepin yo?!

Just noticed that intellectual rap exists..thx Mick Jenkins... greetings from switzerland

sooooo underrated. I listen to this track occasionally for years now. never gets old!

How he still ain't get that XXL Freshman nomination?

I'm still drinking that water 2022 yow Mick your music helped me to have courage to fight back the battles I was put in. It got me through a lot 🔥🔥

Such a powerful song and visual. Much appreciation and love.

2021 and we still drinking water 🙏🏼 mick is so talented and his music will always be here for people to discover

It's 2024 and jazz is still relevant... pun intended

I think were witnessing a new breed of intelligent young rappers.

it's sad how hard you have to dig for great hip hop like this, while they keep shoving that weak shit coated with bass at you constantly.

This is revolutionary

I loved the ending of this video... There's always enough for everyone to be taken care of.

Took a year but finally 1M views. Happy for you Mick!

The beat was ahead of it's time ngl

I remember listen this on my 3DS 9 years ago when i was 8yo, good times of my childhood 🚬

This guy knows water is sacred, what keeps us alive, pretty soon we’ll all die without it

This deserves 3 billion views

I would like to introduce the world to "Mick Jenkins" he is here to stay. #CHICAGO

Just saw him play like 3 nights ago with the glass animals. AMAZING. Mick is the most underrated and most talented artist out here right now. Stop sleeping on this dude and drink your water. Stay woke

This video is amazing

who's here 2020?, what a record, had to come back for it again.

if it was Kendrick Lamar everyone would be on fire, thats simply beautiful, artistic and creative, all respect from Brazil, this dude is so underrated, keep sharing ur water blessed to knowledge for black communities!

Saw this man perform this live last night in Youngstown, Ohio, and it was absolutely unreal

This young God is the truth,keep up the great work because you came from greatness,peace and blessings to you always

2021 and I'm still here staying hydrated.

Wait...he name dropped Coltrane, Mingus and Charlie Parker? A brilliant young brother...with a old soul OGs listen in silent respect

Who still here in 2023?🥹

Dude a few years ahead of his time... God damn if he don't make it I throw in

Faith in good hip hop restored.

Man aside from how real the actual lyrics and content are, I love the video too! I mean it just left me wanting more. I watched it completely just to make sure I didn't miss something important to the plot/story. Real hip hop bringing back real music videos too!

Micks been there way before this song and he will always be around dropping GEMS like this! you just need to know who to listen to and where to look.

Real one. Saw Mick in my small ass city, thanks for showing Adelaide Australia love.

Masterpiece!!!

mick got some serious talent...cant wait for more music

After Covid we still here 🔥🔥🔥

That grey sock at 1:56 made my day !

Yall so late on this nigga, I'm glad he gaining more recognition. Martyrs is probably his most known song.

2022 still staying hydrated

Thank you Mick. Sitting here burnin one wondering why my knees are shakey... dehydrated man. Drink water or die

2020 still listening, because this shit real.

Hearing this for the first time in 2023 and all I can say is this is absolutely fire….

Mick is the truth.

"drink more water" i swear for some reason is the realest thing ive ever heard

So much raw truth in this, with a juicy flow; I ALWAYS come back to it, and recommend it to folks ready for it

when the water was given to the community unselfishly, expecting nothing in return, the rain poured cleansing everyone. Blessing everyone. When you act unselfishly, sharing your water (gifts) you bless all.

Just arrived to this in 2018. Late as all hell. But damn this is refreshing. I want to consume all of his music now.

"Water" is truth and knowledge, which to Mick means the Bible since he is Christian.

forever will be one of my favorite music videos of all time

At first I thought this was boring, 6 years later dudes my favorite rapper

Goddamn mick, this is bringing a whole other level to the rap game, my thirst for water is just growing

Best Music Video in a long time. This video represents the current state of the Rap/Hip-Hop game, and how some rappers supply the product just for their own personal gain, while others do it so everyone else can have something to vibe with and enjoy. Water represents purity. The water that the dudes are selling is "pure" but notice how stingy they are about distributing it and how much they charge for just a half a cup of water. But the boys take it back to the crib, take their time bottling it up so they can give it back to the people, it's only then that the water is officially pure. Once they give it back to a few people, the rain comes, and everyone and get themselves, truly pure water. Because of that, the dudes who were selling it were essentially put out of business and into a state of irrelevance. That's symbolism. In an essence: Mick is the rapper, delivering purity, honesty and powerful lyrics. Notice that his mixtape "The Water[s]" was/is available for free. Mick was more about getting the message out, and less about getting some profit in return. Whereas most of the mainstream rappers out right now lack a message yet they don't care because they're all about the profit. Once enough people "drink more water" (the water Mick is providing) the rains will come and EVERYONE can get his purity.

why did that shit make me cry right now

Once we do good for each other , the earth does good for us
