Jedi Mind Tricks (Vinnie Paz + Stoupe) - "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story" [Official Audio]

This song was always incredible to me..IMO RAs verse is his greatest work written between the lines..Not to mention, The genius of Vinnie Paz.. primed that piece of ice with his own artillery fire power 🔥🔥🔥 🧊🧊🧊 Cant put a price on the level of skill that these dudes can come with. The fact we're praising artists with no push or pull from a major label ..Speaks for itself...Hip Hop in its purest form .

Message in ur face .... So dope
Should be 24 7 in media this Album is a gem ❤

Still goes hard in 2024

So RA released this by himself then jedi remixed it or what? Tryna find out what came first

This song tells everything dogburn. His verse ra and Vinny is epic

How is the Chinese expansion going now??

R a was on a lirycall miracle ish but that was flawless

Bitxes and guns every mans dream
And much more just pay attention

One of the best Rap tracks of all time..

best rap song ever

So folks know, RA’s rapping through the perspective of his own father who was a Staff Sargent in Vietnam.

God take god give

Je l écoute tout les jours cette musique de matin au soir

One of the most haunting rap tracks along with techs dance with the devil

cant get in my head that it never stops, what the fuck is wrong with u..

Idk why but this reminds me of Peruvian cocaine-immortal technique

Career-defining verse 💥. Emotional for sure!!

Damn i cant believe i first listend to this almost 15 years ago😊

R
A better than Eminem and all the other but he didn't sell out for the /∆

R.A's verse tho... top 3 all time

I literally just found this song because of an Instagram video of a homeless sniper vet going through a PTSD reaction setting up his kill shot to this song over it. Honestly great video but holy shit the song is truly perfect

RA tha RuggedMan

7 million $(nukez?)

one of the best rap verses of all time on ra

That last line packs a punch! 💥

“I still try to think positive
Cause in life, God take, God give”

This is the type of verse you havent heard in 7 years but still know almost word for word due to how fucking great it is and how much you memorized it back in the day.

putin listening to this... "yes... YES... YES!!!!!!"

Who is speaking in the beginning? Is that us president? Which one

DDT2

That vocal sample is haunting as fuck. Such a great few minutes of noise to really make you think

Weird how this song covers current events in 2023 the MIC is hungry and it has to eat, how long before we starve it ?

LYRICS
I don't know why I'm over here this job is evil
They send me there to Vietnam to kill innocent people
My mother wrote me said the President he doesn't care
We trying to leave the footprints of America here
They say we're trying to stop Chinese expansion
But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed
Sent my whole entire unit thinking we can win
Against the Viet Cong guerillas there in Gia Dinh
I didn't sign up to kill women or any children
For every enemy soldier, we killing six civilians
Yeah, and that ain't right to me
I ain't got enough of mother fuckin' fight in me
It frightens me and I just want to see my son and moms
But over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs
I spend my days dodging all these booby traps and mines
And at night, praying to God that I get back alive
And I'm forced to sit back and wonder
Why I was a part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder'
In a fox hole with nine months left here
Jungle like the fuckin' harbinger of death here

I don't want to be here. I'm scared, I just want to go home.
You fucking kidding me? Don't be a pussy. Don't you love your country?
I like being here. I'm ready.

True story...
Call me Thorburn, John A. Staff Sergeant, Marksman
Skilling, killing, illing
I'm able and willing
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage your village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas
This ain't a real war, Vietnam shit
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
Soothing, drug-abusing, Vietnamese women screwing
Sex, scampling and booze, and all the shit is amusing
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
I don't want to go home, where I'm just a ordinary human being
Special OP, Huey chopper gun shit, run shit
Gook run when the mini-gun spit, won't miss, kill shit
Spit four-thousand bullets a minute
Victor-Charlie, hit trigger, hit it
I'm in it to win it, get it
The lieutenant hinted the villain, I've ended up killing
I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
A wizard with weapons, a secret mission we about to begin it
Government funded, behind enemy lines bullets is spraying
It's heating up, a hundred degrees
The enemy's the North Vietnamese, bitch please
Ain't no sweat, I'm told "be at ease"
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we about to hit some trees
Till the rotor broke, crash land, American man
Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
Take a swig of the whiskey to calm us
Them yellow men wearing black pajamas
They want to harm us
They all up on us
Bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines
Pray to the one above, It's raining and I'm covered in mud
I think I'm dying, I feel dizzy, I'm losing blood
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Blacks, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must have died, then I woke up, suprised I'm alive
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back
But ain't escape Agent Orange, two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegic, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it they had it
My son died he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
Cause in life, God take, God give

what's crazy is that JMT have given a lot of heavy weights and legends features/verses on their albums. Black Thought, Sean Price, Canibus, Kool G Rap, Ras, Killah Priest, GZA, Tragedy Khadafi have all appeared and yet R.A. comes in and spits arguably the best verse of all time..

Still one of the best hip hop songs of all time. Point blank; period. RAs verse is on another level

Its the mind in the jedi that tricks yall... RA mind marathon lyrical geniuses
