Love that Common VS Drake Breakdown. That shit was on point. I might just subscribe. Us REAL Hip-Hop heads gotta stick together.

I remember bumpin this shit like it was yesterday....1999 was the last great year for real hip hop...so many classic albums dropped that year its almost as if muthafuckkas knew the new millenium would spawn real bullshit and so, they all agreed to drop their illest shit in a futile attempt to thwart the bottom feeders of the rap world...now those bottom feeders have recieved their marching orders from Madison avenue and are dictating (ruining) the direction of this art form....fuckin bitches

[IllinoizeFlyest]

Harold Hunter! Legends Never Die!

[nexicon]

In my opinion this is one of the last beautiful tracks that ended a very important era for many of us.

Yes, Hip Hop is more than just rap, but this is the very essence of true hip hop. a genre that is 99% dead/exploited by now=(

[bigleglover1]

[F4billionyearzag0]

[dclive2000]

This beat is fire. 'Bout to break out the Soundbombing II CD.

[erika2012vsu]

Brings back Memories!! Rap City...  I was 9.. last year for real MC's!

[loveforsoul]

dont worry about dat all seeying eye symbol, they show it like a secret message for raping against it, just listen to the lyrics... its not like lil wayne & jay-z or anything who raps evil... common is nice, Take It EZ

[TheKemodragon]

@loveforsoul  word

[betekvs]

@loveforsoul Real hiphop was aware of that stuff since the beginning. Like the songs "It Ain't Hard To Tell" By Nas and "All Things" by Hieroglyphics actually explains what "freemasons" and "Illuminati" is.

[loveforsoul]

@betekvs you know its funny the illuminati and freemason is something that you can prove existed for years back, but you cant prove that illuminati is the thing behind everything now a days. there is always going to be secret societys in usa, like the skull & bones club from harvard. etc. its the usa goverment that is prove to be a selfish and inhuman to the world, they using all the symbols of power, conspiracys on the tube will always be it effect you that much that you want it to effect you

[betekvs]

@loveforsoul Yeah true to that, always gotta have some type of proof. Some people go overboard with the freemason stuff and all that, some of the freemasonary videos are just made by people who are real paranoid about it.

[dinigi]

@loveforsoul and why is he working with all those brands, making adverts and shit

[loveforsoul]

@dinigi if you get some you got to do some

[ThaReaalness]

@loveforsoul the all seeing eye is a black symbol that dates back to the perception Egyptians had towards building their pyramids, there's nothing wrong using it on a hip hop video

[loveforsoul]

@ThaReaalness who says that its wrong, who says that its a black symbol

[ThaReaalness]

@loveforsoul well i guess not many people know about it let alone consider it wrong and as for the black symbol well as far as history goes it's an Egyptian symbol but not necessarily "black" so i guess i stand corrected

[loveforsoul]

@ThaReaalness its a symbol of power, the men behind everything in u.s use the symbol as a sign for there companies, banks, buildings, all around the media in hollywood... just to set a mark where they are

[ThaReaalness]

@loveforsoul the all seeing eye that you see on the dollar bill= the Great Pyramid of Giza was made so the top pointed towards the moon and had a hollow column through the middle of the pyramid with quartz all the way at the bottom and also a giant quartz to top the pyramid. It received moonlight making it shoot down into the bottom quartz, refracting it back up like a (refracting) laser. The eye of a human has granules of quartz and is able to transfer light thus the comparison eye/pyramid

[vrietmet]

11 years old? i heard it 11 days ago :P, very chill

[8illmatic3]

hi-tek, dat x and common would make something dope like this

[SoulscheMattik]

[chakabantou]

[lilCnIgGa]

Classic stuff here.. But tell me, why there is the pyramid with the all-seeing eye?

[taury81]

[DatNiggaDhang]

Classic Sadat went hard

[sephardimm]

Kweli turned pop, common aswell. the only real here is Sadat. Kweli should do a whole lp wid justin timberlake, he belongs there, fukin traitor.

[Blackdemo]

@sephardimm

?? how the fuck did talib turn pop? have u heard his new album?

[sephardimm]

@Blackdemo

yeah, there was only one real track i could feel..

the system got him wid the cash, no question, they turn millionaires and start makin compromises, thats fake...

Like as if DPZ would do a track with souljah boy, fuk him 'though. With that Justin Timberlake shit he crossed a line he shouldn't have crossed. Thats wack.

[afroexcobazz]

i fill you bro.

[sephardimm]

@afroexcobazz

I saw a show with him and jusitn timberlake in africa, and justin acted crackerlike and u could c that talib was ashamed, but he did a track wid him so to hell with kweli.

[BagpipeHustler]

[bluemonkjd]

@BagpipeHustler It would be, anyway, if Hi-Tek hadn't actually laced it.
