[imtheFreshest]

[KnowledgeAccumulated]

these rhyme patterns are so far ahead of their time

[cripbuddz]

wat did he sample?

[UBZUKI]

@cripbuddz can't remember the title of the original, but i'm pretty sure it's by Eddie Kendricks...

[mightymissi]

@cripbuddz UBZUKI is right its "If you let me" by Eddie Kendricks

[cripbuddz]

This is the kind of diss that you cant fuck wit

[HipHopMaintainer]

amazing song

[HeartagramBoy27]

drake- try harder

[HipHopMaintainer]

@HeartagramBoy27 drake my ass

[gerryg1982]

they done a brilliant interview with Masta.Ace all about his ways of emceeing, doin rhyme patterns, flows, also with G Rap, Kane , Pharoahe Monch ,Tribe, Pharcyde, lot of ill rhyme spitters in the book- HOW.,TO,.RAP...

[FromTheGroundUnda]

I remember playing this over and over on a cassette - back then you had to rewind for playback and if you wanted to save the juice in your batteries you would rewind your cassette with a pencil or pen....

[MaTaRu39]

@FromTheGroundUnda you get internets in retirement home? haha jk. thats dope though, I only listen to music thru youtube, kinda sad actually...

[lollerabbe]

"Masta Ace in the studio with my man Marley Marl" mad respect for 2 legends!

[LTcoogan]

why are we talkin 50 cent on a masta ace masterpiece?

[Barua1Drama]

does anyone know where to get that background? It looks really good!

[BigL2502]

hip hop is not dead lol! but it will never ever be up to the standard of the 90's.

its underground these days, you have to dig, celph titled, army of the pharoahs, apathy, cyne, immortal technique etc...but even then, theres still no funky hip hop anymore...nothing that is just pure fun...times change i guess..btw, great track by the great masta ace, who never ever changed his style! respect.

[jnon1533]

thumbs of if u remember smokin blunts and playin sega while bumpin this song back in the day

[oldschoolhiphop4life]

long live real hip hop

long live real MCs

long live the beautiful borough of Bucktown

[madFlam1]

great piano sample. he was advanced

[Teofilize]

Pa para-papa:)

[206WarEagle]

What a flick! Tight job mayne.......

[rakim467]

Masta Ace- A legend true to the game making music and helping keeping real hip hop alive. It wont be long to the genre turns 360 and comes back to artists like this as listeners struggling to pay their way will grow tired of fake chain wearing corporate 'rappers' talking bullshit.

This will be a good day!

[connor1888cfc]

its actually sad but :

a guess they were just too ahead of their time

even today the fake ass rappers dont have a chance

with all the censored shit eminem is not all fake just

hard geting it out! even nowadays this music is still too hardcore THUGLIFE

[connor1888cfc]

today hip hop is dead ? it is

but tbh for me it will never be a have ma own supply of tupac , b.i.g , n-w-a

,big punisher old school etc:

but it is dead the only rappers being succesful ,on tours , on tv , are faggots that have sold out even in sky tv on demand you cant get old school nwa and tupac or never hear it on radio or see on tv all that is being promoted is ,young money , lil wayne , dre ,usher , ne-yo, chris brown , flo rida , all shitty pop and cheesey fake ass rappers

[SFNDMK]

hip hop aint dead and wonty die for a long time but what people need to do is to know for every lil gayne soulja fag there are artists there doing the damn thing all you have to do is look i thought it was dead until i started listening to papoose and immortal technique are just a few examples 

[bingrim]

marley marl ...house of hits

[briss52]

i was watching this video and i see in the suggestion bare the video hip hop live... youtoube can't say it better... i don't care of all the shitty music that is made today because when i hear masta ace spit some verse that is exactly what i'm feeling... hip hop is still alive

[Farbautisonn]

Anyone who thinks 50cent or Eminem can hold a candle to Masta Ace or any of the old school east coast rappers need to shut the fuck up and listen to their beats, rhymes and flow.

[thekingofm]

where I disagree that if you like a current artist you can't appreciate the talent of the forefathers, I do agree - this is the crux of lyrical talent.

[streetsk8erhomie]

he kinda sounds like ice T..in this song haha,but still a sick song mane.

[flyculture21]

@1eyeosullivan No he didn't Masta Ace put this song out in 1990 and it was finished in 89'. YG'z didn't sample it until 93'. Masta Ace is the full originator of this beat. Do your research homie.

[TupacDaDon]

I love the vibe of this song, for me its a classic

peace

[qwandiddy]

@derrelJ Don't forget DRAKE, He suck too!!!

[1eyeosullivan]

he took dis from the ygz--- Itchy Trigger Finger

check it out 

[marselus88]

CLASSIC!

[mypennpadyo]

yeah PEAMSIgnd7 Last Emperor is right behind him on that list...and as far as you PrettyBoiFloydKB....first of all fugayze...screenname and no one is talking about him being respected...he obviously is by tons of fans...but he is underrated...he's the only member of the JUICE crew...still making good records...and that's why he's underrated cause when they talk JUICE CREW he's rarely mentioned...it's always Kane, Crag G, G Rap, and Biz...damn your dumb...

[isavakoya]

Hip-Hop at it's best

[feeltherealness]

kendricks sample. get at me

[kwkable11]

@feeltherealness" If You Let Me" by E.K. Quit playin'! Kw knows these musical samples, well, at least this time. Holla at yo' boy!

@kwkable11 foreeaalll

[mypennpadyo]

MOST UNDERRATED EVER

[PrettyBoiFloydKB]

This new shit thats been going strong for at least a decade now!! is gonna be gone to shit, because its not relevant . Ya'll want real Hip Hop,,check my mans Skyzoo, Sean Price, Torae, Reks!! the list goes on!! REAL HIP HOP Lives!!

[perdono007]

reality!!!!

[planetarycitizen1]

Who ever says, "Hip-Hop" is dead, ya'll some stupid mothafuckas. Hip-Hop was always alive, and will ALWAYS be alive. Real Hip-Hop is just more low-key now in days, so get yo shit straight kittys.

[jordanrael420]

@planetarycitizen1 fuck yea u gotta dig deep for some shit with good beats and lyrics

[HipHopHead187]

@jordanrael420 Best beat maker & he's number 1 on da top 100 list of best DJ's & beat makers.............yup DJ Premier aka Premo aka Preme. I personally think he's da best along wit Pete rock, Q tip,Alchemist, & I also like da RZA & 9th wonder's work.

[josheaves15]

first guy i herd say that hip hop was dead is kanye west in his mainstream music

[opydopy]

ironic eh?

[adanebi]

but what i see is... spliffs ain't burning like they used to... cans ain't spraying like they used to... the music died too...the vibe is long gone...i'd have to go cross town to find somebody who'd appreciate this joint...just a bunch of wannabe skaters and their groupie cunts....listening to krs-one and FALL OUT BOY like WTF??? i gave up on the culture a long time ago ;)

[hero1167]

@adanebi

hey man, im a skater but i fucking only listen to real hip hop from the underground.

[adanebi]

@hero1167 kudos to you then. i bet there are plenty of those like you out there. but they are at least 1:5 to the rest

[hero1167]

@adanebi

for sure. im just sayin it in the perspective of a stereotypical point of view.

R.I.P Big L

[cecootsofiq]

i also skate man and this is the shit for me

[mm1k3y]

@hero1167 and?

[thesouthrapsucks]

im 16 and hiphop is fuckin dead as fuck this erais gone and its sad i wish i was around then..............

[werabunny]

@thesouthrapsucks still many dope rappers, new and old. support those one.

[qwandiddy]

@thesouthrapsucks Yeah man, Im so sorry for you that you wasn't born when the Hip Hop was Real Until Tupac and Biggie died. But You keep on the good work man, help us keep the Hip Hop Classic.

[thesouthrapsucks]

r.i.p hiphop

[tlemlluf]

hip hop aint dead. there are tons of new great songs.. i dont like the mainstream very much, but check out rhymesayers at least.

[rmidd23]

RIP

[moss824]

he is still makin FANTASTIC music to this day...just like he always has!!! Also check out EMC

[zuzieh]

@ SHIZZLEDAHIZZLE;

Anyway, at the end of the day all that matters is the music... the good rap will never fade and will continue to appeal to coming generations like you...Keep your eyes open for people who ARE ABLE to feel the magic and relevance of tunes like this! And even if you were the only person in the whole country listening to these great tunes it wouldn't matter since it is all about what you feel when "tune in"! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC & PROMOTE IT as well as DEFEND IT!

[swissguy848]

great comment

[paco0153]

It's MastA Ace. Not Master lol

Love this jam

[2620bluntsmoker]

@paco0153 master ace was his name back then. think he changed it to masta ace in the late 90's.

[kwkable11]

@paco0153 His name was spelled "Master Ace" in 1990 when this album " Take A Look Around" came out. He changed it shortly thereafter.

[ShizzleDaHizzle]

im from germany and 15..nobody in my city knows real old school..they listen to the new shit..at first I did it too but I loooooove old school..I dont know how I survived without music like this..

[ruffdog42]

cool story BRO

[Thomassonigo]

sorry but if u listen to 50cent u dont understand lyrical talent..

[qwandiddy]

@Thomassonigo 50 cent aint no real east coast. He's just as BAD as Lil Wayne and that Soulja_shit or whetever u call it.

[Jordilogie]

@Thomassonigo (Y) 50's lyrics are written by an lyricwriter...

wack....

[Thomassonigo]

@Jordilogie woord

[addictedShinobi]

@Thomassonigo closed minded hip hop thinking

[iHalfManHalfAmazing]

@Thomassonigo

50 cent is good.

[iHalfManHalfAmazing]

@Thomassonigo

50 cent is good.

[qwandiddy]

@iHalfManHalfAmazing Get the fuck outta here, are you 16??? 50 cent can't get no rhythem or nothing from this real Hip Hop, Neither does Jay Z, Fabulous, Eminem or even Juez Santana, Jim Jones, Jadakiss. Thanks to faggot P Diddy that killed East Coast Hip Hop.

[iHalfManHalfAmazing]

@qwandiddy

oh shut up, your just another mad nerd going on about this "who killed hip hop" shit.

get over it, a music genre cant be killed.

[qwandiddy]

@iHalfManHalfAmazing You're probably around with your faggot ass crew wearing Skinny jeans, jerkin around listenin to Lil Wayne, New Boyz, SOuljaboy all day long, what the fuck do you know about this real hip hop anyway? Again you're probably 14-16 years old and jealous because you wasn't around when Real Hip Hop was around 1978-1996. So Shut your faggot sorry little ass UP. Hip Hop is Dead now, so you need to get over it and learn more, quit listen to radio, MTV all the fuckin time.

[iHalfManHalfAmazing]

@qwandiddy

you still mad? i dont listen to those artists you mentioned, and i dont wear sinny jeans.

and on top of that, what do you know about what i do or dont know? and youve also guessed my age wrong. why did you stop at 16, what? are you 17 or 18?

oooh, big difference.

your a big boy arent you? and i dont listen to the radio, nore do i have cable.

so just do your self a favor and stay quiet, your making yourself look like an asshole.

[leobdope]

@qwandiddy hip hop aint dead fool... u juz as bad as those skinny jean wearin soulja boy listenin teenipopers... cuz u buyin what the mainstream sellin ya... hip hop aint dead... can't believe ppl still on that shit...

[qwandiddy]

@leobdope WTF you talkin about? I only listen to Underground Hip Hop/ Hip Hop from 80s to 1997. Hip Hop after 1997 is fu_ked up wack. You're probably an teenager wearin skinny jeans, listenin to WACKA FLAKA bullshit. Get a Life. You don't know shit about this old school Masta Ace.

[leobdope]

@qwandiddy ahhaha and imma bet that u would bet everyone wears skinny jeans ... im juz sayin if u aint listenin to hip hop in the 2000's then it may be dead for you... canibus dropped a new album its dope... joel ortiz is dope... EMC still siick... aotp came out some more shit... Sean P always rockin it... these are juz dudes im rockin to now... stop believin everything the media tells ya foo hip hop aint dead...

[buckeye257]

@qwandiddy Cannabis is about the only person in your list I would listen to and actually Cannabis is an old school rapper. He was in rapped with Red man, LL Cool J and Dmx in this song called 4,3,2,1, check it out.

[lotarija]

@Thomassonigo 50 is lyricly talented

[leobdope]

@lotarija 50 cent lyrically talented... are you smoooked?!

[qwandiddy]

@leobdope WHERE IS REAL HIP HOP AT TODAY U IDIOT? IT AINT NONE!!!

[skopyissexy]

@Thomassonigo Listen to "Power of The Dollar" and you will see that 50 cent actually has some good lyrical skill and great beats. I don't really like his new shit though.

[omgdozer]

@Thomassonigo not exactly, look at the power of a dollar album, thats the album he released before he became an industry nigga

[zukarius]

@Thomassonigo oww why you hatin on fifty?

that whole get rich or die tryin' is dopee, hes got talent...

masta ace is SO underrated tho its unreal, unfair.

[2sdd]

game is good. 50 WAS good

thats the difference

[ThaPlatform]

@RaineR3313 yo check apathy, hes still droppin shit, bit newer feel but hes mad ill

[RaineR3313]

@ThaPlatform i like apathy.. ''ít takes a seven nation army'''...''ain nuthin nice''...etc

[afreshreaction]
