Absolutely spot-on! How anybody can dislike this is beyond me! True lyricism, REAl Hip-Hop, this is the kind of material that never ages, just gets better with time, particularly now with the Shit-Hop foistered upon us!
one of the greatest hip hop tracks ever, this song has everything: beat, content, flow, social value... and only 80k views in almost 4years ^^ (while ink my whole body of wiz khalifa has millions becuz of the same beat, it cant be his lyrics so WTF)
One of my all time favorite tracks! The sample on the hook is so deftly crafted, this is Paris at the top of his production game. Just listen to the lyrics, so much truth behind it. I was so fortunate to come of age when Lyrical substance and Afrocentricity were major factors in the Rap Game . Now we have clowns like Lil Wayne sporting women's leggins down on his ass! Damn Shame
Damn....this shit damn near brings a tear to my eye as I listen to it....for real for real!! I remember this from back in da day & it's message still applies. True to life shit right here!! "Alot of us like to blame the white man, until we understand that the problem is no longer him"! Preach Paris...
da ending wit the covering of da face hit me hard..time fa all of us to quit shooting eachother ova bullshit reasons no matter ur white, black or brown we all in tha same struggle..
This beat is originally from the Geto Boys, Mind Playing Tricks on Me 1991. In addition, the beat was utilized by Dr. Dre, when he was on the Death Row Label. The song is called "Stranded Death Row", 1992, The Chronic.
@1:46, 'You start to believe that black folk are savage, but before you do, allow me to say, that in the old days we didn't act that way see, Kings & Queens were the names of the righteous, but the sons of slaves are insane and we might just, self destruct an erupt without a chance to grow, this ain't the days of old'. That's some of the most profound lyrics in hip hop histrory, describes our people, and our plight here in "Amerikkka" to a tee, wake up Brotha's n Sista's, classic 90's hip hop...
With nothing new under sun, neither times nor situations change. What does change is our awareness of situations. Kids see things differently than adults, ...they are way more resilient and optimistic and hopeful. We think things have changed, when it is really us who have grown bitter to our situations... if you don't believe me, just check out history, decade by decade, and the gripes hopes and concerns from generation to generation for as far as you want to go back... notice any patterns?
This cut is also on the movie, STRAPPED (Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Biehn, Fredro Starr, Craig Wasson, Kia Goodwin, Monie Love, Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins, Dina Meyer, Busta Rhymes, Kook Moe Dee, Sticky Fingaz, Wendell Pierce), directed by Forest Whitaker. GREAT MOVIE, GREAT TRACK!
@BboyLilNocturnal They just don't know how 2 appreciate REAL Hip Hop. This is real-not the watered-down stuff u hear on the radio. Paris is one of the most influential MC's of our time. His legacy will live on.
@IceManLikeGervin I agree with you 100% This song and the video are very touching. Back in the day alot of us black folks use to get pumped up and we wanted to fight the power. But deep down,we were too busy fighting among ourselves.
Some of us black folks don't understand the concept of Edutainment. Many of us just want to be ENTERTAINED! This song and video helps me to reflect on the BIGGER issue that affects us more than racism..That's Self-hatred. Only we can keep ourselves in check!!
@mahood96 guessing cuz your name is manhood96 im gonna throw out that your 14? if so, you just proved that only kids listen to that shit. why? because kids are fuckin stupid and are only concerned with shiny objects, dumbed down lyrics, and the social norm. paris would lyrically rip wiz's asshole out of his mouth
Can’t emphasize enough the power a song like this could make on the black community, need to remake and disturb again to the “so call” black own radio stations and music video programs and if they don’t play” expose them and don’t patronize….”
"Can't Do Anything Without Some Fool Actin' Up, You Start To Believe That Black Folk Are Savage But, Before You Do Allow Me To Say That In The Old Day's We Didn't Act That Way See, Kings And Queens Were The Name's Of The Righteous But The Son's Of Slave's Are Insane And We Might Just, Self Destruct And Erupt Without A Chance To Grow, This Ain't The Day's Of Old".
Real talk! We all betta recognize and wise up. Stop fallin' victim to bullshit. Learn, grow, and teach our youth's.
@eyesmcgyver Wiz Khalifa is a monster and you cant really hate on him for taking a sample and changing it up, this is killer too and I agree it deserves a lot more views but people moving on from the golden ages of hip hop onto bullshit like Lil Wayne
@BlIIzY Music and Movies are like people. As time gets older so do traditional ways. Look at women now compared to how they were just 40 years ago. Most women are sluts now, like how Common described Hip-Hop through a woman's soul. That's what it is, Hip-Hop is a slut now, meaningless but at least with sluts some guys use for fun you can't even enjoy a few seconds of Little Wayne. As for Wiz Khalifa? What song are you referring too? Wiz is just a smarter version of Lil Wayne, same ole gimmick.
@MobHeataEnt Yeah I compeletly agree and im not saying I like every song by Wiz its not close to the old days like this but its not like lil wayne only talking about drugs, guns money and bitches in autotune,
@MobHeataEnt Yeah I completely agree and im not saying I like every song by Wiz its not close to the old days like this but its not like lil wayne only talking about drugs, guns money and bitches in autotune,
@kissmarton I was confused about that too, but I assume it's just the copywrite info..there's nothing like this around these days..nothing like the Days of Old.
true tht thy fuckin killin us with thy stupid shit thy do but stll thy cant face the real hiphop rapers and mc's and to lt you know real hiphop is so underground im in love with ths music for 6 years and im from gulf , middle east , bahrain,manama but im african muslim so ths s what im listnin to and bboyin is what i do so fuck lil wayne and hes fans PEACE
Rap with a message was lost long ago. No one out today that can compare to paris, pe, booyaa, Blac monks, hell even a tribe called quest. Last 10 years or so been about nothin but image.
Thanks to listening to PARIS i'm now exploring 70's funk/soul acts like the blackbyrds/ gap band etc, this is real music, hip hop funk soul jazz, i love it.
i feel soul...hiphop was our tool of unity but we gave it away..,.,its so much more then music its religion of humanity...don't trust me jest listen to the beat...it has soul
I was just talking to my younger cousin about how it used to be in the innercity back in the day. Staying out late ,we'd never want to go home. We never had to worry about getting shot, maybe beat up,but a boy could learn how to stand up and be a man. Baseball fields were always full,and people just got along for the most part...and then crack came,along with the gangs and gun shots every where,AIDS,Playstation,laziness...
Classic song. Amazing beat, amazing lyrics, and amazing video. Nowadays everywhere you are the only thing you'll witness is songs with computer made beats, talking about grills and driving cars while having sex with 10 different hoes and videos featuring a bunch of whores together with the "rapper" in a club. How ironic the originators of all of this are respected to the fullest by hip hop heads, Slick Rick was perhaps the first to look pimped out, Big Daddy Kane was the first to make r&b/rap...
This song has so much soul in it and positive message. This song has only 18,350 views while Lil Wayne's Lollipop has 40 million, and Soulja Boy's Soulja Girl has 24 million. That show's that most people are just ignorant and dumb.
@MobHeataEnt it shows nothing but what kids listen to today. Lil'Wayne and Soulja Boy is played on TV, radio and you cant avoid finding them on the internet. But only true hip hop fans know about these dope underground rappers. If media played underground hip hop Lil'Wayne and Soulja Boy would be cleaning the toilets at mc'donalds.
Wish the media could play shit like this. then it actually be worth getting a Radio.
eh bro..i feel you..straight up...i've this song in my head for 15 years damn near..this just a straight up good tune, track and all, but there's also a message...times have changed bro, times have changed..
@MobHeataEnt You truly have a point! Now hip-hop was suppose to be about having fun, but we could also use some edutainment with a krs-1,paris,p.enemy,dead prez,etc. These cats still are relevant cause our struggle STILL exists. Our war with racsim is still here,however we've been fighting self-hatred and ignorance the longest and it's left more casualties.Now back to hip-hop being fun.Nothing wrong with that,but I agree it's sad that many of us are fascinated with clowns then with the truth.
@MobHeataEnt That's because the younger generation is so stuck on cars, jewelry, women, etc. Many of the young rappers of today don't really put out a positive message like they did back in the day. You must also remember that this song came out in 1992. Paris was WAY ahead of his time. He still continues to make positive music even to this day. I just wish the younger rappers would wake up & take heed to what's being said in this particular message. Paris is one of the realest MC's EVER!
Damn', a man with something to express and give, a rare thing nowadays. Used to kick back in Spain listening to this with the Ghost Rider of Calahonda :-).
classic! THIS is my youth, my live.....I am 37 years old, and this song is my mind eveyday! Thank u Paris, for makin this music and spreadin this message....
Classic and thought provoking hip hop. The fact that it only has 14,500 views when all the other hollow rubbish out there gets millions of views says something about us as a community.
Paris Brother .... you're spot on brother - we miss the days of old.
yep thats sad thats because most people are stupid and fooled and controled through the media and subliminal advertising and a changing society. its like immortal technique talks about backpack rappers if your album goes platinum it means a million people are stupid as fuck.
Homes you can't even compare those two! Look man I'm from Serbia, I was at Paris his concert! The man gave me a hand shake and I told him Iam happy to finaly meet you. He said the same for me and much respect my brother!! He was down to earth and giving respect. One of the best moments in my life , cause I know what stands for, and that is what we all stand for. PEACE my Brothers!
From all the articles that ive read, Dj shadow supposedly produced this track along with 2 others. As well as doing co-production and laying down some scratches.
I believe it's off because of some copyright stuff. If you get a chance, check it out on his website. It's one of his best songs ever-if you never heard it.
nothing touches this era of classic shit. this reminds me of back in the day when i used to wear condoms to parties and always had a fist of vaseline and chile powder. shit ain't the same. we might as well all implode. serious.
ok well i guess i wuz wrong -- DJ Shadow didnt produce this whole album. i just looked up if he did any production on this album, and his website sayz that he produced The Days of Old, and also produced Funky Lil Party and Make Way For a Panther...i dont have tha album credits so if what you're sayin iz right then i guess that Shadow just wuznt credited...
1st off, let me say that i am much more a fan of Paris than i am of DJ Shadow...in fact, i'm not even a DJ Shadow fan, but i dont understand why he would wanna take credit for production on 3 Paris songz if he didnt have anything to do with them. its alot eazier to beleive that someone wuz left out from credits, then to beleive that they would lie and say that they produced a track that they had nothin to do with.
Absolutely spot-on! How anybody can dislike this is beyond me! True lyricism, REAl Hip-Hop, this is the kind of material that never ages, just gets better with time, particularly now with the Shit-Hop foistered upon us!

This song has so much soul in it and positive message. This song has only 18,350 views while Lil Wayne's Lollipop has 40 million, and Soulja Boy's Soulja Girl has 24 million. That show's that most people are just ignorant and dumb.

@MobHeataEnt Mindless music for the masses. I swear, thinking must hurt for the majority.

i feel you b, but i dont think its peoples ignorance, i think its just the times changing.
This song is from back in 2003 (now 7 years ago which is a long time) less people were aware of youtube and less songs like this 1 were uploaded.
Hip hop is also more popular now than it was 7 years ago so lil wayne appeals to more people.
Also lil wayne made it commersh, whereas you ask most people who "paris" is theyl say a country.

This song is actually from 92, and statistically speaking their are more dumb people today than before.

@MobHeataEnt it shows nothing but what kids listen to today. Lil'Wayne and Soulja Boy is played on TV, radio and you cant avoid finding them on the internet. But only true hip hop fans know about these dope underground rappers. If media played underground hip hop Lil'Wayne and Soulja Boy would be cleaning the toilets at mc'donalds.
Wish the media could play shit like this. then it actually be worth getting a Radio.

@MobHeataEnt You truly have a point! Now hip-hop was suppose to be about having fun, but we could also use some edutainment with a krs-1,paris,p.enemy,dead prez,etc. These cats still are relevant cause our struggle STILL exists. Our war with racsim is still here,however we've been fighting self-hatred and ignorance the longest and it's left more casualties.Now back to hip-hop being fun.Nothing wrong with that,but I agree it's sad that many of us are fascinated with clowns then with the truth.

@MobHeataEnt That's because the younger generation is so stuck on cars, jewelry, women, etc. Many of the young rappers of today don't really put out a positive message like they did back in the day. You must also remember that this song came out in 1992. Paris was WAY ahead of his time. He still continues to make positive music even to this day. I just wish the younger rappers would wake up & take heed to what's being said in this particular message. Paris is one of the realest MC's EVER!

Classic and thought provoking hip hop. The fact that it only has 14,500 views when all the other hollow rubbish out there gets millions of views says something about us as a community.
Paris Brother .... you're spot on brother - we miss the days of old.
When will we realise.
Mr78611 2 years ago 24
yep thats sad thats because most people are stupid and fooled and controled through the media and subliminal advertising and a changing society. its like immortal technique talks about backpack rappers if your album goes platinum it means a million people are stupid as fuck.

Homes you can't even compare those two! Look man I'm from Serbia, I was at Paris his concert! The man gave me a hand shake and I told him Iam happy to finaly meet you. He said the same for me and much respect my brother!! He was down to earth and giving respect. One of the best moments in my life , cause I know what stands for, and that is what we all stand for. PEACE my Brothers!

From all the articles that ive read, Dj shadow supposedly produced this track along with 2 others. As well as doing co-production and laying down some scratches.
Paris even bought Shadow his MPC60!

I believe it's off because of some copyright stuff. If you get a chance, check it out on his website. It's one of his best songs ever-if you never heard it.

Hell yeah shadow is great, word he produced this?? i always thought Kurious rocked this sample the best, Paris one upped him 10 years later

Nope, Shadow didn't produce this, Paris did. Shadow gave him the sample though. He had a radio show and Shadow used to come through a lot.

Freedom4DaMasses 3 years ago
ok well i guess i wuz wrong -- DJ Shadow didnt produce this whole album. i just looked up if he did any production on this album, and his website sayz that he produced The Days of Old, and also produced Funky Lil Party and Make Way For a Panther...i dont have tha album credits so if what you're sayin iz right then i guess that Shadow just wuznt credited...

egndvs 3 years ago
1st off, let me say that i am much more a fan of Paris than i am of DJ Shadow...in fact, i'm not even a DJ Shadow fan, but i dont understand why he would wanna take credit for production on 3 Paris songz if he didnt have anything to do with them. its alot eazier to beleive that someone wuz left out from credits, then to beleive that they would lie and say that they produced a track that they had nothin to do with.
