[michitos213]

calidad de hip-hop esa era musica no como ahora el hip hop es basura

[ripBiGGie2121]

mann i miss this.. this is the essence of hip hop...the music nowadaysis terrible with no talent...rip big, pac, eazy, jam masta jay, and the rest of the REAL HIP HOP..brings a tear to my eye..

[OusmandTakeover]

At least we know that whoever made the Tide commercial has a good taste in music.

[Olgahh]

nice nice =)

[Bonnie79]

I miss the good ol days, rap music has been on the decline for a while now. Its sad that the real talented rappers don't get signed any more. Its all about how to make a quick buck, no one is creative any more. Everything sounds the same.smh

[sedlaaay]

"we b 2 rap, what key be 2 lock." smoooooooooooth!

[iluvmuzik92]

im kool lke datt classik muzikk u cnt front cl smooth biggie tupac ect

I didn't know the song was so old, I like it alot

[brnskndst]

love this song

[cronicon24]

That song is 16 years old? Wow! I heard it for the first time in a Tides commercial and immediately bought on itunes! Love it!

[brnskndst]

@cronicon24 it was so ironic when I heard this in the tide commercial as well. I grew up listening to this song and was very surprised that Tide used a hip hop song period lol.

[bmax2u]

Yo, peeps....dat is ol' skool...DOPE!!!

[chitownzfinezt]

The swagger of this song...so unique

[mwvr44]

e40 ripped off butterflies verse we be 2 rap wat key 2 lock

[bubbagummy]

duh many rappers do that its not a crime still this song is sick

[TekNiquePro]

ur stupid. #1 - e40 isnt the producer, hes a rapper therefor had nothing to do with the beat besides spittin over it. #2 - its called a sample, maybe youve heard of kanye, or premo, or j dilla, or 9th wonder, or nujabes, or timbaland, or heatmakers, or 88keys...jus to name a few who accordin to u, rip off artists.

[TrojanHulk]

He ment the verse dude! not the beat!

[TekNiquePro]

no....he didnt. in the track yay area the sample "we be to rap what key be to lock" is repeated thruout the whole song. hence...the sample. i mentioned the beat, cuz ITS PART OF THE BEAT, which led me to say e40 didnt produce it so he had nothing to do with the SAMPLE used. get it?

[CutBakKid]

yay area rocks!

[MaravillaBrownie626]

where are the other millions of views that i thought this vid was gonna have..?

[Goldenappl]

thats good question. none of my freinds have ever heard this song.

[MallyMall7]

[angryalan]

Real music made by real musicians

[Haze666]

Now that's what's up. How the hell did music as good as this get taken over by the shit that's popular today...

[mrrobinzine]

This is TRUE rap music. It's a shame that today's rap is dominated by all the D4L and Soulja Boy snap crunk bullshit.

Real music never gets old

[JKMassaro]

Ask butter how I zone...

[debayanbanerjee]

Ask the new kids on the block to make a rap/hip-hop track without naked babes and cuss lyrics. They will fail miserably.

Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a top class song can be made without any nudity or cuss lyrics

This is the original. What rap is meant to be

[parkdale420]

The words make the songs...they don't gotta be clean..LOL

[67holla]

i heard this on freedom writers.

[lovechyl]

This is why You tube keeps me up all night. We be to rap what key be to lock.. that phrase goes through my head at least 5 times a week. Thanks for posting this

[LesaneRecords]

Damn, the old school danshall is so dope.

[og23loc]

[PervertedHerbert]

[sheldons7]

This song is the epitome of coole...

Long live the 90s...I wanna go back everyday yo....
