i never know who did this song i knew the words, i love it,powerful poetry and great beat.i am now going to turn my kids onto Spooks ,long live the music,sorry about your friend ,gods child now.once more.
@lzc302, I just want to tell you that you are very talented and creative dummer. Thanks for being the backbone to this track and others that played a special part in my childhood. cheers man :)
I'm the Drummer on this track, and others. I met the leader of The Spooks, Booka-T, one night in Brooklyn in a Deli. I was playing on giant pickle jars at the couinter, as if they were bongos, when he approached me. The rest as they say, is History.-Renaissance Man aka Ren-Dog.
I agree. It sounds as if the game of russian roulette is a metaphor for dicing with their life with drugs. The song sounds like it's a hotel of vices so drug use would fit perfectly into that catagory.
Did anyone else think that the first verse ( about Russian roulette) might be a metaphor for drug use? - " Next morning cops found me, needle stickin' out my arm, peep the drama, another sad story at the karma."
@SinSam90 I was the Drummer on this. They broke up about two years later after the death of MC 'Water Water'(RIP). Nice to see that you folks dig this, thanks.
People are more familiar with the one they saw on TV I guess. The other version annoys me though, the lyrics on this one have a more natural feel to it.
Didnt Laurence Fishburne bring this group out. Thanks for the post , I ve only heard " The Things Ive seen" once and have been looking for it ever since. Hats off to ya
I used to be a rap addict, when rap music was like this I would walk around town dancing. :P
To bad I dance to the crappy rap songs now... Lol
"Yeah bitch.... Money shot.... I GOT THE CARS, THE MONEY, THE BITCHES, THE DRUGS MAN I GOT IT ALL YEAH JUST CAUSE I'M BACKING UP MY RANDOM TALKING WITH BEATS!! RETARDED TEENAGERS LOVE IT! THATS RIGHTTTTT BITCH.
XD
Anyway great video 5/5 thanks for not cutting anything out!
