@nicklong1981 word everyone killed the beat! straight raw shit

[nicklong1981]

who had the better verse grand puba or sadat x? its a tie for me

[trappedinlife29]

People need their heads examined if they think any of that new MTV shit can touch anything from the mid 90's.

Kids nowadays dont know what their missing out on unless they ignore what they are told by the media and start digging a little deeper for some real dope shit like this.

[nicklong1981]

@trappedinlife29 yeah this is the real right here you'll never hear nothing like this on radio ever again those days are gone

[Boogers4dinner]

I was just looking for something with Sadat X and Lord Finesse....and VOILA! LOL

I loved both of their flows. Sadat X raps like he's talking to you. I like that. I guess that's why I love KRS ONE as well.

[BigDG80]

damn, this joint is nuts

[GeniusStroke]

When the labels sign new cat's they should make'em watch an study this one! SKILLS from the beginning to end!

All these Emcee's are Titans!

"You didn't buy this album... you played yaself you shoulda copped it"

[spideymayne]

This is 95, right? I haven't heard this in years.

What happened to Lord Finesse, anyways?

[HipHopHead15]

one of the hardest hiphop songs ever,what you mean lil wayne is hiphop,get da fuck outta here fuckin faggots,im 15 and emcees like lord finesse are the niggas i look up too,does anobody know who made this ridicilous beat, i think large pro

[Godsuhn]

@HipHopHead15 I made this track- Jesse West. My boy Myke Lo added a few things. I actually was at Myke's house when I made this track, using his sp1200 and diggin in his crates just for rec. Just to kill time. Sometimes thats when you come up with the hottest shit.. ONE!!!!

[HipHopHead15]

No shit,much respect to you man,that beat is crazy

[RareRapVideoz]

@HipHopHead15 ya pretty sure it was large professor

[lexplug]

SUPERB! :-D

[McNastee101]

Finese is slept on for his production, let alone Rhyme-Skill! that whole EP is Coconutts...

[tehutiheru]

How many of you kids See Fat Joe on the Up-Right Bass? Yes this is His Original Crew Way before this Gangster Crap Music. No Disrespect to my Real Gangsters on the Streets. But Joe was with the Real Hip Hop Giants before 50 cents was with Biggie & Puffy.Food for thought.

[MrBluntRap]

finesse.... lol you got earz

[MrBluntRap]

You can just tell by his style

[neobloodgouki]

U got A point

[basslabmechanic87]

I defy any new jack today to write a better rhyme or freestyle a better rhyme than these. Sadat X, Large Pro, Grand Puba and Lord Finesse is a lethal combination.

[enem178]

Finesse!!

[DeaconCliff]

I am sitting here reminiscing. Back in the rebellious and angry days. Anyway I am looking all over the net for the song Lord Finesse did way back with the Alkaholics. Anyone have any idea of that song? It has to be at least 1992. And the other song that begins "back in the day I was living swell see, I was riding bikes, rollerskating and playing skeldies. Now a days things be different, shorties be ???? the ????? won't listen...." Anyone have any idea of those songs? I am searching all over...

[jinjajoe]

The track your lookin for that starts back in the day is called s.k.i.t.s its a seriously Ill track respect!

[DeaconCliff]

yes that is it Shorty's Kaught in the System. Thanks.

[TrqLvr]

Sadat absolutely dismantled the track straight out the gate. This is definitely another one of those old school bangers that defines hip hop in my mind.

[Dado75]

"Guerilla tactics, staged theatrics, she's waitin' on the mattress, i'm hikin up the black dress." so smooth.

[Dado75]

"layin" not waitin; my bad.. ;p

[PainfulSerpentProTV]

Finesse always sick

[Sag121068]

Puba RIPPED IT !!!!!!

[IxRyderxl]

Was that the homie Fat Joe at 0:19?

[CrunkKing232]

yeah ditc days ag at 1:48

[Boogers4dinner]

My style is tricky like spelling Mississippi. LOL That's good shit. Fat Joe was in this video too because he was part of the Digging in the Crates crew. I had all the real shit back in my day. Only thing though Puba messed up...Jada doesn't bag dimes Jada is the dime. The way he said it can make you think that Jada is the male bagging dimes. LOL

[t2v3illen]

Heaven

[SMUFNYS]

1:48 AG

2:18 DIAMOND D

[Punnch08]

Okay kiddies, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS.....and you might learn something. Damn I loved that era.

[Morten75Morten]

Word ´em up!!! that was the ish, for real, i dearly miss those days

[lildrey2003]

@Punnch08 lol beast time in music was the 90's these kids dont know what real rap is

[chrisasscanyo]

@Punnch08

rap will never be better then when it was at this time

[primestar2001]

That was real G. I forgot all bout these dudes.

[larryissweet]

im the real fineese

[barlog20]

Is there any collaboration where Lord Finese does`nt outshine everybody on it?

[tomwatson1]

yea the ones where big L are on the track,,, pretty much a 50/50 tie between them

[barlog20]

Oh, you talking about that song from showbiz and AG called "represent"?

[thisonerightMFhere]

5 Finger Of Death

[tableturns77]

why cant producers make beats like this anymore? wtf is the problem i dont understand it i mean even premiers beats on blaq poet's new album aint even what they used to be shit is just wack fuck these new times

[83BarFly]

Lol, didn't Primo flop he he started producing for Christina Aguilera!?!

Good Hiphop's till about, we jsut have to make mor of an efort to look for it bcase all these wack cunts in the mainstream are getting the attention.

Some soopa producer living legends: Madlib, Kan-kick, Flyig Lotus, to name a few.

[raskullibur]

Sadat X is one of he most Original Rap artist out there

[nptrock]

finesse & large pro alwayz come correct!

[sourpuss909]

[bg95210]

[dazamaru]

[hobblesthepresident]

[hobblesthepresident]

[Mackadoeshez]

Krazy ill joint!

[fettnyc]

I agree with Sank4man, Lord Finesse rips this.

[fettnyc]

Who ripped it the most? What do ya'll think? Post up.

[BiGsLeAzY420151]

grand puba

[SanK4man]

Lord Finesse

[fakecape]

SADAT X made this for me.

[blacknuyorican]

Lord Finesse definitely ripped it

[inDECKs]

Lord Finesse is a lucky boy, hosting a show with Fat Man Scoop as the emcee, Fat joe on double bass, Diamond D on drums, KRS One on piano, either Buckwild or EvilDee on the decks and Large Professor, Sadat X, Grand Puba as guests.

[iancurtis86]

it must be Buckwild on decks, he was Finesse's DJ at the time.

Large Pro makin' it

(AG at 1:48)

[bolinek1992]

ostr ft sadat x

[Icedrunk1]

I had forgotten this one; this sh!t is hot!!! Good lookin' on this post...

[Monicadominguez2393]

LMFAO @ Fat Joe on the Bass LOL

[gsuperior777]

lord finesse is a grand master mc

[ComputerCkat]

diamond d on the drums

[pulocspurcat]

is that chuck d on the drums ??

[parapandi]

great

[mygameis2cool4u]

sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LargePro]

lotta epic dudes in this vid.. even in the audience

[gemoorer]

Yeah a straight up Whos Who of NY golden age boom bap!!! Extra P ripped it. I gotta blow the dust of this CD!

[TripleRp]

This is one of the greatest rhymes I ever heard from the Lord. He is a very clever MC. I loved Large Professoer too, people don't get it, Nas came up under dudes like this.

[karlsylvain]

my all time favorite track

da awakening is a classic

[8989tom8989]

HOLD UP!! I Just saw Big L at 1:30. He made a cameo in this??

[KhanateSunn]

ill beat. axelrod on keys. the smile.. soi

[sociobalto]

and dj evil dee, masterpiece

[Tha6l9]

Is that Pete Rock at 0:46? MOD!!!

Dope Track.

[07specstrum]

spread the word like informants'

[huntedrasta]

wait a second.... fat joe doesn't actually play double bass though ?!

[83BarFly]

Amazing lyrical styles, an IMMENSE beat!!! No bullshit hook......

True hiphop!

[CorleoneNelson]

this a classic /lord finesse as always kills it again

[lifesqaud]

true east artists

[ssapache]

east's style at its finest

[jessedub]

one of my favorite songs of all times

[hankseptember]

Sadat just dropped a new one,check it 'Generation X'

[berniesalzburg]

supreme

[SupremeCCipherAllah]

What?

[classof77]

God damn this joint is premium. Wall to wall skills.

Sadat X - twists and turns like a sidewinder

Large Pro - quotable gems

Puba - total laid back authority, everything flows

Lord Finesse - has more punchlines than Johnny Carson's career

[DomJNice]

Perfectly put tho. I feelz you on that.

[slimmoreno]

This track is hot. However the piano sample sounds similar to Pete Rock "Strange Fruit"........both could be using the same Nina Simone sample

[newshyheim9]

i see KRS and pete rock,im sure about pete rock...

[iancurtis86]

Yes, KRS at 0:23

[earned80]

diamond d on percussion fat joe on the strings  CLASSIC

[S4N3x]

1:30 Big L

[newshyheim9]

Damn Right S4N3X

[sofiazuu]

creamy ass rhyme flow

[politicalbrownkid]

Lots of true heads up in this video.

[petrauskasss]

respect to Grand Puba.

[malevolentintellect]

personally i think Extra P killed it but everybody come on this. i miss the DITC collabos...

[c0nfu53d]

classic hip hop, lord finesse kills this track like no other

[intellectuallygifted]

wow compare this brilliance to today's ti, lil wayne, and other shit

[ejr1978]

I think it's ironic that Pete Rock was in this video. This song sounds like an interpretation of "Strange Fruit", which Pete Rock also mixed into his own "Strange Fruit" three years later on his solo album.

[smokey631]

this is for "joseugs"

lmao krs one has nuttin to do with DITC that was buckwild the producer

[iamyourmessiah]

actually though krs mighta not really been a part of ditc i think they were down. and in the video it's definitely krs one. perhaps buckwild too, but i not too sure on that. i really didnt expect that big l cameo tho, that was fuckin cool!

[iamyourmessiah]

and krs was actually feautured on ditc's worldwide album, even if it was only on one track :P

[woogleslap]

krs has recorded with ditc before.

[Redix9Click]

BOMBA!! rivoglio quegli anni !!!

[NastyNak]

oh shit I was bumping this song like CRAZY~!

[PG023]

wosh!! dope

[avalino79]

"... my style is tricky, like spellin.." shit even i cant spell that hahahaa

love this track since day one i saw on RAPCITY with JOE CLEEEEZEEEEE

[phonicphone]

how bout fat joe on the cello with the hoodie in the ditc days.

fresh. i remember when this came on bet. don't look now.

[HeavyMetalJack]

the last mc is lord finesse

[jezai6245]

1. sadat x 2. grand puba 3. lord finesse 4. large professor

[pixiLL]

pretty sure its:

1.Sadat X 2. Large Pro 3.Grand Puba 4. Lord Finesse.

[GoryOrator]

You sir are correct!!

[pixiLL]

ha. thanks. except for the sir part...

dunno, being a female and being called sir just doesn't do it for me :-P

[GoryOrator]

You're a female?? Sorry, my apologies. You have dope taste for a female!!

[GoryOrator]

You fuckin' fail...

[SanK4man]

Lord Finesse is way ahead other MC's in this joint.. but they all good.. pce yo chill..

[EtTenusRedRumdRanReb]

Exactly. Finesse was so sick around 95 haha.

Surely one of the best ever then.

Too bad he didn't drop an album afterwards. The guy combined higher maths with REAL lyrics and mad metaphores.

[gotnokush]

90 through 95 was the best era ever in hip hop

[jamesoverend]

I love how they got Pete Rock. Big L, KRS, Diamond, Big Pun and so many other MCs to show up for this video. Who else is in there?

[Mohammets]

Wasn't that Chuck D. playing the drums

[joseugs]

that's Diamond D on the drums & KRS on the piano

[JusBeCuzz]

Fat Joe on the bass. And I swear that's Diamond D on the drums.

[GoryOrator]

You're absolutely correct...

[timothyw33]

classic real rap

[Tubztele]

Didn't buy my album, yah played yaself ya shoulda copped it---transending peace
