Boogie Down Productions "We In There"

[hiphop4life24678]

@Meowsaidthekitty yea i kno bro i hate rap today but there few you can listen to like Hopsin he a dope motherfucker!

[hiphop4life24678]

1985-2000...hip-hop at its best!

[Meowsaidthekitty]

@hiphop4life24678 Still some good shit out there, Damu The Fudgemunk is my favourite at the moment. He still uses floppy disks and mpc

[STR8jACKiTT]

1 person isn't in there

[MoxicoMC]

Love this track...Flava!!!

[rcole718]

"I get my style from KRS One, you biting Treach." I just realized that this line was about D-Nice.

[MasterChee7]

@rcole718 can you elaborate? did someone dis d nice?

[rcole718]

@MasterChee7 This was around the time KRS was cleaning house with BDP. D-Nice had the song called "Time To Flow" that was produced by Kay Gee (I think) and featured Treach. The beat sounded very similar to Naughty's "Guard Your Grill", and D's verse sounded like Treach wrote it.

[PrAnG2000]

@rcole718

I don't think it's about D Nice, it's directed at Ice Cube for what he once said about the Stop The Violence Movement.

[rcole718]

@PrAnG2000 The part I quoted would make more sense about D-Nice than it would Cube. The first verse (and probably the whole song except the one part) is probably about Cube. What I don't get is why Cube would dis "Self Destruction", but was down with PE and was himself a conscious rapper.

[PrAnG2000]

@rcole718

Nah! I think KRS was just looking to bury as many rappers that remotely said something unsavory. I never saw what Cube said as a diss. "Self destruction don't pay the f**kin' rent", was his way of saying he still needs to survive. It sounded aggressive cos he swore, which was his mistake.

[OLDSKOOLNYC1]

Was that beat down scene @ the beginning the infamous PM Dawn Bum rush?

I remember someone saying that almost 20 years ago.

[Smeerlap1234]

Lol, only +/- 32k views on this vid. What more does the rest of the youtube "hiphop community" want?

Probably girls in bikini and spinning gold wheels......

[GMANKOOL23]

can someone please put up a clear, quality version of this song "HD" OR "480", would be most appropriate.

[yootuubinatwerk]

certified long range

[koolsphere]

my favorite shit right here

[rcole718]

I like the other version better.

[SUdatsthecalloftheWU]

When KRS says "Step up with that weak shit" its so cool, i love it man. And listen to this: /watch?v=t081Qy4waZw&feature=r­elated sick sample from this song

[techno370]

they just don't make good music like this no more !!!

[KaniHoodieAndTimbs]

1992 > 2010

[jrpolanco]

esto es lo maximo.BDP in eternal effect!

[clamantuanguyan]

yeah WE IN THERE!

[Bubulah4Ever]

boogie down productions.. krs, kenny and the most underrated hype man of all time willie d.. recognize

[calumetheights]

I know I'm late on this...butreal talk I never knew there was even a video to this song!!! But the dis is for Ice Cube - remember on that song he said "some rappers are heaven sent, but self destruction don't pay the fukkin rent". So that's why KRS says the "....educates people and also pays my rent" line and the main one..."YOU KNOW MY FUKKIN NAME" - because Cube didn't mention him by name. Man - LOVE THAT SONG - wore that cassette out back in 92.

[MrMorningside125]

@calumetheights yea thats true because Krs said, "Why you frontin saying from the coips u bee runnin"...Ice Cube wasn't trying to battle KRS...lol

[bxsix66]

[TalkShitAvenger]

It's fucking heartbreaking that you think this guy has anything to do with what's good or positive. This guy brings people down with positivity. Come for the beat, leave with mental breakdown.

Thanks for the shitty music you ugly baboon. I hate you and your whole being.

[MrMorningside125]

[rexmess]

Word up for that last comment

[iluvmyboba]

One my favorite BDP songs and videos.

My favorite line is: "People died so I could rhyme, you think I'm gonna grab the mic and waste my nations time." Pure genius!!! Never expect anything less from the legendary KRS!!!!!!!

[madcow310]

I second that!!! KRS is brilliant!

[Si1verF0x]

This shit would fucking smash up the place. I remember mans balling for rewinds when it came on in a club. Respect all them who remember this one and way back before.

[BXBOMBR]

That's me-(2:20)red and white shirt!! Now I can show my son! They don't make RAP like this anymore!! Old Skool Heads WHAT UP!!!

[buckie0201]

they sill make this kind of rap, abut u gotta dig underground for it

[keilyngodson26]

So can u get the instrumental or what? This beat is fuckin' nutso

[KnicksBasketballNY]

@BXBOMBR

I remember this like it was yesterday.

Rap City showed more love to this video than Yo Mtv Raps did back then.

Rap City > Yo Mtv Raps.

[Smeerlap1234]

@BXBOMBR

Lol, are you ever mistaken for Mc Search?

But respect that you made an appearance in an epic vid!

[stoenyce]

thank u sir. im well aware of the fact that it was criminal minded and not this album, which was sex and violence.... yes i too know hip hop. be well

[pimpinsi]

This was hot shit nigga. Kris parker is one of the if not the best rapper when it comes to spittin lyrics ever outside of Rakim

[sketsone]

cuz blast masta thinkin long range! :)

[pablo10000000]

krs 1 still got skills from back then till present not a lot of mcs can do that in the game LL is another

[imclimbminds]

0.11 - 0.13 !.....what a tune in !!

[gstrongbricks]

The words to this joint is 4 dudes like you. How did you end up watching this video if its CRAP!

[stoenyce]

straight gangsta shit right here

the 1st to flash the heat on an album cover

[Nyclassic2006]

This wasn't the one he flashed in on tho. I love how people repeat what they see on tv. But yeah in his younger days he was that gangsta type before he was the "teacher".

[kustomflex]

nah thats wrong, listen to the lyrics on criminal minded he still laughs at gangsters, knowledge was his perogitive. By all mean neccessary cememented it but he says on that album if ya didnt get the message ya never will. so where u stand?

[earlgee]

Outta all Kris songs that are classics this 1 is my favorite Banger He is the greatest eMCee real talk.

[rusty1859]

Hard ass shit!

[johndohio]

This is my top 3 BDP songs. Love this!

[vking84]

Bottom line from 1986 all the way to the present days now KRS rules...he has out lasted and outrhymed MCs in the 80's 90's and the 2000's and has not lost a beat....look at the longevity...even in this rhyme he is thinking long range!!!! people died so i can rhyme u think im gonna grab the mic and waste my nations time....even while making a song that tells people things like 'dont step up with that weak shit....he still takes the time to be socially and morally conscious...a true genius

[oleold]

I like the remix better they used the same beat that ak used for his first single produced by the large professor. It just fit krs lyrics better.

[flyty114th]

That's what I'm talkin bout..thanks a lot for the info I requested.

[flyty114th]

The beat was sick anyone know where this beat came from...can i get a little help from my hip hop extraordinaires...the beat is pretty much the only thing that really got me...without a doubt KRS was that nigga' back in the day

[KidHum]

its Smackwater Jack

[founkey18]

The beat come from "sister goose" the track can be found in gordon's war soundtrack...

PEACE

[MastaBlasta80]

i think he was aiming at nwa mainly eazy

[louisb87]

i have a real feeling he was aiming at ice cube wif this one

[5burowz]

And the proof would be????

[louisb87]

proof would be kris saying.."the type of lyrical terrorism i present, educates ppl at the same time pays my rent"......when ice cube in a lyric said "Self Destruction dont pay the fucken rent".....ontop of that "ya heard criminal minded n bit the whoooole shit" lol and all those other subliminal shots...

[5burowz]

What songs of Ice Cube's use any samples from Criminal Minded?

[louisb87]

who sed anything bout samples champ...ice cube threw a subliminal shot at kris when he organised Self Destruction and the stop the voilence movement....ice cube sed "self destruction dont pay the fucken rent"....kris says "my lyrics educate ppl at the same time pays my rent"....kris even sed himself back then he took offence..ice cube was a biter i think it was mc ren or one of em that sed that he copied krs' style...

[5burowz]

Their styles aren't at all similar. What song did Cube say that about KRS-1? Or was that quote from a magazine or something?

[Anfysmooth]

Ice Cube - Rollin' Wit the Lench Mob....

[precisescience]

aint about the stylez as much as the content. KRS is the first 'gangsta rappa'. He evolved from criminal minded to spirtual minded... Ice cube was a gangsta rappa, then a semi-conscious rappa, back to a gangsta rappa and now he's a joke - i mean comedian.

It don't pay to sell out

[sab1175]

Ya heard Criminal Minded..and bit the whole sh*t!

[fatblokee]

Why the fuck aren't BDP more famous or popular?

[dafunder]

Because they didn't sell out.

[gbtapin]

I remember watching BDP making this video back in the day when i lived on stratford ave in soundview. Memories of the good ol' days of hip hop.  live on.

[wpkzo]

KRS spits fire...no matter what area style you like...you gotta give it up!
