I'm just rediscovering this. I used to hear a lot in Los Angeles on KPWR Power 106 back in late 2001/early 2002 the good old days. Back when Power 106 was actually spinning hip hop. POWER 106 BLAZIN' THE MOST HIP HOP & R&B was the slogan back in 2001-02 and I loved it. Power 106 playing R&B too at the time
@WildotheD1ldo I can't believe there was ever a debate when Killla Priest had this sample in 1998 for One step. Shows how much they thought they knew.
I don't listen to these guys much. but all of there songs sound super familiar for some reason. maybe some tony hawk games or something. idk, super sick, that UGHH style with the tables and samples is the best.

@jibberninja what are u talkin bout bro ? these questions and silly comments are from people who simply want some thumps up ! they have nothing to do with marketing
@jibberninja good for you, your comment is more attention seeking and annoying then any of the comments you've mentioned (except the listening in 2011 one).
This song is INCREDIBLE. Love the little Guru feature aswell haha! Seriously, more people need to understand the superbness of this instrumental! And, obviously Dilated Peoples.
yo people get at me im thowing a kick back and i gunna play sum real old sckool hip hop feel me shit like classical, legendary shit, and at the moment i cant think of anything so give me sum feed back. much love desert empire 760 killa cali
@launen123 It's from Bishop's street album "The Confessional" released in 2008. Entire album is the shit, production by Focus, Scott Storch, Danja, Dj Khalil...
It brings back very good memories in my hometown while me and my old friends were planning our graff crew, almost 7 years later we still keeping it real buddies!!!
i remember buying this c.d still got it somewhere =) only c.d's i ever had and are truly sik are dre 2001 the chronic, the streets (his 1st album of course) afroman (his 1st album palmdale, tall cans etc) errmm yea had a ja rule one but only used to listen to livin it up haha yea this choon sikk
@illmindful Yo whats wrong with Cole or Drake. I mean they might not be as "hip-hop" per say, but they definatly still hip-hop, just different. You should have said guys like Wayne, Nicki, Gucci, Waka, etc.
@nihkkka Well.They are both pretty sorry to me.There better than the others because they maintained there soul and natural feel for music but got tired of living in the shadows and wanted some attention.Thats pretty much what happend with kanye west to.So yeah there "Alright"but the way i see it its just the leser of two evils to me
@illmindful Respect bro, but I'll have to agree to disagree. I understand Yae but he's a beast regardless. Cole is solid new age hip hop. Actual hip hop not some dude that rap thinking he hip hop. Same thing with Drake, but his label is whack (young money). Just because it doesn't sound old doesn't mean it's not hip hop. What about Jay elec? Even Em hip hop. Mos Def my favorite artist so regardless everything else you probably respect that lol.
@nihkkka Hahahaha yeah.I have to agree on that.Mos def is a beast.But on the whole drake and j-cole thing yeah they coo but im just sayin if they hadnt have kinda sol out;they would have been alot doper than they are now.But yeah cause when i heard one of j-coles instrumentals i was like this guy aint to bad.And i know all about the whole old vs new.Dont get me wrong i listen to people like qwel,binary star,cyne,and all that kind of stuff to.To be real i listen to mostly new underground
46 sec of it.... I was there when they made it. It was probably 3 days before 9.11. It could be the last video which was made next to WTC. Now the title of this track has double sense 4 me
this beat has used over n over again, on so many different songs, but it still hits hard every time i hear it
