[Niallps3owns]

[flaboy89]

[hiephoi058]

rae > nas big time

[ShallahJupiter7XL]

this is hip hop right here, the essence. all the UNDERGROUND shit that has come out in the last ten years is terrible compared to this shit-they not only could spit and were the real deal-they also made ill songs- its ok hearing Canibus talking about swapping electricity with acorns or atmosphere talking about 'on the way home, thinking about lucy' i'm not hating on it, just not feeling it-its not in the same realm as the realness.

[Maxipadtriplesix]

Anyone else notice Dr. Dre's tag in the background?

[bucknasty718]

Prodigy killed it...Goddamn!

[djcharliehoodfresh]

best hip hop era ever.... so raw

[wickedwu22]

Havin these 4 on at the same time would be catastrophic! That's History right there...

[negrogu]

Wu-Wear on

[the1UAB]

Cmon SON!!

[dablakryu]

I remember watchin this back in 95 miss those dayz

[deez723]

@deez723 Fuck them? Fuck u!

[deez723]

@10fanboy na slut. fuck them. don't interject. you don't want none of this, aight. Now scram.

[tragsicc21]

@deez723 kick pebbles lil nigga & dnt come back LOL

[realhiphopman1]

is there a full version

[iaintmadatcha]

P's Voice in the olden days was just filled with hunger boi gotta love that old mobb shit !

[incy82]

they used to be the realest ones...nas representin wu:))

[Vamafia804]

@duckdown1993 Them niggaz wont worried about being famous

[WVUTEAM]

I miss the 90's grad hs in 92 and it was alot of fun, Miss Yo MTV Raps too........

[doughboyy617]

i like the 90's swag i think we kinda replicating it with bringing back snapbacks, air max's etc.

[duckdown1993]

These dudes made some great music but they're fucking clowns. You worked all your life to get to a point where you'd be featured on Yo! MTV Raps and what do you do?  You let two certified lyrical heavyweights Nas and Raekwon come in and Hov your airtime on some Memphis Bleek shit. Prodigy aint say one damn word that whole interview. Only thing Hav said was some mumbled shit about "being real." Thats why these dudes never got big. They had the talent, but they straight pussies b...

[BuckedEmDown]

@duckdown1993 i doubt youd say that bullshit to any one of them. so whos the real pussy?

[ITsmusicpage]

I am 16 and even I have The Infamous.

[013Siro]

Dope to see Nas in a Wu sweather!

[HexOne1]

i cant believe this used to air on mtv... now we got snooky

[loumaTROM]

The beginning of rae's verse is from incarcerated scarface and the fact that havoc and P rhyme together make it seem like it's no freestyle but it's bangin' anyway so it's all good

[WuTangBoston]

this gave me an erection...god i love hip-hop LOL

[Tonyillicit]

one of my favorite moments on TV period!!!!!!! Man I remember this! At the time I didn't know any of these lyrics but they were all used later. NAS and Mobb Deep made some great music together! Good Post!

[swellclimber]

Its now about to be 2012.......heres how these dudes turned out........

Prodigy-proven himself as having undying talent, turned out the illest

Reakwon-he did release cuban linx, after that he slowly fell off and never switched up his style, just re released old shit, never grew as an artist

Nas-If you can look past the fact that he is essentially a fake thug who raps about fabricated crime tales and negatively influences the youth I suppose he's OK, I still consider him a phony

Havoc-plop

[jropz]

@swellclimber typical jay-z stan?..why does nas continue to get unfair scrutiny from cats like you?. he's held to a ridiculous standard sadly, but when your favorite mc raps about "fabricated: shit its ok?. he's an all timer man. and how exactly does nas have a negative effect?

[95steeptech]

@swellclimber Are you kidding with this? These are my top 3 favorite rappers (spare havoc) and even I know Prodigy fell off the most out of them lyricially.. raekwon does have the same style of songs as on CL but his flow and voice have evolved alot over his career. And nas is the greatest MC of all time, he doesnt claim to be a thug hes a street poet and rhymes touching all different aspects of hood life, both positive and negative

[PresidentChiefer]

There is so much excellence in that room.

[nem700]

prodigy had such an ill style. you could listen to him rap like that forever.

[ConsciousThoughts562]

Wow they had to be atleast 19 or 20 its sad now a days look at these guys right here versus all the new cats comin out today hip hops gone soft these were the good times

[PragmaticProminence]

@leafie haha they spittin to monica's just one of those days haha sh!t was ill

[Lyftmal]

WU TANG FOR EVA

[MrMario2987]

They all look like teenagers, I miss the 90's good times

[Sileni]

The best has to be ODB

[leafie]

whats the beat in the backround



[VoiceMailify]

the best frestyle P and Rakwon forever !!! wu-wear @#$%ers

[camius1]

wu weeeeear

[VirtuaFighter5R]

nas #1 MC!!!!

[jazm809]

@VirtuaFighter5R Prodigy #FACT: Most sampled voice in hiphop #Apex MC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elryck94]

it was heir 2nd album and their bes album without a doubt

[Azures7]

@elryck94 Hell On Earth is ill too. Listen to Still Shinin

[johelandakeem]

nas is the best rappa



[massshysteria]

lol nas shoulda really freestyled instead of spittin on the reals verse

[blitzvomitew16]

LOL they all look skinny as hell



[onice33]

Even Mobb Deep and Nas got the Wu-Wear on!!! GANGSTA!!!!!!!!!!!

[graffitiproof]

tried to blow me your weak side you showed me...

[Bangura187]

THAT IS SOME OG SHIT NAHMEAN!!

[lightmajor1]

I ALMOST don't even like watchin shit like this cuz it's just a reminder what we have lost in hip hop...i always say hip hop was at it's best when Big and Pac was alive. Even though this vid isn't about them, it's like when they were in the game EVERYBODY was on top of they shit..if u notice, Nas kinda declined lyrically when Big and Pac died.. just like he said on "I am" "now competition is none..now that your're gone"

[Funkdogg]

back in the days i hated on mobb deep and nas because of 2pac. later i found out that the album is a classic and a must have for every hip-hop head.

r.i.p. 2pac & biggie

[tirrellg]

who ever made the comment that nas and ray freestyled but prodigy didnt, you are a idiot and dont know there music because all those versus was on albums

[REALKILLADEALRECORDS]

4 great artists from ny

[elcesarin77]

Sickest shit I think p is a genius but lame that chef and nas straight up freestyled everything and mobb deep sang a verse from one of their songs

[epicstorms611]

@elcesarin77 nas only freestyled the last line or two

[cormegaful]

@elcesarin77 You must not fully understand what a freestyle is. There's more then one meaning to it. They all freestyled.

[smith3362]

yo ! stop playing Prodigy lived it !!!

[iralevifan]

why does this give me goosebumps? why??? I probably watched this episode when it first aired and didnt appreciate it....

[busymike]

Raekwon looks skinny lol

[Atypical82]

how high is prodigy



[stillrising100]

 Raw shit

[candiegurlharris]

awww i love Nas' old chip tooth teeth lol

[yoedgar17]

@candiegurlharris me too



[blackplaque617]

It's so sad, these niggas were gritty, rhymes were sharp, fly hood gear. Underground shit!!! U would never see no shit like this now. These new mainstream cats would be on here with tight jeans, huging and kissing each other, throwing monopoly money around, trying to rap about maybachs, money, and bitches.

[blitzvomitew16]

@blackplaque617

"throwing monopoly money around"

ikr..fuckin clown ass dudes.

[Nando6413]

@blackplaque617 I completely agree with you. I'm 30 years old and sometimes I look at old footage like this and I get excited like it's still fresh, remembering all of the hype surrounded by real, genuine talent. It also makes me wanna cry because of how it was and how it is now. Although I've moved on, every now and again, I yearn for the old days. Damn...

[WuTubeish]

This is history right here!

[TheHumanBallsack]

Funny how Rae went from this...........to JB.

[MChiocca01]

Pee is doing Hav's 2nd verse from 'Take it in Blood'. Not sure why he is, but that shit is butta!

[ahmedgunner15]

i just came from a 2011 video with Nas and rea OMG! still doin it.

[arkbishopbonkerboy]

this is tru rap, hip hop or whatever the fuck you wan call it, not that mainstream, radio "you a jerk" bs we hear nowadays

[blazerfan4555]

back when rappers actually looked like rappers

[Jackstar769]

@blazerfan4555 word!

[rustyshite]

@blazerfan4555 haha yep

[01342663563]

Pretty much all the guys here were on the song "Eye for an Eye" on "The Infamous" album, CLASSIC SHIT.

"As time goes by, an eye for an eye. We're in this together son, your beef is mine"

I SO wish I was older when this came out.

[KwentEss]

[YouTooTrouble]

[robmac85]

Yo, MTV is scarred to make money cause if they were smart the should release all episodes of Yo MTV Raps on DVD. Those units would fly off the shelves..

[REALKILLADEALRECORDS]

[cream8701]

[AdamBaum54321]

Raekwon is straight Gangsta

[Lifendz]

"the butta flavors" When old man try to sound young.

[philosophic9]

@Lifendz lol!  I might bring back the word butta tho.

[RashidSupremeA7]

It's funny Prodigy spit a havoc verse

[urbanREPROGRAM]

@RashidSupremeA7 Unrelated but I had a tape in the 90s Havoc spittin P's verse from "Still Shinin" then blended into his own verse from "GOD PT III" over the Benjamins beat. Shit was WICKED.

[poltersol]

@RashidSupremeA7 what song is that hav verse from?

[urbanREPROGRAM]

They need to give keijimuto a crown for upping this. Good look thunny!

[BuckT0WNUSA]

Yeah, Yeah..This is Vault material. THAT ERA will never be duplicated. 30 years from now we will check that ERA for raw sounds. Can't say the same for this BS that's polluting the air-waves now.

[exodus717]

damn!! they look like KIDS but still with that raw talent!! can't wait to see them at rock the bells this summer.

[razprblade71mob]

Yo Word Up son, Shaolin to Killa Queensbridge iz n full effect kid, No Question

[MARIACLASS]

i bet u know 1 knows da answer to dis,why did they stop da best show on earth yo mtv raps?

[Hydro2oo9]

@MARIACLASS What would they put on it these days though? MTV doesn't have time for real rap anymore. The only way it would work is if they had underground artists on it, but they don't have time for that. You couldn't have yo mtv raps with pop singers like wayne, drake and 50. think about it.

[MARIACLASS]

Thank you for posting! I've been looking for this freestyle for years!

[12Oc7ock]

god damn nas was sick back then

[therealtoreal]

This was when hip hop was HIP HOP. I loved this show The saturday version with Fab 5 freddy was better than saturday morning cartoons lol I was watching videos and eating cereal.

[KOGEEMORECORDINGS]

[mustbelyrical]

THEY WERE SO YOUNG THEN THIS WHEN NYC PUT CLASS AND SUBSTANCE INTO HIP HOP WITH OUR OWN ORIGINAL HIP HOP SYYLE dont know why so many up and comming rappers from ny trying to do other regions styles down to changing their nyc accent thats horrible
