[Dmaccabees]

A HIP-HOP C L A S S I C

[11arsenalfc1]

What passes for hip hop now is $h1t by comparison, all these little wack rappers with their nursery rhymes... and don't be fooled by eminem, he's just a glorified rock artist.

[boahplayer]

this is his best song

[kikstylz]

This is the shit! Whats he up too nowadays anyway?

[craneraaudiovideo]

i remember when this first came out.. this was really hot ..

[bluto312]

back when hip hop was actually good. now how can you honestly say its evolved when artists dont write lyrics that tell a story like this? all i hear about is how people have money , cars, and "bitches". no substance. no flow. nas is right. hip hop is dead yall

[DWN4MYN2]

a-yo i checked your page - nice - had to sub up!

[Anarchy9999999999]

[Resist619]

Auburntiger8 needs to dig a lil deeper!!!!

knucklehed is correct but by Grover Washington JR!!!!

George Howard has wack 80's shit.

[dpat2004]

K-Solo was on his shit back in the day.I miss the art of storytellin. Which was betta this or tales from the crackside. Anyway Bring this type of hip hop back please. It really sucks now.

[auburntiger8]

This sing is ridiculously sick :). K-Solo could flow his a** off! For anyone that is interested, the song sampled is called "Knucklehead". It's by George Howard (RIP), one of the greatest jazz musicians of all times.

[Zmw192]

for bushi8  your the reason hip hop is diein

[nycbassist76]

I went to school in CI same school k-solo went to he also performed at my school on valentines day dance...he took pictures with all the students.....and my teacher was in his video

[nycbassist76]

washed up? i rather be underground and/or forgotten then be a part of hip hop now and what its become...at least he was a part of hip hop when it was still real and pure....what da fuck have you done with your life that's made a difference?

[KamenHanya]

this is a true story..CENTRAL ISLIP

I was there, suckaz.

[BrokenSG]

KamenHanya and nycbassist76.... Fuck Ya CI, people just dont know-- Solo SOOO underrated but check his myspace hes still on fire!!! PEACE!!! and I was there hahaha

[RetroKidd1210]

@KamenHanya I live in the town over my uncle knew k solo and epmd both have been to my house..

[craneraaudiovideo]

[7PietroNe1]

REAL!

[alphacatt]

This Real Hip Hop.....

[Sapsche]

Brand Nubian samled it as well for "Probable cause"

[felixicon]

classic.. great story telling

[felixicon]

thanks.. dope loop

[wesdawg313]

This is a classic! I was a teenager when this came out and remember it vividly. Its a shame these young cats dont know how good hip-hop once was and how bad it has declined. They actually think "white tee" and souija boy is real hip-hop. Pray for them! This song sounds better than the majority of so called hits played today and its nearly 20 years old.

[rikky383]

Classic video...must've been 91 or 92.. If not for youtube, shit like this would be forever lost..

[BrokenSG]

Check out his myspace page he aint goin out without a fight for real! His little bro just turned pro boxer--- Man Solo not getting his props is a travesty--- AND IM WHITE-- You hate white ppl suck my fuckin dick

[BrokenSG]

Ya keep giving thumbs down for my comment suckaz I grew up 2 blocks from Solo there was some racist comments made a few pages back-- I was there so I stand by what I said-- NY cops are corrupt but the white bashing is uncalled for for real...

[obreezyo]

i used 2 see him in long island and it's sad 2 say but when i saw him he was a crack head rockin clothes from like 89 n'shit, this was around 96 or 97. He was thuggin it though.

[5burowz]

word???

[onlyrealhiphop12]

can anyone tell me the sample that was used in this song? thanks

[kevhar12]

The sample is from Grover Washington Jr.. The original song is called "Knucklehead".Dope track.

[KarlNemetski]

K-Solo was a fucking dope rapper. He sounds like Paris in this rap. Shit dude... I ain't heard this since like '90

[curtis75black]

K had a promising Career.

[UncleRico13]

Is this where all the ignorant people post?

[ivanhurd]

Ya'll are retarded. Who says cracker any more?

[kingpersley]

Interesting. Would yall like to figure out a puzzle? Find out how these correlate: Nibiru-Annuki-elohim-nephilliu­m-caucasus mountains-the angels that slept with women-why we blacks are hated and were kept as slaves-and last, blacks were the first to create how many things? Can you put these together find figure out the key to my kingdom.

[mathieu918]

Judas was a black Jew

[milleziano]

i don't fall 4 that crackers

[terrytees]

You got these white ppl laughin at you man.

[terrytees]

The Bibles written by the Romans son. Romans are white & refer to all none whites as black.

[milleziano]

And if the cracker did write the bible, don't you find it a little strange that the same cracker would describe the plague of leprosy in Leviticus 13, which is having a pale skin and blond hair. explain that you dumbass ignorant cracka.

[terrytees]

Just for your info son, am black & not as you wanna call me a "cracka" second off if you believe that old ass Bible BS your more mental than you sound. I deal with the real world.

[Aplustradomus]

You got alot of knowledge bro,lets rap a bit..You cant argue with people on youtube,because every one knows what they "THINK" they know full fledge ya mean..But you make alot of sense..Enoguh to make me wanna check some thangs out..

[Aplustradomus]

PREACH!

[milleziano]

"KNUCKLEHEAD"

Written & Performed by Grover Washington, Jr.

Courtesy of Motown Records

Under license from Universal Music Enterprises

[kramercp]

I remember blowing my whole allowance on this CD in middle school. Great sample, hard ass beat, and a real story. One of the great story raps of the time.

[ICSKLE]

I think King T's producer used this sample sometime in 90-91.

[stract81]

Also used by Brand Nubian on a joint called propable cause similar vein as fugitive

[OlderHipHopGeneratio]

If my memory serves me correctly this beat (Knucklehead) was also briefly featured in that movie "Four Brothers" from 2005.

[bushi8]

it does serve you

[OlderHipHopGeneratio]

Yep! I was surprised to be diggin' through my pop's record collection and finding the album entitled "Feels so Good" by Grover Washington Jr. with this beat on it. Ed O.G. also freaked a piano portion of this song for "Life of a Kid in the Ghetto" back in 1991. Come again selecta and Reeeewind!

[onlyoneog]

K is also REDSMANS cusin.

[jayevens]

Now that's hip hop! A dope beat, excellent delivery, heart felt content, and a video that brings it all together.

That's hip hop in it's truest, highest, and most compelling form.

[areyes1008]

Damn!! i miss 88 to 96, real shit.. No such thing as fake or label making rappers..

[Bengijo242]

@areyes1008 YOU'RE DEFINITELY ON CUE WITH YOUR OBSERVATION.... AFTER 96 THE WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY WENT BELLY UP, INCLUDING RAP...!!!!!!!.

[BrodieAdeyHansen]

I agree to an extant, i wonder why, downloading wasnt big back then, and even if labels 'took over' it wouldnt happen all at once.

i blame those Idol shows, they teach you need to have a high pitched wanker thing going on to be good 

[BrokenSG]

I was born and raised in Central Islip 2 streets down from Solo-- He is truly hip hop-- course I live in TX now-- I guess Geto Boys and DJ Premier are the best from here

[thefineartsllc]

shout Suffolk county!

EPMD, K-SOLO, PUBLIC ENEMY, LL COOL J, and many other greats hail from "STRONG ISLAND"!

REKONIZE

[ticklebug]

I'm pissed because you can't buy this song anywhere on the internet! :(

[cookiemnster73]

Go to a record shop, not a best buy or Wal-mart. One where you can get the real ish still. Cat's can order it for you. Luckily i still have my original cd.

[auburntiger8]

Man this is the s**t right here! Forget all of the bs so called hip hop artists. Can't get any better than this!

[thehoodspecialist]

Shout out to Kevin Madison the real K-S-O-L-O

18 years later Spellbound still bangs.........

[ginashere]

This is my kind of hip hop. Realistic, not about selling drugs or "gangsta", but good guys talking about real shhh..

[CeeRay78]

Much luv fa showin dis 1990 Classic, plus this beat BANGZ, but if any of ya'll are real music headz, remember when King-Tee had the same beat @ the same time on a song Feat. Ice Cube call "Played Like A Piano"...I'm using dis track, but updating it a lil more...

[RICHNICE75]

any chance you might find Letter Man?

[5burowz]

Remember K-Solo's song, "Sneak Tip". That song was a perfect example of dude's talent.

[eutue]

One of my favorite songs. Thanks for the upload.

[rihernan54]

when did we decide to settle for this bubble gum,club ass 13 yr old white girl rap? it's a slap in the face to real hip hop. grow some balls and stop doing what the industries tell you sell outs!!! we need new york and cali to save this shit cause the south fucked it all up

[autocrossaholic]

fifty cent isn't helping a whole lot... it's not just regional influence it's a larger trend for fake industry radioplay shit.

that said, cali and nyc do rep pretty hard for what's right, with mos def to j5... but dead prez are fla... so there's that.

[rhymewis]

hiphop today is ruined by teenage girls and fellas that think there gangsters so anything sells now

[BROOKLYN1977]

Excellent point. Nothing against females but all these videos of half naked women is kinda played. It  was'nt like this back in the days

[FreeChris]

Yo dawg I agree with U 18 Y.O. I been listening to this stuff since I was Young Y can Music be played Equal???

[coldrockdaspot]

word and not only that, how is a shitty ringtone song considered to be good?, it's a novelty and stupid.

The problem with most of today's Hip Hop is that the respect has gone, there is hardly any fun element anymore and a lot of todays young are ignorant about Hip Hop's past, but like L.O.N.S.'s first album there is NO Future Without A Past.

[khalifkb]

thats is the shit i seen this video when i was 15 now iam 32 now this was the shit hiphop not like that no more what happen !!!!!!!!!!!

[upabittoolate]

ive never been to nassau county but i will say the locations in the video look a lot like lower wacker in chicago, those police cars also look like chicago cars from the mid '80s

[Brugality]

Thanks for the support bro. This vid is supposed to take place in Suffolk county, not Nassau, and no those aren't Suffolk county police cars.

[upabittoolate]

yeah i saw that. i lived in bay ridge and flatbush as a child and chicago as a young adult but ive never been to the '6th' boroughs and i guess all cities are the same. i still say though that art it one its way back. eventually people start asking questions that these bullshit recording artists cant answer. we'll get there by & by

[Brugality]

classic!

[upabittoolate]

yeah, when hip hop was still hip hop. not young/li'l blah,blah-eezy. you actually needed to have flow and production not just an eardrum tickling hook. dont worry, when pop culture gets tired of it, it will return to being art I PROMISE

[aaboy72]

Jena 6, 20+ years ago.

[samysany]

THANX! it reminds me of the Yo MTV raps period...so nice!

[caribbaby]

Love this! So many memories.

[mylovemywife]

[lekenda]

fuck this is the bomb! best rapper ever

[kdg88]

his 2nd joint is classick

[5burowz]

This was the jam.

[kinjite3g]

The best legendary video and song from k-solo i like it homes the remix version of this track is much better cause it gives the adrenaline rush feel from the song btw, he once been on the show called pump it up in the end of the show he was boxing with dee barnes in the ring and k-solo knocked her silly and she started crying out of ring like a stupid schoolgirl and then k-solo tells her your mom's in my business no joke homes but anyway thank you for showing the video of k-solo peace.

[danefife]

Waste Management Records home of k-solo and canibus

[auburntiger8]

This song is super sick! The story is all to real for a lot of people.

[cboneofenglewood]

Ay dude, do you have "Yo mom's in my bizness", or "The letterman?"

[TamerAbi]

hi,

sorry I don´t have them!

[cboneofenglewood]

Well, thanks for this one. Appreciate you!

[mrtruecrime34]

[dertol67]

You thought very good

[slimboi61]

if any body can post spell bound your mom needs to mind her business it will be good looking out this is a classic real hip hop.

[OGGFK]

The Song that is sampled is "Knucklehead" by Grover Washington Jr. This is the hardest jam off that album.

[auburntiger8]

Thanks :).  This song was on the "Four Brothers" soundtrack. I copped it as soon as I saw your posting :)

[pnyk33]

stay true man

[UncleRico13]

This is a true story. I was with Corky that night. It was crazy.

[SPE2007]

Sure u was....

[herculeshernandez]

well little did you know, you was in for a fight.

[UncleRico13]

LOL...this jam was way before it's time in '85. This is back when Rap use to tell good stories that weren't rim or ice related.

[herculeshernandez]

this came out in '90/'91... I think he was talkin about stuff that happened to him in '85.

[auburntiger8]

OMG! This is the hardest cut! I love this song! KSOLO's flow is so tight! Does anyone know the song that is being sampled?

[POCOHONTAS1875]

this use 2 be my favorite jam

[WRZ6969]

Do you know what is this sampel ?

Thx for this video, peace!

[megadirt]
