Pete Rock - Center Of Attention (Instrumental)

[lilkiddballer]

Pete Rock and Nujabes....Boss!

[MovieMusicLova818]

Its all about the soul and the vibe

The music that I'm kicking it comes from inside

Living life in the moment I make the right decisions

With precision I can see these visions of true bliss

Without drama or commotion

Synchronized to perfection like the ocean

Theres plenty of things that make life a pleasure

Every day I live fills my body with pleasure

[sotocapo]

one of the chillest beats ever!

[TheLo31]

1love

[TheLo31]

my days have been blistered

from the ruff edges of life

so much going on, and so on

i grow on dimensions of a better tomorrow

I think of no sorrow

cus im living on borrowed time

im taking a few moments to reflect on mines

and you dont stop.....keep on  thnx pete

[AakwardAardvark]

click click click the dreams just another click away

i must be chasing my tail because i saw it just the other day

i gotta force myself to stop ,

cuz i know it makes you crazy up top

and these days i cant tell dreams from reality

its like im watching this movie in 3d around me

[bradcypress]

Beautiful beat, so smooth yet so ruff :)

[bradcypress]

Beautiful beat, so smooth yet so ruff :)

[BlueMagicHoodini]

This is a masterpiece

[TONE891]

expansion, transaction, sit back and imagin, lovin and laughin, heavy in my chevy, freeway smashin, long lastin, passion, always askin, never bragin, pants not saggin, constantly swaggin, rarely laggin, i make it happen, fine pussy stabbin, thats what im havin, not complicated nor overrated, underated underestimated, to new levels ive meditated leavin intrumentals devisated, mc's are stuck, verbally constipated, the words i have stated are off top please believe i never hesitate it..

[AugustFlightGordon]

This wasn"t Pete, it was DJ Scratch who produced it

[musiqgem]

@AugustFlightGordon Just because Scratch was in the house? Well guess what, I was in the house that morning too when Pete put the track together, so stop spreading BS dude! In the 90's Pete used to have his colleges around when he made beats & during the recording process cause it was all love. But that shit came to a hault once niggas started stealing samples & techniques from him & puttin' shit out on wax B4 he had the chance to (starting with Q-Tip!).

[AugustFlightGordon]

@musiqgem I swear the credits on the liner notes said produced by DJ Scratch. But if you were in the studio at the time then I guess my memory mistakes me

[DjFranchize603]

@AugustFlightGordon this is %100 pete rock beat, dj scratch does not have nearly the same sound as tha chocolate boi wonda

[airic554]

You got a better wish then death son? just the center of attention.... lol ;)

[PRandBXkid16]

i be that center of attention i suppose /snakes who pose for fucks sake hit em with the snub nose/ ingrates who cant appreciate/ smoke weight to alleviate each strain realigns the brain /hittin sidewalks police talk and form thoughts Make a brake soon the jake try to rush the gate/ they say practice what you preach what they preach is pure hate/ spreads like the plauge till we all dead/ what once was will soon cease to be/ live on trough experience and memory eternally

[itsjosetapia]

Damnnn..very smooth beat!

[Polishroyalgoat]

this works;beat and image:) Cool!

[shenanitracks]

this beat like puts me in a trance,

check out my channel for beats, fans of pete rock would enjoy them

[chrisforarsenal10]

[TEKDIF]

[tiemyhands18]

PETE KINDA LOOIN LKE TECH N9NE

[bbbbbbbbbbig]

[Markd4Death1]

Pete Rock is the God of beats..

[gogodancer253]

Man, this beat is perfect.

[gieyserr]

im da humble word-jumbled but not stumbled/ my verbal skilled verses will worsen a versus like kung fu/ ur not nearly as talented/ u lack da valor of dis rappin stylist my bars r heavily parented/ 2 b steadily patented/ yet ur da 1 who needs 2 shine like da sun do/ u wanna b orbitted by all da kids like da planet is/ u dont even put plannin in/ ur jus diggin a hole dat u dont even noe ur standin in/ but still u have 2 b where da fans could c but u lack da character of dis mandarin like cantonese

[iPromoteDopeMusic]

@gieyserr I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way

[SD2Humboldt]

same drums as SLUM VILLAGE_ FALL IN LOVE .. dam near identical except the extra kick.... luv it .

[onaqtip]

paid d price, twice/ never learnt ya lesson/ never really paid attention/ now ya rearly get a mention/ knowin now what u should o known then/ gut wrenchin/ now u wonder why we aint friends/ just tension/ ya hung all ya homies out to dry/ like henchmen.

[dvkillz1]

the hats in this are perfectly crispy

[aviwaviw]

j dilla's comment to pete rock on his adolescent years diggin in the crates alone in the basement "i was trying to be you". PR beats never get old, only more classic..

[IsOneFunny]

questing for... peace. the word tears many to pieces many try but many fail and turn to man made releases these words are true well to me atleast maybe not to you so they're regarded as a thesis each lie we're fed just greases ladders poles we may clamber up in some dingy nightclub, striving always to get above experience real love, say no to drugs But... we all can have the wishes whilst we're lookin sullen just wanting to run, but stay in our place with those looks on our face and wash dishes

[DarkGeminiErick]

wow this the music to release my mind from the bull going on in this world:) but this track lets me know there's alway's going to be a better day.....tomorrow....

[ghostface411]

pete always has hard drums so good

[codejohnson]

@Lorcin U ' re 100% right. I am sick of these wack ass beat sycophants. Keep your wack ass rhymes to yourselves.

[ThexRaYdEFinTions]

@codejohnson it's very simple dnt read em homie

[MrAWF]

Nice =)

[Y0UTUBEFREAKK]

hahahah dont tell him thats kanye!!!

[nafeNafen]

same drum line as the intro to The Rep Grows Bigger by Gangstarr.

[nmaccc23]

Yo yo yo yo yo, This beat is sickness, Hold up and let me rip this, Its strictly business, When I leave i know you'll miss this, Simple physics, Mass to energy as we livin', My raps strike with precision, I separate the bars using long division, Separate rhymes using nuclear fission, Yes I'm on a mission, Earth is a strange position.., For the galactic, I acted.., On films of rap's illest, Rap's villains, No ceilins, Slice apart competition like apple peelins, How are you feelin? comment my raps

[BerryBearParis]

Say derekcashflow thanks 4 the hit back, nice to know that a voice expressed is a voice heard; on the real tip!

BBP

[derekcashflow]

EVERYONE dont stop posting your our lyrics, flex your freedom and fuck anyone who tells u different

Lorcin, im let you do ur job and hate so keep on doing what you doing too

peace

[BerryBearParis]

@derekcashflow Yeah I say the same thing to the folks that post what they feel and to the folks that respond with a negative point of view. What in the hell can you do? Regardless of what a person wishes to express iy only takes a coward fool to say dumb stuff about any subject matter shown to the public. If a person's name address and phone number had to be posted with each jerk ass comment I bet ya wouldn't have this kind of behavior!

[derekcashflow]

@BerryBearParis Agreed

[Lorcin]

KEEP YOUR LITTLE BARS OFF EVERY SINGLE INSTRUMENTAL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. IM SICK OF SEEING THE SAME SIMPLE NURSERY RHYMES BY WHACK, NAMELESS MCs THAT DONT KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT SPITTING.

[TCM666]

@Lorcin

Go fuck your Mother.

[fiskolin]

where i can download the instrumental in mp3 file?

[dillydrake]

search google for a youtube to mp3 converter and paste the link

[skateordieeeeee]

ill verse DefPoet

[DefPoet100]

His mentality never thought of seven figure salaries

Worked for peace reality yet proved to be challenging

One soul in a sea full of hate and greed

Never wants always needs, all the blood he would bleed

Just a price he would pay, to water every seed

To feed all the unfortunate, fuck the coordinates

Don't matter where ya live, even helped the insubordinate

Took orders yet never followed

Didn't know before he looked behind his back he was the leader of tomorrow

[BlackPoisonxX]

very jazzy

[runforkover420]

it's too real rewind and reveal we ride and we verbally kill/ this is the new edition the new religion of ripping, my vision is too increase my living position my living ambition is solid as steel / with limited amunation i'm aiming to kill/

[guesswhodre]

I like that JayGriffinblaze shit was nice

[JayGriffinblaze]

Thanks guesswhodre, was just trying to point out a few tips to some of the younger rhymers in here! Been rapping for almost 2 decades now so it's still nice to hear compliments! :) Might drop some more bars now! lol

[guesswhodre]

for sure man i respect that, im tryin to pick up tips as well, just wanna rhyme as a hobby nothing special, something that is nice and can express yourself when no one wants to listen. Old school beats are the best man just so chill relaxed

[01thrilla]

Armered with raps/ calm and relexaed/ Steady and ready for whatever comes/ some call me the devils sons../ the way i burnin up like ya atmosphere/ take you back a year/ when i had the time knowledge/

[NINJASE7EN]

true enough. said 'metaphors' but mainly was focused on rhyme scheme. nice criticism man. thanks.

[JayGriffinblaze]

I'm a drop the basics/let's face it/ I mean lyrically embrace this/you're talking about timing and it's really off-bases/No basis/that's why I've come to graphically deface this/replace this little cypher with my exponential greatness/don't make this some hate shit/gun talk and rape fixed representations of fakeness/like the matrix/Relate with relevance of your own headspace kid/keep your syllables tight so your rhyme's pronunciated/(Stay educated!)

[nafeNafen]

SHITTTT TIGHT

[JayGriffinblaze]

thanks Nafe! Was just trying to prove a point, even though it's freetexting it still has to be tight and in time! :)

[BigSkeef]

Your rap's r all pussy, their wet and sloppy/ Hit up ya' girlfriend, have her call me Papi/ Sorry if the rhymes are too choppy/ I'ma get rough on the track like I'm playin' hockey/ Make the audience stay up like coffee/ Motherfucker, get off me, or I'll probably/ Reach in the trunk, pull out the shotty/ Mafia mentality like Gotti/ This rap shit, to me is like a simple hobby/ Easy as shit, just without less talking/ ..........Wait, I can't even rap, WTF was I doin'.

[NINJASE7EN]

its all in how you read it. if you heard it, you may like it. or not. everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[Stickyglasgowbud]

what a global appeal/ a massive appeal/ to yooooooooooouuuuu/ your rights are due/ bitches dont have a clue/ jumping off the ground/ like a pimp ass grey hound gettin his freak on/ multiply to seek ...to destroy/ the convoy/ make me feel like troy/ gotta win the war/ forever moooar/ disapear out da doooar.

[Manyfaces7]

i am in love with this instrumental

[NINJASE7EN]

its the rhymer intense, not hoppin your fence, its the metaphors, strong through the doors, and then, you bet, AGAIN, the party is vibin, and you're realizin, we're all about timin, hip hop will never die when, this cat on the mic can, do battle with titans, warrior light skinned, barriers tightened, against the demons im fightin, like the bookie and French, you will NEED to have a license, to run your own mic, friend!

[boomboomthriller]

:D  .

[JayGriffinblaze]

Ninja@ No hate dude but you didn't actually drop one metaphor in that lil' 8bar you dropped there...

[MrRunforkover420]

breakin down the science, super superior lyrical alliance defiant, im the underground poetic giant chasin the scene for green until i find it rewind it these phonics will leave ya blinded reminded of how you resighted the life of the lifeless when you didnt even write it........ an im out

[Silva11Colombia]

my words are vivid, but not to specific its hard 2 understand like Bible scriptures pass my brain wave currents to yo ears by the time yo get the picture i will disappear my surroundings are blight like a lightning i strike the beat to relaxed, i will relapse a few steps back plus your aura is thin reading couple words to find you within but listen,...i got another mission smoking in the park while my hand was writing poems quicker than the dealers hand as if playing Texas Hold em

[KingPhaRoh]

yo real shit. that was fire.

[nvrfearhecshere]

yo i kick the real spit. i love it when the kush hits. not rich so i cant stay fit. girls dont like that shit. but i keep pushin on. fuckin nothing but hos as i pass along. on my own path tryin to stay strong. my song. aint for the flashy heads. or the ones that use this music just to get bread. instead. id rather just chill. hit a 40 and a bowl and just keep it real. they reeling me in. trying to bring out my sins. but no matter, ill keep my cool till my end.

[EPADEMC]

This is UNIVERSAL

[kbosati]

[41fevaoaklandyada]

[stixizhere]

center of attention like da first thing on ya mind

Hoggin da spotlight jus like it wuz mine

but there comes a time

when u gotta step aside and let shit ride

Wit all dat attension bringa a special set of problems

not everybody has the common scence 2 solve dem

i kno u heard a bout them they always in da news

like ones wit assault rifles or the ones called suicidal

being da center of attention is leathal

Rest in Peace Michael

[dmanschaumbizzie]

i wish we could hear more of this on the radio. i honestly believe we would see a change in our younger culture if we did play this type of music instead of that auto-tune club hop bull shit they play 24/7, music is now just a bunch of industry bitches that don't care about anything but squeezing as much money as they can out of the vast amount of retarded youth out there that don't know what true music really is. word.

[bitchesandrap]

alles past me voorbij ey yow ey ben als een killabee steek als een bij zoals ik het zei schuif dit maar aan de zij kom toch voorbij blijf langer in het zicht als een verrekijker draai u om ge lijkt kleiner een ander perspectief zo wijder ik ben de childbevrijder geen spacecake maar laat u space zet de regels tusse spaties laat u kijke geen making of dit is echt gemaakt geen straatshit gwn dikker als u zaad dan vloeit het pas op de straat

[telemanque]

follow me cuz

this summer prolly hotter than apollo was

dont hate get papes

play ball my niggas globe trotta buzz

creepin to the the top

out of a lotta mud....

[bA6yCh0ppA]

damn this is hot ima use this for my song nice smooth got me noddin my head to this

[father1014]

pahdner, this is definately one of my favorite pete tracks, and you blessed it with your vision, i felt like i was on a peaceful sunday morning drive dow the west side highway in nyc, just vibin. well done brother

[kbosati]

id like the klib its very grayt and simpol spashly 02.03 did you madid ?

[jmart755000]

Just laid back...PR living legend

[PstKojeck]

@jmart755000 without a doubt!

[kandypaintedbricklin]

this is way to dope, what sample is this hes using?

[theycallmeletts]

This is probably one of Pete Rocks more "real" beats. It actually sounds like a real BAND played this! Like as if this WAS the original!

Such an ill beat!

[GeoOneloveHipHop]

Yeah great beat, n love the lyrics written under the video too, no shite just puuure hiphop ONELOVE! x

[baysick54]

the lights flash faster than hands that move cash,

and young heads want to be like mike? i laugh,

because the glitz and glamour in this book is fable,

stories told by those who wished but werent able,

capable to grab hold of those that mean right,

snubbing out the light that used to shine bright,

so i let live and let go to my disdain,

because hip hop is one hell of a game

[AlDroShOw1]

and do this we must

strong will & big nuts

go for gust bust thru the crust expose the crux

avoid the spotlights, i run wit fam

lite a marijuan gram and *STUDY*- life's an exam

that never fails to test, i never fail

when the bullets hail from out the chaos i prevail

[WisePhenomenal]

THE BOMB!!

THANKS, PEACE!

[anarkie]

I Had Dreams That I Would Rock Mics Under Spotlights/

Way Before I Could Talk,Write Or Even Walk Right/

Used To Grip My Rattle Like A Mic,Battle Every Night Wiff My Imaginery Friend/

It Was Imaginary Then/

But Fast Forward To Now & I've Done Battled Many Men/

From Sun Up All The Way Passed 10p.m./

I Spit That Foriegn Form Of Fluid/

Just Another Form Of Music To Prove That I Was Born To Do This/

....Pete Rock Man,Legend

[kingwill86]
