Camp Lo - Black Connection

[christovision]

Ski is a legend. By the way for those looking, I made an instrumental

for this. seeing as how there was never one released.

Tried to keep it as close as possible. Free DL of course. cheers. /watch?v=XWlP4wyJJkw

[posta09]

4 dislikes? whaaat the fuuuuuck

[stepdaddy81]

camp lo is so underrated this takes me back to tenth grade these niggas' metaphors were before their time

[lipperman93]

theres got to be an instrumental for this

[ancrumq12]

Perfect Instrumental such a Magical flow

[ibreakkidslegs]

I've heard this beat somewhere before... what song?

[arbnguyfoeva]

@ibreakkidslegs i heard it from some korean hiphop (Drunken tiger)

[Tikenjay78]

@ibreakkidslegs The Stylistics - Love Is The Answer.

[nappyp33z]

the song is is dope but the bass is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO LOW!!!

[dopeschitz]

@nappyp33z It's meant to make you FEEL it. Don't talk about how the beat SHOULD sound, if it was any louder, you wouldn't be able to hear the song.

[LucidRuka]

This song is great... though I was deeply dissapointed when I noticed that Drunken Tiger took their melody for I Want U from here :(

[nate1367]

poetry.

[straytpaper]

i love this song!!! heard it for the 1st time 2day on a cassette tape and now i'm up here listening 2 it now... all i can say is WOW!!!!!

[KingVirmire]

so talented yet so underated. just like Mos Def. Camp Lo is the shit. They never got their recognition they deserved. Todays music is shit compared to the 90s

[tont760]

dude, these lyrics is something up--these guys truly were way ahead of their time, if it's even come yet that is...

[sabiftw]

sounds like Black Erection. !! calling up the diamond delegates yeh Black Erection

[larsreal9]

Apparently cock is on your mind. It sounds like connection

[miro11912]

could you upload "mint condition"?

[IMONEY16]

"In France I dance by the moon sailing from Cancun": Favorite verse =)

[sushlet]

I hate helicopters.

[kyeraa2007]

good ol SP 12 Sound..i fux with that shit right here

[prohusting2]

incredible bass with huge "volume"!!!

[chowmanfu]

Where'd they cop the tune from? I highly doubt its original. Very nice.

[ocdiggs]

Theme song to the Love Boat if I remember it right.

[shenallh]

Love is the Answer by the stylistics. i think it came out in 74 gotta check my aunt's crates

[chowmanfu]

Stylistics huh? They're a good base I guess. "People Make the World Go Round" is bomb for some raps. This bay area dude (besides West Siiiiide Ice Cube) used it. Its been so long since I've been into hip hop that I fogot his name. Yeah, Stylistics are highly underrated. When they're on PBS they just sing their normal stuff. "Youuuuuuu're a genie in disguiiiiiise". Prince even remade that one. Prince's rehashes are all tight too.

[Superswami]

Y'all should check out, Drunken Tiger-I Want You Naughty. They are korean rappers who use this beat and kill it.

[wizdomborn1]

Callin up the diamond deligates-Black Connection!

[4theloveofmoney]

damn i want that beat

[soulmusic4141]

god that beat is fire!!!!!!

[HoughMorris]

today in berlin

[miggy25]

this track and this album is classic....Camp Lo was so slept on--some of the best lyricists there was

[diaross1]

Ski their main producer is one of da most slept on beatmakers ever. Just ask Jay Z bout dem jewelz Ski laced em wit on Reasonable Doubt

[XvXBigJohnLXvX]

best fuckin song for a skate video. this song was in a rollerblade vid. blackmarket in montre livingston's part.

[nelcet2014]

Song puts me in a zone

[Liegemgm]

i agree they were ahead of their time

[estproductions666]

FIRE!!!!!!! This track takes me whereever I want to go in the universe. Fuck Swag...Camp Lo is the definition of freshness! These cats were ahead of they time but greatly appreciated. So original you cant even put a title on their style.

[Youtub21212121212121]

how can I find this on limewire?

[tomwatson1]

u dont u fuck lunatic get rid of limewire and go cop the album.. if u cant find it go look harder

[ultimatedominance]

HahahaHAhahaha dope...

[colenbrak]

go out and bye the record

[Dhommi]

Krhm.. who said that this song is sampled from sum shitty rick roll joint? You're wrong.

The Sample is Stylistics - Love is the Answer

[erv255]

WU-like beat heh

[somdweller]

Pure artistry, if niggas can be sellin' a million birds and choppin' everybody up, then they can also be some cool, playa, gettin' money type brothas. For me this was a little different from the rest of the Big Willy'isms happenin' around this time. (95-96)

[juscallmetoad]

the beat is sick

[TheOrganDonors]

I love it... still... it's a rick roll beat

"never gonna give you up...."

[incognitoTLM]

the debut album was sick!!!! i rocked this ittish when it first came out and still rockin it today.

[crudogg05]

def Dat Piff son!!!

[ovibe]

These guys had such an amazing flow.. One of my favorite groups from the 90's

If yall aint heard their track "Bubblin" from back then search it.. its FIRE!!

[dirtydodger]

What?

[Ballsinger]

oh my god it kinda does sound like that haha still this beat is dope

[UnstoppableJae]

i loved this track from the moment i first heard the "uptown"album...good times ya'll

[1983CHAMPS]

camp was deep. their music remain to knock some heads. their musical arrangement was original and fresh during their time. the only group whose style is just as comparable is digable planets.

[Strictly4Underground]

fuckin sick

[da1clipperman]

one of the most underrated beats and groups of all time

[kevin11354]

@da1clipperman

Korean Rap Group Drunken Tiger sampled their beats too.

Look up Drunken Tiger- I Want You

[LetishaR09]

Great hip hop

[swimp15]

I am Ish....

[PhalltyScruwz]

Yo camp da truff...i definately fux wit'em!!

[daxatax33]

Smoov enuf to take a Crown, somebody failed and filed in the lost and found.

[cheekavesi]

[sluchacz18]

gites

[bucc209]

favorite track from the uptown saturday night album. geechie suede and sonny cheeba on the mic with a fuckin ill beat,you can't go wrong. STR8 FIRE!!!!

[karatedisco]

When they came onto the scene and even NOW they are truly one the most creative styles of HIP-HOP(HIP-HOP NOT THAT RADIO/MTV/BET/stuff)that ever hit the scene.I HOPE THEY got sum stuff instored for the future.

[penelopepizzo]

you are so right!!! listening to this track now makes me see they were definetely further than the average!!!WE GOTTA BRING HIPHOP BACK TO THAT GOLDEN AGE FEELING!!!

[karatedisco]

Yeah it sux back then ''Camp Lo''got made fun of by alot of ''Mainstream Rap artist.But Hip hop isnt about sounding exactly like every other saleing artist.True Hip-hop is as found in its founding,was a music of creativity not conforming to the radio/music standard.Hip hop is in essence Ultimate creative ways of being made not a standard sound or definition.Hip-hop can and has been a mix of everything from Blues,Rock,R&B,etc its has and can be from everything.Thats hip hop to me atleast.

[tonnpoppin1]

2 of hip hops finest 4real!!!!

[cheloki420]

Satin Struthers, Diamond Delegates!!!!

[Mackadoeshez]

Camp Lo-aaaaaaa!!!!

[Berswrecker]

They got some crazy ass slang. Definitely the best song off the album.

[truecanefan]

bitches give respect 2 real niggaz hoes get real pure hip hop here straight buckdown fuck boys and tell yalls mama

[mbelton3]

good job jacaboe

[ONEMANPROD]

search jigg littles freestyle

bronx lyricist

[Gazzamartinez]

Camp Lo were well ahead of the curve with this Uptown Saturday Night. One of my favourite rap albums from the 90s

[smbplibra93]

Damn! just reading the lyrics and then listening to the song makes it seems as if this is one of the best songs ever made!

[RudeBoy170]

As underrated as they Lo is- thy def do have some of the best hip hop songs ever made. period.

nobody can do what Bronx Niggas do

[Trackstar159]

except harlem world

[RADICALIfNecessary]

Don't forget Crooklyn.

[Markuz45]

madd sick track..the beat is original

[dddoughboyyy]

naw not really

[Mookszz]

What a fucking good song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darondo]

Originally in 97, I slept on this track only because I found the violin cheeze. Nowadays, I don't mind so much. Uptown Saturday Night was genius. Go Ski!

[yeahifnsaidit]

These dudes were ahead of their time...

[rcd215]

If you guys can feel the rhythm of this instrumental, another group of rappers sampled this instrumental. Search for Drunken Tiger - I want you

[cocoacute]

wow this beat is too hot

[Rex0230]

One of my favourite albums is Uptown Saturday Night! An this is probably my favourite song of the album!

And yeah, i need that instrumental too... Any1 know where i can find it?

[Noshad]

Where can I get the instrumental?

Thank you!

[astewart2005]

Dope song! "Uptown Saturday Night" is a classic. There's not one skippable track on the album.

[HydeHeart]

Drunken Tiger..hmm?

[empak]

Yup, same hook, but I'm pretty sure DT sampled from this song, considering this album was out two years before DT's.

[CarnEvil08]

Peep the story SONNY CHEEBA GEECHEE SWEADE!

[JDILLADOOM]

Geeechi Suede.

[BUGGA817]

WE NEED 2 BUY CD's fuck download man in support hip hop

[Mr36O]

the thing about that is if an album is dope enough it will get bought. And if an artist wants to sell an album he has to put some kind of gimmick to it now. Like the first 100,000 are collectors editions and number the CD. or you get something free for buying it. shit like that will help u sell actual albums.

[Leones44]

Man, I had heard of Camp Lo back in the day but didn't really know much about their music. I'm discovering them now on youtube. Wish I had known earlier. Its a shame that hiphop has moved away from stuff like this to shit like soulja boy. Nas is right, hiphop is dead. We need dudes like them, Lupe, etc to breath life back into it.

[Muziq5678]

Speakn dat true sht right there man, middle finga 2 da ringtone rappers das how I feel

[blakswan08]

man this shit take me back. im from nc and believe me...cats was sleeping on these dudes. this is one of the illest beats ive heard!

[ChaChing86]

big ups to the 'somali' reference in this joint!

-somali

[migmega]

The sample is The Stylistics-Love is the answer

[YuhBoiAD]

What is that sample?!?!

[koreanseoulmate]

This song is one of my FAVs from Cheeba & Swade. Drunken Tiger did a remake of this song. Still wonderin where this sample came from. CAMP LO AH!!!

[SakurabaSan]

you have no idea wha you're talking about

it can be sniffed

[doct8270]

why would you ask someone if they ever been to the hood, what do you gain from asking that, nothing, i'm sick people happy to come from a hood, shits not nice, i mean hood life, im out and im never going back

[CoupeDeville23]

I never glamorized the hood, I merely asked because most people who haven't been there wouldn't know about stuff like that. Notice I said 'no disrespect'...

[CoupeDeville23]

no disrespect... but have you ever been to the hood?

[McConsumer]

you can sniff it. Just don't get all pulp fiction with it

[louiearmstrong]

it can be insufflated (snorted), its how most junkies get started.

[CoupeDeville23]

I wish I knew about Camp Lo back in the day... I can't find anything by them in the stores

[FloMonKish]

fressssh

[topdawg2020]

AGGGHHHHHH MAAAANNNNN that's the joint that I used to play all the time. I can't here it now with these speakers, but the bass line used to hit hard.

[uptown1317]

BLACK ROB WAS DECENT TOO

[McConsumer]

whoa

[GOLDENSUNxXx]

Dope'

[userbrains]

[caphimm]

[gs430430]

this album was a classic. they repped harlem/uptown correctly. wtf is up with these fooz reppin uptown nowadays?? Dipset???? f*ckin dipshits.....

[yanksukdik17]

[halomunkey]

I totally agree with you dude, Dipset should change their names to "Dipshit".

[shadb33]

they actually from bx homie

[CoupeDeville23]

I thought they were from uptown (Harlem)???

[shadb33]

naw...they reppin the bronx...if u got their album listen to them...plus they're my myspace friends and it says the bronx on there lol

[SakurabaSan]

They repped uptown but not Harlem. They're from the Bronx.

[MrMidnight36]

These brothas have so much swagger. This shit takes me back. Classic anthem. Much love to the Diamond Crooks! Lowa, Lowa, Lowa.. Hell, you know by my name that I'm a fan of these cats.

[Demosthemostrealist]

I really do miss this type of music, I get tired of shoot'em up bang bang. But which on e is which?  The bug-eyed one what is his name I think he has the 1st verse? Are they Muslim.

[urssus101]

yes i love that song too thanks for posting hugs to y'all from Brazil with love

[Antnorthphilly]

This shit makes me miss the 90's so bad I wanna cry...the south killed my nigga, Real hip hop.

[KaratCake]

the south aint kill it bro, it was killed by fans supporting ANY shit they seen on tv.

[funkdafied90s]

Sooo True Homie I Agree 100%

[funkdafied90s]

Even Though Im Not From The South I Agree Cuz Outkast And Ludacris Are Part Of My Favorite Rappers

[kva5004]

Man i am Officially Going to listen to 85% old school from now on. only a few select will stay. and they include Jay, common, kanye,lupe,papoose,Ghost or any old school rappers who are still droppping That Good Ish to your ear. Fuck all those new cats talking about Ice and car and hoes all the damn time. So underrated. I'm trying to learn good shit not poison.

[AdamantiumSimian]

Listen to 5 coz 85 aint got a clue! And 10 want yo azz son! Peace!

[kva5004]

i like that...lol

[Friday2020]

Peep the story...Sonny Cheeba Gucci Suede

[TMundo]

yeah, they have a different style.  I can't always make out what they're sayin' but on this particular album, it has captured their voices.

[Akrisone]

the whole album is dope check the track lucini its mind blowing.

[dj1slandboy]

This whole album is great..

[kamesan]

Me & my homeboy was rappin on this song back in the day

[bigtim2]

Black Connection is the real dope.

[bigtim2]

Miggy25, I just think nobody can beat this song. Not 95 % but 100 %!

[bigtim2]

12/10?

e = mc2/10 !!

[miggy25]

such a great song from a classic album--greatness way before its time and still better than 95% of albums that come out today...Today's acts need to study how unique and brilliantly Camp Lo did it everytime they hit the mic

[TruVandal]

Uptown Saturday Night is that type of album you leave it on random and repeat, then just smoke a bliz to.

[bigtim2]

Thats the best Camp Lo track.

Which exactly means:

The best rap song of all time!

[angelo1405]
