[MrNusouth]

[dosedose317]

Big Up

[lunaneo1007]

[Hallaladies]

[Kevodah]

He said "trampling each other, tryin' to exit......"

[SADMANMUSIC35]

[daevism]

5 suck Lz live on university street.... maybe 75...Wesifalif...NIA.

[garychldress74]

This is how you sound when go to English class in high school. Dope!!

[SpraxIAKS]

@garychldress74 And actually pay attention.

[tvnews0419]

Classic!

[natefullahate]

[shaunlufc64]

just when i start getting pissed off with hip hop, i watch this to sort me head out, CLASS AS FUCK

[shaunlufc64]

just when i start getting pissed off with hip hop, i watch this to sort me head out, CLASS AS FUCK

[StreetUniversity75]

Dope track but its just fun ..Story tellin goes to Jacken from Psycho Realm. "What the problem Is" ajahahahaah. but this track was dope,classic.

[StreetUniversity75]

Cant fuck with sick Jacken from Psycho realm. not even close

[MrWalkwithme]

@StreetUniversity75 what are you even talking about? Cas slaughters Jacken lyrically and in rhyme patterns. not knocking your taste or preference but get real. Cas is an all-time beast. story telling? i think your point must be subjective, because i wouldnt even have jacken in my top 20 "story tellers" either. there's room enough for everyone to love who they love, but to say Cas is "not even close", just sounds like you are on PR payroll, cuz thats some idiotic ridiculousness booshit.

[StaceyDebono]

@MrWalkwithme - word.

[StreetUniversity75]

@MrWalkwithme And ur on Cas's Pay roll? ahahaha same shit. You thinking Cas is a better stry teller is comedy to me ahahahaha. Muggs vs Jack says it all....Cas would never put lyrics and stories like that. Remember it's a battle mc versus a street Philosopher.

Don’t take my block lightly

We’re screwed up like everybody in the world might be

Born into Union the 17th out the womb

In the 70’s repping Lost Angels through the musical melodies

[slevels1]

someone needs to bring this type of style back to the mainstream

[mrcaptaincooke1]

@slevels1 problem was it never was mainsteam, but it could be now...and this Streetuniversity75 cat above me is straight TRIIIIIIIIIIIPIN! "You're wack and it's all your fault"

[robertoalmazansales]

D WUEVOSSSSSSSSSS

[mentalect]

Yo!

Get the fuck off my dick and let me rip this shit!

[erikthe10man]

Casual to Lil Wayne: You're wack and it's all your fault.

[sotocapo]

classical line: U BIT SO HARD I THOUGHT THAT SHIT WAS A QUOTE damn!!!

[MrRayDarren]

"I feel tight knowing that the shit I write

will be exposed to foes, and everyone will feel frightened" -This song embodies everything I like about hip-hop!!!

[dharmaboy75]

Sick ! Still have this on tape!

[TrueLai]

Sick as fuck.

[SkydivinWhales]

has anyone else heard the remix of cream to this track on hiero and wutang's collaboration album?

[RVCA91]

i have, and it's a remix album made by a DJ who passed out copies at Rock The Bells or somethin like that

[derr3alex]

when this came out I flipped, the beat was bananas, and the rhyme was crazy, "I write raps and when niggas bite I clap, cause they shit sound better now" can't think of a better opening line to a song

[delirious44]

love the rhyme the beat and the cuts , This is that 93 / 94 flava in full effizect

[Bigbahe2]

Yep!!!

[PIOSystems]

YEah, all of them have a similar flow style. Del is my fave, thou.

[jedimind30]

big hiero fan...what i like about these cats is their style of rappin..like you can tell its hiero when they spit....casual is hard..but del is the best... who would win a battle between del and casual???..del hands down...

[SkydivinWhales]

tajai

[computerblue1]

HIERO!!!

[sadcutie]

THATS HOW IT IS!!!!

[RealHipHopSucks93]

wack song

[dmajorhiphopproducer]

"I write raps, And when niggaz bite, I clap, 'Cos their shit sounds better now. You done let me down, I thought it would be dope, but instead, Your shit's dead, You gets fed To the alligators lurking in the moat, Peep what I wrote, You bit so hard, I though your shit was a quote. But still I'm taxing, axing the competition, And any wack men, I stomp & dis 'em Easily.." Damn... this whole first verse is classic. One of the best written songs ever. Madly underrated M.C.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@dmajorhiphopproducer

This joint is still dope!

[mrcaptaincooke1]

@dmajorhiphopproducer AMEN my man, Casual is a raw as hip hop gets, "to the hoes i'm cute so I always got boo's.... More Niggaz got my back than Rodney King.." wish I could hear new shit like this.

[Arsinek1]

@dmajorhiphopproducer WORD!!! One of the best HipHop tracks of all time!!!

[akadatruf]

this is a perfect hip hop song

[kevhar12]

This is the real hardcore rap that demolishes all that bubblegum rap. Caual is truly one of the most underrated emcees. Actually all of Hiero are dope on level or another.

[certifryed]

Casual IS the dopest in Hiero!

[stikkontakt4]

the ish right here

[BarackPrez]

There's a version with an even better beat...

[PacificDark]

Lies and blasphemy... j/k This beat is just so primal, I have to defend it

[BarackPrez]

I Respect that to the Fullest...

[akadatruf]

ner heard it but hard to imagine cause this beat is so simple yet super dope at the same time

[moeses]

this song is really as good of a song as you can make...iand that's what it's about

being the best

[sotocapo]

"U WACK AND ITS ALL UR FAULT!!!!"

[InfiniteScroll]

nice drop. thanx for brining back the memories.

[j123na]

"ya dun let me downnn, cuz i thought u would be dope, but instead, your shit's dead...u gets fed to the allligators lurking in the moat, peep what i wrote, u bit so hard i thought the shit was a quote..but still im taxing, askin for competition, and any wack men i stomp and diss em EASILY, and u can feel the pressure bust. when i bust MC's'll BE...travelin into each other, tryin to exit, when i flex it, the way i wreck shit is not unexpected"

this is one of the rawest tracks ever!!! HIERO!

[Kevodah]

@j123na  "Tramplin' each other tryin' to exit...."

[Kevodah]

@j123na

He said "trampling each other, tryin' to exit......"

[quickstopUK]

this music sucks but at least you have a GMC Typhoon in the vid.

[seaniffirg]

[PacificDark]

HAhahahahaha, my roomates are looking at me wondering why the hell I am laughing so hard. Good one.

[projectmuffin]

tramplin eachother tryin to exit when i flex it..the way i wreck shit is not unexpected

[evan2355]

i saw this guy live at the catalyst along with hieroglyhics and blue scholars in Santa Cruz. he was cool as fuck good rapper and everything. and he was rolling a fatty chop after the show on stage it was sick.

great MC casual

[Jayo151]

This dude is classic .....MC ...yessir .. n I can see just listening to this now that he definitely inspired Notorious B.I.G somewhat ..listen to the flow

[rln2bluns]

What the hell happen to saafir he fell of after box car sessions. His verse was tight in one song i dont remeber which though.

[erthdirt1]

Trigonometry and The Hit List are good albums, check em out

[MDogg0321]

This NEW generation knows NOTHING about this SHIT!!! VICIOUS & MEAN!!! One of my all time favs!! NEW SCHOOL rappers can't even touch this!

[BestVideosEver01]

[Bigbahe2]

You nailed it!!!

[DJBigGeno]

One of the best MC's out of the Bay! MC not rapper!

[poetsrule]

[paranoidpfanclub]

i've been looking for this song for ages! claaassiiiic!

[slappzz]

'You bit so hard I thought the shit was a quote'

Classic tune

[kevhar12]

That`s one of the most clever and ironic lines I`ve ever heard.

[stevegraner]

shit is so raw. crazy that he's the third or fourth best member of the hiero crew too.

[foxinsox1000]

can somebody please make a 'this is how we rip shit' video??????

[carcove]

I remember the Casual vs Saafir battles back in the day...

[NASAROK1]

heiro was dope...esp back on the East cuz aside from freestyle fellowship we werent feelin any west coast back then

[stevoakaurban]

Hardcore to the fullest

Word to ur mother

[gaspik71]

Dam its been a while since i heard this

its still FAT

[casey12343]

i like the remix better

[aceloco78]

You gotta check out his full lenth album, "Fear Itself" classic underground.

[popifromcharlottenc]

I had the opportunity to meet casual in carboro nc and he cool as shit. He was the first big cool rapper that made me feel like being a big dude was cool......his swagger juice been drip'n preciate it CAS

[GomerDose]

"Niggas try ta flow, but they sound like me.. a year ago"

Ima bite that line!

[bigblue095]

Where to start, this is still relavent today, oh my damn, I can't remember how many times I played this over and over, casual was my dude damn, that's it I don't know what else to say I'm speechless...one

[mikeygeneral]

When souls of mischief came out with this dude.I said new york rappers got something to worry about,especially with opeo doing production.video shoot was nice too. damn heiro had some serious shit going for a minute.

[soln4suh]

CASUAL was HIERO'S lyrical enforcer! anyone got a copy of the HIERO/HOBO JCT wake up show battle? please post!

[zoloftboy]

And its not that bs remix on youtube...

The official "disseshowedo mix" is what im talking about...

[zoloftboy]

The remix kills this and this is a good cut :)

Finally found it.

[attaboy83]

this beat is hard!!!!!!

[cstyle10]

When I say Casual is in my top 15 niggas be trippin. Thas how I know they ain't real hip hop in my eyes. Cas is the TRUTH

[venosf]

Yeah cat!!!!

[1SAMIAM]

i agree with thirdshift completely

[zoloftboy]

Remix was hella better where is it?

[Alkebulan32]

I wish this style would come back, creative lyrics, wittiness, flow.... no bling or exaggerated "gangsta" boasts.. and the remix was wicked too!

"You're wack and it's all your fault" classic..

[adiosbackslashlosers]

casual has only gotten better over the years. one of my favorite rappers.

[thirdshift47]

This single came out right after Souls hit us with 'Thats when ya lost' ,and Del followed suite with the 'No need for alarm' single.Heiro put a stranglehold on the underground for a short time and upped the quality control standards of the whole genre.Now it seems that it's once every four or five years that you hear a classic single in underground hip hop.Back then ya had to rock.

[thirdshift47]

Easily one of the filthiest tracks in hip hop history,plus the remix was even better!Reminds me of a time when the 'hardest' emcees were the ones dissin' the thugs.

[cstyle10]

good comment

[thirdshift47]

Thanks.Casual is a fierce mc,by any measure.Anyone not familiar with this brotha probably knows very little of the emcees craft.

[sotocapo]

casual said U SPIT SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUOTE!! what the f--k!! damn son...i had to rewind on that part to hear it again. killa one liners!!!

[sotocapo]

i meant bit so hard..not spit..sorry!! still though..wow casual!! heiro style on em. will utterly destroy most mc's of the current mold today hands down no ???

[sotocapo]

the beat is simple but sick!! classical cut from a nice hip hop emcee and group as a whole regardless of the coast!! "..that's how it was and that's how it is.."

[adamwillgo]

Around this time, 93 or so, artists put out singles that had equally good remixes.

We didn't appreciate it enough. It was just normal then.

[Skoshi33]

Casual is a lyricist. Plain and simple.

[acidsoulking]

HIERO!!!!!!!

real hiphop

[bzrwon]

i remember back in 98 i had a looong argument about dope mcs and me and my friend almost got into a fistfight because i said casual would eat cameron and the lox up by himself, let alone the hieros. ahhh.. good times.

[kevhar12]

Well you were only stating the truth. Let it be known.Hiero is the bomb.

[blackss562]
