Phife Dawg, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Black Thought & Consequence Freestyle Session

[DAMMSE420]

dats ill !

[Improv]

I thought it was an early Dilla track as well, but Tip said it's a Pete Rock beat. Guess R U Listening was from the Dilla "Pete Rock" phase. But yes this is strictly a Pete Rock beat

[ahverruz]

Was lookin for this session!!!

[aelcheapogmail]

4 people used to touch the stove when their parents told them it was HOT!

[BACKBONEtelevision]

#classic ....

[Antertainment531]

This is how real hip hop should be represented.

[Antertainment531]

Yo, which instrumental is this from? I heard it from somewhere....

[MrMajor92]

Damn need this type of rap now a days

[lafairweath3]

This beat is not a sped up version of 'R U Listening'...geez why do so many people keep saying that. You can literally hear the differences, its just the same sample.

[spartansoldiercat]

The beat is a sped up version of Dilla's R U Listening joint from his brother's album Yancey Boys

[accelerate27]

name of this beat?

[kjahfey08]

i like the way yall just posted this shit like 3 yrs ago thats hiphop ....word keep it sacred ;its brown hornet in had this early.......what?????

[Ynot707]

3 robots in the world.

[JoeKeiltyUK]

Can anyone help with a certain phife rhyme in this? starts at 8:30

"Yo, how much is that LP in the window?

And when ya pick it up make sure ya never let go,

cause when I grab the mic MC's they go XXXXXXXXX"

It sounds like petrol ala major, but that makes no sense. Help ;D

[PineTarRag]

@JoeKeiltyUK "cause when I grab the mic MC's they go Petro (petrified) I'll amaze ya....

[NiaRenee11]

[jiggyjazzman]

Phife and Thought killed it.

[JoeKeiltyUK]

[EIGGER85]

OOOOO MYYYY GOD....pure heat

[TheRevolutionaryPoet]

Someone tell me how you can dislike pure genius? Man...you can't dislike a masterpiece like this. This is how music needs to be. And that word is bond.

[Back2DaBassics]

Yea the beat is speed up , but it's Dilla shot from his brother's album... Illa J yance boys ... R U Listening..

[69jamrock]

What beat is this? So familiar

[TonisLOC]

big shouts too MONEY EARNIN MT VERNOOOONNNNN

[marcuscerelus]

yall can say "dont trip, its just one dislike" but fuck that! I can't understand how you can dislike this mix. Unless it was accidently hit. Whatever, to each his own, i guess.

[FINbball]

Shoul've had someone from Wu-Tang, maybe Meth or Deck in the studio

[tasteycornbread]

>_< I love this beat.

[TheRudeboi509]

All they needed was talib and mos def and the studio wouldve literally blew up! BUT that shit was still fyah!!!! Hellfiyah!!! LEGENDS for sure!!!

[Pirate7X]

"...like Q-tip my partner's name is Malik..." What?! Think about it. Damn.

Black Thought is THE BEST EMCEE EVER.

[g1churchboy]

Dope Post.

Most may not have known that this was a reunion of sorts, since PR got his start at 17 spinning for Marley Marl back at WBLS.

Gotta love how Black Thought made Phife & Tip up their game after he ripped it.

[istheemcee]

Only a cypher can bring this type of energy!

[nochaser100]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[adammas1]

[AsIdefr0mItalL]

the clear words entering

your ear this year

are coming from l p area

bring that word back

i'm saying area word

i sat and wrote this rhyme

so your mind can observe

i be feeling like the ping-pong ball

being served going back and forth

between my heart and my word

[Biggiedafirst]

i think C.L should've been there too

[iancurtis86]

@Biggiedafirst Pete Rock wasn't fucking with C.L. any more in those days. They broke up in '94-'95.

[Kochasiech]

Holy shit, what a combo!

[BigWoozi]

d0_0b WOOOWW!!!! That was extremely too much hip hop for me right there, blew my mind away!!!

[unclegusyo]

imagine hearing this shit live, i would've went fucking mental

[Kroutoubi]

OMG...I can't stop smiling listening to this. It's just a reminder of how the level of what it is our there nowadays has severely dropped. They should just an All-Star album just to bring real hiphop back.

[marcuscerelus]

@Kroutoubi id prob sell a limb for them to collab just once for an LP

[SangTheMarvelous]

Oh my god! what els can I ask for?!

[marcuscerelus]

[rabidninja]

@DopeNeedlz people who are real fans of hip hop agree wit you

[Dazast]

Damn... I was hoping Pete dropped this beat on vinyl.

But, that's what makes Pete Rock so mysterious... ? Ya'll know what I'm sayin ?

With those little 20-second beats in between his songs.

I never knew they ran (raw/new) tracks through the SP 1200 on futureflavas.

!!!!!!! Pure Hiphop Baby !!!!!!!!!

[illest22]

its obviously pete rocks beat

its on the futureflavas show from one of the sps in marleys studio there

[Dazast]

I looked, but they're only talking about the sample...

I'm assuming it's either Pete Rock, Diamond D, or DJ Spinna. I really want drop this instrumental at a party, and watch em flip !

[Dazast]

Anybody know the name of the beat & who produced it ?

It's been killing me forever.

[behtashbg]

Same George Duke sample!

[darknesseverybody]

What's the song for the George Duke sample?

[CWroyal88]

North Beach

[illest22]

[Akromegalex]

Yes but it's the same sample used

[drumatic]

@Akromegalex great ear! Exactly... Pete flipped that jawn backwards and forwards... I like his version better because of the tempo.

[dhwand]

@Akromegalex yeah you are on point dilla's version is slower though same sample flipped .

[fagaret]

@Akromegalex i thought so too but pete sped up the sample a bit :p
