[WvgArt]

[SuperJwalk]

[kEPTreaL100]

I would love to see how WAYNE/ DRAKE and maybe the real lyricist outta that bunch BABY would do if it was all about the flow and ryhme skill today !!

CYPHA UP HomeBoy \ EFFn Fraudulent CARBON copies NOT WORTHY !!

portuGUESE STONER

[chiladin]

@kEPTreaL100 come on man Drake sings alot sure and he really only raps about how his heart has been broken by some sluts he shouldn't have been messing with in the first place but dud can spit. Go listne t o his verse off Light It Up or Dreams Money Can Buy. He's from Toronto. The T-Dot is a REAL Hip Hop city. Lil Wayne has certainly dumbed down his flow but listen to the Dedication 2. Let's not act like them dudes are garbage cus we don't like there music cus' when they want to they go in.

[ReturnOfTheBoomBap22]

@chiladin go preach that shit elsewhere!

[chiladin]

@ReturnOfTheBoomBap22 I won't because ya'll peons don't understand that EVERYBODY plays a part in Hip Hop and by even acknowledging them cats you're giving them power! Even in the 80's and 90's ya'll act like EVERYBODY was nice when that wasn't the case.

[MrLexTalionis1]

@chiladin Who would you say was not nice in the 90's?Just wondering.

[iHipHopIsNotDead]

@chiladin

When a Artist make Bullshit dumbing the youth down promoting violence drugs and sex ofcourse they are not gettin respect even when they have 1 song that is real.

Gotta keep it real a 100 we hiphopheads dont give a fuck about the music you make if u not REAL from the inside

[lostdogrwd101]

it not about the flow any more. it about what you can show. but true hip hop is the flow and you just got to have it to do it

[kix101able]

damn i was just in england blasting this ish, the good days,smh...

one of my favorite hip hop artist from the 90's ! It gave me a serious flash back

[Aramanak]

what is the first instrumental ?

[bletso123]

best thing about hip hop is no matter how deep u search, u will always find raw music u have never heard before

its the only genre in the world that has such a wide range of talent

[BluntZilla57]

ignorance 

[tintanknowsbest]

@bletso123 hip hop is a fairly new genre the reason why you can find raw shit is that its very easy to record as opposed to music which requires instrumental tracks. talent in hip hop is all dead, the new shit coming out now is fucking trash 99% of all "rappers" now are faggots who spit 40 metaphors then say shit like "BEST RAPOR ALYV"

[trevorlipinski]

I was in grade 10 and had this recorded off Rap City on a VHS just after Beatnuts, Do You Believe and O.C., Far From Yours.

[Sugglife]

@trevorlipinski Those were the fucking days '97-'98, right when it was all going downhill and these dudes could have never saved it, no disrespect to them. I admire them for trying to hold on!! I had all three of those joints in constant rotation at that time!!

[steeltownbrown52]

@MrTonyalvarez Hell yeah. I was deejaying at the college station at the time when this came out...oddly enough I was till in high school, but all my friends were in college and mostly Djs, rhymers, and graff heads...good times.

[AZSTATEisGAY]

[greekprincefly]

[WhichWayToRun]

[dalmartin]

[gleesocks]

When hip hop was still REAL!!

[tomjalland]

You need to stop jerkin dillas dick, you heard one diamond beat!!

He's been in the game for twenty years or more. Why people allways gotta argue who's best???

[tomjalland]

The track at the begining is 'projects' by diamond from the same album not De la soul. Mase from de la is on the chorus.

[tomjalland]

@tomjalland Sorry not Mase he was the Dj, it was pos or trugoy!

[CrunkSippinSizzurp]

yo mofuckas need to stop jerkin they dick over this beat, better than dilla??? no way, don't get me wrong this shit is fire, sample is good but that snare is mad weak, that beat in the beginning was sick though

[KYS1978]

Classic!!! Cant say much more than that!! Still listen to this album regularly!

[TheTruePhoenixxx]

This shits tight.

[uantuan]

Eldo- "Noc" (the end of song)

[Captainrish]

Leave you dead and stinkin, just like Abe Lincoln...master of the awkward yet lovable rhyme!

[smstokes]

I just want to give praise to one of the founding fathers of the "Diggin In The Crates Crew", Diamond D! Yo, anyone who was followed and is a TRU hip hip finatic, know Diamond only came out with his albums just to show people he can do it!

[DNAOFASMOOTHMANSHOW]

i couldnt agree with u more........diamond d was what dilla is (sleep well detroit dilla) i would say one of the best producer of real hip hop.......

[funckyuncle]

diamond d with the dope sound

[CLOVEONE1]

The Great Diamond D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rocksteady1097]

This is one of the rawest hip hip albums made. I got this shit in my car right now on cassete.

[cybersalad]

I hated this album at the time--but in retrospect it's not too bad. A pretty standard mid '90s hardcore album attempting to hit mainstream with love songs and uncharacteristic (for Diamond) gambino-isms. I do like the production on it...in fact I've had it on heavy rotation for a few weeks lately. Dunno why.

[Bloodsport1]

I felt the same way man. I realized alot of rappers are actually hitting that higher level back in the 90's that's why we didnt like it back then but as we grew and more mature we appreciate this kind of album. Maybe that the reason he didnt blow up like he should. Diamond got that over the head shit.

[cybersalad]

There's so many albums I didn't like when they came out that years later I re-discovered. This includes Pete Rock & CL Smooth, the whole Wu family, Nas, MF Doom etc. I'm usually about 3-4 years behind the curve.

I remember when I first heard Operation: Doomsday in 1999 I thought it was absolutely horrible. A year later I was rocking it every day in my system. :)

[acegotflows]

@cybersalad Doomsday was like crack for me for years. Couldn't get back to the feeling of the first time I head it, but that didn't stop me from trying...

[moetsuf]

in the 90's americans were spoiled with the best rappers ever seen, so no one really recognized it cos the standard was higher, now the standard is incredibly low and thats why we look back at the kings for good music that we havent heard

[RixxN]

@moetsuf

the standard is not low, nowadays there isn't any standard haha ;D

R.I.P. to good music (Y)

[WadeWestTv]

@moetsuf preach brother. shits on point

[bigben1986]

the track in the beggining is of de la soul . album called "stakes is high" song is stakes is high"

[612to410]

the sample at the start of the track is de la soul but the beat is not.

[tomjalland]

@bigben1986 Wrong! Its another Diamond track from the same album called the projects, featuring De la on the chorus

[MDSingerling]

whats that track in the beggining

[tenzwykly]

i tylko nas dwóch zna ten refren, samo centrum Żurawia, jest grubo po trzeciej a my...

la laa laa laaaa la

[tfarog]

@tenzwykly dokladnie :)

[TobioshiMoru]

what was the track he w/the hook saying "gotta get away, gotta get away"? it was talking bout him slinging and gettin caught out there - original right? (lol) but it was like 93-94. does anyone know what its called?

[tomjalland]

@TobioshiMoru 'i'm outta here,' from his first album titled, stunts,blunts and hip hop, classic material!

[michal23pl]

we are for the 90's like a hippies for the 60's. it will never come back. it was a part of our life. but it's not dead!! it's still alive in our minds. that consciousness is like a gift. thanks God i wasn't born ten or twenty years later. thank you Mom and Dad lol!

[bdrel]

@michal23pl

couldn't agree more my friend...

[ForstaSvenskenIRymdn]

@michal23pl Dont forget that our time actually have great artists, even though we might not have noticed them yet.

[michal23pl]

@ForstaSvenskenIRymdn true. of course. the point is that my mind and minds of many people from my generation are shaped by 80's/90's. nothing can change that. peace.

[AlisTaiRS94]

@michal23pl Nah mate i was born waay to fucking late, i'm the only person who actually really cares about real hip hop

[TheRunawayslave]

@michal23pl WOW SON ME AND U BOTH!!!!!! 8O'S PROPERTIES AT ITS FINEST!!!

[ImaazeDa3th]

@michal23pl

theres still a few people keepin it real, but the 90 feeling is dead. you know, we cant stop in time, we must move on. I dont mean i listen on the garbage on the radio, but this is life.

[MAGIKORBIT]

@michal23pl word son

[jsr1200]

@michal23pl thanks to your pops that gave the drops of life..

[jhochstein]

@michal23pl Couldnt have said it better myself. Hip Hop belongs to us. No one can take it away.

[MrTonyalvarez]

@michal23pl Well said!!! I'm stuck in the 90's when it comes to hip hop. I was so blessed to experience it first hand. Those memories I have will always be with me, it's gone but not dead. Not to me and not in my heart

Peace

[sfknns]

@MrTonyalvarez , LoL I'm still stuck in the 90s to man when is comes to hip hop & some other things to!

[rotarolla85]

@michal23pl mad quote dude. respect to all mums n pops who brought hip hop babys to the earth - real recognize real, shame on a....

[osiulz]

@michal23pl a hip hop? dobre plyty wciaz wychodza,chociaz media nie widza,chociaz media sie wstydza.

[michal23pl]

@osiulz każdy ma swoje dziesięciolecie w którym z dziecka staje się dorosłym człowiekiem i wchłania rzeczywistość każdą komórką na skórze. dla mnie to były lata 90te. potem już tylko obrasta mentalną powłoką i dystansuje się do realnego świata powoli aż do śmierci. o to mi chodziło:)

[osiulz]

@michal23pl czaje od poczatku do konca ;) pozdro ;)

[hbk619rey]

@osiulz he doesnt speak polish bud

[msnikish]

@michal23pl word up brother!!!!!!! i be stuck in that 90's state of mind, i remember my mom telling my pops to get rid of some his clothes that was leftover from the 70's , this was like 1986....i dont still have my clothes from hight shcool, but i do find myself wanting to dress the way i did in 92-93....and when i hear this man right here, man i in Mt Vernon High School all over again i walked around with this shit in my walkmen all day!!!!!!

[sofiazuu]

lalalalaaaaaaaaaaa ...
