  • @SatlaNivai

    Haha, just admit you thought this track was from 2007.

  • @holdkaeftima

    YES of course this is what i would think. because i want to this page by looking up "justion beiber kiss XXX" or something like that. my referance to the year 2007 was that it was the year i started listening to 90's hip hop and older hip hop, and basically, older, better music. eccepted?

  • Legendary!!!

  • Крутотень!!!! Олдскул!!! ))))))

  • Probaly the most sampled hip hop song in hip hop LOL!

  • the realness

  • hahah ... yikes ... these lyrics STILL eat half the rappers out these days! its called being ahead of your time!

    SMEAR CAMP

    1.

  • I remember this shit was jaw dropping and DJ Premier was cutting his ass off.

  • This cat was way ahead of his time like We need this to be out today

  • REPRESENT.

  • buckwild is a dope producer

  • you was a sucka as a kid!

  • I can count so many quotes from this song. Its dope like a tree branch spawning new life .

  • @poedis word!

    "sit back im bout to begin"

    "il be the coming like noah"

  • 8 people lack the minerals and vitamins irons and the niacin

  • Lyrics over over produced beats anyday - it called Rap after all not just hot beats. That how you seperate the wack from the dope MC's just drop the beat and listen to the lyrics!!!

  • This whole album was on heavy rotation.

    Cats slept on it and wanted to hear that commercial shit when I put on this tape.

    OC is that truth.

  • Peppered beat.

  • DOES ANYONE HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MEANING OF THIS SONG; O.C-TIMES UP?

  • @1988mulato he was calling out fake MCs saying playtime is over, and revealing the fakes they are

  • proof his part at 8 mile with this beat

    RIP

  • It took him 2 years to write this verse....hard verse but who TAKES 2 YEARS TO WRITE A VERSE!!!

  • fav song all time....

  • Its funny this applies more today than back then

  • Killer-Ass Beat !

  • hip pop is what you are hearing on the radio,..This is art, try to see this as a painting, what soulja or whatever now is doing is printing stickers or making flyers try make money as much as you can...hip hop gave food to a lot of people while they were eating the paintings....

  • and like many other beautiful creations and dances that blacks have invented they will try to usurp real hip hop and try to claim it as their own. White rappers are trying to do real hip hop more than club hop. A lot of these old school dances that many think are white people dancing was actually started by blacks. Rock'nRoll is started by blacks but we say its white people music now. Hip Hop is Africanism and from oppressed blacks so we have to preserve our music and sound.

  • @baazbana I call it "Hip-Pop" personally. I agree with your white person sentiment about preserving rock n' roll, but to say black people don't preserve their music lineage is ignorant, sorry. I listen to Blues just as much as Rn'R, and Blues is imo the greatest form of guitar based music, which is still dominated by blacks. Being a white guy its funny cuz all my fav MCs are oldschool BigL, O.C. Guru, Blackstar etc. Never thought of that, weird.

  • @WHITE5KIN

    Good looking out man. All that shit about blacks do this and whites do this, whatever. The longer ignorant fools perpetuate it the longer it will be a problem. I love all my people leave the race out, represent who you are. Just listen to this song and live with that kind of prowess

  • not only that but white kids no matter how young learn their lineage of rock'n'Roll and they appreciate what came before them. They preserve music. No matter how into rap white kids are they will always be able to sing their parents music and any song from rock'nroll and heavy metal. The new school of black kids in rap dont give a fuck about early hip hop nor do they know anything about it. Blacks dont preserve their music. White people know what real hip hop is lol

  • this is one of the sickest tracks ever

  • This is why I hate KRS, people go around spouting this 'real hip hop' shit everywhere as if there's such a thing as fake hip hop. Soulja Boy is hip hop, face it, just because you don't like him doesn't mean you can throw him out of a genre that you're a fan of. Not to mention anyone who says hip hop dead obviously hasn't tried to find any of the many, many dope acts just under the ground...

  • @Creixhitme--Your statement was one of the most ignorant statements i have read today on youtube. Soulja Boy is not hip hop. As matter of fact most of this stuff that people are making in the mainstream is not hip hop. Its what I call Pop Hop or club hop. Black people havent properly made specifications in hip hop so that this can be solved. White people would never let something thats not rock n Roll be called Rock'nRoll because they have preserved their music very carefully and skillfully.

  • @baazbana - What the hell? There's no such thing as "Pop Hop" or "Club Hop". Those are just genre's made out of your own denial that Hip Hop can retain ownership of people who don't represent it's better side as an art. Not only that, butt most of the ghetto black people I know who listen to hip hop listen to artists like Gucci Mane or Wacka Flocka, they don't care about quality, just what gets the bass pumping. White people are the majority of underground rappers fanbase.

  • JUST LISTENING TO THIS SONG MAKES YOU WANT TO PICK UP AND READ A BOOK ! UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE DAYS WHEN RAPPERS SPOKE ENGLISH IN THEIR RHYMES ARE LONG GONE.

  • @1988mulato - LOL.

  • New shit can go to hell. We've got enough classics to hear for a lifetime.

  • I dont even mention the names of lames, why give them any publicity only OC and underground heads get props. Tracks pimpin beyond reality. NON CONCEPTUAL EVERYONES EITHER CRIME RELATED OR SEXUAL. So true.

  • "I would rather be broke and have al whole lot of respect"

    R.I.P. REAL RAP

  • how dope & prophetic was THIS joint? "thats what i consider real in this field of music, INSTEAD OF PUTTIN BRAIN CELLS TO WORK THEY ABUSE IT! non conceptional, non exceptional, everybody's either crime related or sexual!" THAT'S the mark of real hip hop: entertaining, educational, the ability to see outside the box! power fists & peace signs up for real hip hop-both new & classic!

  • Wow this song gives me the fucking chills, so ill

  • i feel cheated... im 21 born in 89 and no one brings soul like this into there music, their all either fed lyrics or ignorant....

  • dope brotha!!!

  • @YoungOldSchoolRapper Thank you, well said. Now he's tryin to get a cheap thumbs up

  • is that slick ricks voice at 3:03 ?

  • @JORDYB0Y yea, he sampled it

  • Stereotypical rap song (2011):

    hot bitches, pimped-out cars, hot bitches sitting on said pimped-out car or cars which may or may not have equally pimped-out stereo systems, said pimped-out car or cars rolling through the street with hot bitches sitting on locations not originally designed for sitting, stereotypically dressed African-American male driver(s) of said car or cars showcasing their expensive jewelery, more hot bitches dancing around said driver or drivers and their expensive jewelery.

  • @Mulekeep The truth, but they also add, Hot Bitches having sex with said rappers, Hot Bitches getting pimped by said rappers, Said rappers carrying guns and killing your brother, sister, mother, father just to show that they are hustlers, gangsters, etc. could go on and on

  • @Mulekeep Hahhaha, sad truth! Respect for real rap! OOOCCC....

  • @Mulekeep That could be describing dre and snoop in 93

  • @commandcaponez  .....you got no thumbs up, gtfo

  • @MCDruvel You gtfo, stop raging at my comments

  • @YoungOldSchoolRapper I agree yeah

    But it's still pretty good, not as well as the older music, but pretty decent.

  • "Drake is a good rapper"

    To even post that sort of nonsense on a video like this is a crime against human nature.

  • @eggynapalm Drake is a good rapper, don't talk shit about other rappers, I know you can't do any better.

    I didn't say he was better than oldschool, so stop whining

  • fucking amazing !

  • And it looks like 24 other people are entitled to their opinion, so shut your little 14yr old ass up, Drake is garbage

  • @kevindagame Well I guess i'm entitled to my opinion as well.

    So do me a favor and fuck off because I have an opinion too.

    Haters gon hate. </3

    I'm sorry for being 14 and commenting on youtube videos. I don't plan on being a 26 year no-life fuck like yourself commenting on what a 14 year old says on the internet.

    Thank you and have a nice day.

  • @commandcaponez Well youre the one who fucked up, you shouldnt have said nothin to me in the first place. So how about you fuck off

  • @kevindagame You should just accept the fact that music changed, umad?

  • their times limited, hardrocks too.

  • 8 mile!

  • THIS WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME.....................

  • the beat is fucking amazing!thats fucking underground!

  • @amatersoldier

    This ain't underground!! This is what we call hip hop in it's purest form!!

    I'm thankfull that i could enjoy/experience Hip hop in the 90's as a teenager.

  • @PyroCham Well, actually it's both!

  • @WStreetfame

    Back in the day this track was labeled just as Hip hop, not as underground hip hop.

    That's what i'm tryna say ;)

  • so thight

  • this was sampled by premo in Big L's song The Enemy.

    well the line "fuck who did i offend rappers sit back im about to begin"

  • he flows like a fag

  • @Putfile14 you flow like a fag what the fucks wrong with you

  • "Who will use wits to be a remainder...." One of my all time favz!!!

  • What did they sample?

  • "Their time's limited, hard rocks too" -> Slick Rick (from the song _Hey Young World_)

  • quality tune

  • 2:30

    "Of course we gotta pay rent, so money connects, but uhh

    I'd rather be broke and have a whole lot of respect

    It's the principal of it, I get a rush when I bust

    some dope lines oral, that maybe somebody'll quote

    That's what I consider real, in this field of music

    Instead of puttin brain cells to work they abuse it"

    best quote of the track, seeing as it was eventually heavily sampled for hooks/scratches into other classic songs like Big Ls - Enemy, KRS Ones - Rappaz RN Dainja, ect.

  • @eddie31003 So true, their times limited - hard knocks too....

  • Comment removed

  • 90,s the best no dout!

  • These verses relate 2 wut's goin on 2day, which is why this will ALWAYS be a classic!

  • Thee more emotion I put in it, the harder I rock!!!

  • Time's Up is a milestone in rap, ever since OC dropped this 'realness' was defined with a single event!

  • its simple bass and beat. sooo tight!

  • dope

  • The ingredients of this beat are so simple but I swear, when you drop it at a Hip-Hop jam the place explodes. One of my all time favourite tracks. OC kills it on the mic here. An all time Hip-Hop classic, great upload.

  • Fuckit, the video is fine the way it is

  • @5magyes Naw homie video was wack , but the song is a 100 percent classic

  • @delirious44 No doubt, yeah if he rereleased it he should do a new vid lol

  • LOL at 1:42 wordup, straight up and down the song still rings true today, fuckit, OC should just rerelease this as a new single, maybe just do a new video for promotion it could possibly save the game yo

  • ID RATHER BE BROKE AND HAVE RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!! U BETTER TAKE HEED TO THE GOD. MASHALLAH.

  • whats her face told me you shot the kid last week in the park/ that a lie you was at church witcha moms. hahahah

  • niacin?

  • @TheBeschikbaarheid vitamin b3

  • its like he knew where hip hop was headed 16 years ago!!!! This vid should have waaaaaaaaay more hits than 159,000.

  • You lack the minerals and vitamins

    irons and the niacin

  • Is it me or does the song describe everything about 90% of these rappers and the radio stations that exist today?

    Really good read if you're into classic Hip-Hop and real MCing

  • every where i read this comment!

  • woord...life 1994

  • damn this is real talk.

  • "I'd rather be broke and have a whole lot of respect"<---- REAL SHIIT!

  • the 6 people that dislike this video must be Drake fans

  • @kevindagame yo man drakes old stuff is good first 3 mixtapes now he sold his soul to wayne

  • @kevindagame Stop hating on the newschool.

    Sure, old school rap was better, but music changes as the years go by.

    You have to accept the fact that things change, l have, obviously you haven't.

    Drake is a good rapper, stop hating.

  • immense, no two ways about it.

  • this ish here... this ish heer' n**** was sick... he had a hit!..... "who will use their wits to be a remainder..?"

  • todays music aint got shit on the 90's

  • word life is an album that doesnt get enough credit. its up there with illmatic and ready to die as one of the greats

  • @fbzbmx09 hell yeah man that album is dope!

  • this is the battletrack from the movie "8mile" right?

  • "I get a rush when I bust some dope lines I wrote, that maybe somebody'll quote..."

    How prophetic those words are. There are so many quotes in this record alone that have been used on other people's tracks it's insane...

  • When I first heard it my sophomore year in '94, I could of swallowed my own mouth!! I immediately recognized this as an apex of REALITY rocking this world upside down. TIMELESS-MAKE-YOU-WANNA-KNOCK-­A-MUTHAFUCKA-OUT-CLASSIC!!!

  • What is Slick Rick saying in the cuts?

  • @KardiFan2000

    taken from hey young world

  • @KardiFan2000 Their time's limited, hard rocks too

    SICK

  • REAL TALK!!! REAL TALK!!! REAL TALK!!! NEW YORK 4EVA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • damn this song was before it's time

    and the album is a timeless classic

    shout outs 2 O.C.

  • OC spits the exact same realness as Nas, Black Dove, Cormega, Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, AZ, Pac, Common, Dead Prez, G. Rap, Mos Def, etc... I can't believe I'm just now bein exposed to this poetical lyricist. This came out the same year as the legendary "Illmatic" and 1 year behind "Doe Or Die". OC spits paragraphs of mysticism that causes the mind to truly think... this right here is much more relevant than 99.9% of what most successful in the industry render... somethin's gotta change.

  • A REAL MC!

  • 6 idiots gave this classic video thumbs down.That's like dissin' the sun for shining.Now before I end this comment I'll just say I miss real rap music (a vital part of hip hop).Nowadays ppl claim hip hop is dead.No hip hop is alive,RAP MUSIC is dead.Well @ least 90% of it.Infact if it wasn't for the underground stuff I would listen to nothin' but rap from 84-99.The last year rap music was legit was 99.O.C. is one of my faves,always has been.

  • @dubbsway4life Word. Underground Hip/hop nowadays, is what I crave, Rap has turned over in its grave, behave, I slay while everybody listen to lil'Wyane as if they're his slave. I busted a lil rhyme

  • tight

  • I've been an O.C. fan forever and this has always been my favorite song of his but after listening to it for about ten years I realized today that this is the best rap song ever.

  • "When the missile is aimed to blow you out of the frame, some will keep their limbs and some will be maimed" My timeless line :P

  • Classic joint

  • Im 37 and was proud to be a part of the ORIGNIAL and BEST era of the old school rap from 85 to 95

  • @Torchjob i feel you

    im 34 and i couldnt even imagine growin up now

  • @Bringlyricsback Yeah no doubt man...todays rap is incomparable to the old school...back then there was a message and a REASON for the rhyme...not the bitches-and-bling-kill-everyth­ing bullshit today.
