One Hip Hop's best Duos

[funknotik]

I love O.K.!!!

[hiphopbwwsoccer]

Hands down one of the bestalbums and songs from the 90s. So underheard and underappreciated. Hip hop isn't dead, it's just lost its soul. It used to be its own life form, but now it's like a vampire, living in the shadows.

[RWDR]

another rockwilder classic!!!!!!! big shout to the MPC 60!!!! the grind machine!!!!! was trying really hard to be on this album!!! this had to be one of the best put together albums in history!!!! ORGANIZED KONFUSION; STRESS!!!! one of the most amazing rap duos in hip hop!!!! big shout to prince po for rockin the extra snares and drops in this track!!! i wasnt that nice back then!!!! lol!!!!

[SupremeStylz]

[JayGriffinblaze]

MelloDramatic - What up! Don't get it twisted Hip Hop originated in NY but in many ways it's true form, passion, originality, individuality, heart and soul and purpose is felt more across the world in the lands it spread to. I'm British, but I've been down since Afrika Bambaataa, and it's sad to see how contemporary Hip Hop is making people forget what the culture within the music should be! London 4 Life! :)

.

[WATCHTH1S2]

Prince Poe & Monch, Organized. South Side Queens Stand Up. We had groups out before G Unit. ie Lost Boyz, Onyx. etc... but this is a good song from a ill group.

[THAHMASTER]

Five stairsteps

dont change your love

[Ucim]

Thanks for the info...

Maaaan, I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I cant believe that people in America, next to artists like this listen to Soulja boy and 50 cent...

[melloDramatic]

Thats whats up! I love it that someone from across the planet knows real hip hop better than a kid in the area it originated? Good music is good music anywhere!

[DaanOFF321]

I'm 15 yr old and from Holland.

And THIS is real hiphop.

[micline777]

very good little boy ur on the right path

[Ucim]

Who produced this album?

If you ask me its probably in top 10 rap albums ever...

[CoNTuffgong76]

Buckwild and Rockwilder I believe.

[CoNTuffgong76]

On further investigation it seems they did as well as Prince and Pharaohe.

[TheBeatMasta]

1993

[SUPEROBSCUREBEATS]

whats 1993 about it? it IS 1994 though, as i now notice i have 1995 posted.

[TheBeatMasta]

The album was released in 1994 however this song IS from 1993.... just listen to the lyrics he says it at the intro...

[CoNTuffgong76]

A lot of songs are referencing the year before the album was released because it was made in that year but no one can officially have had access to the album version until the album came out.

[dirty7thirty]

I havent heard this song in so long...this is the only song that has ever made me get glossy eyes..I was on the brink of tears. This is truely real hip-hop music.

[thelonious1]

Papa always told me..Be all you can be..And maintain..You've to maintain.

[tangeoats11]

this track means alot, its symbolizes a peroid of my life, wake up in the morning its a new problem, everyone feels that!

[CoNTuffgong76]

It's sad that these kids will never learn about good hip-hop like Organized Konfusion...unless we teach them about it.

[youssef11223344]

u GODDAMN right but nowadays they all knuckle heads they dont like listenin to REAL hip hop with deep meaningful lyrics all they listen to is club bangers and even then they're not listenin to it for the lyrics its all about beat nowadays

[CoNTuffgong76]

There's nothing wrong with dancing at the club with simplistic songs made for that, but it's when people try and act like it's meaningful music, that's when I get angry.

[maverick2215]

real talk the beats now are so trash, theirs no soul its just garbage synth beaths that sound the same kids call ryder music i guess, theres no heat, but this has an atmosphere and its just straight real.

[Throwbacc7]

Dats exatly how I feel with da beats nowadyays

[stixxandstones]

This is one of my Favorite groups of all time!! From the first album to The Equinox, they have always been ahead of there time. If you listen to "Releasing Hypnotical Gases", people still trying to catch the breathing patterns--let alone the flow itself. I advise every Emcee to check that joint out. 4ever True School! P.E.A.C.E.

[Mushroom726]

prince po's great in this song.

[sean8pens]

How about some comments that pertain to "MAINTAIN"..Everything about this song is realer than the logo on milk...Let's see souljah boy hit on these truths

[lyricallyundefined]

DAMN RIGHT!

[Mushroom726]

yeah dude, its too bad people actually agree with BS like souljaboy, hes like 15 and has no experience in making good rhymes...

the real heros are truly unknown, the public is too dumb for organized konfusion!

[sean8pens]

Yeah lets see some of these cats that got comments try to wrap their heads around O.K.'s "Releasing Hypnotical Gases"

[Mushroom726]

releasing hypnotical gases is still the shit

[goldentrophy]

On a side note since I see people are ignorant hardcore is anything that has depictions of violence and such "Stray Bullet" defines hardcore so I hope I educated aftermathnow.Hey I aint dissing hardcore I love hardcore rap just rappers need to listnen to Lord Finesse "No Gimmiks".

[aftermathnow]

hardcore.............that song addresses real issues pertaining to murders and you call it trying to be hardcore?........a little bit fucked in the head right there, buddy.

[deechillah]

Yeah dats just sum real ass shit..All hip hop muthafuckas from the streets still go through that REGAURDLESS SINCE DAY ONE..If yall can't honor that then something is wrong REAL TALK..I like how pharoahe goes into a little song riff every now and then I feel that shit

[goldentrophy]

1st off I aint your buddy and I wasn't dissing Organized Konfusion so I guess Onyx saying slam is hardcore and O-K talking about a bullet tearing through flesh isn't? your a little fucked up in the head there stranger.

[aftermathnow]

1st off stray bullet isn't a hardcore song........it's a conceptual song defining the pathway of a bullet so calling it hardcore and saying OK turned to that is absolutely retarded and to say you schooled anyone is disrespectful to actual teachers. You're obviously a giagantic moron talking out of his ass and throwing terms around like he's the one defining them.

[goldentrophy]

Yeah a whole bunch of early 90's groups turned all hardcore when they weren't before from Mc Lyte,The UMC's and Organized Konfusion they went from "Who Stole My Last Piece of Chicken" to "Stray Bullet" lol.

[deechillah]

Yeah thats just some real real ass shit..ALL hip hop muthafuackas from the streets still gotta go through that REGAURDLESS AND SINCE DAY ONE..If yall can't honor that then something is wrong REAL TALK..I like how pharaohe goes into a little song riff every now and then I feel that shit

[calvinjaramillo]

the only REAL* shit for me

[Mushroom726]

hell yeah, i love konfusion, they refuse to be called another "rap group"

because theyre not, normal rap groups try to save face and act tough but O.K's the opposite

[AlexInfa]

it's been said a grown man ain't supposed to cry..so why all these taers inside my eyes..that ol true shit!!!
