it's a shame how someone of my young generation gives you that weird look when you play an old school jam like this....some people just need to do like Nas said and "carry on tradition"
man all these new rappers can never compair to the underground mc,s or real hip hop all thees radio rappers orring tone rappers aint shit and ill call any of them out at anytime and battle any of them ay place any were
this takes me back to carring this tape around everywhere I went... i was 8 and couldnt afford a walkman and no matter where I saw a tape deck id want to pop it in....
every time I watch an old rap vid it makes me sad, because lil wayne is such a mumbling little speech impediment having fag, bring back old school rap please, or at least stuff that doesn't suck.
I was 13 years old when this came out. You could hear this song playing almost everyday in people cars and hear the beat for blocks. This song is the shit!
This is seriously that shit. Stanky leg is stright garbage. tHAT SHIT IS NOT RAP. IT'S POP. It's our kids that make that shit popular. To all real hip-hop heads we know what the deal is. We just got to continue to support our brothers that paved the way for them clowns... nuff respect!
good music rite here..my mom went to high skool wt him..but she neva talked to him...i dnt rlly care if ppl dnt believe me or not...my mom always use to tell me he would be wt his boombox nd shit..succs that they werent frends man loll
I remember staying up late on Fridays to catch this video. This was the video/song that hooked me on LL cuz he looked GOOOOOOD to my lil teen eyes. He really was "swanging free" in those red pants. Grown LL actually looks darn good to my 40+ eyes now, lol.
This video was da shyt. The energy he brought was killing all rappers back then. This dude on da BAD album was lyrically on the same level as Rakim. No lie. He got soft with the sucka for luv shyt and fell off.
I can remember when they thought this video was violent. Believe it or not. I know it's hard to believe but they did because he talked about crushing a person like a jellie bean, and had the police looking for him on the radio. That's why in the beginning of the video he had it looking like he was trying to rally against the mob w/the lady passing out the fliers.
