  • rob g was the man

  • The 45 KING REIGNS Supreme in HipHop HISTORY

  • Great Song

  • Getcha ass in the car ya comin wit us.....CMW One Time Gaffeled em Up!!!

  • I still have this album, but this is my 1st time watching this video!

  • He was absolutely one of my favorite of all time!! Chill Rob G was in my top 3 during the golden age of hip-hop. Lyrical genius and Ill flow to match.

    I once called Wild Pitch Records to speak to him and they actually put him on the phone. I got so nervous, all I could say was " I really love your music." He answered by thanking me. I had a demo back then, but I was too scared to ask him to hear it. One of my greatest regrets. You only get one shot in life.

  • Chill Rob Had Skillz

  • I miss the true.Happy to have been a part of it.

  • one of the best hip hop albums ever.

  • whatever happened to this guy, he should have made ten albums with the skills he presents on the mic

  • sounds just like Public Enemy. quality

  • Rappers today don't come near this.They lack creativity and can't lay down poetry like this.

  • one of the most underated mc's ever ride the rythym is a classic album he's murkin um on his third verse

  • Comment removed

  • I would record video music box on my VCR.Hook that up to my stereo and bang this shit......

  • Certified dopified!!!!

  • I love when this girl move her tits with rythm at 2.58

  • The most articulate rapper bar none

  • hard delivery, fat beats, powerful message, what is there that you can't like about old school hip-hope.

  • What raw talent! I miss this era! Chill Rob deserves more respect! Mad Memories!

  • That third verse is straight fire.

  • First 16 bars were dope by themself. If he would have just ended it there it would have still been classic. He dropped knowledge and was trying to school the knuckdle heads. He proceeds to go on and drop more concious shit for that azz. Straight dope! Intelligent and lyrical.  A true MC

  • DAMMNNNN these niggas like chill rob g, the guru(RIP) from gangstarr, and countless others will never be matched. i tell my son that i feel sorry for him to have to grow up listening to this whack straight bull-ish of today's rapper's.

  • crazy rip, outta his mind spit from the old golden age.

    wow -well underrated CRG was fo sho.

  • Man the Flava Unit was sick, him Lakim Shabazz, Apache, etc. Chill Rob looked like  a school teacher but he was so cold!!!

  • CLASSIC! SADLY SLEPT ON! DOPE!!!!

  • Holy shit, there was a VIDEO!!!! Peace.

  • TIMELESS true old school rap and hip hop. Bring back the 90's REAL underground rap styles. Chill Rob G was very underrated, and had smooth lyrics and hard hittin basslines. Today's shit is GARBAGE compared to this track.

  • THIS IS RAMZDALASTPHAROAH ROB U ORIGINAL GODBODY!!

  • "So nighty-nighty alrighty, I'm putting heads to bed, you sound tired, you're fired up over what I said" my favorite lyrics in this song.

  • awesome

  • Waaaaay ahead of his time.

  • This is real Hip HOP!!! Chill Rob G if you are reading this or if any true fan of the art form is reading this, I am certain everyone share's my sentiments. He is one of the most underrated MC's ever. The sounds as crisp as it did when I first heard it in 89. WORD!!! MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO CHILL ROB G.

  • Slammin'

  • this was the underground dude in the 90s... glad he caught that hit with I got the power!

  • No drugs sold here we aint dirty ,Polaroid in effect watch the birdy!! CLASSIC!!! R.I.P. APACHE.

  • Somebody needs to post the remix version of this...

  • EXTRA EXTRA SUPER DOPE SHIT. RIGHT PROPAH SHIT. "Put your mouth on pause put you brain in gear" Word up G. Respect to the maximum for this classic joint.

  • This is one of my favorite Hip Hop songs of all-time. I don't think I have ever heard an emcee with Chill Rob G's rhyme cadence. Check the third verse. He make two words at the beginning of almost every bar rhyme and then makes the last word of the first bar rhyme with the last word of the next bar (if that makes sense lol)! He basically does this for the whole verse with a message while utilizing high levels of vocab. I don't know if people realize how crazy that is.

  • DJ Red Alert gave this Brotha lots of airtime on his radio show on the weekends....Chill Rob G, one of Hip Hop's silent Legends. if im not mistaken, and yes i can be wrong, but DJ Mark the 45 King produced this right? Rob was part of the Flava Unit....i miss those days of Hip Hop....

  • @TheAtotheK Good ear, dude. I re-listened to the 3d verse (starts at 2:58) and you're right, that rhyme pattern is unique and intense.

    This was a golden period for hip-hop.

  • @TheAtotheK I always (subliminally) knew that that verse was the sickest of the song but I've never studied it like that. Thanks for that breakdown (from one lyricist fan to another.) Hip-hop like this NEVER dies! I still bump him on my iPhone to this day!

  • Classic tune

  • Underground Classic.

  • the name is Chill Rob, There is a good God..... this takes me waaaay back!

  • Yeah. I think I have it somewhere. Not even close to matching "Ride The Rhythm", though.

  • this is my joint right here...still play this 12" on da reg....dont care what any one else says, this is one of da baddest tunes in hip hop history...the flip to the 12" "let the words flow" made it a double banger...the chilled one n 45 king at they best....DOPE!

  • Somebody needs to post Latee "No tricks"

  • Soon as the beat hit you can't help but nod your head. Definitely a classic

  • word!!! he's fromJERSEY CITY!!!!.

  • I LOVE IT

  • I love this song it had real lyrical content. Not that auto tune over used mess. Long live classic hip hop!!!

  • This Kat is from JC...

  • No doubt "Ride The Rhythm' was one the best LP's in the 90's period!!!

  • his other shit was a lil hotter!! "freedom is priceless knowledge is twice that.."this dude used to rip it..what song was that? LET THE WORDS FLOW post that shit his hottest track by far...!!!!

  • he's a real emcee...this is what we need in Hiphop!

  • timeless shit! i love it

  • HEADZ ain't READY

  • One of my favs fo sho

  • Rob G only made this CD. I believe.!!! He had a couple of Red Alert Promos with 45king...phat shit. Other sick Promos were Chi Ali & Beatnuts, Fat Joe as well around 1990-1991. Rob G is dope!!!

  • No Doubt baby Jersey City represent...yeah he from Jerz..he went to Snyder High School. Apache was in school with him before Apache moved to Newark.

  • "Dope Noise...Treat Him like an Animal Forget he's a Man."

    Yo, that comment made me focus in on that passage, it's tight as fuck: "Snatch him off the street, drop him in the can / Chain him like an animal, forget he's a man / This might be a little raw for some to eat / But this is food for thought that I speak / If you can't stand the heat ... / I think you know the rest / This is live, not a test -- court is in session"

    BIG ups to Chill Rob G.

  • Yes, truly a classic. Rob, if you're reading this, thank you for playing your part in an era we now know as the golden age of hip-hop! I've read several interviews and came across a few stories of your personal losses during the 90s. If any of it's true, trust me, I understand why you had a hiatus. Ride the Rythym will never get old. New generations interested in true hip-hop will continue to be introduced to your articulation for many years to come. Truly an artistic gem. Thanks again!

  • great chilly classic

  • btw that dope ass drum loop is from Graham Central Station - "The Jam"

    The sax & flute is from Kool and the Gang.

    Damn it feels good to be older and to have made beats myself. i can identify close to 80% of all these obscure samples they used back in the day.

  • @bigkingsha

    I don't know about the flute, but the sax is from Soul Power 74 by Maceo Parker.

    This is a classic hip hop track, funky, with intelligent lyrics. I wonder if any of the chumps, who churn out shit by the bucketload today, ever get embarrassed when they listen to tracks like this, and realise their stuff is watered down piss, that is aimed at teenagers.

  • This was a VERY important MC. Too bad Wild Pitch fucked over their artists. 45 King and this guy were a perfect combination

  • very true! wild pitch was an asshole label but DAMN! everything about it was fresh,from the talent roster to the label's logo. all of their artists flew the coop because of it's shiesty janky buisness practices.i read somewhere that label owner stu fine had the brakes beaten off of him a few times by disgruntled artists. there was definitely a problem at wild pitch.

  • Oh yeah Wild Pitch had some pretty ill MC's. Ha ha! i remember Stu Fine. so he got beat down huh? well good enough for him. But yes Chill Rob i still rock to this day.

  • This beat was sick back in the days......still smashes most of the new shit out now.

  • I played this to death! Still got it. From the album, Ride The Rhythm. The title track is fucking brilliant but it's not on this site, downer. One of the best MCs ever..?

  • it's a pity the way the city treats the poor,i got congressmen,councilmen,tell me what are they for?..i write em letters,better...i even give em a call,but sit back,cool out in my city hall...HOT shit!he was a head of his time.

  • the lyrics dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!h­ip hop pure!!!

  • AYO...that beat was Dj Red Alerts theme music on Hot97 in 88!! Dope!!

  • Voice, Check. Lyrical content, Check. Metaphors, Vocabulary, Articulation and Delivery. Check! Make no mistake this is Emceeing of the absolute highest calibre. Chill Rob G is up there with the best of them Chuck D, KRS1, Rakim etc

  • the second most underrated mc ever lakim shabazz being first. flava unit was the greatest.

  • I totally agree.

  • Chill Rob and The D.O.C were two rappers who could have been all-time greats but for one reason or another their careers didn't work out. It's a shame too.

  • I feel you on the D.O.C was dope especially the smooth as beat the Formula

  • classic

  • I've been waiting 20 years to see this again. This one of the greatest hip hop tracks ever made.

  • o man. wow, this was one of my faves. Late eighties on Fri and Sat nights in NY was either Red Alert on 98.7 KISS or Mr Magic on 107.5 WBLS

  • and I didnt let Snap mess it up for me either. I hated Snap. I knew Chill Rob G was for real. Compared to Chill Rob G's "I got the Power" Snap's crap was a flop.

  • damn Chill Rob G rare tune

  • KICK ASS. This cut defines "lost classic."

    A true hip-hop gem.

    AS you get on your good foot, I hope that you never put / Your trust in unjust suckas who discuss / Ways of gettin' paid by criminal means / They havin' a sale, on minimal dreams

    Chill Rob G was a match for any Golden Age MC in verbal flow. Ill shit right here.

  • @classof77

    Spot on mate. This is superb.

  • Rob was so talented, what the hell happened? This was my shit...still got the record...
