I was stationed in Kentucky when this came out. I was the only real Head in my unit with a bunch of Southern cats. They was cool, but their idea of what hip hop was did nothing for me. I used to keep the headphones popping and then cats didn't get it. Real Hip Hop.
You'll never succeed or progress, searchin for peace through material objects, you go to extremes in the process accuse others when it's you showin ya true colors.....
pete rock is amazing cl smooth too and gangstarr and dj premier cyne cise star krs one big daddy kane camp lo pharcyde brand nubian i loooooooove hip hop :)
hey yo this is a wicked beat & rhyme this true quality hip-hop at its finest this hit will slam any of these new age ish playing on your radio today!
BK, When U say we....it confuses me! U were our tour DJ.....not a contibuting member to the group. I am confused by that comment. Please help me overstand and receive clarity from your statement. Peace, Grap PS: That was what brought problems to our situation...No one wanting to play THEIR position. But, We live and we learn.....Big Up to JAH!!
When we did this video we knew it was good, because we didn't exploit women shaking their asses. But this song wasn't the Groups choice to release as a single. It was the lable. Big Shouts to Jah-T, I-Love, Polo, Grap, & Rob-O. Selah!!
Its tracks like this that make me feel hip hop has just lost its way today. The mid 90's was when hip hop it was on top of its game. There is some stuff that still comes out but you really got to dig for it. Back in the day it was front and center. I understand that the music changes with time times and that's cool I just hope that people like Pete Rock aren't forgotten. No matter where the music goes this will always be hip hop!!!!!

I remember seeing this back in 95 on Rap City and was thinking "Why is Pete Rock fucking with these niggaz?" but this shit was hard though!! this used to get mad play on Rap City and YO! back in the day
One of the greatest "BEAT MASTERS" that ever lived in this hip hop genre. The lyrical flow is right and exact as well. Props to the Master Beat Maker Pete Rock, INI, Deda and The C.L Smoooooth.
You also have samples from Dorothy Ashby "Cause I Need It" and the Mobb Deep "Give up the Goods" sample comes from Esther Phillips "That's All Right with Me"
Me...been loving hip hop since I was six years old in '78. It's great to see cats still loving when you had to have talent to get on. this joint is definitely a lost classic...

My girls are 6 and 9 yrs and when I call out "Cause brothers that fake jax ?" They respond by saying "Get laid on they backs !"
Saw Pete play in S.F. last night, got his autograph on my Japanese import of "Mecca and the Soul Brother."
A-mazing to see Pete working live.
