[oldschoolbx1970]

This is real shit right here. Fuck Puffy. Fuck Soulja Boy. In fact,fuck all of those sell out clown ass motherfuckers out there. They ain't shit.

[Amir3793]

Am I the only person who thinks this video, as great as it is, is a bit sexist?

[MCofdaNite]

@BorvoeMcMidnite

[SexxyChynaD]

ok here's my story me and my bro were watching old videos of def comedy jam and i heard this in the background as dj capri played it as a intro and i went GOTTA LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE lol god i miss the 90s

[chosendave]

This is great. Real music. And credit for sampling "San Francisco Lights" by Bobbi Humphrey. Real recognises real I guess!

[RCBIFE]

Damn this brought back some great memories. This was the Golden Era of Hip Hop indeed.

[rballard27]

Since I became a man, I keep my tongue out my mouth, I enjoy going down south. I was a kid when this song came out. Going down was disgusting! How some things change when you grow up. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time!

[KINGSED99]

The chick in this video looks like Joy Bryant?

[CAMERONDELORIS]

[bigdaddy45able]

This song is very sexist,nothing nice about females is being said here.I like the beat though,Brand Nubian is still a good group.

[angelinajoanie]

[KeepItWessin]

Classic!!! One of my fav rap songs ever!!!

[spiderman759182]

Dam talk about takin it back. How many rappers these days is talking about shyt like this.

[astrogliding]

[J6ck7ripper]

Wow is that Mary J. on the singing sample? I just realized that.

[astrogliding]

@J6ck7ripper i been wondering that since i was high school LOL...

[papasha9]

Peace to 7ods  dealin with the science of the weak cipher man 12/1

[28hotrods]

Lets all understand that its 2010 and the term the word and the sounds of hip hop has been long gone,i dont listen to 95% of the BS today,im 32 and when i was a teenager in the 90s and social life revoled around hip hop and rap music, rest in peace REAL HIP HOP,early 1980s to late 1990s

[samona45]

This hip-hop in its pourest form brand nubian kept a brother focused

[ministryofsumthing]

sorry i have to disagree w/ sadat

i don't keep my tongue in my mouth

eating chics out is just as great as getting head

[Truer22]

[supernamic]

hopefully videos like these posted can show these youngsters that nowadays the standard of hip hop has been drastically lowered! i do feel sorry for todays generation because they dont know how to reconize garbage, making solja boy and waka faggot filthy rich! they are a disgrace to this craft!

[robby4432]

[jhnevans751]

yo, Brand Nubian were one of the groups interviewed for the book "HOW TO RA P: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC"

Definitely check that out if you're a fan of classic Hip-Hop, they interview loads of classic groups and MCs in there and they drop tons of knowledge and history

[nickatnite1995]

@brak215 for real. im not even 20 but i know whats up with hip hop

[blackadam06]

I'm sorry kids, but if U missed the 1985-93, U missed the Golden Era of Hip Hop and I feel really sorry for U.

Creativity, originality & artistry = Golden Era of Hip Hop

Corporate created popularity - skills & originality = today's rap music

[youreallshit]

@blackadam06 how did we miss it? we're watching it now aren't we...

[blackadam06]

@youreallshit

If U believe that, you're obviously dumber than that comment is..

[dcollegeboy]

@blackadam06 I'm 21 and I couldn't agree more. I hate it when people act like Lil' Wayne is a rap god. They have no idea what they've missed...

[sbgal13]

@blackadam06 yup i deffff missed it. I feel too out of place with today's pop and sing songy "hip hop"

[BUTTA170]

@blackadam06 i couldnt have said it better myself!!!

[MeMeQueens]

My jam!

[VanillaNicey]

brings back so many memories....

[jaynegs76]

LOVE THE 90'S, LOVE THE BEAT...NOW RULE BABY!!!

[johnjnukemsheridan]

Ahhh, when beats were beats.... :OD

[Division1985]

I ain't down for a honey who don't wanna submit

Always throwin a fit, wanna talk a lot of sh*t..Word.

[siloe103]

da daa DUUM, but you can call me X-MAN...

[Boogers4dinner]

This video makes me wanna look for some dime pieces. Not just honeys...but Dime Pieces!

[nickatnite1995]

@grisson1 that song fucking blows, you cant even compare the two. he has the same flow as everybody else in the game nowadays. that beat and that flow are cookie cutter. the beat was made on a computer with shitty, generic, downloadable drums, whereas when this song came out you couldnt download drums. most everything was sampled which is how it should be, and sadat's and jamar's flows are untouchable. come back when your arent ignint

[Brak215]

@nickatnite1995 Ha ha, he said ignint.....these fukin young bouls dont know nuffin bout nuffin

[MrPecoso1974]

back when shit was phat

[grisson1]

Nice beat, havent heard it in years but nothin worth cryin over *cough**cough* kremeroxoner lmao

[FatKev757]

@tiana the song she sang the hook on was FATHER MC, ILL DO 4 U

[zithamia11]

I heard This song before,,but i really like this video,,it's cool,,

[tiana1017]

ahh damn i so missed the 90's =(

[james101778]

mary j blige is a beast

[sketcha09]

Mary J. Blige was singing a lot of hooks back then.

[tiana1017]

@sketcha09 @sketcha09 I never knew that was Mary singing background for this song lol, Ive learned a few yrs ago she also sang back up for I can do for you that one song by i forgot his name

[sketcha09]

@tiana1017 She sang quite a lot, but for mostly Father MC. One Nite Stand is another example.

[tiana1017]

@sketcha09 thanks, I had forgotten his name

[mokahquincy71]

I've been looking for this video for a longtime on youtube, I'm glad someone finally posted it.

[Conduit13C]

"quick to claim my name and my fame..." miss the days when hip hop was true.

[djugly]

[karma10158]

[minem5]

[yhustle14]

You gotta understand ima man with needs that needs fulfilling.and if you aint with it somebody else is willing, you gotta love me or leave me alone. REAL TALK I DIGGS THIS

[TheGeneralMoe]

[gtroddy]

@craigisangry who you think singing in the background?

[weveseenit]

@gtroddy i thought it sounded like tevin campbell, i just read somebody said it was Mary. Anybody got the tape cover with the credits?

[F4billionyearzag0]

Classic shit!

[MARTEZB1]

THIS IS WHEN HIP HOP WASNT HIP POP!!

[clarkkent502]

@MARTEZB1 right

[BloodyNine007]

@MARTEZB1 True when rap wasn't crap!

[browngal1709]

Man i used to have a crush on Lord Al Jamal! with his fine ass!

[feistychick70]

Arguing days, after days, after days.....

[ThaRealestGyrl]

That's Mary J Blige in the background. She used this same sample at the end of All That I Can Say.

[clarkkent502]

@ThaRealestGyrl that's really Mary in the background? it sounds like a dude but wow I loved this song to this day real shit never knew that was Mary

[weveseenit]

@clarkkent502 i thought it was a guy too - loved the hook, so well done Mary.

[SoSeductive1981]

Is it my imagination or is that Mary J. Blige singing the hook? I miss this type of hip hop where creativity meant credibility, not using a formula for success

[MzPalmore]

THANK U FOR POSTING /NEED IT LIKE WATER

[gtroddy]

Brand Nubian ft Tevin Campbell. Listen as 1) The melody just makes love to your ears. 2) Tevin flows in harmony. 3) Brand Nubian rides this beat like a cowboy riding a bucking bull. YOOOOOOOO WHERE THE FAWK HAS REAL MUSIC GONE?????

[keneisha1119]

@wutc yes he did play in oz

[wutc36]

Heard this song in junior high. wish this style of rap was played more on the radio.Does anybody know if the rapper Jamar(with braids in red jacket)is the same actor on that show OZ who played the Alliah Supreme character? They had a lot of rappers appear on it.

[anice121]

@wutc36 yeah thats him kid lol

[wutc36]

Thanks for telling...Didn't like how his character was taken off the show.

[anice121]

me neither kid but..... minority characters usually get the buisness as such

[soulking112]

dope!

[Reseliance]

how my man rick say it, i shouldnt of done it.,.,.,.,.,

[toroahead10]

This song, still to this day, reminds women of the sensitivity of a man and how in an era of the "HO",woman should be more considerate of a mans feelings, plus understand that your not suppose to bite!!

[liquidhot9]

I so agree with you except we live in an age where young boys grow up to grown males--not men.

[FightMang36]

hot song beat is ill!!!

[nemesis25rdfl]

@ evlladychris. the mental pic is funny as hell LMAO

[evlladychris1]

yoooo nemesis if you would have slapped anything out of my hand....I would have slapped you in the face with my titty LMFAO

[nemesis25rdfl]

@ 2:32 I wouldn't let her put the cigar in my face, that would have pissed me off lol.

I would be putting that shit on her face LMAO. I would have slapped it out of her hands like "WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOING"

I don't know I just thought that looked homo. I never noticed that in the video when I was younger.

It's cracking me up :D

[CLOVEONE1]

MEMORIES!!!

[eboone1977]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG I didnt realize I remembered all of the words HIP HOP IS DEAD :(

[NinoBrown23]

this beat was dope whether its the edited or unedited version.

One question I always wondered:

When he says, "Bring forth the seed created in the night." Is he referring to actually impregnating a girl? If so, thats the first rap song I heard where a rapper actually wants to make a baby. The 2nd closest would be "Lots of Lovin" by Pete Rock/CL Smooth

[60TO64]

Well according to my understanding the answer is yes. I'm a check out "Lots of Lovin" and while I'm at it check ED OG "Be a Father to your child"

[kremeroxoner]

I can hardly describe to anyone the feelings and extreme grace this recording invokes .I apologize in advance, because after I finish replying,I'm almost certain I'll listen again,and(trust a born and bred graf writer/emcee/breaker/TRUE HEART)I'll cry...............I'm an infatuation junky who forever will be searching for the perfect beat...............OFF THE THE STRENGTH OF THIS TUNE(and it's a monster!!!!!)and that which is called "hip hop"I LOVE YOU......PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[grisson1]

@kremeroxoner Dude if you want to hear a more modern song, but a similar beat to this look up "So G.O.O.D" by Big Sean

[tyrll4prsdnt]

@kremeroxoner I feel you fam, Born and raised in the bronx, during the late 70's and early 80's, RIGHT through to the early 90's. RIP to all the Graf writers I looked up to Maze5, Sin7, Roleo,Cope, Blaze and all the others from the 180 train yards in the X!

[trevmack]

@kremeroxoner MY friend, you just said a muthacufflikin mouthful!!!

[glennadelaware66]

@kremeroxoner -your comment was a beast...got the right expression for this song! G

[TheVicV]

@kremeroxoner I feel you Krem and I concur! So funny how 5 years later, the R&B group "NEXT" tried to use this beat for their song "Stop, Drop and Roll" and although their song was cool, it never came close to this 93 Brand Nubian classic.

[MyDormantSoul]

@kremeroxoner want a fuckin good instrumental? Carry me home - Atmosphere

[aaronvleedsman]

the classics straight up

[kremeroxoner]

IM GONNA CRY!!!!!!
