[Lenchydizzle]

Sick cut. Back when fools had to actually think about lyrics. They couldn't rely on "muther f*cka" and "nig*a" or "b*tch" to fill space.

[CCCreslessCCC]

[77musica]

Bronx parks, traveling the train all 5 boroughs listening to HIP HOP, this was in the 80s when this music was not discovered yet and was raw and pure, whites got involved and fucked it up just like they took control of the BLUES and JAZZ.

[six0music]

I miss hip hop like this. Todays shit is beyond wacc save a few. Thats why todays local hip hop stations get no play in my house. @str8outtatexas.....well put, much respect to you.

[whatthehellvideos]

[GenoBoss]

STEEZO WAS GETTIN' IT DANCING IN THE BACKGROUND!!!

[J4s0n3r]

[ChillyChillBrooknam9]

[j2thar1st]

If you don't even know what EPMD Stands for then you clearly were too young to know the true pioneers of rap duos......if you're hear diggin the track then sit back and listen to the Sounds of Eric and Parish Makin Dollars :-)

[darkkent3000]

[DaveDProphet]

OldSchool>NewSchool

[joesolese]

Hip Hop died along time ago and their is no such thing as Hip Hop now. Oh yeah they have this thing called Underground but it's not the same son. Artists now who say they are Hip Hop blow like Monica Lewinsky. They do an awful job. All I can do is go back and Thank God I was a witness!!!!

[4honeycherryblossom4]

Best backup dancers EVER!!!!

[SHGlover007]

@4honeycherryblossom4 The guy wearing the all yellow was putting his thing down!! LMAO

[Averde8]

[ColdOasisU2]

their use of samples was and still is creative

[bonamus]

I'm the p double e m d e e and one thing i hate is a biting MC. When i enter the party sucker always for a line then the ease their way up and try to bite my lines. That was the super shit.

[blazn1981]

Lets not forget "Jungle Boogie"

[EASTBAYRAIDER74]

THIS SONG WAS AND IS THE SLAP! WHOEVER HATES ON EPMD IS IGNORANT!!!

[FrenchToastIsBomb]

erick sermon's flow sounds so crisp...take notes wack rappers.

[jwh1999]

[eleesmith]

[broaddusmarines]

This track will still be hot after we are all dead and gone.

[eatkosherbacon]

Sad to say, if EPMD didn't exist back then, and tried to break out in the industry now, they'd never get a record deal for not being pretty enough.

[daroyalgeneral]

I'm letting my 11yr. old son listen to this. WOW!!

[gys2gether]

This is real music. When this music rocked there was love. We lived in communities not hoods. The neighborhood dj would get his turn tables, hook them up to the street light and everybody would come out and rock out. No violence, no bullshit, just people getting together and enjoying music. Crews would come and compete with each other by seeing which crew could dance the best, not who could bust their gun. Sadly, this era has gone by, and with our sense of self-worth and community.

[CRAZYDEVIL109]

i was reading two of the top comments saying that there was substance i grew up in this time and i'll take all of this over most of that but don't forget that we grew up in the era of the don't talk about it do it so when they talking about ish these dudes really had to get there's no security involved they held they own hammers didn't eric sermon get parrish robbed cause he didn't like the way the contract was set up and then we got def squad cause they broke up

[EwaY83]

"Relax your mind, let your conscience be free

and get down to the sounds of EPMD"

[SoloTeam03]

I came to a conclusion we been had by these new artist always coming with some gimmick!! $1million on videos, auto tunes, half naked chicks in the videos. These dudes take it back to the park benches in the neighborhoods. It u can't respect this I don't respect you! Simple & plain!

[CAM8689]

[rockport1109]

[scinnyc]

In '98 i bought the whole Strictly Business album just because of this song. my friends thought i was crazy for buyin that album 10 years after it came out but i loved it. This was and still is one of my all time favorite hip hop tracks. Not to mention that they sampled one of my favorite old school songs. u guys should check out my channel and see my take on this beat, westcoast style! it's a super produced/super sampled master piece

[fordxbgtfalcon]

damn! this was back when mtv showed music video's! that was a long long time ago....

[tinoman2]

i found the last command,it says go klllyoselfs,that was the last message from heaven......

88 tha year hip hop broke nothing stupid no chop and screw everything crispy

[honeegrrl]

I remember when I first heard this, I thought they were from the West Coast and when I saw them I was like wow, they don't look anything like they sound.

[str8outtatexas1]

I wanna give a shot out to big sean,oj da juiceman,T.I.,waka flocka,lil wayne,plies,gucci mane,kanye west,whiz khalif,j.cole,drake,wale,ace hood, and any other pre-school,no rapping,whack ass,industry controlled,materialistic,comme­rcialized, mickey mouse rapping motherfuckers, this is HIP-HOP. Take the time out just to see if you here any words in this song like bitches,ho's,niggas,motherfuck­er,dick,shit, or talk about money,houses,beef,guns,ect. Hell no! because they knew what SUBSTANCE is.

[MrDansMusic]

@str8outtatexas1 TI and Wale used to be real :/ I truly wish they still were.

[MrSantiagoandDunbar]

@str8outtatexas1 "pack a 9 in my pants when its time to go"

look, they talked about guns. fucking idiot.

[str8outtatexas1]

@MrSantiagoandDunbar _Stick to salsa & reggaeton because you have NO clue or knowledge on what the fuck I'm talking about you mindless drone. There is No fucking comparison amigo.

[Dante95nyc]

@str8outtatexas1 Have you even heard a J.Cole song? J.Cole is sick and so is Wale and T.I.. Everybody else I pretty much agree with you.

[1227weaverb]

@Dante95nyc T.I. not good anymore. he used to be dope.

[LovelyLA100]

@1227weaverb - Please tell me how TI is not dope anymore? Sound like a hater who sh*ts on people when they become super successful. You want TI to continue rapping like he did back in 2001 when he was like 20. Dude is 30 now w/ hella kids, a wife, hella millions. Are you doing the same ish you were doing 10 years. Given your hating, I bet you are.

[1227weaverb]

@LovelyLA100 You sound like a dickrider. I was just stating my opinion.

[UndergroundJazzA]

@LovelyLA100 If back in the days you call a wack MC wack it was ok,now if you do so people considered you as a hater.TI not even an MC.Commercial garbage.PEACE.

[chocolatepearl69]

@UndergroundJazzA Dis good shit!!!!

[verdaya09]

@str8outtatexas1 you are a hater! wow man you just hate on all the new dudes making paper? The fuck outta here dont come on this CLASSIC song crying

[str8outtatexas1]

@verdaya09 YOU STUPID, uneducated,brainwashed drone, Why in the hell am I hating on garbage ass music? I don't know any of these cats personally, so I have NO impact on what the fuck they do in life or their money. I making a statement about music you dumb ass. You don't know shit about old school & never will because you've been mechanically fist fucked by an industry that know's your weakness & desire to glorify the most meaningless shit for materialistic clowns like you. Yeah i'm wrong LOL!

[Angel2WIN]

@str8outtatexas1 "because you've been mechanically fist fucked by an industry that know's your weakness & desire to glorify the most meaningless shit"

That's a bi**h slap of truth right there! Thumbs up!

[LATiNALOkA8]

@str8outtatexas1 hahahaha!! daaamn you roasted his ass!!! XD

[jdubgboro]

@str8outtatexas1 Well put!!! I know everything about the old school....AKA real hip hop. Just ask! I'll tell you and then explain because you probably dropped out!

[lumby]

@str8outtatexas1 I love the way you wrote your comment

[TetrapakProdzekt]

@str8outtatexas1 tell them my brother, tell the truth !

[Evile9669]

@str8outtatexas1 damn right man...these young bucks think Justin beiber is rap .. they dont know shit about ol school man . I had shit on albums from juice crew Grandmaster flash Whodini to the Trechorous 3 . to me shit like little wayne cant touch the golden era of hiphop

[randomwhiteguy8784]

@str8outtatexas1 You are exactly right these days it's about the money not the message. They never had to struggle like these guys it's a different time and place then it was back then. No one is angry anymore and if they are it is over some bullshit.

[MouseArgueta23]

@str8outtatexas1 u forgot eminem

[UndergroundJazzA]

[xXkHaTiRiXx]

[sambam2694]

@xXkHaTiRiXx You do realise this song was made way before B.I.G. Idiot

[xXkHaTiRiXx]

@sambam2694 if u could read IDIOT ud see i said BIG sampled it...

[bktodc]

@xXkHaTiRiXx I think the sampled track was "More Bounce to the Ounce" by Zapp, which Erick Sermon and and BIG sampled.

[xXkHaTiRiXx]

@bktodc oh right thanks man

[BoxingChaos2011]

@bktodc Yes this is More Bounce. And the HORNS sample is from Kool And The Gang - song name "Jungle Boogie" if you pay attention when they play the horns, they say JUNGLE, Jungle Boogie.

[DA12inchTONY]

@xXkHaTiRiXx yup

[RudeCustoms]

There's just something about the base beat of this song. You just can't get tired of it. (Hitting "Replay" again again again)

[gothamjediknight]
