[MrTrebsy18]

Conrad: (Talking to U-Turn on the phone) "Yo what's up... Man you comin' in real time or you comin' in black people time?.... Alright, we be here." LOL

[mrbighappy17]

still true till this day

[IceManLikeGervin]

Klassic dope track with a positive relevant meaning all these years later from the College Boyz.

The baphomet sponsored Hollyweird is still turning people's souls out in exchange for the empty promises of fame, wealth & a name.

[StreetballAttitude]

rappin about hollywood but then bein part of it is kinda paradox dont you think?

[StreetballAttitude]

now i know where i remember this beat of its masta ace - the i. n. c. ride

[gotjuice9]

He also played MC Hammer in the made for VH1 movie.

[MrChr1st0pher1]

that's my dude from weeds conrad. woooooow the Cross Colours gear. Damn I miss the 90's if your not from this era you haven't witnessed REAL hip hop period.

[tye350]

@sportjames/every1 @ least he didnt get sucked in 2 the HOLLYWOOD PARADOXX like most people who have dreams of stardom..never wud have thought th@ video wud have an effect on me after 19yrs..the yung lady reminds me of some 1 i knew..i think i saw her in a tv commercial recently..

[bcentrallaurel1710]

This is the dude who was in 40 Year Old Virgin, clearly he fell prey to the Hollywood Paradox!

[jaytee315]

i had this on tape!!! victim of the ghetto! who would of thought he'd become an actor???? too funny!

[colahondax11]

I'am from Poland, I love this music !!!!!!!!!!!!

[paddywib]

love this song if not just for the irony alone!

[XealotMusic]

@paddywib thanks for the Love, much love to the fam in Poland!

[DaNewJack2009]

I had the cd of the College Boyz,,,,there only two of them that is still doin somethin today,,that Romany Malco of The 40 year Old Virgin,Weeds,,and No Ordinary Family etc. and Dj Clue

[rich524]

Damn I was nine... But that shit nice and rugg'ed

[JudeFawley666]

THE REAL RAP!!! RAP'S DEAD SINCE COOLIO GANGSTA'S PARADISE.... REST IN PEACE!

[ufearray]

@JudeFawley666 u must be an older gentlemen, that song came out when i was about 5

[JudeFawley666]

@ufearray

I was 15 back then... Yeah, I might be kinda old, haha. I still say: Rap's dead since the middle of the '90s. College Boyz are one of the true, authentic hip-hop heros...

[XealotMusic]

@JudeFawley666 thanks 4 dat college boyz love!

[groove2227721]

and she's waitin' at the same damn bus stop. she fell pray to the hollywood paradox.

[XealotMusic]

@groove2227721 no doubt!

[1hungtomahawk]

i always said this dude would make a good actor for the tupac bio!!!! listen to the voice!!!

[capricornking560]

Big Ups 4 This Upload!!! I Grew Up Bumping These Cats!!

[descrates09]

"Waxing dont hurt, unless your a bitch'

[gropegrape]

ain't that my man from 40 year old virgin

[peewee1968able]

what now boyyyyy

[Nichiel]

yep. started as rappin - first name for group was RMG named for the last names of the members and then moved from Baytown Texas to L.A. and changed the name to the College Boyz. Did pretty well and then Rom got into acting. Big ups Rom, Squeaky and Curtis!

[cantinerosmc]

40 year old virgin and blades of glory, guess he fell prey to the hollywood paradox lol

[irishkayo]

This is some old school shit. I was barely in elementary school. ...

[Israeli3030]

conrad!

[chicahua87]

@Israeli3030 I love Conrad!

[74arron]

the isley brothers..for the love of you

[74arron]

the sample is for the love of you by the isley brothers

[1BalkanBeat1]

whats the sample ?

[1BalkanBeat1]

Hes my new favourite actor and singer ....soo classic

[leafsboy101]

Man when is R.O.M goin back to weeds the show is shit without him

[stefjay1972]

@leafsboy101 I was wondering why in the world did they take him off the show? I've really haven't been watching it. He's on abc now on this show called no ordinary family.

[leafsboy101]

@stefjay1972

sweet thanks I just watched the show

[stefjay1972]

@leafsboy101 you're welcome. He's really shown that he has another talent besides rapping. Some rappers just need to stick to rapping, but this boy can act. They relocated the family on weeds and I guess decided not to take the black people with them. And I haven't been in tuned in awhile. If it wasn't for Dexter I'd probably cancel my subscription to show time.

[SexxyRedEnt]

Get the hell outta here!!!I used to love them back in the day.....and are just now seeing this video for the 1st time in 15 years dayum near and had nooooo idea that was Roman Malco!! LOL!!!

[operabitch77]

hot beat...better used by tupac but nice beat never the less...ROM is crazy

[pobbisqawbi]

@operabitch77 Better used by the Isley Brothers... ;)

[JheriCurlJankins]

Every time I see Romany Malco in a new movie or TV show, I think about this song and say to myself "This nigga didn't take his own advice...... he straight went Hollywood!" LOL! Naw, but anyway, I'm glad to see my nigga doing big thangs! I remember bumping "Radio Fusion Radio" back when I was in high school when I got my first car.

[23Chris74]

Holy shit I never knew that, even after watching the video again I didn't stop to think that he looks familiar. I had a friend growing up that looked like this dude and always thought of him when I saw the video. That's trippy.

[colahondax11]

Tru

[ttjakt]

Old School classic!!

[reesie97]

This was my boy shit back in the day. I love this isley brothers sample.

[brotherhood302]

Yeah, the lead vocalist is Romany Malco....a fine actor!!

[ghandilord98]

I used to go to chabot with Raven The Producer Back in the 80 dekka, he used to bring his crates to the class room and I would tell him what to sample.

[snooks864]

I used to love this song. It was very deep, and concrete. Didn't even realize that is the same dude from 40 year old virgin.

[trooperjoe73]

Classic! Love this song and the entire album! Good times!

[RichyJA]

lol he looks the same, rollin 20s who fucc dwarfs

[lvn4life]

[mixmaster676]

[FioriBen]

[IRON5]

[dj4monie]

[IRON5]

[Inspirmentalist]

[dj4monie]

@flamethagodd Say hi to being under30

[Drastoe88]

I like how this foo is an actor now.!!

hahahha!

fuckit..!!

Hollywood Paradox huh..!!

[Mackadoeshez]

This video is so on point to the destructive spiritual nature of Hollywood.

Los Angeles the City of (fallen) angels who still wished to be viewed as (movie) stars.

Holly Tree, Holly Wood- look up the pagan origins of and who used it for what.

[michaelwix]

tupac twin

[linopanama1]

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL KLASSIK good memories

[mykalroze]

I wonder if Romany Malco would be a good choice to play Tupac in a biopic.

[ImagesbyJoy]

good idea :)

[biggtazz]

Hey can't. He already played MC HAMMER and Tupac was played by Lamont Bentley (Moesha) in the that Hammer story.

[mykalroze]

Don't see why that matters. Perhaps an explanation of your statement is in order? Besides, that MC Hammer movie was a TV movie.

[Infamous256]

The first rapper in the vid is from the show Weeds and 40 year old virgin.

[BewareOfTheDoggz]

No shit it says it in the info section

[truestabluesta]

yo stop frontin and use ya head

[DANKMADE]

Man, this is the CUT! I got this the day it came out just cause it looked good, and this song has stuck with me ever since.

[Ollahs1]

Hollywood is not all that I don't know why people think its a big deal the actors are druggies, alcoholics and sluts

[Greenfinger187]

heeee

i know 2 pac had spittin on this beat ,but what the fuck

who was first ??

[DLCOrganization]

So many things come together about this track.

1) They didn't push THIS single as they did their debut single "Victim Of The Ghetto" (probably on coincidence considering how terrifying real and sad the content is). And so, being the underground advocate I was (and still am), I snatched up the single out of curiosity. It was one of the VERY FIRST singles released after Virgin's acquisition by EMI. And so, this is my VERY FIRST TIME seeing this video.

(To Be Continued)

> Professor DLC

[DLCOrganization]

2) To me, "Hollywood Paradox" (one of the first songs to sample "For The Love Of You" -- probably THE first), is WAY better than "Victim Of The Ghetto". I have so many memories of when I was making "fat tapes" for myself with this track making the second or third one.

3) I KNEW when I saw Malco recently (most specifically, when I saw his portrayal of MC Hammer in a TV movie -- he favors him BAD) that I knew him from somewhere. Who would have thought the COLLEGE BOYZ?

> Professor DLC

[marselus88]

fuckin' underrated! who also made track with this sample? can't remember..

[mxserr]

hell yeah this the kid from 40yr virgin.he also played mc hammer in the vh1 movie too.

[ratm1211]

Squeaky d from the College Boyz produced a song for Chali 2na back in 93'. Check it out, its called Chali 2na - Raise Up (live at the Good Life)

[Quartier2Mtl]

hollywood paradox came out in 92

[ratm1211]

What does that have to do with squeaky D producing a song for Chali in 93?

[GR8WHITEC5]

I got their first cassette College Boyz. Green cover? Packed away. I used to jam to this in Berlin, Germany in the 90s and no one ever heard of them.

Good old school

[sixedheart]

I've been trying to find this video forEVERRR. Thank you! I can't believe it's Romy...

[youngjaz13]

me 2

[uchenna3]

I couldnt put my finger on it when I saw him in 40 year old virgin I knew he looked familiar and i just so happen to google College Boyz and it hit me......I still love this song. This was a summer 92 banger.

[locyka19]

much better in storytelling than victim of the ghetto.

[blasebabey]

so ironic his profession now.... hahaha

[cuhills]

I was thinkin about the College Boyz and how the black guy in the 40yr Old Virgin looked like him--it is him!! Haha! I'm happy 4 him. He's cute too. I had just got out of hi school (c/o '90), fun times!!

[UdoShan]

Damn, that IS him!!! You ain't never lied!!

lol

[sportjames23]

@cuhills

LOL, same here. I seen Romany in a few movies and I was like, "Yo, this cat looks familiar. I know I seen him somewhere outside of movies." It wasn't until recently that I found out he was dude from The College Boyz. I remember them brothas from the early 90s.

[sazonada]

@cuhills It IS him! Romany Malco. WOW!

[locyka19]

the one who rapping is R.O.M.?

[purplegangsta]

Drifting on a Memory by the Isley Brothers

[ILoveEmilee]

You mean "For The Love Of You" by the Isley Brothers.

[coreyaustin1]

Yes It's a sample from the Isley Brothers, many rappers used it. I always loved thi song, College Boyz were so underrated. I loved that first album "Radio Fusion Radio"

[poodie33]

Oh my God, that's the black dude from 40 year old virgin, I knew I had seen him somewhere before.

[windowofopp]

[Cabezon83]

[ILoveEmilee]

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Thank, you A great classic tape.

[watcherdev]

I also like the lyrics and what hes talking about. Nice song.

[gregoryp216]

Decent beat, not that bad. I miss this song.

[woot81]

lil ric has taken this beat in one of his songs same with ed lover he took this beat in one of his rap songs

[watcherdev]

the sample is from the isley brothers. a great group. I believe the song is called "living for the love of you"...at least thats part of the lyrics...lol

[JjM91084]

does any1 know if tupac sampled this song to "bury me a G" on his resurrection cd? It's so weird that that is one of mah favorite songs on that cd and i find out that it's sampled off of romany. I didn't even know the dude from 40 year old virgin rapped. I was just lookin him up and said he was a top selling rap artist in the early 90's. But is this sampled from some1 before or is this the original?

[ogkiller88]

yea dude this is original. they took this sample and put it in "bury me a G". i also know that 2pacs song "Staring Through My Rear View" have a sample of "In The Air Tonight" made by Collins Phil. but still... no matter what, 2pac is and will always be a LEGEND! we miss him all! RIP

[ronmexicocity]

isley brothers - for the love of you

[pennyrecords]

the most slept on album of the early 90's. It got suck up with the hype of the classic album the chronic on the west coast. I was on this before I seen him on weeds, 40 year old virgin, or any of that other shit. I would like one more CD from the college boyz. RADIO FUSION RADIO FOR LIFE

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Thank you. I'm from the East Coast and I copped this tape after I saw them freestyle on Arsenio Hall and I loved it eversince. They should have went platnium and got more airplay and exposure.

[pennyrecords]

no doubt someone who knows about classic hip hop. I heard a funny christmas track on myspace/music search for Penny Records presents Russ da Legend. Holiday Pimpin

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Really? I'm gotta check it out. I love all types of music and I feel that if the music is good than it shouldn't matter what city you're from.

[ILoveEmilee]

Real Hip Hop/Rap Music!!!!!!!!!!!

[ADO300]

did they drop eny album ?

[woot81]

ed lover used this beat in one of his songs same with Lil Ric-Ride with me i think its the name

[yeahifnsaidit]

Aim high, Willis.

[chroniccomics5]

This album had 4 dope tracks. I thought the rest of the album was kinda whack.

[lamons1975]

[pennyrecords]

My cousin had this album when it came out in '92 the most slept on album in hip hop. RadioFusion Radio forever.

[rollituphomie]

[clickidyclack]

Hahaha..he does look EXACTLY the same.

On the audio commentary for '40 Year Old Virgin' he breaks down a little history of the group.

[TheGreatMozeek]

Cool. It's that Dance instructor from

"BLADES OF GLORY." LOL

[ErrolBarnes]

WTF? this shit is 15 years old and he hasn't aged a day .. LOL

[kotasac]

masta ace - inc ride

[jmarriottc]

Romany Malco is awesome, College Boyz has be sampled by two of the greatest rapper of our time Nas and Tupac...plus he's funny as hell and The Pest soundtrack kicked all kinds of ass just this song is kinda ironic.

[dirtyhen]

Damn, College Boyz. I still remember this one. Timeless...

[Krisando]

Nice song and flow, didn't know tupac used this tune frm them. Far 90's best

[taibaby007]

thanks 4 putting this video up i used 2 luv this song 2 def ive been wanting 2 c it brought back alot of memories

[nabilster]

Yo! MTV Raps dayz...

[thelonious1]

I remember when Video Jukebox played this constantly. There was a lot of truth in this song. The last verse killed me though:

"Living like an Oreo, riding on the white man's dick."

I hope he doesn't fall into the paradox.

[jiranjiran]

thelonious1

Wow... it's heavy.

but it's true.

[rcw819]

Mann This Cat Man Conrad He is the shit man went from a rapper to a Weed Chemist to being the 40 year old verson man what it do

[JTriumf]

It's kinda funny how this guy raps directly about the troubles of Hollywood, and now he's a successful part of Hollywood. He's certainly come a long way.

[Hadiono34]

WOW, this 1 give me the chill, thx 4 posting this, gives me some serious flash-backs of the 90's. I've searched 4 this many times but was not able to find it. BIG PROPS PARTNA!!!

[Infamous256]

Damn i remember this group, but i had no idea that this is the guy from the show "Weeds"

[icecoldbruh]

[bjazz80]

this is really crazy.. I have been looking for this song for a long time and yet never realized Romany Malco was in this group,,, man thats crazy
