[81carlos]

Those were the laid back days of Hip Hop. Big Daddy Kane, Hi C, 3X Dope, Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep and others were part of the New School Era back then. Kids nowadays need to go back to school as far as Hip Hop goes.

[SonicBoom441]

[ToneWest187um]

I still own the original 12in Vinyl copy...I wonder how much funky dividends It's worth!!

The Lamborghini mirrors on the 5.0 were dope. So dope that I put some on my first car, a 1976 Chevrolet Nova. Sweeeeet!!!

[SuperAllday]

PEEP THE FRESH GUMBY

[giuseppelobrutto]

[southpaw2k1]

[giuseppelobrutto]

[giuseppelobrutto]

better than most of the BS on heavy rotation today...

[atl2maryland]

It's crazy... this song is prophetic in a way... because since then materialism has gotten worse.. especially in our music. They need to play this song 50 times straight on BET until everybody gets it and wakes up.

[D33veeoss]

@atl2maryland This world is moving in a direction. That's non negotiable. Playing this 50 times a day would do the sum total of JACK SHIT.

[mceihtfane]

[GiantGemini]

The Gumby!

[DAZ4323]

Come on man this is the shit! I remember riding in my Grand Am in '90's bumping this song here. EST the most under rated mc that was out then, but he held his own wit the big dogs, form him to spit all them bars by himself the way he did you tell me who had the lyrics to put it down!

Classic joint.

[Pirate7X]

"...so go on ahead with ya jheri curl..."

Some of the most sublimely & subtly poinant lyrics in dealing with relationships.

"I refuse

to abuse

my savings & loans,

so if want some ends baby,

best go on your own..."

[kingofdaundaworld]

Look how slick they dissed Steady B...lol.

[newyorkowner]

[Iwilldoyes]

[buchanan72]

Actually, Cool C received the death penalty. He was suppose to be executed last year but received a stay. Now look at the dough the rappers make for the crap they put out today.

[rdub520]

Biggups to real hip-hop

[donwill70301]

I wonder what kinda drum machine dude is tappin on in the background....anybody know?

[JerzeeGrind]

Much respect Philly!

[paceone2]

Classic, that's all you can say about this video. New age rappers should know the pioneers that pioneered hip hop. they should take a MC test.

[Pharcyderpart2]

Aww yeah!! 3xDope never gets old.. Straight Classic.

[mrniceinga]

Michele said if I knew you wasnt gonna provide for me, I wouldnt never stepped to you, period. I cant believe that is what many expect in relationships, someone to provide for them instead of what they can give as well. Back in tha day they didnt get down like that, lol.

[giuseppelobrutto]

yea...what about two people caring for each other...liking each other for each other?

[BornTV]

This is the right video PaceOne2 ok??? Listen to the verse...I see they have both vids mashed up so that is a little confusin...so i am partially in error. so my bad...but the song is GMA. out

[sketchr]

I had the cassette single and would play it for hours. Thanks for uploading this.

[witoescobar]

jeeeeeeessssuuuuuu!!they call me es the over lord the fresh...thats whats up...thats that real shyt.....thanks

[thagoodness]

I love that line too, the overlord of fresh!

[sonofgod33801]

One of the dopest to bless the mic. Highly underrated.

[brilocster76]

This video brings back a lot of memories a time when it did not matter what coast you were from, it was just about making good music unlike the garbage that they play on the radio nowadays.

[giuseppelobrutto]

right on!
