Summer of 97 was the best!!! Tracks like this in the clubs used to bang hard body. R.I.P to the days we used to dance at clubs and not worry about looking like fools.....
@feistychick70 Well...................he was arrested for a LARGE amount of liquid cocaine in '01. But pardoned by Bush in 08. So thats Forte's story.
Stop being so uptight. Yo the truth is New York rap never did fall off. Wit JayZ, Fab, Jada, Nas, 50 and a couple others.. How could anyone say New York fell off. Actually what happened is New York fell off in New Yorkers minds.. no one elses.
@katkiller36 "South" a joke? C'mon bro, you sound like a absolute hater my friend. The south has plenty styles thats why we've been at the top so long. UGK, Outkast, Roscoe Dash, BoB, Cee-Lo, Little Brother and Witchdoctor all have polar opposite sounds....from bass and krunk to alternative and conscious. We can adapt to the evolving nature of hip-hop because of the variety in our cultures.
I'll pay "$50" for a legitimate response. Gone' and marinate on that shit hater.
@BlackShogun -sorry for the offensive comment ,blak shogun? U appear very emotional and soft 4 such a hrd name. If u need $50, why didnt u jus ask????
@katkiller36 New York fell off too, though. The south ended up influencing them because that's what was hot on the radio at the time. New York aint been the same since. They even look and dress like people from the dirty south. New York needs to find it's identity again musically. 94-98 was New York's glory dayz in mainstream.

ok, but what about the allegations about Laryn Hill doing drugs? I'm you sorry you found out that I'm a dumbass. I don't deny that. that still doesn't mean that Laurn Hill has hit the crack pipe before.
Man... I remember the first time I heard this: on a bus trip to New York, walkin' down the street w/ Hot 97 in the headphones. Def. a favorite that's hard as hell to find today.
think back when she performed w/ the fugees for the BET awards back in 2000'(i think)and she had on that bigg ass bow shirt w/ those high waisted trousers and that Rihanna cut... Fast forward to today and whats rock'n???? Exactly... Shes beyond her time!
Yeah you ain't lying... I had to use old pictures of her because the most recent ones (out of my Love & Respect for her as my alltime favorite female emcee) I just couldn't use... *I'm not gonna talk bad about her...
You should look a little further than the images the media wishes to present. The same place they got the unflattering pictures posted all over the internet, I have seen beautiful pictures from these same concerts. Also, if you are a true fan who are you to censore her image.
That should be censor. I think old photos are appropriate for this video, but I at other times I think it is insulting to not allow her to grow and develop and allow for individual change. No one stays the same for ever.
Just like you're intitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine and I do as I please... I'm not gonna use unflattering pictures of somebody that I like/admire as an artist when they are going through a difficult period in life and (to be honest) look terrible and/or not as good as they used to...
... You don't have to go far to find out what she looks like today... Right here on YouTube you'll find recent interviews... And lastly ask anybody who's actually been to any of her recent concerts within the last year (i.e., in Brooklyn) or so and ask them what she looked like and what she was talking about...
well i was there,.. and although a few (allot actually LMAo) may have left, her true fans remained. Many came to c a person stuck in a time warp, but instead was greeted by someone (to my belief) beyond their times.... U cant expect a person of such brilliance to b on the same page w/ the common person... but as u said ur entitled to ur oppinion
Oh yeah... There's a dope video of the making of this remix on YouTube... Just type in "Sweetest Thing" and it'll come up... And lastly, I put up 2 remixes of the Ex-Factor that she did and a unreleased track called "Blame It On The Sun" that she did with the Fugees back in '96 - Just click on my name and you'll see 'em...
This record here is so fly.
