Poor Righteous Teachers - Shayilah

[soljahsolrac]

love yaself ,love and respect woman-This is the kinda music illumanti hates -dats why dey dont pump it- //this is not a love balid////

[TOMIT2112]

Throughout history people in the masses do not want to hear the truth and In many regards curse the the people trying to enlighten them... Real hip hop was killed do the fact that these artist sole fan base was white and black males ages 14 to 28...The sad fact is this demographic of people are the least likely to purchase music. 1 person in the school bought it and every one dubbed it. When Hip-Hop went main the purchasing power in music shifted to 10-16 year old females. That there target now

[RockinLifestyle]

People forget that PRT put it on the map for NJ first.

[rabidninja]

[blackmale78]

[blackmale78]

[Saintboss]

Not enough Respect givin to the God Wise. Like Rakim, Wise Mastered Self and The God used Rap as means of Manifesting Self as Master.

[kingsolomonsmind]

Shakilah!

[baazbana]

THIS IS HIP HOP!!!!!! Fuck this shit everybody lets bring Real Hip Hop back!!! Hip Hop is Africanism. Hip Hop is from African Americans. Lets Take this shit back. Hip Hop aint dead its just that imposters are ruling the throne. I have seen enough to see that a lot of people want real hip hop back. Lets take action now. Fuck that im tired of sitting around like an old person talking about how thats how it use to be. Im gonna do shit Im gonna do my part now. Who's with me.

[77musica]

@baazbana I am already doing my part amidst the bullshit, here in San Francisco we are trying to maintain HIP HOP, while living in New York back in the days I observed the essence of HIP HOP and some of us still have the flava, my people are from Bluefields, Nicaragua and there we mix it with Dancehall.

[GrenZaboka]

@baazbana u right but they won't sell

[SAVAGEDAWG23]

@baazbana I know what you mean bro. But you can't blame these gay rappers that are in the rap game....Blame those fuckin fans that brought them into the rap game. This new hip hop is corny as hell

[reprezenthiphop]

purement du putin putin putin de lourd i reprezente the reel hip-hop

[kdpflanders1]

THE ILLUMINATI MADE CERTAIN THIS ELEMENT IN HIP HOP CULTURE (WHICH IS POPULAR CULTURE NOW) IS COMPLETELY ABSENT FROM HEAVY ROTATION IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. THANK GOD ALLAH FOR THE INTERNET.

[tanyatmr]

Classic!

[NowRoDHS]

Wise Intelligent had wicked, wicked word play!!!! One of my all time favorite groups!!

[sgottie1000]

[SFL70]

@101iamlegend all you have to do is believe. With man things are impossible but with God nothing is imposible. Maybe you are looking at to many music video with ho's today and not looking on the street where the REAL true black Queens are. I'm a Shayliah!!!

[supadopest]

TRENTON REPRESENT !!!

[JAYUBET]

21-gun salute!

[Turntabalistics]

PRT dope shit muslim style

[bripell62]

ayo, Poor Righteous Teachers are one of the groups who got interviewed for the book " H0W T0 RAP - The Art and Science of the Hip-Hop MC"

Really great read, they drop loads of MCing knowledge in there and there are a lot of other legends interviewed in there too

[myownpoop]

@bripell62 get the fuck off this shit..dam I dont like seein the same shit on every vid

[617wax]

@bripell62 YALL PROMOTERS MUST MAKE BANK! POST THAT SAME SHIT ON ALL THE GOOD VIDS!

[Tarikatlar]

liked it when i was a kid, when i was ignorant.. Still sounds good, but I cannot endorse jews.

[SFL70]

This is dedicated to all the True Black Queens I'm one!!! AMEN!!! 

[101iamlegend]

@SFL70 They don't exist much these days.

[tannerutah]

I think this beat is actually Paul McCartney ( mike Jackson rip) the girl is mine.

[fnkdrmmr]

Funky and Deep.

[Steven88529]

They don't make music with flavor any more.

[nldrayson]

Who's the group at the first 6 sec.

I know the beat is from Kool & the gang..

[nldrayson]

@nldrayson Downtown Science - This Is A Visit

[nldrayson]

[maati112]

[MrSHiNRILLA]

[ZombieFate11]

So under rated, this entire album was incredible. If I could only own one hip-hop record this would be it. (Live Hardcore Worldwide by BDP a close second).

[JSOCCO123456]

TRENTON ROCKS TO THE PLANET ROCK

[DJJJINSTL]

RIGHTEOUS RAW DOPE! MY GOD!!!!!

[TheGeneralMoe]

[yungac3]

STREET KNOWLEDGE!

[ankokugaiBOSS]

and suckers always said "rap degrades Black women"......bullshit

[saalakhanREBORN]

A jewel from the golden age of hip hop. Lyrically, right and exact and sonically soulful. Its so good to hear this again and remember what hip hop was before it became the semi illiterate halfway house of gucci mane and other prostitutes of the culture.

[yomamasofat87]

wise intelligent is a damn good rapper thats for sure no question about it!

[psyhchoman]

FOREVAAAAAAAAAAA

[77musica]

@derkonditor You are correct, today on the radio is shit, controlled by the nice white men.

[SIAVEK]

@77musica ...THEY DIDNT PLAY THIS on the radio EVEN WHEN THE ALBUM WAS OUT IN 91. I COULD MAKE A GREATEST HITS OF MCS THAT HAD DOPE RECORDS ABOUT LOVING AND RESPECTING SISTAS///

[jesuitpimp]

@SIAVEK maybe not where you lived but where i was at the video was on tv and the song was all over the radio

[SIAVEK]

@SIAVEK IM FROM L.A. CALIF. THEY DIDNT PLAY ALOT OF PRT ON THE RADIO, SO ME AND MY BOYS HAD TO BUMP IT IN OUR CARS AND TRUCKS. WE HAD TO APPRECIATE MC'S LIKE WISE WITHOUT MUCH RADIO EXPOSURE. STILL BUMP HIS SHIT TODAY LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT!!!!!

[77musica]

During the golden years of REAL Hip Hop MCs actually read books and were smart.

[SCHMOOVNESS]

Who has an IQ above zero, knows that the music here is simply worlds better than the radio/Tv crap.

[77musica]

@SCHMOOVNESS you are correct as well, today there is shit music for shit people, in other words, pop music for the populous.

Peace.

[bangledesh]

this is my new favorite song

[trumusicgen]

luv it, this when Black women were valued and treasured in Hip Hop

[MiCT]

PRT damn I loved these guys. Trenton,Nj baby. Used to live in Philly. This track is retarded!!!

[thatladfromsheffield]

ohh shit, the guy at 1:22 looks like Ghostface! lol

[thesouthrapsucks]

giving props to a black women in hp hop??? unheard of in todays garbage so called rap.....this is dope

[supamiss]

Gotta love the running man at the beginning!

[NorEEzta]

I've been a poor righteous student since the 80's. Hip Hop 'll be back. Trust me.

[djcswift369]

if any1 knows what tha attribute shayilah means could u hit me wit tha info ...

1L

[34hassan]

i'm sure its 5% slang for women???...

[bangledesh]

in the song shakiyla is just her name. earth is what the nation of gods and earths (5%'ers) call black women

[thesouthrapsucks]

dope hip hop im 17 i know this is real i feel it in my heart...

[IsaacRnR]

damn, its outrageous how so talented MC's of that era didnt have recognizition!

the so called "rappers" of this era should learn bout these cats !

[Krisando]

They don't even know these guys exist most of them, they grew up listening to MC Hammer lol.

[dunzaman]

Word, I couldn't figure why they never got big.

[hassafella]

Man these guys and all the groups and MC's of this era was big to us. That's all we listened to. That was our music not pop nor mainstream at all. Our mainstream was Kiss FM(Red Alert) and WBLS(Mr. Magic), our under ground was DNA Hank Love, Awesome Two, and Stretch Armstong radio shows. Everyone had tapes upon tapes upon tapes of ol school rap artists. Damn the dayzz!!

[shizzlemartyr]

they never got big because they wernt about killing people

this would not ut across the steriotypical rapper that the american government wanted

[vauxhall908]

@IsaacRnR us jersey heads recognized that half the reason your hear what you hear is caus the founding fathers of hip hop the rest of you havn't heard jersey had the 90's hip hop hands down shit most of early hip hop didn't really come from N.Y. people front

[mizzamoe]

@IsaacRnR or perhaps these modern day "rappers" should be discredited as actual artists...I agree with ya though

[enyze001]

1986-1996 BEST YEARS OF HIP-HOP

[qwandiddy]

Im With you 100%, We gotta kick it!!!!!!!

[enus1]

@enyze001 to 1999 or even 2001

[itsmarcuslark]

wonder if people will think andre 3000 is original wit his style if they knew they history...just like they wouldnt think lady gaga is wild n crazy n new fo da business if they remembered grace jones was doin dat way back when she was da scariest woman i eva saw

[ckj377]

@itsmarcuslark

So true. The youth today have no sense of history. They think these new acts are so original and innovative. They should give it up to the true innovators.

[illassdj1030]

@enyze001 -- THAT IS SOOOOO TRUE SUN!!

[IllaNoyze781]

[browjonb]

[songotenz02]

There's just something about this track that's so nostalgic. Oh yea that's right, when REAL hip hop was around even though I was 7 when this came out. I'm happy to have been growing up during that time.

[CEASONE77]

lmao good point !!

[mkinn1]

I loved Poor Righteous Teachers. I was a little too young to appreciate what they were saying back then, but now in my 30's I really do

[macewindu67]

No doubt this is for the real queens who respect they bodies and dont get caught up in the baby mama bull shit. The queens who know how to respect and love a real brother.

great song!! It's not like other artists dont make songs with similar subject matter. Sadly somewhere along the line, Corporations decided that only gansta, hoe, killer, bitch, bling bling and pop champagne is the only subject matter that sells

[ssgoku003]

[77musica]

Let's keep Hip Hop in NYC for ever. Please Zulu Nation kill any other wanna be hiphop artist with silence and diligence.

[sistertighteyez]
