Intelligent Hoodlum- Grand Groove (Bonus Mix)

[JmansFragments]

i thought the other guy was the real hoodlum

[ThisIsVice]

R.I.P. Simon, a neighbourhood friend who died 10 years ago.

Now the point is, he'd be 17 this year, what happened to mankind...

[KelferMookie]

all my niggas dat passed away..we love u till this day

[CurvyAries]

I fell in love with this song when it came out back in the day. This song really touches my heart because I can really relate to it. I've lost my father, sister and brother, all within a few years of each other. When you grieve for the loss of a loved one, that kind of pain never really goes away. One of the positive messages of this song is to appreciate the people you love as much as you can while you have them in your life. No one is promised tomorrow.

[RealHipHopSucks93]

wack

[whiskymarko]

damn this is such an impressive song shiiiiit

[hiphoproots95]

I was introduced to Tupac in 2007 by one of my homies (we were 12 years old), and ever since then i have been exploring and researching and discovering old school hiphop (70's-80's-90's) I am now 16 (almost 17) and i am fed up with the bs so called "rap" music of the present day. Im old school and proud. Old school hiphop makes me think of the world around me in more abstract ways and really gets me thinking about things.

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

It's YOUNG JEEZY. lol jk

[dashielj1]

holy shit

[ketjr19]

Entire album... Stoopid Dope Dumb Dumb Fresh... Now ya know!

[goldielocksplanet]

Intelligent Hoodlum!

[54495319145]

R.I.P Corey and Brione...

[Chooify]

I'm tired of all these young cats saying "I'm 12 and I hear this music and no one else that lives near to me hears this kind of hype" some bullshit like this I'm 14 and been hearing this kind of music for years and I don't post some lame comments. It's not about age it's about style, taste for good music and personality.

[monkeymanNr1]

@Chooify thank you

[spainman2020]

@Chooify I feel you but dude sometimes i get so disappointed with good hiphop getting lost over bs in the young crowd that its a breath of fresh air to see younger folks checking in. gives me hope lol, but I get you.

[WoleuBoy]

Epic...

[6JACOB6MARTINEZ6]

I am a 15 year old kid who is glad he didn't fall into the typical hip hop of 2011. I believe I am wiser from listening to music such as intelligent hoodlum. Like this comment if you believe that true hip hop doesn't consist of ignorant stories about being a "pimp", but consists of true stories,struggle, and life.

Peace and one love. never forget true hip hop

-Jacob Martinez

[SkateGraffHipHop]

@6JACOB6MARTINEZ6 of course you are wiser.

im 15 too.

dont say typical "hiphop" of 2011 , it's called SHIT!

intelligent hoodlum right here is smooth like that super skunk i'm inhaling right now

[benydelsol]

@6JACOB6MARTINEZ6 if there were only more kids that thought like you do, we'd be in a better place musically.

[thekillingjimmy]

@6JACOB6MARTINEZ6 Like SkateGraffHipHop said,you shouldn't call the new days shit as the hip hop of 2011.There's no music anymore.All is about money and reputation.And yes,I am 15 years old,too and I am glad I listen to all these old school melodies and I don't give a damn if all my classmates don't listen to them.I really don't give a damn...cause I know that there are 15 years old homiez out there who listen to what i listen just like you and i am glad ;)

[titodibiase]

@6JACOB6MARTINEZ6 That's real Peace G !!!!

[dovante11]

@6JACOB6MARTINEZ6 nice bro me 2 

[19MJsPr89]

[monkeymanNr1]

[bigghost27]

I was about 14, 15 when this came out. It was on the 1st VIBE magazine mix cd and by far the best song on the cd. I played this track everyday walking through the neighborhood. Even dubbed it onto a tape to play in my Sony Walkman (youngins today don't even know about the yellow & black walkman with the locking tape door). When my loved ones passed over the years I came to truly understand the beauty of this song. One love to Tragedy.

[ncoy9]

[blazedabooth]

@sacaleche2 This is the best comment I seen in a longtime, power is people if you want hip hop to come back then lets get together and do something about it. Word to motha.

[prodigypf]

@sacaleche2 Word

[ILLCRILLKILLER]

Hip Hop Revolution will not be televised, The Revolution will be ripped from the very foundation if the fake shit that is piling on top of it. You will see empire made from bullshit rappers get swiftly cut down with the blow from a Billion different swords from a billion different directions. See Emcees screw Rappers out of they own money without Vaseline or a Cap for protection. If they are willing to defend it, Then let these ringtone Gangsters pull out they guns for they diein funds.

[ariq45ariq]

There is also a Grand Groove 2 by Outerspace. Its a group from Philly that's associated with Jedi Mind Tricks. They preee hype.

[ezlrockwell82]

@GOODTHYME11 - I'm really feeling this song. I missed it when it dropped (I'm not from NYC, so that happens a lot unfortunately ;) I meant to ask -- is the last verse a tribute to his grand mother ("grand groove")?

P.S. Is Trag getting out soon?

[8962651]

lil wayne can suck a fat dick hes just a lil baby bitch nigga thats all i have to say

[insideyourpants1]

peace Trag, one of NYC's finest without a doubt.

[darrion052395]

This Shit Gives Me Flashback Memories Of My Family

[djhivesdotcom]

the reason we are blesses with the likes of lil' wayne and solja boi, is becasue young black youth these days are welfare faggots. Back in the day you had to survive, everything was real, today instead of these young n*ggas hitting the streets at 18 and being men, they stay at home w/ their section-8 mammy and fear suriving on their own - thus their music now is E-motional... whiny ass lil 'wayne bullshit , I would whine too if I was born like lil wayne and skuurd to surivie on my own. punk sht

[dvharris75]

@djhivesdotcom

I agree 100%. Back in the day you groups like Public Enemy getting kats to stand up on their own. You are 100% all Lil Wayne does whine and b.itch about stuff. Your right these young dudes dont even want to do anything on thier own. Nothing can convince them that they need to do something for themselves. Emotions are cool but you need to use them to propel yourself forward.

[zuluqueenchele]

and have no knowledge of the culture

[selicleto]

love the the verse at 0:45, how true is dat!!!!!

[kevinjones238]

lil wayne?. gucc?i jeezy? REAL TALK. Time zone? This shit is timeless son!!!!!!!

[darrion052395]

Free the intelligent hoodlum

[1hottlady]

That Patrice Rushen beat make this joint go hard!

[JayArgonaut]

lol Listen to Half Way Thugs Pt2, someone's posted it on here and you'll understand where I'm coming from. Nore claims amongst other things that he ghost wrote most of Trag's best lyrics.

[JayArgonaut]

A classic, underrated joint that never received the airplay and acclaim it deserved.

It took years for me to track this down and get the album. Perfect production and sampling by K-Def of Patrice Rushen. Tragedy's lyrics are mindblowing, I wonder if they're what Nore claimed he ghost wrote for him lol...

Real rap music and mc'ing on display, makes me wish for the days when you could turn on the radio & such quality would be a regular occurrence.

Is there anyone doing stuff like this today?

[AKAbasik]

no homie we listen to lil wayne all day nigga wat u thinkin, get in da time zone stop dwellin in da past nigga, real talk

[kevinjones238]

lil wayne represents REAL rap music huh?

[klobasa29]

lil wayne represents punks who were NEVER supposed to spit on the mic

[thatdudecozz89]

LITTLE GAYNE SUCKS...This is a CLASSIC. His music will get older quicker than you think, LITTLE BOY!!!!

[kevinseveneleven]

sounds like your pants are too tight, faggot.

[rickjames4ever]

The hed nod. to the hipho..peace!

[RealHipHopSucks93]

wack rapper

[else3573]

Your "game" has grown old son. Funny, for someone who doesn't like golden age hip hop, you know all the tracks, and call it "real"? It aint been funny in a while...really, it never was.

[RealHipHopSucks93]

faggot

[else3573]

Good answer...

[else3573]

Country ass mo'fucker. Get ya read on.

(By the way, ATL is ON the east coast. Outkast is from ATL. Outkast came out in the 90's. I guess they wack too....)

[EvolvEEEE]

YO AINT THAT CAMRON

[EvolvEEEE]

YO AINT THAT CAMRON?????

[elshowgun15]

FREE TRAG!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[9jorge78]

[hahamoha]

why isn't this on the radio fuck lil wayne bullshit

[RDoubt96]

@hahamoha Cause it came out in 1990.

[hahamoha]

@RDoubt96 yes i understand that, what i'm saying is, why isn't there a radio station that still plays this music. there should be

[sfreester]

@RDoubt96 Beatles were 60's and they get more radioplay than anyone. Your point is moot.

[qwandiddy]

@hahamoha Real Talk, man!!! This is real rapper.

Fuck Down South bullshit like Souljaboy, Young Jeezy, T.I., Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Drake.

[mcglee]

Grand Groove Bust a move!!! Classic Jam, Intelligent Hoodlum (aka Tragedy Khadafi) really put it down on this one.

[madojaja]

"peace to the brothers who passed away"
