You all need to shut up with this video game shit being a bad thing. its good. maybe there's people out there who don't know what REAL music is and then hear this on a game or something and look it up and begin their quest to listen to good music
Hey theres still some real artists out there. Like Lupe Fiasco, who still speak from the heart and have a soul left. Im only 14, but i think i know well enough to tell that this is real music.
I see a lot of complaining here about the new "hip hop" and I get it, really I do, the new stuff has no soul, it has no real message or story. However the only way we are going to rekindle this kind of soulful music is to create it ourselves. Go out and pick up an old mpc or any of the the numerous computer programs that are designed for the purpose of beat/music production and recording. Grab a mic and write from the heart, tell stories that mean something to you. Music will always evolve and
Where did these smooth ass beats go? Why are there no producers that can construct beats like this. Why? Because the chump ass so-called rappers never listened to good rap. They are not educated on essential hip-hop beats, rather Hannah Montana
I reminisce play NBA streets 2 this song feels good 2 reminise on the better times 90's was the best 2 me so far now days music ain't really memorarble sad the game f**ked up
1992. the year i was born. And im so happy that i didnt get caught up on all the fake rap that plays on the radio. you dont know how hard it is not to get caught up in it. but if you know good music... its actually pretty easy to be addicted to hip hop. BBOY DEEROC OUT OF DALLAS TEXAS!
All that's kew I gota seen in the is Micheal Jordan and 90s rap now that shit dnt exist rappn bout riches instead of there humbles r stories even rare jus pure lyrical acrobatics.autotone bullshit.jus alota fag music.destroying something many have passion for
@jmandaking97 love ur quote feels very old skool and i was there but dont know streets vol 2 and want to ask u if its a magazine or album name ?? thnx
I'm only 19 and I think I was just being born or about a year old when this song came out. I might be young but, I know good music when I hear it, and this is definitely it.
@BossManAnt079 i'm 17 and i cant even listen to the new music now a days, there is no comparison to 90's music... glad im a 90's kid and hope the new generation will understand that life isnt about big houses and how much money u can flash around; when its really jus about livin ur own story
Fuck video games dis song is a true klassik I love dis song no matter how u feel dis song will pick u up an da beat is just amazing I wish our generation kud learn 2 love da old skool stuff like me it won't b so much beef an killin but wateva dats life
when i found out they used this for madden i went fuckin ape shit ahaha . i was like NAH, you cant put this on a football game . not in 2011 . still much love for the music tho . goddamn
This is my fav rap song ever!!! Man hip hop was at it's greatest in the 90's! The crap that is played today can't even begin to compare..if I could like this a million more times I would...they just don't make good music like this anymore..smh
Get the fuck out! They did not put this shit on Madden12? You cant play Madden to this track, Madden doesnt capture the heart to have it. this song belongs on one game and thats NBA Street V2, back in that day shit of video gaming. Fuckin remember playin this on my original XBox on my 10 in by 10 in screen man. lol
Any body who reads this,
go play a real football game and buy NFL 2K5, no Madden steps up.
This track is a true definition of what true hip hop is. My good friend Louie Bello who is an R&B singer from Boston used this beat to remix one of his tracks for one of his live shows.
Nice track!!! I first heard this instrumental from a song by Lupe Fiasco called Dopeboys and now im here and im amazed by the work that Pete Rock does as well as CL
this song gives me the ultimate feeling of nostalgia... i dont think any other hip hop song can make me want to go back in the past more than this song does
i heard this song on nba street vol 2 for the 1st time...everytime i hear it i think about old skoo basketball and that game lol...but this is true hiphop it kills all the shit played today
aw yeah, and thats word to Pete Rock for the sample at the beginning...he a mothafuckin genius for that...to find a beat in a song as old as "When She Made Me Promise" and use it on this track...CLASSIC...
this one of them songs that as soon as I hear it my mind gets laden with memories from when I was a shorty...hangin wit my big cousin...the good days...where is a time machine when you need one man?
CLASSIC!!!
