1 person disliked this video just because they realized nobody else had and wanted to be the first at something for once but i bet they really love this song anyway
junior high school - played this till the tape almost popped- "now i'm not the type that gets upset- tryna disrespect folks just to earn respect'" - IS THIS A LESSON FOR 2DAY'S ENTERTAINERS OR WHAT??!!!!!!!- thanx 4 uploadin ladygirl99!!!!
@byanycost2 its called a remake dude he made new verses and he used some of the original not to mention slick rick was on the same album so im 100% sure he got permission even though its uncredited
@royalnash true, jay's wasnt as great as this, but it isnt his fault his beat was wack.jay-z cud hav been alot better but its ok becuz slick rick is here and is phenomonel.
@osmarjunior30 , caraleo como é que tu conseguia escuta slick rick na decada de 80 no Brasil ?? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk eu so fui conheçe o slick rick há uns 4 anos atrás, kkkk, good music, these lyrics are great, slick rick rocks
this shit was like the when snooop came out .. the impact this shit had man .. i was a confused lil boy rakim , ll and kane where like the gods of the world ... but slick rick went another way .. totally made anyone else look ordinary .. yea i didnt get what rakim was saying so his shit went past me .
Man, so many MC's went in different directions. Look at KRS-1, PE, Rakim, Grandmaster Flash, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Arrested Development and more. They were all hip-hop, but now, all we got left is a few with the torch. We need people like KRS, PE, and Slick the Ruler Rick.
yea we need these guys to come out . i dunno why they arent active . last album slick rick brought out .. was fire . woulda been 16 tracks persoanlly . but these dudes need to connect old school with the new . peace bro
I've got this album, its one of the most important/influenceable hiphop album, along with paid in full, the chronic,radio, str8 outta compton and a handfull others.
AHHH this takes me way back to Bill Blass jeans and Patrick Ewing Adidas. Going shopping on Delancy and The Albee Sqaure Mall getting chased by 50 cent,, the original 50..
NYC,friday nights,red alert would start his program with this hit.The lyrics, the trumpet, made this hit a great one.The rulers back and he's here to assist!
Jay-z really gets me mad sometimes he took this song and flipped on blueprint it was hot but how do u not honor the artist u got ur style from like rick and kane he didnt come for none of there honors not even biggies like what he thinks hes to big i don t get it.
And what about 2pac, (he covered his "me and my girlfriend" track.),Jay-O,Big L and Rae/AZ or G rap for the maffiso rap (I'm not sure if he's influenced by these rappers).
I agree with you about that cause I love Jay as an artist. But as a man he does alot of questionable things. Oh and a message to these young niggaz is Jay and Nas and Kiss and pretty much anyone 30 and over thats still nice, they are students of the game still cause I know you lil niggaz heard blueprint and thought that that was all Jay on this song. Know your history and go back in the day, then maybe everyone doesnt have to make a Stanky Leg, or another dam dance. Shit discoera aint dance4eva
relax man, thats called recycling or re-reciting something cuz u just like it so u say it just like it/ some call it bighting but we call in inlightment!!!!!!!!!
I love the Trumpet Definitely my Favorite Part of the song besides the Lyrics. We Used to copy the Trumpet sound when we were kids lol. Darn I think I was 11 in 1989
For those that don't know the meaning of dope - that includes you Jay-Z - why don't you listen up!
