[2Muchpjp]

smoothe as hell. all the members of this group complement each other so well. And I swear they got they own lingo thing goin on in this song. it's like a cool ass language only a hipster would come close to comprehending. It's a verry unique style. now that due props were given it would be cool if everyone checked out my version posted in the video responses... It won't be a waste of time.

[nozzyboibeats]

[562native]

urban

[fredbjamz]

Man I remember how these rappers didn't care about a trend and kept it one hundred wit themselves wit their own style like tribe called quest

[MJBThePeacekeeper]

An old freestyle of mine to this beat. Go ahead and talk shit I'm expecting it.

Got finished listening to underground rap so I'm hyped up

now I'm composing this rhyme as if it was typed up

as of this moment I'm speaking whatever's on my mind

if y'all hating my rap skills y'all must be blind

[MJBThePeacekeeper]

(continued) about the fact of knowing real lyricism and how pointless it is concerning your criticism if real emceeing is what y'all bound to seek in the words of Gangstarr "Check the Technique" but I'm staying low key or on the down low even though I might rap I don't want everyone to know I'm a person that's gone tomorrow but here today drop a few songs and I'm about my way make a hot banger and I'm nowhere to be found like the chick Monie Love and Lords of the Underground

[MJBThePeacekeeper]

(continued) I'm not a one hit wonder like Audio Two cuz' when I drop a song I may come with something new I'm a little of a sesquipedalian ya heard means I'm able to use an extensive word yes I'm smart but don't call me a nerd if I was a top 10 rapper I should come in third this rhyme ain't classic but I'm better than I ever been my 4th freestyle; think I can make it to ten? it really doesn't matter I'm never gon' make it big cuz' it's too much publicity for me ya dig?

[MrKilam16]

ciggerattes arent cool, blunts are. for the person below me

[luvlee83]

@MrKilam16 LOL. My thoughts exactly. Actually corn husks are the healthiest blunt wrap.....

[rojoker8090]

This song makes me wanna wear shades n smoke a ciggarette..just to be cool..thumbs up if you agree

[haralsdd]

if music like this was still made, this world would be more chill and less chaotic...im only 18 and i prefer this music than the stuff i hear now....smh...GOODMUSIK

[brazilboy17]

People say that real Hip-Hop has died but I say that our culture is to blame. Today's artist are influenced by their surroundings and how they grew up. Enrich our culture again and see the change in the music.

[pepe1231234]

Im muthaphukin 15 nd i rather listen to dis g ass old songs den da new hip hop like lil wayne who always talks about his money and his stuff fuck you lil wayne

[felizdiamond]

Perfect!

[samusant55]

4 people arent cool like that

[nicholasdruminor]

i think it's impossible to be mad while listening to this song.

[ectowle]

2009 Tide commercial carried the horn sample from Digable Planets-Rebirth of Slick (COOL LIKE DAT)

[skateboardsteve409]

cats complain about todays hip hop and allways blame lil wayne and souljah boy. its us that made it like that. the masses bought there records to get them high sales= high celebrity status. and theres more than 2 artist out there that make hip hop. im sure theres some really cool underground rappers. i wana see rappers stop counting there money and talk about the real issues. and whats going on in the hood . peace yall have a good one

[leeperryismerry]

This woman is quality!

[StOnEz6one7]

[Stephrulezz]

Man u gotta luv the Bass and Trumpet

[oclakerfan714]

Damn this song takes me back to H.S. Fuckin Hip Hop is dying and we do need to ressurect it, because otherwise our youth will turn to other music and miss out on a the entire culture. The music is what appeals to the masses. We need more artists like Digable Planets, for Real!

[waningstar]

ooooooh ...smoooooth

[candygurl241986]

"Ask butter how I zone.....man Cleopatra Jones" Ladybug Mecca killed it

[MiladyToxic]

[afromisscoco]

[Harl124]

Yak ballz- halogen glow

El-p - how to serve man (the meanest things I'd never say to you)

El-p The overly dramatic truth

Cage- tongue in a sharks mouth

[anemikcookie87]

[JesusAndrewMr]

The best way to download this as an mp3 is on that site mp3iiiiify. Awesome site. GOOGLE mp3iiiiify

[nataliaXL]

heard this in a movie i watched in school called Freedom Writers and i ♥ it ☺

[ryanmary110307]

@nataliaXL THAT MAKES ME FEEL VERY OLD- L IKED IT AS A 13 YEAR OLD

[nataliaXL]

@ryanmary110307 im sry. it wasn't supposed to be offensive.

[bellathuggg]

i <3 it!

[XxHorseluver29xX]

Wow... I used to think hip hop and rap was awful, and yes, I'm 14.. So you might know, so, now discovering something that actually is good, never thought that existed

[ryanmary110307]

@XxHorseluver29xX  IT DID, TRY MOS DEF, COMMAN, ERIKA BADDU

[heroiden]

@XxHorseluver29xX you know why? People are brainwashed by mainstream, MTV and VIVA shit. You have to search for good music. (y)

[mexilt]

ohhhh IM COOL LIKE THAT this is sick

[cliefi]

this is the shit !!!!

[L1ltR3tR3]

song is dope :D

[MrFreshkid781]

dis song is dope :]

[iGodric1]

song IS DOPE!!!

[ryanmary110307]

member when rappers didn't ALL use auto-tone, and had a vocabulary larger than 100 words, when they were creative and songs actually had musicality... I do, but i feel bad for kids comin up now

[DBZmovie2008]

wish i could have remember that. Sadly i grew/growing up in the Crunk and now Auto-tune electro era. Im 18. I was born during the peak of greatness. I missed the good stuff.

[NinaKatarina]

@DBZmovie2008 It's okay. I'm only 20 going on 21 so we are both in the Crunk slash Hyphy slash Auto-tune slash oversampling era! But we can still enjoy goodies like this one here. And btw, THIS IS THE GREATEST HIP HOP SONG EVER!!!! OMG!

[seany2wop]

@ryanmary110307 that is so true. rappers now a days use lack of rythm

. this is a song that most people can understand than hearing the same verse over and over again. i like understanding music. im 14 too. i wish i was born around the 80's era

[Functionify]

@ryanmary110307 dont feel bad for me i love the old school shit......but i also love that ignorant ass gansta rap shit is raw

[keith53t]

@ryanmary110307

Hell yes I miss the true artists and not the fame hunger seeking musicans

[Deivicho]

@ryanmary110307 word !

[Ravensmilz]

@ryanmary110307 sooooo true

[MordieSG]

@ryanmary110307 Dont worry sir there are lots of kids like me who like the oldschool and

like the DOPE underground music WITH musicality

[dontmesswiththefess]

@ryanmary110307 nothing lasts forever

[calliefornia96]

@ryanmary110307 I feel bad for kids coming up now, and I'm one of them. I was born 3 years after this song came out, but I've been trying to bring groups like digable planets back. My friends and I brought this to music appreciation club at school and everyone said "wtf? who names themselves 'digable planets'?" Now, it seems most of the school knows 'em.

[ThatSkaterKid1495]

@ryanmary110307 thats exactly why i listen to underground stuff. way better.

[Remee1cutie12345]

@ryanmary110307 you don't even understand. I was born in 94, and of the 1,500 songs in my itunes probably 75% is pre-1999. I can't stand my generations music. If you were born before 1989, consider yourself LUCKY

[NoRCaL2OhNyNe]

Ahaha!! This song is so dope! Man, I'm glad I was brought up listening to real music to where I knew what sucked. Like Wayne now, sucks. This is real Hip-Hop! Long live HIP-HOP! Down with RAP(Hip Hop with lies)!

[Sidmenon7]

Thnx to Lockerz

I just love this song

[Skunktekos]

Doooope !!!

[169king]

godlike

[andiecat1]

this is so old but awesome

[psper12]

this is soooooo much better than that lil wayne crap...

[Swissher420]

hell yeah man this song is the slapper

fuck lil wayne!

[izzyubz]

i was thinkin to my self when i startedto get the hang of this music like damn, we missed out cux im 16 n i really like these jamz

[personification100]

[SmutheX]

[kjgb988]

and to all the haters out there

fuk you

[KELH1990]

MrPeacelover9....Bruh....You took the words outta my mouth.....This stuff now is trash! and people get mad at me just because I don't listen to crap-artists...REAL artists don't have to rap about drugs and gettin' ho's and that stuff....

[2OfficiallHunniePYT1]

This Myy Shit

[bcome82]

hey Mrpeacelover9,

YOU ARE SO GODDAMN RIGHT!!!

[MrPeacelover9]

wow! last real hip hop song to get major airplay. hip hop has died. its sad, im only 14 and i really wish i could have lived through the times when hip hop had meaning and truth now the only thing people care about is lil wayne who is terrible and has no talent. real hip hop needs to be ressurected

and the new age SHIT needs to be killed and burned

[ducksfan9308]

nice :) and true :)

[dukeofhazzard421]

i totally agree, i dont even listen to hip hop but i used to and i can say that new shit sucks. there was so much more originality back then. now its everyone sampling of eachother

[musikKluva]

i feek da saame wayy!! im 16 n i feel juss like datt smh rap n hip hop diiedd smh

[Coleunodos]

i agree til the part ware u sad tht lil wayne has no talent. he freestyles all of hys shyt, BUT its all bout fuken bitches drugs, nd bullshyt, but still he has talent.

[tiikersz90]

@MrPeacelover9, im 14 too.

i diddn't think anyone else my age listened to real music too.

[DumbEraser]

@MrPeacelover9 You call yourself peacelover and you want to killing and burning??

[cicidavis12]

@MrPeacelover9 dts not true if you were to ever really lisen to lil wayne's lyrics nd have complete understading ou would get his thoughts lil wayne is deep you jut dont listen to the things he really says... hip hop has not died its just certain stupid ass mutherfuckers that cant rape like guccie man and soulja boii dont blame the whole hip-hop community for certain people

[IrishTim13]

@MrPeacelover9 AMEN

[TruNdeeDz]

@MrPeacelover9 Hiphop has not died fool. She just resting.

[melara111193]

@MrPeacelover9 nah man dont wish that you lived back when hip hop was real...insead drop some knowledge on these kids that listen to all this mainstream shit....its up to you young kids to keep hip hop alive

[DomiticoProductions]

@MrPeacelover9

hell yeah!

[nicholasdruminor]

@MrPeacelover9 real hiphop never really died. It's just a little harder to find these days. But there is plenty of good stuff in the Alternative and Underground Hiphop scenes :)

[samusant55]

@MrPeacelover9 dont compare wayne with digable planets u idiot they were in the 90's and wayne is in the 2000's plus this is rap and wayne more oriented hip-hop andd i bet a million this beat wouldn't be has hot in our time sooo.. lil 14 or 15 since it been a year u commented have some knowledge before u criticise artist from our time

[joeybutts13]

@MrPeacelover9 hellyeah 

[iluvcookies198]

[csswaffledude]

Wow! This song is really catchy! The part where the Trumpets come in was awesome :)

[dfNnsteEz]

go hard huh

[Morrisjacob1]

you cant assume hip hop's dead because of soulja boy. of course he's a sellout bitch but theres other rappers and mc's who stay true to da game

[TagginAZN1226]

hip hop is dead. fur real. take it to court. i call Soulja Boy to the stand.

[guerrald]

The lady rapping makes me want to add a "choco-latte" to the end of one of the verses. Also I now see where Snoop Dogg got his 'smoove' rapping style.

[HigginsFamB3]

Not by a long shot, he got that from being the smoothest mother around

[glassingthebox]

Yeah no doubt this when hip hop was at It's best .

[blackmeetsred]

This is when hip-hop was hip-hop and not trash like it is today. I may have been born in 1997 but i know good music. Im oldskool

[UserHappys]

Damn a music smart 12 year old.

Rare now a days they all listen to soulja fag

[odog65]

I know if anyone in the record biz got their asses on here and actually read comments they'd know young people are not dumbasses.

[filipino983]
