Wake Up Show Anthem (1994) - Nas , Rass Kass , Saafir....

[souljaboy76]

Honestly illest teak ever

[Fnkychld]

Nas rides the beat so well. Lyrical yet still funky. G.O.A.T.

[LHR90101]

Heard this song 100 times but i aint heard the other artists. I just kept on rewinding to NAS THE GOD MC

[dawb86]

@LHR90101 Well, let me do u a solid and tell u to go and listen to Ras Kass and Saafir's verses, like yesterday.

[TTAM27hipHOP]

monch and prince po are so dope and underrated...

[cocacolarar]

classic shiz

[2koolken]

you know lauryn hill's doing the hook right

[2emidero]

Ras is illest, dude should be huge but its all fuckin politics

[TTAM27hipHOP]

@larsy1313 you're a faggot... people always have to make shit about them

[unloadses]

WHY COULDNT I BE BORN IN THESE TIMES I LOVE THIS MUSIC

[cozekas1488]

is it actually possible to get the instrumental?

[WestCoastRedskin]

classic

[nastynas373]

more people need to listen to Ras Kass, he's one of the most under rated of all time. he's arguably the greatest lyricist on the west coast. his first album "Soul on Ice" is a classic

[Sooftah]

@nastynas373 no truer words could be uttered my dude.

[daijinzraleighpark]

@nastynas373 dawb86 Ras Kass actually has a rare pre-soul on ice demo tape called sampler on ice. you can listen to the whole tape on grooveshark, just type in "soul on ice (demo). btw, I'm not spamming just promoting real hip-hop. peace

[nastynas373]

@daijinzraleighpark yeah i saw that on youtube a while ago, i gotta look into to that

[weednigga36]

90´s hip-hop and rap yeeeeeeeaah bro´s that's where my heart's at !!!!

[pastordisastor]

Nas's verse is seriously one of the best i've heard from him.

[FamousChris14]

Holy fuckin Nas

[LyricaLaw]

Is this a diamond D beat?

[cror]

i play this everyday!

[kaltklax]

wow! damn..i slept 15 years and wake up today, listen to this and say all is good :)

[VitalyKoshevoy]

it was a good time///whats goin on now?..

[crizpy9119]

@VitalyKoshevoy Look up Wax. One of the few truly good new hip-hop artists out now days. Dude is mad talented. But there isn't any hip-hop scene goin on like this nowadays, shit is sad

[yukmouth23jayrich23]

Put cocaine on my tongue, you got crack now ROCK ON!

[ambetanterik1981]

haha so good . y idd emceetimmyt i realy miss the 90s hiphop

[ambetanterik1981]

haha so good . y idd emceetimmyt i realy miss the 90s hiphop

[FeelRapp]

juneluva best flow in here

[toxzen]

so good.

[MisterXMagnanimus]

To be honest Ras and Saafir have some of the most distinct flows. Best anthem I've ever heard. By the way does anyone know any other song with this beat cuz its so familiar.

[akeemak22]

I GOT THE INSTRUMENTAL FINALLY IM GONNA POST IT UP AFTER IM DONE PUTTING IT TOGEATHER.

IV BEEN SEARCHING FOREVER TO FIND THIS INSTRUMENTAL, FINALLY IT WILL BE HERE JUST SUB TO MY PAGE SO U CAN SEE IT WHEN I POST IT

[gmoneykc]

[ELchambelan]

How can you not include lauryn hill???????????????????? Are you craxy? That hook is crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

[Coolkidjesper]

@tophy1979 you know what, you just solved a one year old mystery for me.

Thats pretty sick! thanks duke!

[RitchyLoks]

5 dislikes wtf??

[DarkShadeyWolf123]

i just remembered i heard this beat on nato caliph's physics 720 track

[RedLockOfficial]

The instrumental was produced by DJ Joe Quick specifically for this freestyle. It's a shame because I've tried everything in my power to get it. I even tried extracting the vocals but it sounded terrible. Tried recreating it... failed. I guess I'll never have it. Either way dope track and I'm glad to have this. Hip Hop for life.

[DarkShadeyWolf123]

@RedLockOfficial hiphop for life my nigg

[frankeyeinstein]

Is this an original instrumental?

[frankeyeinstein]

I want this instrumental

[screwopenborders]

Hip hop is still alive people, don't forget it! Check out Tech N9ne's new shit if you think I'm full of it.

[nmt84]

ayo what ever happened to shyheim tha rugged child??.. that kid was nice

[FINbball]

Should have been more MC's involved. ´Treach, Q-Tip, Meth, Common.

[DarkShadeyWolf123]

@FINbball common is the man alot of people dont understand him bc of his flow

[TheHumanBallsack]

@FINbball Big, Red, Ra, Gza, G Rap...

[12guageINDIANAboy]

I guess the flow from NAS is so advanced, some people dont understand it. Or cant comprehend it. (KryptonDaVillain)

[KryptonDaVillain]

Nas' is so weak man, thank God Pharoah Monch revived that shit!

[akeemak22]

where can i find the instrumetal? who made it i could never find out

[sensimedia]

I've had this in rotation in my car and on my phone for over a decade and it never gets old. I remember hearing it during the actual Wake Up Show on Saturdays on 92.3 The Beat. I miss real hiphop and real lyricists.

[harmany08]

download link?



[eldiablo9604]

Could fucking zone right out to this shit. Sum's Hip-Hop up for me.

[Metacognition88]

Ahhhh the memories. Much respect to sway and tech for bringing us the wake up show. This was one of the few ways for heads to discover dope hip hop back in the day. This was our pandora.

[DarkShadeyWolf123]

[RottenPeachState706]

[DopingMonkey]

Oh-oh-oh I'm coolin' with my niggaz on the Wake up Show-oh-oh

[AMiniEmil]

Tune it up its the corrupt novelist nas involved in this slovenous radio waves slaves thrive inside of this wake up show flow...

first try and say that, then try to say it over the beat, then try it make it sound easy, then tell me what you think about RAP.

[AMiniEmil]

[beurredecacahuete]

AIIIE

[DGSwalk]

[MershaL90]

[Coolkidjesper]

[tophy1979]

@Coolkidjesper I'm pretty sure it's June Luva from GP-Wu he was on Shyheim's first 2 albums.

[BiggieJay17]

Where Can I Download Dis??

[GrimmjowProduction]

@BiggieJay17 It's from Sway & King Tech's release, called Wake Up Show Freestyles Vol. 2

[MustBCeftBigL]

[EmceeTimmyT]

First time hearing this. I miss this hip hop

[GantzIsSloppy]

@EmceeTimmyT I miss Ras when he was spittin dope shit in-between... his new style is SHIT.

[esconyfinest]

"Mellow with Ganja that makes my eyes turn yellow" I love how Nas uses his words and this beat is a drug lol

[SunnyHeadDog]

[robasulto]

2 people are officially considered deaf

[Mrimpartial90]

[changeling1390]

[TheNonAntiAnarchist]

@changeling1390

Sounds like a Buckwild record to me, but I can't tell.

[ds07uj]

@TheNonAntiAnarchist

It's not a record, this was put together for the wake up show (a radio show). Unreal to think you could of heard this on the radio.

[HitMan1263]

in ya sleep i slap you with the lethal dosage of medicine, so wake wake up with organized and the bretheren

[arkone77]

NAS KILLS IT! THIS SOME SHIT I CAN LISTEN TOO BOMBIN TRAINS ....

[PandaFMXL]

Just the way the beat kicks in when nas is flowin is amazing. .murked this.

[PandaFMXL]

Dam anyone heard this instrumental anywhere..?

[SoulofRevolk1]

Only 94 Tip

[hennylo68]

Dman this is a classic, so many lyrical heavyweights on it. Love the way Nas rides the beat, he is one of the few mcs that can rap to any beat. Fast, slow, east, west, south beats he kills them all.

[sedcdf]

Ras Kass is God!!

[trudon]

sway sold out

[Consoli7]

NASTY NAS - best rapper to ever bless the mic.... mellow with ganja that makes my eyes to yellow

[dutelute]

@Consoli7 makes my eyes go mellow :)

[xXKillaBGXx]

No pork just knowledge and I'm born once more

It's the beat that blesses the streets deep into '94...

[realmusicrealtalent1]

Is Joe quicks the same person king tech? All I wanna who the fuck made the beat?!

[TheSinghFIRE]

[baron12345678910]

[nem700]

[kabutops87]

[jpreme0]

Saafir and RBX should do a joint together ... i KNOW that'll be raw it the setting is right!!!

peace

[realmusicrealtalent1]

@zidane583 youtubeconverter bro

[realmusicrealtalent1]

Nas's Lost tapes volume 2 was planned to release last year but was cancelled, I was looking forward to it, because it was all his old unreleased songs, if you like nas sign the petition at : weneedlosttapes2(dot)com

[yosoytacoseasoning]

that was incredible

[andyeminem23]

@zidane583 thats what im saying haha

[AfroJones42]

Ras fuckin' killed it.

[andyeminem23]

can someone please tell me what exactly the wake up show was?? from what i've seen its a bunch of crazy good mc's

[madrecka]

@andyeminem23 The Wake Up Show was a Hip hop radio show back in the day based in the West Coast mainly L.A. and the Bay Area where once a week usually Friday or Saturday where Sway and Tech played the real Hip hop(compared to the wack stuff you here in today's radio across America) and they gave MC's the time to kick freestyle's unrehearsed. You feel me? This was back in the day from the early '90s until like 2001. I miss those days of real Hip hop being heard on the radio.

[andyeminem23]

@madrecka thanks bro, that sounds incredible, man fuck today's Hot 97 and all the other shitty ass stations too

[gerofranklin]

which is the beat heard at the first 30 secs?

[Luchini731]

@gerofranklin Mobb Deep - Back at You

rkV6SCOIrnM

[gerofranklin]

which is the beat heard at the first 40 secs?

[TheHumanBallsack]

Some of THE most incredible MCs ever born, in their prime, together on ONE TRACK. Straight classic of Hip Hop history.

[ELEsdeeX3]

ohhh man, this reminds me of being a kid and hiphop being so pure and lovely.

i try to remember it the way it was recorded, aside from a few people i know, this form of music is destroyed.

very unfortunate.

[CoolGuy95ya]

Too ill

[NMiLLZ]

@nwcalibp I know the kicks and bass comes from a Mob Deep joint. i think its called dust to dust or some shit along those lines

[devilschild159]

so glad ive found a good hip hop song where about 20 wanna-be's haven't posted their own written lyrics all over it

[arinkalwa]

Wow. So much good stuff. Saafir adds a real surrealistic quality, though. He's got his own thing going on. All of them incredible though.

[mindcontro]

shit is soo butter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maldonadojustin]

Nas and Ras Kass SLAUGHTERED this track. I wish L-Boogie rhymed on this...

[DjMightyMarv]

Datz ya opinion but naw. Anythang in 2010 is not touchin anythang in 94". EVERYTHANG wuz golden back then

[olekpytone]

WAKE UP SHOW FLOW!!!

[lpilgrm]

freakin ras kass. chopped it up like no one's business on this track.

[44STAYTRUE]

TRUE GEM

[TopNoTchVSOP]

This track is so lay back but yet bangin Ras Kass,Canibus,AZ,Wise Intelligent,Black Thought,Common Sense,AG,O.C.,especially O.C.,Eminem,Redman,and Method man.

[blazeitbone]

nas wrecked that hoe.thats my nigga

[vtaycur]

its the beat that blesses the street deep in the '94

[tony28nawlinz]

nas punished this ho ,..........a new orleans nigga co signed this. real

[Komocean]

I stay 100 miles from SF. Had to extend the antenna on the radio, and continuously adjust it just to listen to the Wake Up Show. Ended up recording this on tape along with hella other freestyles and exclusives. Couldn't get the Hiero vs Hobo recorded clearly tho. Too much static that night... Ras Kass, Nas, and Pharoahe Monch are on my top 10 lyricist list.

[jthesnake77]

Nas, Organized Konfusion (especially Pharoahe Monch who is in my personal top 15 FOR SURE...po is nice)....Nas kills it...I'm surprised I had never heard this...The Anthem in 99 is FIRE too...Em, Tech 9, KOOL G Rap, Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, KRS-One, RZA, Xzibit...I think I like the 99 one better, but this one is pretty dope also...On that one I think Em and KGR have the 2 dopest verses w/ Chino/Pharoahe/Tech 9 also killing it

[Coolkidjesper]

someone has to know how the fck is rappin after Shyhem. Been looking around the web for a day now, and nothing so far and I can't place the damn voice either.

[GiMiKFoREVER]

shyhiem killed it

[sYrOcKz805]

i like the 2010 better

[MrAvoid7]

Could anyone tell me were the beat is from

[ThePoetSociety]

There was a stretch in time that there was no better than Nas. DOPE...good to hear Shyheim from back in the day as well.

[cld9119]

i think canibus is the greates rapper just the way he puts the shit together is really like no other

[SlicksNicks]

ash to ashes,

dust to dust..

[90mv]

lauryn is like the coolest chick in the world

[IBlackThought9]

There needs to be more joints like this...simply classic, get all the legends together on tracks.

Kool G Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Nas, Chuck D...etc

[leonmccollum1994]

This is practically unheard,Never knew all these guys would ever get together,and it also makes me think what ever hapned to shyheim,its like he just disapeered.

[IBlackThought9]

Ras Kass, Nas & Pharoahe Monch...holy shit.

[clickidyclack]

@IBlackThought9 That's EXACTLY how we felt in 94...

[GraffKingRomoe]

You Got Crack Now Rock On...

[Division1985]

Ah, back when the Wake Up Show was 3 hours long..Later it was 4 hours. 92.3 The Beat pulled the plug over some bulls*it in 2000.

[EkKent]
