EPMD- I'm Housing

[yoohootube]

I'm the biggest metal fan, and I clicked over to hear the RATM version just to see what everyone was talking about - I only made it 30 seconds in. You have GOT to be kidding.

[lanedek]

@yoohootube Grow some taste faggot. Why are some metalheads always the biggest elitist dickheads when to comes to music?

[WelanderDK]

Basically it's all about who you are. I like rock, therefore I prefer Rage Against The Machine's version. But I don't think this version is shitty at all. But haters have to remember who wrote this song. ;-)

[iPetrify]

I honestly think both of these are awesome. Neither is better.

[mas2ery]

what is the background song? what it is, what it is!!!!?

[brightonblock]

@mas2ery call it exactly what it is.

[MultiTagger101]

Yah i was kinda wondering bout that o.O machine sounds better x)

[acdegrees421]

The best use of "Rock Steady" that I've heard

[yagodigdiz]

THRASHER Skate and Destroy brought me here

Classic :)

[jidanni2]

UK Mix: /watch?v=t5cL5YWJzLI

[ambientdweller]

YO..home boyz fresh out of skool, this is your bible, take note and multiply...:))

[art96321]

this song is actually better But RATM made it sound beast when he said cause im Housin and these guys say it with no emotion but the rap sounds better then RATM

[cowboyhan]

Anyone who doesn't realize the RATM version is a cover after hearing the line about "...unbuttoned my Lee denim" is retarded. Who the hell wore Lee when RATM re-did this?

[TheAlphacrucis]

I heard RATMs version first...as I dig that band...but this is cool also... All Good :-)

[chailizard]

So at no point in this version are we instructed to relate to the matter as he drops the bomb?

[MNeezy1000]

There's Nothing like this original...The rock version is corny & fraudulent. An A for effort goes to them rock guys though...

[scando1444]

this song sucks compared to RATM's cover

[goodtrees69]

Aretha Franklin?

[whisperer46]

RATM RULES !

sorry =))

[emjdj1]

These guys come so hard on this track, just ice cold the whole time talking about doing serious dirt.

[EvanesEmperor]

Thank you for the reviving. I was almost dead until I clicked on this...................

I love this shit..

I am drunk..

yeah...

[MrGetalife23]

this is true rap unlike all that bullshit music these days

[RobertRussellFike]

I don't mean to use the "f" word. I know, it's kinda crude. I didn't mean anything bad.

[RobertRussellFike]

That is a killer fuckin' tune.

[RobertRussellFike]

Right fukn on!

[Saanc8]

I remember recording this off the radio to cassette and playing the $hit out of it on my boombox in college. My roommate was like "what is housin?" lol

[lumby]

I prefer this version. They're both great though.

[geoffmarsh]

Another good song that RATM took and made better

[gothamjediknight]

new jack crab MCs watch yo nuggets, EPMD is housin

[SleptWithUrWife]

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy -- Probably the best soundtrack in a game ever. My parents bought me this for Xmas because Tony Hawk was sold out. I was a little upset but this game turned out to be soo much better. I loved how much more realistic it was. I still have the game but my Playstation is M.I.A. so I can't play it.

[patcalv]

This is pretty fucking sexy

[TheCoop2112]

I like playin' RATM version on bass, totally bad ass version

[KodoLeg]

I love both versions <3

[75lord]

stupid asses who cares if ratm version is better......theres wouldnt exist witout epmd......probably the same kind of dumb asses who didnt like rap till they heard eminem

[jrwaneurysm]

@75lord Shut the fuck up. God forbid people like Eminem. One of the only rappers that has a fucking thing to say without talking about bitches and his jewelry. Fuck off asshole.

[75lord]

@jrwaneurysm Fuck you whatever you are.....your probably who im talking about. I like both em and epmd but its just irritating when people credit ratm and discredit the original which is the song your listening to. So what the fuck are you talking about jackasshole? i probably know more about this shit than you do.

[evansmith4401]

this isnt as g as il wayne

[JJJUICEBOX]

I HATE COMPARISONS

[mizzie101TH]

the rage version is a millions better i really hate to say it

[MonsterMash51]

Holy jeez, this was a mind fuck after hearing the RATM version for years.

[Ryo64b9]

bass is the same as rage

[srajtek]

@Ryo64b9 It is totally diffrent.

[EbonyDollable]

sigh this is when rap was real

[patrick4055]

terrible ass photo lol

[PhattyMilkz]

@patrick4055

Phat gold, jherri curl wig, 8-ball jakcets, early 90's b-boy style...how is this terrible?

[patrick4055]

@PhattyMilkz his hair looks like those hats they wear in russia

[TheDylanvarrow]

[ruairi50]

[w1ntersw0lves]

he has no emotion what so ever

[jclark246]

Fat cable means big gold chain.

[spaztaek]

@jclark246 i think you'll find it means big television

[123ERIC456BRODY]

rage's version wouldnt exist with out this though, so original songs arent the best version, but they deserve all credit

[uzipolo]

:40...........so i stepped back, and started spraying niggas...........says uzipolo king of decatur

[WeeBiscuit25]

What is "fat cable" ?

[uzipolo]

@WeeBiscuit25 its jewlery that we used to wear in the early mid 80's it was hollow or you can get it solid gold it was also called doogie rope chains as well alot of rappers are bringing it back now if you look at run dmc greatest hits albulm cover thats the fat cables they have on..says uzipolo king of decatur

[drftismer]

Sorry, what's meant by fat cable???

[bwitaib]

THE FUNK'S IN MY FACE !!!

[HipHopAus]

The RATM version is basically a totally different song just with the same lyrics. No point comparing them, they're totally different and both are great. I prefer the RATM version but that's just me

[stormrage1221]

@HipHopAus I agree 

[letterman151]

@HipHopAus i actually like the RATM version they make it relly chilled out and then chorus is really in your face its awesome

[mekeega]

RATM as way more passion put into this song

[SuperGabe55]

rage did the best cover of this song ever

[bboyrocklee]

rocksteady baby...!

[182sk84life182]

naah rage vers. is alot better but s'pose it depends what youd rather listen to

[astahuevo]

Anyone has the remix of this song? (appeared on the Sleeping Bag Mixdown)

[victorragingredlma1]

Hey, I think that I am housin' too ... it is cool ... 0.O

Wha is "to house" anyway?

[victorragingredlma1]

Excellent. This is true music. Really worth a kick ass cover

[SSFelfjac]

I do hous.. with my HK

[ampegged]

Impressed, first time ever heard it.

[nwhite42]

Love it, this is funky

[troll2blood]

this ratms song

[TopGunOriginal]

RATM did a cover of this song, this is the original

[rippemies]

Good song, delivery could be better though.

[kkrivers79]

EPMD's first label was Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records. Then they went to Def Jam in 1990. Now they have their own label:EP Records. Speaking of EP Records,it almost looks like Epic Records.

[Lozarouy]

THRASHER SKATE AND DESTOY

[byfd4201]

[EmmaTall09]

@Lozarouy

[RapSince99Sucx]

I loved playing Thrasher on ps1. The soundtrack to that game was ill. Tribe, Grandmaster Flash, GangStarr & EPMD

[Lozarouy]

@RapSince99Sucx i just checked my inbox for the first time this year and this was the only positive reply i had hahah. yeah it was a rad game!

[evitageNtheGreat]

No way, I was into Rage before I was into EPMD, but EPMD's version is superior in every way WESRULE531

[Anglefan12]

@evitageNtheGreat superior in every way except in ferocity and power

[WESRULE531]

Rage Against the Machines is way better

[xXdinkelXx]

ouh yeah

[matteman87]
