[hajdarhoti]

SCarface...

[humphrey971]

this is a real message everyone in this live allso for me, i had it allso to my age???

[lre24]

This is my Uncle Scratchy's song! Savoir Faire is everywhere! The Message is a Rap masterpiece and the message is still very alive today.

[Whiteshirtloosetie]

Awesome. At Henley this year , can't wait

[TheGuille46]

I heard this when I was 18 and it's rocked my world ever since!!!!! Love it

[LeiToDammed]

San Andreas song :D 

[LaughingatpainUSAway]

I Remember this Great song, very well versed & full of honest truths that rarely make the radio.

[ScorpioBornIn69]

What difference during the early years of rap/hip hop. And even just as noticable, no baggy pants. Tight jeans were in fashion.

[BrettRVB]

cruisin down grove street blasting this song

[entwistle4ever]

North Fillie is a DUMP. Stay away!

[LakerKev]

I like Lil Wayne a lot but he aint the G.O.A.T. None of this new nigga shit can touch 80's or 90's hip hop. Download some Eric B and Rakim or some EPMD or some NWA or Public Enemy you dumb bitches and you'll hear some real hip hop.

[PhilomathBret]

Definitely the best rap song of all time!!

[altimablackberry]

SCARFACE PS2!

[TheMushr00mman]

@35stevestarks Wow, man. That's sad. You can't even respect the origin of your shitty ass music. You disgust me.

[35stevestarks]

@TheMushr00mman That’s because this music sucks big time ass.the 00’s got shit on lock right now son

[HockeyPlayer274]

[PaperBag3G]

This is rap. Fuck everything else.

[kmashers1]

[toker420stones]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

[TheeHagakure]

Lyrics and beat = Classic

[Lafourche4747]

Sometimes i ride through the seedy parts of the hood to geaux home, and im a white guy, so i always play this song so i can disguise myself at the stop signs and red lights

[angeliorip925]

11 people lozt their head, uh huh huh huh huh huh huh

[JmariolinkJ]

If only I found this sooner. This is awesome!

[SakuraMoonflower]

This was the hip hop I loved-the spoken word poetry set to music that highlighted the issues if the lower to middle class and their longing to rise above, to live in a place without judgements-a promised lang....

[CaveKanem]

Is It Me Or Does The Nigga @ The End Doing The Police Voice Sound Like Clifton Powell aka PINKY, NUGGA! Ahaha

[borg69]

Listen to the laugh he does in this song. Phil Collins credits his laugh in Mama to this song.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ugh!

[rednecktuesday]

when this song came out hip hop was born.......now 30 years later some fag called gay khalifa is smoking weed in front of a camera

[c0d24live23]

@rednecktuesday Yeah that faggot thinks people wanna see him smoking his weed, I would die to smoke a spliff with Bob but fuck Wiz Khaomo.

[gregory88843]

Best Yet! Thanks!  G.C.

[CyoKid]

This classic and the way Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five did this set the blueprint for every MC or rapper to every talk about the harsh reality of the black communites across the United States. The Ghetto itself was spitting "The Message" it was channeled through them. To talk about the streets, the blocks, corners, and the ghetto overall........You throroughly studied this record PERIOD!!!!!!!!! Past, Present, and Future.

[MrOldschool64]

high school days! how easy it was back then!

[APhantom3000]

Yeah this classic music..I wish they made it like this but if they did no one would buy or support the album.

[CajCoo]

[MrFreefonix]

[PoTaTOES951623]

I wish this song was butter so I can spread it on my toast.

[CawChampionshipWE]

not to sound corny but instead of just listen to the beat(although a wonderful beat) or begging for a false sense of acceptance through asking for a thumbs up why dont we just listen to the words and understand 'The Message"

[WhatTheRast]

ice cube?

[Entity94]

@WhatTheRast Ha, noooooo. ice cube used this but, but man if your saying ice cube and not grandmaster flash n the furious five you don't know hip hop, sorry dude, just have to say, oldschool for life. REAL HIP HOP DOESN'T DIE, ITS FOOOOEVVVVVAAAA

[WhatTheRast]

@Entity94 i didnt mean i thought it was ice cube, i mean like it sounded like check yo self, i know that he got it from this song coz obviously its a way older song, it was just the first time i listen to both of these songs 1 after the other.

its not just hip hop as long as its a good song it doesnt die

[hi124555656]

Part of the lyrics was sung in happy foot also, i thought that was hillarious! :)

[hi124555656]

thats really deep, and only the smart people would understand it.

[clammz]

sick of this bs

[VexxxMaster69]

3:44-4:51

...wow. That's deep.

[LTmattYT]

@VexxxMaster69 you fellas need to listen to like 90s gangster rap, like wu tang and stuff, if you like the message this has then youll like that too, not to put this down though, this is the shit. the difference between this and hardcore rap is this is a lot of melodic and funky while hardcore rap is lyrically based, you should listen to that though, its like an evolved less funky version of this

[VexxxMaster69]

@LTmattYT okay i will. respect.

[mynaijagal]

this song was straight from the streets, the realest rap i ever heard not all d wannabe gansta rap of today

[freshdavid4ever]

[connie18970]

VICE CITY !!! <3

[mackdanny170]

Shout out 2 the Pioneers, G.M. Flash & The Furious 5. My Homeboys from Da West Bronx, Where Hip Hop Started. Not the South Bronx.

[UDRF]

@mackdanny170 What are you talking about? Hip-hop started just south of the north-east of the bronx!

[mackdanny170]

@UDRF Nah UDRF, I was there from the beginning. Kool Herc is from Sedgwick ave. (west Bronx) GMF & The Furious 5 are from W.Tremont area. I appreciate your feedback though. Oh, Disco Fever (167th & Jerome) West Boogie.

[UDRF]

@mackdanny170 That's cool :) I was just being silly, for a guy from Iceland whether hip-hop started in west or south Bronx doesn't really mean much :P It's very cool though that you were able to watch it develop.

[mackdanny170]

@UDRF LOL...Cool man (pardon the pun) Iceland huh ? Thats AIGHT. But seriously, ever since KRS 1 came out with the South Bronx record, it really added 2 the misconception about the origin of Hip Hop.When I see him I'm gonna tell him. West Bronx pride man.

[zanemor]

Obviously 5 people get pushed under...=)

[eugenia628]

sounds mainstream these days...lol

[Ericksvision]

influential song. I recall that back in my high school years around 2003-2004 when playing the gta vice city game. This and some of the hits of Whodini and run DMC are a must for old school rap and hip hop lovers, like me!
