@YoungGullyBoy There's an old school Public Enemy joint about "Channel Zero". Its in part about allowing your mind to be occupied with mindless, mainstream, useless, media nonsense... "She watch Channel Zero". Most of the crap that gets played today is straight from "Channel Zero".
1st time I saw this video was on Pump It Up with Dee Barnes. My family didn't have cable then so no Rap City. That was one of the only shows to see rap videos back in the day. Had to set the VCR cause it would be coming on at 2 or 3 in morning.
Years from now. Writers, teachers will reference Hip Hop. This song will be high on the list. One of the great songs that defined one of Hip Hop's most beautiful Golden Era's.
This is so damn hot!! What are these guys and the others of this era? The fans of authentic, pure, creative music should BOYCOTT this sh*t that's out now!
Back in tha day when this song was ou, Lisa Lisa had a song out (I think it waz Let the Beat hit'em), that had the same beat. I was so upset at the club when it was Lisa Lisa not this.
BTW Large Pro was mad young when he did this song.
man listen i remember when nis came out i was 4 see i got a good memory en music always been my confort zone like my place were i could jus vibe out ne way i remember dis song cause it was when my mom was doin good buyen us gear food a crib jus b4 i was sent away to foster homes... she got by-polar en ,me bein na oldest of 4 u kno i went thru it but above all songs this ones sticks out cause even tho im 22 i can say those were good times until shit feel apart but dis a hit 1
i beg to differ i turn 18 this year and i know all about this. Souls of mischief, Skee-Lo, and more. Keep hope and real hip hop alive. I agree on the Lil Wayne comment.
@tuchesuavae right! The most popular hip hop today is all about nothing - women, money, and being "hard"... It's great that you have a broader appreciation for music... The music you identify with while you are young will stay with you throughout your life.
Oh my god this is classic rap and some dumb ass who is obviously under 20 types wack.. LOL learn your history idiot before you end up in shackles agin.
I think dis dude really likes hip hop cuz how would he know a shit load of artists of the past and comment and watch all the real hip hop videos? Maybe he's trying to fool all of us......or he really hates hip hop. lol
DAMN!!!! This brings back so many memories. 7th grade and listened to it all the way until I graduated High School. This is when Hip Hop was Hip Hop. Man thanks for putting this on. You can't find anything like this today.
I don't know who the chick Large Prof is talkin' about, but he put her on blast. And every man has dated/married a chick he felt this way about. Matter of fact if I said just put up her first name, there would be thousands of responses. LOL
This is it here! Ribomatic, Large Pro didn't lose it, you have to search him out. He'll pop up on credits for beats all the time. He's just low key. He's not going anywhere. He's one of my top 3! Pete Rock, Large Pro, & DJ Premier! No doubt!
how did large pro lose it? he be puttin out quality joint still, and he's most definitely an ill DJ, gigs all over the place in NY. who from that era is getting the due props now anyway?

The sample is from "Think Twice" by Donald Byrd. I know Tribe used the same sample in "Footprints". Seems someone else used it also, can't remember.
