And for those that think Wale was the 1st to rep DC.....The 1st vid that goes off is Question Mark Asylum. Reppin DC. Their album was classic. I always wanted another one from them. Never got it. Bus Stops my shit though. RIP yusef.
Yo, you wanna talk about them...Word up, it's sold on the side street. Western Ave, La Mirada Ave., in the Valley along Ventura Boulevard, Orange in P-Town, all around the Dakota Hotel in NorCal. When you get to Nevada, cruise Flamingo around those corners in front of The Orleans, hit 'em up at the Hawaiian Tropic in Paris, head along Boulder Hwy toward Henderson...
Their brand of music is so organic . I can remember being 12 and their "world ultimate " album being so effective to me . All these years later and its still so unique
And for those who might be curious...the video you see before The Nonce's video starts is Questionmark Asylum - Hey, Look Away (1995). It's on Youtube as well. Hip-hop was so exciting back in these days. You couldn't wait for the next video on Rap City. It all seems like a dream now. Never again will you be albe to watch a video show and get excited every time another video comes on. This is why I can't bare to watch these old videos. This shit fucks with you. R.I.P. to the good ol' days
@FS890 Damn man I'm right there with ya... I absolutely loved this album back in 95.. "World Ultimate" was such an awesome statement in underground hip-hop... I'm glad I ain't the only missing the old days when you could hear quality jams. I remember going to the record shop and loading up on a stack of CDs and being able to listen all the way through. Real hip-hop died in the mid-90s and now we have a generation that think lil wang is the tightest thing to ever hit the speakers. RIP indeed...
@FS890 so true. Rap City used to be programmed by young hip hop heads during that time. thats why it was so dope. and RIP to the homie Yusef Afloat. the Nonces album was a classic that needs to be re-released.
Damn this brings back nothing, but good memories...I swear, I used to think about getting picked up from high school on time so I could get home to Rap City. A brotha used to literally be able to watch 2 full hours of non-stop hip-hop back then. I knew Rap City was over when they knocked it down to 1 hour some years back. Damn I miss the good ol' days. The Nonce was one of my favorite groups back then. I wish they were still around. R.I.P. Yusef Afloat.
thank you frothe got damn post! bought the single when it came out in i believe 1994. the early 90s was great before the coastal wars began resulting in two talents to never be heard from again.
Yes, we know what that means in cockney slang but here in America, we don't really keep other countries slang terms in mind when using a word. So keep posting your idiotic fucking comments like so many others on these guys' videos.
Looking at your profile it looks to me like youre not a fan of hip hop so that means you stumbled upon this video by accident while searching youtube for "nonce". Shame on you...Shame on you.
@ratm1211 Yep, you're right, I did search for a "Nonce" I was hoping to see some footage of a nonce getting a fucking good hiding... something that this cunt singing needs!!!
i always called these cat the west coast tribe called quest..i miss these days...
