[uofmrules1]

I hadn't heard this song since high school. I heard this first, then my dad had an oldies station on and I heard "I'm Your Puppet" for the first time, and told him about it being used in a rap song, and he just laughed.

[Ronald6141]

This punk took an exquisite, soulful classic by James and Bobby Purify... and threw up his mediocre crap all over it. What a drag.

[MUSIC4LIFESINCE1995]

@Ronald6141 Hater

[Ronald6141]

@MUSIC4LIFESINCE1995 Hey man, I don't hate the dude. He just needs to put the hard work into creating his OWN sound. That's what an artist does. Anyway... to each his own.

[lionkingfan]

@Ronald6141 it wasnt just him sampling old songs.tahts what most rappers did when this song was made.they usually just sampled old songs from the 60s and 70s and altered them and mixed them with other old songs.

[Ronald6141]

@lionkingfan You and Music4life are right. I was too hard on the man, and I most definitely should NOT have called him a punk.

Thing is, I recognize the skills --- "Sitting in The Park" is outstanding, a really tight jam. My real point is, if you're going to sample the hard-crafted work of others, you've got to trade UP on it. The borrowed work you're threading into your own has to get deeper, richer, more elegant, more significant. That's the objective.

But I still dig the guy.

[elmoskater]

@Ronald6141 his aint mediocre the lyrics are heaps good

[George77791]

Geeezzuus,It brings me back to 80-s,loke to GTA sa

[johnjuaerz11]

the best jam ever!!

[johnjuaerz11]

the best jam ever!!

[TrueTalkTV]

Notice how many people (myself included) say how they enjoy real, old school hip hop instead of this GARBAGE they play on the radio now?

ALL of us can't be wrong. The rap game needs a makeover. Kids without a brain may listen to Lil Wayne, but people with a real taste for good music listen to this.

[SuperOmnicron]

@TrueTalkTV ...You aint never lied..THUMBS UP on that comment. Need a hip-hop/rap infusion.....never thought i would be wishing for the "good old days" of rap!

[bigeers11]

@TrueTalkTV I actually have a radio station in arizona that plays this song all the time but everything you said is very true



[erictheg13]

@bigeers11 i lisen to that station all the time its 99.3 right ?

[moneylbc213]

@TrueTalkTV this is good music i like it but this dude sick jocked eazy e

[ChickenConPolloHD]

@TrueTalkTV Amen man.

[BeenaBee]

@TrueTalkTV Real talk, stupidity is now a fashion statement for alot of people...

[tangpac]

@TrueTalkTV The thing you don't seem to understand is that the rap game isn't run by you and the 66 people that liked your status. It's ran by the 50+ million kids watching lil wayne's videos. The game is run by top 40 radio stations. Music like this does not make the top 40 charts. You know why? because this is not the 90's anymore.! We are in a new era. Music will NEVER EVER, sound like this again. so you can be miserable and keep complaining or ignore lil wayne and listen to this peacefully.

[TrueTalkTV]

@tangpac I don't like it, but I have to agree with your 2 comments. Music HAS changed. And just like our parents before us, we have a problem with the direction music has taken.

The difference, however, is that we (or at least I) can appreciate music of my parents' generation. The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey, The Dramatics, Michael Jackson, etc. Can you HONESTLY say that guys like Lil Wayne or Soulja can compare to the legends I just named, OR to 80s/90s rap? There is no way.

[tangpac]

@TrueTalkTV bcause it wont change, beats dont sound like this anymore. Rappers dont rap this simple anymore. We progressed, its just like when your grandpa or even your mom or dad didnt like this. Its not that this was bad, it just wasnt their generation. Some people transcend generations, you might be from this generation but like 90s music. You transcend generations but theres not enough people like you to give the rap game a makeover. "thats just the way it is, things will never be the same"

[thisisdayton]

@TrueTalkTV As a person who loves all kinds of music it makes me wonder when you say "All if us can't be wrong." okay well there are many people who enjoy Lil Wayne, probably just as much Hi-C so how can they all be wrong? I personally prefer this over the newer rap, but that doesn't mean I think its bad, its just not for everyone.

[SickassNikes1]

@thisisdayton fuck mainstream music. all sucks nowadays

[kodyro]

that time :

classic music go to rap

nowadays:

all music to dubstep / dnb / electro

[MrDreamdweller]

[capimex]

[capimex]

[rigogurt]

[sdchucks13]

this is a bad ass song

[ri067953]

Both of you are wrong. The video was shot at the Roadium swapmeet off of Crenshaw and Redondo Beach Blvd in Torrance Ca. That is where they used to sell the quick/hi-c/ 2nd II None mixtapes like crazy. I used to be there all most every weekend buying those tapes.

[zombiecancers217]

i THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE A FUCKING SWAP MEET lol do any like rich people go thier cause thiers bomb shit thier

[1massivemike]

reneeroxy wtf are you talking about Slauson & 81st Street?!?! Dumb nigga your way off those two streets dont even cross fool. The Slauson Swapmeet is on Slauson between Wastern and Normandie, do you even stay in the hood?!?! Cuz if you dont why are u even speeking on it you lame ass nigga!!

[reneeroxy]

[FirstStreetTV]

What song is sampled at 2:43?

[stapledtodeath]

lol, you're an idiot.  it's lodi dodi.

[makaveli9695]

no, it is la di da di......lime wire isn't always right fool

[makaveli9695]

its sampling la di da di by slick rick, but only the first copies of the record had that part of him singing so its really hard to find.

[GSoldierNWA]

It's a short part of "Teenage Love", by Slick Rick.

[carlormcc]

Slick Rick was sampled at 2:43 LaDi DaDi - response to the previous question below me.

[marselus88]

what's that sample from ? please answer if U know ;)
