I saw Latifah back in 1989. She was like 17 and blew the doors off the place. The headliner of that show was 3rd Bass. I know what you're thinkin'. Third Who? The opening act was Digital Underground and 2Pac was runnin' around sprayin' people with champagne.
i feel you on that Mr. Hassen 21, it's like they dont celebrate what hip hop used to sound like and these clowns dont care to pay homage to the dope shit that started it all, i think it's because the industry is now being ran by a bunch of interns and dl thugs,lol, i remember in the 90's when it was so creative, remember "rap city" on BET and YO! MTV RAPS?, if these new kids only knew huh?
this goes to the people in my community/we all need unity/or some proper knowledge to get us out of this hell/we need more than money to get us out of this jail/but how do i prevail/when everyone in the ghetto is destine to fail/do i over come my expectation/or do i just pass em like the legislation/either way im gonna make it or fail/and when my duties come im gonna take it or bail
Mr Hassen21, your absolutely right! They sold there selves for money and fame. They want people to see them bigger than life it's self. So, they put out crap rap!
wow amazing instru..i am serously blessed to have grown up in the era of when hip-hop was smooth reall talk and poetry and street hop..what we hear now on the radio is commercial pop culture bs gay ass shit that killed off real shitt with fakke ass shit bound to popularity controllin the populations youths growing up in these days redirecting there veiw of what hiphop is leaving them blind to the roots of how it began and the lifestyle..rhythm n poetry turned to flashy being famous celeb crap
yo... isn't there another song with this beat, or at least the same sample?? i definitely know i've heard this song before, but i'm almost positive it wasn't U.N.I.T.Y by queen latifah

where did we go wrong, seriously. you know shits fucked up when have cartoon rappers like waka floka in the industry. Now these days, people are too sarcastic and its hard to believe. YOUTUBERS all i ask is this, can we just get REAL.
I JUST LOVE THIS JAZZY HIP HOP INSTRUMENTAL, GETS YOUR MIND TO MEDITATING! (lol)! :D Ha Ha, I Remember Wrapping My Christmas Presents To This Piece! (Rofllmao)!
Yeh.., BET! This is thee SHIT!!! Please excuse my language, but if this joint don't bring a tear to your eye, then you don't even have a clue about what real HIP HOP is! Peeese!
U.N.I.T.Y that mean's unity, You can ask somebody else or you can ask me, This rhyme is not past tense but it seem's like it's present, Chilin outside and chilin with weather, I'm back again on youtube, Freestyling in this thang cause I am cool, Were living in a world under a new rule, I know it might seem kind of crule, Hip Hop is really live, Ritchousness is an aim; so it's good to strive, So I'm a go off like this and save some time. Geesey
yo This goes out to all of the guys listen up closley for it would be wise, if it wasnt for women we wouldnt be on this planet so how bout showing some more respect goddamn it,
true her flow did sound like krs one u know he mastered that positive flow and speaking on issues too bad rappers only only talk about gucci loui coupes ice and swagg nowadays i remember this video when i was in the 2nd grade my aunt loved this joint
Love You man! thanks for all the good music that will stand the test of time.What a blessing you been to us Kaygee, watching you rise to become this Super Producer makes me feel good inside Bro!
Hip Hop STARTED with beats like this (life story-tellin-soul muzik)....it ENDED with this club-fake homo thug shit (cars, fake "ice", clothes and -sorry 2say,- but bitches)
it didnt end that way, real hip hop is still around, but what people like the most, is going to be made the most. If youre a smart artist and u want to be big, u gon give the people what they axin for. Blaim the people
that's real talk. because there still is real good soulful hip hop out there...the lupe fiascos the commons the talibs kwelis. Just that the majority of the people don't appreciate it as much...they prefer the club bangers and the mainstream bullshit.
Yeah but the reason why most people like all this garbage music is b/c the industry (a and r's, radio, tv, clubs) shoves this down the throats of people at least 1 million times to the point where they accept it. For example songs that they could play, but deem as different gets blackballed. For example, little brother had the chance to be mainstream, but BET wouldn't play their songs b/c they thought it was too intelligent. So the media tells us what people like.
I kindaa agree with you there but if ppl want something different they go find it. I mean its not hard at all to find out about good emcees, all you gotta do is read.
@VictorVargas3185 i know right?...i'm 23 but i didn't really even find out about the rap genre period until '96-'97 (i grew up on gospel and christian rock lol)....i didn't get into true hip hop until '98-'00 and that's about where my limit is....unless it's a true hip hop artist, i can't listen to much of anything rap that came out after 1998
@abcdefghjklmnrst I agree... it's really sad. You have to forever keep the old school as feel good music and something you can always fall back on. This new generation has very few tracks that don't burn out right away. Very sad!!
@abcdefghjklmnrst ...I feel you so deeply on what you're saying. Shed a tear for the lives lost, the minds that are empty of any real knowledge of self and the time that many have wasted on chasing fulfillment in 'bitches and money', etc.
@FateUnderground c'mon son, you know what i'm saying....besides, acting tough behind a keyboard is pretty soft in itself....and it's "you're" not "your", f.y.i.
In my hood it used to be different we caused a little mischief but for the most part we listened fathers and and uncles went off to prison we know hes crazy but we still miss him I got lifted and spit it like a wiz kid twisted off of cheap OE liquid back then we still valued wisdom drifted off talkin about how it was and how it isnt the kids in my hood now are so lost they stroll off to the corner with no values and no cause it used to be him, you, and me I miss the unity.
Hey sensaye let me address da issue Kids with boogies in the noses A rose grows from the cement Black men look like Death The Breath of the Night is chilly Really we did lose are sense of direction h1n1 , virus, n infection infested Our stomache congested with cows flesh We out of control like a Lab rat on meth Let express how we feel Keep it real for the troops over in the battlefields...uno
their are very lil things in life that can make us feel one with ourselves and one with the world. and for me it's music, and the ocean. everytime i hear this song or this beat, my mind travels back in time to the good days of music and when it was ok to show love to your fellow friends and not ever really have to worry about walking down the street without getting robbed or getting killed over nothing. those days are all past us now and unfortunately now we live in a society full of negativity
