  • Praying Mantis on the court and I can't be beat, but yo, Tip, what's up with the boots on your feet? Got Timbers on the toes and this is how it goes...(Love how Q-Tip laughs in there...) :)

  • how many other guest mc's have the boys put on thier records?

  • this track is sooooo tough!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @HipHopFan4Life1

    I read the story of how he came up with it in an interview. He rearranged Q-Tip's freestyling (yes, he freestyled this shit high as hell), and the Beastie Boys wrote to his ideas, so that is where the interplay comes from.

  • @HipHopFan4Life1 Techincally hard as Steel

  • At home in Switzerland 1994: OMG, thanks for Beastie Boys! They let me forget all that Eurodance Shit!!! :D

  • @sounds73 hells ya on the euro dance shit

  • I always loved this song 'cause it sounds like Q-tip is freestyling his rhymes

  • @jazzhands79 I think he is. The Beastie's wrote and performed their lyrics around his freestyling.

  • "Got the Timbo's on the toes" tip

  • One of the best tracks from either group. Great collaboration. I still remember the day I heard this song for the first time and was like "Who's this? Beastie Boys? with Q-Tip?" How could it not be a great song?

    but you gotta dig man DIG

    Backpack shit too lol

  • @NYhope07

    not really early hiphop more like renaissance.

  • @chepe371 Golden Age of Hip hop....there hasn't been a renaissance yet.

  • @Armeniacolombia29

    2nd Golden Age, lol, compromise...

  • @chepe371

    I wish man lol It's been in decline since late 90's

  • @Armeniacolombia29 well you have some cats like The Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, U-N-I, Pac Div, Mos Def, Kid Cudi and few other cats trying to bring around another Golden Age in recent years...

    give it time...the masses will tire of the bs and crave the real shit once again

  • The Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, UNi Pac Div, Kid Cudi are all WHACK

  • @nemesis700 troll all you want...you just sound like someone who is stuck in the past and refuses for there to be a future...hip-hop has it's roots but it still needs to evolve...if artists were still rapping like back in '94 it would just be boring and would've died off like disco

    so do hop off the nuts of my comment unless you have some logic to back up your negative 2 cents

  • that would be true, cept they actually ARE rapping like the 90s. so in fact, they really ARE boring. same vocab, same generic flows, same rhymes, different beats. now tell me playboy, which one of them actually brought something new to the game?

  • @nemesis700 but back in the 90's you could've said that about a lot of dudes

    especially when it came to some East Coast rappers Rakim was ahead of of his time man

    basically their styles are ROOTED but not exactly the same...Mickey Factz, in my opinion is one of the most underrated rappers out there...it really disappoints me that people dick ride Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne yet don't even know who he is

    at least their Cudi though...that dude is bringing something else to the table

  • im hearing nothing ILL from the cats you mentioned. if we talking about modern hiphop than Shad, Elzhi, One Be Lo, Broken CLock, Educated Consumers, Ugly Duckling, People Under The Stairs, Kool Keith, Mf Doom, Tiye Phoenix, Invincible, Psyntific, Akrobatik, Jay Electronica, Little Brother and some others are the only ones holding it down

  • @nemesis700 Dude, I've been banging MF Doom since I was 14 from watching Adult Swim growing up and from a perspective of someone who grew up with a father who worked in the industry I can tell you that one problem that a lot of those artists have is that they can't move with the times

    even Common kept it real and still made a club-banger...everyone doesn't want to be serious all of the time...there is a rapper by the name of Z-Ro who keeps shit real but hasn't blown up bc all of his shit is sad

  • hahaha the artists i mentioned dont move wit the times? you want them to make a club banga? hahaha son, i cant take you seriously.

  • @nemesis700 and that's why they don't have the hype or the recognition that dudes with not even a quarter of their talent have...

    they fear losing their initial fan base if they try anything mainstream...if you're a fan then you're a fan through thick and thin

    you seem like the type to give props if they're strictly underground...I was jamming ATCQ back when I was barely able to hold a conversation and I'll still jam their music all the way through Busta's Lament

    then again, wtf do you know?

  • well, if the first Golden Age was 86-91. than you can say that 93-97 was its rennaisance. or a '2nd Golden Age. you went from Rakin, PE, Ultramag to, Nas, Wu Tang, Mobb Deep,

  • yeah I didn't really give a time frame either but yeah golden age is the best to describe

  • @NYhope07

    haha ya i just bein a dick :p

  • this song is fuckin awesome!

  • shes the cheese and i'm the maccoronii!!!

  • oh my gawd ' 1 ,2 OH MY GAWD ''

  • this is tha song to get high too

  • @out4revenge Seshed to this at least 100 times easy haha.

  • shes the cheese and im the mac dude i crack this shit everyday

    \

  • Where are the Grand Funk Railroad samples? I can't hear them. Anyone know?

  • I have to say that I have loved this song ever since I first listened to it! I think that this is a prime example of one of the illest collaborations! Q-Tip's lyricism is perfection. Beastie boys, classic as ever. This is what true hip hop is all about!

  • Change the lyrics dude. It's "Nigga" not "Nigger". There's a difference.
