@keoni158 -- my user name means that I do not isten to mainstream radio rap .. I stopped listening to the radio in 1999... rap & hip-hop are not the same thing anymore.. thats my opinion. before 99, rap & hip-hop were on the same page.. but once the industry started to get jiggy, tipsy & crunk, I stopped listening.. I turned my attention to the underground, bc hip-hop did not die.. it went underground.
Reminiscing hip hop, when the old school beats used to drop/ Now its all bullshit, back then it was not/ So listen to the words I express/You be the judge if Im the best/No cursing on my flow cause I wanna be different from the rest/ And if u try to test, I'll lay your butt to rest.
@MrMalcolmx15 Not only on a typical day, but on just got through pouring down, rainy arse, post-lights the only life on the drip-drop while you drive streets night! RIP (relax, rejoice, rock -in-paradise) Heavy D, Steve, Meechi, Orletta and all my habesha family who entered into eternity 2011!
So good. Notice how songs on the radio are looked down on as 'old' after a month, and you have people listening to this after 19 years. True sign of a classic.
i was born and raised in san francisco, one of the hip hop capitals of the WORLD, and we are down to say this is one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
The sad thing is it's taken less than a generation to destroy Great Hip Hop Music and all we have now is SHIT Hop posing as Our Music and it couldn't be further away from the Soul of the street than it is now.
yo thnks 4 gettin this up dis is like sm classic stuff here man yo u culd rap to this i have a game that has this song nd i block out all the otha songs jus to listen to this

The thing about this song is that it actually does have a nostalgic feel to it, at least to me. So it's title has always been appropriate.
