mp3's turned the music biz into a racket for agents and producers to scurry to make the most money for the least amount of effort. The 1992 audience is gone, artistic motivation is useless. It's all about quick 3-4 min "today jingles" based on what once was, to turn a quick buck in the hopes of a "hit." Back when radio music mattered, everything was put out to compete for the billboard, today, if a song manages to actually be liked by a lot of people, we download it.
Classic. This song was middle of the road when it came out but if it came out TODAY it would be the best thing out. Shows you how crappy the music is today.
music died after the turn of the century... the sounds u here on Tv today are just 4 personal benefits. No current "Artist" of this generation gives a shit about there muisc, if they can make a pound of u, they will... even if there "music" has no soul
Of course it is great now in 2009. When this song came out back in the day, there was so much great music it wasn't all that. It just shows you how shitty today's music really is that a middle of the road song when it came out in the 90's is the BEST compared to anything coming out today.
idk. i've been listening to this song since it came out and i listen to all sorts of underground and old school/golden age hip hop, as well as a plethora of music outside the realm of hip hop, and this song still blows me away more than even tracks like "NY State of Mind", "Electric Relaxation", "Come Clean" (Jeru The Damaja -- and i am a HUGE Jeru fan), etc. the only song that was as big as this back then that really beats it imo is "They Reminisce Over You".
now that opinion is obviously unpopular, but i would think that it would be easily agreeable that this was at least on par with most of those tracks, even if slightly below.
obviously you didn't watch it because you would realize there are no "Negroes," as you call them, in my video. it is just me, a white male, discussing race relations from my perspective without condemning African Americans, but rather letting ignorant racists like yourself know that just as the brothers from the 60's didn't stand for white racism against blacks, i won't stand for black racism against whites and i will speak out every time in a completely non-racist manner.
great song. new found glory did a cover of this that is superb. i'm not a fan of new found glory but it really is something you should check out if you like this song.
Yes, my roots run deep in Tennessee...My Great grandfarther was born in 1870, 5 years after the civil war(1865).Of course, more than likely his parents were slaves.
No, it didn't begin in Africa. That's kinda the cool thing, is that hip-hop invariably blossoms, in every country, from that country's minorities. Germany's hip-hop, for instance, started with the Turks; the US's hip-hop came from black-Americans; France's hip-hop came from Algerians.
Human being began in Africa. The African man is the oldest. We have been here a long time. The world is not new to us. We are very creative. We created the pyramids, mathematics, Jazz, hip-hop, rap, rock & roll, soul, science. If you look everything that has been created in the world, we have a major influence on that creation. Don't be side track by your blind world. Remember, everything you see on television is no the truth. United States of America wants you to think that way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
are u kidding. this is by far the most corniest, worst group in hip hop. this guy's style is hideous. this group is the epitome of all wackness. makes me wanna puke
If thats really what you think, you need to have a good read about the history of hiphop and appreciate that everything took influence from somewhere. On a personal note you a nob!!!
it's called "Muvee." it is a really restricting program, but it does make good videos. i made this one, my first HH Vs. Rap video and my They Reminisce... video on it. i use Windows Movie Maker now though.
you're so right. AD is one of the most slept on hip hop groups ever. easily in my top 3 groups, plus they're better now than ever. they have a new rapper on top of the one they have already named One Love who is sick, plus Speech got better. you should check out Lotta Things To DO. that track is ILL!
true people do sleep on them, they one of my tops also. Nobody even talks about them and real hip hop in the same sentence as much as we should. Sad cause they have kept it real from the beginning. thanks for the info and yes i've heard Lotta Things To DO, track is phat :)
a 10y.o. kid who was near an expert at horseshoes charged me $5 for the secret behind how to play and win... that was the easiest $5 that kid ever made! he was just a avid player of the game! swindler!!! (LOL!!!)
i doubt it. you probably heard it as a kid. it was all over the radio/TV in 1992-93, maybe early 94 or so. also, they show it from time to time on MTV/BET and their networks. the album went 5X plat. in 1992.
Yeah, that's probably it... I never watched many music videos, but I did listen to a lot a radio. Great song, by the way. This is the one that got me into Arrested Development.
i don't think amuke is a real word. anyways, if you are trying to say what i think, (probably meant amok) i disagree. this song is about going back to a simpler time. "take me to another place/take me to another land/make me forget all that hurts me/let me understand your plan." they are not saying "everything is bad," they are saying "let's make everything good" in a sense. in the eyes of AD the glass isnt half empty its half full. so basically, if it is bad, they aren't looking at it that way.
eboyd, I don't think it is necessary to correct others poor grammar and spelling.. the internet is informal, misspelling words it often intentional. Also, interpretations of a songs meaning are just that-- interpretations
i wasn't correcting his grammar. i didn't know what he was saying so i let him know that i was unsure. i did word that a little rudely and i apologize. anyways, i was just letting him know what the INTENDED meaning is.
My bad man, I didnt do too well in English. But was real good in math and such.
You are right I guess I did miss the true point of the song. Times used to be better. The place we are in now is very complex and difficult. Its actually sad my friend...
another reason why this is so great... it is AUTHENTIC, its not this pretentious wannabe gangstar shit. Its REAL and the music shows it's root, and these roots are not from the street, but the african continent. Masterpiece.
Just saw those guys live in Rotorua, New Zealand and they were all off the hook, especially UB40 and Arrested Development. The Perth show will be well worth it!
For 'Raggamuffin'? UB40, Maxi Priest, The Wailers, Arrested Development, Katchafire. I went to the Melbourne Concert for my 21st, 12/02/2008. Was amazing. 'AD' did this song so well.
you probably haven't heard much. it's understandable. the new mainstream "hip hop" (not really hip hop, just BS rap) fucking sucks. i could show you plenty of good stuff if you were interested.
man, THERE IS LIKE A WHOLE NETWORK OF US!!! check this out: myspace/realhiphopforever1520, youtube/realhiphop4ever and also youtube/groups_layout?name=RealHipHopForever. check us out at all of these and please JOIN US!!! we are OVER 100 STRONG and there are MILLIONS of others out there!!!! join the youtube group, then get at me for more info.
with the shit out now it must piss off african americans to be associated with 50 cent and soulja boy and its discrimanating for rich people to put out shit like soul plane whos your caddy and brats the movie and expect people to think its funny and pay to go see it...why must i grow up in a time where you cant find a decent band or group without hearing about the by word of mouth or stumbling across them online
thsi is a really great song. I happened apon this song by watching the greatest songs of the 90's. i wish they played stuff like this now. my generation of music sucks. the objectifing women must stop.
that list was pretty bad too but this song was definitely a highlight of that list. believe me, even though i am probably in your generation myself (i'm only 20) i did get a chance to listen to the music back then and there was just as much bullshit then as now. the difference is that back then the bad stuff was less known and it is easier to record now, plus now the good music is ALL on the underground. get at me and i'll tell you about some good new hip hop, plus this group's new album.
i'm sorry, i haven't been on in a little while so when i get a chance, hopefully tomorrow, i will do so. BTW, both of those are two of my favorite AD songs.
LOL!!! yeah, the scratching on Mama's Always On Stage is infectious and Dawn Of The Dreads has my second favorite bass line ever (Sugarhill Gang - "Rapper's Delight"/Chic - "Good Times" is my #1).
Classic and Beautiful!! Be Proud Black People!!Don't worry, people who dis' this cut just don't get it. As usual, what THEY don't understand, they ridicule, UNLESS THEY CAN EXPLOIT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
wow! shows how much you know. they are still making music and doing decently well. they have a new album and the lead single is on BETJ all the time. they have been big in Japan and Germany for quite a while now. and no, they weren't inspired by that show. how would that be possible when their group has been in the process of getting a deal since 1988, a year after that show started, which means their group has been around longer than the show, they just weren't recording yet. dumbass.
oh really? by who's standards? yours and Blender Magazine's? the magazine who is known for putting 50 Cent and Britney Spears at the top of their rankings? it's almost an honor to be known as one of Blender's Worst 50 Of All Time, that's how much of a joke they are. you probably quite closely follow what they say, right? like a drone to their every word. are you a serious follower of MTV? you must be by the way you are speaking. either that or you just hate a positive message.
Yes, they're a total joke. Trying to point out the flaws of black culture and how racism is stil lalive today. That's a total joke to you kid? Do me a favor, stick to talking about baseball.
Dear Sir, This is an Arrested Development representation. Would you kindly take your negative dogma elsewhere? We here in the internet world would kindly appreciate it. Cheers, ADAM. (82 Alexander Ct. Caerphilly CF83 1RN, WALES, UK)
AD actually wrote REAL hip-hop and not about how they'rew going to go to clubs and "bang some hoes." You keep saying Ad is an accidental self-parody, so is every rapper today. They're all trying to be innovative and creative when all they do is come up with the same ol' mainstream crap like In Da Club and Soulja Boy. AD took a stand and did something CREATIVE, you obviously mis-interpeted every one of their songs. They're not saying to go down to Tennessee to get beaten by white folk.
This song was, is and will be Awsome. It never was middle of the road. Today's music may be crappy compared to yestedays standards but yesterdays music also didn't live up to the standards that came before them.

you probably haven't heard much. it's understandable. the new mainstream "hip hop" (not really hip hop, just BS rap) fucking sucks. i could show you plenty of good stuff if you were interested.
eboyd32 4 years ago
Holy crap, FINALLY someone who agrees with me man!
I HATE rap today. I have NO respect for it what-so-ever
I miss old rap of like, the 90's when it would make sense you know what I mean? lol

thsi is a really great song. I happened apon this song by watching the greatest songs of the 90's. i wish they played stuff like this now. my generation of music sucks. the objectifing women must stop.
neurosergon 4 years ago
that list was pretty bad too but this song was definitely a highlight of that list. believe me, even though i am probably in your generation myself (i'm only 20) i did get a chance to listen to the music back then and there was just as much bullshit then as now. the difference is that back then the bad stuff was less known and it is easier to record now, plus now the good music is ALL on the underground. get at me and i'll tell you about some good new hip hop, plus this group's new album.
eboyd32 4 years ago
I see where you're comming from. If you could point me in the dirrection of the good new hip hop and ad's new album, i'll be greatful.

i'm sorry, i haven't been on in a little while so when i get a chance, hopefully tomorrow, i will do so. BTW, both of those are two of my favorite AD songs.
eboyd32 4 years ago
shut up! mine too! i played my AD tape so much it snapped on me. too much of a good thing, i guess!
n2cora 4 years ago
LOL!!! yeah, the scratching on Mama's Always On Stage is infectious and Dawn Of The Dreads has my second favorite bass line ever (Sugarhill Gang - "Rapper's Delight"/Chic - "Good Times" is my #1).

Essentially a band inspired by the TV show "A Different World."
It is no surprise that they didn't last long.
boknowsbaseball 4 years ago
wow! shows how much you know. they are still making music and doing decently well. they have a new album and the lead single is on BETJ all the time. they have been big in Japan and Germany for quite a while now. and no, they weren't inspired by that show. how would that be possible when their group has been in the process of getting a deal since 1988, a year after that show started, which means their group has been around longer than the show, they just weren't recording yet. dumbass.

Stop it. They're a total joke.

oh really? by who's standards? yours and Blender Magazine's? the magazine who is known for putting 50 Cent and Britney Spears at the top of their rankings? it's almost an honor to be known as one of Blender's Worst 50 Of All Time, that's how much of a joke they are. you probably quite closely follow what they say, right? like a drone to their every word. are you a serious follower of MTV? you must be by the way you are speaking. either that or you just hate a positive message.

maybe you are a suburban white kid trying to rebel? go waste your time somewhere else kid.
eboyd32 4 years ago
Yes, they're a total joke. Trying to point out the flaws of black culture and how racism is stil lalive today. That's a total joke to you kid? Do me a favor, stick to talking about baseball.

AD actually wrote REAL hip-hop and not about how they'rew going to go to clubs and "bang some hoes." You keep saying Ad is an accidental self-parody, so is every rapper today. They're all trying to be innovative and creative when all they do is come up with the same ol' mainstream crap like In Da Club and Soulja Boy. AD took a stand and did something CREATIVE, you obviously mis-interpeted every one of their songs. They're not saying to go down to Tennessee to get beaten by white folk.
