the song that got me into their music. i thought the beat was a breakbeat. i learned that they were a band, so i took notice from then on. i think this track was aimed subliminally at the Wu. just saying. i really liked M.A.R.S. performance here, but he isn't a Roots member & didn't put out much work.
@eutue quick question... why do you think this was subliminally aimed at the wu??? just curious... & if any of ya'll down with 420 or real hip hop with true lyricism, then check out my channel!!!

Malik B from The Roots should be on the Undun album. The Undun concept sounds like it comes from his mix tape called Street Assault. Also he had a concept single called "Mob Ties". I think it's on Itunes.
I know everyone write stuff like this... But Im just gonna write it any way because i feel at least one person will read it.
I'm a young rapper whos just trying to keep real Hip Hop alive. Im different to other rappers, Im not about bling, money and other fancy shit, Im all about flow, lyrics and delivery. Check me out I can prove Im not like 95% of todays wack rappers.

Yo, hip-hop fans be sure to check out our tracks. We're 2 young emcee's and a vocalist all with a love of hip-hop!! And any emcee's needing dope beats FREE, message me! Peace
ahhhh i remember this one....freshman year in college...played this every day!!!! by the way how many of yall went to college in the late 90's and early 2000's???? wasnt the college dorms just like the fucking project in the ghetto...from niggas selling and smoking weed to robbing people and burglarizing people.....my first 2 year in college was no joke ....im just realizing that shit!
@ronmatthews im from brooklyn, new york ...and went to a college in long island for only 2 years....but that shit was total ghetto shit....everyone from new york city went there and they were on some beef shit like we wasnt in college!!!!
@Dziczek1 I disliked it because I can't stand their music... I just feel that everytime I hear them I know rappers much better than them and they can be so awkward somethimes and it comes off as pretentuous.. just saying, it's my opinion
this is real hip hop at its best !....not the watered down bull that is played all day on radios and tvs everywhere....search the group "INRG - TAKE A PICTURE" for some more great hip hop songs!
@rookieangel88 I swear the first time I heard it I thought the same thing,espicallly because of the title and subject of the song,with the whole babys on album covers thing.

A blonde was swerving all over the road and driving very badly, so she got pulled over by a cop. The cop walked up to her window and asked, "Miss, why are you driving so recklessly?"
The blonde said, "I'm sorry sir, but wherever I go, there's always a tree in front of me and I can't seem to get away from it!"
The cop looked at her and said, "Lady, that's your air freshener!"

Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
so many aspiring artists on youtube. more bad than good. but if youre looking for an artist that is lyrically talented check this dude out. came across him a few weeks ago and have been following him ever since. just type in Available in HD Week 10- My Zone
I have heard all their albums and honestly I am not a fan of this group, but if you are looking for their best album then this is the one for you (Illadelph Halflife - 1996) it is the album that single handily made me a fan of the lead M.C. Black Thought, he was simply incredible and it is the album that stands out the most, they went real hard & it was so raw compared to anything else they've ever done.
@FINbball Illadelph Halflife is my all time favorite album. It combines some sick ass lyrical verses with the most bangin dark jazzy beats! Notice there's no cheesy ass hook in this song. Just 4 MCs tearin it up droppin verses about real life shit. This is real hip hop. Black Thought and Malik B were in their prime on this album. They haven't been the same since Malik left though.

It's crazy if you look at the difference between rap videos in this era and now. Early hip hop was all about being raw and shooting a video in the hood, while nowadays half of them take place inside, on, or near a private jet lol
Hey I'm a young artist, and I really would like everybody to check out my original ballad on my channel entitled "Why Can't I Live in Your Heart." It's a quiet storm ballad that sounds sounds like a cross between Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," Mariah Carey's "Can't Let Go," and Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last."
If you're down with hip hop or ganjah, then peep the vids on my channel, & if you're feelin them, goto datpiff.com & download the "Virginia's 4 Bubblers Mixtape" 4 free!!! Peace!
Towards the end of the video, there are some famous Philly DJs. Tat Money was with Steady B, Comic Kev used to be on Power 99 radio station, and Cash Money from the Cash Money and Marvelous (check out The Mighty Hard Rocker).

Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!

Illadelph Half Life is one of The Roots best works of art. Lyricism at its best

I have heard all their albums and honestly I am not a fan of this group, but if you are looking for their best album then this is the one for you (Illadelph Halflife - 1996) it is the album that single handily made me a fan of the lead M.C. Black Thought, he was simply incredible and it is the album that stands out the most, they went real hard & it was so raw compared to anything else they've ever done.

@FINbball Illadelph Halflife is my all time favorite album. It combines some sick ass lyrical verses with the most bangin dark jazzy beats! Notice there's no cheesy ass hook in this song. Just 4 MCs tearin it up droppin verses about real life shit. This is real hip hop. Black Thought and Malik B were in their prime on this album. They haven't been the same since Malik left though.

It's crazy if you look at the difference between rap videos in this era and now. Early hip hop was all about being raw and shooting a video in the hood, while nowadays half of them take place inside, on, or near a private jet lol

Hey I'm a young artist, and I really would like everybody to check out my original ballad on my channel entitled "Why Can't I Live in Your Heart." It's a quiet storm ballad that sounds sounds like a cross between Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," Mariah Carey's "Can't Let Go," and Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last."

Towards the end of the video, there are some famous Philly DJs. Tat Money was with Steady B, Comic Kev used to be on Power 99 radio station, and Cash Money from the Cash Money and Marvelous (check out The Mighty Hard Rocker).
