[joshua1813]

Nas and Az are all I think of listening to this guy

[Tom360degrees]

Classic 1996/early 1997 underground hip hop before even the underground start getting weak. Stretch & Bob always threw this record on 89tech9 and Hot97

[knightclassic1]

NAS should've did this Beat.

[cradleofjohannes]

People under the Stairs - Give Love a Chance

Peace from Finland

[UnDaGrOunDKrew805]

yo the shiiet iz ill Kidd.!! Reall hip hop no doubt...

[sovibrant]

@Strongtunz07 and so much luckier than those growing up now... Its funny, if you try and think about how many truly great hip hop tunes came out of era 2000 - 2010, you will really ifnd yourself struggling. So much crap. It should be henceforth known as 'The uninspiring decade of sellouts.'

[NellStalgya]

classic for real,pea ce from holland

[tkxl777]

word..

[BradBRAUNSTEIN]

Oh ya and NAS's is like GOAT.

[BradBRAUNSTEIN]

This track is so sick!!! I love the beat, and the L. the head toucha fucking kills it, he like nas but lyrically playful.

[MaxMuggins]

I always thought L Da Headtoucha did this track more justice than Jay-Z did. Line for line this was amazing.

[theterriblesky]

@Strongtunz07 yeah dude, i won't listen to anything past 98, unless it's wu tang. i rock the death metal tunes all day but when L comes on... it's fucking magic

[sbstnyri]

2 people are obviously fucking retarted

[qwandiddy]

@sbstnyri 2 of them stupid asses who dislike this are Fucking stupid fans of Fake retarded crap ass rappers: T.I., Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Wacka Flacka

[anatolianINVASION]

The great thing is all these amazing 90's hip hop songs contain samples of amazing songs made in the 50,60,70's. I believe it is our task to carry this torch and pass it on to the next generation.

They (the corporate world) are trying to dead 'black music'

But DJ Premier said it best. "underground will live forever.. we are just like roaches, never dying always living'.

[downsideuptv]

@Strongtunz07 we know what good hiphop sounds like :) funny though when alot of 15 year olds n younger kids hear this ish? they fuckin love it!!! an wonder howcome they don't hear it on the tv/radio that makes me know this ish is AMAZING (bigupz those who know an those who r just finding out this is the best kept secret right here oh what? HIPHOP! :D)

[drumatic]

yo, it's not just the music, it's the EMCEES! Dudes trying to make a quick buck. Where are the ARTISTS? The POETS? The LYRICISTS? The Individuality? Everybody rappin' and rhymin' these days sound contrived. 2010 is the rebirth of hiphop! KicDrum Products ++ DRUMZ.1

[liveguy]

[avalonconsulting91]

I wonder if Real Hip Hop will ever come back...I hope so....

[DawgPound85]

I gave up hope long time ago....my music died and is gone for good.....it's sadder than I can express here!

[illadvised50]

It's hard to believe this is already 12 years old. Man. The new classics.

Dj premier :)

[VinylRulezzz]

Produced By Vinyl Reanimators

[McHawkone]

nice one....

[shinunicron]

97' was a great year.

[DEEPJUNGLES]

I think my day going to work or doin wuteva would go alot easier if i'm listen to this without puttin a cd or a tape on a player and with simply just changing a radio station and raw hip hop would automatically play..geez...how hard can it be to just play real hip hop music on the radio. fuck i should build a underground radio station with a monkey for a DJ and just teach this monkey to spin tracks all day, and all i have to do is pay him bananas... FUCKing Aye!!

[garasa]

[KRYLONADDICT822]

i never been to ATL, but ill tell ya ill never leave chicago permanently haha im too deep in its graff scene. this really aint got shit to do with your comment, but i thought id throw in my 2 cents. its a damn shame they still dont play these hidden treasures on even independent radio stations though
