Too dope- dropped a smooth beat with sick lyrics- I listen to this song every morning. The face that my name is Carmel, makes it all that much better -3
94 was a great year! Probably one of the best years ever in rap. This song and album came out, nas dropped illmatic, common came out with the resurrection album, biggie dropped his album late 94 or early 95, keith murray dropped his debut album and on and on. Everything came together that year. The MC's were coming of age in their early 20s, the beats were getting better, rap was exploding internationally and mc's were starting to invent new styles every day. Unbelievable ERA! LONG LIVE THE 90's

@l0velytashia I used to eat red meat every day and then I gave it up and then I had some again recently and I was totally bloated! I mean, like, really bad!
To all producers who are looking for free records to sample and free drum kits and 9th, Khrysis, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Kev Brown, RZA-drum samples in wav. files, feel free to visit: hiphopdrums90.blogspot.com - it don't cost nothing.
THIS IS REAL HIPHOP starting my new year indulging in mental relaxation instead of that snapping music nonsensee for noww c.l smooooooooooooth pete rock the greatest
What happened to our people? Everytime I listen to this, I get mad at the bullshit out now. I remember back in the day, this was played in the club. And it was shown love. What the hell happened?
@koolanddagang12 :- why bother who makes the beat when its us who benefits? no use comparing two people who are great in their own right.....All our responsibility is that we listen and groove to this track so that sounds like these don't become extinct.
This song takes me straight to another world.. Whenever I feel down, depressed I give this a listen and I'll be somewhere better! Respect to Pete Rock & CL Smooth for creating some of the greatest tracks Hip Hop has seen - in my opinion! :-)
this track and "Escapism" of The Main Ingredient album were my favorite cuts! CL's butta flows and PR's soulful, ingenious production made them such an awesome duo. Pete Rock, hands down one top 10, nah eff that! Top 5 best hip-hop producers of all-time!
@fahgod I totally agree with you bro, in my opinion there are only two producers that are on Pete Rock's level and they are: Marley Marl & Dr. Dre. In one interview Kanye West said that he's a better producer than Pete Rock, after I heard that I thought of writing a petition to ban rappers from interviewing while intoxicated!
By lookin at the comments below, every good track here on youtube somehow people start mentioning names like soulja boy, new boyz, 50 cent n all em commercial rats.
why ?
this track is not worth it, if someone says it aint good, it aint good for theyre ears, let em haters be :D
gotta comment this amazing track
pete rock got skills to make you sit back and relax and slowly nod ur head and he makes yu think ! Like dat shiet :P
@00eddie0 happened I guess. It's easier for companies to make fast money off talentless fads, rather then invest in real talent for the long haul. People have to take back the industry by not supporting the marketed garbage, but the problem is, a good deal of people are buying mainstream garbage simply because it's there. They go along with it or don't know of non-mainstream material, for one reason or another.
@Brehization you know who else is garbage, Soulja Boy, that guy is an idiot in every sense of the word itself, & now I heard that Lil Boosie might be facing the death penalty for murder, no surprise there, it's rappers like them that give hip hop a bad name everywhere, now Pete Rock he is the real deal & what hip hop should sound like, not those stupid assholes who call themselves rappers & get themselves fuck up, we must get real hip hop back on the radio & fast before these clowns Kill it.
@Harlemlate yeah we need lyrics that actually make sense back on the radio, i coempletely agree, and beats that arent just absolutely rediculous, like that gay techo shit that is in every new song i fucking hear... it's really depressing for the hip hop world.... we need classic hiphop back... NOW
hip hop ain't dead yet. Not with tracks like these man.. the cats these days betta be strapped to a chair and have tracks like this blastin in the air!!
@merisanu3 , i don't think carmel city is a real place, cuz i live in ny and never heard of it and they mention ny alot in this song so if it is a real place it would probably be in here??
it's what ever your mental place of comfort is. It's that vibe you feel when you got paid, fresh dressed,whip shined up, bills paid up and you got that urge to wanna go bark at some birds. Feel me!
class of 91!!!!! Dam Sun not only do i think it will be up to our generation to save hip hop, but possibly the whole fucking planet if we don't get some sound reasoning in our leadership. fuck all that plantation logic and being idle while shit decays to a point of no return. Salute!!!
