[ShereKhan77]

this hits just as hard now as it did then."savages try sweating culture,tell them i said this" i want to go back to like 92 to 96 before everything went "club" style radio play crap.i get a lil old school at noon and tune out.since then i want to say like maybe 4 artists in the circut somewhat drop sceince.on the radio now,nissan honday cevy was the realest release i heard on the air yet and that isnt like this.differnt times i guess but whats up with the overproduced sound we got now?

[gerryg1982]

[bastage26]

the Supercat version was a remix of Dem no worry me, Brand nubian also took the same sample, got all three records on vynil, also got PRT version of Ring the Alarm before FU-Shnicks lifted it. Both versions is from Tennor Saw

[RetardedPeopleLegion]

Is the singing part based on The Girl Is Mine by Michael Jackson

[yousatrick11]

The jam !! Wow !! This song needs to be played right now. Rap has gone to the doggs !! Wack.

[t1201971]

This was on the soundtrack to Nick Gomez' "Laws of Gravity"- shot in BK in '90.

[LemonAndYoghurt]

That rockbreak and the Youngholt sample mix well tgether, I loved that dance wise intelligent was doing in the video. Id like to learn it sometime.

[tosha723]

Poor righteous teachers were before there time, hip-hop dont get no better than this!!!! Wise was very dedicated to the music he definitley put Trenton on the map!!!!! I wish rap music today sounded like this, peace to all trentonians!!!!

[MKUltra999]

Better than Bonita Applebaum...They still need to do a video to this.

[RafixxPolska]

First of all..the track is called bonita applebum...and why do you think its better then this track of Tribe, why do you compare them, both tracks are great!

[MKUltra999]

That's the fukn point. They both are classics!!!

[RafixxPolska]

You have the same opinion ;), ok I understood you wrong ^^....

[RobMia]

BEYOND classic!

[newyorkowner]

dope big up to the black women of the planet earth!!!!

[LITTLER0CKAR]

bigpotent, you are correct. the hook is something like:

shakilya, girl, i love you girl

and i will never let you go no no

and if you love me back

just make sure that

you love me nice and slow

i'm looking for it too.

for more 90s alt hip-hop, check out chi-ali.

[bigpotent]

there is a song he made to shakiyla that does not sound like this. I think it is older than this. part of the hook goes shkiyla my queen. it is much slower than this.

[qwandiddy]

1991 Hip Hop Rules, PRT Needs an new album, Im tired of todays hip hop with tired ass Southern music with Soulja boy, lil wayne!!

[JiggaNigga9]

Thank god T-pain and Lil jon still keep hip hop real.......PSH!

[nerd4tw]

where as hip-hop gone? its gone to our hearts, where it should be.

[whitemikefl]

Easy Star!

[booster933]

what a great jam.....what the hell happened to hip-hop?

[Ocified]

Pure Poverty is one of the greatest rap albums that got no love...

[jasarzulu]

peace to the BLACK WOMEN

[TheAtotheK]

The beat for the Holy Intellect version was jacked so many times that it loses its appeal. The part II version reigns supreme in my book!

[andyhibbert]

in my opinion the holy intellect version is better

[taopaipai]

awesome tune

[smittied72]

supercat use this beat also. called. ( dem no worry )

[jodeci2010]

thank you I've been waiting for this
