[1984chupacabra]

fuuuuck. This was a mystery song to me until JUST RIGHT NOW! I couldnt find this song for a decade. Now that i found it its not as dope as i thought it was 10 years ago lol. Im still happy i found it.

[cdub153340]

This was the start of the bubble gum rap era with the party songs and shiny suites, but even this bubble gum shit s better than 90% of the rap music today. Bring back the bubble gum era (at least) lol

[Kimmica20]

Awww I remember this like it was yesterday. Memories!!

[BreeSoSeksi]

OH man I used to bump this joint back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This jam used to have me shaking it lol. What happened to good artist like this?????????? Man Billy killed on those vocals!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bouges ton boule gros

[cibida1]

[marselus88]

[MOBROOKS]

0:00-0:28 = dope the rest of the video? not so much.

[centralcoastbum]

@MOBROOKS i agree 100%!!! i only saved this video for the begging

[phoen99rising]

I think this is the only video that shows SERIOUS {true perfection of scream}

[phesterjr]

Whatever happened to Serious anyway? He was one of the original members of Flipmode.

[kelliagirl]

love this old school!!!!!!

[ashley35211x]

I love You Tube. Thanks to whoever posted this. The hook to the song would be in my head randomly for years and I couldn't remember what song the hook was from. Now I finally know. :)

[jrag1000]

00:29 what happened?!

[oscardy]

That hook is sick

[SIMERRA1]

Hell yeah jbsmg...this that joint

[shauntee77]

This song is still the shit til this day. I miss hip hop when it was like this back then.

[shockiest]

i like the flow on this!"

[brandedapa]

brings back memories!

[redsonya100]

After all these bloody years this song is still DA SHEEEEEEEEEEEYAT!!!

Hope you come back on the scene Billy!!!

[phesterjr]

She aint worrying about music no more. Last I read on wikipedia she's out tha business and is attending to her kids and gives private singing lessons. But I don't trust everything I read off the internet. I also heard that she use to date Method Man in the early 90's. Now that bugged me out.

[lpc0615]

Why does that bug you out that Billie dated Method Man....if that is true? They seem like they make a cute couple.

[phesterjr]

Method Man and Billy Lawrence? And we're talking about Method Man in his "Bring The Pain" days when his attitude was much different from how you see him today? Because you know Billy dropped her 1st album in '94. Nah, I don't think so.

[lpc0615]

Oh ok I see what you saying.

[LiuKangMK]

FLIPMODE SQUAD JEEEEEEEEEAH

[TheMostHatedPlayer17]

love that moment at: 01:51 busta was the shit at that time !

[Toymit]

[princesam78]

[gusphraba]

Deserves a better video. Looks like a wannabe Busta video. Did Hype Williams make it?

[ASABEY1972]

Love this tune. Should have been a much bigger hit than what it was. Props on this drop.

[megaman7199]

[ike9]

This is what music is supposed to sound like. This is real hip hop.....

[centralcoastbum]

@ike9 HOW!??? how is this "real hip hop"? what is real hip hop? this is typical industry shit you would here on the radio in the 90's

[kamesan]

I guess the dude in the beginning is Serious

[hoodlum09]

[abz48]

This is one of the most hardcore cameos from an R&B star (Billy Lawrence) in the history of R&B/hip-hop collabos

[amilaku]

[watchutoob1]

Damn, Billy Lawrence was so sexy back in the day. Whatever happened to her.

[VDubShawnC]

classic

[ateball1]

this beat is dope and i love the album but this song was sampled by an 80's funk song. if anyone has the original track info hit me up. i heard it at an underground party a few years back. the dj was fuckin it up (in a good way) and i forgot to get at him when he was done.

[traydawg20]

hey ateball1 this song is sapmpled from a group called UNLIMITED TOUCH and the song is called I HEAR MUSIC IN THE STREETS PEACE.

[jkbezo]

YESSS, that;'s it.

[kfcboi1975]

i used to have this, i think the cassette was called paradise

[duncabbin]

Off the Scouts Honor...By Way Of Blood LP, quality track, quality LP actually.

[ziomperinion]

Public Enemy - Public Enemy No. 1

[joewtjoewb4000]

[crazyhood123]

Yea For real What happen to her?? I Love the beat to this song!! Stiil got Cd Single to this one too.

[brittneyboots]

i guess it's only natural that this video looks like a busta video...seeing as they're cousins...i was in the 7th grade when this came out lol...what in the world happened to billy lawrence?

[thistleflowers]

omg! i loved this, i have the cassette tape single somewhere :)

[inaj27]

this was the HITT!

[demarcusgd]

Gotta love those 90's Flipmode videos... And what about that hook? Honestly I liked the censored one's hook. I just seems so wrong coming out of Billy's mouth:)

[misscynicalsoul]

I wonder how will smith felt when rampage said he wanted to lick jada pinkett like a now-or-later candy...lol

[legacyspirit18]

wtf is this ramp u betta than axtin like busta

[dtownboi81]

[kayjayo08]

This takes me back to my freshman year at NCCU!!!

[delorianstar]

serious...the gay lookin dude at the beginning...was in flipmode...serious was soooo wack....

[sinderella23]

Thanks for posting this video! :)

[lvngdead]

Rampage is a raw muthafucka, but this video doesn't do him justice. Somone send this guy some boom bap beats.

[costadeenof]

i bought it on single in london cudnt get in lincolnshire bak in 97

[crunk617]

just put this joint on the ipod

[mikele1811]

RAMPAGE 4-EVER---strall

[neqquah]

lol I never wouldve remembered this song

[sbe79]

I can't get over how funny it is to hear Billy Lawrence sing lines like "N***as everywhere/B*tches everywhere". Listen to her earlier work and it's NOTHING like this. I love her.  Thanks for posting. I miss that girl.

[aja407]

i hear you

[reeree212]

@sbe79

and she ain't black! lol  risky move, but good song.

[sbe79]

It always makes me laugh to hear Billy's earlier work (i.e. 1994's "Happiness"), then hear her singing lines like "Niggas everywhere/Bitches everywhere". Oh man, that girl TRIED SO HARD! I love her.  Thanks for posting this.

[demarcusgd]

I STILL can't get over that beat. Rampage and Billy killed it. Too bad you didn't hear too much from her afterwards...

[MOBROOKS]

why in the fuck did he change beats? the beginning of this video was fire then he switched it up. big mistake. I thought it way back then and I still think it now!

[herculeshernandez]

it's two different songs. the first one is "Flipmode Enemy No. 1" (cover of "Public Enemy No. 1") and the main song is "Take It To The Streets".

[rodrigomramos]

By the way, the original sample, used by PE is JB's Blow Your Head.

[Skizixx]

Yeah, this joint rocks Kid! I got this when it first came out. Classic!

[steyyyf]

Awesome, what a great classic ! This is real old-school hip-hop, the instrumental is groovy, makes you wanna dance

[Boitzer]

Great! Not well know, but a REAL Classic one!! One of the Best HIPHOP-SONGS ever!!! Thank you for hosting this one!

[Ticamo77]

Oh man! This was the jam back in the day. Thank you for posting it. Taking me back.

[hazeliz345]

tune that brings back many many memories

[jkbezo]

Shit man, this was hot in the clubs in '97. Memories. My current wife and I dance to this back then. That's funny I'm old.

[cibida1]

classic 97 shyt...used 2 be my jam right here
