wow these guys are so ''gangsta'' im really terrified its so cool..its too bad theres people dying in thrid world country for things they can not help, these guys could make GOOD descisions and change themselves..fuckin goofballs
Roc A Fella was on top point blank back in the day they made use dude in the South wear Throw backs and Roc A Wear and Tims.Everybody wanted to be apart of that whole movement Dame & Jay built.Freeway,Beanie Sigel,Memphis Bleek,Peedi Crakk,Young Gunz,Kanye West,Dip Set you can't ask for a bette line up they was like Nolimit back in the day
he says insteading of instead of making salah, im drinkin gin, im drunk again . . . so is he posing muslim or is he promoting the weakness of iman, or is he letting the public aware that not all "muslims" wear turbans and ride camels and they're fascinated by the material world just like most unconsious individuals? holla back
I interpret it as no matter how we strive for perfection whether it be Muslim, Christian, Jew, or Buddhist. We humans all come up short in the divine walk because we are human.
Also there is double entendre here. He says instead of making Salat (the 5 daily prayers to the holy city of Makkah) drink liters of Gin. (spirits).. The Holy Quran says that Gin are spirits that are in creation. Angels are made from light, Humankind made from the dust, dirt, and clay, and Gins (genie) are spirits that are in the air with good and bad qualities. You can get a good spirit posessing you or you can get a bad spirit posessin you to.
Thank you for that source of information on the original artist. I'm always interested in learning about original artist' and who sampled them. Cool :-)
What I mean is that the background to this song is the same as the Tribe Called Quest song Electric Relaxation. Listen to both songs if you don't believe me.
PHILLY PHILLY STAND UP! damn it seems like once the roc broke up, it was truly a death of a dynasty! so many hot philly rapper. yall still doing yall thing, free u stay on the deuce 52nd and market lol.
who gives a fuck if just blaze sampled that track thats pure hip hop at its best,they dont make music like that anymore,free never got credit for his words on that.thats when styate property was hungry,early
Well I was jus saying, dude. Dont freak out. I love tribe called quest and just blaze. I jus thought it was a cool sample, that's all.
PS pure hip hop is hip hop before 2000. Thats why they are not coming out with top quality music nowadays. They need to bring back the creativity they used in the 90s.
u know what homie,u r right hip- hop isnt the same,whatever happenned to dudes like dominoe and mc eiht and spice-1-welcome to the ghetto and tracks like that that made u feel a certain way.what r we left with now lame ass lil wayne and soljah boy,wake up music industry,get at me
We need more Hip-Hop songs like this, its sad that there isn't that many songs as motivational and real that we all used to really feel when we heard. All I can say, it is good to hear this throwback and hopefully one day, the music scene will go back to the way it should be. Keep holding it down Freeway, we the listeners and those who really know music all need more songs like this to keep that real music alive. One love, Peace.
This video remind me of B-More so much. I miss this era. It was like just yesterday for me. This was a few years before ringtone rap, tight ass clothes, hypebeasts and all that other wack shit.
Man me and my cousin was listening to this song before he got locked up.....everytime i hear it it jus brings memeries FREE MY COUSIN JULIAN FAAAASSSSSttt we gon see u in 2012 bruh stay up
this song popped up on the radio out of nowhere and i forgot all about it till now... it hit me real hard cuz my 2 best friends' older brother got in a head on with a drunk driver the other day and was airlifted to the hospital and odds are he wont come back as the same person cuz of brain damage... i'm praying to god that wont happen and everything will be alright... hang in there, hold on and stay strong Ryan
