  • was this video recorded from VHS?

  • lol..as a kid I thot they said Roll on this!! aww man...

  • thumbs up :)

  • lol compare this to lil wayne and drake. if you actually think this doesnt destroy all the crap today like lil wayne and nicki minaj... you are a frickin idiot. get ur brain checked seriously

  • The UMC's came out in 1990. They were the first group from Staten Island to mention Wu-Tang (Any Way The Wind Blows - The B-Side of Blue Cheese) on record as well as the first group to score TWO # billboard singles with Blue Cheese and One to Grow One. They defintely would have had three in a row if they ever dropped Never Never Land...but they never did.

  • thanks for posting. this is one of those songs and videos that got down in your soul and subliminal early on and set a standard for what you expected of hip hop music and creative art in terms of music videos. then time went on and you saw stuff that wasn't quite like this and you had an attitude and you didn't know why.

  • OLD school NYOIL

  • These niggaz was like L.O.N.S., De La, and Tribe all mixed in one.

  • Apprehend my method, my method is apparent, I see clearly.. this world is transparent. So I reach down deep, deliver salvation to the hands of the weak...

    the meek, the mild,... then tame the wild, cuz' that's how I'm styled!

    See.. if you couldn't flow like Ra (Rakim) back then, yo' ass couldn't even cop a record deal. Whatever happened to the lyricist?

  • DA VIBE IS KRAZY!!!!!!!!!

  • this guy has the same voice of JVC force, seriously anyway they both made very powerfull albums lol

  • Okay big deal. They dropped this track in 92, then the album in 93. When I've heard RZA in interviews he always talks about Wu in 93. Thanks 4 the correction.

  • New Zoo review comin right at you

  • actually.. for all of you EXPERTS.. the force m.c.s put s.i. on the map.. with their live shows and battles against m.c.s like the cold crush and the fantastic five.. they then became the force m.d.s focusing on singing more than rhyming.. THEN came the u.m.d.'s.. know what you talking bout

  • Kids need to hear music in schools and they should dance and eat Pizza at genes pizza. Schools would be so much fun.

  • ced gee and kool keith?

  • Watching this makes me sad because it would go waaay over the heads of today's music listener.

  • DUDE YOU SAID IT ALL. Theres nothing else to say...Excellent Breakdown of this Album in words!!!!!! I loved UMCs and follow NYOIL to this day..

  • the rebirth of cool too. Love that album

  • Heavy heavy track from back in the day. I was bumping this and jive talkin hard in the UK!

  • incredible song

  • now this is hip-hop suckas'!

  • Both are great....although when I first head Wu-tang...I thought about the UMC'S......

  • they dont make em lik this anymore, those dancers were good too.

  • This sample was dope! Who did all of their tracks for their album?

  • If anyone is looking for the mp3 of this track I have the promo cd single. Get with me!

  • hell yey! 90's!!!!!!! this shit will always be real 2 me. im 14 n man i understand real music like dis. old school will always be in my heart. ever since i was 13 last year

  • Kim is rippin it! This was back when brothers used to kick Knowledge on the Mic!! Everybody out now is on the "dumb-it-down" tip!!

  • still got this album fresh for 91 ,wanna go back to them times!

  • This is before hip hop really became monopolized. You can count today's rappers on your fingers. There were way more groups/diversity in styles back then.

  • "Washing Machine" part is from Bill Cosby's "Ursalena".

  • yeah

  • Hip-hop used to be openly diverse. Now it`s like some closeted secret. There`s good hip-hop out there. It`s just the media,record companies,etc., wants to ignore it as irrelevant because it`s not charting or selling the most units. Support real hip-hop.

  • Hot song where it looks like everyone was having fun dancing. Today videos look like they are being paid to have fun. This video looks so natural.

  • I used to confuse them with ultramagnetic mc's lmao wtf

  • i could bboy to this ALL DAY!

  • the hell happen to them? they were ahead of there time while other rappers were rapping like.."well my name is MC guy and im here to say.. that next week is my birthday"

  • really clever song.

  • anyone know the samples? love this track

  • jamie fox was nice as fuck!!!!

  • im 14 and this is fuckin dope!!!

  • I this album on tape...!

  • love this, i was 21 when it came out and i bought the album on cassette 1st time i went to NY and played it constantly for weeks

  • Dope! I still have my UMC poster!

  • wow, a time when the young ladies wore clothes in videos, lol. Luv it!

  • one of the dopest and most slept on crews of the era....

  • This guys produced the best of hiphop and jazz..I think there should be more mixing of HipHop and Jazz together it's very intelligent black music.Another group like this is De La Soul.

  • I miss Hip Hop

  • I still play this in my car today! Thanks for bringing back great memories :) Love it!

  • THIS IS GAY!!!!!!!!THEY STRAIGHT BIT........BIT OFF OF THE ULTRA MAGNETIC MC'S. THE REAL AND ONLY KOOL IS KOOL KEITH. KOOL KIM IS A COCK SUCKN BITER. i HOPE THESE FAGS DIDE ALREADY

  • sound is horrible, but i love it

  • I be bumping this shit everyday in my Car. I love this SONG!!! UMCs are one of my favorite rappers all times..

  • I still have this album. The UMCs messed up when they tried to go "gangsta" with their second album. They never should have listened to those who said they were too soft. It killed their career.

  • BEST HIP HOP for me in early dayz

  • I was bumping this joint here ALL FREAKIN DAY IN MY CAR. MAN I WAS JAMMIN HARD. TOOK ME BACK TO EARLY 1992, I was 11 when this came out.

  • Takes me back too. When I was in 7th grade stuck in the house doing my homework. This song came out during the winter of that year that I remember.

  • This is the prime of m teenage life.

  • Hip hop use to be so gawd damn good for the soul.

  • great stuff

  • AWW BE DAMN!!!!!!!

    THis Is My THANG HERE!!!!

    I was jamming with this hard wit my lil cousins/ homeboys at skating when I was 11 when this came out.

  • lmao compare this to the music today... haha

  • This album used Swing/Jazz as its musical foundation, which few other groups have done, successfully or not.

    ...universally, mystically, conceptually

  • you can;t compare lil wayne to this at all rap is fucked today......HIPHOP is dead RIP

  • @Techno04335 Hip Hop is alive, music on TV and radio is dead...

  • WOW I wasn't

    even born yet...lol

  • This was my joint, definitely. Too smart for today's audience.

  • definetly one to grow on lol, dope.

  • this was my shit! Used to battle cats on the dance floor with this!

  • FIRE

  • went from this too.2009 tha era of tha wack ass southern bullshit.bring it back.real hip hop................

  • ha ha mi shit ..been searching fo this

  • i could like listen to this 100 times its so catchy and haas is best

  • RZA and them had joints out maybe before, but WU TANG did not come out and be titled as WU TANG until 93. These tow kids here was the official m.c.'s that put S.I. on the map. Then 93 came, and the Wu blew the world down. After protect ya neck cats mostly was like "what ever happened to U.M.C.?"

  • as I said

    officially wu's first single was "after laughter comes tears" it came out 91-92

  • @streeaka You are correct all of you are correct about the Wu-tang and U.M.C.s however U.M.C.s enjoyed success before the Wu which you have to give them correct for putting the home base on the map. Not to take anything away from the Wu which put the home team on the map globally, and yes I am aware of the Rza's and the Gza's first albums. Those albums were not successfully therefore didn't put the home base out national.

  • @171TITO Haas GAudio Production, Audio Engineer

    RNSAudio Production, Audio Engineer

    Hass GMixing, Producer.....the umc broke up.hass g changed name to phantom of the beats . kim became ny oil still doing him.. phantom did magic stick beat for kim and i get money for 50 cent

  • @171TITO so I was about to upload the after laughter joint with pic but someone beat me to it

    youtube com /watch?v=ZLXEAMfnMBs

  • @171TITO So True. Growing up in Maine. I was hated for playing the likes of this when nobody realy knew what hiphop was. I was labeled "Wigger" by my classmates through most of my teenage years. & then some of those same kids became wannbe gangsta's when the likes of "The Chronic" & "Enter The 36 Chambers" came out. & I laughed @ them.

  • Wow... this takes me back. I appreciate that the 80s and 90s allowed all kinds of emcees to get some burn. You had the UMCs and you had your Wu Tangs... Dang I miss hip hop.

  • back to da good ol' dayz

  • I jus luv' it ;)

  • yup...classic -- remember DJ One Step Ahead ( who still ROCKS it ) Droppin it when the Aldum dropped...pure goodness...on the downlow...loved the Kids of Never Never Land ..gonna have to find the Album Now.

  • This one goes way back. dope.

  • haas & kim are the best ever.

  • This was my jam

  • Staten island is nyc, well b4 wutang

  • actually WU came out first... RZA's EP Ooh I Love You Rakeem and GZA'z Words from the Genius both came out 91 or earlier. RNS did work with UMC's

  • Well officially wu tang didn't come out with their first single (protect your neck) until 93 this joint came out in 91.

  • officially wu's first single was "after laughter comes tears" it came out 91-92. I think Rza made reference to it in "World according to rza" Also for what it's worth on "i love you rakeem" there is a wu tang mix

  • DOPE VIID! BTW, UMCs dropped Blue Cheese around the end of the summer of 91. Not sure if they necessarily dropped before RZA or GZA, but they def had more of an impact at that time. Force MDs put Staten on the map first though.

  • Rest in Peace Mercury... Force MDs!!!

  • @phslugsta yea mercury, tcd, & doctor roc

  • lol...u are old school .....lol..you said force mdz....lol...itchen for a scratch...lol...im old school to...lol....peace

  • @streeaka Actually fam.. we cam out first as the UMC's on rough luxury records in 1989

  • @nyoil cant argue with that! and hood treason is hot!!!!

  • A message to the youngsta ...dont Pollute your souls with what they play on the radio ...."Dig in the Crates and find some tracks from the 80s and 90s"...EPMD, Stetasonic, Mc Lyte, UMC, Tribe, LONS, Fu, Gangstarr, De La, Lord, NWA, LOW Profile, PAC, the LIks, King Tee, KAM, Threat. ETC....just to name a few. I could go on and on but I would be on here forever....u catch my drift...Payce

  • LOVE IT  !!!

  • I still jam to this! very catchy!

  • The good days of hip hop, fun and creativity. Not the trash we get today, so sad it's bad.

  • I agree. It was so diverse then. We even had the 'corny" ones, but hell they were still tolerable and fun to listen too. HH was great in the 80s and 90s. remembr this video one the Video music Box.

  • Comments against some of the pioneers in the rap game is so typical of today's society. That's why there will be no answers for anything in the future because people will obvioiusly forget where they came from and have no foundation. After all, it was written to be this way and it's actually happening. So sad. KRS is wack now??? Wow...

  • Those who know about the pioneers in the rap game WILL carry the torch forward...

  • @Milesdarinmobley I do have KRS One 2007 album and it ain't that good as his old ones from 90s/ 80s. My favorite KRS One joint is "Black Cop" from 1993.

  • fabtastic!

  • Kool Kim looks like Jamie Foxx

  • straight break beat top rock to this

  • a euphoric era, this will always remain a classic in the hall of fame by the one and only umc's

  • I love this song. The music is crazy! I still rotate this.

  • which one is kool-kim

  • Kool Kim is the shorter one (Hightop fade)0:46 , currently known as NY OIL..check him out

  • 0:46

  • This beat always made me laugh! But I loved this song. People called me cheesy (and still do) because I play this from time to time.

  • The B-side for this song was the shit. "Any Way The Wind Blows"

  • i love that bill cosby sample.

  • Love this track, love these dudes.

    Early 90's hip-hop was nuthin to kcuf wit

  • I always thought these dudes were 5%ers, but I never could confirm that. But this album ... love it! Creative, totally.

  • They are Five Percenters. The Nation of Gods and Earths consistently produces the most talented musicians that the world has ever known! Peace.

  • Yeah this cats weren't for err body I dug' em though. Good times 30 and overs.

  • tru dat-tru dat-tru doo dat dat dat!

  • best

  • this kinda of hip hop wasn't 4 everybody..[so]

  • CLASSIC album! I STILL bump it in my car! Peace.

  • What album is this on?

  • The Fruits of Nature is the Album, I love it, its a timeless funky hip hop album

  • Both UMCs albums are now back in print! Jay Faires, who now owns the Wild Pitch catalog, signed a deal with Fontana Distribution. Really cheesy, though, is the EMI Records Group logo that still graces the cover of "Unleashed." Why didn't they airbrush it off? Peace.

  • LOVE IT THANK YOU!!!

  • 30yrs. and over HIP HOP if you aint 30yrs. or over you have no idea................

  • Im 20....and I know about hip hop! so that aint true

  • never get bored of this!

  • "then tame the wild and that's how i am styled":D pure gold

  • we all miss it... Its a damn shame that hip hop aint around anymore like this =/

  • DAMN. I MISS CLASSIC HIP-HOP.

  • What a great beat and sound this song has!

  • remember UMC's 2nd album was more underground and hardcore....

  • this is classic hip hop , the realist talent from back in the day.

  • wow no girls shaking there asses cant believer lol man i miss those days people just had fun in videos didn tthey

  • oh my god this is the shit!!!

    why isnt hip hop like this anymore :(

  • Like your young ass remembers this!

  • To all these folks saying, "Why isn't hip hop like this anymore?" I have to ask the following: WHERE are AT WHO are you looking? Kool Kim is STILL rocking the mic, now known as the deep, intellectual hip hop artist known as NYOIL. PE just celebrated 20 years with their new album, "How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People That Sold Their Soul?". KRS-ONE is still shattering mics to smithereens to this very day. Don't depend on the mainstream media to show you the real deal. PEACE!

  • krs is wack now

  • @nemesis700 Jay Z, LL Cool J is ever worser nowadays. Even thou I'm a hude fan of Old School East Coast Hip Hop.

  • ^^ check uot the kids with PCs LOL

  • I bought this album when it first came out. It was tight but what ever happened to these cats?

  • buy unleashed

    its there second album

    very rare

    totally the opposite'''''''way better2

    they beat the shit out of there manager for delaying payments and got black balled

  • i didnt really feel the second one aside from the alphabet joint.

  • classic material!

  • These guys made it cool to rock Asics. THis beat is crazy. Glad I stole the LP 6 years ago.

  • its bad thats kids of the day wont have this innocence to look back on. peace to the class of 89

  • kool kim vs nyoil? who'd take it.

  • AHH... WHEN NEW YORK WAS NEW YORK!

  • I like the way they took the old Blue Mitchell Jazz Tune "the Good Humor Man" and preserved that good feeling conveyed through the music with smart lyrics. It takes a skilled lyricist to convey a thought provoking positive message and notice not a curse word in the whole message

  • music when it was music.i know I'm young ,but i can't deny old school has soooo many flavors.i'm all in to it...fuck radio

  • sick song... of course old school is where my hearts at! long live old school and keep it alive!

  • yes the days when every week a new slammin tune came out. I too miss those great days.

  • Wow, the fact that Kool Kim is NYOIL only makes me want MORE of the music!

  • Wow, are you serious HaloedG? I never knew that! If he is that is wild! But it's not too surprising, a lot of old school MC's have been popping up with alias names years later with a whole different style! Like if I'm not mistaken isn't MF Doom the brotha who used to be a part of KMD (you know Zev Love X, who dropped a verse on 3rd Bass's "Gas Face" song?)

  • you are exactly right about MF DOOM. Right now, in this space and time of garbage ass rap that polluting the world, MF DOOM is the Hip Hop Savior. I dare anyone to disagree. Beats, lyrics, etc. he's got it! All hail King Geedorah, the third rail!

  • i miss the 90's so much hip hop was in a golden era =/ i love this song

  • Who else in their 30's misses this fucking SHIT?? I do for one.

    Fuck , can't we go back in a time machine?

    I just want to house around in Guess Overalls and Timberlaands while trying to hook up with the chick that had the sexy Alligator Bob hair cut.

    Does anyone know wtf I'm talking about?

    Fuck!!!!!! :)
