[remmy402]

Underground hip hop keep risin' to the top but only true hip hop die hard can see it rise. Build your inner power musically aight!

[forho2]

back when hip hop was real

[RealHipHop415]

Damn I heard this a while ago and finally found it again!

[mrkeitt]

This song was hard in the 97. Dam time flew.. Underground radio was banging back then. I quit smoking trees in 03 an back then I was smoking bags of chocolate tide to the head. Smoking out the old jetta with this. Dam nostalgic shit right there.

[dJrealed]

dopee shit niggaazzzz

[redd899]

Fersure,, Nicki ain't got nothing on Essence.

[bmdu69]

nice beat, years??

[Fable206]

these niggas (A-Butta in particular) were fuckin NICE..i haven't heard shit about them since Lyricist Lounge though

did these dudes ever drop an album or what? i've only found a super low quality ep from the mid 90's that was pretty unlistenable

[crhymes104]

@Fable206

i did a show with them in new york a couple weeks ago

[shuriken86]

str8 ill..

[Sibjacj]

Whether Essence ( the female MC) was just a feature on this song or supposed to be part of Natural Elements, she was nice too.

[DelanoLewis]

fuck that!

[hersheydon718]

And to just think......these niggas' went on the radio back then and challenged The Firm to a BATTLE and they never responded!!

[98bigbutt]

You're right too rharckus,but they were no match to Stretch and Bobbito.Them 2 were the kings of underground hip-hop radio.

[98bigbutt]

All I think about the days of Stretch and Bobbito on WKCR 89.9 on Thursday late nights from 1-5 AM.

[rharuckus]

@98bigbutt mayhem sunset marty moore and riz on 89.1 Wednesday nights too

[uselesspieceofsheet]

[sireg9vti]

This song takes me away. The sample is wicked.

[dufsta187]

wicked tune!!!

[honkaponka]

One of the dopest tracks I eva heard!!! Hip Hop at it's best!

[fromBulgaria]

yeaaah cheers

[THEBURNZINATOR]

is that madlib?

[hiphoplivs]

the second mc does kinda sound like lord quas a.k.a madlib

[drumatic]

nah... if anything I'd say that Terminology be sounding an awful lot like A-Butta... but maybe not!?

[HexOne1]

hell no man thats a-butta from natural elements... quasimoto is lyrically not at that level can't u tell?

[THEBURNZINATOR]

his voice is why i kinda thought, plus flow is way different

[cookiesandcartoons]

Totally. A-Butta is on a whole different level than quas/madlib

[armleglegarmhead]

lol cuz its speeded up

[Bottlenek6]

@HexOne1 a butta got niggas turnin heads!

[verdesh91]

@HexOne1 don't be hatin on quas

[cocacolarar]

@HexOne1

word up

[POETICFLX]

ah man everyone gotta cop the album this song is on....dj priemers NY REALITY CHECK 101...sounds better with prem scratching and mixing this track up

[mrmELS]

isnt the tempo a little slower on the ny reality check

[twinwise1]

Yeah.

[armleglegarmhead]

its not too slow on primos cut, its too fast here

[drumatic]

of course it is... Premo mixed it in, thus adjusting the tempo to match the previous record... c'mon... kids, learn about djing and mixing before posting silly questions like that.

[mrmELS]

dude, thats just common sense, I was just wondering if it was the NE song that was slowed because you know a dj doesnt necessarily have to alter the tempo of every record while mixing them...

[drumatic]

nah... a dj doesn't have to alter the tempo of every record, if it beat matches with the previous record (or subsquent) at -0- pitch adjust on the turntable...

[ejr1978]

@drumatic There wasn't a "previous record" before this song on Hip-Hop 101, just an intro. Just saying.

[drumatic]

@ejr1978 you know what i'm saying though...premo is setting up for the subsequent record... either way, a dj has a playlist already mapped out with tempos and such...you know!?

[M4ttM4YH3M]

pointgodand1 is a joke. hahaha

Real Hip hop man! nice post

[Meano187]

i think its fuckin real hiphop.....^^

[meomet25]

nice track

[BestVideosEver01]

[Hazmat002]

[Drowzy805Nomics]

Sick ass lyrics and sick ass beat, good post up homie.

[KioKenya]
