ll cool j - round the way girl (1990 CE)

[Akshin730]

Damn I miss the 90's I was only a kid but I grew up on hip hop like this.....

[55vsd77]

I need a roun the way girl ,)

[TheRubronegro85]

This is real fucking music kids don't know whats missing in their ears for real!

[colossus112785]

I dont understand why so many ppl hate on LL he's a nice lyricst

[DDunker51]

Far as I'm concerned, there have only been five (5) years of music in America. 1990 - 1995. It was downhill FAST after 1995. If you weren't living in Los Angeles back then, listening to Power 106, KIIS or 92.3 The Beat, then you have no idea what you missed! Saturday nights, KIIS used to play about 9 or 10 hours of non-stop back-to-back music like this, NO COMMERCIALS! Just THE BEST MUSIC! Man, do I MISS those days!

[ktrb90]

I WAS A BABY WHEN THIS CAME OUT THE 90S ITS IT CHECK OUT GROUP 7/27 ON KTRB90 PLEASE GOD BLESS

[UltimateHeroStorm1]

1997, i was born in the wrong fucking time. :(

[soulsteela01]

How can someone not like this???

[leloelela]

@soulsteela01 Because the video is just a handful of images, and "1990 CE" means that the OP is a twit.

[soulsteela01]

@leloelela if that`s your point, you`re right. But u must still admit that the track is top class even now??

[leloelela]

@soulsteela01 I agree 150%, the song is awesome.

[CAB4SHO]

[pao002asl]

Ah I miss back in the day when rap/hip hop actually had really cool backing tracks that actually had harmonically interesting 'grooves' (or samples, most of the time Jazz samples!!) that were awesome to listen too. Now its all about having the most obnoxious bass with only a electronic kit and no background harmonic structure, and people talking about killing others because its the 'hard' way to live.

[ageelk0214]

Me and mh om are JAMMIN' out to this lol(:

[purplerainhearts]

I use to think this was sampled from The Mary Jane Girls "All Night Long"

[QCongress83]

@purplerainhearts Actually it is sampled from The Mary Jane Girls, it's more of an interpolation of "All Night Long".

[webkinzluvs]

[j2dafae]

lol meh and my homeqirl love dis song. haha my momz them bee sayin that this sonq descibes us. so chhea! sighnin out as yo around the way qirlz ;)

[Raybone5648]

1 dislike??? Yeah thas a hater for ya! This shyt classic my nigga!

[ItsHaileysMind]

H, so I listened to this song at my friends house, and everyone got mad because it was "old" and told me to put lil wayne or drake on, but I put on Dr.Dre, and they were pissed haha, I hate how kids my age don't like to explore the music that brought us here today, but music sucks *** these days :/!!

[TheHumanBallsack]

@ItsHaileysMind If anybody told me to stick on any of that modern bullshit, I'd throw em out the damn window before they'd finished their sentence!!!

[therealbrooksie]

@ItsHaileysMind ik same here in the locker room the bridge is over was playing only for everyone to shut it off i feel ya man man cant everyone understand the music that brought us here today?

[itzIsolation]

@ItsHaileysMind those faggots don't even like Lil Wayne or Drake they just listen to them because that's what typical teenie boppers do, they just want to do what everyone else is doing and refuse to follow their own passions and likes. Keep reppin' LL Cool J, Dr. Dre, Biggie, and 2Pac at your friend's house.

[benopolly]

@ItsHaileysMind hey bro i explore im only 17. 

[mm102030]

@ItsHaileysMind I hope your friends die in a fire.
