[JekaNikke]

[LeeIsAOG]

Mad Skillz kinda sounded like Big L on did song. Maybe it's just my iPod? Good song though.

[boogiemaster247]

from a true bboy who had this on the orginal 5" cd single and just stroke this like a Billy Squire joint...classic..pure MCn..feel me...lyrically? come one..get in his cypher and feel your chest pump like you smoking cigs trying to hold Jordan in his prime...

cancel Christmas baby...Vitale style..next.

[VABBoy4Life]

This is a classic from my man....An acknowledgement to the endless number of emcees who repped VA....VA Hip Hop 4ever!....

[rpierce3411]

can't nod to any of this new mainstream crap they call hip hop...that's why i stay in the 80's and 90's most of the time

[kayomndeni]

This guy was the maddest rapper ever, i dnt care what every 1 says, I rate this guy to Nas illmatic level pity he never blow up and stayed underground, this takes me back in the days when i use to listen to rap music early 90's.

[bigv12]

@kayomndeni he is on kouch records he has tons of shit out there and watch out for him and @nickelusf and bravo called resiovur dogs let me find link and ill link it for you

[bigrod5699]

[ShamaAlah]

This joint was so ahead of its time niggas didnt even know how to move to this

[ShadowXFX1]

Yo where you from God? Virginia.........From Where??????? HAHAHAHAH

[ludishone]

the voice is identical as big l lol

[BWCastro22]

how is it that mad skillz drops from where??? one of the DOPEST albums ever and sells 50,000 copys, and lil wayne cant even construct a rhyme (after the carter II, pretty much when he got famous) and sells millions? people are so fucking stupid

[TheSKSpecial]

@BWCastro22

This album dropped the same day as All Eyez On Me and The Score.

Not exactly the best idea for a new rapper from a place nobody really heard of (at the time) to release a debut on the same day as 2pac and The Fugees.

[BWCastro22]

i guess but youd still think that somebody in the industry in DC would have heard it, or some dude in richmond with a nigga in new york would have tol them to get it... i understtand it not selling in the first week or even month, but nobody has hearrd of this dude, and like i said it's one of the dopest albums ever, right up there wiht lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous, illmatic and only built 4 cuban linx

[sk321tm]

rva all day.

[distanct]

Now he'd have to say, I'm like a white president, cuz niggas ain't seein me.

[clydecromey]

This song had my head nodding so much in '95 that I needed a neckbrace.

[Dukie4Life08]

RIC represent!

[splixt]

i dont understand why anyone could dislike this. maybe its not your thing so you stop listening, but actually dislike it? yeah, your finger slipped. i can't stop replaying this.

[BigMeeks512]

[fenerlist13]

@powerpuffMC yea his voice look likes big l!

if i didnt know that song,i might thought that he is big l

[Mackadoeshez]

Pure butta!!!

Skillz is your FAVORITE rappers ghostwriter, truss. He done wrote for almost everyone that's hot in the mainstream.

[SNUBNOSESAM]

O SHIT I, never knew there was a vid!! Thanks DUDE!! REP 95!!

[kennboy1]

Nice track!

[MonsieurCheckers]

im not that into hiphop and all but i just want to say how downhill this genre went lol. i feel so sorry for those hopeless souls who portray the image of 50 cent when in reality idolize a huge loser. im assuming that those "stars" are publicized by the real powerful people to dumb-down society. thats why true talent never makes it. i TRULY believe Kanye west was/is paid to do all the stupid shit hes ever done. this recession was planned, people control the world, blah blah. truth makes u crazy.

[kennboy1]

Your not crazy, your right, trust me.

[BlackGrass805]

I Agree but 50 Cent isn't as bad as Young Money, and alot of that "gangsta" shit happened to him.

[powerpuffMC]

@BlackGrass805 whe he was hangin with tiberlake?

[BlackGrass805]

@powerpuffMC Oh. nevermind

[NarutoKyubiii]

@BlackGrass805 50 was a g in his time. Its just now he's not really makin them old tunes he used 2 make. Oh well, i will remember him for his past.

[BlackGrass805]

@NarutoKyubiii Yeah hes trying to make money like all the these other main stream rappers

[PlatonsArm]

I'm like Obama - n*ggas ain't seeing me!

[kennboy1]

He said im like im like a black president, but you're probably joking.

[melloprod]

this the skillz i remember from the 90's! He aint hungry no more! He aint play ball with the record label he was with-that's why his fame took a nose dive-so sad, because he was out when biggie and pac was hot-not to mention a shitload of other rappers. If he could do it over-i'll bet he'd do shit different!

[PlatonsArm]

f*ck that, Atlantic dropped their whole roster, it didn't have nothing to do with Skillz. (Besides, what happened to majors after that - I'm glad he stayed away from the mainstream.)

[kennboy1]

Dang Platons and mello that's messed up. this was a good track too!

[mrsprudel]

homeboy at 0:48 - mad real :D thumbs up!

[Muzik444]

Uh, yea thanks.

Can you not see someone has already answered my question though?

your comment made me laugh actually with your 'get with it' and your 'lol u a new school cat huh?'

[blaqdiemenz]

i wished he and big L would have did a track 2gether

[RatPacKliQ]

@blaqdiemenz first thing i thought man

[freeline1996]

@blaqdiemenz That would be some sick ass joint.

[GomesBoy24]

@blaqdiemenz They almost sound the same if you listen close.

[colenbrak]

@blaqdiemenz i wish big L had died before he ever rapped

[blaqdiemenz]

@colenbrak

what the hec is that surposed to mean.. thats not cool man

[DjDestinyChicago]

@colenbrak wtf would you say that for? >(

[BigL2502]

@blaqdiemenz haha i agree man! would of been hard to tell who did which verse, sound so alike!

[POOKADU]

one of my first records!! it burned out the groove on it!!lol dope song!!

[Phatbeat67]

still love and play that shit ;)

[qwandiddy]

@Phatbeat67 Yep i got this shit on my itunes play it alot in my car.

[primaldog]

beautiful work...so hip...

[JohnDubwize]

The sounds of the underground.

[Muzik444]

what the hell does he mean by 'take your ass to the old school and part your fuckin eye brows'?

[Muzik444]

but.. what a fucking tune! pretty much perfect hip-hop

[sleazen804]

ol skool heads used to put 3 parts in their eyebrows like big daddy kane

[CmonCollapseNow]

[kwinseeeee]
