[mackintosh35]

Loko o Bagulho, Dj sangue no olho...

[Pluntfarb]

Man, no one should be text rapping on here. Thats just like almost disrespectful in a way haha if you wanna spit on this then just get a mic and make a video of you doing it.

[lamasingz]

just remember what it costed when your mobile phone rings or buzzes minerals taken from dead mans clutches organized chaos all for the gold industry its sad to see the fundamentally wrong doing of humanity and the tendency of industry to take all losing rationality these are the hard facts reality not for us or you but for people in the third world you never knew

[Quest1989]

@lamasingz

so glad to hear you have knowledge about what goes on. Seems almost the whole world does not care about what you speak of. So much destruction just for fashionable phone users to upgrade their trendy "smart" phones every 6 months. What has the world come to?

[lamasingz]

@Quest1989 yeah, i know right. not a lot of people know or care about it. Its a shame

[TheOPTIMYSTICALbeats]

@Quest1989 so true we live in such a greedy materialistic world now makes me quite sad. at least theres still great music to uplift the soul !

[alfonso268]

[uglyasamug]

Its you. its me, its the way we are

Knowledge/Wisdom hip hop the religion

Dilla the god, Premo the master, MF Doom; The beautiful disaster

[GunBunnyShift]

All ya'll who just can't rap worth shit shouldn't even try to put a verse in on this beat. For ya'll who can, try to match it to the dopeness of this song. *coughya'llwon'tbeabletodoitco­ugh*

[klashinkov]

blast past your menace gaze

my klashinkov just his frame

a petty shame, his brains remains

his motive went against the grain

[ChThc3]

głowa sie kiwa:)

[ThaGod420]

[KidFaw]

Speak Back!

Gritty as fuck with the feedback!

Wack Mcs on track.... Aint no need for that!

Too much vibe for the comment box!

I think we can all agree, that my man Pete Rocks!

[Headderking]

Dope Beat

[cyrusjerome]

music is supposed to be shared, so everyone has the right to spit on this track. just leaving your shit in the comments doesn't make sense because we cant hear it, leave a video response if you wanna hit it so badly

[DnnQns]

Track 14 On "The Surviving Elements"

[mindhappiness]

yeah, this is the type of music im talking about<3

[PsicJaden]

and all yall not worthy to comment over vid

[alfeathea]

Pete Rock, baby!

[LucianoRJ40Graus]

fuck lil wayne 

[Jaigh]

everyone "text rapping" needs to buy a mic.

[gogoGreen420]

Word. Loosen up. Instrumental + Youtube = Some freestyle shit and experimental verses. Its supposed to be fun, no ones disgracing Pete Rock haha

[MrJoiner5]

any real mc has the right to spit on this classic track. that's what hip hop is about. i find it funny that some of yall are hatin on people just because they want to put down a verse. yall are haters of hip hop then if you do that. and more than likely you're just mad you cant put down bars like these niggas do. so fuck the haters man

[KidwiFli]

haha.. whut u need to learn to do is appreciate both of you hipsters arguing your opinions.. thts real

[soln4suhreborn]

Props to Pete Rock and RIP Johnnie Taylor and Al Jackson Jr.

[chefpope]

[thismayhurt23]

woooooo hip hop is teaching me a lesson

[eineneger]

fakin perfect

[freedomland11]

Im gonna try my best put this youtube channel to rest I'm wayyyy far from da best but thirteen years old my rap name is "Steel Chest" little do ppl know i steel a cleft and BOOM theres no more left for I am the city that burns candle light at night freddy kruger could've caught a fright as sink my teeth in a MC's arm then untangle my web to see how long is it for him to realize that he's bled its time for you wannabees to go to bed but instead you wanna pound me like wonder bread

Brooklyn!!

[losviosTV]

it sound like the RZA

[powerpuffMC]

3 more Haters To Take Down.

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

[dahardworka7]

[dannyinbrklyn]

[basbertens80]

[KackAufDieGoldKette]

pete is one of the best and better than dilla. no question.



[illest22]

@KackAufDieGoldKette AGREED

[WFZugz]

Shit's ridiculous. Has that gritty 36 Chambers feel.

[kritz90]

yo where can i find this song to put on my ipod? it doesnt come up anywhere

[8illmatic3]

just got this entire album on vinl, im pumped

[poetyk]

I swear I'd probably hurt someone hear Rakim on this... hell, in retrospect, I think a Rakim-Pete collab is loooong overdue b/c Dr. Dre and all those spaceship noises were nice but not jazzy enough.

[8960423]

@poetyk pr or premo collab with rakim will be fire hands down! sure was with 18th letter

[frazwil09]

heres a question who is better j dilla or pete rock????

rip dilla

[ODonTheseTrees]

@frazwil09 IF you knew your shit, you'd know they were friends. Pete came on the scene first, and greatly inspired Dilla, but Pete considered Dilla to be a peer, not a threat

[frazwil09]

@ODonTheseTrees m8 wtf i asked whos better ah kno pete was there first round bout early 90s with cl smooth and that !!!!! and as for dilla he died of TTP! YOUR WELL AN IGNORANT CUNT! it dont matter who inspired who its a simple fucking question whos beats are better!! do yourself a favor cuz and slit your wrists while theres still time ya EMBARRASMENT!

[mamaguevonao]

passweb is motefokaaa!!! fuck we us nigga`s motefukaaa !!!

[dascientiss]

....that was fuckin stupid. Oh you can rhyme alot and talk about nothing. You must really be ill....shut up. Get off youtube

[itzFundamental]

@bertdanerd

i exhibit the most ridiculous lyrically intricate wickedest sickness since syphilis/

villainous evil genius distinguished lynguist/

the way my thesis breaches ur deepest speeches, exposes your weakness and smashes your thoughts to pieces is seamless/ push spines outta places, writtens contagious like the plague is upon my pages

[jordanlaboube]

That was also seriously some ill sh**.

[dascientiss]

U are what U are.....and you just happen to be whack.

[itzFundamental]

@bertdanerd least im not wack as fuck at rapping haha

[itzFundamental]

@bertdanerd unbelievably wack

[Jetblackshady]

upon much reflection, hope becomes the rhythm, faith the living, but righteous? no, that can't be me, I don't be impressing the illegitimate, cutting the iridescent or skimming the eyes, notes and past ages in my mind, to put it all bluntly, I go like soap, that's what the hype is, beyond that, lustrous beginnings, magnificent endings, horror upending, are, can, what, do, see the headaches without the noise, aces without the toys, ghetto without the etto, stiletto, be in the nice dreams.

[JrDCFC]

always hanging in a hood, we call u pussy ur a clit got whipped as i stab it up til ur gushy durty hangin lowe down cos ure used so much like alladin in a bottle just needs a midas touch thats enuff 2 ruff, gotta get u wetter find ur house.. kickk u out so u can feel tha weather don't kno whether.. i should say so much JD from the UK says thankyou very much

[herespyro99]

@JrDCFC work on it you will get better not feeling this one do

[philkmk]

U R WAT U R... 5*

[widerling]

it's typical when i get lyrical,

turning fake mc's into wine like a miracle,/

utilize their energy to my advantage/

be careful in my presence/ my middle name is rampage/when i am long gone my legacy will be/

the genuine protoype/who held it down sincerly!

brap

[86Blunthead]

please don't do that..

[amrika5]

wicked

[Killabeez699]

sounds like a rza track

[dannydprojectile]

true dat

[janeshe2]

Janeshe 2 says: he aint playin wit dis one hey!!!

[DnnQns]

Track 14 On "The Surviving Elements"

[hochsr]

im continuing on with this ill composition

no repitition, rhymes rhymin fluently with rhythmic rhythm

the beat being the gun, lyrics the ammunition

serving the purpose to shoot out the fuckin competition

starting a new sort of revolution

not jazzy jeff, but it's the return of the magnificent

so all eyes on me, the center of attention

my style's out of this world there's no need to mention it

[hochsr]

tha main facta's the noun, and ill's the definition

of what a true mc is, a hip hop genisis

while others say the hypnotisin lyrical lyricist

soundwaves coming through ya skins more than dermatologists

can ya kick it? yes i can.

coming from a tribe called quests number one fan

im bringing the fucking ruckus like the wu-tang clan

and the flows so stimulatin so check the method man

[hochsr]

today real emcees are an endangered species, pick up on the pun?

lyrically blessed they think im jesus, while nas is gods son

appearing as a teacher like the infamous/ three, two, KRS-ONE!

wordplay insane like m.o.p be stickin to ya gun

this verbal holocaust doesnt stop, coz i keep dropping bombs

and hip hops resurrected at the end of this song

[futbol345]

sampled from Lost boyz! (lex coupes, bimaz and benz). Sick!!! =)

[alisesay]

@futbol345 yeah definitely sounds like easy mo bee used this

[m33lover]

Oooooh SHIT....My eardrums are in love.

[remainingnameless]

Odd? It was only natural mofo!

[UltraDOG17]

what'z wrong with ya bastards

lowering me cause i say J. Dilla?

[Koopaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

i love j dilla

[immasuperninja]

pete rock is who inspired j-dilla

[slumberlogic7]

What you are is what what you are and what I drop is a shooting star, big fat ball of tar tear my lungs apart,

drunken shouts, the shit bumpin from my trunk will stump the stars,

right before we whip the pumpkins out

Call me insane but my true feeling is wayne dropped a roofy in his cough syrip and corflakes today

the radio is so flaky that my brain can't even take it

its bringing the pain in a whole different way

giving the little shorties something to sing

sl

[alanmorrison1986]

we gotta get pete rock a statue somewhere

[watupange]

lol word.. and a dj premier one too!

[BringDpain]

what about me?

[MarsHolst20]

@alanmorrison1986 for real. Dude's a legend.

[MrDirtdevil91]

@alanmorrison1986 In Mount Vernon my nigga! If a fictional boxer can get a statue in Philly, Pete can get a statue in NY, but New York niggas mysteriously don't support NY artists, idk what that's about

[herespyro99]

@alanmorrison1986 hell yeah man im with ya

[enycepinoyism]

@alanmorrison1986 we should, its about 20 years overdue. lol

[drkbrn23]

[sypha0x]

Peep the way I flipped the sample. I decided to make a Remix to this beat using the same sample. Pete Rock is a LEGEND! PEACE!

[kwin1984]
