[RedBlitzMusic]

Hey I'm an up and coming and rapper and everyone i spit to likes my shit, they ask me how I got so good, I tell them I study the best..... they say "who weezy?" I say "BITCH!!! Lord Finesse"

[TheKevzero1]

[mahopers]

vieja escuela

[LENOVOPRODUCER]

This video right has a large amount of legends in it !

LNP

[KYS1978]

definately one of the best songs and videos in hiphop...i grew on 90's hiphop, it actually helped raise me. this is when nyc emcees showed support for each other and the music was damn near flawless. with the production, sadat, large pro, puba and finesse...perfect chemistry. Classic hands down.

[wufpakpj94]

peace to all my 90's niggas it shall be with us til we die sorry to those who missed this era it was truly one to be in man if i could turn back the time, i know yall feel me when i say that ,damn i almost shedded a tear one luv

[frankdogjao]

I got this joint on my iPod and bumping this shit hard as hell. This is real hiphop! Lord Finesse got some crazy ass metaphors.

[gx71y0]

[MrTauhidJones]

[ActionFarter]

@MrTauhidJones see snakefist response to my post for the answer ;o)

[kishap31]

Owwwwwww!

[babah77088]

OH MY GOD WHERE WAS I AT WHEN THAT CAME OUT SO FUCKIN ILL OFF THE CHAIN

[ActionFarter]

yeah its obvious who are the cameos...but no one has named the DJ ?!? real heads should know...heres a hint,he's from one of the hottest group out of BKLYN in 91-94

[snakefist]

@ActionFarter

No hint needed, that's DJ Evil Dee from BlackMoon, "Enta Da Stage" is a classic and should be in every hip hop heads collection. Did you see the quick shot of ShowBiz? I miss these days when cats did it for the love of hip hop. One more thing, whoever dislikes this video must have been born after the year 2000!

[snakefist]

@ActionFarter

I stand corrected I meant to say AG instead of Showbiz, DITC all day son!!!!

[ActionFarter]

@snakefist no doubt...

[crunk617]

[xperienceths]

this never gets old

[Cosimo91991]

ne1 no wer i can get this track

[spinsirallen]

It's like I have new life again REAL MC'IN!!!!!!

[BreezelyBruin]

Shit was hot except for Puba. He's alright...but can't really carry it like that on a thugged out joint like this. Too many corny, dated references, Mr. loverman type bullshit. He didn't ruin the record but kind of slowed it down. If he's not on it it's a classic.

[SUdatsthecalloftheWU]

@BreezelyBruin so true man, all the mc's on this are good, but i reckon puba is always a bit weak, hes the wekaest from brand nubian, can't really compare him to sadat or lord jamar :)

[WillMillion15]

@SUdatsthecalloftheWU WTF? Puba was the best part of Brand Nubian.

[Beirutsandniqq4]

@SUdatsthecalloftheWU What?! Puba has the sickest flow on this track!

[mr187task]

@Beirutsandniqq4

thats the real talk puba is sick ^^

[pitbullperez]

I can only hope the new cats learn form the fourfathers of HIP-HOP. I'm tired of hearing about your cars, women, and bullshit. HIP-HOP is the voice of the urban youth as told thru spoken poetry or HIP-HOP.

[ogZEUS619]

SAD 2 KNOW THIS TYPE OF SHIT AINT COMING BACK.... NOW ALL US OLDER CATS GOTTA LIVE WITH THE GARBAGE OUT NOW.... WE NEED A HIP-HOP REVOLUTION... WHOS DOWN.... &^]

[RichyJA]

@ogZEUS619 nah its coming back not as strong as this but its gonna come back too many youngsters listening to this right now you know how many 17 year olds and 15 year olds wish they was in high school in those days?

[ogZEUS619]

@RichyJA if you say so... almost everything new is either a stolen line remixed beat ect...

[MrBboyHP]

@RichyJA Im one of them... im 16 and i love hiphop like this..

strictly hardcore!

[RichyJA]

@MrBboyHP hold it down

[IUNDA44]

YOO from Milano...the real Rap Culture 4 me!

Finese is right that word mississipi is tricky to spell.I probably spelled it wrong lol.

[iburyyoass]

@barlog20 you did XD

[Boogers4dinner]

I had the album and I also had the instrumental to this. Me and my cousin used to freestyle over this instrumental. Also we used to freestyle over "Do You" by Heather B instrumental which I also had.

[tehgreatist]

@broja79 man i still dont get it that shit is not tricky haha, been listening to this song for years and that part still confuses me

[tehgreatist]

@broja79 nah you understood, its just that ive known how to spell mississippi since 2nd grade haha, maybe because i was taught it in a rhythmic fashion but its always been simple for me so i thought that line must have had a different meaning. i guess its just as it sounds

[broja79]

@tehgreatist muahahahha, yeah man, now i got it ;)

[darkbutcher47]

@broja79 looks like it IS tricky for YOU ;)

[kumaristh3b0mb]

[TrqLvr]

It's mad lovely to hear from all you true hip hop heads out there who still feel these old school joints as if they just came out. One love, baby! One Luv!

[ParkHillProjects]

@TrqLvr true word

[mobb70]

@TrqLvr +I agrre man, These cornballs out here trying to rap with skinny jeans need to be ignored. Im angry at cats these days because shit was so real, now we have what we have and have to deal. Atleast we have shit like this to keep things level in our heads....

[omhat]

@TrqLvr its great to hear from you too man, people in this day and age dont know shit about hip-hop what ludacris collabing with bieber, come on man, there was once epmd, keith murray, de la soul arrested development, TCQ, jungle brothers, public enemy naughty by nature, grand puba, big daddy kane, etc. those were the good old days i was raised on . thank god these musicians left a legacy, along with gangstarr rip guru.

[camicakes1]

Hip Hop needs to return this!!! Cool style and sharp rhyme skills!!!

[jakesubs]

What a beat.

[LukeShuke]

@Peja16 Never seen so many legendary cats in one fuckin video...KRS, Large Pro, Finesse, Grand P, Diamond D, Fat J, Sadat, Big L (!)

How the FUCK did hip hop fall off?

[iancurtis86]

Pete Rock as well 0:46

[xperienceths]

@iancurtis86 damn nice spot, i knew this was way too dope for him to not be involved

[ForceFagerstorm]

Wow I remember this shit! These cats are well into their forties and will run CIRCLES around these cornballs in the game today. I don't even fuck with new shit today unless it's cats that have been in the game for awhile.

[LeanGangsta]

i'm down wif that

[MrDirtdevil91]

@ForceFagerstorm Duck Down & Stones Throw are still holding it down. And how bout Immorta Technique, Slaughterhouse & Y Society, Low Budget Crew etc.

[ForceFagerstorm]

@MrDirtdevil91 Yeah, DD and Stones Throw have always kept it one-hunnid, and Immortal Technique is dope. The sad thing is I didn't find out about Slaughterhouse, Y Society, and Low Budget crew until I got Sirius radio. It's almost like they want to keep quality music from the masses today, and I think that applies to every music genre.

[barrythegoose]

It don't get better then this. Classic

[bdcavalier]

this is a true hip hop all star show

[Porzstar]
