Hi- Tek "Where It Started At"

[JamJarV15]

i can imagine big flowing on this

[nkaniaru]

Mos def, Nas & Styles P and its a WRAP!!!

[cementprint]

Dope record right here !!!

Song was so needed at that moment in time. You had some of the "popular" NYC Mcs actually trying to create records like they was from other regions. SMH.

In addition, I love all four guys there styles complent each other and the beat. Everyone came correct no half steppin.

[cementprint]

@cementprint

[NYKFelton]

This song is too live. All it needs is Nas and it's easily the best song out there

[GrippaGadaffi]

JadaKiss smashed it with his silk gritty flow but Kweli kills it with the Hood intelLect and Rae & Papoose straight Hood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBoss4sho]

1 of the best songs ever if it would of aired rap would be back

[QUeensNYCUSA]

[DDuckDown860]

@ThaSubzstance doooont ever say shit about jadakiss, every bar is a jewel.

[ThaSubzstance]

@DDuckDown860 jada is a child. he sucks. always has. kweli is for grown people.gtfo.

[DDuckDown860]

@ThaSubzstance I've seen Talib live, its not like im sleepin on him, hes one of the most talented mc's. but jada has that yonkers hood wisdom, hes top 5 DOA

[ThaSubzstance]

@DDuckDown860 LOOOOL top 5 dead or alive? how, when kweli, jay, nas, jcole, lupe, kanye, common, crooked i, kendrick lamar, ghostface,rakim,reakwon,mos def are still alive. dont get me started on the dead. u needa check more dudes out before u start sayin shit like that, because i even think styles p spits harder then jada.

[DDuckDown860]

@ThaSubzstance lmao jayz jcole lupe crooked kendrick lamar......

as he had me laughing.

talib made that song palookas about you kiddo.

Kool G rap is the best rapper alive, and this where this discussion ends.

[ThaSubzstance]

@DDuckDown860 wens the last time you hurd new kool g rap? how do you he can styll rap? if your hating on kendrick, you have not hurd section 80. i know ur not a dummie so u shud check it out. i agree when kool was out he was the best,him along with rakim n kane, but times have changed man.

[Jeezymusic]

[NittyNilt]

JADAKISS WENT THE HARDEST ..... THEN RAEKWON

[EvanJag7]

COME ON EVERYONE.... RAE THE CHEF WENT THE HARDEST

[happyhaystack]

Kweli and Raekwon!

[Qweeftastic]

all this song needs is nas and mos def, then it would be legendary

[ColdBullet002]

@Qweeftastic Just nas...

[WELLROUNDEDFENOM]

real shit

[NittyNilt]

 BROOKYLN .....QUEENS......THE BRONX......HARLEM......STATEN ISLAND...YONKERS

[131093720]

I want a remix . With Rakim and Nas !

[DocGreen15]

Jadakiss & Talib Kweli went hardest

[ferraro05j]

Pap deff kills it but I think he could done better.

[ssyphilis]

pap didnt do shit for this song, and nobodys sleepin on talib....

[assoomg]

Pap was the weakest? you guys gotta be joking. Kweli and Pap did best.

[QUALY88]

SF city we see the movement. Revolution!!

[sergey023]

You gotta love it!

I will miss you hip-hop when you gonna leave us completely, but as long as we got few classics in the car we will always remember you

[NZTA80]

PAP is second BIG L nodoubtly

[NyCDeViL9010]

@NZTA80 Big L is 5x better than Papoose

[NZTA80]

@NyCDeViL9010 are u fuckin kidding...

[NyCDeViL9010]

@NZTA80 You must be outta your mind to think Pap can fck with syllables and flows like Big L.

[NZTA80]

@NyCDeViL9010 no son, big L is overrated as fuck. I admited him beacuse they gotta a similar flo and that's all.Lirycally pap killes big L 10 times

[NyCDeViL9010]

@NZTA80 Big L is underrated. He's right up there with Pac and Big lyrically. Papoose had the worst verse on this song. Every person on this song has better structure and subject matter in their verse than Papoose. No disrespect to Papoose but that's like saying he's better than Eminem

[hydeph]

@NyCDeViL9010 I agree pap was weakest

[arthurremiao]

PAPOOSE

[333gpp333]

[131093720]

Wheres Nas or Jay Z ?

[bayront92]

[S1RCHARL3S]

nas should have jumped on

[johnblaze46]

@S1RCHARL3S agreed nas woulda murdered this beat!

[RelaxednCaIm]

@S1RCHARL3S

nas was already on this album though(music for life)

[AmericanGangsta303]

@RelaxednCaIm yes but i think dion is on the album twice so why nas should be only be once on it?

[RelaxednCaIm]

@AmericanGangsta303

idk, but his verse on that joint was so flawless, wouldn't want him to mess it up by having a good but not flawless verse verse on another joint..lol

the second rapper "papoose" sucked other than that great song i really liked it.

[BlueIsLike]

@metalmusiking Papoose verse was iLL it must been to complex for your dumbass! But i give you this his style is a lil wierd but overall he is a great MC.

[metalmusiking]

@BlueIsLike to complex for my dumbass? lol i assume u tried to offend me but failed :P anyway i dont give a shit what was that, cursing and calling everything around you nigger is just sad.

it shows that the guy have nothing to sing about so he curses alot to look cool to hide his incompetence "papoose" is a fail rapper the other guys were good, deal with it.

[BlueIsLike]

@metalmusiking I said one curse word and you took it as i just said every curse word in the dictionary and a other thing if you didn't give a shit why even waste

your time replying. We can see that you got very butthurt over that comment.

On Papoose the only reason why he not as know as the other rapppers in this video cuz DJ Kay Slay has him on a slave contract.

His lyrics talk about things that happen in the street of New York .

Black get burried like the cellphone. Word Play

[1l0velesbians]
