I fucking HATE rap. But, I like this because old rap is amazing. I hate the new age bullshit. You get another like for this.

[sleestakattack]

@proskillz89 Well that's not at all contradictory.

[BermudaEntrepreneur]

Dang! It sure is good NOT seeing goddamn skinny jeans in the video. Or corny dance moves!

[HighSocietyUp]

how the fuck could anyone dislike this.

[BermudaEntrepreneur]

@HighSocietyUp Soulja boy and Lil Wayne fans?

[oldschoolbx1970]

This video should be on the tv airwaves more often instead of bullshit from Lil Wayne,Drake,Flo Rida,and all the rest of those other clowns out there.

[penallcode]

bufu



[mossy234]

Smoooove!

[panamaniak]

Damn I miss those days! I was going to Blake Business School over in the city when this came out. Call it arrogance or call it what you want there's no place on God's green earth like NYC!

[zombiesatethem]

thumbs up if you remember hearing this track during the house party scene in 'KIDS.'

[cruzdablok]

6 ppls word is not bond

[fropol]

@cruzdablok no

[MrJiguiri]

[gmatixxx]

@MrJiguiri Liar's dice ... lol

[Redboy1ism]

Peace to the GODS & EARTHS, and, all the Poor-Righteous-Teachers,univer­sal civilizers.Sadat X is another great M.C and Lord Jamal as well.

[SurgeCess]

i'd drive a garbage truck and not give a !!

[MyJunior1975]

"Everyhing Is Everything"- Brand Nubian's most slept on album. It had a live band on half of the songs, and Lord Jamar produced all but one song on the entire album. It's such a shame that this album is largely ignored out of all of their catalogue.

[MrBluntRap]

thumbs up if you think he looks like Dave chapelle!

[hankseptember]

there is no mistaking Sadat's voice :)

[dalton2621]

god damn how old am i now? ???

tune bad tho

[asininegenius]

These boys rip it up. Sadat X drops the bomb on every verse he spits.

[kmiles8176]

Brand Nubian without "Grand Puba" is like having pancakes without the syrup. I still like them,but it's just not as good.

[Th3Pollos]

PUT YO HANDS IN THE AIR!

IN THE AIR!

[phexo12]

bubz  from the wire?

[eslubin]

fubu shirt lol. fubu couldn't even get past 10 years without being considered outdated. yet something like brooks brothers goes back centuries. people probably think the FB on his shirt stands for facebook .

[plutoisacomet]

@eslubin  So what are you trying to say?

[panamaniak]

Damn I miss those days!

[poppalarge68]

Real Hip Hop Baby....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bob73004]

word is still bond in hood

[phesterjr]

Fall of 1994 is what this song reminds me of. It's giving me flashbacks of New York Undercover and getting suspended from school for fighting. Aside from that, people use to tell me about how live it was growing up in New York in '94 and '95. If it was THAT serious, I wish I would've experienced that for myself.

[panamaniak]

@phesterjr Man you don't know what you missed fam! Lol!

[phesterjr]

@panamaniak Yeah, Guiliani was mayor of New York then. I heard about that from one of my dawgs that he was trying to lock everybody up even back then but it was still fun from what I hear. I wish I had made up there, for real.

[TooKoolKris]

I had that same Fubu shirt and I was white. Fuck black people.

[OnlyDaRealest]

@TooKoolKris

Yo nigga aint nothin wrong with a white guy rockin brands like Fubu. Only ignorant racists have a problem with that. Real niggaz think thats fly

But nigga you shouldnt say "fuck black people" LOL cmon nigga

[msdangergirl1]

@TooKoolKris ....the key word in that sentence is "was"...you WERE white, but we traded your ignorant ass in the racial draft ;)

[mikeeiland1]

I heard it in NY while on a trip there in December 1994 on whatever the big station was...WBLS? 15 years ago. Very VERY creative sampling of AWB's "I'm The One". This track made me listen to the original again. I grew up with that one. Brand Nubian's treatment of this made me a believer in hip-hop...and I had just turned 40 when I heard it! Awesome!!!

[abaex]

cool track^^

[budkin]

Is the audio monaural on this vid?

[peterpiessens]

Very good track, Brand Nubian lifted hip hopup in the 90-ies, they can be titled a classic hip hop act for sure!

[ski973]

peace to the gods

[keyzopendoorz]

sadat x this. the whole alliteration is sick

[21theworld21]

supreme allah! haha i knew him as Lord Jamar first but i almost shit my pants when i saw him on Oz...

[WarrenKoolidge]

real shit

[omhat]

@jhnevans751 love Sadat X, I remember him in meet me at the 199x, talib kweli and common sense. This song was played on episode of the very first season of NY Undercover, man those were the great days. ICE-T rivaling with Malik Yoba, music from Adina Howard, SWV, En Vogue, 112, Boyz II Men, Jon. B, etc.

[dtillmann]

Nubian jams are underrated. Even without poob they slam it. I love this shit!

[elnotasconflow]

The king.

[francklb]

BEST AUDIO QUALITY ON FRANCKLB CHANEL ...

ITS VERY DIFERENT !!

[themerchant2]

peace to all the Gods & Earths

[helveticabold77]

Sadat X = One of the most under-rated Emcee's of all time. Damn, this takes me back. Not to sound like my father, but these kids these days no nothing about what real hip-hop is. Fuckin ringtone rappers. Damn.

[nojusticenoweed]

[warriorpoet747]

Peace to my Nubian brothes...

[bdog381]

[SpeedFreakNO]

[krazy1luv]

Never heard bout these dudes b4. Lyrics and flow both on point. Even the environment slash vibe of nyc is different now days then how it was back then.

[Jubeski]

word is bond and bond is life....

[OMGshhLaWLz]

I discovered this song through the movie KIDS; can't believe I was 3 when this was released. Too bad mainstream rap has taken an extreme turn for the worse.We definitely more underground artists to start shining.

[Tbroman]

@OMGshhLaWLz hell yea man Kids was great i just saw it

[RichyJA]

oh shit adat lookin like eddie griffin in this vid REAL HIP HOP

[panamaniak]

Brand Nubian...REAL HIP HOP! Weezy take notes! NYC forever! But peace to every spot that recognizes real hip hop. Rakim made that possible,and I don't even have to repeat it! Peace!

[1manmafia]

@panamaniak Weezy can't take notes if he don't know how to write.

[thatmadcat]

remember not to feed the trolls!!!

[Iroquois1000]

yo who the fuck is this clown @XmycamarogotuhatinX? lol

[keneisha1119]

sorry everybody but @Xmy you're an asshole

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

These dudes are wack and corny. No wonder hip hop is dead. I'd die too if these niggas were all there was. Racist hoes, and all you white peopel like this shit. These hoes hate you white people and yuo support them. WTF? These niggas ended up selling outlike hoes and still broke. lol

[mikeandrakeem]

the fuck you talkin about roach? get your shit straight: Brand Nubian brought raw shit to the game and were some of the best to ever come out of NY. And no, they don't hate white people (they're 5%ers) but I'm sure they'd school your bitch ass on that knowledge, seems like you need it.

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

@mikeandrakeem What you can't read hoe? You sharing your computer with your boyfriend or something hoe? Mike and rakeem? ro you just sharing a youtube acct. with your boyfriend? 5% are racist you stupid fucking clown. They were corny and still are. They act like revolutionary hoes but they advertise for Hilfiger like fashion hoes. Dudes were caught between hiphop faggot and Malcolm X. Laughable now looking back at it.

[mikeandrakeem]

troll.

[86RAN]

Tell em' mikeandrakeem.

[SCHMOOVNESS]

[DroidLife]

Instead of Sadat and the dudes we now have ASS and BLING.

Really really sad.

[barneylover321]

theres nothing wrong with ASS!

[DroidLife]

Yes but now a days it seems like the acts that get above underground only find that the whole industry is locked in place by one massive face sitting. But ass IS good too, i get your point. :D

[LONDON1KaZR]

Sadat X IS THE SHIT- BRAND NUBIAN!
