I think it's extremely humble (and astute) that Pete gave CL the best beat on this album! He's not the best MC... but anything sounds good on a PeteRock instrumental.
yea its hard for the Gods to shine for some reason the masses behind the scene is scared because they dont want us in those powerful positions. This whole albulm is fucking incredible. My name is Olori Manns and i had the privelage to meet the God on a few occasions and it was a blessing. My new album "Revenge of the Musik" is coming soon and its dedicated to the Gods like Pete Rock and the real music lovers. Who knows maybe after this one he might be willing to work with mw....ishAllah
@kennywu2k10 most deff man, Dilla was literally unreal with his- i mean if Pete Rock can say Jay Dee took it to another level from what he was doing is one hell of a complement. Even RZA said that J-Dilla is the only person who could have 'taken the torch' from him. thats love lol. but still his beats are incredible, probs the greatest drum programmer to ever live. ill rep for tht guy whenever.
@tomwatson1 well, chain heavy was pretty dope and that's my bitch is funky as hell. you must be one hell of a stupid motherfucker not to think Q-Tip is one of the best to do it. and your comment can be applied to Jay Dee, he doesnt make beats any more (for the obvious reason).
@TheSinghFIRE nah that was a terrbile beat... try again dude... which songs? nah qtip is lame, most of tribes best song were produced by jdilla u just dont know
@tomwatson1 you actually are incredibly stupid, Jay Dee came into the whole ATCQ field in 1995. he started to produce for beats, rhymes and life. Whilst a tribe called quest's best albums were Midnight Marauders, Low End Theory and People Instinctive Travels..., so i beg to differ when you say 'most of tribes best song were produced by jdilla'. you seriously must not be familiar with Hip-Hop to think q-tip is lame. lol, q-tip was ahead of alot of producers back in the day.
@tomwatson1 you say q-tip is lame? hahaha!!! your a joke q- tip is one of the best producers of all times. and tribes best beats was produced by q-tip!!!
@tomwatson1 thats your opinion but ATCQ have got classics like Award Tour, Check The Rhime, Lyrics to Go, We Can Get Down and Electric Relaxation. find a way is dope, but the others are classics.
@tomwatson1 ignorant shit, there is a huge difference between dope and classics, for example, Award Tour is a Classic, timeless shit, but Find A Way is just dope, not a classic. Like the other Jay Dee produced stuff like The Light and Fall N Love, they are classics, Find A Way is not in their league even though its still dope.
oh boy, this shit is soooo timeless! hip hop we know is DEAD but i`d rather listen to every old record i have instead of listening to 90% of these bullshit-plastic-rappers out there! sure, there are some bangs today but they can`t create the feeling of joints like these. they`re timeless! bow down to legens like pete rock & premier. where would i be without them?!
The vocal whoops come from James Brown's "Paid the Cost to be the Boss." I was watching Larry Cohen's "Black Caesar" and was shocked when I heard the shrieks! Peace.
i always rock to this joint lookin like a human bobblehead doll!!! yet another reason why the Soul Survivor album is a classic!!! the bassline, the hooks, everything about this track is just sicker than 10 leukemia patients with the flu
"the best to ever do it on a pete rock track" thats the truth. arguable greater mcs have spit on pete rock beats but theres somthing about da two. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth go together like lamb and tunafish
sick track from Pete Rock yo people check out my beats though and let me know what you think... music str8 from the heart and the soul i even got a beat tape up
come on man....after hearin this...how can u not say that pete rock is goat...i love preemo and dilla...but real talk,...they cant fuck wit pete rock....
CL is like a smooth wine. He flows like water, He makes you feel high without inhaling. I love him, I really do. Rakim is like a bottle of Jack Daniels, yummy.Underrated and never duplicated. Not many got that smooth feel like those brothas.nope, not mant at all. Pete, ya out did yourself, again.
I swear to god i love this piano sample man,god that shit is soulful,straigh fire when it comesto soul neither premo can fuckwith Pete, premo is the god of jazz, but on the soulnobody fuck with pete rock nuff said!!!!!
I decided today this is PERFECT hip-hop. I mean 10 out of 10. The beat is definately perfect, the hook is perfect, the mcing is perfect (I LOVE petes verse) and nice cuts at the end too! Long live real fuckin hip-hop. Theres a place in my heart for this shit im tellin ya, i love it like i love my mother!
Don't start what you can't finish, when you bubble with skills that never diminish. Your best team against mine is a light scrimmage, so play like Popeye and "eat spinach"..CL Smooth..awesome!!!
hahaha i understand the frustration. One of the only reasons i want a drivers license is so that i can sckool all those punks who blare their Rick Ross, ill pull up with TROY bumpin out the speakers.
being from the south, when i pull up to a light bumpin PETE & CL or MAIN SOURCE or even ODD SQUAD (who's from TEXAS!) these skittlehead bastards look at me like i'm listening to martian music. i just turn my ish up louder and peel off !!
Finally we got the best to ever do it on a Pete Rock track, CL Smooth. I'm glad they gave us two classic LP' back in the day. This joint is another one to their timeless collection.
