[vernon3rdw]

Hype as a pipper and even doper that a drug dealer



[ZaiRetsuZen]

this crew was a little wak, but for nostalgia this was cool as hell to watch!

[flipgood89]

@ZaiRetsuZen ...they were, thats why Im not surprised they disappeared so fast....but the song title was pretty clever and a great double entendre....Runs in the family = a popular phrase for a trait that is consistent among fam members....and the other meaning, that the DJ from Run DMC was producing their shit. If only their music was as slick!

[ZaiRetsuZen]

@flipgood89 i can dig it. I actually owned their cassette once! At the time they came out they were a little hype though.

[Daftendirektour]

CHILLIN LIKE A VILLAIN OVER COOKIES & MILK :B

[Jerryras57]

[78donjon]

Wow I wuz in 8th grade when this wuz out!! Ahh, the wonder years. Blink your eyes and they're gone. Never take for granted the sharpness of your memory. Sometimes thas all you have.

[twilsoninc]

anyone know where I can get the remix of this song that they sung on Teen Summit back in da day????

[SK0881]

The complete album is garbage because it only contains worse teenager love pop songs! But this album single is dope! Don't buy the album, buy the single!

[Daftendirektour]

@SK0881 yeah i just downloaded the album before i read this, and was like WTF :L

they still nice at singing, but its some real cheesy shit.

[vernon3rdw]

[SkillsVor8]

the early 90´s hip hop is like a awesome cartoon. funky, colorful, lovely and full of good storys. thx for this joint

[DivineUniversal]

These cats were pretty good, way more lyrical than another bad creation .......this song reminds me of when I used to run home after school to watch video music box, and be mad when they spent half the show giving shoutouts lol....

[wurltee31]

This was my shit! LOL! RUNS IN DA FAMLEE!

[ganzo86]

WOW ..OH MY GOD..TAKIN ME WAY WAY BACK..STILL GOT THE SINGLE ON TAPE..

[MAGIKORBIT]

they were actually down to earth

[MAGIKORBIT]

[FatKev757]

[hokukoroku]

[lari861]

[armita22]

[Akshun54]

JMJ did the scratches, love the beat!

[Lyrikk09]

Wow, I can't believe that I'm actually listening to this. I remember this many years ago and completly forgot about it. This brings back so much memories. I was about 12 when this joint came out. I remember seeing this video 3 times and it suddenly disappeard. Thanks for posting this.

[Bosshogginsupreme76]

damn dis was my shyt classic

[damieandark]

great song in some ways the mainstreaming of the genre was its worst enemy creativity has been stiffeld in favour of stereotypical images.

[Macadamienutz]

Everybody was Naughty ny Nature Carbon Copy's in 1992!

[nakedfunkswan]

Damn...I been lookin for this for sooo long!!! This shit is still dope!!

[TJ347]

Illegal owned this wackness before I ever heard it. Now that I have, I realize how spot on Illegal was. Now both of them have fallen off. Still, this is the only one that sucks.

[ATRAINC]

Underground joint!Old school Golden age.

[thesouthrapsucks]

im 14 and this is dope fuck tha new shit now tha south can suck my young gun divk!!!!!!!!

[qwandiddy]

[N8Kanu]

Very corny but still funky and way more innocent than now. Good time.

[hafstep]

[nahlidgabel1]

This use 2 be my shit, when I was in jr. high. Many people 4got about this group & who brought them out

[Iam1HipHopEducator]

this was shit, JAM MASTER JAY PRODUCE THIS

[MsBeall502]

I've been lookin for this cut!!! Family!! What would I do witout em???

[nahlidgabel1]

This was the dope shit back in the days. They could rap & sing...well, sing a lil...lol, but this was the joint though. This was the b-side to their 1st cut, "Always On My Mind"

[Juwreh]

dammit i remeber dey shit hear when i was small

[alvindalvin]

This is when young talent actually had talent. now they sound like they dropped out the 3rd grade. They can't wright lyrics let alone have good delivery on the mic at all. take notes.

[qwandiddy]

You're Damn Correct!!! Even Kris Kross, Another Bad Creation, Perfect Gentlemen, Raven Samone, Fam-Lee has very very more talent than SouljaFag, Lil "shitty" Wayne.

[westcoastkid1975]

WEST COAST- good luck finding I have been looking for about 10 years now for this version!

UNO

[undertakingswing69]

YO finally!!!!

I too have been searchin this song and you are the one for me about 15 f*&^%in years and still can not find the mp3 downloads!!

[jazzforadd]

This is a sample from Johnny 'Hammond' Smith

Song called Tell me what to do of his Gears album.

[THECOORSLIGHTKING]

WHO FARTED ?

[Superdave3426]

Hey Fam lees over here where ya'll at?

[dmariomc]

DUDE...i been looking for this video forever and i have NO idea why its JUST showing up in my searches!?

this came out when i was a senior in high school and was one of the hardest disses ever directed at ABC.

ABC came back later that year and said "Popi popi have you heard, you get no airplay WORD"

lol

[phakt]

I also been looking for this SINCE it came out. I was only 11 in '92 yet I can STILL remember the name, the hook, the beat, and for some weird reason....Tony's face (WTF??) But I didnt know how it was spelled "Fam-Lee". Not sure why all of a sudden I found it, but I aint complaining. I dont think Ive ever searched a song so long. Thanks to whoever posted this.

[qwandiddy]

I was 11 in 1992 as well. My favorite year of my lifetime before became a teenager. 1992 is actually my favorite year of Hip Hop/ RnB for LIFE..

[BudhaBluffa]

[jarbon5]

I've been looking for this one for years. I remember me, my friend and my brothers used to freestyle over the song cuz I don't think there was an instrumental for this. Still, when we would freestyle over this, we used to say some silly shit. One would be spittin' their silly little rhyme and the others would be on the floor just rolling. Man, I wish I could have those days back:)

[mike131177]

oooh S@#**^&&%%

Been looking for years for this joint! I remember this was a remix version, we had the album but this version wasn't on it. So i Taped the audio straight to tape speaker to speaker from the television lol. Waddap Misha haha.
