almost 4 minutes long- no cuss words, or use of the word hoes, bitches, nigs, etc. just straight up flow and smooth delivery. when rap was poetic or told a story about where you came up from and what went on in your hood.
@buster560 oh you punk bitch your moms pussy is overrated.the homies in the hood still bump this shit just like your mamma.never call a rakim song overrated
@buster560 well what the fuck do you listen to mr. music critic. if u have an opinion keep it to yourself oh or better yet just dont waste your time watching it dumbfuck
It doesn't matter what year you're in, this Album takes you back in time & I mean BACK in time!! I'd be happy to send this into Outer Space for the Aliens to discover what Hip Hop is on Planet Earth!!
man who even lets these porch monkeys near a microphone there should be a law agaisnt this dum baboon blabbering they only thing these guys are getting paid in ful is there wellfare cheques and there just going to spend it on fried chicken bannanas
@macjackplank Your opinion has been stated. However, if you hate it then get off the video and write it down to yourself or something because this IS hip hop.
take me back so damn hard. that scratching at the end was sick. everybody could scratch back them! tables was like PlayStation! ya'll don't even know the half.
Man Im doing my own personal research on Old School Hip Hop, cause I havent really heard alot of, I began listening to rap in late 90's and really only knew about Tupac. But Rakim and Eric B. are off the chain. This might be one the best hip hop albums off alltime. Thus when you listen to alot of these old songs you see where alot of the instrumentals new artist use come from
@TheBowlingAddict the old school is the best i listen to almost all stuff from late eighties to mid nineties and yeah this tupac stole this beat for hit em up
true, the 90's was a good time for real hip hop & rap too, they we're heavily influenced by the 80's, and 80's instrumentals we're sampled alot in the 90's, dnt really listen to the new hip hop or shall i say hip pop
WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL!!! can you imagine if some dope music like this was released today some people wouldnt even be ready for the awesomeness. so much BS through the radiowaves nowadays. anyway thank 4 uploading man.
