[yogurtpimp]

when hip hop and rap were still good and not commercialized the hell out of and no auto tune

and it was grittier feeling

[sethinator8]

probly the best song ever

[kds121918]

so save dat drama heres a floppy disk don't risk it, BOOYAH dats da biscuit

[DCBOOBAS]

why did he and P had to break up? Erick is clearly a better mc, rapper, or lyricist than P. I used to quote all of P lines when they were together, but once they split Erick became that dude with the hot shit and P was ok.

[JusdizOfMsc]

Man I luv dat track! Back then the shit was banging! So many Classix!!!

[rodney1b]

classic i miss hip hop like this Raw!!

[sethinator8]

back when hip hop was 99% alive

[123Geezer]

@sethinator8 - only 99%? Lol.

[sethinator8]

yea

this is 1 of the good songs and i think erick is good

but there were always some bad rappers like vanilla ice and mc hammer so thats y i said 99%

[123Geezer]

@sethinator8 - sadly I'll have to agree with you there... I'd (conveniently) forgotten about Vanilla Shite and Big Trousers. No thanks for reminding me about them!

[bugstrut]

@123Geezer Yeah, but the trousers today are too fucking tight!!! Can't Rappers just wear slightly baggy trousers, like they did in, say, '92/'93? I hate tight clothes, because they make me sweat - and I'm not even overweight.

[ganjaking187]

fucking killer tune

[GOLDETHETH]

i used to leave this song on repeat for at least 15 to 20 time when this cd came out.

[dvharris75]

This shit here some straight fire! I was in high school when this came out. Back then this album didnt even sell that well. This song was not a hit . But when compared to todays wack ass music this shit is straight BLAZIN! Damn this shit is dope. Man the old school was the shit. All the raps and beats back then were hard as hell. Brothers came strong back then. No weak rapping and beats.

[Kanientakeron]

[Killabeez699]

nobody fuck with e dub hes old school pioneer, rips the shit outta all the wack MC's nowadays

one love

[ironcity1028]

I agree with everone here but the same shit happens to all music. Once it comes out strong and original ( rock, rap, alternative,etc) It's new, pure, fresh, raw. After it's out big and a money maker it all turns to rock pop, hip pop, pop pop, pop. It sucks but makes money on main stream. Today's music everything sounds the same.

[stuntz99]

One problem w/ the 80's generation is all they had were nutt huggers. And they rock it w/ a tank top with either a mullet, jerry curl, or the famed jerry curl mullet. Late 80's they just added lines while thinking about whether to get a fade or not. Best area 92' to about 97' or 98', but now I just feel old and saying the same shit as my dad, but I lived through the 80's too as a kid and as I look back I would half to say..gay as shit. But you know it came back now and...it's still gay.

[RockStarJaseNYC]

i agree with playlist72..these mofo's are homos..thats why there pants are Down..lol..where the real straight niggas at..ya feel me..im the straight mofo from the 80's generation..

[aminalone]

let my pants sag, dont give up the booty 'coz i aint no fag,,,

[ruggedsoldier7]

anybody got this instrumental?

or know where its at?

[tubemegachiller]

you victims xDxDxD

[AvEryBadApPLe]

a real legend of rap music

[playlist72]

too bad there really is not real hiphop anymore. mobb, nas, epmd, reggie noble and keith murray. when it was hot, when it was real, when the beat pumped. this lil wayne style bullshit is gay

[ExtremeCloseUp241]

Does anyone think real hiphop will sell in today's market?

[MrPhillyrick1]

NOT A CHANCE. NOBODY HAS SKILLS. our hip hop was about skills. every song spoke on mic skills and you had to back it up.

they only play destructive negative clown music now. this is a plan put in place to keep us down. and this isnt a conspiracy.

PE had uplifting music and that scared them, so they flooded the airwaves with kill nigga kill! and they refuse to play anything positive. all songs must be negative or buffoonery to get airplay!

[P4dddy1977]

+1 i couldnt agree more.

Everytime im on the highway and the play this clown lil wayne id just like to throw the radio out of the window.

I really miss oldschool

[tyesse1]

You r phukin rite man, these guy have no chance with these guys. And there is one thing i would like to ask u what the phuck r the people talkin about now a dayz in the shitty music

[hendrixphish420]

@MrPhillyrick1 true, in the 90s, the majority of HIP HOP was about advancement of ALL peoples, uniting under the fact we are all one and the same.

people were marching in the streets for change. blacks, whites, asians and latins, all together as ONE.

the young were learning about their roots and being proud, communities were prospering from working together, songs talked about advancement, educating ones self, and chilling out.

now, like you said, all you hear is "kill nigga, kill"

[omhat]

@MrPhillyrick1 tru dat, fuck lil wayne, soulja boy, hurricane piss,

nas, rakim, old school jay-z, talib kweli, mos def, TCQ had mad skills.

[pbrown711]

@MrPhillyrick1 i agree!!

[AlcoholicNYGiantsFan]

@MrPhillyrick1 honestly, its to the point where it can only go up (been saying for years now, shit a decade. After much frustration about how ignorant our society is, and how for those of us int he NY metropolitan area, the birthplace of hip hop, we have the worst turnouts at concerts featuring fucking legends and the originators. its really fucking embarassing.. no wonder all my fav artists always seem to be in europe. Now to the radio...its really beyond the point of being laughable.

[Bloodsport1]

@MrPhillyrick1 just like the movies, even if its positive if still must be a comedy, in other words buffonery. We cant be serious.

[LeeBronze09]

@MrPhillyrick1

Could not have said it better myself Mr. P! RESPECT!

I think they need a new name for the genre they call rap now days.

Support real hip hop, LEE BRONZE!

Black Phoenix Productions!

[briank1ne]

@MrPhillyrick1 word the fuck up! im with you son! you wont catch me listening to that bullshit

[cavaleer]

@MrPhillyrick1 Very well said. I see you're an artist. I'm the managing editor of a magazine and beginning some work in TV. We should talk. Not many people see the patterns within patterns.

[jlemaire22]

[retrotronikal]

This what hip hop should be! I hoping someone will bring back the hip hop of 80's, 90's style.. I am not a big fan of the new stuff! exception of DJ Premier

[pbrown711]

DCBOOBAS right. check da production out

[DCBOOBAS]

This beat is ruff & rugged!!!! E was ahead of his time with this joint. The beat was so smoove that the Lord's of the Underground borrowed it for Funky Child.

[dkbballhagen]

[pionyang]

GRANDE ERICK !

[thesupernova777]

Most slept on producer in Hip-Hop EVER.....The East Coast equivalent to Dr Dre..Sampling P-Funk b4 The Chronic & Doggystyle.

[caimbus]

Right before the EPMD break up

[Chessboxer09]

Yeah I was wondernig what the song is at the beginning too. Im guessing its an old Parliament Funkadelic song

[ruggedrider7]

I just noticed that the same song is played in te background throughout the song.

[DARKMAN7SEVEN]

Anybody know the name of the song playing at the beginning?I like the beat.

[chronaden]

i can't seem to wonder if this song originally started out as "hittin' bitches"? :P

[notadjfor1]

actually the song originally was "Gettin' Stitches", dedicated for all the ass whoopings he received for running his mouth at the wrong people.

[bklynsfynest2k3]

luv that beat...i remember being mad EPMD broke up and then a few weeks later i heard this and was like Erick aint playing

[mshelton0222]

Wow! This takes me back... Joints like this birthed me being a hip-hop head 4real!  Thank God for Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps!!!

[xpoondiggy]

this beat was hard as hell

[cman750rr]

Recall back in day summer of 88 when I first heard Eric , lord I said who is this guy ? Mad skills ..Eric beats are 100% real . Much respect.

[PoppaPuffaLot]

I'm getting sick of seeing HOW MANY RAPPERS GOT RICH OFF THA BEAT MY FARTHER CREATED & HE NEVER GOT A DIME 4rm NONE OFTHEM 4sampling this drum beat rite here....

[LastTrumpets7]

I always wondered where that beat came from! Good Looks and holla at me! I'm doin big things, we can get daddy paid after all, cause I'm sure all he really wanted was to see YOU eat!

[SavoyPrime]

[germxv]

[buggeazy]

my response video write in crieg mack-get down you fuc lol and anybody else wants in

[Zacoola89]

The Real motherfuckin' shit! Respect to ma men Eric S.!

[ezekielthemack]

This beat is so SICK it needs to be admitted to the E.R. ;-)

[MichaelOnasis]

This is the REAL.Just break bread & kick in..

[macadoughshus]

"No Pressure" was, in my opinion, one of the best rap albums ever made. Pretty much a perfect execution of what E-Dub does best.

[ejtimm]

I love this song also,and the beat is great!

[CrowdPleeza]

This beat is sampled from the Skull Snap's song 'It's A New Day'. It's been used by a lot of rappers. Blackmoon used it for 'Who Got The Props'.

[btxair33]

i know the dude who made this beat! hot huh?! if you spit he's got a track for you!

[cman750rr]

Exactly .............the beats of E Double the green eye Bandit ! Priceless...

[CobraLord]

hard hitting funk murk!

[nicdgreek]

This beats make me want to start breaking stuff and causing Ruckus. Erick Sermon does a good job of provide the hype tracks as well as the laid back joints.

[CobraLord]

word uuuuuuppp. yeah this track makes me wanna do the same. It hits so hard!

[Nightowl358]

Real hard hittin' shit right here.

[Ata1981]

Hát ez valami kibaszott kemény track

[WaldoRojas]

yo E

[mikeysa]

Haven't heard this in AGES!

It's still great!

[Ironman26]

Classic!!!

[RecklezzDJisback]

Sermon a crook

[thesupernova777]

the most underated producer EVER

[Dirk420]

The Green Eyed Bandit wasn't the best lyricist content wise but his shit always sounded dope...and those muddy bass lines fit him perfectly as he was "swinging hardcore like an orangutan"

I ended up buying 3 copies of No Pressure b/c my tape popped twice from all the countless plays in my ride. Those bazookas thumped back in high school to his beats.

[glacierdon]

I disagree. E Double was one of the original punchline rappers. He bodied shit! And how many producers copied his shit especially from the West Coast.

[Bamfism]

COSIGN!!

[Bamfism]

Whether w EPMD or dolo the E Double E ALWAYS comes with that grimy FUNK!! Erick Sermon IS Hip Hop....

[deelyp]

That's that gritty 12 bit sp1200 shit

[base1er]

why,.i gets busy,.who is he,..the rough neck from new york city!!!

those lyrics meant alot to real ny;ers when this came out...y'all already know where it all came from....

[qwandiddy]

School Daze, House Party 1 and 2 are the best yo. But Dont forget Boys in da hood and Harlem Nights

[qwandiddy]

I love those two parts on Whos the man when they messed up that dudes hair "YO WHAT DID U DO TO MY HAIR? DAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Other part when Ed Lover chased my favorite rapper Guru to the east river and Dre Asked "DO ANYONE HAVE A CARFARE"

Man nowadays 2000s Black movies aint shit but fake except Barbershop

[elbunker222]

I miss this shit

[djkillahhhbee]

Nice & Chunky Erick Beat Here NIce...

[qwandiddy]

I love this Song, It was on "Who's the Man" movie on that part when "House of Pain" was playin cards. CLASSIC RULES!!!

[bmore77]

This is a diss song aimed at Parish Smith.

[kamesan]

I was just lookin @ this on vhs. I was sorely dissapointed in the video......false advertisement.

[2FRsoul]

This beat thumps with Enormous Force.

[TariusShinobi]

That Beat is Hard !!!!!!!!

[shadinja]

Hard Suck!!!!! ooops, did I say something wrong *thinks* no, it still sucks. *fake smile and thumbs up*

Awesome. Some old school shit from the E Double.

[beijingzoo]

that break wasn't lifted from stezo. it's the skullsnaps a million tracks contain the sample, its up there with amen and funky drummer for most sampled drums.

[WilOne52]

Dope but heard he took the drumbeat off the Stezo track which I thought was real fuckin lame of him. Gets the bozack.

[1dmick1234]

real hip hop that's on point...

[199hate]

DOPE

[else3573]

This beat was SO hard. Loved this shit. E's first solo joint is mad slept on by kids nowadays...

[truthoverlies]

Classic shit. Who's the man soundtrack.

[wbgfsdert]

This was straight up MPC produced beats, not all this synth, and Computer shit nowdays.

[dharmaboy75]

When Hip Hop was good. none of this SoulJah Boi- I made my shit with a CAsio Synth from WalMart.
