[Mike0bluez]

This rap has actually been in the back of my mind for a long long time, I knew KRS and Marley did it but had no idea what it was called, found it finally.

[Frost1758]

Actually this beat sounds better in Pete Rock - Tha Game song which was released in 1998.

[PrEsTiGePlAyA17]

Famous Mr.Magic

[eblonde88]

yeah this is a classic im thankful for real hip pop krs 1 was a beast at his time i was just listening to some wu tang dats the shitt..

[PeeteyP]

ouch, anyone heard that? now maybe I understand more what the beef was all about...

[iWantMyNuggets]

First time i heard this i was like wtf is he saying? I keep your eyes and turn the time xD? Haha big time fail

[susejrodavlas]

@iWantMyNuggets I sincerely cannot believe that you think he's saying "I keep your eyes and turn the time". If that's the case. Stop listening to music. Do yourself the favor. You barely understand anything. LOL. He's saying..."I keep rising to the top...and my mind go...give it all you got, give it all you got. Jajajaja. Too funny.

[iWantMyNuggets]

@susejrodavlas Nono of course thats not the case anymore. I did when i was alot younger. Im not english so i have a harder time hearing text. U know? But now i understand most the stuff im listening to (:

[crashmidget15]

People who think hip hop is dead dont spend enough time on Youtube.

[frozendarks]

Misscedar u are a stupid XD sure there is best mc's in spain is kase o and in america is KRS 1 ......DICKHEAD

[RkoSerbia]

classic KRS

[LGKids]

I know I just left a comment, but the end of this is just classic and shows you that you took the stage and the mic and you met in the middle and go at it! Battle rap, the battle rap! Miss the days, bring em back, bring em back! Peace!

[LGKids]

KRS One wrecks on the beat, he would take out most of anyone out there today! You disagree, when the last time you told the radio dj or club dj "play that again?' Think about it, get back at me and then we can talk, I thought so, I know you gonna listen to this again! No diss and peace!

[caliboy1844]

this beat whas stolen bitches..

[sickathanyoav88]

so is everything in hip hop lol calm down. samples are stolen

[24okay]

@caliboy1844 So, who would be better to use it than KRS? Huh?

[houstonCHRONICal281]

@caliboy1844 aint nobody care bout tha beat hoe.

its bout tha meassage, millions of beats are "stolen" or used.

look up the amen beat and its history, that will change your view of whats stolen.

samplin aint shit.

[XxMIKExXM4IN]

@caliboy1844

Yeah so? Hip Hop steals beats and then the emcee's rip that shit. And you know this shit is fire.

[sosavidz]

@XxMIKExXM4IN haha thats the best response i heard to some faggots comment

[190dennis190]

@caliboy1844

Dude in this new game you guys shit each other over copyrights, right? The old hip hop was purely love in the streets.. cats like you need to recognize..

[AGbeatzz]

KRS ONE

[swifer616]

Apathy used this beat on his song The Game.

[broadcast040]

Henry Mancini - Theme from The Girl From Petrovka

i like 'pete rocks - tha game' beat better, but this one bangs

[EWCMILK]

KRS sound so good keep the classics comin

[previousprevious]

The BEST SONG !

[tomazAlb]

[tomazAlb]

orgasmic beat

[BboyDractu]

PORCO DIO!!!

[Microphonechecka2]

KRS can still rap circles around these weakass rappers today

[MissCedarbridge1]

@Microphonechecka2 you need to stop haten on MC's because you dont even know what a weak rapper is we fans need to come together and like all MC's why dont we old school MC's done this for us now why we cant do this for them and again there is no #1 rapper because all MC's are the best

[kubus333]

Pete Rock used this sample much better but Marley did nice job too.

[clubbinmag3]

this dude!!!!! a verbal asset.. a audio blessing

[kastrostyle]

where i can get the instrumental?

donde puedo conseguir la instrumental?

[spacehond]

That beat, those rhymes mang.

Too fucking sick.

HipHop Lives Motherfuckeerrssss!!

[leknyzma]

The REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HEREEEEE....... Thats his life amigos...

krs-one is like scarface just in music....

from 0 to king! u gotta respect mc shan and krs one if u have a bit of hip hop knowledge

[HCadrenaline]

This song is a relief to all the shit thats getting released in the past decade

[johnjnukemsheridan]

This is a great album...KRS bringing it yet again...I frequently work out to this. Nice sentiments at the end too ;)

[Jish1992]

The beat is a rip-off, Ghostface's "The Game" sounds the same..

don't get me wrong, the beat is ill, the track is nice, but it aint original..

[FiswaT]

the same sample was used

the composition, beat structure...etc is different

[dayv1982]

i had anal sex with your mother , im not the first , nor will i be the last .

originality is overated

[Jish1992]

having anal sex with dead people is kinda original...

[JahGuidanze]

its the same sample thats why... not a rip off

[selfhoodsoul]

@Jish1992 its just a sample of the melody! Remember how hip-hop started so don't hate on it

[autte]

DOPE BEAT

[mesie2006]

Whos this Chante he keeps banging on about, i can't find her anywhere?!..

[Capoiera1]

her name is Roxanne Shante, and she was a part of marley marl's Juice Crew. shes considered an early a pioneer of hiphop. just wikipedia her

[OldSchoolHipHopLover]

One of KRS ONE's Best songs.

"GIMME ALL YOU GOT!!!"

"GIMME ALL YOU GOT!!!"

[GROWINGLIKEAWEED]

this shit makes me wanna cry... powerful words yo.

[smoothpants]

Third verse? WOW!

[floydc1]

This joint is straight from the heart...I remember the mix show battles, 98.7 v 107.5

[elmuttski]

You kids r funny. Lucifer seems to have the idea right. The truth is I havent heard anything decent since technique...

[autte]

big up

[makaveli88888]

learn some hip hop history and il learn to write like a proper human being lol

[fergzca]

why do people go into every thing talking bout lil' wanye and all those peoples... if they suck so bad, why r they so stuck in mouths in every word u speak, ur all birds

[KillaLipstickkk]

Damn right fergzca, totally agreed. All these people are trying so hard to be "real" when they really aren't, that they forget about real hip-hop. Ask any one of them who their favorite MC is, what will you hear? "2Pac!", of course. Makes me angry. And all that you say soulja boy I say Pac shit, come on, really. Shut the fuck up and listen to some good hip-hop. Why not concentrate on the dope new music we get from the underground EVERY SINGLE DAY. People, stop trying so hard and start enjoying.

[makaveli88888]

2pac a fuckin legend man u dnt no shit !!! i listen 2 underground all day bt u cnt b dissin pac he top 4

[KillaLipstickkk]

I'm not dissing 2pac, what i meant was that people with little knowledge of hip-hop think it's so real to say that 2pac is their favorite rapper, because actually, many of them don't know anyone better than 2pac. And in no way is Tupac a top 4 rapper, sorry. And please, learn to write like a normal human being.

[niggawithattitude0]

the old school rules not this comercial shit rip eazy-e nini-x tupac bigie etc

[migaageiss4life]

Why we are speaking about lil Gayne? DONT U KNOW !? MAN... Cuz People are killing hiphop while calling that faggot a rapper...

agred allways lil gayne - 2 pac shithead - biggie damn give me a breake What about MOP Krs one rakim gangstarr all thats shit....

[Lucifer986]

just idiots think hiphop started with 2pac lol as if before and after thiere wherent any more emcees. and i guess u dont much about pac accpt what MTV told you lol did u know Pac use to hang with buckshot and duckdown and that he loved the wuu-tang stuff even wanted to sighn them

[makaveli88888]

every one who knows hip hop knows it didnt start with 2pac giv me some credit !!! hes my num 1 is all for the fact of his work rate and passion .. nt sayin there arent better mcs out there ..talib kweli b4 he turned gay.. wu tang.. 8 diagrams was a big let down?? .. krs 1 of course.. ganstarr.. bla bla bla..different opions different people all gud hip hop all day anyhows !!!

[Lucifer986]

peace hiphop1. i wont lie 2pac is one my fave simply dues to his personality and passion truely unique

[Lucifer986]

because believe it or not  so much garbage coming form underground.

[numbaspot]

listen to immortal technique

[Lucifer986]

what about him i have all his mix tapes and cds

[numbaspot]

i bet you do.

[MyNamesMatt]

damn...

look at hip-hop now

KRS would rip soulja boy, shawty Lo, Flo Rida, all those clowns...such a disgrace to legends like this

[HBK123454321]

krs went hard on dis track, the beat was heavy. This guy is a pioneer in this game FUK DAT LIL WAYNE CRAP FKIN GANGSTA WANNABE

KRS 1 4 life

[lyricist614]

[Named333]

[Jehovaaaah]

marley marl is a genious, so is KRS.......................

Didnt J Dilla use this Sample too? someone hit me back

[theorientalpearl]

many producers took the sample, like Pete Rock, Timbo and J Dilla i think too

[Jehovaaaah]

yeah pete rock, timbo, marley marl, kanye west, JMT have used it...........pete rock was the 1st, and the others followed, thanks for the response tho B.

[delasoulsgood]

yo. i dont even want to compare this to krs or marleys old tracks. i think this touches on something those really did not. either way i think every song on this album is super dope and i find them to be inspiration

[samotoy97]

lol

[RuneWalsh]

10 stars out of 5

[aluminumintoxicants]

good track, but i found it one of two on the album

man marley isn't the same marley that produced big daddy kane's albums

[kamesan]

This was a good album overall

[royalsteven]

This beat is hot. KRS always keeps it real.

[AbbottSupreme]

Dope!!!

[example00000]

Method Man ft. XZibit , DMX - Its Not A Game that's always same melody bro... listen!;)

[Skejtboard]

Yepp, but Pete Rock was the one who produced it back in '98

[basTECHNObas]

haha, doubt if people understand the irony of this track. KRS and Marley Marl saving hip hop together, who would have thought.

Dope track, thank god KRS is back

[milesIronwood93]

Yeah its pretty ironic cuz back in the day they were rivals.

[seehound619]

I dont buy the rival shit....and you shouldnt either.... just a ploy to sell more records/cd's....and it worked EVERY TIME.

[hardfelony]

hey the melody is the same as JMT - The Game

[RSXSmoke]

that track is actually from pete rock.. tha game

[PlayOnPlaya17]

Holy shit this song is HOT.

[KevinTheKevlar]

[Milkybuns]

dope beat, intelligent rhymes

[reparations07]

It seems that the amazing story he's telling is going over the commentors heads.People who remmeber the era he's speaking of must not be on youtube.

[jerm2120]

[FCAopium]

[Maj0ra]

Yo can someone tell me to get this beat, and not the pete rock version, please!

[Maj0ra]

His nose is SO damn weird. I'm not talking shit, I'm just saying, what a unique nose that fucking man has.

[FiswaT]

This an amazin beat, KRS-One is awesome i got my own version of this song if u wanna hear it look up 'Bengal Tigers Mix - The Game'

=o

[Loorits]

Pete Rock - Tha Game was released in 1998. Both songs use the same sample from Henry Mancini - "The Girl from Petrovka". Although, Pete Rock used it first.

[FiswaT]

hmm where did u get the info? and do u know where i can get my hands on em?

[kqhda]

i like krs so much...

[Snipatari]

Beat is monster !

[BBoyMill2007]

[HeavyMetalJack]

you can hear this beat in this song:

dmx,xzibit,method man-its not a game

[FiswaT]

Also with Apathy (Feat. Vinnie Paz) song called The Game, another one with Wu-Tang Clan and MF Doom called "The Game" lol and many other versions

[tsrmotocross]

What a tune

[Endtroducing101]

i think that i heard this beat on an Apathy mixtape...

[hochsr]

yeah it was used in the 'baptism is fire' mixtape which featured vinnie paz

[KevinTheKevlar]

"I'm the american Taliban..."

- Vinnie P.

[Endtroducing101]

is this an original beat?

[KevinTheKevlar]
