Leaders Of The New School - Sobb Story (Video)

[RefRobGibson]

What happened to hip hop? This is when it was good.. Good beats, good rhymes, no drama, no east coast/west coast junk.. Just good beats, good rhymes and it was simple.

[bluemonkjd]

Damn, were they all like 18 at this point?

[Shrbarnett]

aaaahhhh such good memories- grew up listening to this:)

[mhoussel]

Remember this back in the day when I really didnt have a car and was steady walkin'. This song motivated me to go out and do something for myself. Joined the service, finally went to college, and twelve rides later, feeling pretty good 'cause I'm off my feet with two decent and dependable rides sittin in my driveway. Remember the days when rap had a message and could make you move in your mind and on the dancefloor? What happened?

[robs70986987]

the name is pretty ironic nowadays

[iSwagggg]

look at me. i insult new hiphop and say the old stuff is way better...

[3YECANDY08]

[diaculpa]

this album was ill. most peeps who know busta dont know his original crew.

[oneluv72]

PLEASE..........REUNION!!!!!

[BrotherApexx]

@oneluv72 I been saying the same thing since they did that one last track--"Keep It Movin'" on Busta's first solo. Bittersweet. They had so much potential. 

[siergitt]

wait your 21 then honor the 90's with a present swing damn that's what I'd do!:)

[Bienaime76]

One of my favorite sh*t! I was in high school when this dropped! Still a clasSICK!!!

[mspussygalore]

[howardg93]

DAMN I MISS HEARING MUSIC THAT HAD VARIETY DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT

I MISS THE EARLY TO MID 90'S IF SCIENTISTS WANTED A GUINEA PIG FOR TIME TRAVEL I'D GLADLY GO JUST TO SEE THE EARLY TO MID 90'S AGAIN.

[ptrainer2004]

i'm sure everyone recognizes the young busta rhymes..... these guys broke up over who was the "leader'' of leaders if the new school... maybe dinko d and charlie brown should've backed off it and they would be millionaires too just like busta rhymes

[jawjam21]

How many people remember Charlie losin it on camera on Yo MTV Raps? ( Im pretty sure Fab 5 Freddy was hostin ) ... Those were the days. I wonder if he's still "salty" over Busta's career ... he just never got the shine HE just knew was comin. Regardless .. Legendary group out of the 90's.

[dwstayner]

Remember when Hip-Hop told a story? Real Talk right here.

[billyripp]

When you here songs that you grew up with it;s good to say how old you are. Hell! I was 14 going on 15yrs old when this came out, add 20 yrs to that, and that would make me 35. Damn! I'm getting old.

[GundamBladezz]

why people keep saying how old they are? who cares just enjoy the video

[myasman]

@GundamBladezz We just want people to know that not all 20 year olds is into this "swag" rap

[yonastyer]

Im from Houston and this true real hiphop. I wanted to dress and act like these boys. It was beautiful to be yourself. Non of this fake im a thug, dope dealer bull shit. I miss this era. NOW MUSIC IS GARBAGE. MUSIC NOW IS POISON IN OUR COMMUNITY.

[luvbig41]

@yonastyer Exactly.......Music nowadays is definitely poisoning our communities. Kids want to emulate these idiots who don't even know how to wash their ass properly.

[MrMajik2]

I'm a Uniondale native, and this group meant a lot to us as kids. I miss this era.

[shortiikhold]

Nicccce

[carboleda9]

9 people dissed Rob... and crashed

[tasteycornbread]

The media has made it so you have to be a THUG or GANGSTA to be recognized in the industry of Hip Hop. Like KRS-ONE said.."what goes comes around goes around I figure, now we got white kids calling themselves n*@@ers"

[oneluv72]

Tribe .....Jungle Brothers......Black sheep.....De La....Queen Latifah....Moni love!! The Native tongue movement was a beautiful time in Hip-Hop!!!

[TP33IME]

a never ending classic

[AtoneMuhammad]

9 people are walking...

[LightStreak567]

[Rzafearless614]

OOHH MY GOD THIS MAKE ME BACK IN THE DAYS THAT IS REAL HIP HOP, FUCK 50 CENT,LIL WAYNE ECT..... THIS REAL HIP HOP FOREVER!!!

[evethezealot]

Saab Story (I preferred to spell it this way) was among my faves on this album. I used to listen to this EVERY DAY on my way to school. I can't wait for this type of era in hip hop to return. As it stands, Christian hip hop is among all there is out there that's authentic to the genre! Cats in that subgenre like Stephen the Levite, sivion, Corey Red, timothy brindle, and shai linne are among the only dudes holding it down. Mainstream has raped rap and artists don't realize slavery ended in 1865.

[TheCardsfan2]

@evethezealot brought back memories wit that comment man! Walking to school in 8th grade it was either "A future Without a Past" or "The Low End Theory" lol!! THose were the days. Maybe switch it up with some BlackSheep, Geto Boys, Naughty by Nature some old BDK, you already know!

[blizzyrock]

BUSTA U ARE A TRUE ICON OF THE GAME CUZ U HELD UR GROUND & CONTINUED TO RELEASE ALBUMS SO WE KNOW THAT U GOT DETERMINATION FLIPMODE IS DA SQUID-DODD NO DOUBT!!!!

[diasporavisuals]

I know you n you know me....nostalgia 7th grade

[JtheValient]

God...I miss hip hop from the early 90's man. The music was so fresh and pure. I remember a time when BET and MTV used to show nothing but music videos like this all day everyday, and now everything is so mainstream and commercialized wit nothing but bullshit "reality" tv.

[bcaesar80]

@JtheValient u aint never lied!

[Bbird408]

Maybe one of the top 10 of all time

[wubranch1]

Puff ruined hip hop, because he started the whole, no need for content I'll just talk about my status trend.

[3YECANDY08]

classic!! my type of music

[angryellow313]

This song passed me by back in the day, but now I can't get enough of it mane.

[803Godson]

absolutely classic!

[cdc2200]

back when a Nissan Pathfinder was a luxury vehicle, lol

[MrCbwTV]

@cdc2200 HA HA!!!! U AINT NEVER LIE!!

[salsa2good]

busta rhymes?!??!!?

[Statick1]

@salsa2good

Yep, Busta was with LONS before he went solo.

[peglegspartner]

Is it my imagination or is that a young Tupac?

[desmondruff]

check out the rides.. That 2 door Pathfinder was THE JOINT back in the day..

[flipgood89]

@desmondruff ...lol, you're not jokin. I wanted one of those in the worst way when I was a shorty.

[Ebowser1977]

I remember when Uniondale use to look like that...Damn those were the days 

[sohchx]

Them cross colours outfits is off the chain!! I wore the shit outta them in 7th grade.

[harapuiawing333]

@sohchx dont forget da karl kani

[scientifico]

Busta look like a black Lee Marvin. Yo Bus, ther's a club called the Lee Marvin Club. You should be president!

[bohemianblue2]

Classic!

[themayorofchicago]

c brown was the illest one I can't explain why never made it solo

[Eatdearplease444]

[ddotcarter06]

You this was my theme song in college! Couldn't get no play when I was car-less - now them ho's want a fella! I know you and you know me! lol!!!!

[ElectAPromQueen]

@ddotcarter06 LOLZ!!! Did us h.s. prom queens diss you too? At 17, I would've gave you a ride in my cherry red Mitsubishi truck or the '90 Black Toyota Camry. I was shouting "Independent Woman" before Destiny's Child ;)

[iluvmyboba]

MILO...I was always about MILO!!!! Dude is a MAD CUTIE!!!!!

[trapset9]

L.O.N.S. is kickin'. classic beats yall. when hip-hop was real.

[ElectAPromQueen]

Ha! Cherry Pathfinders. Raise your thumb If you still drive a Pathfinder!

[buzz851]

@ElectAPromQueen That is awesome! I favorited this song because of the pathfinder line. I am going to town on mine right now, Calmini 3" suspension lift, steering kit and body lift.

[ElectAPromQueen]

@buzz851 Yeah!! let's bring back Pathfinders. So Retro Chic.

[ElectAPromQueen]

@buzz851 Ha! Let's make Pathfinders hip again in 2011. Sooo Retro Chic.

[shlyanth]

I used to love Leaders...takes me back to middle school on this track.

[RichyJA]

[Donnomercy]

Cats ain't ready for the renaissance of hip hop

[kash24ny]

@ 2:19 Charlie Brown kills that East-Coast Stomp...

This song came from LONS first CD "A Future Without a Past".... If you are into old school east coast hip-hop, I suggest you cop that CD..... Classic Fire!!!!

[N9NEseventeen]

[chevymelo66]

@vladybutt no you weren't.. just keep her alive.. i have 4 kids and i play nothing but instrumentals for them as of now.. i keep them off the radio.. your generation has the of having it all at the touch of a button.. not like us.. we had to dig through crates just to find some good stuff..

[XclaimArt]

@vladybutt wanna fuckin cookie? there are tons of people that are younger than you like me, i'm 14 but i don't try to be special so sit the fuck down and shutup

[WeedHeadInControl]

@vladybutt you, me and a million others

[therealog231]

@vladybutt I'm only 20, and I tell myself that everyday, ha.

[atlanta4950]

1991-94

[jeslove2003a]

[AlexKalicinski]

[354mwizard]

Busta Rhymes was 19 at the time he was in Leaders of the New School.

[TrueVintageRnBFan]

Nice!  I'm old skool myself and I never heard of the is video or song

[boofdfast]

Oh yeah, can't forget about the 86-94 Pathfinder and the 80-86 Saab 900. Miss all the old school cars from back then.

[boofdfast]

Aww... at the old school cars in the vid, 81-84 K-car, 79-85 Olds Toronado, 82-85 Celica GT hatchback, 87-90 Nissan Sentra and the 80-85 Olds Delta 88... they're riding on the hood of. These guys should reunite... love Charlie Brown and ole Busta. Back when peeps were about having fun in videos and NOT trying to be fake pimps. The dirty South ruined rap... now it all sounds the same, like CRAP. Those days were cool.

[nappygamer]

oldskool



[danijanimi]

c-brown was sick man! :)

[975theo]

damn, a year after i was born when it came out. i wish music was still like this. damn, they need to reunite. this song is on beast mode.

[elsunn]

@975theo i was 17 when this dropped...L.O.N.S was def a problem!!! peace...

[975theo]

@elsunn i could imagine. this song hits hard. they should reunite and do an album.

[ghost4doom]

[buckgrobes56]

[Solograph]

[FirstClassRej3ctz]

This song was just another classic of A FUTURE WITHOUT A PAST by Leaders of the new school.

Even back then I would tell my boys Busta should make a solo project.... now look.

[psychoreactive]

[danextbestballa]

[Badass187Daniel]

We need to bring the jams and the energy of the 90's back!

[eboyd32]

[luigi65]
