Pete Rock - What are you waiting for

[shutuprusty]

2 people dislike? Wtf? How could you not love the shit out this!

[reignmanfan40]

wtf i have this album and i dont have the best track on it

[8igBlues]

this is damu the fudgemunk lol! respect to pete rock but this aint him lol

[BigLikeTheSun]

My rap to it:

Come in' I'll make you a fishy fish McSandwich

from tha' ocean to tha grill to tha plate It's delish

Yo (rapper #2 comes in)

I scratch my cat with a, flippin' base ball bat

cause he fat like dominoes and big like G

[lucky24435]

@BigLikeTheSun you sound like mainstream bullshit lol

[murphyhurtme]

pete rock is my favorite after j dilla

[BassBeatsProductions]

This instrumental alone will forever be a classic to me because of the vibe it gives off. You can play this on a beautiful sunday afternoon or in the nighttime just chilling. That's what music should do to you. Simple or Complex, it should put you in a place. Real or Imaginary. And that's what this song does to me.

[ghostriderjag]

hit me up wit a bag of kush..i hit of dat shit and im hooked...the next day i booked a flight to st. tropaze..Rolled up a blunt on da plane and was flown away to nothing less than a paradise..went to da casino to roll some dice and it was nice...saw a japanese chick and took her to eat fried rice..we went out twice and stopped to say a prayer to christ and night...

[brothamouzoune]

roll up a blunt and joint the hunt

for the life i left behind pete rock help me unwind

you've found it? you're far too kind

now hit me with your dopest rhyme and i'll call it a crime

your lyrics are slime while im sublime

don't resist, i insist, you want to see my fist, you get the gist?

nah but im not about hate that shit will send ya away from the pearly gate

all about tolerance and realizing that we've got a fate

[jjasm2]

this is masterpiece.....

[Andrelecount1]

SMH AT THIS DUDE AND HIS GOLDEN EARS LOL.

[thegreeniydbandit]

~ My favorite Pete Rock cut of all time. The staggered scratch cuts on the hook are simple, yet amazing.

[blackthought95]

I might have to download this one, it's not on my Petestrumentals album

[bellmario35]

I need to get this to add to my collection

[yungadizzle]

music that reminds you of what you were doing and where you were doing it at..

priceless

[DJCOLLIE]

@yungadizzle I feel u!

[theEdinero]

Damn that is some funky ass shiiyat. Pete Rock is a true prodigy.

[NERV1233]

ripped apart, torn in half walking the unbeaten path is half the battle escaping pianos and falling anvils, dash and scramble the mumbo jumbo into something manageable time stands still unreal conquest guided by your arrogance mainstream intolerant selling out would be my banishment dangling success in front of stressed carnivores with the will to make more of my poor living

[NERV1233]

@NERV1233 what are you waiting for?

[emceeschwartz]

Undeniably ILL

[noircei16]

JAzz is illuminated, and can never be

overrated, deflated only if yous hatin

Intellect is relaxin, in Brooklyn where an erection points you in the right direction

and smooth jaz beats are the latest confection,

Is not for the silver justfor passion nothing more

not for fat white guys in DC, or stock brokers, give it up for the OG tokers,

write another swarm of verses like locusts

mocha starbucks is over, im lurkin like the fuckin mars rover

my moment, i aint gonna loan it out

[cornerstone1019]

Love this track...Love how he makes the jazz stand up, as well as stand out on the track. Classic Pete Rock!

[187CBJ]

Queens

[BarsChipsnLaxin]

One word: fantastic/

Planet, dammit aliens fucking with these humans/

Two words: The shit/

Is hittin the fan when these fans, demand, more of marty/

3 words: Suck a dick/

You pricks, that look like you got somethin lodged up your booty hole which/

Leads me to 4 words: I urge every man/

And woman, to be their own person/ No more swagger jackin n clonin'

-Marty Herson

[ilmadsick]

I want to be happy thats me half free

when I write a rhyme down I'm so nasty g

I love the art rippin microphones apart

4rm the heart I'm smart words strike like darts

It's really relaxin 2 kick back when tracks run

write flows so handsome not 4 gold or mansions

Just to be heard word 4 word

while u on the curb sippin coors with herbs

[AT82Vienna]

one word: fantastic

[smokedatkronik]

[magicmak4]

pete rock go hard

[trdrav4]

Wish this was on the newer Petestrumentals album. Dope beat of course.

[EudezetProdukcje]

That beat kill me ! ;] ! Pete Rock is sick !

[pmsan29]

The bell sounding melody toward the middle is "cymbaline" by hubert laws...he kinda chopped it and slowed it down a bit though!

Love this tune by the way.

5 stars

[mhaze210]

Strange, thats exactly what most of Pete Rock's mellow beats (like this) remind me of too.

[nabeelballer]

REAL NEW YORKER HIPHOP

[MyFruta]

pete rock as ever..espectacular beat

[mIGHTyMousE14y8]

upon once a time came the kid with regular rhymes

who busts what he knows on beats with wind chimes

and he sits upon that which is comfortably ill

and description of the personna is totally chill

what words what rhythm what style with perfection

its unusual like a vampire with reflections

but he stays in the shadow of the greatest

break this, he knows those who pass the test...

[militaryminded23]

lyrical khalifah,book a diva slash seroritta,pleased to meet cha,can i get the number,if not,at least i took a shot,on to the next vixen,down shiftin,listen,i crush qrills,and make blood spill,im for real,wuts da dilly,smokin on a philly,deez fake rappers kill me,metophorically,of course,dey cant touch the source,im in da porsche wit da top back,speedin pass da speed limit, im all in it,to win it,eyes on da prize,caught u slippin dont act surprised,haterz plottin on my demise,but still i rise

Games by Dorothy Ashby

[JammerBD]

And the video this is in reply to ;)

[Akromegalex]

Incredible the way he chopped that joint!!! one of his best work for sure

[hittswun]

peep mine more vicious then, those weak rymes you listening, I keep mine exquisite off my weed high I;m hitten em, And i dont need no charity, got my own studio and propepperhead reasons on my computer program, ( just a lil written sample by big hittswun)

[2pacalypse91]

loved it

[Grayto]

The reason the picture has pete rock 'shushing' you with his hand spinning a record is because he wants you to shut the fuck for a minute and just listen.

[JBSchmoov]

smoove

[TCM666]

Yo,

Keepin' it tight/on the mic/Like/ Pete Rock/ Got/ My mind right// The styles to provoke/ Invoke/ Thoughts// To be expressed and heard/ Thats the word/ Bond is trust/ I want to accumulate some lust/ But it ain't just/ But my styles must succeed/ Bleed/ to the people/ Feed/A style unequal/ Frequent/ Verbal Techniques/ That speak/ For me and my Feats/ But still lay down the beats/ For me and my peeps/

[ellied]

haha keepin it zen like

beat too nice to be spoiled by a punk on a mic

so just inhale and get a beer thas nice and cold and just let your mnid unfold

[ellied]

i`ve got the version without this tune and i bought this album for this tune but the rest still gets me zen like after a few joints

[NOmind570]

haha keepin it zen,

[subsypher]

cud u tell me where this beats from ive got petestrumentals n it def aint on it. much thanks peace.

[JammerBD]

It was track 13 on my version of Petestrumentals. Ive looked on Amazon and that seems to have the same track listing.

[funkysideofcake]

there are two versions of this album. this song is on the first version.

[subsypher]

yeh i hate when i get short changed on vinyl! still dope lp but this is one of his illest tracks i ever heard. Also for those into mellow vibes such as this check zero 7 - another late night lp, tis just ill, peace.

[nubianmonarch]

@subsypher this was on the original release of Petestrumentals which had "Give It To Y'all" on it and not Mind Frame, To My Advantage, Back on the Block & Take the D Train. The version you copped was the re-release which came out quietly.

[Theory52]

@subsypher

It looks like you got the second edition of "Petestrumentals." When J-Dilla did his album for Beat Generation, Pete Rock was blown away by the album and Pete felt the need to go back to the lab and re-do his album "Petesrumentals" in order for Pete Rock to be up to par with the Beat Generation collection.

[subsypher]

@Theory52 i never knew that, u ever realise wen top producers are put on a project together they try an outdo each utha and it always comes out ill, i heard the same wiv illmatic, premier heard pete rocks 'the world is yours' then thort i need to redo my shit and came back wiv NY state of mind one of the illest hip hop tracks ever made

[tensorreaper666]

@subsypher There's two releases of Petestrumentals one of them takes this track away damn shame it's one of top 5 on the albums.... which means it's top 5 of all beats ever made in history by anyone :)

[alexdelgiudice1]

@subsypher have this on vinyl and somebody told me there was an insane track on it that was taken off. i guess this is it.

[Dontgetmetwisted]

@subsypher mediafire the track

[AugustFlightGordon]

@subsypher They had 2 different versions for some reason

[SmokeyCSULB]

@subsypher There were two different versions. One was a updated special edition CD. But this song was on both CD's.

[jimberland1]

@subsypher its def on the LP, the 1st track and this one are the dime joints

[hm6612]

This Man is Hip-Hop, he just has it in his bones. Love everything he touches, but hes' latest album is ......... !?
