all my favorite groups from NY at that time were on this video Audio Two, EPMD, Ultragnetic MCs, Stetsasonic, Oran Juice Jones, Biz and Eric B showed up but all those groups are still like the best.
@FastWillaysWifey yeah funny how this brand of rap, that was pretty much the top of the heap at that time, went nearly 100% underground while gangster rap took over the spot light. I love the masterpiece that was The Chronic like any hip-hop fan but Dre and those guys were promoting a much less positive set of images to the youth and the world at large than Chuck and Kris did. That whole bit of rap recording history just reeks of something so to quote another one of PE's greats CANT TRUSS IT
"old sweatin as i dwell in my cell".......#### these new ignorant motherfuckers like rick ross, gucci, etc.......PE was way more ########-and they had a message to the music.
...As I ventured into tha' courtyard; followed by 52 brothers bruised, battered, and scarred ; but hard.......Damn, after all these years this song is STILL bangin'!
Its amazing how hip hop has changed over the years to reflect the different facets of the african american struggle. Unfortunately, we have reached a period where the glamourization of material possesions is now more important than being a voice for change in our community.
exactly. we have reached a point where TPTB have completely, ubiquitously mesmerized the population into selling themselves out for the material things which they push upon you; rather than pursuing that which really matters...
I got a letter from the government, the other day. I opened and read it and said they were suckas. they wanted me for their army or whatever, picture me givin a danm i said never.
str8 up, dis is da real shit dat 'ol rich white suits don't eer wanna c on they pics again! dis wakes youz up, when theyz tryin real hard 2 keeps asleepz!!
now this is reel rap not that sugar coated shit u hear on the radio and everywhere else.public enemy for life oh n do u now this song is sampled from N.W.A
