this song is shit on a stick

First time I heard Mos Def was on Stakes is High from De La. Love his solo shit and his work with Talib Kwali (Blackstar). He killed it on the Chappelle's show a couple of times as well. True talent indeed

Why is this song so damn short? Damn I miss this shit

One of the best songs ever to lift to although I prefer the album version not this edited horseshit. Played this tape so much back in the day the writing was rubbed off the tape

How sick is Richie Rich on this one? I forgot how popular Carhart was back in the day. Crazy...damn near everybody in Ky has Carhart shit, but I can't say that most of those folks have heard of 3rd Bass. lol. The other thing that made 3rd Bass cool was that they never tried to be the best "wh...

3rd Bass was nice. I love the work Prince Paul did with these two and Richie Rich was a damn good DJ as well. Is that KMD at the beginning of this video? Another nice group from back in the day. Totally irrelevant but whoever cut the back of Serch's hair has mad skill. I bet that was hard a...

I remember being in the cafeteria in 10th grade and some dudes freestyling to this shit. Banging on the tables and humming the melody.....duh duh, duh duh. Those were the days my friends. Old school hip hop is one of the few things that make me glad I'm 37 and not 17 listening to the bullshit...

This shit is just dumb its so good. Sick beat, sick DJ'ing, and the rhymes are nice as well. RIP GURU and nuff respect to nice n smooth and Premier. Was that a DJ Red Alert cameo in this video?

My favorite Ice T song of all time. I wish I knew the sample for this....sounds like some Johnny Guitar Watson or some shit with that funky ass guitar riff and bass line. ICE T's pimp hand is strong and he is one of the original OG's if not THE OG.

@LegendOfOldTrafford Excellent point. Illmatic was so ridiculous there was almost no way in hell anyone could recreate that magic on their next album. Nas is like a victim of his own talent so to speak. Like you said though, he has put tons of good shit after Illmatic but it is hard when you g...

@acknickulus Well said sir. It would be like mexican brick garbage that would only give you a fucking headache and make you cough your nuts off.

How sick was that for them to use this Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians song for the sample in this song. Ridiculous. The sax sample is Kool and the Gang I think. Anyway, this song reminds me of 10th grade. Those were the days. Grand Puba is the shit. Pulled more stunts than Action Jackson

Hiero crew is possibly the most underrated crew of all time

at 3:36 who is that with Grandmaster Caz (think that's his name). Yes, Kanye is in this video and while I love his earlier shit, he is not in the other three dude's league on this track. You could say that all three would be in the top 10 MC's of all time, maybe even the top 5.

If you have this album then check out the song "Tha Realness"

If not type it in here and listen to it next time you get lifted and zone out to some music. My favorite song of theirs by far.

@wesxrob true indeed

@rosieboi

Exactly....that is part of the art of DJ/production that people say is "stealing." It's more like paying tribute in some instances while it could be just a nice loop in another. This is the first time I am listening to this, where is this dude from? The DJ on here is good too. Nic...

This track is just silly its so good.

I remember pocket full of stones and players ball like it was yesterday. This track is simply ridiculous. RIP Pimp C and long live true hip hop artists, no matter what part of the world they hail from. How in the hell are there 55 dislikes? Really? I miss the early days of Outkast

@djwilliams310

Plenty of good west coast hip hop groups.....Hiero crew, tha liks, the nonce, king t, obvioulsy nwa, snoop, ice cube, digital underground, too short, the coup, ice t, dialated peoples, ras kass, 2pac, the pharcyde, tone loc, above the law, cmw, and cypress hill to name a few. I'...

@TheChongles

Yo ease back man. I hear you...it would be nice if some of the wackness didn't exist but it's not worth ruining your life. How about all us old timers just try to expose the young cats out there to the real hip hop. It's not thier fault, they have been brainwashed. It is up to ...

Why can't hip hop be like this anymore? This track is just ridiculous...great sample, great rhyme, and great djing. I miss groups like this with all my heart

@USMC88RECON Brilliantly said sir. "California Soul" by Merlene Shaw....what a sick ass sample. I'll play this stuff in class and the kids will roll their eyes. Very important that us old people, who were in the prime of our youth when music like this was the standard, need to help expose the ...

RIP GURU. One of my favorite groups in high school. It's a shame that Guru and Premier had a falling out before Guru passed. They were a helluva tandem who came original. DITC crew

I mean how in the hell can someone hit dislike unless by mistake? Illmatic is a hip hop classic and this song is a classic. Love the "Human Nature" sample and Nas' lyrical prowess is second to maybe Rakim, but he is mos def top 5 of all time. Nas's raps should be locked in a cell......ridiculo...

The coolest shit of all time was how Shock G was Humpty at the same time and honestly nobody knew that until much later on. I remember when I found out, I think I was in college and it was like the first time you found out the Easter Bunny or Santa werent real. Sex Packets was the shit, but hon...

@jamericanboy7941 DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Babu, Terminator X, Plug 3, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Kid Capri, DJ Scratch, Roc Raida, Jam Master Jay, Grandmaster Flash, Sir Jinx, Kool Herc, Red Alert, Mix Master Mike, DJ Richie Rich, DJ Jazzy Jeff.....and on and on. You can have this sucker ass mule. I'...

A true masterpiece and these dudes were like 18 and 19 yrs old when they did this. Where did all the good hip hop artists go?

I love the steely dan sample in this one. very nice.

@locnesmonsta I'm pretty sure its about biting, or copying someone's rhymes/style.

De La Soul....from the soul....black medallions....no gold. anyway, just wanted to say big ups to De La, one of the most innovative hip hop groups of all time. Know your hip hop history kids....these guys have been doing it since middle school (i'm 37 now) and are still ridiculous. Thanks De ...

Ahh...one of my favorite groups from my high school years. One of the few times I am glad I am old now is when I can say I was alive when hip hop was about the art form and not about money, hoes, cars, bling, or any of that other bullshit. You had to come with skills and originality or you were...

If you hit dislike on this video please punch yourself in the face as hard as you can and if you can't do it I'll be happy to provide that service for you. Top 10 best hip hop songs of all time, period. Knowledge reins supreme over nearly everyone......this shit is so dope I almost have to go t...
