Just listening to this; it’s a nostalgic feeling, as if you’re in Coney Island in 1995 on a hot July, wearing air max sneakers, baggy clothing and eating an ice cream, the wind blowing in your hair as you feel that life is good again. It gives you hope, that Brooklyn hope and maybe one day, you can do it all over again. Follow your dreams people.
This is back when rap made you wish you was from new York lmao. You listen to stuff like this and felt like you knew the city having never been. Then you go listening to this and then it all makes sense.
This beat just puts me in the zone man.. just laying down staring at the ceiling thinking bout this crazy experience we call LIFE... Premo can't ever be thanked enough for producing this one i swear..
This is one of those you could just listen to over and over for various reasons! I love it! Really wish decades lasted longer than 10 years. Music was SO damn good in the 90's. Especially this type of stuff.
I would argue this is one of THE most unique uses of a sample ever. The piano/bells are ominous and disjointed but dammit it totally works. CLASSIC. (original sample: Young-Holt Unlimited, "Strangers in the Night")
I always thought this was one of Preems hardest beats. To bad the scratches aren't in it. That Gangstarr joint "Gotta Get Over" has a dope format as well.
One off Premier's most soulfull tracks. It give's me that when i was young life was good vibe and now i,m a grown ass man reminiscing about how time flew by so fast.
Reminds me of the year i was born 95 . Old air conditioner in a big brick building oldsmobile cars and playground sets with the black girl bopping lips parents at home watching Donahue
Whenever people ask me what my favorite Spike Lee movie is, I say Clockers. I always get an odd look. But this beat is probably why it’s my favorite Spike Lee film. It just resonates and takes me back to everything I was going through when I first heard it.
when people talk about Preem this beat isnt mentioned enough
When people talk about soundtrack composers Premo isn’t mentioned enough!
💯
@@kevindube7096 I wonder why.
You're the realest
That’s so funny you said that preemo is making a new so wassup about them!
Play this at my funeral
That is greatest reply I have ever heard. Hell f yeah
Lol
Tomorrow? Okay
Jacob Ward doood yo I got a instrumentals playlist ready for when I go out ✊🏽
SAME
This instrumental always gives me a noslatgic feeling everytime
So many different emotions in this beat
absolutely sharp!
For real... You can feel the story and raw human experience flowing out of it. A work of art no doubt
owen Donovan I always play this song when im in new york.
@@jeff9515
So do I Owl!
Bass Clarinet humming the background
This track always brings tears to my eyes. I think about everyone I've lost. It makes you reflect back on life.
Facts
Same here bro. No lie💯

Don't forget you would've gave me a fake telephone number back then too.😃
Yeah what he said except in the Bronx at Orchard Beach
To this day, this melody can take you places, no matter the mood... Premo for president. Dude just has one of best ears ever for samples
💯
And y'all can thank Large Professor for that
@@jamesjohnson8422 the LP, underrated dude for sure
Chubb Rock, O.C. & Jeru The Damaja did their thing on this 95 Premier classic. Salute.
Someones ears are broken. This piano melody is beautiful
No it isnt. EW.
@@popautotune5405 Nigga what? You probably think these lame ass piano melodies they got now is better foh
@@popautotune5405 nickname : pop autotune. Lmao those lame ass new school hip hop suckers
@DDdastard06 And the cello in the back is the icing on the cake!
This song is happy and sad, like saying good bye to the best of memories or a friend, pure nostalgia. Beautiful
They don't make music like this no more! Ole skool hip hop. The Golden Years early 90's
Yeah. It's a shame.
What a beat 🫡
when Hip Hop was...you know...Hip Hop.
Word!
Amd Trap isn't? Both Boom Bap and Trap is Hip-Hop now dats Wordup ya dig 💯🔥
@@dalzvert9206 trap is 🤮
This piano beat so 90s classic, peace
My favorite song of all time!!!!!!!!!! Big respect to Crooklyn and the entire NYC one love
Now I HAVE to listen to the vocal version....for the 1000th time.
OC, Jeru, and Chubb were the perfect trio for this beat.
This is 90s Heaven
TheCondorjc 100%
Feel like the 90s all over again
One of the best beats ever...mesmerizing melody
This is back when rap made you wish you was from new York lmao. You listen to stuff like this and felt like you knew the city having never been. Then you go listening to this and then it all makes sense.
I’m from New York and I can’t imagine being born anywhere else. Crazy thing is, Premier is from Texas. Do you know what made him wanna stay in NYC? 😂
Premo has to go down in history as the most important producer in hip hop.
the triangle is my favorite musical instrument. so small and minute, but as powerful a the bass drum
Yes.
Word
this
So simple yet so powerful just a loop and drums.. My favorite Preemo beat and that's hard to say.
The boom bap never gets old.
One of Dj. Premier"s all time greatest tracks.
Truly one of the greatest beats of all time!
Mt. Rushmore Primo 🙏🏾
In crooklyn right hand cuts off the left hand despite the hand jealous of the next man!
love how the piano and triangle loop rides the beat at the beginning,,wanders away from it and returns right on tempo with the strings.
That bass clarinet and piano with hint of the sax and of course the drums ❤️
Don't forget the triangle chimes!
Don't forget the triangle chime!
@@toddjohnson9469 oh yes indeed 💪👍🤘😎
Who ever made this beat I thank them from the bottom of my heart ❤️
DJ Premier. One of the best EVER! 🎙🔥💯
Adrian Ferguson THE best
Right at home in this beat. Thank you for this.
This beat just puts me in the zone man.. just laying down staring at the ceiling thinking bout this crazy experience we call LIFE...
Premo can't ever be thanked enough for producing this one i swear..
Premo SMDH... the drums... boom Bap...man listen.. goosebumps...neck snapping.. screwed up face...😖😂🔥
cleanest version possible. thanx for uploading !!!!
So much nostalgia
This is one of those you could just listen to over and over for various reasons! I love it! Really wish decades lasted longer than 10 years. Music was SO damn good in the 90's. Especially this type of stuff.

Thank you for that one.
This joint encapsulates a whole era that will never die.
The same one that killed noreaga, chips that power nuclear bombs, POWER MY SEGA
that's deep.
I'm so chilled out right now
Levels
Love this beat along with the piano.
Such a classic 👌
straight perfection!!! when hip-hop was pure and what it should be, not like what plagues the airwaves now... premiere is the truth...
Premo the GOAT it cant really be argued
Absolutely can’t
As a New York kid who was born in 92, this just reminds of my childhood in the late 90’s/early 00’s, I miss those days
Bury me in my Brooklyn Dodgers cap even though I'm an L.A. Dodger fan, I pay homage to the land where it all began.
it's those ticks that get me thing of beauty
Just got this LP in the mail yesterday after school.
True hip hop. Gotta bring this essense back
Had the cassette single!
Premier at his finest!🔥🐐
2018 and still one of the illest tracks...
Almost 2020 and ain’t shit changed
2021 and I’m still bopping my head
If you transform me into a beat, close your eyes, open your heart and this track is what you'll see.
I really appreciate this compilation you made. They are not rare. I grew up listening all of this. Thanks for this it bring me a lot of memories.
COOL G RAPP Classical I used to mix this all the time 1,2,1,2
Lost for words right now wow the 90s
Was very epic pure hip hop at its purest forum
80s & 90's hip hop. Wish I could turn back the clock for just a few days.
I always thought this was one of Preems hardest beats. To bad the scratches aren't in it. That Gangstarr joint "Gotta Get Over" has a dope format as well.
Damn that's hip-hop.
remind me of the music box my brother used 2 play, me and my sistah wud watch in amazement! I MISS HIP HOP!
legendary , emotion explotion reminiscing remembering the evolution !
The place this beat takes me cant be put into
Take me back to the Summer Of 95’ 😔
Remarkable!
I love premo man,His beats touch my soul

A SPECTACULAR INSTRUMENTAL BEAT BY DJ PREMIER.
Q-tip shit was🔥but Premo gets the win for me with pt 2. This track ridiculous 💯💯💯
Those chimes are everything, bygone era sorely missed

My nigga Styles P got off on this one
That's good and all ; however , Chubb Rock ,O.C. & Jeru The Damaja murdered it in '95 .
One off Premier's most soulfull tracks.
It give's me that when i was young life was good vibe and now i,m a grown ass man reminiscing about how time flew by so fast.
