Was just a young one smoking blunts and hating police when I first heard the is one. Now I work in high end corporate. Crazy how time flies and shit works out
What a nostalgic song man, i was in grade 9 when i first heard this and didn’t understand how deep it was., im now 27 years old now and i understand everything in these lyrics. Shout out to term for overcoming the odds and all the positive things he does for society now.
I lived in an apartment with my best friend in Portsmouth NH when this came out and I first heard it. My friend died in 2019 unexpectedly, and the world is in chaos more so than ever. The five elements of HIPHOP lives on!
Real Hip Hop doesn't need a label, nudity, bitches, violence, hate, status symbols or any other attempts to split society. Music by good people for good people, a positive message to all of humanity expressing sorrow, criticism, naming social issues hoping and rapping for a better future. Wish more people would watch how it go down! Classic banger
16 years later and this is still FIRE. Terminology killed one of the best Premo beats. I remember being broke as fuck listening to this when it dropped. Memories of the stuggle 💪
Termanology is one of those cats that should be on radio.This joint is incredible.Term's flow,his rhyme schemes,and the substantive nature of his lyrics are so on point.The song's just made so much better by having Premier on it.
man termanology is fast becoming one of my favorite rappers right now, the east coasts future looks a little brighter with him on the scene and fellow show off records maestro reks :D
mezalong Puerto Ricans are descendant from African Slaves you tool. We are a mix of Africans, Spaniards, and the native Indians that inhabited the PR island before the Spaniards came and conquered them. Why you think a lot of us are dark with nappy hair and big swinging dicks? The more you know fool.
Always loved this joint from when it dropped. Term goes in on that ill preemo production!. 🔥 I ran into Term a few years back in NYC, told him I'm from Australia and I found him off this joint right here. He showed love right back and is just one of those real ones doing it for the art!. I got nothing but love for Term and his work ethic!!. ♥
this sound is huge i salute the performance of terminalogy and Dj Premier I would like to tell all fans of the underground rap community around the world to keep the hip hop spirit as we know it. We are going through a difficult period where nonsense has taken over. in rap Our vision is ridiculed by the new generation. Continue the underground hip hop do not stop because we are at war From Paris France Thanks
The biggest compliment you can pay Terminology is that he did justice to this Premo beat. Crazy beat and ill flows. Thats all it takes, but many artists these days can't get this simple formula rite!

Termanology understood the assignment and kept it boom bap back then and still presently.
One of the only tunes that’s remained on my gym playlist since day one.
Still one of Premiers hardest beats EVER!!!!!!
Crazy how you could say that about SOOOO many of his beats
I'm a fan, what can I say. Definitely my favorite producer of all time..
AlmosfamouZ
no
Bold statement
Yess
the flow he has on this is crazy "From Rykers to Middleton life as a middleman
Spendin life illegitimate livin life in imprisonment"
Crazy how this chad welts commented on this love u welyn btw my dads in this video
Welyn??! yo whats up
No chorus, just Term spitting nonstop fire for almost 4 minutes straight.
hot lava indeed
So dope, check out Circulate if you haven't heard that gem yet. Term spitting non stop heat over a J Dilla beat
That’s how I prefer it. No hook needed. Scratch the 3 hooks or whatever for another verse or two.
Charles which is rare now I didn't even know I can still find this type of hip hop new age type till right now
Yeah,tracks without choruses - it's
flamable !
I can't believe this one released about 15 years ago... still dope.
music was still dope back then.
Was just a young one smoking blunts and hating police when I first heard the is one. Now I work in high end corporate. Crazy how time flies and shit works out
16 years on and shit ain't changed.
still coming back to this one
Definition of a classic
2024 I'm still watching how it goes down.
Same bro ❤
One of the most underrated, unsigned rappers ever

Classic banger

Amen
No no no I wanna see violence, woman , 100 bills etc
A decade later, still banging and still unsigned...
Akshat Prasad that's a good thing my friend
Keeps it pure
Premier beats are timeless
And who cares lol that nigga doing his thing
2023 such a masterpiece
Term is a legendary, He might not get as much shine as he should but his music is timeless and will live on forever!
I’m a fan. 16 years ago. Genius…GOD BLESS
when music was music
16 years later and this is still FIRE. Terminology killed one of the best Premo beats. I remember being broke as fuck listening to this when it dropped. Memories of the stuggle 💪
This cut is a timeless classic. Long live underground hip-hop!
This track never gets old. Timeless!! Term and Prem! Saw him on Kayslay "50 Deep" glad to see hes still in the game!!
Now we have 2019... Where are those days, where is this rap, where are those beats... Greetings from Europe, Poland good people!
One of the best show outs on a premier track. I cant remember being this excited since. Shout out to Term still nicer then most
2024 still here..
awesome beat and rap 2023 old and gold
Termanology is one of those cats that should be on radio.This joint is incredible.Term's flow,his rhyme schemes,and the substantive nature of his lyrics are so on point.The song's just made so much better by having Premier on it.
Termanology should get a good deal and go platinum as soon as possible, because lyrically he´s on the level of Eminem and Nas. He diserves succes
He stood up for hip hop in the middle of the ring tone era! Respect ✊
I like new Term, but this is probably his best song ever. I don't think he could ever fucking top this
Best Dj Premier beat. Respect from Turkey
Kraaaal
First time hearing this❤
Probably one of the best songs of all time
One of the most underrated tracks in hiphop history. Love everything about this fucking track
No recommendation... searched for this classic
One of the best moments in New England Hip-Hop.
his flow is incredible on this track..you cant shine more on a premo beat
15 years and this summer heating up.
love the energy in this track. nice flow too!
This should have a million views easy
+Metamophisis Almost there!
I bought this CD off Amazon. Also saw him perform at the A3C Hip Hop Festival in ATLANTA in 2011😃
+Metamophisis and some million mo' playa
+Metamophisis I am the 1,000,000th view. hahahaha
ok cool 😃
Straight classic. 2019 and this is STILL a straight classic amazing term been doing his thing sense before 06
Everytime I hear this ish it's like they just drop it....10+ years later 🔥🔥 🔥
no matter how many times i hear this song, it always amazes me, term is an incredible rapper
2023 still 🔥
Still here in 2023 banging this Classic shit. #MassLuv
Me too
"I'm bringin the message like Kanye West except your boy got more techs than Ron Artest"
This is what started it all off for me,my love for term he came to a club in Cambridge,he performed this and killed it.
Middle east downstairs!
Classic Premo beat
Great track. Termanology speaking facts for a decent bit
This is the greatest music video of all time
Remember getting the vinyl at Fatbeats in NYC before they closed.
man termanology is fast becoming one of my favorite rappers right now, the east coasts future looks a little brighter with him on the scene and fellow show off records maestro reks :D
Damn! The beat is sick and dope at the same time. Probably one of Premo’s best. And Termy killed this
Some real passion some real hip hop here
Big Pun smiling down thinking look what I did!
+Damian2354 yeah made white people say the n word gooooood
+mezalong he's Puerto Rican
mezalong Puerto Ricans are descendant from African Slaves you tool. We are a mix of Africans, Spaniards, and the native Indians that inhabited the PR island before the Spaniards came and conquered them. Why you think a lot of us are dark with nappy hair and big swinging dicks? The more you know fool.
+Damian2354 yea I know. That is why being Hispanic isn't considered a race, you're either a white or black Hispanic. I know many of both
well derr of course hes Puerto Rican but have you never heard of drunk youtubing.
This is still 🔥
2024 and still a certified classic!!
Keeping that Lawtown shit alive, keep bangin'.
Fuck yes, how have I not heard of this dude before now?! This is some real '90s sounding shit. Illin!
Wow. Had this on a bootleg street cd years ago. Around 2005 and was bumping it heavy in 06. Where did the time go
almost 10 fucking years peace Term
I listened to this song at least 1 a day from the spring of '06 until the summer of '07 lol I was addicted to this track.
Who still banging this in 2020!!💯 straight 🔥 PREEMO is the 🐏💯
4 ever❤️
Always a classic. Rrmember when this jawn first came out
Always loved this joint from when it dropped. Term goes in on that ill preemo production!. 🔥 I ran into Term a few years back in NYC, told him I'm from Australia and I found him off this joint right here. He showed love right back and is just one of those real ones doing it for the art!. I got nothing but love for Term and his work ethic!!. ♥
Dude can rhyme his ass off! Dope!
this sound is huge i salute the performance of terminalogy and Dj Premier
I would like to tell all fans of the underground rap community around the world to keep the hip hop spirit as we know it.
We are going through a difficult period where nonsense has taken over. in rap
Our vision is ridiculed by the new generation.
Continue the underground hip hop do not stop because we are at war
From Paris France
Thanks
Spittin' fire right there son, killin it! Much love to the Nine VII Hate!
2023 still fkn 🔥🔥 Term went crazy on this Primo beat
till this day man !!! TERM IS DOPE !!!
you could hold a debate about the economy on a preemo beat and it's gonna sound next level.
Peace to everyone!!! Termanology and Ya Boy(and Crooked I) IS the Best rappers alive.From Romania!!! Man Hip Hop is every where!!!!
Nobody got shit on Dj Premier
The biggest compliment you can pay Terminology is that he did justice to this Premo beat.
Crazy beat and ill flows. Thats all it takes, but many artists these days can't get this simple formula rite!
Why can't he go off like this on every song?
I know right...
He took 3 months to write this song
He kinda does
I recently heard him for the first time an sofar haven't heard a track he doesn't rip apart
@@bobmackey3144 okay. Go check out his new album GOYA 3 & you'll change your mind.
Can’t believe 2006 was so long ago I remember when this first came out it was a fucking banger then and it’s a fucking banger now
Termanology would roast kanye
No doubt a classic track, Term absolutely destroys this and still doing it.
the tec will have u clearin the room
P-P-P-Premier-Premier...he can really give any MC a totally new dimension...
I see myself as the holy resurrection of Pun
If I ain't that then you name one
Rapper that's lyrical slash Latin, political passed rappin
With visuals past Malcolm and fittin to go past platinum
It's hard but I speak the truth inspired to teach the youth
The fire that heat the booth the high hat the beat the loop
The system it traps us in they tacklin rappers in
These shackles that pack us in the back of the clack is in
I'm packin the Mac again like Capital Punishment
Huggin the gun and then runnin and duckin from the government
They dyin to cuff me up lock me down touch me up
Cock the pound bust me up stop my sound hush me up
But I shall never hold my tongue
Before that, I roll my blunt and load my gun
Give a kiss to my daughter tell my mother I love her
And blow the brains out a couple dirty cops undercover
Crooked detectives is foul how they book and arrest us
For cookin and stretchin we just tryna feed our kids
The streets crazy wild plus it get crazy foul
Listen when I say it now (watch it how it go down)
And that's the reason little kids get hit by strays
Cause muthafuckas can't act they age
Before you learn how to shoot, better learn how to aim
There's already enough of our people that's dyin from AIDS
I try and remain calm but it's fryin my brain
And I am ashamed our generation die over chains
Alive on the pavement leakin out the side of they brains
Tell me when will this environment change
We need new leaders but all we get is new heaters
And divas and two-seaters as soon as that loot see us
It's a bad cycle, just look how they bagged Michael
Which one anyone Jordan Jackson
Action pack guns ridiculous
How they ship to us then we hit the bus
From Rykers to Middleton with life as a middleman
Spendin life illegitimate livin life in imprisonment
When I think of my niggas and I think
How many are locked I see they never did (watch how it go down)
And that's the reason little kids get shot in the street
Cause muthafuckas never (watch how it go down)
And last week my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
I walk the town strapped just hopin the pound clap
Correctly and protect me in case they wanna come and wet me
My enemies on the street far exceed my friends
So when you see me you don't see no Benz
That just make me an easy target to jump up and meet the coffin
And makin my seed an orphan the car then I'm speedin off in
Is stolen I see the narcs in my vision
I see the cops and they grippin they pistols tryna put me in prison
So I listen to Pac's best and try to be non-stressed
But how can I not stress the fact that I'm not richer
I'm livin in poverty plus I'm a minority
Plus are my priorities fucked in this economy
Rap music is probably not the best career you can choose
But hearin my views like hearin the news
So fear me if you skepticize homie but it's clearly the truth
The Tech Nine'll have you clearin the room
I ain't a killer but I'm somethin like a prophet
I'm tryna get y'all to stop it see the ghetto's microscopic
It's a better place but for now we got the bread to chase
Catch a case get bailed out back to stretchin base
I'm bringin a message like Kanye West
Except your boy got more Tech's than Ron Artest
I know you wanna see me stretched be my guest
Handle your biz but make sure you (watch how it go down)
The streets crazy foul plus it gettin crazy wild
Listen when I say it now (watch how it go down)
The funkiness of this track is amazing af.
This nigga gives me the chills B
One of the most iconic albums ever! That and illmatic
3:39 The Alchemist XD
This can be the best song of all hip hop history

Love from RSA 🇿🇦
