Lyrics:
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
Everybody love a star, when he on top
"Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
Nobody comes around when the star start to drop
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
Strive to help others who help themselves
"Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
Knowledge of self, and good health and wealth

CLASSIC

Damn...Grand Puba murdered this shit! Back when hip hop had a concrete message! #shoutouttobrandnubian.
blazinghot99 so underrated one of the best his flow was amazing
Actually when this song came out people were still complaining that hip hop was dead.
Yes he did
Boo, i know like a boxer positive love 💕💕💕💕💕
They all did
Pray for the generation denied Positive music
Hip-Hop & rap is struggling hard in these times...its barely lasting
Just keep playing and promoting the good music from 70s to 90s. There's also good music out there now But you have to do some digging. The majority of good artists today aren't signing with major labels. They self release or put out their stuff on small independent labels
It’s so saturated and has no substance. The men wanna be women and the women wanna be hard and thugs smh 🤦🏾♀️
@@Avenue77There's literally more positive and conscious rap music now than there ever has been. Literally 120,000 songs get dropped on Spotify weekly. You should just dig around. Unfortunately over saturation of music can make it harder to find stuff.
💯
This is timeless...the message in this song is so relevant
Iou
Always Will Be!!!!
This song is nothing but the true 😊💜💜💜
Was dat sisco in dis video
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯I love it
I cry listening to this. My childhood was great. My parents would play songs like this and we would dance and rap or be driving around having a good time. Simple times for me but I understand how hard they were for them. Appreciate your parents for everything they do guys, and the joy we brought each other.
A Mouth Full 💯💯 Lord knows that they really need to play this song today!! This generation will never understand the message of the song!
I’m glad you were exposed to this the nowaday we have to fight to be who we truly are….most people are moved materialisticly and forget…where they come from
Awesome comment 💯
Yeah you RITE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOL 😂😆😂 I to well about these days my 3 sons would sing and rap with my wife while we played these songs driving around the city or you know " Road Trips". 🎈👏🤎🖤🤎👍👊👍💪💪👊🙏
That first verse 🔥
Lord jamar was my favorite laid back, but delivery was on point. .
@@carlosedwards1590 Yeah I love Lord Jamar’s verse too
Grand Puba I felt was down and earth and legendary! Lord Jamar was laid back but truth! Sadat X’s was talking about relationships with a girl that want material shit but let her know it’s not always about that 💯
puba killed it..🔥🔥🔥
@@Rjack5150 Word.
SHOUT OUT TO JEAN CARNE,THE LADY WHO BROUGHT OUT THE ORIGINAL SONG,DON'T LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD,WAY BACK IN 1978,THE YEAR I TURNED 15.AND SHE STILL LIVING AS OF 08-18-2021 AT AGE 74.HEY JEAN BABY!!
👍
Love this but love jean much, much more!!!
❤❤
When you look at Brand Nubian, you'll get the idea that record sales ain't the real thing man. Aging of the music is what matters, still bump these legendary tracks.
Hip Hop was never intended for record sales or pop chat songs
@@cperkins5050 thats why we don't hear it on the radio now. Lyrics lose to catchy beats, unfortunately.
It's the ones that we cannot name that took advantage of the peoples music and made it profitable (for them).
Klazzick.
They broke up because of money solo 360 grand puba etc !
All three verses are GEMS!!!!!
UGK of Dixie Line yessss✌
UGK of Dixie Line yes they are
Indeed
Sometimes you wild, but I guess that's your style! Real bars.
@Olivia Rodrigues- Favorite line
Grand Puba was so underrateed as a solo act.
Wanted to like his solo work but it was shallow and one dimensional. All punchlines. I think the group brought out the best of him.
Facts...91-92 was all Puba! I went and got my Hilfiger cuz of Puba he had the streets
@@bobbyf1741 you nailed it bro. And there was such anticipation when he went solo too that he couldn't quite live up to the hype for the reasons you mentioned... Plus his production was seriously lacking as well which didn't help
Facts... that 360 album was fire and still is
@@DHill-qk7hq that album actually kind of sucked
When I think about the direction music has gone I get teary eyed. I'm just glad I grew up in the days when rappers had something to offer. This music today has our children lost.
Completely
How about people do research there are artist out there still doing decent music.
Amen.
😢😢😢😢
This shit today ain’t music it’s a play in the ignorance of black peoples by those in control. They purpose is to use black boys and girls to influence our children to be self destructive because they know we are the most easily influenced folk on the earth. If we see it on TV then it must be right especially if we who are the poorest gets paid for it. Real life keep them divided so we can conquer. The crazy thing is we gone spend the next 50 years in complete stupidity and ignorance trying to defend and ignorant ass nigga like a Gucci mane and all slow tongue dragging ass REAL niggas that the record companies can pay to do the record companies job. Hey go out their talk that nigga shit to the young. We’ll give you a Bentley and what else. Real shit by the Nubians and grand master flash was real and they had to stop it. In the white Boyd mind they using the radio to influence young black kids in the way of destruction. We not trying to uplift and enlighten you niggas
Puba, Sadat and Jamar - the memories that ride on all these legendary golden age rapppers. I wish I could go back - such a simpler time it seems these days. Struggles felt different back then I feel like. Cheers to the 90s.
We are all taking the opportunity in 2024 to start independent again, this time stay independent and record real music in real studios and manufacture real CDs, Tapes, Vinyls and sell straight to real radio and real radio stations right here in America! Cheers to today and the greatness of what is on the way!
OK 🎤
These are 3 of the giants shoulders that these rappers of today stand on.
Sadat X had that unique voice that made all his rhymes sounds so fire.
Thats the truth
Elvin German Santiago -Agreed.....you almost don’t notice that he was barely rhyming his words. 😂
Sadat that first cat i remember back in the 90's that didnt even try to rhyme every bar. Some bars rhymed, some just didnt, sometimes he would wait 3 or 4 bars to connect a rhyme that links back to the first bar.
Isc23I - Some people still do what you said in the last part of your comment from time to time. You just can’t wait too long to connect the two rhyming words or it’ll sound crazy.
Elvin German Santiago Hell yea 😁😁
They don't make music like this anymore, this was hiphop at its finest.
This one is still relevent for these kids
Who get one hit and think they the next big thing..
There are a couple of artists ( e.g. Joey Badass and J. Cole) who still do. It's just not as popular as the crap they call rap nowadays.
True 2021 after next up JOE. 😆great vibes Unity -2 day. 46 th Rap is older then some of us.
Straight Fire Ese.........
*If you miss that old school sound then ✔ out my tracks...I specialize in making 90s-era hip hop...!!!👍🏾🎤🎧📀🎶💣🔥*
No profanity and still a banger decades later = real music #facts
100 percent facts. The lyrics we had back in the day were so much more meaningful than the shit they put out now.
Fa Sho
I love my kind. True leaders! Knowing that the young ones are listening and watching.
@@RobizGaming2024 lmaook y’all clearly never heard “punks jump up to get beat down” maybe look into the hateful homophobic shit these guys pushed in the 90s before saying how much more meaningful and less profane they are then modern hip hop. Y’all are just fake hip hop heads, want to hear an album that came out THIS YEAR with “meaningful lyrics”? Listen to the newest SADAT X ALBUM. Ever heard of him? Yeah I thought so, that’s weird it’s almost as if he doesn’t even agree with your own fake hip hop head takes, Bc he actually works with people in the modern underground, Bc he actually cares about hip hop. He cares about its evolution and growth, y’all literally like one tiny period Bc you have nostalgia for it. I’m in my 20s and love this album, I love all the classics from this time but I also love countless modern hip hop albums Bc I actually care about the genre. Y’all have to lie and pretend these old legends share your mindset when they don’t lmao they work with modern people and you would know that if you even actually cared about THEM. But you can’t even take the time to keep up with these people you use 😂 it’s so obvious y’all are just the modern pop rap fans but from the 90s, you were into music a couple years when you were a teenager and then grew out of it and didn’t care enough to actually keep up and be versed in the different sub genres. So now you’re one of these losers who goes on every video older then 20 years old saying how much better it is then now it’s embarrassing. Go actually try to find good modern hip hop it isn’t hard, that’s how I made a top FIFTY hip hop albums of this year and like two of them were “trap” or whatever y’all think modern hip hop is. And again if you’re gonna just choose to stay ignorant and go “no all those 50 albums are bad” again you just said Sadat X album is bad. You’re saying Cormega album is bad, as well as Nas, Rockness from Heltah Skeltah, Diamond D, AZ, RZA, DJ Scratch, Phife, Black Thought……..but please go on about what a “90s hip hop head” y’all are even though you just said all the artists I named make bad music
@@byHexted 😴😴 yawn.
Folks giving a thumbs down are definitely young and don’t know you can drop lyrics that are powerful 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
You better believe it
i agree strongly
Exactly! They nothing about good music especially good hiphop. That stuff out here today is straight garbage and they are out here killing each other. The dumbest shit I ever seen in my life.
I don't care what nobody says.. These guys were dope!!
Big Facts!
Shut up kid of course they were dope🤷🏿♂️
Lol I'm far from being a kid. I will be 40 in less than 3 years.. But ok 😅😅😆
Dope as heaven
@@goddessteetee4987 they're underrated
So many jewels dropped on this track
Many
Every line
@@davidcasas1888 Too many...
Knowledge. Is the key
This gives me chills. I’d do anything for someone to make timeless music like this again. ❤
This was the REAL hiphop 😢
This was one of the songs thats sends a positive message to be true to yourselves at all times.
Exactly. Nothing last forever. You may be up today and down tomorrow if not humble and not your true self
"Strive to help those that help themselves."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn, Grand Puba's flow was smooth!!
This song is so relevant today, especially for new artists 💯
Here for it sis 🙋🏽♀️
"1 single....don't make you a hit"
best music is full of meanings, messages, soul and creativity.
and rarely it becomes mainstream.
thank ALLAH for that. 'cause of that
traxxs like this become timeless.
Mann Absolutely 💯 🙌🏽🙌🏽
💯
I listen to this so it won't go to my head. When times are tuff and nobody is around I gotta keep my faith and when times are good and rich, enjoy it and still keep faith and be grateful
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎
They just know rappers that have beats that sound all the exact same with fake hi-hats doing sixtuplets at the end of each measure and lyrics so shallow, it's almost the daring to be super basic (because they have nothing else) that appeals to these kids.
They will never know
Facts
Champagne Hec Painfully true
It's a good thing I was there to know the real.🔥
This group was so underrated 🤦🏽♀️
So calming and inspirational. Keep your feet on solid ground. Peace.
I’m 35 and this has always been one of my favorites still slapping in 2021 💯
Everybody loves a star when he's on top, nobody comes around when the star starts to drop
That's everyday life...

@@leroymckenziejr.jnfenterpr567 so true my favorite line.
Books and books and rhyme concepts and hooks ....
@@musiclover-cn7tb I tella hold it down ma I givya high ranks , understand it won't be no hasle
One of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. The lyrics, the beat, and the video...perfectly put together.
Danya Real Talk word up
And that's word brother
Really? Lol. Listen to one for all. By these cats. X clan. Etc.
This is not close. You must not have an extensive appetite for real hip hop. . Lol. Wow.
@@beforethemayflowermanofhue5435 soulja boy is way better than these fools
The 90s had the best hip-hop era, don't let it go to your head now
This type of hip hop stays in my playlist & Props to the old school for dropping jewels. Too bad you don't hear rap like this anymore.
Makes me cry sometimes because hip hop was in its golden years around this time. Nowadays, it’s all mumble rap with no substance.
We still have J Cole and K Lamar carrying the torch, but I agree, this music can't be duplicated , only evolve
A great #RapBrand instant klazzick
Classic. I wish music today was like this.
T Mac just keep the good music like this in rotation... we don't need the new.
I will
There is hood music out go research for it
When Hip Hop gave brothers and sisters sound advice.
WORRRRRD!
TheDopestEthiopian1 we following suit give us a minute the paradigm shift is coming
Brothers and sisters 2day don't won't advice
this is real talk , like the kids say in 2018
You need advise all good
I recall hearing this in my childhood and thinking the lyrics were deep then. All of them had something real to say here, but Puba, for me, had the most significant one. Late 30s and that rings true even more, especially when you've done for others with no return or even a thank you. Talk about a straight forward verse with reality in it. Can only appreciate this song more now than ever.
Lot of knowledge dropped in this track. Let his track get to your head.
jamar's verse is a lesson for all rap artist past, present and future...one for all...Brand Nubian!!
Bobby Harris are you serious my man ... bro basic bars and what goes up must come down yea science,secondary school stuff and lord thinks he is a lyricist.... Fake news bro
Yea he LJ needs to take his advice. He thinks he bigger than he was. 3rd best on nubian
This is still so relevant even in 2019!!
Arich67 true
That dude Page Kennedy from Hip-Hop DX need to listen to this track.
Definition of a classic
absolutely
Being humble pays
Who's here in 2023?!
‘24
I dare any one of you new dudes to do it like this, just one single, no singing, straight knowledge.
Remember, one single don't make you a hit, you're selling because your fans don't know any better.
I played this at my 40th birthday last year and everybody got up.
Classic
Dope still.
Many more HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO YOU💪
Hands down one of the realest hip hop songs ever...
This song should also be played for all the instagram thots who be thirsty for likes
DONT LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD
nomar manuel-munoz Exactly them hoes would hate this song because they rapping about some real shit lol
Stumbled on this song on Instagram and i downloaded the full album. I listened to this track more than 20 times last night. I LOVE HIP HOP AND RAP
Great message, brand nubians 💪🇰🇪
This shit here is like a different language,to this generation.Man just hearing these dudes voices make me miss back then.
Even as a 23 year old I can say that these new artists today and learn a little something from older hip hop artists.
Missy G Agree im 14 music gettin little whack now
Tristan Darland agrees, im 6 but old rap is much better.
I know it has good message an aint bout drugs an women all the time
Tristan Darland soap on a rope, sorry for misbehaving papi
Refreshing that a young person can appreciate the ole school hip hop compared to what's out today!
Smooth AF!!! Grand puba and brand Nubian as a whole WAS WAY ahead of THEIR time!!! THESE talented men NEVER sold THEIR souls... That's WHY THEY dissapeared!!! TODAY is MY 42nd birthday 🎂!! I had TOO GET some MUCH needed throwback nostalgia
I’ll take these classic jams over this new stuff ANY day!
My Uncle killed this sound.. Lord Jamar
Kush Gosier fire 🔥
my brother use to hang out with lord jamar
lord jamar was a great closure for this song
Grand Puba's verse was incredible, flawlesss
Say WORD!!
Really was..
This is the real Hip-Hop
Time for all of us to record music like this again now in 2024!
This is so smooth.. Never gets old
Timeless
@Curtis Osborne 1998
keep your feet on solid ground, cause what goes up must come down!
Antonio Giardiello Yes keep them feet on solid ground yes cause what goes comes down

Still listening to this 🔥 in 2023 #Classic
OMG!! What a relief from radio today
Grand Puba is in my top ten OF ALL TIME!
sadat x is the most not talked about mc his shit was fire you no its him when ever you here that voice...this is hip hop rap in the raw people .you had shit to think about when the song went off
Yup!
(DR. Dre voice) Hell Yeah.
that's real talk,,ever verse the God spit was a gem
no doubt he influenced. me Sadat X dats the dude.4Show
The all seeing eye 3:46
This is what real hip hop sounds 👍
Lord Jamar, has been an excellent example of "Don't let it go to your Head".
They need to play this right after every rapper gets a record deal
You kids have no clue how big this track was..back when rap gave you that “feeling”
Sam W who don’t?
Just discovering these tracks
honestly...it wasnt that big of a hit. It was played on Rap City a lot.
Jason J. It was their biggest hit...#54 on the Hot 100
Yes
the rappers of today need to hear this song HUGE MESSAGE
When talent was real talent. Real rapping and knowledge. Humble yourselves
Wow, I only came across this on Entourage. Dope track.
Puba, the most slept on MC.
It’s weird seeing Lord Jamar outside of a Vlad interview 😂😂😂😂
This is Lord Jamar in 1998 before VladTV's platform even existed.This the same guy that discovered dead prez and got them signed to Loud Records in 1997.
Drinking that stay young elixir as well
Even weirder to see him not talking about EminEm
how old are you bro?
@@rasungod7257 nobody knows who that bum is
I miss this sound in hiphop 90's❤️
Awesome...they had me so proud to be young and black..the era was awesome
These youngins won't understand....smh this shit is straight 🔥🔥🔥
2016 and still listening ! lyrics hit the points !
💯💯💯💯

My man Puba.....one of the illest flows outta N.Y.
Sadat’s verse just crumbles my brain. Such a dope and unique style. Plus it just cracks me up. Legendary track. Puba and Lord Jamar’s verses are top tier as well. Beat gets stuck in my head and it always ends up being a wonderful day.
My man Jamar straight blessed the track!
YEP
Brand Nubian is a legendary group
@Trenton Jenkins lord jamar is the weakest link lol
If you know.
to be honest, this is the only song i know of them. They were ok when I was a teen but didnt really vibe to them like i did No Limit, MA$E, Isley Bros. ect....
This song is straight fire
This is that old school hip hop that you can close your eyes to and just listen to the knowledge my mens is putting down. Back when people had something to say.
No drug gang or disrespecting women talk like Rakim and still Straight fire !!
Salaam47 Cherub ! Thank you !! These Asiatic are lost and have no soul! ( I’m talking these so called rappers today)
My favorite conscious rap group was the X-Clan! Because they know Moors from the Great Seal Association Of Moorish Affairs in NY. Back in early 90’s when me, my Father, His Grace, the Amire and other Moors from Camden and Philadelphia would go to Great Seal meetings. I would talk to Bro:. Mwabbah Bey. He knew some of them personally. ( I quickly put 2 + 2 together and realized. The X-Clan were rocking leather Fezzes with out tassels!!!!🤨 No wonder Professor X mentioned the Great Seal in his second solo album.)
A’heil’aam and Salaam Cherub Moor, from the Magi Hypnotist in the East.

Lord jamar has knowledge of the God knowledge of God makes part u part god because god is in you
I miss days when hip hop use to sample classic r&b,soul;we use to love & appreciate our parents music
These Brothas was speaking Truth ............ WORDS TO BEING A DOPE HUMAN BEING !!!!!!!
Take me back, the 90's rap was the best rap era EVA!!! I'm their age, I REMEMBER...!
This and the original by Jean Carne been stuck in my brain for days now. I guess it went to my head.

@ATHEIST You really need instructions on how to go link with likeminded people???
@ATHEIST DWL🤦🏿♂️hombre. If you have issues on leaving your mom's basement and talking to people in real life that's on you. It's not hard staying away from people who aren't into what you are. It's also not hard going out, let's say to a store since that's how you equate meeting new people(although there are laws against actually buying people), and MEETING other humans to converse in real life seeing if you have things in common. In real life.... and not just peacocking in UA-cam comments. How's that for comprehension?
“One single don’t make you a hit” - I need to sample that line and put it on repeat to somebody I know 😂
Jamar?
It's weird when you know Jamar is hip-hop royalty, but you know him for doing something else for so long that you forget how.
Brand Nubian was the lick back in them 1990's. Don't 4 get the back pack that Grand Puba wore. Much respect to Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, D.J. Alamo, and D.J. Sincere. "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down"
Who’s listening here in 2019?

Most can't relate to real Hip-hop....I grow in the 80's and 90's....when the game was different....Long live Hip-hop...Jersey Man here

The 90's where Hip Hop reached a level of all time high!! Youngsters now a days missed this because this is a representation of the last era of original great music!! Still rocking in January 2020 right chea!! Anyone else?#CLASSIC
Im so glad our generation had the best of unique hip-hop. Clean and just real. N the base!!!! Thats whats up
This group is so knowledgeable and was teaching us about our surroundings ❤❤❤
One of the GREATEST REAL HIP HOP GROUPS OF ALL TIME!!! ALL STAR CAST OF LYRICIST.
This was probably 96-97 and is still relevant in 2020. I remember this used to be on public access in Detroit. “I heard ya single on the battle of the beats” 🔥🔥🔥
Yep - 1998. (When they reassembled)
This was 91-92 Wayyyy back ! I was about 11 years old when this came out, Went to Sam Goody and bought this first few days it was released
Oh sorry ! Wrong song lol, Thought I was commenting on punks jump up to get beat down
