I like how Pete Nice was always just chillin' in his chair. In a field, middle of the street, didn't matter, 'cause the Minister sits where he pleases!
in 1990 I would watch Rap City on BET every day after coming home from junior high. 3rd Bass was on all the time. So was EPMD, BIg Daddy Kane, Gangstarr, Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah....The golden age of hip hop. East and West was crushing it.
you said junior high, so that means you around my age cause thats how i remember it to... then high skool graduated to ONYX, mobb deep, grand puba, wu tang!

I remember back in '89 when I was in high school, a friend lent me this tape. I thought "damn, these white boys are putting it down"! I love the play on words, "Brooklyn -Queens". Great use of the sample "Best Of My Love" by he Emotions.
Born 91' & l love nothing but old hip hop/rap from the golden era (87-94). I can't wait for my 25th birthday cause not only will I be dressing like this but this type of music will be pumping. Plus the rappers dance too back in the day & it was fun
DAMN, do I miss those days. Just rocking cuts, jamming, and having fun. Some of the best college jams I went to would blast this joint and the crowd would go off !! Hip-Hop 4 ever
one of the greatest songs in hip hop history! i was 11 when this shit dropped! im 36 now! can't believe this cut is almost 30 years old! damn it seems like yesterday when i was watching this video on "The Box" damn i wish i had a time machine! this was when hip hop was golden! damn these times will never comeback
@@terwillagermcghee4148 Yes! We had "The Box" (or something similar) in Chicago. I remember it was on channel 13, which wasn't really a channel here, so it would always come in fuzzy picture, but the audio was clear. I remember putting hangers and tinfoil on the antenna to make the picture come in semi-clear 😂😂😂. These young'uns don't know the lengths we had to go to trying to hear our favorite jams! No internet, let alone UA-cam and all these 21st century music apps! I remember sitting with my finger on the record button, just waiting until that song I wanted came on the radio!

I remember Albee Square Mail being next to the bank. I used to go into that mall all the time. Now it's not there anymore. Some new fancy ass building is there now. And there are a lot of high rise condo buildings being built in downtown Brooklyn. The Brooklyn I knew when I was a kid is gone. But I still love Brooklyn. I grew up there. It's still my home borough.
Real hip hop not this mumble, rainbow hair, skinny jean , ugly ass yeezy muhfukass. Lol give me a sweat suit in 8 ball jacket and Adidas fourms all day
Joaquin Gonzalez No they couldn't you dummy. The Beastie Boys were the 1st white rap group, but they were a rock group asked to rap by Rick Rubin. Why do you think real dudes didnt fuck with them. Learn your history. Two of them didn't even know how to rap when Rick Rubin formed them.
They were a punk rock group that made an experimental hip-hop track then almost fully transitioned to hip-hop by 1984, Rick Rubin never asked them to rap, infact they came to Rick for a DJ and producer to make their hip-hop records, if they were forced into hip-hop they would have definitely stopped making it by Paul's Boutique...
Roy S yeah man what are you talking about? They were making hip hop before they ever met Rick Rubin. And they made their best records after leaving Def Jam.
This was my jam back on the day! I couldn’t stop playing this song. I was sad these guys broke up so early. I know they would be having mad hits for life
Nah cats would have Got merked for pulling a Jux on pete at that time He was viewed as one of the Gods of the Rhyme and style game by ALL in the culture. Including me.
Sample loops over drum pattern based foundation with cuts on hooks 16 bars back and forth and keeping the lyrics on the subject matter thats the true ingredient for hip hop , the rap thats heard today is actually R&B Rythum & bullshit
When. Brooklyn was Brooklyn before the heartbreak of Gentrification Yuppies Hippies and all the other annoyances that we all may wish to throw in the pot.."
Detective HoodBruh before Citibikes we’re available in Brooklyn. When Brooklyn was a side borough not an extension of Manhattan. Rip Albee square mall.
You mean before brooklyn became a safer, nicer and more livable place to live? (aside from high rents of course but that's everywhere). You make it sound like it's a bad thing lol
Shock231BX x why would i be mad about that. Oh wait that was your attempt to be racist. Funny thing is I’m half back and half Hispanic. And this is still shit music if you can even call it that
They coming out of Dime bank downtown Brooklyn. Albee Square Mall was no joke back then. Search was rocking the Shearling coat with timbs. Gotta love the late 80's and early 90's.
OMG!!! this song just brings back so many memories of when rap was rap and not about 20 inch bling bling and other garbage. Please bring back the good old rap days
When this came out 1580 Kday ran this to the ground! It came on every 15 minutes. 1rst Mariah Cary Visions of Love, then Johnny Gil My My My , then this joint. This was in rotation at the time out west more than out Steppin to The A.M or Gasface.
You can be black or white and still be a Jew. (e.g. Sammy Davis Jr) I have heard MC Search refer to himself as a white man in interviews. These guys are White guys who are also Jews.
I got in a fight with my cousin over the cactus album tape that was left in our older cousin's mustang when he went to jail. The day my uncle drove it home and parked it, we were checking it out, sitting in it and The tape was sticking out. I can't remember who grabbed it first but we didn't talk to each other for like a week. And, I think it was taken away so neither of us would have it. We were like 12 or 13. The mustang was a gray gt. Long story and I'm getting off subject but I was a third bass fan from the beginning.
* Daddy Rich scratches "Brooklyn!" * * 3 bars of drum beats * * Daddy Rich scratches "Brooklyn!" * [Verse 1: MC Serch] Real cool.. cause Brooklyn's cool! Friday June the last day of school Girls steppin to the mall to swing Settin up dollars for their summer fling Cars on the avenue create gridlock And there's girls like MAD at the bus stop Not waitin on the bus, but waitin on the cash flow Fellas are laughin, gassin the past ho Girl steps to me and pushes issue "That knot you got, is that money or tissue?" Feelin on the bulge, thinkin it's her own I tell her that it's money and she should move on She says she's pure from her legs to her thighs And we should talk over some chinese and fries I tell her to step, but hey that's the scene Cause she ain't nothin.. but a Brooklyn Queen [Chorus x2] "We are looking for 'Brooklyn'.. We are looking for the.." Brooklyn-Queens! [Verse 2: Pete Nice] State the rhyme, borough of Brooklyn Otherwise known as Crooklyn Freaks fortify flesh with gold Ears hang trunk, in a slave hold Walk past, don't get the time of day Played like suede, on a summer sway Conversated, till I made her laugh Said, "I'm Pete Nice.. you want my autograph?" Oval Office closed as she heard this She said, "From 3rd Bass? I could do this" Listen closely, slowly took a swig of intoxicants Cause the Brooklyn Queen's a gold digger [Chorus x2] [Verse 3: MC Serch] Squared away.. with my digits and tonight's plans When I feel a crab grab my right hand Slapped her on the back, tried to calm her Asking her, "What's the reason for the drama?" Her next move was straight out of textbook "Haven't we met before?" Giving me a sex look Yo Wisdom, your lyrics are in bad taste So I'm forced to give you nothing but the Gas Face You better go, for hoppin on the cab or bus Cause you're downtown and you're simply too fabulous But get this, ain't this a humdinger? She stepped to a retard sportin' a four-finger ring Somewhere in the skin tight jeans I'm gonna scoop the best of the Brooklyn-Queens [Chorus] [Verse 4: Pete Nice] Last exit to Brooklyn I enter Carefully the Queen holds my scepter Gettin' numb like a Derelict on scotch I'm Dick Lewis, cause baby I'm watchin' you Scheme on a brother for a knot To choose between the have and the have-not Do you doubt the shade of vanilla? I'll play Elvis and you play Priscilla Oh he's no hero, better yet Billy Dee Advertise cheap liquor for a fee A Brooklyn Queen, rushes Russell Simmons That's like Tyson rushin' Givens [Chorus x2] * Daddy Rich scratches "Brooklyn!" repeatedly over drum beat * * 3rd Bass says 'Brooklyn-Queens' (3X) * [MC Serch] Who's on Prince Paul's cactus? 'Brooklyn-Queens' [MC Serch] Hahaha, yeah check it out 'Brooklyn-Queens' Yo, 'Brooklyn-Queens' * Daddy Rich keeps scratching *
Yo pete was on some real pimp shit in the intro now that was player. He hit his boy off wit knot and then dissed baby girl very smoothly real player shit from back in the day in Hip Hop.
This ear will never get this good again .I got my 1st gold fronts from Albee Square Mall Such a nostalgic moment in time 🤴🏾 👑 m3LL Thompson 🤴🏾 👑 Brooklyn is watching 👀
During the Golden era of Hip-Hop, in college,playing ball, fly sisters, and just chilling. This was a jam, just fun, dope, well done, man, I miss those days. 3rd Bass was fly, they did their thing, and repped hard for their boroughs.
I like how Pete Nice was always just chillin' in his chair. In a field, middle of the street, didn't matter, 'cause the Minister sits where he pleases!
He always had a snotty look on his face too
Yeah the chair thing was weird 😅😂
The chair thing isn't weird if it's considered a throne. But that may make it even weirder for some. Art is very subjective.
Cuz he was lazy, dat's y ... 💯

This is true rap. Nothing compared to today's music.
This sucked in 89
That's the truth about what you said here
The early days of hip hop was sick. the dancing was superb.
This song STILL goes hard!!!! I remember when the Fly Girls danced to this on In Living Color😁
Damn dawg, you talkin about WAY backkk then

Don’t say white boys very racist , how about if we start referring to black males as black boys
Theses 2 were bad ass hell back then. Mc Search bad ass dancer. Pete Nice cool as hell. Never will be another 2 like them.
+Michelle Mial TRUE REAL HARD RAP
Yes sir! They are still loved by me!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing Albee Square, dann near just brought my a tear to my eye. Third Bass was always the truth.
It's 2021 and I dearly miss the 90s. So much good music and the vibe was just better.
Hip hop had that positive vibe back then.
Riiiight that’s why we had Pac, Biggie killed and some NWA drama with the political side of the industry lmao
Seen these bad boys supporting Public Enemy at Glasgow Barrowlands back in 1989. Still my fave gig ever. PS I'm old!
Brilliant!!! Saw PE and a couple of other Hip Hop groups at the Barrowlands in early 90's when I was 15/16. Best gigs ever.

Happy Belated 🎂Birthday
Two signature flows, fun wordplay, a little scratching and a brilliant sample = Timeless.
I miss 80's and 90's rap so much 😫😭
DAMN, do I miss those days. Just rocking cuts, jamming, and having fun. Some of the best college jams I went to would blast this joint and the crowd would go off !! Hip-Hop 4 ever
The Cactus album had great production. An album I listened to without skipping tracks. I give it 4 out of 5 mics.
Wurd
What album is 5 out of 5 mics then?
Ohhh that Source rating though. Takes me back. Only the best of the best got 5 mics.
They spent a 💩 load of money to clear the samples..
That shearling trench coat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stick up kids is out to tax…😂😂😂
They still fire
serch's jacket and high top are epic. i'd rock that coat
right now
Ya boy Alpo from harlem wore that combo first.
DJ Daddy Rich was a monster. I still remember his scratch track on the album. He went OFF
Late 80s and early 90s should be on loop. 2017 can’t compare!
I totally forgot dope this album was was. Totally underrated. MC Search solo "Here it comes" still bumps hard to this day!
One of my favourite childhood jams! Today's hip hop SUCKS compared to this.

Good rap is everywhere these days just not on the radio

When this came out 1580 Kday ran this to the ground! It came on every 15 minutes. 1rst Mariah Cary Visions of Love, then Johnny Gil My My My , then this joint. This was in rotation at the time out west more than out Steppin to The A.M or Gasface.
Lol i was listening and i didnt realise they where white
Little Alex I think MC Search is mixed.
No Serch is all white
They are Jews, not mixed or white
You can be black or white and still be a Jew. (e.g. Sammy Davis Jr) I have heard MC Search refer to himself as a white man in interviews. These guys are White guys who are also Jews.
Robert Fernandez yes they are Jews...and they're still white.
Bro that shearing Serch was wearing was 🔥wanted one back then reeeaaal bad😂😂😂
R.I.P to the Four Chicken Wings and Fried Rice on the ground. SMH
Lmao!!
Man such great memories jammin to this on the dance floor at the club back in the 90s
this group was great
I got in a fight with my cousin over the cactus album tape that was left in our older cousin's mustang when he went to jail. The day my uncle drove it home and parked it, we were checking it out, sitting in it and The tape was sticking out. I can't remember who grabbed it first but we didn't talk to each other for like a week. And, I think it was taken away so neither of us would have it. We were like 12 or 13. The mustang was a gray gt. Long story and I'm getting off subject but I was a third bass fan from the beginning.

* 3 bars of drum beats *

[Verse 1: MC Serch]
Real cool.. cause Brooklyn's cool!
Friday June the last day of school
Girls steppin to the mall to swing
Settin up dollars for their summer fling
Cars on the avenue create gridlock
And there's girls like MAD at the bus stop
Not waitin on the bus, but waitin on the cash flow
Fellas are laughin, gassin the past ho
Girl steps to me and pushes issue
"That knot you got, is that money or tissue?"
Feelin on the bulge, thinkin it's her own
I tell her that it's money and she should move on
She says she's pure from her legs to her thighs
And we should talk over some chinese and fries
I tell her to step, but hey that's the scene
Cause she ain't nothin.. but a Brooklyn Queen
[Chorus x2]
"We are looking for 'Brooklyn'..
We are looking for the.." Brooklyn-Queens!
[Verse 2: Pete Nice]
State the rhyme, borough of Brooklyn
Otherwise known as Crooklyn
Freaks fortify flesh with gold
Ears hang trunk, in a slave hold
Walk past, don't get the time of day
Played like suede, on a summer sway
Conversated, till I made her laugh
Said, "I'm Pete Nice.. you want my autograph?"
Oval Office closed as she heard this
She said, "From 3rd Bass? I could do this"
Listen closely, slowly took a swig of intoxicants
Cause the Brooklyn Queen's a gold digger
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: MC Serch]
Squared away.. with my digits and tonight's plans
When I feel a crab grab my right hand
Slapped her on the back, tried to calm her
Asking her, "What's the reason for the drama?"
Her next move was straight out of textbook
"Haven't we met before?" Giving me a sex look
Yo Wisdom, your lyrics are in bad taste
So I'm forced to give you nothing but the Gas Face
You better go, for hoppin on the cab or bus
Cause you're downtown and you're simply too fabulous
But get this, ain't this a humdinger?
She stepped to a retard sportin' a four-finger ring
Somewhere in the skin tight jeans
I'm gonna scoop the best of the Brooklyn-Queens
[Chorus]
[Verse 4: Pete Nice]
Last exit to Brooklyn I enter
Carefully the Queen holds my scepter
Gettin' numb like a Derelict on scotch
I'm Dick Lewis, cause baby I'm watchin' you
Scheme on a brother for a knot
To choose between the have and the have-not
Do you doubt the shade of vanilla?
I'll play Elvis and you play Priscilla
Oh he's no hero, better yet Billy Dee
Advertise cheap liquor for a fee
A Brooklyn Queen, rushes Russell Simmons
That's like Tyson rushin' Givens
[Chorus x2]
* Daddy Rich scratches "Brooklyn!" repeatedly over drum beat *
* 3rd Bass says 'Brooklyn-Queens' (3X) *
[MC Serch] Who's on Prince Paul's cactus?
'Brooklyn-Queens'
[MC Serch] Hahaha, yeah check it out
'Brooklyn-Queens'
Yo, 'Brooklyn-Queens'
* Daddy Rich keeps scratching *
Anyone else still have the record or cassette tape
Damn the memories of Oldschool stories
3rd Bass was way ahead of their time!!!
Yo pete was on some real pimp shit in the intro now that was player. He hit his boy off wit knot and then dissed baby girl very smoothly real player shit from back in the day in Hip Hop.
Haaa / Pete Nice invented swag , did you catch that lingo in the intro ,u needs nods -thats enough fa u supie' LOLL

Soljah Solrac .... Facts...
Slick Rick had swag before this. Just sayin'
And Big Daddy Kane
30 years later, and I still use "Yo baby.. You see any rings on my fingers" when broads try to step to me lol
mc serch could dance back in the day
Always had mad respect for 3rd Bass .... unlike artist today ...... they always should respect for the culture .

Brooklyn is watching 👀
Albee Square Mall.
During the Golden era of Hip-Hop, in college,playing ball, fly sisters, and just chilling. This was a jam, just fun, dope, well done, man, I miss those days. 3rd Bass was fly, they did their thing, and repped hard for their boroughs.
