No auto tune, an actual hook, rapid fire lyrics, structure, no over use of the N word to fill in empty lyrics, and a 🔥🔥 analog beat. *This* is the real stuff.
I'm trying to think of its equal, but I'm finding it very difficult ... sure the Pac fans have something, but daaayyyuuummn, that line stops you in your tracks...
The moshers of the hip hop family!! I'm a total metel-head and had never even heard of Onyx until they jammed with Biohazard friggin' dug right in, man! Pure respect.
its the education, most of the new rappers haven't picked up a book no have they made time to learn bout their self so they have nothing to actually talk about apart from the 3rd dimensions desires and even then it's very hard for them to get their point across. That's why they all sound the same.
Man haven't heard this song in over 20 years and when Sticky started rapping I remembered his verse like it was yesterday. This was the first crunk song that I could remember that used to have people getting hyped whenever it came on.
This used to be one of my Dad's favorite videos before he passed away in 2010. Today (3/29/2017) is his birthday and he would have turned 80! No joke! Sleep with the angels Daddy!
@@tylerspunucious7420Dude the 90s literally spawned almost every modern metal genre and metal sub-genres people took sounds of old bands and pushed it to the next level during the 90s. Nu metal, groove metal, Industrial metal, Brutal Death Metal, Slam Death Metal, Goregrind etc. The 90s were the most revolutionary period for Metal and Hip-Hop and just music in general. It’s a shame music started deteriorating once around late 2000’s.
I mainly listen to deathmetal but yesterday I was listening to this and wu tang clan and c murder. I love this song cuz slam is my favorite kind of metal hahahah also this is a hard ass song
Can we agree NYC/ New Jersey Rappers was on another stratosphere in rap? Their tongues was fast as lightning, thought process like a high speed data processor.
I was 11 years old … my uncle had a boom box so he played many hip hop songs but one day while playing the radio this song came on ….. from that day forward i turned on his boom box just waiting to hear this song again ! That was the day i became a consumer of hip hop ! Onyx-slam introduced me to hip hop
More than 101 of the most hardcore hip-hop emcees lent their wisdom for the books *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. They interviewed Onyx, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, Das EFX, Heltah Skeltah, Tribe, Pharcyde, and others.
I’m a 58 year old great auntie - I played base in numerous bands - GLUE and Drunks with Guns the most boss . I’ve appointed myself music godmother to my great nephew , as his parents tastes may be a bit narrow . I’m going to have that child grooving to the best of every decade and genre since recordings have been a thing . I don’t have kids so I’m so excited to bring the music to the little one !!!
90s thru 2000 something hip hop was at its best. Just was a different level of music and talent. Majority of talent today can't compare to them days. OG's for real. 🙏💪
