Here I am, 43 years old, schooling my 15 year old son on real rap and this song still hits like no other. I remember when this song dropped, i was younger than my son is now and it means even more now than when I was a teenager.
This beat is sooooo hypnotic. Such a classic example of NY Hip Hop. No other city was fucking with 1970s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s NY. Even those who tried learned that shit. Those times built up strong characters and upbringing for the artists from there, and the music reflects it
+Raider Hazard the west ruled COMMERCIALLY only during the early 90s, but guys like Rakim, Chuck D, Kool G Rap, Onyx, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, DITC, Wu Tang, A Tribe Called Quest, Redman, Freddie Foxxx, AZ, Gang Starr, Black Moon, and Masta Ace still released classic albums during those years. By the time 94 came, the East, and especially artists from NY have already surpassed in quality, and matched in sales, even surpassing sales by the late 90s. The West fell off after 96. It's not even a comparison 🙄
These men had the whole n.y wearing army gear and tims when they dropped. Just imagine how n.y looked in that time with army gear and tims everywhere. They held it down when n.y didn't have any hard-core records. Gotta love these guys all day Brooklyn love.
One of the things Smif N Wessun and the rest of BCC did so well was going back and forth line to line instead of just taking turns with verses. You could tell the chemistry between that whole crew was organic.
This is what I've been saying for years now, the back-and-forth art is an old school performance act that is dying but when done properly is super dope. Smif N Wessun was one of the best to do this. Nas and Kool G Rap also did well on "Fast Life". I wish more duos would do this
This track needs to be wrekonized worldwide, every human being with a soul & a heart needs and deserves to hear this ! It's a real thing of beauty, a masterpiece ... Something to marvel at for all eternity ... If you still listen to this in 2021 and beyond, leave a comment, let's keep this song alive !
I needed this. Takes me back to my High School days in the 90's. Now chillin in my backyard with a glass of wine and a shot of Peach Schnaps. Long live the magical era of the 90's.
The best era of hiphop as I knew it...was right here..... just listen to that beat after u smoke a dutch on relaxing mode....Music never be the same... 90" forever
@@BianGoole Dutch Masters is the brand name of the cigar that is popular because you can break it open and empty the tobacco and replace with marijuana. Back in the day it was a lot of brick weed and the cigar paper made it taste better. Now a Dutch Masters combined with good weed is where it's at. Philly blunts were/are another popular brand.
Man, I love that Steel n Tek are still down after all these years! Through the thick and thin, such a testament to true brotherhood. Listening June 2022 still 🔥🔥🔥

I even recognize some people in it omg memories !! One of my favorite songs, this and just the two of us.
@@brandon0981 I'm guessing she means that they're "hood" instead of the hood being them. The hood isn't their identity. It's just where they come from so they take on certain behaviors. But being from the hood doesn't turn them into low lives.
There is such an amazing community on every comment section of old school hip hop 80s/90s videos, it's so refreshing. Literally not one troll ever. Just old cats who were bumping it back when it came out and us new cats who are digging and doing our homework. Peace & Love. - Grobe
Different levels. You couldn’t replicate this if you tried your hardest. One off, they’ll never make em like this again. So much positivity and ambition. Masterpiece.
I’ve seen some blind,some deaf,some dumb Whichever one chooses to follow the other one loses Due to mass confusion caused by fast illusion Showing and proving, it’s not just a phrase that we using It’s the way of life when you keep it moving !!!
25yrs later still 🔥 glad to still have this gem on CD salute BK all day Smif n Wessun I remember when they did this video all over Eastern Parkway ,Bedstuy, Brownsville,Crown Heights 💯
Life is good when you got real ones you can cope with. real hip hop got me through slot of hard times!!!!!!!GOD like blessings!!!!!!! one love!!!!!!! peace...
I come here each morning just in time for.. "Early to rise awake way before day break meditating on the steps i take i realize theres a lot at stake.."
I'm just content, I got to experience this on a Trinitron. Just me and this track, jiving after school. Couldn't care anymore for anything all the stress and tension leaving one cell at a time till I felt the cold clouds. That cool kid.
I rocked the Mary J remix when headed on my patrols! That “I shine; you shine” part is heavy af! Here 20 something plus a few weeks years later from the intial push…..
I get goosebumps looking at this vid, man. This was 1995! For anyone that grew up around that time remembers the energy in the streets and in Hip Hop. Other than that, this was constantly coming on Video Music Box. All that's missing is the REQUEST LINE number flashing on the screen. LMAO But other than that, I'm good.

Classic hip-hop when the lyrics and the message were the most important elements.
I know , this is why hip hop was created , people doesn't know what is real music nowadays.
Grams of get right hides pounds of anger...
Back when vocal tone and quality meant something as well. Buck down wins
Plus this sample and beat are fire
What about the beat? You throwin shade on many legendary producers

Golden Years 🔥
These guys never got the credit they deserved. They captured that era of hip hop perfectly maybe now only obvious because the era is over.
When Beatminers are on production you'd never say about undeserved credits. They deserve, both brothers, we know it and we love it.

Yes I agree
Word up !
Bring back REAL HIP HOP like this!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
One of the most UNDERRATED groups from the 90's. 25 yrs later and still strong !
Facts
They were not underrated...just underground
another underrated rap duo

Teaching healthy living, we need more songs like this...
“Timbs every season for ass kickin reasons” absolute bar
Mega strong
one of the best ever!
I would like but theres already 69
its not every, its ALL seasons.
@@serious6037 Correct, this gives it the proper rhythm
The brotherhood of BCC was and still is unmatched. BCC for life. Rest in P!
One of the greatest tracks ever made.
Listen to the lyrics these guys were saying, so lyrical deep and intelligent. Smiff and Wesson legends.
Real.
These two played in Baltimore not too long ago and it was the most live concert i’ve been to!
They still perform? 😯
The best era of hiphop as I knew it...was right here..... just listen to that beat after u smoke a dutch on relaxing mode....Music never be the same... 90" forever
And you can believe dat shit
Why is it called a Dutch. I am Dutch btw

Was chillin in the crip Smokin some shit and this came up in a spotify playlist rlly good song maaane
Akoto Editing. You was chillin in a crip?
New boy’s thinking about the best music is in 2024 but i think was the best in 80’s 90’s !!!
Dropping knowledge! as you learn and grow you see. More in these classics
As much as I love the original version with that great bassline, this remix is just perfect. Their chemistry is off the charts.
Same
Man, I love that Steel n Tek are still down after all these years! Through the thick and thin, such a testament to true brotherhood. Listening June 2022 still 🔥🔥🔥
So fresh, so real, so simple...so 90’s
Bring this style of hip-hop back
Back when rap had a standard and before skinny jeans. I miss it!

Big up the whole Brooklyn. Really NYC. 90s Rap, Hip Hop was really the best era. Iykyk. If you don't, you better WREKONIZE!!!

Tears of joy when I listen to this!

Grew up on real shit and always come back to these classics after too much of new school.
I gotta thank for having the 90s music channel on spectrum, all these good songs always come on glad I found this again. Good song
Almost September 2022 still bumping 🔥. Great memories growing up as a teen. Bring back Rap City or Yo MTV raps.
I love that they are so hood. 😍 Genuine hood, not low life hood
Trish Jean-Louis ❤️
Trish Jean-Louis you could tell they mad smart
they came from a dirty project dump to a amazing penthouse in Manhattan
Respect
@@brandon0981 I'm guessing she means that they're "hood" instead of the hood being them. The hood isn't their identity. It's just where they come from so they take on certain behaviors. But being from the hood doesn't turn them into low lives.
Shoutout to everybody that likes this song and/or is still listening to it today. You are a true REAL-Hip-Hop junkie!
please god bring the 90's back
Can I miss places I've never visited and things I've never experienced? This song is proof for me 💙
😄 🤣 me too
Straight classic. Amazing sample with their signature style = timeless joint.
Ummm...this track is crazy. Probably one of the best rap tracks I ever heard in my life...lol dang the 90's beats are so unique!

Word up the greatest.
Been listening to this song on repeat for the past 3 years and I ain’t stopping anytime soon.
Love how they bounce lyrics off each other after the 2 minute mark. genius.
They do that in a lot of their songs. Tek & Steele, one of the best to do the back and forth style
