Everywhere you go there's someone complaining about new age rap. I say who gives a fuck if new age is shit, these old school tunes from the golden era still bang. Just keep this stuff playing cause it'll never get old.
Becuase it's poison and a terrible excuse for art and it has obliterated hip hop, it still exists but allowing this trash has lead to the destruction of it.
I totally miss the 90s. The way people just felt comfortable being themselves, original and real Hip Hop music, and real people basically. Now EVERYONE is fake, its all about sex getting laid etc, no one wants to build meaningful relationships anymore. I seriously feel bad for kids that grew up after 90s. 90s generation was era of real human interaction/meaning.
Jesus fucking christ, the 90s were shit like every other goddamn decade, get over it already Just because you grew up in them doesn't change shit about it
Hozar Hozo LOL. so biggie didn't rap about sex, drugs, or violence? neither did the wu-tang? or snoop? or eazy? or redman? or 2pac? or big l? or dre? or big pun? or onyx? you act like every rapper was a nas or lauryn hill. what are you talking about? sure, i love the era as much as the next person, but to say that the decade was the only one of "real human interaction" is just ignorant. do some research and figure out who are making albums in 2015. try to make that argument afterwards. you can't.
Hozar Hozo you clearly don't know how to listen to hip hop direct quote from this song "I hit the skins collect the check now I'm ready to jet"... thats blatant meaningless sex, which is fine. shut up
+OZtheTechnician You're insanely ignorant. People are going to speak about that in every decade, that's never going to change. The MAJORITY consensus was an atmosphere as described by Hozar Hozo back in the 90s. Growing up in Bronx, New York, the origin of hip hop, I can personally draw from experience. Even the drug dealers in my building were about meaningful human interaction. It was a whole different era back then. No Facebook, no instagram, you were forced to interact with others which literally forces you to be "real". There's no being fake or acting like something you're not behind the internet at that time. You would get checked REAL quick.
2000 was a great year in hiphop :) slum village was dropping hot shit around then I think thats the around the time little brother dropped their first album I can go on and on but you get my point. Hot shit dropping even now in 2017
This track reminds me of a year in Australia, as nice as the weather was some of the fondest memories were chilling at home digging for new hip hop. I'm glad this track will be the one to transport me to the easy times.
Yo man those songs from the 90' are properly mind blowing, it's insane! Thinking of thoses guys experimenting an art not realizing how it would influence what we call now as rap music.. Theses will never get old, and i will actually pass this on my children lmao
Unfortunately, most will never know about this or any underground hip hop music. I was fortunate to grow up listening to rap like this from the 90's. 90's rap is golden age of hip hop never will be replicated
Ladies and Gentleman this is Hip Hop music - Great rapper, good lyrics, good beat and what a sample... remember sampling jazz, funk and soul tunes......... Not auto tuning!!! I challenge the music of Hip Hop and Hip Artist of today - To try and start to make music like this again - I dare you!!!
Uhmm Wu-Tang Clan just released an album not too long ago and its pretty good. Not to mention Nas is still in the game? Aesop Rock is still dropping bombs and DJ Premier does mad beats for rappers now and dont get me started on Joey Badass and all the poeple under Pro Era label. Another bomb ass record label is Rhymesayers based outta the midwest. Its out there you just gotta stop being lazy and find it
@@brachbarber2889 Lol, Wu-Tang and Nas are washed up. And yeah, anyone who doesn't want to dig through thousands of albums of new trash to find one that might be good is "lazy". Moron. Why not just stick with the 90's where there's endless good shit and it's not that hard to find.
dude @hankeshh thank you so much for uploading all this. I cant stand the current iteration of trap influenced beat production and raga style vocals. Styles come and go, and its all good, but this was a special time for rap and hip hop, and if you grew up in the suburbs of the west coast this is like gold, because its all new to me, like someone granted me a wish i didn't know I could make.

Quite a few lyrics here aren't correct - "It's time for sun rise so finally embrace the truth" is the correct bar for that line. "So brothers with real skills" not Two brothers. Its "Pranksters" not Wanksters. It's "Rest spot" instead of rest pot, "Cess Spot" instead of zest spot because he's talking about a smoke spot as well as the quarter for back part actually being "Call the fuck back" - and finally it's "When my addiction extends" (obviously because he's addicted to spitting bars) Got most of it right though.
I always think about how dudes from the nineties couldn't have predicted the internet/UA-cam/streaming. Bc if they could've they wouldn't have such unspecific names like "L." lol. Unless you're a mega superstar, with a name like that, it'd be so difficult to find you.
The vinyl record thumbnail side of UA-cam is the best 😎👌
One thing is for sure, we're all nodding our heads.

Yes!!
90s beats n rhymes can bury modern hip hop
There no such thing as modern hip hop, there is hip hop and there is shit.
90's are da best
90's forever!
It could if it was after. Someone gotta bring it back

@@Instinct-lyricist7 Facts , It's destroyed Black culture. It's much bigger than just another style of music that went to shit.
Again people like yall just don't dig. Most of the talent nowadays is mostly underground or are usually underatted
If you truly love hip hop you would search all over the place to find talent and not just be one dimensional
Not saying 90s rap is bad. Infact I love alot of jazz rap and boom bap myself and I consume that shit like crack cocaine in the 80s
Rap music is therapeutic to me....love the old skool sound :-)
Mee tooooooo
Pre '96 Hip-Hop is truly "Therapeutic".
@@keyopronin4134 idk, Moment of Truth is the most therapeutic album to me, i would say the whole 90'z.
i agree to man the bassline is thumping
You couldn’t have said it better blessing

Hozar Hozo Keep it real and be happy about that. Maybe you will be able to influence others to do the same and help them be happy with themselves.

WHY IS THIS NON EXISTENT NOW? BRING BACK DA REAL HIP HOP!!
the people gave in to the programming.
now we have the youth listenig to satanic hypnotic fake rap music where rhymes are exchanged for noises and references to sex, drugs, and partying.
sometimes I wonder if its a conspiracy to undermine black solidarity and true meaningfullness conveyed in hip hop
no no you're right, it is sadly.
Times have changed, that's all. Nothing lasts forever.
i wish mainstraem music today was still like this ......... nothing can top the 90s

My peoples in Boston, check the flow
My peoples in Rhode Island, check the flow
My peoples in Connecticut, check the flow
My peoples in New York, check the flow
My peoples in Jersey, check the flow
My peoples in Philly, check the flow
My peoples in Delaware, check the flow
My peoples in Baltimore, check the flow
Now check it
[Verse 1]
Okay so niggas got skills but still be jockin mine
I shape them cyphers in the form of octagons
So my shit can ricochet off the whole brigade
And blow up on emcees like a live grenade
I got that shit you lookin for so put it into quest
Infinite numbers count the flows I possess
Ancient rhyme styles are now put to a rest
Give you pains in your chest like work-related stress
I come to block rhymes and those who front Glock 9's
Gangster stories, and perpetrate the hard times
Out with the days when the darkness chased the youth
It's time for sun, race and finally then raise the truth
And bring forth the light, cuz it's only right
Two brothers with real skills get to rock the mic
Curse the gimmicks, I hate fake wanksters and mimics
It's time for Hip-Hop to be truly represented
Check the flow
[Chorus + Vocal sample]
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so nice
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so right
You know you've got a flow that makes me feel so good
Flow on, flow on

Check the flow

My peoples in Virginia, check the flow
You with them Carolinas, check the flow
My peoples in Miami, check the flow
[Verse 2]
Okay it's one for the money, two for the time
Three for the opportunity to go for mine
We'll eliminate them sucka crews line after line
Shootin lyrics like a 9 with a style defined
From the minute I go in it takin shit to the limit
Makin sure the hilltop is properly represented
Cause that be the rest pot, brothers that test got
A quarter for back, we make it hot like a zest spot
In the backroom we never make a wack tune
We got the props to get ya open like Black Moon
Brothers be testin me, booty style stressin me
Everybody claim they got the flava for the recipe
Some want the money, some do it for the sexin
Some spend they lives tryna sound like the next man
Well, I got skills on the mic, ayo I never fronted
The L's real, kid, so act like you want it

No competition when I'm speakin on this non-fiction
Layin it down on 8 second bits of repetition
My expedition begins where my diction accents
The average level - I'm a certified funk rebel
Who won't tolerate emcees I consolidate
Into one crew, so less suckaz I must run through
Who claim they nice on the mic, but what they got for me?
I'm something fierce when it comes to the auditory
My mic sings like a hummingbird, that's my word
My claim to fame is the fliest that you ever heard
Yo pass the mic to L. Fly and let me catch wreck
Cause I gets busy, the show or the soundcheck
It doesn't matter yo, the pockets gettin fatter
You can save all the chatter cause we thick like batter
Somebody gotta win, somebody gotta lose
Yo I pay my dues and I refuse to lose
Givin crews the blues with any style you choose
We chantin real Hip-Hop, fuck the "Ahh's!" and "Oo's!"
