Rest easy LayLaw. I always felt that this production was ahead of it's time. It's so dope and sinister and the backwards loop and NWA and PE samples were just crazy. Hell of a way to kick off one of the dopest albums of the 90's.
Ruthless Records “Golden & Platinum Era”. No one could touch groups like : Above The Law N.W.A The D.O.C. & Dr. Dre JJ Fad DJ Yella & Menajahtwa, HWA, & Ect. Ruthless Ran $hit From 1988 to 1998 STRAIGHT! Rest In Peace Eric “Eazy-E” Wright & KMG from Above The Law! 11523 Eternal Also, Rest In Peace Jerry Heller.
Also the sample from "Cold Lampin' With Flavor", the "now I got a murder rap", definitely makes me want to listen to Public Enemy, even when this came out in 1990.
I remember being 12 listening to Above the law, NWA, DOC. Never even heard the word “gangsta rap” but, I just knew that I was in love with this style of music.
This is such a great song. The production is sick on this track. They took the theme from the Ironside TV show and flip that shit. This track was definitely one of Ruthless best tracks. R.I.P. KMG!
I swear above the law was the shit, you would of thought they'd of done a documentary or biopic on this group by now, I banged the hell out of their music, I remember buying the first and second albums and played it till the tape popped, and I'm from DELAWARE, so yes they was getting love out here. one of the most underrated rap groups EVER. STRAIGHT FIRE.
In DELAWARE lol that's just awesome. I swear some of the stuff people listen to today makes me wonder how the fuck did we get to that starting from this masterpiece
man I miss real hip hop glad am a 70 baby grew up 90 real hip hop Migos all these lil groups ant got jack on 90 groups above law NWA geto boys cmw public enemy so on
I feel blessed that I had older siblings and got to know gangsta rap from a young age although I am Greek. I am grateful that as a 19 year old I know that much of music. Happy 2021 and stay safe everybody!
this has to be, not only one of dre's best production work, but best production in rap history PERIOD. this song was way ahead of its time. goddamn classic
+kolisionn An exact rip from the bomb squad of public enemy...even used a Chuck D sample. Amazing how influential Public Enemy was to NWA and it was Dre who stated that the first person he gave the "Niggaz with Attitude" LP to was Chuck D
@@andresmejia2695 are you asking or stating? I'm confused because of the question mark at the end of your sentence. Regardless if Dre or 187 made, it's still a hard ass beat in my opinion.
no i'm 23 actually and this video was shot in 1990 when the hi top fade was popular not too many people were rockin the cornrows as much that's why i said he was ahead of his time.
yeah but i wasn't talking about just black people in los angeles i was talking about nationwide popularity with cornrows didn't start until the early 2000s so that's why i said he was ahead of his time which he was with alot of stuff he was apart of.
Bob Jordan yeah i know stevie wonder and a few others but they became popular among many black men in the early 2000's..like throwback jerseys du rags etc wtc.

Hell Yeah, this is real music.

Can we just appreciate the genius of Cold 187 Um's production and verbal skills?
Yep. Dr. Dre also mixed the song
Stop asking people to appreciate and just enjoy the song already.

😂😂
West Coast hip hop/gangsta rap masterpiece
Mechacelzi Yes siiirrr!
One of the best rap groups 🔥
this divides the real fans from kids who watched straight outta compton and think they know what 90s gangsta rap was
+R.I.P JACKA --- you're right, except Straight Outta Compton gangsta rap album came out in '88 not the 90's
+Baltimore Z-Wad
He's talking about the movie.
+R.I.P JACKA - Dre produced this song
lol ye
Anyone know who the woman in the video is?
Bring 90s back 😢
Cold 187um is an underrated lyricist
Cold 187 Hutch. One of the best to ever do it.
Classic. No one had this sound back in the day. That was the beauty of rappers in the 80’s & 90’s. Everyone had their own sound
Is it just me or music these days sounds like it all came from the same plastic factory in Singapore or some shit?
No doubt indeed!
@@leorevolt9865
Nah, It's not You, LOL! That's exactly what the new shit sounds like. Mass produced off brand bullshit. SMDH!!
ATL!!! One of the best and most underrated West Coast rap groups ever!
This is a true Hip Hop classic!
Yes!
Yo! I'm dying laughing at the way Eazy leaped the couch. Dre was right behind him and he just disappeared Eazy jumped up so quick 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The same shit I was laughing at too 😂😂😂

Rest easy LayLaw. I always felt that this production was ahead of it's time. It's so dope and sinister and the backwards loop and NWA and PE samples were just crazy. Hell of a way to kick off one of the dopest albums of the 90's.

No one could touch groups like :
Above The Law
N.W.A
The D.O.C. & Dr. Dre
JJ Fad
DJ Yella & Menajahtwa, HWA, & Ect.

Also, Rest In Peace Jerry Heller.
Jerry Heller once said that "Above The Law would have been N.W.A. if N.W.A. had never existed."
"Tell him that we On A MISSION" DOPE LINE🔥👌🔥
the loud scream sample on 3.35 is the BEST ever used on a rap record, period.

Man, that sample from Bring the Noise is making me want to listen to P.E. - time to continue the walk down memory lane. More classic rap!
Also the sample from "Cold Lampin' With Flavor", the "now I got a murder rap", definitely makes me want to listen to Public Enemy, even when this came out in 1990.
They also used the sample of Ice Cube from Straight Outta Compton.
WRONG I THINK ITS FROM IRONSIDE ! WITH RAYMOND BURR
That Ironside sample is in SO MANY things, I was actually wondering where it came from only a day or so ago. Awesome timing! Thanks.
Time to listen to Fear of a Black Planet
G funk 4ever fire 🔥🔥🔥
One of the dopest songs of all time! And the beat is fiya!
Man I'm 40 now still listen to this
I remember being 12 listening to Above the law, NWA, DOC. Never even heard the word “gangsta rap” but, I just knew that I was in love with this style of music.
Ruthless records at its best!
Une de mes Première cassette que j ai échangé avec un américain en voyage dans un train en Espagne
This is such a great song. The production is sick on this track. They took the theme from the Ironside TV show and flip that shit. This track was definitely one of Ruthless best tracks. R.I.P. KMG!

@@andresmejia2695 are you asking or stating? I'm confused because of the question mark at the end of your sentence. Regardless if Dre or 187 made, it's still a hard ass beat in my opinion.
@@WBendolph Nah bruh I agree with you saying it’s a hard as beat 187 made this track tho
@@andresmejia2695 dre produced the album properly in the studio. 187 wrote the track(s). There’s a difference between writing and producing.
@@WBendolph Hutch (Cold 187-um) produced this. Definitely hard asf.
Eazy was rockin the cornrows before they were popular. Way ahead of his time.
no i'm 23 actually and this video was shot in 1990 when the hi top fade was popular not too many people were rockin the cornrows as much that's why i said he was ahead of his time.

deZusCHRIST wasn't dre who produced it. cold 187um of above the law actually did it
shady hodge in the actual creds it says produced by dr. dre and easy e. doesn't mater tho, it still slaps
deZusCHRIST - Cold 187 produced this track. Credits don't always tell the REAL story.
Fuck Dr. Dre
Dre definitely worked on this one
Hip Hop in its purest form!
Crazy after all these years how I can hear the LL & BDP influence on this...
