This song helps me get by with all thats been happening in my life. Losing 2 dogs, my uncle... my baby brother. All within the same year. Life is tough and alongside my little and big brother and songs like this is what keeps me level headed. I miss you, Rene, rest easy
@@powderedtoastfacekillah734 yes 💯%. I loved both the albums you listed, infact all there albums are gold, but the beats and baseline on this album is what clinched 1st place for me
Golden Era. The game had everything going for it, commercial success, real emcees, diverse subject matter, dope beats, black females had their place and respect, not forgetting this era gave us tonnes of classics.
And it was all a fresh and an original thing. Someone getting into real hip-hop now is in luck because these classics will only get better as time goes by.
The best advice I ever took; When fall don’t be so quick to get up. Stay there a moment and looking around. Look back and try to see how you got there.
I just want hip hop music to become like that again, real, with heart and soul. I'm glad that I was a teenager in the 90s and grew up with this style of rap!❤
I'm eternally grateful to ATCQ for writing this record. This record dropped when I was a senior in high school. I remember all too well what it was like to graduate and now I gotta go out here in the world and strike it out for myself not knowing what to do, where to go, or who to go to for help, plus I'm young and inexperienced so people are going to take advantage of that by lying to me, cheating me, stealing from me. Just all the trials and tribulations, all the ups and downs of being young while trying to make it on my own with the whole world on my shoulders. This record got me through A LOT. Thank you, Tribe. Rest peacefully, 5 Foot Freak.
Songs like this were the only friends I had back when I was a teen in the 90s. When I was at home by myself away from all the noise, the music came on and kept me from spiraling. Now in my 40s, I sincerely wish the youth of today could have something like this to save them.
This record met alot to me. As a 15 year kid I truly was goin through it. Even now this record is still relevant to this day. Thanks for always getting me through it. ✊🏿😎
80’s and 90’s hip hop will always get airtime in my house and car.Rest well Phife.Q-Tip is an all time great rapper.Faith killed the hook with her beautiful voice.I’m literally tearing up typing this,miss these times and music.We have all been stressed out,can relate.We are going to make it,believe me.
Beats, Rhymes and Life was def their tougher release out their catalog. First 3 releases you could tell they was having fun with those albums, but this one felt different, songs like this one made it one of their more serious releases, and they never compromised their craft during it all, which is why Tribe is legendary in Hip Hop.💯💯
"Your whole being, comes from greatness, do remember Shaytan got you caught in the storms of December And brothers on the block packing nines like September Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender"
A song for hard times
It's not that we're hanging on to the 90's, we just want music that means something like this.
A lot of good artists out there man
If you still thinking like this just want to let you know that you are losing on more that you think
@@stefanoc8039 what are we losing?
Preach BOP!
@@gannibalof21st that's what I want to know
Faith killed that hook
Her voice is just pure gold
Too much
Yes sir
I love it
It's a rendition of an older song, not really original, but yeah she can sing no doubt
This song helps me get by with all thats been happening in my life. Losing 2 dogs, my uncle... my baby brother. All within the same year. Life is tough and alongside my little and big brother and songs like this is what keeps me level headed. I miss you, Rene, rest easy
I'm right there with you
Condolences to you!
Praying for you

Oh
Very insightful
1:38 Q tip’s verse is one of the realest, relatable and most beautifully written words said in a song.
I prefer phifes. More relatable
I just want hip hop music to become like that again, real, with heart and soul. I'm glad that I was a teenager in the 90s and grew up with this style of rap!❤
Me too!!
This song got me thru the sadness of my mom having to undergo brain surgery when I was a kid. Thank God the tumor wasn’t cancerous 🙏🏾
Thanks Dilla, this is cream of creaam. The best of all time, RIP Jey Dee

I still have the full album on vinyl. Much love and respect from SA Gugulethu CPT.
2023 ?❤
Beats, Rhymes and Life was the first rap/hip-hop album that I bought.
Still relatable af nearly 25 years later. This is a classic in every sense of the word.
Back when music taught a message of some sort in each song released.
When i was a kid my dad would drive me to school playing this song now im a grown man riding around an now more than ever this song hits deep. Bless
Song be making me cry
Tribe couldn’t miss 90s forever
Her voice is so beautiful 😍
Thank you Moesha for putting me on to this classic as a little tot! ❤
Faith Evans never disappoints
Faith was perfect for that hook
Indeed.
I remember when people hated on both this and "1nce Again" because they both had girls singing the hook. Talking about "THEY SOLD OUT." Seriously.
I'm blessed to be from my era.. FAITH IS A MONSTER.. she lit ppl shit onfire
Most underrated R&B singer because she was overshadowed by the Biggie stuff.
@@missdee4927 her debut album was a classic
Thats what 2pac said
Tune...Faith Evans has such a beautiful voice 😊
Yes she do
Faith on the hook 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Faith did her big one 🤎🤎
RIP Phife & J Dilla
I love the base line, and the nostalgia almost makes my soul ache.. 😔😊
Does it get real for anyone else when they hear this? Tears
Thought I was the only one real shit real feelings
The whole album.
Everytime I listen to it fam. Word up.

@@lorismith6662 Great song!
This is my jam back in 96 when I was 10 years old listening to 103 jamz
The hip hop jams of 95 and 96 were timeless.
ATCQ are hip hop history point blank period....
“Ya whole being comes from greatness you remember” The realest verse to mediate on🥺🙌🏾
Faith doing that 90s head bob into the camera. Same thing mary j did.. I miss those days
One of the best songs I've ever heard!
Am down with this track.
It's helping me go through my hard time.
Who's with me at this time of the year please smash the tumb up for me.
This record met alot to me. As a 15 year kid I truly was goin through it. Even now this record is still relevant to this day. Thanks for always getting me through it. ✊🏿😎
You're preaching to the choir with your statement , so many mornings I'd wake up play this 1st thing & press on through the day.
💯💪✊😎Glad this help you push thru💯
Yeah, the 90's was it.
Me too bro,same age too...all the way in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, this was my motivator during my struggles,shout out to my bro MK

Real Rap! Hip Hop!! When u go back N forth spitting real rhymes telling a tale of how some of us lived and been thru. R.I.P BROTHER Phife.
Tip looks fresh as hell in this vid
Decades later, I'm just now realizing that's Consequence doing much of the rhyming lol. Never saw his name given credit with this song.
This song is still phenomenal mad years later. Such a gem.
These Brothers put it in front of our faces! Love Tribe, positive energy on the majority, if not all tracks...Thank you so much! RIP Malik
I love the base line, and the nostalgia almost makes my soul ache.. 😔😊
Zoë Jansen J Dilla 😊

What a timeless classic. Right here filled with visions of my youth running around carefree. This song cuts deep in ways I cant explain 😭
This album is something else in vibes...
Lovvveee this song soooo much, especially the end "one way we gone Makin it" "were gonna make it"..😊👍
I see why Janet liked and dated q-tip
I do
Confusion & issues brought me back here. Still listening 10/23
Faith & Tribe was on point!
Faith Evans superbe refrain....CLASSIC
my girl Faith killing the hook😍😍
Who the fuck could dislike this master piece? Still banging with dis joint 20years later
still, one of my fav songs ❤🩹
Omg thank you God for lettting me love Hip Hop
I remember I was going to College in 1998 and I bought this album it really cheered me up when times got tough.
This is the song I learned to count measures to in music class in middle school back in the '90s
People sleep heavy on this album and the love movement way too much both these albums heat
Rip Benny Harvey, gone but not forgotten
I love when our favorite groups or artists had positive messages in their songs.... Peace & love to all my hip hop headz
In 2022 we still waiting on dope positivity to be released in hiphop!
One of the realist hip hop songs ever
Even in 2023, I still listen to this gem daily😇🙏❤️👍🤗
This video looks like it was made in 2020 and musically sounds timeless.....should’ve got a Grammy nod
Let 'em have That Grammy ...
We got Us. 💯

"Your whole being, comes from greatness, do remember

Real shit
Real hip hop
This is my jam, when I'm feeling down it makes me feel better.
RIP Phife, thanks for the gift of music u laid out for all of eternity
I was a child in these times but this song sticks a ice cube on my skin. Goosebumps😢
consequence and tribe really work out together
It's sad to think about that this being one of the strongest songs in ATCQ's catalogue the group was falling apart 😔
Heard this cut back in day 1time never knew made it now l know 👍🏿💯
Damn Faith was pretty as hell.
Love how they sampled Anita Baker's Good Love
One of the best songs of all time
So much talent in 1 song. I wonder why people have overshadow Faith this much. She deserves commercial success.
It would be nice if radio stations and record companies promote this type of real music again. Oh how I miss and love the 90s!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
