This touched my soul. Brought tears to my eyes. I’m a Houston native born and raised. I was jammin this all through my teenage years while also discovering Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is a beautiful blend of hip hop blues. Love how he emphasized a “god damnit” and “motherfucker” for good measure. Much love to The Ghetto Boys and Nether Hour!
I was feet to ledge, 7 to who knows how many days in the clutch of a drug binge WITHOUT A WINK OF SLEEP OR HOPE, the Cosmos/ Universe graced me with this song yall covered &....... it was clear to me that I'm not alone & the world is FULL OF SPLENDOR & BEAUTY WORTH LIVING FOR,BOUNDLESS LOVE & LIGHT TO YALL, THANK YOU TO MY WIFE,THIS IS HER PAGE & phone. I LOVE you Chris,rsa~12 days clean❤
That rendition is a masterpiece. I’m 45 years old and I grew up on the ghetto boys and southern rap. Y’all need to do an OutKast cover song. I’m definitely going to keep up with you guys, keep banging them!
This hits hard for me because after I came back from the war I suffer from what this song describes. I'm in my room right now sitting in the dark and that's all I have to say about that. Semper Fi
Just when I think the algorithm has no hope I wake up to this absolute gem in my feed. Few covers raise to the level of the original, where they make it their own. This is one of those.
This came across my feed and my first thought was "A Geto Boys cover?" Then I clicked play.......This is absolutely amazing! Never ever would have thought back in the early 90's that one day I'd hear a jazzzy/bluesy cover of this song.
I’m a 44 year old Houstonian and remember when this was in constant rotation on 97.9 The Box. If I recall correctly they used to have a top 10 or 5 countdown and this was #1 for months. This was a great rendition that didn’t screw up a timeless classic.
I'm blown away by this, who the hell turns ghetto greatness into such a smooth groove . Well done gentlemen well fucking done . Coming from a 50 yr.old Texacon !!!
They didn't just do a remix in a different genre. They put STANK on it. Turned hard-core O.G. rap into a work of art. Not rapping but singing the vocals. Throwing down the organ solo that beckons the call of the reefer smoke till its funk fills the room. At least...that's what happened here. This was done deliberately with diabolical intention, talent, and professionalism on a high level. Not corporate musicians churning out trending short ordered topics while their hot on demand to make a buck. Artists. RESPECT 😎
Thanks. I'm passionate about all forms of music and am a musician myself. This performance was truly inspiring to me. Ive seen many studio musicians and even rock stars that will whip up songs that are carbon copies of whats hot in a pinch desperate to stay relevant or to maintain good status with their labels that pressure them to churn out music in stacks. This was much more than that. Creativity, inspiration, and art don't come out of a tap. The group was paying homage to an icon. Tell me where to apply for a job reviewing music, and I'll happily sign up. Take care of yourself.
Right Right it's not like he's spitten those hard blyrical bars in the same heavy bass foundation...persay like more familiar hip hop sound. , and like you said and the best way to describe it to describe is "stank"#flow#htown
I'm an old hip-hop head who grew up in the 80s and 90s and this is one of the best covers I've ever heard of an old hip-hop song I grew up on. Shit is soulful and smooth as fuck!
At the gym this wonderful Tuesday morning and something someone somewhere said click this And I did Then I read the comments about how amazing this song is and I see your comment I’m sure glad I came ❤
I love that this was suggested. i saw the cowboy hats and was like, ain't no way....but i listened and was blown away...super funky and bluesy...I've listened 20 times since yesterday...i do gotta ask why they skipped willie d's verse?
Damn, you all some slick dudes for real, this is absolutely pure magic the guitar work, the keyboard solo gave me chills, percussion on point and the vocals, made this just dirty sexy. Damn boys dont know why I am just now finding you, but thank you for appearing in my life, subscribed for damn sure
@@netherhour already sent it to him on his social media! Hope he sees it! I know he'll appreciate the band especially the use of the electric guitar. Seriously dope rendition fellas!
Damn that is crazy cool ✌️❤️💯 . And respect for having the balls to cover that CLASSIC track that made the whole world look down south! 46 years old and I bought the album the day it was in the record stores (damn I miss that word and the smell of fresh vinyl) in Copenhagen Dk 💪. Rap-A-Lot 4 LIFE ✌️💪. R.I.P Bushwick! Never to be forgotten 💯🔥❤️! Peace
JAMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......NOW THATS HOW YOU TAKE A SONG AND MAKE IT YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......1 OF THE BEST COVERS OF ALL TIME.......MUCH LUV N.H.......
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 you gonna have to come to Austin for now! We’re trying to get these two new albums out first and also it’s really dope sleeping in our beds at night and playing 4-5 nights a week here!
Best thing about music is Scarface can lay a gem decades ago and yet still great covers and interpretations can lead to more great music. That’s all we got in this life love and music baby ❤️ geto boys were one of the greatest musical groups to come together for what they did for hip hop and who they paved the way for. Guys like this play it from the soul. Each of these fellows have felt something to be able to make us feel this. All real ❤️🫶🏻💯
It's unbelievable what you did! Nobody did a better cover than you. Instrumentation, delivery, melody, breath control, passion, man you had everything, really everything 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🥺Damn y'all, you made me 😢.... that breakdown in the middle..😩 First I'm seeing you guys. BLESSS this algorithm.. Holy s**t... So GLAD I clicked. Spirit moved me. Damn guys. So excited to go check out your other stuff. I need you live IMMEDIATELY. IN MY SOUL. Goin THRU it right now. 🦾 Playing NYC anytime soon? 🙏It's been a LONG time since music moved this 45 year old like this.❤❤❤ All the best on your way to the top boys!!! 🙌🏻
You are EXACTLY RIGHT! It's too bad people don't get together anymore the way it should be. Old School was the Best School. Race doesn't matter ......if your good...your good. If your real...your real. If your a POS....... Get the hell outta here! I don't care what color your skin is! 💯💪
🤘🏾 Props on this cover great job !!! I’m 50 and grew up on the Ghetto Boys so glad to have had the opportunity to see them in concert as a kid growing up !!!
I love this sheeeeit! One of my favorite things is when someone does a cover in a different style, and it hits your ear's g-spot just right. When you recognize the song, it's like if you were traveling in a foreign land and you don't know any of the language. Then, out of nowhere, you hear someone speaking your language, and it's like you're best friends.
Got dang great job!!! Chet you guys welded shut this classic with that so cool & smooth irie vibe!! With these new ears hearing this song in this flow,, fellas you guys just opened up a new door! Song was hard in 1991 on the block at 12 years old ,now a hand away from 50 even more harder enjoin it this way knowing where it from,,hell I hear this at a bar finally
I've watched this video like 5 times in a row, and I still can't get enough of it. Seriously, best rendition of a song I've heard in a very long time. Ya'll need to get this version on Spotify, like STAT.
Im a Houston baby born in 1990 youngest of the 3! . Fucking love this, showing everyone i know. Sitting here after clean up from Beryl sipping a cold one. Thankful and enjoying the sunset!
Sometimes the algorithm truly drops a blessing on us. Wtf man I wanna show this to everybody I know
Aww thank you so so much!! Plz do! 🤣😛
💯
Me TOO!!!!!
You and I
Same. I'm like "I'll give it 5 seconds" but stayed for the the whole song. Well done Gentlemen! 👏
When the music you grew up with...grows up with you.
"I sit alone in my four cornered room staring at candles." "Oh that shit is on?" Forever a classic for me.
🤘🏼
One of the greatest lyrics in music history IMO.
If Bushwick were alive even he would approve of this. This was an absolute masterpiece!
For damn sure
I miss that music. These men threw a fastball at me. That's an insane cover. Top tier.
@@waynesmith8483 I miss real rap.

@@awmer83 You weren’t asking me, but “Crumblin Erb”!

Ever heard the Isaac Hayes song they sampled it from? Hung Up On My Baby. Check it out if not.
Pay attention, young bloods, this is how it's done!!!!! Deep, Classy, Dope, and Introspective!!!!

This rendition is so raw, real, soulful, gritty, and just what we need right now. Thank you for sharing your gift with the universe.
