Yeah, it's a big shame he didn't get the recognition he deserved after making over 40 songs for our ears. Truly did deserve more respect than he got and more fame than he possessed. RIP King Of MC, Fat Funk Flav, and his various other name, but the most recognizable one, Craig Mack
No 20 girls dancing around, no fur coats, no fancy cars, just pure raw hip hop talent. This is the hip hop i remember back in the day. The golden age of hip hop is sorely missed.
"Craig Mack, one thousand degrees You'll be on your knees, and you'll be burnin', beggin' please Brother, freeze, this man's undisputed In deep rooted funk smoke that leaves your brains booted!" Still one of the coldest bars ever spit 💯 🔥🔥🔥
Fuck daddy or P Diddy or whatever else he calls himself. 2024 and beyond we'll all see just served for all the disrespect he dished out too all who brought him fame. S.I.P Craig Mack.
RIP Mack. Dude had crazy flow. Nobody sounds like him. The Mack put BadBoy on the map. Anybody who still likes him needs to check out his third album. Good stuff there.
You have to appreciate that Era that allowed talent to supercede visual appearance. No one gave 2 💩's what Craig looked like. Craig just did his thing and it was magic ✨️
Its a shame what no talent Puff Daddy did to this talented artiste. Rest in peace Craig Mac. The world will never forget the injustice he was dealt by this evil corporation.
This will always be New York's Anthem and fifty years from now this track will still be hot. Craig Mack was an amazing MC for those of you saying he was a one hit wonder. He has plenty of other great songs unfortunately he was black listed by the industry for not selling out. The Industry wanted him to talk about murder, gangs and dying well we see what happened to those MC who did. What comes out of your mouth will not come back to you empty. Craig new the power of words and chose God first.To a man who never compromised his beliefs. Rest easy Soldier 🙏
Well said. I can still remember the first time I heard this song after coming home late one night all tore up and turning on yo MTV raps (those were the days...) and it came on as a new premier video. I turned it up so loud as soon as that beat hit that my neighbors were yelling at me! Had the album within the next week. Not a bad rhyme on it. The man had crazy talent for sure!
Beside his incredible flow, impeccable rhymes and just his general swagger, i find it impressive that he doesn’t cuss at all. It just feels weird- and refreshing- to hear something like this.
Well, this version was slightly scrubbed, but it doesn't matter. he didn't go mad cussin' and the general gist is the extremely original pop and incredible flow. "Young'N was a Riff-Smith... without the Wesson, Titanically Talented---Iceberged, we learned a lesson." One of the Greatest of All-Time in my estimation.
I ain't talking about who's flow is better jesus christ craig mack's flow is different. His hottest song is called Flava in ya ear (New Flava) wonder why. Because his flow hit different it came out, his song launched bad boy records and also is the reason why diddy was given a distruvution deal with arista records by Clive Davis. So yes there are similar rappers but not same rappers like him.
Felix Diaz he had more hits than just this ... UA-cam him properly. This song was the first hit on bad boy and helped lead the path for Biggie so he still gets legendary status
This song legit changed my life. Idk if that's for better or worse yet but it definitely happened. This man is a fucking legend. His voice is funk incarnate.
@@an7h8ny50 a boomer wouldn't know this song. If you're going to diss a generation then know the music of that generation. This song was popular when gen x was in their late teens
Pure,unadulterated and unequivocal fact….The hugest hip-hop song of ‘94 with its revolutionary and timeless production/vocals…What a time to be alive✅‼️
juanalmzn. Hey Juan Craig Mack Is Going To Be in Heaven cause he repented and gave his life to JESUS CHRIST. I feel sorry for the other guy unfortunately he didn't😢😔.
The sample and the beat.... this song ( if you are a hip hop purist) will never die. Goosebumps pop up every time I hear this song come on. Remember the night I first saw it on BET years ago before going to the club. Was so mesmerized by the song I was late for my ride !
I remember watching this on Yo! MTV raps when I was 13 years old. Time flies. People die. Young or old, it's never foretold. Find what makes you happy. Do all the things that are fun. Because one day, good turns to crappy and in a blink of an eye, your time is done.
People always forget who planted the seed for Bad Boy. It wasn't B.I.G, it was Craig Mack then B.I.G.
Both albums released basically at the same time though
But this song was the first song that bad boy released
Biggie was jealous 😂 craig macks album went number 6 on billboard and biggies went 15

Real rap does not need gimmicks.
You mean hip-pop? People complained about it back then.
every rapper you see from 2009 is compromised in the anus. Even if they were not there name has been forever tarnished.
only rappers like this are safe
That part!@
RIP Mack, one of the sickest hip hop songs of all time.
That FLOW was untouchable
Keep telling my niggas the same thing...
Absolutely
🔥🔥
This guy doesn't get enough credit for his flow. It's fantastically catchy man....
Puff chose to ride Biggie's success when RTD dropped. Mack didn't get his fair shake. RIP ✝️
Craig Mack and Group Home are underrated as hell, criminally underrated actually!

Mack had bars back in 94! Good to see bad boy finally uploaded the music vid for the OG version.
Sad how these original verses got overshadowed by the star power they put on the remix. The verses in the remix aren't even that good tbh.
R.I.P. Mack! Rock on!
I used to listen to this when I was 88, and now I am 19. This will forever be a classic

Word...
Beside his incredible flow, impeccable rhymes and just his general swagger, i find it impressive that he doesn’t cuss at all. It just feels weird- and refreshing- to hear something like this.
Naw naw hell naw
He was dope!
Well, this version was slightly scrubbed, but it doesn't matter. he didn't go mad cussin' and the general gist is the extremely original pop and incredible flow.

@@andrejackson8249 I think the only word removed here is slit. Which isn't even a swear word.
IMO, when a rapper can hit THAT hard without ONE cus word or n-word, THAT'S TALENT! RIP, Mack. STILL 1000 Degrees!
I've always liked his hand movement.
I wanna say this sounds kinda gay but outta respect and because he do be vibin i aint, rock on man

I tell you classics like this when they come on, it is not a crime if you don't dance to it..... just absorb it.
Damn we lost a lot of legends and Craig Mack was on of them.
No he was a one hit wonder
He wasnt even mentioned till now
Inyourownleague Better than them i kno but if he was a legend then he woulda took off without diddy
Felix Diaz I sorry but WHO the fuck are you. I don't believe I EVER heard of you
Felix Diaz he had more hits than just this ... UA-cam him properly. This song was the first hit on bad boy and helped lead the path for Biggie so he still gets legendary status
Just heard he passed away at age 46......too young....RIP Craig Mack
56?
He was only 46.
He was 47
The tone of Craig Mack's voice is superb. It's just pleasing to the ear to hear him rap. RIP CM.
