Hip Hop started at a dance party, you still trying to argue whats "Real" vs "Fake" in 2019 ? Hip Hop has countless styles and forms, no need to divide one against the other

The greatness of tracks like that is just unbelievable.. Damn I miss these times.... They vanish more and more....with each day... It's hard to take that MY beloved music, the artists, this style of production, the deep lyrics....is just gone... And I lose hope that it'll ever have a comeback.
I remember my boy turned pastor M. He gave me a bag full of tapes. My favorite were SB2 & Prince Paul A Prince among Thieves. I still listen to Pain & 1-9-99. Da son don't chill☀️
Common ras kass Talib Pharoahe Sadat x hi tek all rocking out at da end of da video. Watched dis video for 20 + years an only jus clocked dis legendaryness lol 😎.
damn this track get me a little emotional... 99 was such a good year, there was so many great albums out... while society was all nervous because of the new millenium hip hop was drioppin great music and I was hitting alot of shows with my homies... good times-this track took me right back to that simpler time.
John Doe this comment just about made me shed a tear.. 1999 was the year that I graduated and I still remember this song playing on the And1 mixtape.. I miss those simpler times.. if only I could go back to them....
A rainy cold January 2023 and I’m self employed only just making it through on Universal Credit in the UK and blasting this 90s gem in my small flat 👍🔥
You can feel it when you hear real hip hop music. This is the essence and it’s undeniable
Who’s still I listening to this joint 2020?
"Classic Material Circa 99".
Yo I can't believe they actually edited the original upload and now this is censored. REALLY takes away the urban/protest vibes.
21 from the D gotta get mine 🤙🏾
Until infinity
Real talk
This is one of the sickest beats in hiphop history!
⭕️•H
wrong ...."MillkBone - keep it real" is the greatest beat of all time
Both are amazing instrumentals
I would have to agree

Forever.
Broooo I remember buying this in kmart for 19.99 (didn't even notice the price same as song) bought this and kept it in my skipping ass cd player!
I miss that era!!! A lot of L’s & 40’s!!! Skateboarding, snowboarding, adrenaline junky
☝🏽999
Me ......still 🔥
"Some get range rovers some religion change over , angel on my shoulder telling me to remain sober" what a line common is real
azzy1000able "Toby nigga, game over... ain't no payola in freestyle... in battles, I'm warrin' (Warren) like a G child, searching for the child in me"
Damn
Common is a poet.

That’s big, a lot of people don’t know that
He lives forever on this track
Larger than life
RIP

“Hold the mic like a memory” any true hip hop fan will know that line.
Before that bar he said “ i shine in spaces where time is just a glare” common is not human.. 🔥🔥🔥
( Common Sense rap verse ) "These record companies, I don't like when I see them"
Common's flow is So Chicago!... I love how much he represents... This is one of my all time favorite tracks.
Nothin touches real Hip Hop, love that.
Sound Mathematics this is not real hiphop this is hiphop anything else is just pop
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest HipHop tracks made! This is a Tri-fecta of real HipHop!
Sadat X too damn slept on
It's like no one can ever duplicate his voice and cadence.
@desertdetroiter me neither
@@Stanlayy-em4fk grand puba
The brother Derrick x kicks flavaa

Rest in peace Harold Hunter from the movie Kids.
You can just feel the realness.

Back in the 90's. Where people would bob they're heads to mainstream. When mainstream was awesome .
That opening scene. We need more brothers helping each other up.
This song was wayyy before its time, lyrically this is up there with the best raps of all time and that beat, mannnn listen!
Every since I heard this on the And1 Streetball VHS Mixtape, I been on it! 20yrs later, maaaaaaaaaaaan what a feelin! Still get the same vibes

The concept of this video sends CHILLS through my anatomy........
The thought of how it "COULD'VE" been and how it "SHOULD BE" is POWERFUL!
This is so Hip Hop I actually feel emotional listening to it🔥 goosebumps
Rest peacefully

@@oblivion_007 Oh, I have no idea. I need to research that.

I saw the whole crew performed this Dope as Joint at the Lyricist Lounge up in Manhattan NY during the time.
It was an amazing night of performance with energy.
And the crowd was Lit!
This beat man to this day grabs me
this is my funeral song.... I can't stop listening.... and I got 39 yrs
Classic fire... Even in 2018!!🔥🔥
Common top 5 M.C of all time
Easily
Boom bap and lyrics. You need this in your life
Who’s here in 2020? Real hip hop is still alive, I promise.
Man I miss this so much....banging beats and samples, with hard hitting lyrics and food for thought all at the same time
This beat sound in my head since i was a child.....daaaammmm...beatifull...
Common is fire. Damn.

Happy birthday Common!! The God Mc, The Revolutionary and one of the Greatest MC's ever to touch a Mic!!
Still....in 2024❤
The greatness of tracks like that is just unbelievable..
Damn I miss these times....
They vanish more and more....with each day...
It's hard to take that MY beloved music, the artists, this style of production, the deep lyrics....is just gone...
And I lose hope that it'll ever have a comeback.
Saw them perform this live at The Palladium in Worcester MA in 1-9-9-9
never stop hearing.
I miss the 90s, man... that aesthetic was so dope back then, the beats, the gear, the slang... the culture was so live back then...
Harold Hunter RIP. Always remember chillin at big boy after the skate comp. That's one real conversation from my teens past down to the seeds!
I was a Jr in high school when this joint came out. Man how I wish I could go back !
This album!! All I got, just dope collection of emcee barring the game up. Salute!
This song is a classic piece of work
Uploaded almost 11 years ago and so few views. I don't get it, this is a classic song.
They don't know to even look for it. Hip hop is lost on this generation.
Probably because it was encoded with a fucking potato..
just like his looks common's music never ages or gets old !!
Who still bumpin 2021?
Me. Down the Rawkus rabbit hole right now
22
Favorite song of all time. 1999. Check it, it’s like I’m fightin for freedom!
