Back when Hip Hop was an actual culture and not just a marketing term. The early 1990s were groundbreaking: Hip Hop was at its creative peak and Rock had an Alternative rebirth.
This song marks the last days of housin, taggin and rackin bein cool. Los Angeles. 1991-1995. Best Years for hip-hop music and culture. Club Nouveau. Toe Jam. Glam Slam. World on Wheels. The Shaw after Venice Beach. We did it.
i love this shit whenever this song would come on rap city i always stopped what i was doing to watch this, damn ya'll remember when BET used to be worth watching Teen Summit, Rap City, Donnie Simpson, Carribean Rhythms, theres a lot of other stuff that i'm forgetting but the point is BET was phat for a long time and i don't know what's happened since then
55yr old "old head" here.... You stated straight facts bro. My go to for that "unda-ground" was Video Vibrations in early afternoon with faceless VJ... and Video LP... Looked like all the videos were low budget, shot with personal cameras, in someone's hood or living room....
Seen these dudes in concert many times in the 90'z. Amazing musicians with a little dystopian tragedy intertwined in fate. Still slappin in 2020!! The good never die!
I remember when I bought this album in 1996, I didn't give anything away, I thought it wasn't good, when I got home I went to listen to it and saw that it was a really great album, I still have it here to this day, 2024, listening to it.🎧
I feel ya bro I’m 40 and definitely consider myself a “old sk00l raphead. “The Nonce” møst definitely came hard asf with dis one ☝🏾right here!! In the process of creating my new mixtape in years due to my chronic illness😷 affecting my healthy lifestyle. But the “re-incørpøratin” this throwback joint to some new flavor!! In due time🙅🏾♂️🚫🧢💯💯
We bumped this in Flint during the early 90s. Heard it from someone who knew someone who was from California. They knew about Flint because of Tupac, in Oakland at the time, hooked up with Breed from Flint. Cool exchange of music that day.
fuck the UK I'm from Ireland and grew up in LA and if you think we give a fuck about what you colonizing Britts think you don't know shit. and please name a rapper of yours we listen too, or who we quote over here?
"it might sound wack, but it was dope at the time"🔥👀....much luv to The Nonce... r.i.p Yusuf..r.i.p Ganja k...J Sumbi produced Dolla Holla beautiful day song...watts life
Underrated jam from the Golden Era!! Me and the fellas always acknowledge how lucky we were to come up during this time. Maybe I'm just getting old but it seems like the art form has totally been lost on this new generation. Yup, probably just gettin old...."c'mon Dick, these kids didn't change...you did."
back then i sold mixtapes too. made dubs of ron g and dj double r (Harlem stand up) at home and sold them to my friends for a couple bucks. use that $ to cop trey bags...good ole days lol. love this jawn btw
These guys also performed under the aliases slot badger, two pin din plug, bush dodger, small bean regarder, unabummer, nut administrator, bent ref, fence foal, chimney bottler, bunty man and shrub rocketeer.
2024. One of the purest hip hop songs ever made. The few of us who know, KNOW.
straight up! 👊🏻🏆🙏🏻✌🏻
Word. East Syracuse 79 - 96
The Nonce may be forgotten but the real old school heads will love this song forever . RIP Yosuf. We bump your music in 2017
2020 bro fo life

Hip hop back when individuality mattered...I'm just glad I can remember it
This song marks the last days of housin, taggin and rackin bein cool.
Los Angeles. 1991-1995. Best Years for hip-hop music and culture.

We were doing the same thing in SF
R.I.P Yusuf Afloat...
If you was really into HipHop back in the 90s, you didn’t care where rappers were from. Dope music was dope music, period. And this shit was dope💯
Exactly. And I'm from Chicago. I still have this album on cassette
Daamn, used to blast this in my car back in high school in the 90s. ... Now I'm blasting it on my Tv, jamming in my wheel chair. Thanks.
Was singing hook to my kids. Had to go looking for the whole song. Bomb-ass post. One love.
"I used to rock them tapes"
The Nonce is good for kids.

The Nonce. My favorite,
I had this on a mix tape back in the day, then it was in my attic for ages, now I got a car with a tape deck and love to rock them ol mix tapes!
When mixtapes were really Tapes and not cd's
How am I just hearing this in 2021? Sick track. That hook is unforgettable.
The Nonce foreva
This was a 1995 banger
Purest form of HIP HOP!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥…. I’ve had this song on repeat for a hour straight!!!!!!!
They should try and break into the UK market.

If Ralf Harris can make it, so can this bloke. 👍
mid 90's was an excellent era for undrgrnd hip hop, opened alot o doors for a lot of people and 1 of them great songs back then kids was this jam.
I remember when I bought this album in 1996, I didn't give anything away, I thought it wasn't good, when I got home I went to listen to it and saw that it was a really great album, I still have it here to this day, 2024, listening to it.🎧

purple kisses a nonce is slang for Paedophiles and sex offenders.
