"Music video by Souls Of Mischief;Souls Of Mischief feat. Pep Love performing That's When Ya Lost. (C) 1993 RCA Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment"
Me! I only discovered this song with so many other 90's gems last year.........didn't search for these guys in the cd store back in the day.........I'm still finding new (old) classics now thanks to the internet.
You're so right my man. I have the same exact thought when listening to all the shit that I listen to, you know...that *_GOOD_* hip hop! No joke I have the same thing about their ages go through my mind verbatim when I'm bumpin young'ns like these young gentlemen. It may jus be because I, myself, am from the East but I personally am most impressed by Mobb Deep especially, but Nas is right up there as well. As everyone knows: Mobb's first album was a tad lackluster but "The Infamous"...?! Whew baby!!! "I'm only nineteen but my mind is older"!!! Seriously, I cannot stress it enough how friggin amazing that entire album was; such prolific poetry uttered from the mouth of mere babes...lol. In my humbleopinion, it truly beggars the imagination and blows the mind.
This was the most dangerous, hardest, most lyrical, eerie shit when it first came out. Also, I was in awe at Del's walkman - that was the expensive one. I could only afford the jumbo Sony yellow walkman back in the day. 🤣
This skater instantly remembers MikeCarrol and Plan b.. Souls of mischief and Del are still in this old mans skate session playlist.. Damn right I still skate. No more stairs t curb dancing 4 Eva4sure..
'93 in the 7th grade. I bought the "93' Til Infinity" album on cassette, cd, and on wax. Classic album and great example of what MC's (excuse me) a band of brother's who all can get down on the mic in their own individual styles and show lyrical prowess can do together. 24 years later and they're still together and they still rock the mic...God's been good to these dudes in ageing, wisdom, and it seems like they only get better rapping as they get older and I'm thankful that I grew up listening to a piece of hip-hop legend with the Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics crew.
@@shannettechow7096 wax or vinyl large usually black shaped like cds predates cassettes to a certain degree. some artists today still release limited editions of their albums as LP's or vinyl\wax.
I could not believe dudes from the West Coast were rapping like this back then. I loved these dudes. Dell the Funkee Homosapien opened the door, but these dudes kicked that shit down. 93 till Infinity is still one of my favorite songs of all time. That beat and their flow was *magical*
Right. Back in 91'-92', Del was already my favorite emcee. I got hooked on "Eye examination" and Dr. bombay. Fast forward to either to that spring or fall of 92' when That's when you lost came out on that blue tape. Like what a couple of others have said, that's when our lives changed. That shit was amazing smh. And then del dropped No need for alarm. Those couple of years were some of my best years regarding hip hop.
Preach. HIEROGLYPHICS/SOULS OF MISCHIEF are the best group ever, wordsmiths, Lyrical geniuses, and changed the way people rapped. The multi's, thought pattern, and rhyme scheme was something special. This is proof ua-cam.com/video/58a5fzh0tJo/v-deo.html says they are "RAPPERS RAPPERS" The world needs a JUICE CREW, WUTANG, HIEROGLYPHICS reunion/celebration of hip-hop!! Real hip hop. Those 3 crews arguably defined the golden age of hip hop. Hieroglyphics crew is best imo though. 93' Til Infinity, 3rd Eye Vision, and Trilogy.... Those 3 albums are better than any 3 and other crew can assemble. Add Full Circle and its a wrap. Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics flows were sacred writings.

I first heard this song on Stretch & Bobbito and was so happy that I was recording the show on A fresh cassette tape that night. I played this song so much on my Walkman. I listen to this to this day! "I know where you live there at your crib I got ni99as waiting". So fkn dope!
These cats were way ahead of their time. Their ensemble wordplay, beats and production were futuristic. While WuTang blew up The East Coast these dudes blew up Everything West of The Mississippi. Shit...They blew up NY and NJ too!
You have no idea how incredible it was to hear SOM back in 93 for the first time. I saw ATCQ, De La, and SOM in Dallas, TX Nov 93. I went to the after party and got to witness the legendary SOM freestyle circle! I met A-Plus and Opio after they finished spitting.
The drill's this: I kill swift I feels I better slay or, (hey my tape measures greater) So now I'm (askin') dips if they (saw me) and they was available would they want me to (nail'em all?)
Me too after Junior High School I used to do my homework and at 4:00 pm I watch rap city just to see that video classic reminisce I miss the 90 hip hop music 💯💯
The summer after second grade!!!! July 93!!!!! It came on Rap City. The West was killing shit. Not only did they have G-Funk n Mob shit, but they also had backpacker music and boom bap as well. Their range was wide as fuck, and that's why they we're winning at the time. These cats, Their guy Del, The Pharcyde, and Freestyle Society (I think their name was) are prime examples of how wide the West's horizons were. I could go on and on about the year 93 PERIOD, but I'll leave just saying that this was a important year for hip hop, ESPECIALLY West coast hip hop, and this album 93' til infinity (which was the first cassette that my parents approved of my Bros and me having with profanity) really gave people a perspective on how versatile the West was. Love to The Mighty SOULS OF MISCHIEF!!!! HIP HOP RULES!!!!! I SLAP THIS SHIT TIL THIS DAY!!!!!!
This came out during my junior year in high school. It just blew everyone's mind smh. Del was already my fav emcee, but this just sealed it. Heiro was one of the best crews at the time.
I met these dude outside a show at tinley park they came out to chill with the fans, a-plus dapper me and my brother up after we were telling him how legendary he is and the music they make is amazing. A freakin plus says so me and my brother hey man I’m just like you guys, I’m just a normal person who loves music like you! It was really really cool cuz it’s the first time I ever really thought about something like that so it was dope!! We smoked blunts and chilled outside that show for a hot minute till they got done loading the equipment and split. Then we went to the Milwaukee or Madison show I do t remember the very next day lmao 🤣
Yep dope brothers, had a similar story in '93 they were touring with Tribe and De La...after the set, we was kicking it with A+, and he almost got lleft...we was ready to give the God a ride to the hotel, they didn't leave him...all for one, one for all😅...Lincoln Ne. Yo I have a Black Moon story, also in Nebraska in 94, we kicked it with Buck, Steele, and Evil Dee in the V.I.P. another dope ass cru of brothers!
Diane V. I see you know a lot about that Hieroglyphics Crew. Saw your other comment for Casual “That’s when you lost” also. Hiero, is the illest crew of MCs ever. Much respect to you.

My brother and them did a show with these cats back in the day. This is when we had some hip hop on the innovative tip in California. Unique sound. really
This makes me think back to that year and how fkn great it was. I was 20 haha but loving life to a tee! And this classic album dropped and well yeah, great year!!
Hip hop needs to go back to this era! When people knew how to rap and make good music, Souls of Mischief, Gang Starr, Wu-Tang-Clan, Bone Thugs and Public Enemy were the best rap groups of the 90s
This had to be best era of hip hop!!!!!! Keep it real was not just a saying, it was a way of life. It was against hip hop law to jock another rapper's style. Now everybody look and act the same. I miss it when everybody had their own style. The 90s defines that moment and time of individuality within the hip hop community
The video edits are everything. Being born in 94 this was before my time but I can't resonate with modern rap. Watching this makes me feel like I'm back in time.. crazy as it sounds
This shit changed me and peeps perspective of west coast rap back in 93!!! Due to all the G- funk and laid back west coast shit we didnt thing the west had real lyricist until we heard this and almost lost it- (no pun intended)😀. Before this every cat from out there other than Cube and Rass Kass was'nt really spitting like that!!! I still fucks with these cats today - now my son who is 20 is listening to this - 23 yrs later- thank god we pull shit from the archives and give new life to it wth younger generations!!!!
Nice man. I didn't follow these guys till a friend turned me onto Deltron 3030 in about 06'. I'm 27 now and this the sound I gravitate too- that golden age hip hop. 88'-97' straight fire. I been getting into Big L lately even though he a NYC kid. RiP. Big L would have taken Jay Z podium had he not died shot buying his momma flowers. Big L, O.D.B, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Del the funkee and the whole Hieroglyphics crew > JayZ/lil wayne/Kendrick lamar/future and any rapper since the new millennium etc etc imo. Hip hop died with Ol dirty Bastard in a way. I'm just rambling on though. Ill stop. Glad your kids bumping the real hip hop.
Yup agreed! I grew up in the Bronx so you know back then I definitely wasn't trying to hear anything from the West coast. I hated the g-funk stuff, they admittedly had better production but I didn't care because the style of beats were wack but more importantly than any of that cats from the West just couldn't rhyme. Then I remember seeing a video from these guys and my brain exploded. Not only did they have lyrics but honestly as far as talent they were better than like 90% of cats back east and they had a sound that was different than the g funk stuff or what was being done on the east coast. I've always had alot of respect for these guys.
Most of the world looks to 93 Til as being monumental. But THIS is one oh the most important songs in my life. This was the first time I saw myself represented, a camera.
YOOOOO!!!! One of my absolute favorite tracks EVER!!! I still got my 12inch with the BLUE VINYL. That whole album was dope and is still in rotation in 2017!!
First day of the 11th grade in ‘92 my homeboy from English class knew most of Tajai’s verse. Damn I was jealous. Back then I couldn’t spit his verse for nothing.
My favorite group of all time Souls these men been slaying tracks since 93 & still doing they thang. A-Plus, Tajai, Opio, & Phesto. Hiero Heads " Oakland Blackouts "
Who remember this Era getting geared up was not a problem,Now you have to have A 800 dollar pair of shoes 500 dollar belt etc. Take me back to the 90s the 80s would even be better.
Grew up in Philly…got our gear from the army navy store…army cargo pants and a fresh pair of Patrick Ewing’s maybe a college hoodie and puffy woolrich vest amd those army wool hats with the brim…so urban
Who still watching / listening to this classic? ✋🏽
Me! I only discovered this song with so many other 90's gems last year.........didn't search for these guys in the cd store back in the day.........I'm still finding new (old) classics now thanks to the internet.

@@lebescarllebes129 Yes. Exactly what I was hearing!
throw the horn sample on top of it with that sick ass break.. one of the coldest instrumentals off the album.
This type of hip hop puts a smile on my face. These cats were 18-19 spitting lyrics!!!! There's no excuse for the bullshit out now.
Underrated comment!!!!! The best that I've seen in this whole spread, FACTS!!!!!
There is an excuse, it's called money.

They say West coast Hip hop ain't lyrical look at this it ain't nothing but pure lyricism.
Underground west coast was crazy lyrical!
but they were underground not the mainstream west coast
This was the most dangerous, hardest, most lyrical, eerie shit when it first came out. Also, I was in awe at Del's walkman - that was the expensive one. I could only afford the jumbo Sony yellow walkman back in the day. 🤣
This will forever be a classic.
They don’t make beats like this no more😭😭😭
Miss the 90's
One of the best hip-hop group of all time

This album changed my life. I had finally realised the true essence of hip hop and rap.
I remember buying The 93 til infinity and Doggy Style albums the same day.
Listening to it during lunch break in High school for me.

Del -No Need For Alarm came out the same day as Doggystyle the week of Thanksgiving. I was a Freshman at Howard. The Wiz on Geogia Ave had a long line out the door. Great day!!!
Since I bought those same albums, I'm guessing you bought them from Camalot record store.

One of the few groups and even clicks that are still together from that time.
Columbia 2 n 1 reversible Jacket and Gibaud Jeans! These cats were the shit in their day!
Freshness.
These days it's Versace, purely because it's an expensive brand
I had both 😉
They need to make these again 🤦🏻♂️🔥
You hear them flows...this is real hip hop born in the Bay...this should have millions of views.
This is the first time I've heard this joint and it is smacking. I cant imagine how hype this must have been when it actually dropped back in 93!
it was dope back then I remember when I saw the video on TV I was sick!!!! they were my new favorite group instantly!
used to watch this video on rap city back in the day this video would get me so hyped when it would come on
your just ols, this is still good today when you hear it for the first time, you sound like a degraded grandfather jesus
You have no idea how incredible it was to hear SOM back in 93 for the first time.

Innocence aka originality..Those were fun times...Trends were set and made.
KiloCharlieOne I don't know about the innocence. The opening line was "I love to smash McS in the face" 😆 but it was a great era for hip hop
@R B
It actually starts with
"I find it fun to smash MCs into fine bits"

I feels I better slay or, (hey
my tape measures greater)
So now I'm (askin') dips if they (saw me)
and they was available
would they want me to (nail'em all?)
Meanwhile DMX was talking about raping a daughter
This deserves more recognition
The beat is crazy

Jauwon Wilder In my opinion, A Plus killed it
@@rrodriguez9559 BS. Phesto buried him and everyone else on this track. A Plus was last best on this track.

Phesto murdered this. We don’t have to make believe
that bay area sound. Blowin it up back in the day
Incredible in 2021

Forever lasting music! Pep Love don’t get enough credit for his work 😤🔥🤞🏾
The entire group was so sick with their own style. This is that real hip hop with top tier MC's.
Bars are tight. Internal & middle rhyming. I call it rhyme within rhyme. DAMN! Much creativity goes into lyrics like this and in any great rap song.
People in the 90s were living in the best decade ever and didn’t realize it‼️💯
I totally want to see em today. They still have one of the best albums. It'd just be cool.
wow rap city. 93 came home from school and watching this video memories
Me too after Junior High School I used to do my homework and at 4:00 pm I watch rap city just to see that video classic reminisce I miss the 90 hip hop music 💯💯
The summer after second grade!!!! July 93!!!!! It came on Rap City. The West was killing shit. Not only did they have G-Funk n Mob shit, but they also had backpacker music and boom bap as well. Their range was wide as fuck, and that's why they we're winning at the time. These cats, Their guy Del, The Pharcyde, and Freestyle Society (I think their name was) are prime examples of how wide the West's horizons were. I could go on and on about the year 93 PERIOD, but I'll leave just saying that this was a important year for hip hop, ESPECIALLY West coast hip hop, and this album 93' til infinity (which was the first cassette that my parents approved of my Bros and me having with profanity) really gave people a perspective on how versatile the West was. Love to The Mighty SOULS OF MISCHIEF!!!! HIP HOP RULES!!!!! I SLAP THIS SHIT TIL THIS DAY!!!!!!
Rap City played that real shyt.
@@antoniogoode4407hell yes
I still bump 93 till infinity!
james nevitt all day
Every day g
Here you go listen to it one more time
This group was just as dope as Wu Tang, Bone, or any top group of the 90's
Raise your glass if you love MUMBLE FREE MUSIC!!!
One of the best beats and raps in hiphop period
If this song doesn't jog your memories to when hip-hop was Alive, then you yourself are dead. This was my favorite jam back in the early 90's. Respect
I love this era of hip hop, glad I came up with this in my ears!
The first video i saw on rap city visiting florida in 93....still stands the test of time
This came out during my junior year in high school. It just blew everyone's mind smh. Del was already my fav emcee, but this just sealed it. Heiro was one of the best crews at the time.
I was a senior and I wholeheartedly concur, friend.
The Girbuads...... with the columbia!!
I met these dude outside a show at tinley park they came out to chill with the fans, a-plus dapper me and my brother up after we were telling him how legendary he is and the music they make is amazing. A freakin plus says so me and my brother hey man I’m just like you guys, I’m just a normal person who loves music like you! It was really really cool cuz it’s the first time I ever really thought about something like that so it was dope!! We smoked blunts and chilled outside that show for a hot minute till they got done loading the equipment and split. Then we went to the Milwaukee or Madison show I do t remember the very next day lmao 🤣
Yep dope brothers, had a similar story in '93 they were touring with Tribe and De La...after the set, we was kicking it with A+, and he almost got lleft...we was ready to give the God a ride to the hotel, they didn't leave him...all for one, one for all😅...Lincoln Ne. Yo I have a Black Moon story, also in Nebraska in 94, we kicked it with Buck, Steele, and Evil Dee in the V.I.P. another dope ass cru of brothers!
They all murdered this ish. But Phesto buried everyone on this track. This song is hard af without being gangsta.
Diane V. I see you know a lot about that Hieroglyphics Crew. Saw your other comment for Casual “That’s when you lost” also. Hiero, is the illest crew of MCs ever. Much respect to you.
Yep!!
@@madehumble that's how it is you mean.
HIEROGLYPHICS/SOULS OF MISCHIEF are the best group ever, wordsmiths, Lyrical geniuses, and changed the way people rapped. The multi's, thought pattern, and rhyme scheme was something special. This is proof ua-cam.com/video/58a5fzh0tJo/v-deo.html says they are "RAPPERS RAPPERS"
The world needs a JUICE CREW, WUTANG, HIEROGLYPHICS reunion/celebration of hip-hop!! Real hip hop. Those 3 crews arguably defined the golden age of hip hop.
Hieroglyphics crew is best imo though. 93' Til Infinity, 3rd Eye Vision, and Trilogy.... Those 3 albums are better than any 3 and other crew can assemble. Add Full Circle and its a wrap.
Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics flows were sacred writings. Thats what Hieroglyphics means: sacred writings.

And that's only 5 of my fav tracks of their.... they have DOZENS of songs better than most rappers/crews BEST.
Absolute facts!!! #PhesDelta
It's hard to pick the best when they ALL are dope af...
The most HUGE chorus mix in ever recorded anywhere.
My brother and them did a show with these cats back in the day. This is when we had some hip hop on the innovative tip in California. Unique sound. really
straight Syndicate
Man these boys were so raw damn the shit literally crazy how good they music is and the sound from the west coast 🔥🔥🔥❗️
This makes me think back to that year and how fkn great it was. I was 20 haha but loving life to a tee! And this classic album dropped and well yeah, great year!!
the golden era of hip hop.
Hip hop needs to go back to this era! When people knew how to rap and make good music, Souls of Mischief, Gang Starr, Wu-Tang-Clan, Bone Thugs and Public Enemy were the best rap groups of the 90s
This had to be best era of hip hop!!!!!! Keep it real was not just a saying, it was a way of life. It was against hip hop law to jock another rapper's style. Now everybody look and act the same. I miss it when everybody had their own style. The 90s defines that moment and time of individuality within the hip hop community
The video edits are everything. Being born in 94 this was before my time but I can't resonate with modern rap. Watching this makes me feel like I'm back in time.. crazy as it sounds
This shit changed me and peeps perspective of west coast rap back in 93!!! Due to all the G- funk and laid back west coast shit we didnt thing the west had real lyricist until we heard this and almost lost it- (no pun intended)😀. Before this every cat from out there other than Cube and Rass Kass was'nt really spitting like that!!! I still fucks with these cats today - now my son who is 20 is listening to this - 23 yrs later- thank god we pull shit from the archives and give new life to it wth younger generations!!!!
Nice man. I didn't follow these guys till a friend turned me onto Deltron 3030 in about 06'. I'm 27 now and this the sound I gravitate too- that golden age hip hop. 88'-97' straight fire. I been getting into Big L lately even though he a NYC kid. RiP. Big L would have taken Jay Z podium had he not died shot buying his momma flowers. Big L, O.D.B, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Del the funkee and the whole Hieroglyphics crew > JayZ/lil wayne/Kendrick lamar/future and any rapper since the new millennium etc etc imo. Hip hop died with Ol dirty Bastard in a way. I'm just rambling on though. Ill stop. Glad your kids bumping the real hip hop.
Yup agreed! I grew up in the Bronx so you know back then I definitely wasn't trying to hear anything from the West coast. I hated the g-funk stuff, they admittedly had better production but I didn't care because the style of beats were wack but more importantly than any of that cats from the West just couldn't rhyme. Then I remember seeing a video from these guys and my brain exploded. Not only did they have lyrics but honestly as far as talent they were better than like 90% of cats back east and they had a sound that was different than the g funk stuff or what was being done on the east coast. I've always had alot of respect for these guys.
I agree.I thought that they were from New York until I bought the album
I have listened thoroughly to everyone you mentioned, but Kendrick isn't bad at all (believe it or not, I'm not a DAMN dickrider).
Also... RIP P
Alkoholiks? King Tee? Capital Tax?
Sleeping on this track? THAT'S WHEN U LOST
Once again…i can say this is one of the top songs ever!!!! This changed lives kid!! ! 💯
Soul Of Mischief Forever 💯🔥🎤🎧🎤💯
Damn yo we had the Best era of music THE 90S WAS LEGENDARY.
80s 90s were the best ears in hip hop, rap, rock, metall and whatever else... I miss the good music nowadays..
Graduated high school in 93 this was blasting at our Graduation. Dope years yooooo
Same here, friend.
😎
One of the greatest debut albums by one of the most underrated (commercially) crews in rap history.
I met these brothers. They're Dope. One of the best jams of all time.👍🏽
90s hip-hop 90s rock 90s metal was the real music
seems like every genre peeked in the 90s.. all downhill after that, sadly..
Yo! 30 years later and I had no idea there was a video for this song!
This is pure hip hop!
Most of the world looks to 93 Til as being monumental. But THIS is one oh the most important songs in my life. This was the first time I saw myself represented, a camera.
the definition of a bass line drop.
can't believe theres only 12 thousand views. And I have watched this music video at least 10 times.
Wow another banger. I’m in LOVE this is the 90s hip hop I’ve been cravviiinngggggg
My favorite hip hop group from the 90's 🔥
YOOOOO!!!! One of my absolute favorite tracks EVER!!! I still got my 12inch with the BLUE VINYL. That whole album was dope and is still in rotation in 2017!!
30 years and still going strong
Legends!
No Doubt .
When hip hop was real music and had real words
Right. That blue single was legendary.
When Hip Hop was actually Art. RAP= Rhythm And Poetry.
First day of the 11th grade in ‘92 my homeboy from English class knew most of Tajai’s verse. Damn I was jealous. Back then I couldn’t spit his verse for nothing.
When this dropped we knew these boys were not to be played with. I wrote so many raps to this beat out in Queens. This and never no more too
I'm from California, much love to NY
Pure hip hop, unsurpassed lyrical ingenuity. Bring back tha golden era 🙏🏾🎅🏿
Just saw em in Raleigh tonight. Fucking kick ass show.30 years later and that shit still slaps as hard as a pissed off pimp.
Saw Souls of Mischief in Nevada City Ca! Shit was awesome !
My favorite group of all time Souls these men been slaying tracks since 93 & still doing they thang. A-Plus, Tajai, Opio, & Phesto. Hiero Heads " Oakland Blackouts "
Who remember this Era getting geared up was not a problem,Now you have to have A 800 dollar pair of shoes 500 dollar belt etc. Take me back to the 90s the 80s would even be better.
Grew up in Philly…got our gear from the army navy store…army cargo pants and a fresh pair of Patrick Ewing’s maybe a college hoodie and puffy woolrich vest amd those army wool hats with the brim…so urban
Oh yeah last year of high school when this came out what a time it was.
damn these guys were one of my favorites along with del the funkee homosapien, kurious george, etc. nothing better than early 90s hip hop.
Parents would send me to some summer camp so they could do their thing and I thank them because was introduced to the Souls.
I remember being mind blown at their rhyme style back then. Like no-fucking-body was spitting like these dudes were at the time. 🎤🔥🔥🔥
That come in!!
