- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- X-Clan established themselves as a vital force in the conscious era of hip hop in the early 1990's. Group members Professor X and Brother J wore articles of clothing and jewelry which payed homage to the indigenous tribes in Africa. X- Clan lyrics invoked Egyptian philosophies coupled with new age mystic teachings. "Fire & Earth" appears on X Clan's sophomore album "Xodus: The New Testament."
"I remember all the times you called me an animal, but in Milwaukee, there's a cannibal!" The illest dope rap line ever!

Aaaah yes 🔥🔥🔥
I never fully understood X Clan when I was young, but I now get everything they were trying to tell me then.
Too Crunk same here, I used to think these guys were hilarious compared to rakim n big daddy cane. Now I respect it tho.
Same.
Me too aswell
Same.
The purpose of dropping a seed. In time, it's watered and will grow.
We need more teachers like X Clan

💯💯💯
Back when hip hop had pride in the African culture
This is why they had to squash it with all that corporate gangster rap

Therefore thy got that class and hype back then but if you look now all this pioneers and revolutionists are now dead
@@Tonia682 it's actually that kind of rap that got me into hip hop but bac then in France I didn't understand the lyrics but I knew the message was about affirming the African heritage. And as a African growing up in France I had that image of so called blac Americans being proud of being African descent (even more than africans themselves). But this movement quickly was replaced by gangsta rap unfortunately
And is the reason it disappeared
Professor X is one of those rappers who can rap while not actually rapping

Lol facts
When Professor X the Overseer did it, I called it, "hypnotic conversation".😉
Poetry
Fo REAL !!
"BUT IN MILWAUKEE THERE'S A CANNIBAL." ONE OF THE ILLEST LYRICS WRITTEN..

cool
the X CLAN will always be legends in my book
StayGold PonyBoy
Mine too.
They got me interested in Egyptology.
Not just "legends" alone, but SERIOUS "knowledge layers". I was a teen when i was first introduced this & my family was mostly ProBlack Men TEACHINGS me (a female) lessons. Once I discovered "lessons put to music" in the 90's, I was FOREVER GRATEFUL!!! I'm grateful for every person that helped along my little journey. The only thing i would honestly STOP doing is remember I'm a woman, bit they get so they scream on us so loud & jump up in our faces. I'm strapped, but I also look at other bistanters like HELLO. ANYWAY GUYS, HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!
Miss educating music

@@williemclean7999 Triple facts💪
Vanglorious: This is protected by the Red, the Black and the Green with a key on the road again, Sissyyyyyyy!
And you don’t stop
Love Professor X's flow on this, really unique, rest in peace X the Overseer!
This is what hip hop sounds like !!
Lisa Reed FACTS!!
Lisa Reed YES Red black and green
RIP professor X
news to me. when did he passed
he passed away back in 2006 at 50 years old
damn he was young. thanks for the info
ctbadcop15 no chill
he was 49 but his anniversey of his death is 2morrow on the 17th
One of the most dopest groups in Hip-Hop...hands down!!🙌
Those esoteric symbolisms in the video are as powerful as the song. They were with the Maroon tribe in Jamaica who were liberated as soon as the slave ship docked there because the climate and terrain was so similar to where they came from they were able to take refuge and never were enslaved.
thanks for sharing bro I will research this topic, very deep!
Yea I gotta look this up
I'm a white boy from Arkansas and I shoplifted this CD because one of my black classmates wore an X-Clan t-shirt. I have been listening to rap and hip hop since 1981 and this is one of my favorite tracks ever.
CUT OUT "WHITE BOY"
CUT OUT "BLACK CLASSMATE."
I GOT THIS ALBUM BECAUSE IT WAS FIRE - SEE HOW MUCH BETTER THAT LOOKS?
I love their flow. Way ahead of their time.
Right
They wore some dope-ass outfits! I will always love these brothers.
RIP Grand Verbalizer.
I remember hearing this 1st on In Living Color. Funny how the Afro-centric movement somehow got replaced by Gangsta Rap...
Damn as true as that statement is it is overlooked by all the flash of modern hip hop.....very good point
Afrocentric Hip Hop was replaced by the Corporate Agenda .
gangsta rap was around then too,but nwa blew up and everybody tried to copy.No going back then.You gotta remember we had a lot of lanes a artist could go in back then.LL,Epmd,Heavy D,Public Enemy,Too Short, Ice T,saltnpepa,Boogie Down p. Now it's mostly gangsta,shame
not funny planned that way. This why we have to take our culture and masculinity back. Blk 1ST Hotep
that's the first time I heard it too. dope times
Brother J from X Clan was interviewed for the books named *HOW TO RAP* & *HOW TO RAP 2*.
This is one of his quotes inside those books:
"That inner voice of talent tells you where to lift your voice
up at and where to drop it and where to ride and bounce
and play at. That’s not a joke, that separates Gladys Knight
from “I sing well in the shower” - it’s two different worlds.
Someone who does it on that level... it’s like the heavens
come."
Rest In Peace goes out to SugaShaft.
I was about 11-12 years old when I started listening to X Clan on Video Music Box in NY and it had a very positive affect on me from then.
I don't know why the video edits out "I'm the one who cut Tarzan's vine, ran his ass out the jungle with his homeboy swine, one of those brothers that they just can't find and makes 'em shake and make 'em shiver when it comes night time yeah!". That's my favorite part.
+ReeseMac I think they had to cut that out because the video would have gone over 5 minutes. I think 5 minutes was the standard amount of time allowed for a video.
And then labeled it as UNCUT.
Mine Too!
That was on the remix
@@stickmanbw It wasn't a remix, just the full length version. The song was edited for the video (despite being labeled "unedited"). The full version is over six minutes long.
X Clan we need you now more than ever🎤
Filming a video among the descendents of Jamaican Maroons.
That's next level shit...from 1992.
thirdshift47 Islam
@@BearFacedTV no smh 🤦♂️
Its 2020, this still holds up
Oh indeed.
One of the best songs of all time in any genre.
I got to see X-Clan live a few years ago, It was wild. I felt privileged.
Yessirrrr I'm here today on this beautiful black 2021 morning..X-Clan forever man..yeah
*When we were kids "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"*
*Now as parents "Kids just don't* *understand this music"*
Lol...facts!
Been at least 20 years since I've heard this. Still an absolute banger.
That pink caddie imagery was perfection. Could u imagine if this group came out 2dey. Everybody's head would fall off including so called black leaders. Nuff Respect!!! ONE
SI- LINCE hahaa I would love if these brothers (any brothers) would come out like this today
+Zahid El they would never be allowed to see the light of day smh
+ChiGuy251 Luciferians hate this form of true expression...
this agenda was killed off ASAP. smh
NWA and downward spirals were promoted.
I KNOW ITZ HARD OUT HERE 2 DISPLAY UUR FEELINGS ON DIS SO CALLED SOCIAL MEDIA BUT EVEN THO U DON'T LEAVE A COMMENT I KNOW U AGREE TO A CERTAIN DEGREE WITH EVERYTHING/ALL IN THE LYRICS AND VISUALS IN THIS KLASS+SIKK... JUS IN UPDATE ON THIS BLAZE HIP HOP JAWN! MUCH LUV & RESPECT Y'ALL!
PEACE!
Who's still slapping in 2021?
This group embodies our struggles from the past to the future. One on my all time favorites.
This is one those jam. You find yourself going back to over and over again.
I just said the line "but in Milwaukee there's a cannibal" out loud to myself sitting here in quarantine. Still a killer track.
This is probably my favorite song by xclan so raw and suave and black!!!! Sisseeeeyyyy!!!!
Earth wind and fire 🔥 message behind this song
August 2019!! Still reppin the RED THE BLACK AND THE GREEENNNNN!!
This shit was hard
STILL SLAPPING THIS LOUD IN 2020! AND SO FORTH!!! 💯
"the one you fear, be scared you can't figger"
"a boom-bap with a pro-black slap"
Yo I was in love and in tune with hip-hop especially being from the Bronx but this track completely shifted of how I think and how to observe the closest shady and Brother J's voice and lyrics are massively underrated
Just hearing this joint again after 25yrs, this joint is a straight BANGER. Got my head nodding like Crazy. Who did their beats? Didnt get the credit they deserved
Red black and green don’t forget where you came from Rest in peace Professor X 2022? …………………………………………2023?🙏🏾
Why does this video only have 100,000 views.. this is crazy, X Clan was one of the best rap groups of the 1990's.
This video needs more views.
This is the type of music I grew up with... 20 years + It still brings me back here and stayed with me through out my youth...
To the east, my brother, to the east
William Mason Come One Come All
Dude's voice is so way out there... so eerily insane, yet fully competent and composed at the same damn time. Chilling.
I remember all the times that you called me a animal, but in Milwaukee there's a cannibal. One of most doppest lyrics ive heard thus far 100%
One of the greatest videos of all time!
this song and video is just unbelievable. I wish artists made music like this still.
It was so crazy how we could resonate with this as kids.
rip baba prof. x, paradise, sugar shaft. you are with our ancestors sittin on your thrown. ASÈ!

didn't krs reply with "overseer overseer officer"
wilfredo romero No. That was entirely different. That was directed at the Po Po.
Really? I didn't know that??
I miss those days ..rappers had pride and culture
WTF happened to this hip hop... How did we get to what we have today?
AGENDA
Fire .Brotha J flow was impeccable.
This reminds me of my fort green project days in the early 90's...copped this album back in the days in beat street record shop which was in downtown Brooklyn Fulton st
Lived down from fort green an worked
On Fulton
@@theettabell153 word me too...I was the 1 with the sign screaming Free phones Free phones
I'm still Pro-Black and it's 2024 I Luv X-Clan RIP to the brother PXO 👍💪✊❤❤❤🔥🔥
I was in college when this dropped! It's funny how quickly the "Pro Black" era of hip hop was shut down by the industry. Maybe a good 5 years? It was replaced by so-called "Gangsta rap " and drug dealing/gang banging/pimping type ignorance and remains to this day! These new artists are lost and spoon-fed that this is what hip hop really is...misguided minds! Hopefully there're some artists who'll get OUR MUSIC/HIP HOP back on the right path!
It's was a plan.they hi jacked it on purpose
I got this record I'm glad I grew up to this! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Both of these lyricist with the futuristic flows were way underated at the time and slept on...too much knowledge that average fan couldn't absorb it.
I used to bump this on the way school almost every mornin back in the day ...
I want this back now. Love this
As a 40ish white guy, bumping this in my ride is a little awkward in 2023, but the track still slams!
THIS IS HIP HOP IN ITS PUREST FORM..
I brought this "tape" when it came out 1990, I was 16, the biography of Malcolm X was required reading in my highschool and do the right thing was coming out. I'm revisiting this now bc It feels like so many lifetimes ago.
def a banger in so many ways!! however on a conscious & Lyrically level no record ever made is beating Professor X & Brother J message on this one. They went in deeper than Public Enemy!!!
I really feel for the youngsters of today and to think this was my childhood Growing Up This Is The Hip Hop I listen to as a kid
Before the Rainbow Flag took over Hiphop....That Base ball reference Was to 3rd Bass and the humanity reference was to Krs1 heal yourself video
Hell yeah, positive message 4 all people who seek justice...no one should feel excluded from enjoying songs like this.
peace to the GODS and EARTHS !
brothers are DEEP!
Facts.he was a good man.I met him in Harlem.making tracks 4 him.in 2004.he owned a nice brick building.mad apartments.he took people in.his bless him.miss you px...
X Clan were large back in the day. Standing up for the black family with pride & honour! Knowledge in abundance!
It has literally 20 plus years ago - a puerto rican kid in the BX watching yo MTV raps and hearing that song and being memorized bye Brother J’s line of - in Milwaukee there’s a cannibal. 🔥🔥🔥 in 2022
Brother J,if you are within eyeshot or earshot.... YOUR PEOPLE NEED YOUR WORDS!
I was late 20's early 30's when this came out.The X Clan are just as important now as they were then.And thnkx to Brother J for being one of the best and most educated (on African history) MC's ever. To The East Blackwards.....

I remember when I was in the third grade in 2006, by this time the song was really old, but when it came on rap city, the music video scared me, mainly because of Professor X and the blackface. Now that I'm older, I bumped the heck of this song lol 😁, Brotha J was spitting facts, and I love Professor X's flow in this song.
This was my shit growin up…. What am I sayin?! It still is!!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
We need back this kind of Concious HIP HOP !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They put the majority of us to sleep. The birth of ganster rapp
@@Cipherdagod ice cube was doing gangsta rap conscious

RESPECT TO THE X CLAN
One of the realest songs of the 90s. Brother J was dropping knowledge. RIP Professor X, still protected by the Red the Black and the Green
the best era of the culture
My second hip hop cassette I got was X Clans first Album. Just a Dope Group that totally assisted me in my love for my people.
Video Music Box days. I used to laugh at these guys and now I'm grown wishing hip hop would keep it half as real.
