I first heard this joint in the middle of summer, '95. It was 90 degrees in Manhattan. I was on vacation in N.Y. I went crazy when I heard this on the radio in our hotel room. I was 15yrs old at the time. Soon as I got back home from vacation, I ran to the local record store and bought the maxi single. I still have it til this day!
1995 i was 10 years old......I remember hearing this riding across the 145th Street Bridge in moms 1993 Ford Taurus Wagon. And also its a bad memory from high school...year: 2002. i got jumped and robbed for my Enyce shirt which had matched my brand new Air Jordan 17s (they didn't take those because they probably already robbed someone else for em because they had the same jordans on too). So after I ran home half naked I watched 106th and park and if im not mistaken there was a show afterwards that would play older rap videos. I remember hearing this and also nas street dreams.
i know meth n red go like 2+2, but was it a surprise that they went together on this song? i honestly ask, i wish i was there when they were in their prime

WOOOOOOO!!!! Those were my dudes in my 5th Grade days. When it came on in August 1995, I was getting close to graduated from Greenville Elem. in Baton Rouge and that song blast through my ears.

JSpekGooseKrew man Johnny is right, this is the original version and the remix is on Blackout!.. But aside from that, who really cares? we all here came to check this dope duo out
One of the best collab that I ever heard Method Man one of the top five rappers of all times Redman love you both no one did a song like that y'all flow together unbelievable
one of the greatest hip-hop duos. this track alone is one of the best ones they ever did together. the chemistry beetween them two. the way they both grooving along with the beat!!!!! Legendary!
If there is the Kevin Nash & Scott Hall of Hip Hop, it would be Method Man & Redman Both duos got a close brotherhood friendship. They can hold their own as individuals, but when they come together as a team, the chemistry is unstoppable
You know those few songs that come on when you listening to music, that no matter what mood you're in, you never change the song cause its just too dope? This is mos def one of them, no doubt in ma mind
@@spek-27 That's the problem, everyone today has looked under ROCKS & still can't find rappers good enough. The fact that Tupac said "rap is gonna devolve into mumble rap..." is proof enough. Even Snoop has criticized today's rap.
@@krypton7676 If you're on the internet, and you can't find good music, then you're just not looking at all. There's tons of new artists that are dope, and there's still a ton of artists from the 90's still making albums. Redman and Method Man are still making music. People who complain that music isn't good anymore don't know anything at all about music.
@@spek-27 I grew up on Redman & Method Man, I grew up on old school rap in the 80's & 90's. Unfortunately, when people talk about rap today, they're talking about contemporary new school rap.
@@krypton7676 You said "no one raps like this anymore". That's absolutely untrue, considering that both Method Man and Redman are still making music. And so are a lot of other rappers from 90's. I've been listening to hip hop since the 80's. Don't complain just because you don't know about new music, and only know about what's on the radio.
Redman was always one of the best mc's of all time man idc what anyone says hes a beast a legend method man will be in my top 20 so these dudes are both great but redman my top 5
Man this came out the summer 95 I was in summer school chasing credits to go to 10 grade, I listened to this every morning on the bus!!! Every morning!
I remember back in ‘02 I was 7 years old and my dad used to cruise around in his Infiniti j30 blasting this in DC all the time. I’d be in the front passenger seat feeling like we were breaking all the rules! Good times
Two talented solo artists merge into a rap duo. Normally rap groups break off and go solo. Funny thing is, we all felt they should collab with each before they even knew it.
jason borne you bugging out. you gotta be like 18 to say something like that. that bubble gum beat bullshit has you kids hypnotized by absolutely nothing

1995 was an epic year in hip hop. GZA, Raekwon and ODB dropped solo classics while Meth was still enjoying his Tical run. Mobb Deep told an gritty story of Queensbridge and 2Pac was against the world. AZ and Big L lived up to the hype, Goodie Mob provided the world with Soul Food, Biggie was King of New York and had Junior Mafia and veterans such as LL, Krs, and Kool G returned with dope albums
I was in love with them as a duo and as separate artists. And I loved this song. Listening to it now, it sounds like they were not seeing eye to eye with the record label, industry, critics and gatekeepers. This is such an eloquent, poetic, lethal ass way to air your grievances.
Man I wish I could go back to 1995. Nothing will ever compare to late 90s hip hop, NOTHING. Biggie, Wu-Tang, Nas, DMX, Foxy, Lil Kim, Bone Thugs, Tribe Called Quest etc etc etc

I wish I could have heard this track in its era at that exact point in time. The beat would be perfect for wandering Manhattan.
me the same! :-) Only difference it was Berlin, Germany and we had 25 degrees celsius.

This was a new york banger.
How Sick? So Sick that you can suck my ,,,,,," Classic HipHop!
Are you really a fan if you haven’t heard this banger in 2 decades
Man, Redman is just a straight up raw lyricist. His flow and delivery on this track is ferocious.
Raw to the floor, Raw like reservoir dogs
"The funk phenomenon I'm bombin' you like Lebanon Flow canals of Panama just off stamina ". That delivery right there...
Red man is fast
muddy waters is still one of my favorite albums
Darkside/Acid Redman was different. There's a Funk Flex Freestyle of Mef & Red doing Shook Ones from 95. They went... 🌌!.
Who's watching in 2024. This is real music 💯
I'm here 💯
Exactly Thank You 💯
Still hot 🥵 🔥🔥

Can we agree that this old school hip hop is all we need?
This is that real music chemistry you can't fake & you can't buy in a store. The day red and meth met was a great day indeed.
Anyone who appreciates real hip hop will know that this is actually one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time

One hell of a Duo nobody can replace Red and Meth they both crazy funny as hell
I was 16 when this came out. Man time flies. Still fire. Redman said how can you pay for your spot on the billboards. That is so true today.
I was 13. The soundtrack came out on my birthday
@@kenniet7125 it’s funny how this kind of rap is now considered underground rap. Storytelling is no longer mainstream.
I was 13
I listened to this song so many times on repeat. One of the best songs/collabs of any genre ever.
EVER
⚜️ MISS THESE DAYS ⚜️
This song was mad motivation while getting ready for school.

Andrés Asín Good lookin' out man! But couldn't agree with you more. Who cares? We all came here for these 2 dope MC's.
Best track of all time !!!! never get tired of it and bump it at least once a week for YEARS and YEARS ?
+Anton Zorin same. word

Probably the greatest hip hop collab joint every made. Two legends goin in like it ain’t no tomorrow! Straight flames!!!
One of the best hip hop songs ever... This version, the original, it don't matter the lyrics still shine thru
Man nothing can touch this song
Only thing that might is the clip from how high where they meet ...

Emontinal Weakness
Method man & Redman are hiphop legends definitely in my opinion one of my favorite duo’s of all time make today’s music look a shame 🔥
I remember when I was 16 and I first heard this on the radio.Meth and Red always been super slept on
what could they´ll been doing :)
This track will NEVER get old.
This is the hip hop that inspired me to rap back in the 8th grade. Til this day Red & Meth are still some of my all time favorite MCs🏆
I lost my mind when I first heard this. Still love it!! 💯💯💯
One of the greatest lyrical displays. Greatest Duo for sure
The way these 2 flows is unreal great memories also
I was 8 when this came out. It changed everything for me. The beat and everything I knew what my kind of music would be.
One of the best collab that I ever heard Method Man one of the top five rappers of all times Redman love you both no one did a song like that y'all flow together unbelievable
haven't stopped bumpin' This one since 7th grade. 1995 I believe.. good stuff right there.
what a coincidence i was in the 7th grade too in 1995 when they played this
27 years still hitting hard.
one of the greatest hip-hop duos. this track alone is one of the best ones they ever did together. the chemistry beetween them two. the way they both grooving along with the beat!!!!! Legendary!

I don’t even smoke and I still vibe with this song
Same Here Brother, Same Here
The truth. Me neither. When it is good music, you will vibe to it.
Wish music like this was around what happened to hip-hop? Classic rap makes you feel good
Remembering "The Show" watching all the Def Jam roster live. Man . Miss those days.
Back when collaborations was really dope and meant something for the culture
Watching how high a few weeks back was amazing these 2 have such electric chemistry God These 2 are certified fucking Legends

Working at a casino at night is a good way to hear which songs classic songs like this were sampled from
Which one
This is doper than almost 100% of the hip hop songs today.
When clothes was loose and rhymes were tight.
You ain't lying...
Nowadays clothes are tight and song quality is very loose. We had it soo good back then and didn't realize it.
I’ll say 65-70%…
