I remember when this came out, I was moving from USA to Canada. and when I got up north, no one heard of this track... it wasn't until 06 I heard it again.... what a classic, it put me on to Alc (one of if not THE best producer imo)and even Prodigy (RIP).
I was probably the only one up here in Canada buying his cd the 1st Infantry I got into him cuz I loved mixing instrumentals and accapellas on virtual dj lol way back
Alchemist and Scott Storch produce real hip hop, this beat touches my soul, I wouldn't freestyle over this beat, that's how much respect I have for this beat, I listen and feel.
If you do freestyle. It has to be true to the culture and actually be a true freestyle. Nothing written. And it's imperative that you flame this s#!t. I mean really lose yourself and go in, make people remember it... That's how you show respect...
when this fist dropped me and my boys would beat box this beat to freestyle to... I miss those days. I haven’t freestyled in over a decade. It’s Amazing how things that were once so integral to your life can fall by the wayside with time... kind of depressing if you think about it for too long. I guess that comes with the territory when you reminisce.
Wow I been looking for this and forgot what it was called man late 90s/early 2000s childhood right here!!!! Never know knew it was freaking Alchemist and he still killing it out here
This word is too much used, the real underrated ones are the ones who have only 500 viewers/listeners or less (if i’d hit 500 people with my art I would be happy tho but you understand what I’m saying)
trust me when jay-z said too much west coast dick licking. that was the end of the beef. the end of production from them to him. and the end of everything. listen to reasonable doubt 1995. i was born in 93

Dick Head i think part of the reason he may have seemed slow was because most of them were high out of their minds. If you think Action Bronson or the other dude that was smoking seemed more intelligent than him then you're crazy lmao
Because we got pride with our own race. We're just the only race that isn't allowed to say it publicly without being called racists. So we find other ways to show our pride. #MISTA808

The alchemist is my favorite producer by far. & I’m from Memphis where we got an entirely different sound.
The fact the original sample doesn’t even say “down” is crazy
Modulation he tweaked it
Wow I been looking for this and forgot what it was called man late 90s/early 2000s childhood right here!!!! Never know knew it was freaking Alchemist and he still killing it out here
On repeat!!! Thank you Alchemist!!!
RIP Prodigy
Seeing al perform this at dilated family tree a while back was one the best moments of my life so ill ! A-L-C still producing gems
Most talented of sampling with great style.. never let go of that minimalism! Thats why I can't touch to records anymore.. your style ✊️🤝
Oh man 1997 right there and still holding it down
Alchemist is really underrated.
To who? Every real and I mean real hip hop head know Alchemist😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This word is too much used, the real underrated ones are the ones who have only 500 viewers/listeners or less (if i’d hit 500 people with my art I would be happy tho but you understand what I’m saying)
One of my favorite producers

This is so early 2000s NY
This instrumental is naturally better than a voice over........
Es lo más increíble que he escuchado
One of the only beats where I don’t really wanna write any lyrics.. I wouldn’t do it justice.
@OGHvynutz droppin CB4 references.....definitely stepping it up
Jay z soon you'll understand? alchemist is a genius
Its a classic aswell
Alchemist My Favorite Producer.
trust me when jay-z said too much west coast dick licking. that was the end of the beef. the end of production from them to him. and the end of everything. listen to reasonable doubt 1995. i was born in 93

Beat you into centerfold then kablam
The dame with no name got a drop
Of that Green, Can't get too much
Although it'll .... (Hold You down)
Can't solve this existential riddle
Only silence will tell the truth
And it'll
(Hold You Down)
You know a video is old when the annotations ask for a five star rating lol.
This guy makes sick tunes, funny how Bronson always jokes around with him in the group
This shit is nooooice! I love the song that he sampled for this.
Timeless classic!
Hold you down!!!
Hes too dope for this picture 😂
i think it's just real one ;)
"Retarded as fuck"? Uh, there's nothing about him that seems slow. He's clearly very intelligent in interviews and down to Earth.
No, I definitely never watched Ancient Aliens, lol.
I'm a renaissance man, a true throwback.
Dick Head i think part of the reason he may have seemed slow was because most of them were high out of their minds. If you think Action Bronson or the other dude that was smoking seemed more intelligent than him then you're crazy lmao
I had to come back to this I might have to write my life to this
thanks man, it's much appreciated
siempre me ha encantado este beat
Legend
omg the very first part of that intro sound like somerhing from the Wizard of Oz!! The Munchkins!!
This a classic too! Reeeeespect! 🙌🏿
Reminds me of Cassidy smack DVD when he was beefing wit Murda Mook days classic rap days
ive been trying to find this. i dont remember where i heard it but i remember the sample so clearly.
jay z used this in roc la famila album on soon youll understand
