#TommyBoyRecords #BrandNubian #HipHop50
Here still hittin in 2024❤
The 90’s rap is unrivaled 🐐
Hip hop turned 50 last year. I turned 45. Hip hop has been my life before I knew what it was. Peace to the culture of hip hop.
Back when our music would warn us against HIV, STDs and having a bad reputation. Now, our music encourages it.
Fuck you listening to?
Sad fact
It spread further than you think brother.
I have never heard a song encouraging HIV lmao
@@uncle.samc4778 what about the most recent song of the year?
Puba’s wordplay was sick
Im 43 years old. This is what I was raised on. I need Hip-Hop like this back in my life. Much respect to Brand Nubian!
It's out there. Just gotta find it.
Me too
Common recent albums he came out with this past year million times better then this but something like this if ur looking for new music
You truly blessed!!!
I’m 47 and feel the same. I’m glad I grew up when I did.
lyrics that stand the test of time and still relevant, todays hip hop needs to wake up
This song is thirty years old, and is one of the Brand Nubian's best tracks!
same age but i love this and kind of grew up on this
When hip hop is so good it becomes pure rhythmic beats of art
All 3 verses, speak to the times we are living now, shout out to, Brand Nubian
Alpha music
yes 2020 da story will never end
Word up!
It's scary that songs like this will always be relevant.
famous dex "u was fly once now u losing all ur fronts"
Sadat X's voice is unique!!! This kinda of beat is perfect for him!
These young kids don’t understand how dope AND diverse Hip-Hop really was until the mid-90’s when gangsta rap took over
Puba killed his verse
And too where they made those couple of edits.
They all did
@@columbusohio72 puba killed the verse in what's the 411
When hip hop had a message behind the dopeness...
It still has you people just hear shitty rappers like lil pump and 69 and making dumb ignorant comments like yours
@@lfcfacupglory3111 hip hop today don’t have a messages in it that you can bump and listen to it in a club
@Justice Clark naw dude I’m talking about songs like self destruction we all in the same gang fight the power x clan funkin lesson songs like that poor righteous teachers rock this funky joint
@Justice Clark anybody dancing to that type of songs nowadays seriously yeah I can tell you ain’t been listening to hip hop music that long no disrespect to you seriously
@@lfcfacupglory3111 it really baffles me how you in denial young cats try to claim today's hip-hop is jus as good. Let it go man. I know it's sad it will never be the 90s again. But let's be honest. Nothing will ever beat nineties rap
The golden age of hip hop. 3 dope emcees, all with dope voices.
Jamar dope? The weakest link? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everything about Sadat's verse is extraordinary... His voice has so much presence and its multi textured. He's amazing!
Miss Myasia - his voice and flow. And also Grand Puba’s flow.
Rakim once said that to him, Sadat's voice was one of the best he'd ever heard
Indeed!!
Sadat and Puba are legendary,
Sometimes people can have speed or technique down but either lack soul or have an annoying intonation.
I mean.. Eminem has technique but I've never ever had a track of his on by choice
This song has many jewels in it
s/o Westsidegunn for spreading the culture🤲🏾 this is 🔥
Sadat X flow was ahead of its time
Stop saying dumb shyt like this. His flow was right on time
They were actually in the right time.
CLASSIC HIP HOP TRACK
Rap with a message...
47 years old, grew up to this, I remember when this song came out hit NY real hard. One of the best albums,every song a classic.
Hip hop with a message
Ppl will never understand. ..my childhood
Puba was on fire on this joint
When crack first came out. And there was people close to you smoking crack and you didn't know What was happening to them because we were unfamiliar with crack. But then we finally got it.....Deep song.
Ken Cabinson
Before crack...cats was smoking fish scale cooked on the stove....well, at least in NYC
Yup an i was a kid who seen it destroy my family but,, had no clue???
☹️😢😩
Ken Cabinson facts
😞
This beat is so dope and that guitar rift is 🔥🔥🔥
My jawn still in 2024 SlowDown really ❤
Man the best days of my young life.
mines 2
We grew up in the best era of hip hop. So glad to have been there!
I pray that as you age my brother that life gets better + better for you. May your best years period be in front of you. One love
@@lifeismusikmusikislife4684 they don't make music like that anymore.word up son
Mine too...I was born in bklyn in 1973...heard this song playing on the radio from someone blasting it out their apartment window on a Saturday night while sitting on some dirty steps on one of the hottest summer nights in bklyn!!! Lol 😁 SLOW DOWN!!!
"She can make the bed springs sing a song of mercy." Damn lol
😂
Real lyrics
🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😆
🤣🤣🤣
Classic and timeless hip hop!!!! Shout out to Brand Nubian!
Yes this was one of their best songs.
@@chenitajasmineamey6460 Xzackly! 💯 FACTS. I also liked Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down and Don't Let It Go to Ya Head
Whos here because you were there when the song came out
Yea we seasoned..
Me
Rob Peace
It took me 15 years to appreciate these GEMS. Sadat X, Gran Puba and Lord Jamar are all great mc's but i was sleeping on them as a white youth. I started listening to hip hop during the 'Shiny suits era'..'Brand Nubian' didn't appeal to me then so I kept on sleeping. I am glad I have never overplayed this because this music helps me bring my spirit up in these rough times.
oh, for sure. yep yep
For those of you not from NYC, this entire album was played in almost every car during the summer of 1990. If you didn't know the lyrics, you was just wack.
Back when NY York was running shit
I was bumping this in the car in Chicago in 90 and to this day.
This shit ass
New York wack a.f
Sure it wasn't 91? Maybe it was out in NYC before, but I'm from Cali and I heard this song on a college radio station and immediately pulled over and purchased the 12". I honestly cant say that about any other record
The more I listen to the music I grew up on, the more i realize I was blessed. In comparison to what's being offered to the youth today?!?! The irony is, those of my generation are responsible for the lack of what this new generation has as far as music and culture goes because we are the parents of them. Wow.
A vicious circle
Isn't that something? We're to blame, not them.
listen to Kendrick Lamar, Joey BADA$$, J.I.D, A$AP Mob, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Flatbush Zombies, J. Cole, YBN Cordae, etc
@@johannjpg You named nine acts. So what? It used to be everybody. A lot of the people on your list wouldn't have even gotten the time of day. We have listened to the people you named. Have you listened to anything before "Tupac and Biggie?" You don't have to answer. Just be honest with yourself.
@@dingolaystar3873 have you listened to anything past 2016 my guy. You sound ignorant as fuck. If you only know the shit that is on the radio then I feel bad for you
One be lo just dropped a album last month and it was insane as it ALWAYS has been..gtfo over your self so tired of "hip hop is dead heads. "" Sorry you live in a fucking cave and don't even try to listen to new shit. You don't have to answer just be honest with your self. Go fucking dig thru some crates you bozo ass clown
2023 - Still banging this hit. More relevant than ever in message and the need for real hip-hop.
Westside god just sample.this on Jesus crack
The great thing about real hip hop/rap, if its real its TIMELESS! I LOVE RAP! SHOUT OUT TO BRAND NUBIAN!
Well Don't tell that to the line about Bruce Jenner ;)
Wow can’t believe this is damm near 30 years ago.Of course y’all this is straight up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 God bless to all of you!!!!!
All 3 ( Grand Puba , Sadat X , and Lord Jamar ) got talent , I don't care what anyone says. #BRANDNUBIAN
Grand Puba was & still is so underrated as an MC, it's downright criminal.
“2 outta 3 aint bad.”
-Meatloaf
I listened to this when I was retired. Now I have a
full time job and still bumping this
One of my favorite groups of all time!
"... Push up in the wrong one-wind up in a casket." Grand P. Classic.
I miss Brand Nubian.
Why? They still perform together
Tami Sambiri me to bro
You would .. they weak as fuck haha
@@scottmack4556 Yeah..ok.. go back to your Eminem trash
@@19509b4 new albums ?
Classic insightful factor fulfilling momeant🗝🎶
Crack was so heavy in my area when this dropped but this song always kept me straight and away from that shyt #thankyou
Chocolate Don thinking about the old HIV addicts clients I work with on the daily smh
It's a blessing that stuff wasn't a part of your history. Unfortunately, it turns many into history.
It was especially crazy in NYC. It's so crazy because even in the mix of all that craziness we had so much fun. Bittersweet to say the least.
That part! Truth!
Masterpiece/masterclass of a hip-hop/rap song with a powerful, meaningful message!
Summer of 1991, me as a little kid, turning into a teenager, growing up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn!
Just got out of Spofford in June 1991!
Watching this on Video Music Box Channel 31!
Empire Roller Skating Rink!
Grand Puba's flow, timing, and delivery is musically fantastic!
Sadat X's voice is distinctive and unique!
Maximum respect forever to Brand Nubian!
Absolute classic!
Amazing beat!
Sadat X snapped on this!
Hell yeah. Still flowing.
1990 House party banger!!!!❤❤
Grand puba...yea old school rocking this joint
Keys to my life
I was at a house party when I first heard this jam - man, we had some killer music back in the day! Thank goodness for this wayback machine, I been jammin all day!
One of the best songs ever written.
Life was different back then.
Still loving this, after more than 30 years ago❤️
Who didn't love this....
This was my song in spring and summer of 91. I remember not having money for clothes and anything fly. But the music would take your mind off all that.
should have hit the thrift store.
One day this art-form in this version will be fully appreciated. Not just the beats and the lyrics but the cadence, the delivery, the tone and also the context, subtext and subsequent emphasis. This is a work of social, historical and creative, reality genius nothing short.
....and the thruth shall set you free ☝️
No doubt
This beat has been playin' in my head all evening. This song brings back memories because we made a step to it.
LaChele facts
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am (1988)
Uptown Manhattan....Dyckman Projects....is where I first heard this....Sadat X bars was crazy.
LaChele i never listen to the wrds just the beat n chorus..
It is a very good beat, I like it too
Sadat X voice and flow has a very distinctive and unique style to it. 🔥
WHEN HIP HOP WAS REAL
Real rap music !! Pure and simple.
You are right about that
amen to that
poetaviolento1968 I second that sir
I miss this era of Hip Hop, it wasn't all the tough talk and being gangster smh...
As much as I love gangster rap, too many clowns ruined it, and changed the "G" from Gangster to Goofy... damn shame
Fucking Hip Hop!
Banging this on the F TRAIN heading to Coney Island..
ua-cam.com/video/MYxPil94Pw0/v-deo.html
What did you do at Coney Island?
Sadat X flow was killer on this!
Love it.! Hip Hop Facts.! Hurts but Healing.! 🙏🏾🕺🏼💃🏽🙏🏽

A Forty And A Blunt Thats All She Really Wants! Wow 😮! Miss Those Days!
This song is an example of how greatness is turned into rhythmic beats mixed with lyrical art.
Great ! Still sounds amazing 29 years later
This is my favorite Puba verse. Thats how u close out a song
July 2024 and still bumping Slow down
Who's sitting here bobbing their head reminiscing about the fall of 1990?🍂🍃🍁
Count me in. I was already in the 11th grade at the time when this dope video was already playing on Yo! MTV Raps and BET's Rap City.
Bobbing right now and I'm from Florida
Bobbing right now and I'm from Florida
I tell you no lie.. this song has a hidden 808 in it. When I first heard this song back in the days I said man, it has no Bass. but I heard it in my homeboys system years later found out it had a knocking tr-808 drop in the background.
thought i was the only one that noticed this ahahah
Good spot
So many memories!
Miss the good ole days
*BRING THEM ON!*

One of my favorite songs ever!
Hip-hop has been a big part of my life since 94... after all is said and done, KRS, Foreign Legion, del, and Brand Nubian are the best of em all.. I really wish these guys had come to Oztralia once.
I'm still here. Shit hasn't changed. We need to slow down.
I truly miss this style of rap....
This is hip hop at it's finest and I wish artist right now would sound this good but I feel it will never go back to this again. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
NYC in the early 90s!!!! All the hustlers Uptown were playing this driving up and down the avenues. Skate Key on Allerton Avenue in the Bronx!!!!!
@@TommyBoyRecords nothing like it
Brand Nubian was really dope back in 1990 this is one of the best hits of 1990
