"Some get Range Rovers, some religion change-over Angel on my main shoulder telling me remain sober Token n*gga, game's over ain't no payola in freestyle In battles, I'm warring like a G-Child "- Common
One of my all time favs him, nas, ghostface. I mean there are many but i feel common is legit underrated and underestimated for his lyricism music and deep soul
That is a true Statement facts I miss the 90 and Early 2000 hip hop music era it was the best and the new shit out now is Garbage 🗑 and I still play my 90 hip hop music for life and to the day I Die 💯💯👍👍👍
@Christian Barrett the pendulum will swing back that way, even if it doesn’t reach it’s point of origin. Not there yet but I see less people stuck face down in their screens than even last year 🤷🏽♂️
Miss the 95 - 99 era luv hip hop music 🎶 forever peace to MOs Def & Kweli that Black ⭐️Star & Reflection Eternal & Sound Bomb peace to the founder Of Rawkus 💣 the riots apart - illadelph - slum village fantastic- common was everything 👳🏽♀️ kind of music will never be made again 🌎 🚀🛰🛸
This whole track is great... Sadat is such a standout on everything he’s featured on... Edit: can’t help but think of Rafer Alston and that first And1 mixtape when I hear this!!!
But common was from Chicago, I liked the line I’m like chief up in this demonstration. Cheif was the guy you had to pay your dues to on the block, 10%.
I'm 50 now and when these cats come together and bless us all with spiritual ciphers it takes me back to my truth days when i needed there knowledge and support to help me with my life
This song brings me some of the most intense feelings of nostalgia.. About 14 years ago, myself and one of my best friends at the time (seems like another lifetime) used to play this song every single day. It was seriously some of the best days of my life.. I try not to listen to it as often as I want to, so that way I always encapsulate the feeling of that time in my life whenever I hear it.
I first heard this song in 2002 as a kid in Pietermaritzburg Kwazulu Natal Scottville South Africa. It changed my life smoking shitty weed with my Nigerian homie who got the SB2 album mailed to him by his partner in the States.
Same the first one is ruined by the incessant Evil Dee shout-outs.......... Makes it a tough listen. SB2 is much better for that reason....... Love those OG Rawkus records though.... I have them all.
Common, "My Poetry is like penitentiary that attracts visitations, sentences is life". Wow, so true because it's now 2024 and I'm still listening to this since ONE999!⁰
First song off the And1 mixtape volume one... this song brings back so many memories...Really makes me sad wishing I could go back to that time in life..
Yesssssssssss man, shit gets me emotional , watched and 1 mixtape vol 1 yesterday morning and it literally took all my stress away for 20 str8 minutes. Never realized those tapes were only 18-20 mins long man, shit felt like forever as a kid, felt like the longest 20 mins as an adult too man. Thank you for this comment man.
@@AlanbongoJones no doubt my brotha I know exactly how you feel and you're more than welcome. I actually met the guys from the And1 mixtape back in the day and got a chance to hang out with them at their hotel. You can't tell you how much I miss those days my man. Nostalgic things can definitely take your stress away. Always look at some of your favorite TV theme songs and anything that makes you happy to help relieve stress. There's a few articles online about it. Much love brotha✊🏾✊🏾
Moving to Germany in March of 99 I had to stay up late for Yo MTV Raps and they played this joint every week. Will always be one my favorite songs. Classic to say the least
This is one of the best hip hop songs of all time hands down; beat, flow, lyrics, multiple legends on the mic at the same time it’s everything you could want
Common shat all over this beat easily my favorite verse on this. I remember first hearing this song on and1 vol.1 skip tape and fell in love instantly. Classic!
And 1 Mixtape put a lil Southern Boy like myself on to this type of Music , 1999 , Funny How I use to keep rewinding my tape just to hear that song . Fast Foward to today and I got it on repeat , STILLL !!!! ✊🏿

"The Golden Era" of hip hop
Never say never. You never know. Social Media is not holy writ. Neither is the culture of negativity. It's not invincible it's flawed.
@@jameskent2925 It was a Hip Hop renaissance. The Golden Era started in 86 ended in 93.
This whole track is great... Sadat is such a standout on everything he’s featured on...
Edit: can’t help but think of Rafer Alston and that first And1 mixtape when I hear this!!!
Yes!
I love Soundbombing 2!! I played this album throughout my undergraduate studies. I miss Rawkus Records bringing that real NY Shit
This was ABSOLUTELY in my headphones freshman year walking across campus.
Yes! C/O ‘99 HS
But common was from Chicago, I liked the line I’m like chief up in this demonstration. Cheif was the guy you had to pay your dues to on the block, 10%.
Common and Hi-Tek from the Midwest, not NY.
I'm 50 now and when these cats come together and bless us all with spiritual ciphers it takes me back to my truth days when i needed there knowledge and support to help me with my life
I’m still listening too soundbombing 2. That’s real hip hop.
One of the hardest Hip-Hop tracks I’ve ever heard.
When Hip Hop made sense
When this video dropped..I truly 4got how much 4 granted we took Sadat x..this song WAS THE JOINT!!!
Ìmagine hearing this for the first time. I just did. Common always with the top tier rap.
Me too although I was a Big rawkus fan back then: talib, mos, co flow. Surprising but nice
Rap City when I first heard it. Went to FYE and copped the CD
Sadat X rapping and Alamo walking with a bop is such a mood
This will never get old still getting it 2022
A time where all rappers were just lyrically giving the vibes.
Hip hop classic..they sure as shit dont make em like this no more..
This song brings me some of the most intense feelings of nostalgia.. About 14 years ago, myself and one of my best friends at the time (seems like another lifetime) used to play this song every single day. It was seriously some of the best days of my life..

Every time I hear this song I tear up because I miss those days
Real hip hop. Intelligent lyrics and lyricists at the top of their game 👍
I love this track.
A classic.
I first heard this song in 2002 as a kid in Pietermaritzburg Kwazulu Natal Scottville South Africa. It changed my life smoking shitty weed with my Nigerian homie who got the SB2 album mailed to him by his partner in the States.
Seeing your comment in 2024 I hope you are doing well brother

"game's over ain't no payola in freestyle"
Awwwwwwww what a beat, what a flow. Long live oldskool.

Still a Dope track, Hi-Tek went hard on that beat and all the hip hop artist in the video and Harold Hunter a Dope skater R.I.P.🔥🔥💯
AND 1 Mixtape Volume 1.....

Rawkus Records was a hip hop gem.
If you get knocked down Black Man. Get up. Dust yourself off and remember the world is yours to. RIP Harold Hunter.
I keep these in my classical music section, I had to pull over on the highway the first time I heard this joint.
i dunno what it is about this track... but every time I come back here I have to comment... this shit still give me the CHILLS - Hip Hop Holy Ghost
Moving to Germany in March of 99 I had to stay up late for Yo MTV Raps and they played this joint every week. Will always be one my favorite songs. Classic to say the least

damn i aint seen this since the Rapcity era... glad to have heard this atleast one last time God forbid
You gotta Just appreciate life, sit back, don’t let it fly right past you.
Talib Kweli dropping 💎
This is dope and takes me way back! One of my favorite concerts ever was Common and Talib at Amherst College in the early 2000s.
One of the illist tracks ever!! So underrated!!
I wish we could go back to those days.

ESPN 30 for 30 "The Greatest Mixtape Ever" brought me here.

I miss the days of running up to the duce to pick up the latest mix tapes. Ya remember them days. Dj double R, rong G, Dj clue.. And so on.

Hi tek is one of the most tightest beatmakers in rap.
I've heard this record before but must've only heard the instrumental. Didn't know this was Common ft. Talib Kweli, Sadat X, and DJ Hi Tek.
This is like such the epitome of a hip hop video
This track just hits your soul man
This.... Blackstar's 'Respiration (Remix)'..... GangStarr 'Above The Clouds'...... Some cuts just hit different.
