It was ahead of it's time an right on time for the intellectual type the battle was words not shooting each other your mind was the weapon with words they can't express other than violence .thanks 🙏👍
This song still holds up in 2024. Back when conscious rap lyrics mattered and conscious MC’s were at the forefront. Poor righteous teachers were definitely one of those groups that shaped and molded hip-hop in the late 80s and early 90s.
I always go back the that line from the movie Malcolm X. If you give the people dirty water they will be forced to drink. But if you offer them clean vs dirty water they will always choose clean. Record companies only offer dirty water now.
They did curse back then. Violence came into Hip Hop from the West Coast as they were relating thier local surroundings. Then the white executive pushed it to the forefront.
Something that I've noticed with a lot of Golden Era videos is that they shot on rooftops ( this, Roots "Proceed II/ Roy Ayers ver", ). Ya'll may not realize how difficult it is to access places like that in cities nowadays.
It's so sad that these young cats don't know REAL HIP HOP! I've actually played some of these old school songs and they mouths literally dropped!! They never new this type of hip hop existed!
I remember when this first dropped!!! Super fire. Back when we wore African clothing and jewelry and was about that and learning more about ourselves through the music. I learn about Garvey and Brother Malcolm through Hip Hop... I guess that's why it had to turn into violence and mumble rap. The builders of prisons and makers of law saw the power in it.
Met these brothers back in '91. Wise Intelligent chanted while me and my homeboy battled his dancers G Rock and Footloose. Peace to Culture Freedom and RIP to Father Shaheed. You'll never find a group of down to earth brothers. PRT for life!
Had the privilege of performing with these Kings in the early 90s. Me and my brother danced with their dancers G Rock and Footloose and we wrecked it!!! SIP Father Shaheed
Gives me the chills. Masterpiece! Growing up close to the bridge these guys were bigger then life to us back then and the song stands the test of time....Raw and genuine Hip Hop!
solid,relevant and so current still in 2023, this ish is my jam. no beefing all love just hanging out wit yo homies. life was so btfl and simple back then "the good ole days" and didn't even know it ....how things wld change to these troubled times. keep smiling and love as much as u can.
This song was the beginning of alot of my conscieness at 21 yrs old n San Ton Texas, few yrs later n 95 would b come fully affiliated with the NOI while n Texas prison. Got out n 97 haven't look back. Owner of my own big rig. All praises due to Allah. Peace
Where the only music genre Where we allow people to tell our Great ones to wrap it up. Let’s go back and get our Giants and encourage them to keep making great music. The music industry needs it. I agreed that America’s got talent this is it….
I know it's been said tons of times, but these guys are so far ahead of the current generation, they aren't even in the same universe. Their word play, the beat and just overall flow. It's amazing how modern day hip-hop has literally devolved from PRT to what we see today.
An often forgotten hip-hop classic. This is hip-hop. This was a time in hip-hop when there was a message in the music. It wasn't just mindless entertainment with a dope beat.
Whos rockin this in '24?!?!

Real rappers that flowed lyrics without a curse or a violent phrase. The good old days when you enjoyed hanging out without being shot..
They did curse back then. Violence came into Hip Hop from the West Coast as they were relating thier local surroundings. Then the white executive pushed it to the forefront.

You can say that again the Good old days for sure I wish I had a time machine lol

Wise Intelligent will ALWAYZ SHINE here, repin our culture that's Hip Hop
I go back to this and ask myself, what happened to hip hop and rap? Nothing even compares any more.
When someone says "ahead of their time" this is a perfect example of what they're talking about.
One of the best pieces of lyrical content ever. Dropping jewels
When a Bentley or Gold wasn't necessary to be relative in hip hop 😌
Just intellect!
Must of not heard of Eric B and Rakim
Iam Yea but that was in they own right, they were hustlas so they dressed like hustlas
Amen
I wear lots of gold and a kangol and im no hustler, just work hard for my money. legally.
The era when hip hop made sense 🏆💯❤️
Man!!! This is bringing back memories when I was in College
I remember when this first dropped!!! Super fire. Back when we wore African clothing and jewelry and was about that and learning more about ourselves through the music. I learn about Garvey and Brother Malcolm through Hip Hop... I guess that's why it had to turn into violence and mumble rap. The builders of prisons and makers of law saw the power in it.
True. I learn much about cultures and histories via Hip Hop, Fortunately, it's still accessible daily
Facts!!! Sad True fn FACTS!!
Hell yeah I’m still wearing my African clothes and my Muslim hats to this day 💯🙏🏽 I’m proud of my religion
I'm so proud I'm from the 90s era .. the lyrics are crazy!!!
