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 🙏👍
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.
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.
This was era of intellectual, positive rap, no East coast vs West coast beefs.. the only thing remotely negative (not really) was they boasted of their MC skills.. and that's sports in an art form level.. but generally songs were about their skills and having fun.. no harming anyone.
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.
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
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
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!
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!
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.
Back when the samples were actually pressed to vinyl, vocal takes done over and over, and all the other components tried, then tuned and sync'd etc. Dope AF. Teenagers in the late 80s like me really appreciate what people like this were doing back then, from all the way down under, buying cassettes and cd's from verandah music in Adelaide. What a time to have been alive.🤍
He talks about manifestation, teaching, wisdom and creation all things that flew over my head as a kid. I always loved this song but these few extra things in here made this that more dope.
Still listening in 2020. I lived in Trenton from 2008-2018. Trenton is wild but I miss my Trenton Fam. I'm in EHC now a small town but I still proudly tell people Trenton Makes What The World Takes💖
@@lenardshaw6037 I understand Trenton is different. Trenton Made me tougher and hungrier. I get it , It's just something about being home! I'm from Camden and can't stay away either. I don't go home often but my mom and sisters still stay there so I go when I can or when I have to.

Memories of me as a little kid listening to the best era/decade/genre of hip-hop/rap music ever! So remember watching this on Video Music Box Channel 31, afterschool 3:30/4:30pm! Respect forever to Poor Righteous Teachers!
Wise intelligent, one of the most underated rappers ever, incredible flow and had something to say, Jersey back in the late 80s early 90s had some of the doppest rappers, Chill Rob G, Treach From Naughty by Nature, The Flavor Unit, Poor Righteous Teachers just to name a few.
It still does, its just the landscape of the industry has change a lot sense then. So you'll have to dig a little deeper to find people rapping like this.
That first verse especially still blows me away with the flow ....When i first started writing myself, i studied that verse over and over ...he bounces over that beat so perfectly
Much knowledge and wisdom being dropped here...all divine and lessons/teachings being conveyed musically. I loved this time in hip hop. "Islamically I drop it. My duty is to teach so keep ya pistol in ya pocket" Wow! 🙌❤️🔥💜💚❤️🔥🙌🏼

They killed it.
Rakim is the grandfather of conscious rap😁 When he released "My Melody" in '86 then came PRT😁
why do so many people struggle with the spelling of the word its? no apostrophe unless you mean it's time to do such and such.

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.
Man, IKR💯
You can say that again the Good old days for sure I wish I had a time machine lol
Stop typing this dumb shit. You sound like prudish Puritan/Amish MFs. Who cares if adults curse? Jesus Christ.

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.

The era when hip hop made sense 🏆💯❤️

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
