Every MC drops it hard on this track. Treach, Chip, Freddie, Latifah then runs the show, Heavy D, D-Nice drops a dope verse and then Dres just owns it. And we out. And then we putting this on repeat because it beats anything today.
I LOVE how Queen Latifah is reppin Winston Salem State University on her sweats!!! I never paid attention to that when I was watching this video back in '92. But when I graduated high school in 1996, I attended WSSU. And now here I am watching this video for the first time in almost 20 YEARS & I see that she has my school on her sweater! How cool is that.....
This was when artist were harder than they were in video. Gather any group of modern artist and see if the variety of styles can come close to this. You got a 9? They killed it and kept it fun.
@@JPR22 Woolies? That was some crackhead sh!t though. They couldn't hang with us cause hard drugs was not normalize in the Hip hop culture like it is today.
Love how back in the day the videos were more grimey, filmed in teh cold benches outside somwhere without all the glam and glits. Also, enjoyed watching mc's flowing and integrating themselves to the beat. Like you see everyone doing gestures according to the beat, scratches and hits, this is fire!!!!!!!
Damn I miss those days...pure Hip Hop...I remember watching this on Yo!! MTV Raps...Treach set it off nice but Dres brought it home lovely, his “you got a 9...” line brought a smile to my face cos when he pulled his “9” out it got me like it did back then!! Long Live Real Hip Hop!!✊🏾✊🏾
I came to hear this jam again as I finally was able to pick up the Flava Unit Roll Wit Tha Flava on vinyl....had the CD since 92, but had been lookin for the vinyl...... This track never gets old....its as good in 2022 as it was in 1992
Man I never knew he rocked on Living Colour. I had this single in Summer of 92-used to play it non stop. I was about 14-I lived and breathed hip hop back then.
Come on! is Treach (naughty by nature) Chip-Fu (Fu-schnickens) Freddie Foxx (aka Bumpy knuckles) Queen Latifah,Heavy D (RIP) D-Nice,Dres (Black Sheep) Kid Capri is on the video too
Legendary Line Up, true Emcees and stars in abundance. Incredible to also see where Latifah and Shakim took Flavour Unit as a company all these years later in TV /Online production 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯
Me too I miss my cassette tapes I had all of them and 45s lost my stuff in storage Amazon music doesn’t have it either or Spotify it’s black out sad and we celebrating 50 yrs of hip hop you would think they release everything this year to make more money 💰
LEGENDS. LEGENDS. LEGENDS. Treach, Chip Fu, Freddie Foxx, Heavy D, Latifah, D-Nice, and Dres. 🔥🔥🔥 I cleaned out my garage yesterday and found a mixtape I made when I was in 8th grade “The PHAT HipHop Mixtape Volune 1” LOL 😂 I checked the track list and sure enough THIS joint was on it but it been so long since I heard it I forgot how it went. Anyway, here I am today and The Flavor Unit sounds as fresh as they did back in 1992. What a classic! RIP Heavy D!
My first time seeing this video! I love it ALREADY! This must've been around 93 when this came out. A video like this probably didn't have that much airplay AT ALL or else I would've known about it already 🤣!! 🤡 me if yall want but this is REAL HIP HOP!! SALUTE TO ALL in the video! Rip Heavy 🪨 D🙏!!
Naughty da Hip Hop Horray!!! Chip-Fu the Fu! D-Nice da Smooth!! Krs da Culture!!! Dres da Bee!!! Heavy D da Mind!!! Bumpy the Gang Starr Foundation!! Queen the King!!!!! that's ma unique Nyc Flava!!! '''i got flava for days'''
I'm pretty sure that 0:36-0:55 was filmed on the pier at Exchange Place in JC. I was a regular there in 1990-1993. WTC, raised things the trees grew in & the railing brought back a strong memory of that pier.... You can briefly see the train station at Liberty State Park in the distance at 0:39...
Love all the CAMEOS in this vid - Benzino aka. Ray Dog & E-Devious (0:41 - Reppin Boston), DJ Kid Capri (1:20 - Blue Coat), LeShaun aka. Almond Joy (2:17 - Doin' It, Wild Thang, Wide Open, and Bitties in the BK Lounge), Mista Lawnge (2:59 - Green Coat)
@Cadilac Gaboy yeah Nas, Wu, B.I.G., Naughty, EPMD, Redman, Tribe, KRS, Onyx, Keith Murray, Jeru The Damaja, Lords, Das Efx, were all complete zeroes during this time 🙄😉
@Cadilac Gaboy I'll give you The Chronic and Doggystyle were beast and Cube and Pac were killin it but to say NY wasn't shit during this time is inaccurate at best and straight bullshit at worst. West coast had those 4 artists poppin off and thats it. 36 chambers dropped in '93, Redman(I know he's from jersey but he's east coast) dropped in late '92 and was all over NY, B.I.G. party and bullshit was out already as well as Real Love remix, EPMD's headbanger and crossover were fire. Illmatic dropped early '94 and is legendary. Tribe was always crushing it, Scenario. West coast had a hot second on top but east coast had more depth and destroyed them as the decade progressed. B.I.G.'s two albums, Pun, Jay-z, DMX, all Wu solo acts, 50, Big L, it was a wrap!
@Cadilac Gaboy "death row dominated" is a bit of a stretch. 2 great albums(Chronic and Doggystyle) that were fire and that was it from death row around this time. Pac didn't drop all eyez on me on death row until early '96 and by that time Frank White had taken over the game and all the bullshit started. I'm not one of those NY'ers that don't give respect to the west but NY hip hop is far superior overall and over all. All the little brother and sister regions catch lightning in a bottle from time to time but nobody ever dominated NY and east coast. I think we'd both agree that we'd take anything from this era over the hot garbage they try to pass off as hip hop today.
Like all old school hip-hop rap music old school hip-hop mix music old school hip-hop 90s music old school hip-hop the flavor unit mcs roll with that Flava 😃
@MrDirkDaring the longer version of Roll With The Flava you put up doesn't have extra Latifah Verses, but verses from Bigga Sisters. They were on the Flava Unit album. And then Apache comes in after Dres. Leshaun finishes the track. Thanks for uploading that!!!
nah dude, the real and true of Golden era of Hip-Hop is the 80's, the 90's come second, 70's & 80's hip hop culture created the foundation for everything 90's, do your homework! i now i was there in the bx!
EARLY 90S High School!!
yessss
This was a such a great time in life
💯👌🏿
1993
It’s was. Other than the Astronomical murder rate.
Word up son
Yes it was most definitely!
“Self Destruction” “West Coast All Stars” and “Roll with Da Flava” was pure Cooperation and History.
Don't forget, 'H.E.A.L. Yourself' and 'Don't Curse' by Heavy D and nem!
💯 Legendary. R. I.P Apache Heavy D and Trouble T Roy. 🙏🏽
And Heal Yourself!
@@plainsimple244Lol I just posted the same thing before reading this.
1-For All-All-4-1
This is what hip-hop is supposed to sound like. I miss the people who made music like this.
Absolutely
💯
Nothing like it..
Will never hear this ever again in Hip-Hop.
Rest in Peace Heavy D.
one of the flowiest G's out there at the time AND this time
Yes indeed
Every MC drops it hard on this track. Treach, Chip, Freddie, Latifah then runs the show, Heavy D, D-Nice drops a dope verse and then Dres just owns it. And we out. And then we putting this on repeat because it beats anything today.
Steve Currie This is truly an underrated/ slept on collaboration.
Yooo!!! No Doubt. Who did the beat????
Freddie Burn Mics killed it with fury & Latifah torched it.
@@mr.salhernandez602 I believe it was D-Nice.
@@johanmassy5290 Agreed
Man, we were so beautiful
who was u in the video?
Still r my good man
were? ARE!
Timeless never gets old they went in great old days
I LOVE how Queen Latifah is reppin Winston Salem State University on her sweats!!! I never paid attention to that when I was watching this video back in '92. But when I graduated high school in 1996, I attended WSSU. And now here I am watching this video for the first time in almost 20 YEARS & I see that she has my school on her sweater!

#realheadsknow #realhiphop
Flavor Unit
it wasn't really fun..that's why queen latifah left her hood
@@thdoom81 He's talking about the Hip-Hop music was fun back then.
The best rap era !
Just listen to all of the different flavors of mc style in this joint.Pure jazz.
RIP to the Heavsta and Apache.
I loved this song so much! so many different artists what a time to be alive
Real old school hip hop forever
Treach, Heavy D and Dres KILLED this shit easily....CLASSIC!
Chip Fu killing it!
FOR REAL!!!!!!
Man i was like 14 and listening to this. Takes me back.
True
I was even younger age 7
Taking me back...JerZ and Enn WhY baby!!!
"Wit burn marks on my hips from my twin Glocks."
my favourite part
Yea, I had the privilege to move from Chi-town to NYC during this time. R.I.P. to the Twin Towers in the background!
3:12 No lean, no molly back then!! They just drunk 20 40z smoke 40 blunts and that was it man. I luv the 90's.
There was woolies though
@@JPR22 Woolies? That was some crackhead sh!t though. They couldn't hang with us cause hard drugs was not normalize in the Hip hop culture like it is today.
Legendary roster! Brought tears to my eyes.
2024 and I'm still Rollin With the Flava 🎶🎶🎶
20Yrs later still hard
Love how back in the day the videos were more grimey, filmed in teh cold benches outside somwhere without all the glam and glits. Also, enjoyed watching mc's flowing and integrating themselves to the beat. Like you see everyone doing gestures according to the beat, scratches and hits, this is fire!!!!!!!
this was soul music!...raw straight from the streets
Watching Heavy D bobbing up and down to this beat. Epic!
This was filmed in Jersey City it was freezing that day
90s best decad for human kind
Damn I miss those days...pure Hip Hop...I remember watching this on Yo!! MTV Raps...Treach set it off nice but Dres brought it home lovely, his “you got a 9...” line brought a smile to my face cos when he pulled his “9” out it got me like it did back then!! Long Live Real Hip Hop!!✊🏾✊🏾
Freddy Fox is dope.
Henny Lopez damn right sir✌
Henny Lopez YEEAAAAAAHHHHHH BUMPY KNUCKLES!!!
Mr. Bumpy Knuckles to you.... lol
全員カッコええわ!
I came to hear this jam again as I finally was able to pick up the Flava Unit Roll Wit Tha Flava on vinyl....had the CD since 92, but had been lookin for the vinyl......
This track never gets old....its as good in 2022 as it was in 1992
All hail da REAL QUEEN 🙌🏽🌹🖤
Man I never knew he rocked on Living Colour. I had this single in Summer of 92-used to play it non stop. I was about 14-I lived and breathed hip hop back then.
I remember this.
THIS is hip-hop.

they gotta edit Chip Fu out
Mc lyte and salt & peppa in there too
@@kingdutch126 agreed why the fuck would anyone hate on chip fu i always thought it sucked he never had a solo career
apache's in the background too on d-nice's verse
Its a mostly Jersey thing goin on
Aw man Hev gave me chills when he popped up its been so long i forgot he had a verse
Legendary Line Up, true Emcees and stars in abundance. Incredible to also see where Latifah and Shakim took Flavour Unit as a company all these years later in TV /Online production 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯
Big up to Uproxx.. Haven’t heard this one in 25 years.. Had Freddie Fox’s verse on constant rewind.. Killer Beat
"Burn marks on my hips from my twin Glocks" is a cold ending line.
I LOVED this song/video when I was a kid! So much talent assembled. I wish the song was on spotify.
See.... and that exactly why I don't subscribe to those MUSIC SERVICES, they never have those real rap jems, only the pop trendy stuff.
Me too I miss my cassette tapes I had all of them and 45s lost my stuff in storage Amazon music doesn’t have it either or Spotify it’s black out sad and we celebrating 50 yrs of hip hop you would think they release everything this year to make more money 💰
How do i not remember this. Man the sound. ALL TIGHT.
Queen Latifah got crazy! I love her!
Queen was pretty hard in those days
LEGENDS. LEGENDS. LEGENDS.

Hev came in and showed Love to Flavor Unit, RIP Heavy D 🗽🙏🏽
You ain't heard hip hop like this in a minute.
This was one of the best collabs in hip hop music. From dinner of the dopest artist in one vid.. Another worthy mention is d&d all stars
That was the best year... Of flava.. Man!!!... Everyone's here
“Well it’s a motherfuckin party yo cuz I got mine!” Love the way Dres closes this joint out

Dope joint from 93-had this taped off radio when I was 15. Some of my fav rappers on here-Treach, Dres, Heavy D
First time hearing this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the real hip-hop classic
hearing this really tells me I gotta dive back into my hiphop archives again.. This track got some of the biggest names of the day!!
Yessssssssssssss
I'm pretty sure that 0:36-0:55 was filmed on the pier at Exchange Place in JC. I was a regular there in 1990-1993. WTC, raised things the trees grew in & the railing brought back a strong memory of that pier.... You can briefly see the train station at Liberty State Park in the distance at 0:39...
Latifah new exactly what she was doing with Flava Unit!!!
Yet, it wasn't commercially successful for the artists.
最高傑作や👍️2021も聴いとるか？
They still got the flava
In 2018 this still has flavor for days! ✊🏽
This has some heavy hitters to me in here. Great era of hip hop right here!!!
Yessss man this was such a great time to be alive in hip hop!!!
Man I miss the 90a
Love all the CAMEOS in this vid - Benzino aka. Ray Dog & E-Devious (0:41 - Reppin Boston), DJ Kid Capri (1:20 - Blue Coat), LeShaun aka. Almond Joy (2:17 - Doin' It, Wild Thang, Wide Open, and Bitties in the BK Lounge), Mista Lawnge (2:59 - Green Coat)
Underrated crew joint in my opinion.
Brings back memories of this cassette tape bumping in my yellow Sony Walkman in high school
I'm still make that they didn't release a more flava unit projects with these artists. This was on point .
Yeah Roll wit da flava!!!!
still goin' hard
I can feel that
When the East Coast had it on lock
Huztle Mane ... the East never had it on lock. It just started there.
Once it hit Queens... it traveled like wildfire.
not really when this was out deathrow records ran things the westcoast was much bigger

i'm a hip hop head and i missed this one! i'm in heaven right now :D
Dres killed it! And the sheep mascot was a 🔥 concept.
Old school forever 2019... PR 🇵🇷 represent!!!
What a collective of MC's we don't think about who had skill. Unfortunate. Long live Hip-Hop.
All went in perfectly
Who still rockin this shit in 2021
This song came out the summer I graduated high school 1993, good times I swear .
Class of '93 here !
