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.
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.....
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!!✊🏾✊🏾
@@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.
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
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🙏!!
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 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯
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!!!!!!!
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!
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
@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!
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 💰
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'''
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!
"Rappers get chopped like the head on a fat cow." Freddy comes in like that dude who takes the drunken, living room wrestling matches way too seriously. He's gonna hurt somebody with them bows!

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!
Rest in Peace Heavy D.
one of the flowiest G's out there at the time AND this time
Yes indeed
This is what hip-hop is supposed to sound like. I miss the people who made music like this.
“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!

#realheadsknow #realhiphop
Flavor Unit

@@thdoom81 He's talking about the Hip-Hop music was fun back then.
Real old school hip hop forever
Timeless never gets old they went in great old days

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 i was like 14 and listening to this. Takes me back.
True
Treach, Heavy D and Dres KILLED this shit easily....CLASSIC!
Just listen to all of the different flavors of mc style in this joint.Pure jazz.
RIP to the Heavsta and Apache.

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!
I loved this song so much! so many different artists what a time to be alive
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!!✊🏾✊🏾

Chip Fu killing it!
FOR REAL!!!!!!
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.
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
Wow. This brings me back to watching Video music box on channel 31 in Brooklyn! Those were the days.
Heavy kill it r.i.p.
I remember this.
THIS is hip-hop.
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🙏!!
Legendary roster! Brought tears to my eyes.
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 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯
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
EARLY 90S High School!!
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.

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
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
That was the best year... Of flava.. Man!!!... Everyone's here
You ain't heard hip hop like this in a minute.
Queen Latifah got crazy! I love her!
Queen was pretty hard in those days
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.
Latifah new exactly what she was doing with Flava Unit!!!
Yet, it wasn't commercially successful for the artists.
How do i not remember this. Man the sound. ALL TIGHT.
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
West and East were both doing their thing at this time!!!

The Queen look like a cutie from around the way in this vid. Raise the fist to all my people in in the African diaspora
All hail da REAL QUEEN 🙌🏽🌹🖤
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 💰
In 2018 this still has flavor for days! ✊🏽
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!!!!!

roll wit da flava!
Dres! Period - his verse slayed all on this!
Shit is SO DOPE years later
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!!
i miss hip hop now most of it shit now days very sad
No... Hip hop is lame now
Atleast u can still bump this
Dres killed it! And the sheep mascot was a 🔥 concept.
HEAVY D. R.I.P!
What a collective of MC's we don't think about who had skill. Unfortunate. Long live Hip-Hop.
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!!!
The 90s baby!! Great Rap Era!!
Brings back memories of this cassette tape bumping in my yellow Sony Walkman in high school
First time hearing this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I need a time machine
This took me back reminiscing about the 90s
Dope joint from 93-had this taped off radio when I was 15. Some of my fav rappers on here-Treach, Dres, Heavy D
90s best decad for human kind
i'm a hip hop head and i missed this one! i'm in heaven right now :D
Yeah Roll wit da flava!!!!
still goin' hard
I can feel that
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
the real hip-hop classic
“Well it’s a motherfuckin party yo cuz I got mine!” Love the way Dres closes this joint out
Old school forever 2019... PR 🇵🇷 represent!!!
RIP heavy D
These days were the best
Still stompin in 2023 ❤
Damn!!!!! I miss this kind of HIP HOP!!!!
Underrated crew joint in my opinion.
this is when i used to be in love with rap
Freddie Foxx kills it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Heavy D.
This window of time was the TRUE Golden era of Hip-Hop, better than the late 80's and superior to the late 90's.
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!
Gary Campusano you speak the truth!! 80’s was the TRUE Golden Era!
Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯🎶🎶
i like how Freddie Foxx later stated on Gangstarr's Militia, "no more twin Glock's. they jam up my plays. now, it's twin .40 caliber Walther PPKs"
The God Bumpy Knuckles
"Rappers get chopped like the head on a fat cow."
Freddy comes in like that dude who takes the drunken, living room wrestling matches way too seriously. He's gonna hurt somebody with them bows!
And 23 years later, her still does!
The guy in the beginning sitting down had me rollin. Tell him Tifah, "We got flava for days!"
All went in perfectly
She got flava for all eternity
Salute and bless the Flavor Unit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Definative classic
I’m from jersey 732 da garden state it’s 2021 and I’ll always bump dis wen I’m just chillin #732jerseygurl4lyfe

I love 90’s rap!
Every time I watch this, I imagine that poor sheep thinking: "What in the hell am I doing here??" 😆
Bring back 90s Hip Hop❤
