Not really. This was the sound of NY and Chicago at the time. Jazz was the staple foundation of hip hop at the time. Go listen to Jazzmatazz by Guru, all of Tribe's first three albums, Common's early albums, even 2Pac had a jazzhop record on his 1995 album Me Against The World called Temptations.
It is undoubtedly thee absolute best usage of EL. It's so far and above every other rendition, and that's DURING a phase where Pete consciously began paring down. HM sends it through the roof. One of the greatest beats of all time
@@rubendominguez5260 So is it ahead of its time or are today’s hip hop library beats just trying to emulate the Pete Rock sound of the early to mid 90s? Perspective is key. If you lived back then you’ll see most of these new beats as just a retrograde attempt to copy Pete Rock. Hip hop was different back then. Culture was different back then. Values were different back then

By far one of Pete's greatest productions and that's saying TONS about the best to ever live.
One of the greatest beats ever
Underrated comment. It indeed IS one of the greatest beats ever.
Beautiful Beat by Pete Rock!!!
the scratching on that whistle is fuckin out of this world.
Simple but funky...
Yeah when he scratches the whistle that shit is bonkers 😎
like a UFO taking off
This beat is ahead of time for 1994

@@P0k3D0nd3M4cG but somehow these type of beats are used for UA-cam videos
@@P0k3D0nd3M4cG I already heard all those albums tho

Got me through hurricane Irma....calmed my nerves

One month and this video will have surpassed 15 years, where is time going in all honesty?
My Cousin Pete Rock great creation masterpiece. Miami Vice Effect worthy for sure
CL Smooth - singing>
Let me take you on a journey through Carmel City
Where CL's God, and the ladies gotta hit me off
Ballin on the set now baby what's the matter?
When all this is Hot Sex served on a platter?
CL Smooth - rapping>
Enter my flow so I can hit this show with somethin rugged
It's mainly how all the honies dug it
Like every single day and, bounce around the way and
Chicks are never waitin when the bodies start marinatin
We expand in player's land to unknowns
To turn my stumbling blocks, into my stepping stones
The pound Donna Karan New York down found
Where there can be no type of slackin in your mackin
The whole agenda is for me to decide; the major hustle
Is God, when brothers coincide, with the bonafide
CL Smooth, you know the Mecca Don
With lovers only for me, in Carmel City
Top notch, butterscotch, lyrics hits the mode
To make the most gorgeous women wanna get nude
Your eyes stay glued, when this is poppin word is bond
Wifey's gone, now I'm about to get my swerve on
Lay my clothes across the bed, cause I'm here to make a point
Plenty chips, got me ballin in a hot joint
Respect the sextafied aura you could never take light
It's like bringin a knife to a gunfight
My large releases got me mixin with the dimepieces
And down to rival one of Uncle L's little nieces
In my palace of pleasure, everything is done properly
And if you didn't know, you better ask somebody
Right now, the players are the power structure
Check the roly-poly, now it's time you see the brother
CL Smooth, you know the Mecca Don
With lovers only for me, in Carmel City
It's freaktacular, wasn't hard to get em out the blouse
If only wifey knew, hubby got a stash house
And what moves your man got with so much emphasis
Maybe one or two many get ridiculous
So scandalous, the honey arrives with her crew
And now they're talkin bout comin back withoutchu
Yeah my boys are ballin, here's the raw deal:
Come to my house, you gotta get naked for real
Indulgin, my peoples said let's have a talk
About the time my lady's plane hit New York
I'm bailin off the set, headin for the crib G
Cause I'm the first thing the woman wanna see
Take a hot shower, slip on some linen
Now it's a new time, a new day, a new beginnin
CL Smooth, you know the Mecca Don
With lovers only for me, in Carmel City
Classic Pete Rock groove ......
I'm an old school Hip hop d.j. outta Philly , its always been about beats for me & Pete Rock is Tha GOD ...
This reminds me so much of a dilla beat, pete must've given dilla inspiration.
Play this along with the acapella of "I just wanna chill" by large pro...
They both sample the same joint...
Let me take you on a journey... #scratching #whistles
I mixed this instrumental along with "Take You There" (Remix) on my DJ Studio 5 app, and it sounded so dope.
yes.......Take You There is one of the slickest hip hop songs ive hears, one of my favs!
Take You There is one of PR&CLS best songs, IMO. It's so slick and has great lyrics
It's "Carmel" City.
and which is it
really deep beat
The DRUMS!!!!!
Illest beat ever😎😍
Smooth Hiphop
Classic
Da smoooooooooooooooooth...

Smooth.....
The beats strong... even though they got the title wrong..peace to you, we out y'all I'm gone..
Caramel city 😂 Might as well have been i suppose 😘
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Algo bonito, algo dosil
Para que estudien este verso en el futuro como un fosil
Camarada el que se enpolve
Mi estructura es de un diferente molde
Mantente en vigilia
Solo no hay nadie que te auxilia
No hay nadie que te gane, es el infame
Hugo Montenegro-Dizzy
carmel city
a little like jd
Does anyone know what the original beat is from? And who the sampled voice is?
The sample is this ua-cam.com/video/H-kP3INK0R0/v-deo.html
The voice is from Spoonie Gee’s Spoonin’ Rap
I love instrumentals... Lyrics are useless with this kind of music.
😯
Pete rock would love to tell you how wrong you are

5*

+ivory corley I don't understand who could dislike this, even if you do, just move on, why bother giving it a thumbs down
I was commending the fact that there were no dislikes sir!!
I believe someone disliked this just to troll this comment
