@@musiclover-cn7tb Yeah, you are right. You clearly hear that it's the Brothers Johnson original version. The instrumentation is the same. Campbell's has the same melody but the instruments sound different. Some of the lyrics of the hook are taken from the Tevin Campbell song but that's it.
I’m here after “Quincy Jones passed. Sharing with my sons, ex DJ, love to give my sons the history on great samples… from Brothers Johnson, to Tevin Campbell, to O.C. … Classic sample.. shoutout to DJ Premier and Buckwild.
I remember listening to this back in the dizzay in school and all the hiphop heads were fiendin for it. Having come off the back of Time's Up and Word... Life everyone was expecting a solid album and no one was disapointed. Always felt OC and AZ never got the kudos and success they truly deserved.
It was an honest opinion that I had, but hey, to each its own. Peace. I feel like OC is not as appreciated as the Big L fan base. That’s where I was coming from. But peace man, your opinion is your opinion.
This track is pure dope from start to finish. Production and samples are great. Michelle s hook ist beautiful and very fitting. And that Rakim sample... OC is a beast and an underrated MC (at least as today), but every true head loves and respects him and his flow. I have all his albums on vinyl still..
I could've sworn I heard this song in the early 90s, like 92 or 93. I was in the 6th grade in 97. I must've heard this song by chance on the radio and it stuck with me ever since!
Rakim’s voice leading into the hook, sampled from his line “Phrases, thoughts, made by the R of course. One thing i do is keep ‘em different, and far from yours,” from the song “To the Listeners” on the Follow The Leader album.
When ever I listen to this album. I just think about growing up. I was 5 when it dropped I didn’t fully listen and appreciate it till my late teens. Wow. Can’t ever let this shit go
Does know one not see how amazing the video is? Compliment's Yvette's angelic voice, O.C.'s unique unseen lyricism, and Preemo's pure talent with these visuals that match SO well🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖
Who still watching / listening to this classic? ✋🏽
For sure
Never going back to the basement
Facts😂😂😅
Livin my life and im hella faded
Don’t bring that here please
What does that mean?
O.C. & A.Z. will probably go down in history as two of the most underrated and under appreciated emcees to ever have come outta Brooklyn 😑.
FUCKING BIG FACTS 💯
Kool Keith #1
Kool G Rap #2
O.C.#3
Scarface #4
Ghostface Killer #5
Sauce Money as well.
They will never get thier third eyes opened
@@youngbrodie3997 he had the bad bitches gaspin for air in aspen searchin for asprin we he ass inn'ed
This album was criminally underrated in my opinion a classic
"word... life" was even better
Stg
Why is O.C. so underrated? Seriously, his flow, lyrics, and style is all on point. Plus, he has two great albums, Word... Life and Jewelz.
BobBub Not good enough promotion ! Plus alot of mc's got caught in between Nas and Biggie and Tupac ! It was a rough time for upping coming MC's ...
two you mentioned are CLASSIC!!!
@@oldschool4396 them niggas had content...
Syed Jaffrey df ...
BobBub Because they can’t (dig it)!😎😊
That beat is insane
DJ Premier & Buckwild killed it on this one
Tomorrow, Brothers Johnson
@@freddyvidz same shit quincy had Tevin Campbell singing on. Bro. Johnson has so many samples its crazy
Word up its hypnotic
Exactly !!!
Salute to O.C ,Yvette Michelle and Buckwild for creating this timeless classic 💯🔥🔥
And the Tevin Campbell sample..🔥🔥
@@truthhurtz8517 yes although I believe it sampled the brothers johnson version of tomorrow.
@@truthhurtz8517 catchy sample .
Oc had flow !!
@@musiclover-cn7tb Yeah, you are right. You clearly hear that it's the Brothers Johnson original version. The instrumentation is the same. Campbell's has the same melody but the instruments sound different. Some of the lyrics of the hook are taken from the Tevin Campbell song but that's it.
This album has aged like fine wine 🍷
This whole era was magical so many dope MCs
So true.
Truth!
Trust me
Exactly like the 17 and 1800s in europe for classical music and piano, there will never be another era in hip hop like the 90s in NYC
The 90s nostalgia with this joint is heavy 🔥
This is one of the best produced rap albums of all time!!
Facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Word life.
@@Etcher yep
WORD

@@thandomvimbi1558 ....1997 was a fun filled year I remember like it was yesterday.
I just realized that this was filmed in St Lucia. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon.
Wow I thought he was in Jamaica.lol.
This is one of the greatest rappers to ever touch the mic.
97 was a vintage year for rap
The mid 90's to the late 90's
Magical for me

ps: Roc Raida on the cut, rest in power Raida
Every real Hip Hop head knows his value he added to that game.
Facts 💯
One of New York's greatest 💯
Brooklyn....🔥🔥🔥
This album was a major part of my youth. Nice when I meet people that know what's up ! ✊ Salute family ✨
I had this cd back in ‘97, ashamed that I didn’t appreciate it like I should have.
We had no idea music would take the turn that it took
Yes shame on you smh
I remember getting ready for school to this joint this is a real feel good hip hop
It’s ridiculous how banging this track still is after all this time. This whole album is a banger.
O.C.’s 97 album was a smooth banger still listen to this day
this is the sh*t. great beat, great samples, great flow, great arrangement. hip-hop. DITC and premo 4 life.
One of the most underrated and slept on mc’s O.C has a great voice too.
Underrated and under-appreciated. Jewelz was just an amazing album overall. Peace to O.C!! One of my favorite rappers for real!!!!!
Shut up. You underrated ppl are the most annoying. In what effing universe is OC underrated???
It was an honest opinion that I had, but hey, to each its own. Peace. I feel like OC is not as appreciated as the Big L fan base. That’s where I was coming from. But peace man, your opinion is your opinion.
This song and video will never get old
O.C is the shit !!!! 🔥
Buckwild is a genius. Top 5 NY producer of all time
Top 5 ever
God damn this shit is so smooth
You will never find another MC well orchestrated like a symphony, some will go down in history, some in infamy…. Summer 97…. Where my childhood go man
The beat and flow is so classic
Underrated. This is a gem.
One of the best MCs that you have never heard of. If you were born after 95, you need to do yourself a favor and check the catalog fam.
O. C. Always been underrated!
Underrated by who, we the heads how valuable and intelligent he is
One of my favorite buckwild ..O.C joints
Yessir.... Let's Go
O.C was BIG slept on joe! Faithfully!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

D.I.T.C forever
I love that he set it off by quoting Slick Rick
Real Hip Hop, I used to bump this ablum everyday in the 90's.
Oc and redman are the understimated mcs who keep real hh alive

MrKing8050 I’m trynna find that song Strange right now
I rediscovered this album in ‘07 during my college days.
I am so happy this song exists.... you have no idea. Lol
Epic album , single was on heavy rotation on hip hop charts when it came out. 25 years and still bumping
I could've sworn I heard this song in the early 90s, like 92 or 93. I was in the 6th grade in 97. I must've heard this song by chance on the radio and it stuck with me ever since!
This shit was hard.
This track is amazing!! OC very underrated!!
Rakim’s voice leading into the hook, sampled from his line “Phrases, thoughts, made by the R of course. One thing i do is keep ‘em different, and far from yours,” from the song “To the Listeners” on the Follow The Leader album.
Of course, daps
ShawnChemistry y'all ready to roll. About to flip
