This song takes me back to that summer when this mixtape dropped. The world was different back then. Literally have goosebumps hearing this song in 2024. Our kids will never understand what the 90’s were like. This song hits me different when I hear it.
that descibes exactly the youth i had...good old days with the battery radio listening to the and 1 mixtape soundtracks, the ownerz from gangstarr, ll cool j and stuff
My brother and I would ball all day and pop in the AND 1 mixtape before bed. We both ended up getting scholarships and I was fortunate to go pro after college. This song was a big part of growing up for me. Greatest time of my life was watching my brother develope into a great player.
Na whoever says that is blind to the truth. That's gangsta rap hip hop is different. Check out one be lo, binary star,Gangstarr, Immortal technique,beast 1333,and many more. Check out the UA-cam channel ogdonninja
damn... this song still hits me.. reminiscing about ballin during summer evenings, such good vibes.. man.. time flies, this song really brings you back in time, goosebumps every time I listen to it.
I ran into him on south street in 1999. he was feestylin' and I was just a street punk. I was recording with a hand held tape recorder..just for fun. He said to me when he saw it "don't go bootleggin that shit" I had no idea what he was even talking about...I was 16. Anyway...
Fools talk about underrated artists... Last Emp was the EMPEROR of underrated bro, this is his highest view count and he is nowhere near a household name.. But one of the realest to do it
Man, what a classic. This song title actually has meaning because it brings up memories of back when I first heard this. I was a young pup. It seemed like a decade ago and last emperors "do you remember" calls in the distance as I remember the times as I hear the song.
First heard this in high school when I worked at Foot Action. We had to play the And 1 mixtape videos on the tv's all day. I would rewind this shit over and over and over and OVER. Man oh man, hip hop used to be soooooo refreshing. I hope ya'll still remember H.E.R. as vividly as I do. Peace, peace ya'll...
He truly is, he is a lyrical genius. I've been bumpin him since high school due to my older cousin introducing me to him at the time, I wish more people knew about him though, he is the urban prophet.
"I'll be sort of man that you can't forget" "I'll travel from the east to the west and tap into the hidden strengths that all men possess" "The world is yours for you to explore" Most powerful lines ! One of the greatest Emp's song
He didnt die, Poetic who was the feature on One Life died to cancer and he layed his last verses on that song. A Classic. May his soul rest in peace with all the other hidden stars in the universe
As a fellow guy in his early 30s (32, to be exact) who lost his own father in 2014, I know how much it hurts. I'm glad that the music helps ease the pain. May your dad rest in peace.
How can someone thumb down this song? damn Last Emp is by far my fav emcee of all time lyricaly amazing one of the most Intelegent lyricists i put him above Bob Dylan, and personly theres not a artist out there in any genre I relate to more than Jamal Gray!!!
@@ScreenieMyMusic Im glad you were reminded 🤞 times goes by so fast, but a few music tracks just never loose its grip. This is one of those tracks.. It gets better the older i get tbh 🍷
I remember a child lost and confused I remember a loving family I remember the beauty of the world and I will always remember the most underrated lyrical guru of all time the last emperor simply magical music for the soul
Love this song. Man, this turns back the clock, and brings me back to my childhood, lots of thoughts of those gone 36 growing up in the souh Bronx so thankful to the man upstairs that I made it.
I remember listening to this song, on one of my family’s camping trips, and we had bikes from GT and a mongoose. I remembered I heard his lyrics from this song talking about his “camping trips” and his friends had dirt bikes “like a gt predator or a mongoose”. When I heard that, I was like, “woah, this is pretty cool”. I honestly feel that God likes music like this, and can use it to communicate to us at different times.
Its been ages since i last heard i last emp track,, dunno why he came to mind, but happy that he did, and thankful i chose this track first, nostalgia over load, miss ur meaningful lyrics emp, u got me thru sum tuff times, as a Kid ima b a fan of yours till i rip, 👑
No Song in this World can take me to the place where this Song takes me.

It’s hits soo hard and gives me positive vibes and thoughts.For me that’s all I need from hip hop, respect to this guy 🙌🏿
"I'll be sort of man that you can't forget"
"I'll travel from the east to the west and tap into the hidden strengths that all men possess"

Tune. Great song great lyrics.
Love this song. Man, this turns back the clock, and brings me back to my childhood, lots of thoughts of those gone 36 growing up in the souh Bronx so thankful to the man upstairs that I made it.
Man I remember listening to this on repeat on the way too school on the bus. TLE is such a classic ❤️

Goosebumps!

Been looking for this for YEARS. Every version I found until now failed at 2:50... you are doing god's work son.
REMEMBER THE EMPEROR
