"Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends.....your enemies remain the same, your friends always change." that is a life quote that has never been untrue for me
Henny Lopez oh yeah i heard the original song it was pretty disappointing. 50 killed that first verse. do u know where i can get the guy with stripes music? his names punchline if i figured it out right
hgewhew hewdhewr Damn I forgot his name, its on the tip of my tongue. Trust me I will figure it out and get back to you, I remember him from mixtapes in the late 90's.
Thts when tht the east was just getting back right they was falling on death ears for min but real hip heads tht respected the craft still respected lyricism. The west was in the end of they run and the south was taking off in tht time. Thts a nice lil clip tho.
@@rizamahmoud201 Bro New York was always on top you're buggin..only in the last decade have New York rappers slowed down and that's only because most of them are bosses now.
@@claudegrinnell9602 bro where tf are y'all getting your info from? Y'all must be children bc NY been running things since the early 80s till now..rappers wise NY only slowed in the past decade or so..
Man WTF happened to us?!? Watching this in 2017 hurts my soul. Everything is so fucked up nowadays, in comparison to where the sharp talent this video left off...
dandaddavi - you aint alone bruh . i watch mad throwback hip hop vids now a days . im 24 i cant get with 85% of the bullshit mainstream push on us these days
I agree 1997 cypher vs 2016 cypher huge difference this generation on rap sucks ass nothing but fruity pebble mumbling ass rappers and more than likely gay 2 lol
You ain't playing! Big l woulda legit caught bodies seeing niggas literally dying in this cypher from the weight the punchlines carry. Intuitively, niggas would get an understanding that no one is on Big L's caliber..

"Here's a jewel, love ya enemies and hate ya friends , ya enemies remain the same, ya friends always change" few other lines in rap have resonated in my mind quite like this one
I am from Oakland Ca. Spent Summers in Spanish Harlem and Queens. I use to take cassette tapes back to Oakland when all of these Famous now were just Hustling. Dem New York God's are Pure Poet's. Much Love and Respect. To the 5%ers
Punchline nasty!!!! How hunger make you outshine even superstars. But everybody did there thing. From a fan stand point I really miss this era tho. R.I.P. HipHop.
“Love your enemies n hate ur friends cause ur enemies remain the same but ur friends always change” 20 years later and all his enemies are literally the same 50 is a legend 🔥🔥
Here is a jewel
Love your enemies
And Hate your friends
Cuz emenies remain same
But friends always change. (c) 50 cent
He always been a student of the 48 laws of power
@@mj9202 he got that from a philosopher but its a dope line and very true
That verse was hard
Which isnt true... lol. Dumb shit.
MAJOR food for thought #sadbuttrue 🤔
people dont realize how nice 50 was back in the day when he was hungry
robert f)
literary hungry?
Antivirus360 no stupid
lil BH no shit sherlock, that was a joke
Antivirus360 wasnt funny was i supposed to laugh
robert f duhhhh white boy
50 fucking murdered that 1st verse...
damn 50 flow was nice
Raul Sanchez the 1st was tight the second not so much cons got bars period stop hating he killed it
Both the dudes after him were better and he did murder it so what that tell u
fact 50 cent the rapper is worth about a hundred million dollars.
The second he sounded just like big l
Niggaz flow still on fly
0:27 perfect timing for that verse... Shit gives me the chills.
same here!
Ong
Goosebumps!!!!!
And the line ends within that little music change
Word
if you don't instinctively bob your head to this, something's wrong with you...
*Bobs head after reading comment, making sure people dint notice*
Just stopped when I read this shyt
+Gaziminator lmaoooo bruh
jp im 15 and i couldn’t stop
Thaat jus mean they from a diff era
"Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends.....your enemies remain the same, your friends always change." that is a life quote that has never been untrue for me
50 was ahead of his time
What I don't understand is if you hate your friends then they are your enemies aren't they and how are you to hang with them if hate them??
Make no friends and you shall have no enemies. Free game.
Haitian Prodigy not true. True more friends you got the less enemies you got
Enimies can become friends so they canchange
Freshman class of da 90s 👌😂😂
Yea😂😂😂
Damn all them went in. 50 was a humble dude back then saying N.O.R.E going last cause he was the most popular and most respected at the time.
was nore the guy with the stripes? he had BARS!
hgewhew hewdhewr
No N.O.R.E was the guy in the gray ECKO hoodie with the hat backwards.
Henny Lopez oh yeah i heard the original song it was pretty disappointing. 50 killed that first verse. do u know where i can get the guy with stripes music? his names punchline if i figured it out right
hgewhew hewdhewr
Damn I forgot his name, its on the tip of my tongue. Trust me I will figure it out and get back to you, I remember him from mixtapes in the late 90's.
Henny Lopez nice one bro, appreciate it
These dudes are all nice! This is when hip hop was real - when NY was rightfully on top in the game. I miss the real 90s hip hop.
Thts when tht the east was just getting back right they was falling on death ears for min but real hip heads tht respected the craft still respected lyricism. The west was in the end of they run and the south was taking off in tht time. Thts a nice lil clip tho.
New York was not rightfully on top about this time …. No limit and not cash money was running things. And the battyman of Atlanta began to emerge

@@claudegrinnell9602 Def Jam literally dwarfed cash money and no limit..combine those 2 and they still aren't half of Def Jam.
when 50 was still hungry
lol 50 ran out
KZ Zaheer yeah but his 1st verse was fire
Raw 50 before the shooting before his voice changed
Before he got that bullet on his tongue. But to bounce back after being shot 9 times & having an multi platinum album is impressive 🙏💯
Tax or he was cloned 🤔
The beat/ instrumental is addicting and unforgettable...THE LYRICS/POETRY is EVEN BETTER 🤣😂
Still rockin a chain worth probably 15 racks
J. Professional lol 😂 these guys signed their souls trust me they regret it down the stretch I have proof bro
Man WTF happened to us?!?
Watching this in 2017 hurts my soul.
Everything is so fucked up nowadays, in comparison to where the sharp talent this video left off...
dandaddavi - you aint alone bruh . i watch mad throwback hip hop vids now a days . im 24 i cant get with 85% of the bullshit mainstream push on us these days
dandaddavi it's lost it's soul,
I agree 1997 cypher vs 2016 cypher huge difference this generation on rap sucks ass nothing but fruity pebble mumbling ass rappers and more than likely gay 2 lol
dandaddavi the labels wanted music to shift to BS that's we're the music for them was at pop rap trash labels didn't want messages in music anymore
I was thinking the exact the same thing. What happened to Hip Hop ? :(
I wish Big L was on this track!They would've been like "ooooohhhh'!!!!Because Big L was the punchline God.
You ain't playing! Big l woulda legit caught bodies seeing niggas literally dying in this cypher from the weight the punchlines carry. Intuitively, niggas would get an understanding that no one is on Big L's caliber..
4lifebloods there are actually. I'd put
K RINO, GZA, and Chino XL above him all around including punchlines.
Nah that's Fab
I totally agree with you. He's a real mc from way back. But he's always been my favorite.
Not a track though its a freestyle lol
The dude that went third at first killed it
Son I'm realer in the street than I am on wax
So if you see me in New York, see me making my stacks
And if you see me on the island, you see me taking a jack
And I think I'm all that
How y'all niggas feel 'bout that?
Be careful, this rap shit will get to ya' head
Have you screamin' "fuck the police"
When you scared of the feds
Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends
Your enemies remain the same
Your friends always change
I travel, state to state
Stash box filled with weight
Jaguar XK8
Money machine count papes'
Kites with five words

"WHO SAY KID CAPRI WASNT THERE IN THE EVOLUTION OF 50 CENT"
I miss this 50 man. Still got his old cds from before he was shot.
Second guy is the personification of NY hip hop rap !
His cadence, flow, delivery, and style just screams New York in the 1990's !
His name is Consequence
He was down with A tribe called quest when they made Beats, Rhymes and life
2 songs I reccomend with consequence Good bad ugly & stressed out.
Consequence 🔥🔥🔥
