1993-This was a music video demo we did for a group out of Flint, MI known as Top Authority. It was shot mostly in Flint with some additional footage shot in Columbus OH.
Flint, Michigan had a nice run back in the 80s/90s (Top Authority, MC Breed, The Dayton Family, Ready For The World). This song sounds just as good today (2023) as it did in 1993. Much respect to Top Authority!
Great run of music i myself still listen to today i used to like the cruise night's i started checking them out kinda late but I made it a point to go to the one in Flint I'd hear about how some of the nicest rides were to be seen in Flint Town and that some of the top hustlers owned the nicest rides I'm glad very glad i got to go and experience it even though it was only once just like all of the others I was able to see. sry I just wanted to share my experience with you Happy New Year
I ain't gonna lie, them dudes Top Authority was professionally great rappers back then. They had their own style It was Ike listening to Tupac mixed with Bone thugs.
DAMN, i was 21 years old in 1993, and im just hearing this song for the 1st time in 2023..... SMH I guess i just never came across it, i wish i did, because its FIRE !!!!!!! 😭😢😥😰😨
Shout out Michigan from the Bay Area. I stayed out in Flint during the winter break when I was a kid. Yall got the same game as us over here in the bay
M-Town be the shit. They the shit too. Triple 6 and Dayton family got hella shit together, mane. I think the 90s would have reached absolute perfection if they made a collab tape with the hardest outta Memphis, Flint-Detroit, and Sac Town in the same shit. Those were for real the hardest areas of 90s rap hands down.
I'm from DETROIT and I fucks with this song. I remember this group back in the day coming up in my hood in the 90's early 2000's on JOy Rd exit 9 Still fiyah 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
We used to bump TA & the Dayton Family on a daily basis down here in Dallas! I had that nice white ‘83 Monte Carlo sounding good. Rolling up in the park or in the school parking lot! Turning heads! Those were the days! 30+ yrs later things still ain’t how they should be!!
@@unclebrother6244 Yessir...I wasnt in the city at that time but was in Cali in the Navy and was hyped that they made it out there or folks was bumping it out there...
We was FN with this in the Bay. All I know about flint is MC Breed And Top Authority. Oh and that the government ain’t did ish about the water since Obama was sitting in the Oval Office

Never heard of this but this is dope
Fax my first time hearing this and 95% of the music I listen to is 90s
Me neither. I was 17 in ‘93, coming up NYC. So we wasn’t getting too much of this West Coast type rap, or wherever they from, but this sh** is hard!
They from Flint Michigan Check out Dayton Family F.B.I. album they from Flint too I promise you won’t be disappointed 💯
A simple place in time.
I wouldn't call it simple.
Classic brings back memories and shwoing my age lol. I sure hope 50th will do his homework and run this track on the next BMF. Give Flint their props.
I remember this dudes👍
Back when MCees, MCeed, and didn’t play around! Peace!
Y I had to 31years to see a video to one of my favorite songs
That BERNARD WRIGHT sample is tight!
"Music Is Key" (1981) - Bernard Wright
@@rasungod7257 yes sir!!!
Flex & ShotGun of Top Authority should do an album with Scarface, 8Ball & MJG.
At this point... I'd settle out of court just for another top authority album
Why? Did you like their other albums?
Yes!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡
Its 30 years later and things Still ain't how they should be! Much love to Flint from Vegas💪🏾
And it will never be until god allows it

Yo, this track is still so relevant all the way up to now, I remember bumpin' this cd on the back of the bus on my way to school - still G
The culture TA promotes is exactly what causes them to cry about in this song.
Played this all the time. Top Authority.
Top Authority 1st Album (Something to Blaze to) is a classic. Miss 90s rap!
So underrated!!!!
This is before Eminem was even heard of in Michigan

Don't forget about DFC
Sound like Hard Boyz A-Town Hard Heads! This that early 90’s sound
Damn 1993?…i was -6😂
71' eveyone used to kick hard. No judgement! Figure it out, and respect ppl.
We used build our own sounds.
Sad to say.
Ain't shit changed in 30 yrs.
Actually worse in some way.✌️
You have to be a certain age to understand
We was FN with this in the Bay. All I know about flint is MC Breed And Top Authority. Oh and that the government ain’t did ish about the water since Obama was sitting in the Oval Office
DFC was from there to right?✌️🔥💯
This song is grimier than Flint's water supply.
🦾💯
You filmed this?
