@@hershey5790 It was originally supposed to be an homage but while they were filming the video some guys shot at them. That's why the video shows them kicking down buildings.
It never was a dis track don’t het caught in the hype The video made it seem like a dis track. The buildings being kicked over was added after they got shot at
Let me tell you Dawg I used to be in. South Jamaica Queens Southside with my manz Shawn Nic ,Dame and Big Kev..Rip... They meet me coming from Cleveland to LaGuardia airport and in a parking lot was ,3 dudes rolling a old school whip on hydraulic with California plates . Them boys were tripping but I'm from Cleveland and I bust up laughing. Shout out South side 119th Rd.
Biggie rapped on this beat before the dogg pound did. It was for a st ides commercial where biggie used this instrumental. Idk if u knew but this beat is fire tho
Kurupt is the shit! He brought a sick Philly flow to LA. He developed his slow flow on the east coast & perfected it on the west coast at one of the best hip hop labels ever! One of my fav emcees from the 90’s! Disgustingly dope!
I remember when this came out. I was living in New York and I didn't give a fcuk, I still had love for death row artists and used to get into arguments with friends,etc over it. This video was hard to accept at the time though. I could've sworn it had snoop kicking over more than one building, at least that's how I remember seeing it at the time. It was like how you going to hate on New York like this when you have so many fans here? And over some shit that's not even about you. Found out later they were shot at in Brooklyn during the filming of a video before this happened so I get it. As much as I miss hip hop that was on another/better level, I don't miss the bullshit attached to it like having to get permission and pay off thugs to be allowed to shoot videos. That shit didn't happen with any other genre of music. These animals(the extortionists) were extorting their own people and oppressing themselves. Completely ignorant.
Bigs bitch ass was the reason for there trailer being shot up cause he called hot 97 and told where they were filming that video and i,ve gotten my fair share of battles with my homies over death row and bad boy or any other east coast group back then,but in the 90s it was mostly West coast for me,especially death row.
I bet ny niccas wouldn’t have went to cali period to shot the video to that weak azz LA LA song they did it wouldn’t be no missed targets they a55 would’ve got laid down
Yo! I'm from Baltimore Maryland and Kurupt was a ultimately beast only of mystical and reality lyrics at the same time. He is the goat! As the Philadelphia Pennsylvania rapper! Northeast coast 4 ever!!!! 1000%
This is one of the hardest songs ever, this shit go hard. The beat in nasty and kurupt went in on this shit. "Im all ready to put work in, take 10 steps than turn, and shoot the first n***a smirkin". He was nasty on the mic, a very underrated lyricist. The Dog Food album is a classic, i still bang this shit from time to time.
Was 2nd year in high school/secondary when this dropped..Didnt have the Source or Vibe magazine but knew straight what this track, when I saw snoop kicking over buildings and DPG dancing 🖖🏾classic West Coast G rap
I was 7 in '95 when this came out. I grew up in Compton and went middle and high school in Long Beach (Jordan!). Definitely a unique time, never duplicated.
This track was a straight gut shot to the East Coast in '95. Everything about it from kicking over buildings to using a sample of EPMD's You're a customer as the main beat. Still dope though seeing West Coast cats in NYC throwing snowballs!
It was supposed to be love. The hook is originally from Melle Mell. He was supposed to be in the video. The beat was produced by DJ Battlecat. The video was supposed to have a lot of East Coast rappers in it, showing love. But word on the street said that Biggie went on the radio and started trashing out of towners that go to New York and make videos there. Moments later, the set of this video gets shot up. No one knows who did it, so they blamed all of NY and said fucking paying homage, let's kick the motherfucking buildings down. That led to the "LA, LA" song with Mobb Deep throwing people over the bridge.... which is one of the many things that led to "Hit Em Up".
Without a doubt my most favorite video from death row hands down! One of the most creative from them in my opinion and absolutely love the idea of seeing west coast low riders cruising around New York! just desperately wish they would have showed more of it ! So would have loved to have seen about a good 20 seconds of a bunch of bad ass low riders hitting switches on the streets of New York ✨✨✨
Man this video never gets old they were super disrespectful but it was one of the fliest videos ever made in my opinion kicking down the buildings with the ground shaking and shit
I like how, as giants, they are on the beat, especially snoop. When they r stomping or jumping off or knocking off the building, and when they moved, I liked how it vibrated.
@@3028bnjmns prodigy was a powerhouse in prime he’d keep up just fine but Kurupt was more lyrical. But one thing I know is Daz would outrap Havoc for sure
I was 11 or 12 when when doggystyle came out and even then I was telling people that the best rapper on the tape was kurupt. That kuruption double disc was 🔥
I hope that no one gets offended, but Snoop Dog and the Dogg Pound ripped up New York long before 9/11. Snoop straight up kicked down the Empire State building.
@Ruciana That’s the Citibank building in Long Island City, not the Empire State Building. That’s why CNN and Mobb Deep made the response to this song…LA LA, which had a harder beat and had its share of disrespectful shots at the west.
I was 18 when this dropped and remember this like yesterday. Kurupt murdered NY hands down. Repped L.A. the best way possible. We got tired of NY cats takin shots and being disrespectful. Waited our turn and did what L.A. does best. West Up!
NY the safest big city. You can't argue with these dudes. They swear I hey up there with Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Memphis lol. NY copied La gang culture, n ot th other way around. @@makaveliithadon
This has to be the most underrated beat of all time It's minimal but sooo funky.
Dre dope asf for this 1
@@Sickwidt It wasn't Dre tho. it was Dj Pooh. The west coast had some great producers but Dre always gets the credit.

Just realized that myself
Wow
@@alonzorobinson2134 😂😂😂 then what were you listening to 😂😂😂
Well Daz produced it & snoop on the hood lol
That's crazy me too just realize he is rapping alone.
I claim: Kurupt's verse is nothing less than a Top 5 Verse in Hip Hop History.
Kurupt came hard on this track. He did say it was a tribute until the incident then it became personal rest is history.
One of the hardest songs that came out in its time frame. Lyrical masterpiece 💯
One of the best and most lyrical MC's of all time hands down. Listen to the science smh

You're right he knocked down several buildings at the end.. look up Mandala effect
Kurupt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Snoop said snippers shot at them during the making of this video, that’s why he kicked the tower.

Every year, I revisit this video for some real Hip-Hop
This is in my workout playlist
Watching this during the Corona virus panic .. this reminds me of my childhood .. good memories
