I remember this song, but for a not-so-good reason. I took the bus home from school in the 8th grade. had a Walkman, and I was listening to this while waiting for the bus on Georgia ave. G Street, across from that flea market that isn't there anymore. Anyways I'm whether there, vibing to the song, and a car pulls up, a man hops out with a "9", turns it sideways, and starts shooting at a guy that was walking on the sidewalk. Boom, boom, boom, boom, until he had nothing left. Then left the car in the middle of the road and ran away. I walked over to the guy and saw him laying on the ground, struggling to breathe. My only thoughts were that this looked nothing like it did in the movies. Small holes, with fluid running out. It was surreal. The feds came. I remember an Asian and black police officer asking the crowd did anyone see anything. I wanted to say yes, and tell them, but I noticed that people from the crowd that saw the incident with me, turned around and walked away. Right there I knew I shouldn't say anything but didn't know why at the time. Just felt like the right thing to do (even though it wasn't). I always thought that it was ironic that I was listening to an anti-crime, anti-gun violence song and witnessed a murder to it. We never had cable so I never knew there was even a video for this song. Positive music like this would be corny by todays standards. Fast forward to the present day, (2022). I work at Howard, (right down the street) and I noticed that every year we have Howard Homecoming. An event where black artist perform on stage in front of the supposedly academically-elite, and sing songs promoting, murder violence, drug dealing & general criminality. We all dance to it, and it's completely normal to us. The neighborhood surrounding Howard, has been pretty violent for years (although gentrification has brought some peace). Although D Chews made that snarky remark, it is unfortunately the reality. I've seen/heard of violent incidents on and around campus, but the major focus is when a non-melanated person walks a dog on campus. What a shame. That mayor in NY tried to ban drill-Music, but was hit with backlash. Its like were trying to make life worse for ourselves at this point. Music is a huge, influential part of our culture. I wish music like this would come back. The murder rate is higher than it was in some cities in the 90's, but we choose to promote our own demise it seems.

If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!

Yeah the Compton varrios were some of the most violent gangs in L.A. it was everyone against everyone. The homies used to jump or shoot at any gangster they see slipping. Me I was that ladies man type, all I cared about was girls and partying. But of course I had to put in the work when I had to, but I never shot no one, I always tried to avoid those situations. I was called a bitch for that but good thing I was the triple O.G.’s driver so I got away with a lot of things that was considered receiving “stripes”. But everyone else were 1,000% violent criminals.

What's really messed up is the division that's been caused between all people of this nation we all live in. "The powers that be" have been using that card they play again and again. All to divide and conquer. And it's all up to us to stand together as Human Beings. Because we're not back in the dark ages unless we all wanna be. And being in THEIR dark ages keeps the blinders on us all. We limit ourself, we are our own worst enemy, yet as a whole... we are a force to be reckoned with. And THAT'S what THEY'RE afraid of. I pray we all come together and soon. Because things are getting too real. And if we stop playing their game, they'll be screwed. God didn't give us power to just sit on. He gave us power to use. And we were warned by Him about these PTB and principalities. They're our enemy! Not eachother. All made in His image. We can and WILL move mountains.

Lots to say #1 the artist was a really kind person. #2 in the scene with the undercover cops arriving the actor forgot to put the car in park, so it slowly then quickly rolled down the McD's parking lot into a parked car. Misc, the AD was a real piece of work and the Crane operator blew up one of my custom monitors by plugging it into his power supply-which was reversed polarity from what the monitor wanted.

This message is still extremely relevant!!!!❤️

I remember this song when it came out & she's telling the truth even in today's standards, what happened to positive rap? It turned into hate rap, killing, drugs & calling people out of their name. 🤦🏾‍♂️😢

Positive rap still exist. Those artist don’t get record deals and they darn sure aren’t going on national tv!

I have a core memory of singing the hook of this song with my fellow 1st grade classmates back in the mid 90s. Can’t believe I found this, at 5 o’clock in the morning no less!

One of the hardest beats EVER!!

Benning Road and Minnesota Ave N.E. HOME SWEET HOME!! I remember when they were shooting the video and it was 5:00 in the morning. I was in the 10th grade on my way to school while they were out there filming for this video. This brings back a lot of great memories.

This is a bonafide classic. Damn, it brings back memories.

​@dee27206 How is this even possible? Even in Europe & Africa, this song was banging back in the day.

I miss whenever there were songs like this on the radio.

I still listen to this I am 57 years old and I was in them streets icould relate to this song because I was that person in destruction. I thank God for saving my life I give him all the praise but this song talked to me. I better get myself ❤

I was workong in radio as a DJ from 1995-1999 and I used to love spinning this tune! Nonxhalant, Queen Pen, Bahamadia and Rah Digga, all made the job even more enjoyable!

Conscious Rap ! This is what Rap was Supposed to do ... Keep you aware keep you safe and partying away from danger as much as possible. Its also another form of the blues and story telling ... The origins of Hip Hop was pure and full of Soul ... Now it became a literal sh*t show now everyone caught the smear . But the Soul still shines because of God

This music got me crying . I remember in my younger days in west Africa Nigeria blasting this song on tape arrrh hiphop is so dead now man this hurt like bad tooth.

Remember I was at a nightspot in Gambia, West Africa and this came on. As a DC native, I was so proud!

One of the greatest. She was underrated coz she her songs were clean. No violance and explicit language

My Old School Hip Hop Rap and R&B from 80s and 90s.

Puts Megan, Cardi, and City Girls to shame. A real artist who doesn't carry lace fronts or contour packs. Real Hip Hop.

As a 90s hip-hop lover who adores this song, I still have to ask this: “What does a woman’s aesthetics have to do with her talent?” If you just made only the first statement, okay cool. But what does lace fronts have to do with anything? And I really think Megan can rap. I hope she makes more songs like “Cobra” to show her range. If she keeps going in that direction, she’ll be okay.

Holy sh1t. I haven't heard this in over 25 years wow unreal. Real bars, real content ...real lyricsm.

Nonchalant is a legendary rapper of her generation. We need songs like this again. Positivity and feminity

I was pissed when I lost my old TDK tapes with tunes like this on them but, I never thought I would thank KZread for showing me the video's after all these years.

This song is STILL relevant to this day

Somebody gotta pull ya coat! Keep you outta trouble that's mad love from the goddess!!

For me , easilly top ten 90s classic. Too many good things about this track.

Man this is a classic. I was taken by surprised when I went to a funeral and I seen her there. Found out my lady is related to her.

Who are the male rappers in this joint?

"Went through 12yrs of school and could never read, but the knowledge of my hood is something they could never teach me" damn! so profound even til this day. You still have youths who can't even read or do basic math but can most definitely tell you about grams, ounces, pounds and kilos🤯🤯🤯
