I tell my son that his Father was born in 1971 and because of that I got to listen and be around when rap/hip hop was at it's pinnacle. I tell him about my friend who was good friends with Tupac in Marin city aka "The Jungle" and told him about how Wrestlers talk about always maintaining K Fab, basically staying in character, today's rappers are average dudes, their material doesn't touch the masses, just certain niches. Rap back then was universal in how in changed lives. You had all walks of life and people and culture trying to emulate rappers like Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Krs-1. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth had real messages in their music. Many others as well, now we drill rap that doesn't unite. It kills and keeps us separated/divided and these labels love it. They put life insurance policies out on these literally here today gone tomorrow rappers, keep their masters and on to the next. Very sad.

Eat the hearts of one another and digest it with understanding thee, before eating or influencing the mind and have one, united. The body is not used often for a job if one can hold it and the animal doesn't discriminate; why we are dependent on the brains. Walls don't separate the soul from another, but the flesh and blood from its relative and relativity. There's plenty of life for those who apply its principles with a contract and commitment, than following others, bread crumbs an ordinary line through a threshold. For everything has instructions, but they don't always answer and what the conscience don't need, don't apply to them; life always makes things better. Children don't argue to be praised, influence and pride honors those who follow it for worship and fortune, fighting to the end, short of it and fame.

HipHop of today is not what it used to be HipHop of yesterday had meaning,understanding and passion.

All Black people must, "straighten it out" one of my favorite parts of the song, shout out to Pete Rock & CL Smooth and 90s hip hop. 👍💯

State of Address Sodomy justifies adultery an a dimension of people under influence of a host paying tax for the trial of abuse. Passions need to be tamed, fantasies with the imagination isn't an escape. For the abused are vulnerable for help, but where there's deceit is self interest and mercenaries in a Kingdom of Sodomy, and best, one, self help. Its harder to meet peace than an argument, for some don't express their feelings nor share their hearts when they're hungry, least satisfied and humble. Desire (pleasure or vanity) looks for confidence, not protecting the well being of a people for a fortune (wealth) to support it, that one needs its intellect, as a people unite before the truth, where peace is best kept. Why, digest the breadth than the flesh and blood for the animal and be saved from a defied land. Avoiding adultery, avoiding forces and have salvation. If one doesn't share its heart and mind, influence will share what's left of it at a cost and release the animal when hungry, and better served with water. Principle can't be threatened to take bribes and loans to pay debt, principle is reinvested to life, and a labyrinth is taking more life than one in it, can give. Why witnesses protest it by fasting.

Eye Witness What is at peace, cant be divided, its in control , full of love and happiness, and passage to a new day. So we count the tokens of life holding our breath for one more in will and prayer, and it doesn't take an attitude or animal, the codependent or weak, nor vanity to be humble with another on its knees. Its the will for peace and love, and yearn for attention, that brought us here together. Now all the tables that have been turned, and the ones turning, the truth is surfacing an all the hearts are being reveled; sincerity doesn't hide anything, an its keeping the peace. Its the silent in the night , the light after a storm, the peace before the rain; and better not to withhold the whole heart, the truth and nothing but, for the storm in the quite. Let thee have a witness to stand in its defense, its not under persecution, the guilty cant get it right; peace is in tranquility and higher plain of consciousness, at rest with peace, rich with the truth. Its old faithful " Let me get a witness " Dolls are pushed on girls adolescent minds for the holidays, days worship and faith in materialism , discriminating others like a pedophile in its temple house with its words and favor. The girls dress them with the dross they flaunt in its fantasy , while drugs are pushed on their subjects for all their fears service and money in a trillion dollar market , doing more destructive than help. Bad health is poor and drugs are destructive " Let me get a witness" ...

Eat the hearts of one another and digest it with understanding thee, before eating or influencing the mind and have one, united. The body is not used often for a job if one can hold it and the animal doesn't discriminate; why we are dependent on the brains. Walls don't separate the soul from another, but the flesh and blood from its relative and relativity. There's plenty of life for those who apply its principles with a contract and commitment, than following others, bread crumbs an ordinary line through a threshold. For everything has instructions, but they don't always answer and what the conscience don't need, don't apply to them; life always makes things better. Children don't argue to be praised, influence and pride honors those who follow it for worship and fortune, fighting to the end, short of it and fame.

real pure hip hop it gets no better than this!!

State of Address Sodomy justifies adultery an a dimension of people under influence of a host paying tax for the trial of abuse. Passions need to be tamed, fantasies with the imagination isn't an escape. For the abused are vulnerable for help, but where there's deceit is self interest and mercenaries in a Kingdom of Sodomy, and best, one, self help. Its harder to meet peace than an argument, for some don't express their feelings nor share their hearts when they're hungry, least satisfied and humble. Desire (pleasure or vanity) looks for confidence, not protecting the well being of a people for a fortune (wealth) to support it, that one needs its intellect, as a people unite before the truth, where peace is best kept. Why, digest the breadth than the flesh and blood for the animal and be saved from a defied land. Avoiding adultery, avoiding forces and have salvation. If one doesn't share its heart and mind, influence will share what's left of it at a cost and release the animal when hungry, and better served with water. Principle can't be threatened to take bribes and loans to pay debt, principle is reinvested to life, and a labyrinth is taking more life than one in it, can give. Why witnesses protest it by fasting.

Imagine if Pete Rock and CL listen to themselves while riding around in their cars CL to Pete Rock dude we did a great job on these songs we did lol

Pete rock and cl chemistry is unmatched

A time where dudes still knew how to wear trousers right! Still have this CD. And still i love hearing it!

3:19, is classic. I tell you no lie, Uncle Red Alert was in 75% of old-school hip-hop music video's. I crack up every time I see him. It's like where's Waldo. It's cool though, he was an elder. And everyone that was coming up in hip-hop respected and recognized him as such.

Maaaaan I remember my parents use to bump this early on Saturday mornings 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️

Savings account Evil works harder, not smarter in fear , scrambling in a pickle concerned in trouble of whether it's going to score or not, an it's not a coincidence that its had the energy and money to fight. Dixie seemed to always be on their side and the interest was mutual between them, Dixie ( or Dollar index exchange) and evil. They never argued about the Interest they paid on the money to fight for the energy and spoil , and they never seemed to stayed together with out it. While migrating the refugees of its breed to its homestead and country , for country cooking ( if you know what I mean) and hospitality for business opportunities ; A share of the American Pie. Market Place. Unfortunately for those (evil) in a Pickle, the Bank is the Peoples Not the Third Party, an all we need is a Bill of Signatures with a adequate interest rate index on savings accounts, strengthening our Country , Capitalism and Dixie ( or Dollar index exchange ); the American Dream, Balance, equality and salvation. Hunger makes a great pickle, saves Lives and promotes Health, younger looking skin , less to loan on, or on Vanity and better to help D.i.x.i.e than fear to have the dream, the dream with the Bill of signatures for a savings accounts with interest.
