This is one of the most underrated rap songs of that era. This song is pure gold, and i'm glad the guy did it because he killed it one hundred percent. Thank you, homie !!!
You might find it interesting to look up Jimi Hendrix and the Last Poets to hear him actually playing guitar behind someone rapping. Look up the Ballad of Doriella Du Fontaine. One of rap's early pioneer's Lightnin' Rod recorded in Jimi's studio.
Having listened to this track for at least 7 or 8 times now, I think this song is based off the movie Training Day. Either that or what he's rapping about is eerily similar.
Man I only ever knew him from Simon Says not gonna lie to you, but then I listened to that first album it’s so solid I can’t believe I’ve slept on this guy he is a goat
@@Dequ011 And somehow there's one religious cunt, making a gangster rap video that's about getting arrested by cops... about GAWD and JEEBUS... Sorry to break it to you mate, but fuck off with yer fairy tales and grow the fuck up.
Lamont Coleman Respect bro,Melanin 9 is British and massively under appreciated,check out the group he is part of called 'triple darkness' - they are incredible
I remember running into this around 2009.. back when I was like what’s TH-cam?? So cool to see it in my recommended 10 years later this is always a bump
I remember being so excited for this album, its been years since internal affair and i was waiting for more Pharoah. I was not disappointed. One of the best emcees of all time.
I have never heard this before today. I took a chance and clicked on it and I am so glad I did. This is a fire track. Why the hell has YT never shown this to me before? Better late than never, I guess but this song deserves some love. This is good stuff.
Pharoahe Monch was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about collaborations. "Sometimes the collaborations will be easy. If it’s a song about happy, sunny picnic days, you’re like, oh, OK. Other times it’s like, this song is about the Afro-American struggle in America, and you’re like, all right, this is going to take a little more time."
I know Pharoahe from the Hilltop Hoods collaboration 'Classic Example'. It's taken me this long to listen to Himself. Bad move on my part, but I'm here now.
@@fightermma gtfoh not everyone has the same musical interests, and it's not like this guy was as popular as the most mainstream artists. I could talk about countless "classic" metal bands/songs but you most likely wouldn't know about them unless you were into metal...
this was on the soundtrack for "training day"... i remember id never heard of pharoahe monch before... then i checked out his other songs and became a fan. he has to have some of the best rhyme sequences.
Same here. I asked my younger brother (an MC) who he was and my brother looked at me like I was crazy. He said, "Ask any rapper -- Pharoah is the shit! He really does have other good stuff harder than this. This was tamed down for the film.
I heard this 11 years ago at an underground sports and music festival. In the first time in my life i went to the DJ booth and popped the question. Best decision in my life.
FINALLY AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS I HAVE FOUND THIS SONG THANKS TO THE ALGORYTHM DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A SONG THAT IS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD THAT IS CALLED F**CK YOU?
@@rustymcbadbat yup training day the movie im very surprised Spotify doesn't have that soundtrack 😳 that was a big movie with multiple demographic audiences
Oh man, I used to think I was so hard core as a 14 year old "bumping" this LOL oh god I'm so old 2020Oct- I still listen to this obviously, just no longer think I'm a gangster 14yr old kid haha.
+Lucky Lex me too. I feel even older when I tell all these young kids how their "hiphop" sucks and back in my day we had, Pharoahe, Boot Kamp, Wu-Tang, Beatnuts, etc, etc, then Im like, shit. Im old. Rap really does suck ass now tho, except underground.

Remember I found this song on youtube back in like 2008 and it was listed as immortal technique LMAO I had no idea until a couple years later when I heard it again and recognized the PHARAOH flow
Love this song, Pharoahe Monch might be the best hip/hop lyricist around [in my opnion, don't particularly want to start an argument]. Would love it if i could somehow just have the instrumental, so cool

It’s a hidden gem no doubt
I think it's a "fuck you" really
same. for once it was good.

The electric guitar in this song is dope
got a jimi hendrix feeling of that. good shit

It is hendrix!!
@@mattdryden3321 is right, it's ripped from a Hendrix tune.
Dope shyt
Pharoahe's decision to do a track from the cop perspective was revolutionary at the time. Still the most legendary rapper you never heard of.
Having listened to this track for at least 7 or 8 times now, I think this song is based off the movie Training Day. Either that or what he's rapping about is eerily similar.
@@swindle9695 The start of the song is a scene from training day
@@disbelief3911 That's what I figured but it's been a minute since I've seen that movie.
@@swindle9695 It's from the training day soundtrack indeed.
Aceyalone's right there too. Blackalicious too.
One of the sickest beat, and sickest lyrics ever in rap history. The guitar is dope. These combos are just plain, simply RIDICULOUS.
Pharaohe made the beat himself
Classic
Pharoahe Monch is either number 1 or 2 lyricist ever. Either him or Black Thought.

I have a conspiracy theory that someone at youtube is purposefully exploiting the agorithm to share music he likes to everyone.
Well, if that’s the case, they got good taste I’ll give them that.
well me and them are probably bobbin our heads together alot
Probably true
I feel that, bumpin 2020 never even heard the name. But I’m digin it
Would be cool
For me, this song never feels LOUD enough. I'm always turning up the volume knob but I'm never satisfied. this song is great.
came here searching for exactly this comment, I guess I'm 12 years late.
It's so true, this song sounds more amazing the louder you play it.
that’s literally my issue right now!!!! it’s not loud enough for the shitty maintenance me hear lol.
🎉
hate that this isnt on spotify its such a banger!
15 years later and TH-cam algorithms recommended this!!
Better late than never lol 😂

pharoahe is a master of his craft! love every single track he's put out. pharoahe monch forever

cause u have a good taste in music
This is one of my best, my favourite rap song ever. The guitar, the hook, the lyrics are on top. This is fire!
Words can't describe the self satisfaction I have for growing up to this "rap" music

This is Hip-hop, not rap
Sometimes youtube recomends some gold.
The most underrated who deserves more air time.
Same as Melanin 9

@@EatPieYes Random licks from Voodoo Chile/ Voodoo Child. Very well done also, this track is dope as hell!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@EatPieYes If they weren't sampled they just flat bit the licks from the song and had a studio player put them in, either way it's done marvelously.
