I cried listening to this song as a dark skinned in this society I've been through a lot of racism & bullying but I'm still standing one time I was bullied so bad I almost committed suicide by slicing my wrist up I thought that would make all the pain and bullying go away luckily I did commit suicide I love being dark-skinned. I love that it marks me as a proud daughter of Nigeria; that it identifies me as a member of the Nigerian generation. I love celebrating my blackness and what it stands for.
I was 11 when they made this. Right in front of my school. They let us out early that day. Lyte walked past me at 2:17.....I had the blue windbreaker on....lol....and I got her and Kid Capri's autograph
I was a 13 yr old white kid back in 91-I was obsessed with hip hop. I would buy or dub any tape I could get my hands on. This type of consciousness abd creativity will never be duplicated. Freddie Foxxes verse always grips me hard-especially the line about “guns n hoses”. And Latifahs verse was very underrated. So many legends on this song
Looking back, these brothers and sisters were like super heroes !! All bringing their unique flavours, aromas, identity and styles to the culture. Golden days indeed.
i was in Nigeria (Africa)the first time i heard this raps and i fell in love with all the artists, so i learned all their raps, but how we started from this to mumble raps, smh.
My heart just skipped a beat! Core memory unlocked! This was on a mix tape I played till it broke. Brought back those good feelings of being 16 and the world was yours for the taking!
I was 19 years old when this came out and I have finally healed through suicidal ex-girlfriend, porn addiction and faith 30 years later with producing media for political action and social enterprise completing my educational journey.
It's such a shame the conscious rap era only lasted for a brief period during the early 90's. Thank goodness for us youngsters, we have TH-cam so we get a chance to experience a snapshot of that era.
HEY, UPROXX/TH-cam!! Wow!! I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS TRACK IN 33YRS. SINCE I WAS IN MID- TEEN "PRO-BLACK/BROWN" TRACK!! REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAN FROM BASED ON HIP-HOP.

My uncle and cousin were in this video. My uncle "Reno" (RIP) is the Hispanic looking guy with the shades and sky blue hat moving along with JMJ and DMC.
Crazzzy I just screenshot that exact part to send my bro Big Rock. Reno was my dude. He was there to chill with me. If Reno is ya Unc. He was my street Unc too. So I'm saying wussup Fam. Crazy how peeps unite over music 30yrs later. FYI this is Uptown Ty 💪🏾💯.
@@Tytanic904 I was just with Rock, his brothers, sister, mother, wife and daughter on family vacation in VA a few days ago. What's hannin', Chief🤓!? I'm Rock's first cousin because my father, Cliff is his mother's brother. #Saundersfam #FarRock
I bump this track on weekends sometimes still loud as fuck too and then back down the rabbit hole of lost but never forgotten joints of my personal memories … which I’m about to do now 😅
@@CylenX6 The Same Gang is a classic, but Self-Destruction kills it with their artists and the beat. I'm a New Yorker, so west coast beats have never been my thing.
peeepz im from the other side of the world and I really can say this whole rugged NYC image and culture was the bomb and sooo beautifulll. The people from Nyc shouldve held on on this image now it is just garbageee
Who still bumping this 2024
Man we need this right now damn I miss this era
Over thirty years later and this song and video still means a lot to me.
I watched this video over and over again
KRS One was ahead of his time.

From EUROPE
EVRYBODY NEED THIS WHO NEED IT❤
This brings tears to my eyes we need this kind of music to day!!!
I’m with bro🥺
Yes we do!!!
Say dat!!💯
Brings tears 2 my eyes that the lyrics from 40 years ago still applies in 2022. No much changed in communities of color.
The new cats arent talented enough to see this
A beautiful conscious time in Hip Hop. This resonates even stronger in today's world. "Before you're a race you're a human." Rest in power J.M.J.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG. NEVER FORGET THAT.
There's one Nigerian generation?
KRS ONE's verse hits so hard in 2020!...and he only did 8 bars!
There's a reason he's Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone" Krs one" and this proves it
KRS is nice!
Way ahead of time
Real
Facts always stand the test of time
Wow not seen young KRS since well, early 90s!! Golden AGE.
I was 11 when they made this. Right in front of my school. They let us out early that day. Lyte walked past me at 2:17.....I had the blue windbreaker on....lol....and I got her and Kid Capri's autograph
OH!! that must have been a moment you do not forget!
Definitely
Sweet
crazy kid.... this was shot in brooklyn right?
I was just about to write "I bet it was cool to be there when they shot this"
Black and white ain't the real fight, that's the only thing the media hypes......KRS 1.
Facts!
Yeah it's a symptom of capitalism, and capitalism uses racism to grow. They are one in the same.
@Joey Afrika bro don't be dumb, the fight is rich vs poor no matter the race
“Before youre a color, youre human.” Its another way of saying greed is a bigger problem than racism as power is what enables it in the first place.
💯 facts!
Queen Latifah killed it...KRS is the best of course!
KRS-One has the most simplistic yet meaningful verses in almost every song he’s in. Dude is definitely a goat 🐐
RIP Souljah Melody. RIP Veronica Wiggins Detroit, DOC. Uua Assoc Tx BLM &HistoryADV. SayNoToDrugs Ky.
Too many generations missed out in this message.
Especially the gen z missed out on real hip-hop
White boy who grew up in South Florida born in 2000 I finally realized big difference between hip hop and gangsta rap
I just want to comment on the fact that this video is one tracking shot! Crazy!

Back when rap was conscious. I definitely remember this.
Looking back, these brothers and sisters were like super heroes !! All bringing their unique flavours, aromas, identity and styles to the culture. Golden days indeed.
Freddie Foxx killed it
I occasionally see him right up the block from me.
He did smash this.
J. E. No. Hi. Goodness
i was in Nigeria (Africa)the first time i heard this raps and i fell in love with all the artists, so i learned all their raps, but how we started from this to mumble raps, smh.
No need to put (Africa) after Nigeria.
I'm sure everybody knows where Nigeria is! (I'm half Yoruba)

Rest in Peace Ms Melody & JMJ
Thanks for acknowledging 🙏🏽
I was 13 when they made this video was had on purple shorts and white T-shirt behind DMC and Jam Master J. Rip.
Super memories. 😊
Now that's cool. **Carlito Caribbean Cool voice**
Have a blessed day everyone❤
damn its September 26 2020 and this makes me feel the way I felt when I first heard it in 1991.. This is the real music
Took me almost a decade of watching this to realize the entire music video is in one uninterrupted take
Bumpy Knuckles is awesome. So underrated in the game.
I was LITTLE as hell when this came out but I’ve had random verses of it in my head for years 😩😩😩
This song fire
RIP Melodie and JMJ
Word is bond !
Kane, Freddie, KRS, Lyte, RUN-DMC, LL Cool J so many legends on 1 track
Queen latifah
And Ms Melodie
I love hiphop so much..🔥🔥🔥💪😎 salute to the 50 year anniversary!!!!
Everyone com together as one no matter what race
KRS had the best verse. Still relevant to this day sadly.
Nothing has changed. MLK was murdered and the people who support that terrorism still exist. So ridiculous.
It's such a shame the conscious rap era only lasted for a brief period during the early 90's. Thank goodness for us youngsters, we have TH-cam so we get a chance to experience a snapshot of that era.
Exactly I love old school hip hop from the 80s/early 90s it was the golden era for a very valid reason.
Look at KRS-One that was his old look but now he has a brand new look. When did this album come out like 1989 this CD is hard to find yourself.
Aw man, the East was boomin' with this one 💯💯💯💯💯 Old-school rap > Modern rap.

Music has changed soooooo much from what was being said in this song.
This song was so dope
what a amazing song. the fact that this rap will never come back saddens me. wish to get one song in 2020s like this.
KRS still spits it!
Love old school music 💯👌🏾☺️
My uncle and cousin were in this video. My uncle "Reno" (RIP) is the Hispanic looking guy with the shades and sky blue hat moving along with JMJ and DMC.
I see him....may he continue to rest in power bro, he's a part of this thing called Hip Hop.

We have come a long way in rap but this will forever be the deal!

Real hip hop
H.E.A.L yourself, Were all in the same gang, and Self destruction when HIP-HOP came together 🖤✌🏼😎
1:19 LL verse💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 period and of discussion
Yes!
LL not being in the video is pretty much industry politics lol
This beat was crazy then and its crazy now!!
Who listen to this in 2024 dope message
This is at time when hip hop had a balance and had substance. I still have hope!
love&peaCe
This needs more views and likes.....this was so powerful to see in the 90's. Damn shame todays kids of rap will never put something like this out.
This is real rap.
Golden Era!
I remember this video way back when I was young and I still listening 🎧 to it til this day.
KRS always nails it🤘
Kane,Cool J, Freddie Foxxx,KRS...ALL STARS in my hip hop list!
Good old days
Had this cassette single back in the day. Now I gotta add this to my hip-hop playlist on TH-cam.
this is HIP HOP
What we have today is GAngsta rap, coloniZed I hate myself and everyone who looks like me, and mumble rap - two very different things
So close to Self destruction, love them both!
When I saw Kid Capri jump in, I would get hyped and wanna yell, "IT'S DA KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID CAPRI!!!"
Queen latifah killed it
And KRS-One
As well as Mc Lyte
I am so glad that the Lord took me off of drugs amen
R.I.P. Jam Master Jay and Ms Melodie...🙏🏼...
Why is this not on Spotify
This better than cari b
Nice to see Jam Master Jay spittin’.
Wow this song is amazing!
Also, make sure to check out "In The Same Gang" and "Self-Destruction".
Yes and yes! Those songs meant a lot to me!
@@CylenX6 The Same Gang is a classic, but Self-Destruction kills it with their artists and the beat. I'm a New Yorker, so west coast beats have never been my thing.
Two classics! 👍🏾👍🏾
Queen Latifah spitting over the breakz ~ !!!
Shit was dope
I MISS THE 80'S AND 90'S RAP. MY ERA OF RAP MUSIC 🎶 💯
One of my favourite posse cuts.
Killer video too.
peeepz im from the other side of the world and I really can say this whole rugged NYC image and culture was the bomb and sooo beautifulll. The people from Nyc shouldve held on on this image now it is just garbageee
Don't be mistaken it's still here sort of like a bubbling volcano under the surface.
I love this songs good old memories man.
The irony of one of the lines the late Jam Master Jay spit, "live to a very old age", that's deep...
The brothers were rocking those jeeps back in the 90s
The old one is the treasure
Classic joint
WOW I'm 53 and Ain't Never Heard or Seen This..MTV Was WHACK. ❤️🖤💚 Love My Beautiful Blessed People 🥰
I think I found out about this from reading one of the now defunct hip hop magazines that came before the Source
Big Daddy Kane,Run DMC
mon adolescence !
Today's message, classic memories
Old school hip-hop h.e.a.l. big buddy kane Freddie foxxx mc ly music 🎶 🎵
