This was filmed uptown in wash heights nyc right on 190th and Audubon across from Geedubs HS. My hood. Definitely appreciate growing up in the 90’s and living these moments in real time.
Miss the days when EVERYONE in hip hop was broke, and hungry to make the best music possible. Only 1 or 2 rappers claimed to be rich back then. Now a days *EVERY rapper claims to have millions stacked to the ceiling*. Even the ones that only have ONE song out, and no albums.
totally agree man im surprised how many hiphop music was made in America back in the days its crazy!! they so sick i can listen to them all day everyday. these days ppl sell thier soul to be rich and famous. the freemasons rich fat cats put a stranglehold on the music industry, those fuckin cunts and their nwo agenda. if u gonna rap about something that is truthful or meaningful, forget about it. u will never make it in the industry
prince thats what I've been telling people. Once u get signed somewhere, no matter if u got skills or not, u get a big ass chain, some expensive car and there goes your rap career with pre-made wack and retarded lyrics like "SWAG SWAG BIG BOOTY BITCH ON MY LAP" on some dumma boy beat production that sounds exactly the same like every previous Wiz Khalifa or Tyga song. I fucking hate everything about today hip POP, not to mention their gay clothes. I listen nothing but 80s and 90s hip hop and search for exactly this type of music! And nah, I didnt even grow up in this era. Cant believe my generation is dumb as fuck supporting all those wack and gay artists from today. And also cant believe that so many artists like Busta Rhymes who used to make DOPE and REAL hip hop really sold out....making music with Lil Wayne and shit...SMH ridiculous. FUCK BUSTA RHYMES
being broke sucks, but it's definatly much more humble and real to listen to then someone bragging about their money. what made music like this so great was that the spirit and love for life was represented as being able to really vibe off of life and enjoy it even if you were broke or middle class
the first time i heard KURIOUS was on the STRETCH & BOBBITO RADIO SHOW in NEW YORK CITY EARLY 90s..... this reminds me how we used to dress in the 90s the hood girls too CLASSIC BOOM BAP SHIT
I kinda feel sorry for hip hop fans that weren't alive and cognizant when this came out ...... these were PROBABLY the best days of hip hop hands down......
One of the most underrated albums of all time, I still have this amongst many other quality albums from the Golden Era of Hip Hop which in my opinion was between 1986 - 1995. I really miss those days....!!!
Yep, when those Twin Towers would greet you entering the city, and you could see Box Chevy Impalas and Dodge Diplomat taxicabs, everywhere...Yeah, mang the REAL New York City.
When I hear this song, I imagine myself living in the 90's, wearing these cool clothes and listening to good music and that makes sense, I was born in '98 and grew up listening to hip hop, thank God, I love this tune and The group ❤ God bless Hip Hop and the culture it represents.
@@VintageDonny216 What's up 1990 this had to be around 1994. I mean hip hop was a sport at the time it wasn't really a lot of money to be made. But we had love and unity.
Kendall Jones you is right big bro back in the days new york city hip hop music was the place to be im form Flatbush Brooklyn i remember going to the Bronx all the time to my friend house when we have house party's on a Saturday afternoon to the next day we will be playing hip hop and r&b music all the time 90 music is the best not that gay shit out today always 90 hip hop music in my heart for life
I never knew this song but I loved I’m Kurious from 94. I miss this time. Hip hop was incredible but we just figured it would always sound like this. I was about 16 when this came out. White dude who loved hip hop starting around 88. This was fire-wish I knew it when it came out
@@traviscarter1023 I didn’t think to do it at the time. I knew his mom and he then came in and was real humble and kind and just chopped it up wit me. He’s from the valley but he moved elsewhere in the city , but would always come to visit his mom. Great dude.
@@teo5836 I feel you autograph can be tricky it got to be a moment for that you feel but it would have been great to chop it up. Some artists at times don't even want to talk music yeah you right it would have to be a moment. If I'm not mistaken he is from Harlem. And the vibe I get from him he seems like a down to earth guy that loves hip hop. This song right here means everything to me now as it did when I was a kid. It's got to be one of the most amazing hip hop songs. With the production by the beatnuts.
@@traviscarter1023 he’s from the valley, the upper west side trust me it’s also where his mom still resided when I was doin security in her building. Yea it woulda been cool but the convo was worth everything and meeting the man and talking about life was good enough. He ain’t even bring up the fact that he’s a pioneer of Hip Hop, he just kept it real and personable.
@@teo5836 I believe you that happens all the time at some point. That could happen at any point if you in NYC my father remembers seeing Redman and Method Man on the streets getting there CD or mixtapes out at a time period. At some point you will run into Redman. He also ran into Nice & Smooth. And yeah I agree when you run into someone like that you just trying to stay on track. Be it's already a shock you ran into them and your not trying to fuck the moment up so just be chill have the great moment. I believe you story because some one else on here was talking about his mother how she's a very sweet person.
Taped this music video off BET and it became an anthem for me. Miss those days but listening to the music means they're never gone! Kurious was too underrated. Love hip hop. This is culture
Many of my homies ask me why I'm always blastin' 90's rap & hip hop. Because the sounds & lyrics spoke more. Nowadays many rappers just rap about the non-existent stacks of money & bedding hos.
I'm 46 and still remember that day. I was there for that video shoot. I still remember some of those ppl there like it was yesterday! Wow what memories. Gen X we really grew up in the best era. Washington Heights is on the map. I got to attend cypress hill video and method man and Mary j you're all I need also die hard movie with Bruce Willis. Good times Gen X NYer 👊🏼🙌🏽
I remember precisely 2 years ago when i found this banger. I used to bump this every day at my house playing games and at my middle school, wishing I could be this man. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit and I've been dealing with deep shit, people depressed, me confronting my problems, my grandfather dying in his 70's but this shit will still cheer me up and hopefully I can be as happy as this man in this music video in the near future :)
@@Lupo32 That's ok this his best shit he was just getting his feet wet again and at that time it was a dark time for being a New York city MC everyone was really signing Auto tune people back outside rapping now.
I havent listened to this for roughly 12 years or so. I am listening to it now. Definitely Beatnuts produced this. Kurious's flow and rapping is just dancing on the beat the Beatnuts produced.
Timeless classic... You see the fits, this how we was dressing in Harlem & Westside of The Bronx, Especially Harlem tho. The fashion sense in Harlem always been ahead of its time... Y'all may have noticed that lately as of 2019/2020 the Fashion trend is going back to this "style" of clothing. Clothing brands like (Kith) & (Aime Leon Dore) have been releasing clothes with this kind of aesthetics. That timeless NYC aesthetic. Aime Leon Dore is my favorite clothing brand at this point in time because of this, pieces be 🔥. The Bronx ❤ Uptown was shaking ?
Xmas 1992.....I was given a years subscription to cable tv as a present by some Hoochie Mama who's boots I was knockin....and I discovered Rap City ,,,and Yo MTV Raps..... Those were the days
Jus think.....my nephew wants 2 dress like me now from back when. Gotta love it. Cycles/circles.....what was once old iz new now. I understand u much more now GRANDPOPS. ONE-LUV....R.I.P. 4 ETERNITY! PEACE.
This was a real good song and when it came out, it was under rated. These guys sound better than all the rappers today put together. All new rappers sound like T Pain.
i dressed like in the 90's ..i cant do it now...i feel weird dressing like this at 42 ..looking young the way i do people will think im a trouble maker looking for problems again
At 48, I miss the 90s. We had it made folks. How many of you felt that the time was special. It hit me at a summer house party. What a time. ✊🏿
The magic of real hip-hop culture transcends race. Bboy 4 lyfe.
This was filmed uptown in wash heights nyc right on 190th and Audubon across from Geedubs HS. My hood. Definitely appreciate growing up in the 90’s and living these moments in real time.
Said by every old head
Born in it wish I could have soared in it.💯
At 40 I still miss the 90s.. not everything was better back then but Hip Hop definitely was!
Beatnuts on production!! I'm about to turn 51, yes these were golden years.
The Mighty V.I.C.
The walk through the hallway... Straight 90s /00's
God bless 90s hip hop.
Yes
Preach.... todays lyrics are so low level and profane....

Skipping school getting blazed rocking all the great 90’s classics! Miss those times, now it’s all responsibility.
Kurious is underrated. He should've been given more props.
Yeah you get props over here!
Those were the days, drinking forty's and listening to good music.
I never get tired of this song, love the bass line!
Man the 90s swag was just incomparable to any of today's swag. Everybody seemed to look extra good back than. I was raised in the wrong era bro
