@@dakingltroyproductofdade3579 My boy had an S10 with a cap and 12 12” Lightning subs and something like 10,000 watts of PPI amps. This song beats SO MOTHER FUCKING HARD in a setup like that.

But if you cannot back it up. It's just Studio Gangsters doing a "gig". I bow down for nobody! If you do not believe me come visit me in Amsterdam North! Only fools bow down!

Too bad we'll never see a reunion, but gotta respect Ice Cube standing on business when it comes to family. Westside Connection was one of the best rap groups of all time.
@@magick8288 You're saying that like it would be easy to make an album as gangster, lyrical & as revolutionary as Bow Down, Lol. It wouldn't be an easy task my dude.
I’m a metal fan to the core. However, rap in the 90’s were very special and can’t be duplicated. Too bad Cube and Mack 10 couldn’t get alone. We could’ve been blessed with more music.

It's about dope lyrics and delivery. Nothing of today's rap hits as hard and sounds just as raw as the opening to the uncensored version of this song. Prime Cube right here.
The east coast west coast beef was a crazy period in hip hip history. There were some incredible tracks that came out during that time no doubt..this being one of them. All verses were 🔥..Cube is a legend, Mack 10 was dope..WC’s flow was superb
What does the man have to do with the song I don't get it anyways I'm sorry I'm just probably thinking negative so sorry that he's one of my favorite artist ever Ohio
DUB C's flow is so hypnotic. I put him in that category of MC's that have their own distinct style that you can't compare them to anyone else like Busta Rhymes, Baatin of Slum Village, ETC. Just natural flows and styles. He was the most under rated member for sure.
Damn straight. Cube & Dub still collaborate & tour all the time. But they've gotta reconnect with Mack 10. It's been way too long. I think I heard that Cube & Mack 10 aren't on the best of terms. Hopefully they'll put they're differences aside, so we can get a Bow Down Pt. 2.
the legend Yeah it was Cube’s wife’s brother Mack 10 said. He was talking slick to Mack & Cube wasn’t doing nothing about it smh so instead of Mack 10 doing some harm to homeboy him & Cube argued about it.
Yea they are VERY underrated because idgaf in my book MACK 10 is more Gansta then Cube any day and Dub is a like my second best when it comes to this album, But MACK is the West coast ring leader when it comes down to him and Cube going heads up on this rap shit
Damn, this song makes me feel old but shit it still goes hard. One of the best rap songs from out the 90's period. This was the first rap song I ever learned all the words to lmao
Esta canción la escuché por primera vez en el ejército prestando mi servicio militar. Un cabo tercero que era mi comandante la ponía para levantarnos a las 4 de la mañana y la ponía en los parlantes a toda madre💥💯🔥.. en pocas palabras una chimba como decimos en colombia...
Relativley new to the rap bandwagon. I'm normally metalhead. Can't stop listen to west coast classics on gta. I'm startin to really enjoy listenin to old style rap songs. Shoulda jumped on the wagon earlier.

How many of you are playing this song in 2024

That opening by Cube is brutal. Them bars are among the hardest I’ve ever heard! 💥💥💥💥

Driving along the highway listening to west coast classics-best ever it was

This Album converted me from grunge to hip hop in the 90's.
Yep Nirvana was gone everything.
AIC & STP >>>>>>> Nirvana
What's wrong with loving both genres 🤘💨😤
Youre allowed to listen to whatever you want whenever you want, you know that right?

Gangsta rap made 'im do it!!
