I was born in 1978. Father was never there, and Mom was a drunk. We lived in high-crime, low-income housing, and I eventually ended up in foster care and group homes after catching many charges in my early teens. Yeah, I'm white, but I felt this song when it came out as much as anyone could. I still do.
Sounds like uve lived my life man. Everything exactly the same but I was born in 77. I grew up feeling like this 1 song was the soundtrack to my life 👊🏽
Let me ask u something... Why must 2pac's name Always has be bought up on Someone Else's video...if I go on a random Redman vid, Wu Tang, The Fugues... and Don't Let me even get started with Biggie vids...Pac's name is soooooo up in BIG's comments...they should call it "The Big & Pac Video- 2Pac's appearance''... that's sooooo Rude...Especially for ppl like Me who Couldn't Stand Pac(sorry, Treach...I know that's ur man's & ish), but to Alot of ppl from the East coast, 2pac said & DID 2 many annoying azz things for Me to Ever bring his name up on someone else's video...but His Own...
@@toyaadams7878 Well Ms Adams, you kind of answered it yourself in the reply. Treach and 2Pac were friends. Treach has a tattoo of the man on his body for crying out loud. Here is a link of Treach performing Hail Mary at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for further reference:th-cam.com/video/C6CogaDEOTI/w-d-xo.html There are not many mentions of the artists you mentioned (Wu-Tang, Redman, Fugees) because there is no intense history between them. 2Pac and Biggie will forever be intertwined because of their early friendship and intense rivalry at the ends of their lives. If you find it rude Pac is brought up with the likes of Biggie and Treach you are going to be in your feelings as long as you view comments on this site and others.
I listened to this song a thousand times. It doesn't invoke dancing in me, I always sit an listen. It's almost akin to remembrance day to me. It evokes that sort of feeling. To show respect to the fallen and falling youth.
I think they could but would have to dig deep down to be creative because the struggle of today is definitely not what it used to be. They just choose not to.
No they couldn't, because you got to understand the struggle first, and why are you struggling when there are way more opportunities now, back then it wasn't for many blk and brown youth in the urban cities, because since the '40s the system was designed to keep us suppressed. I know what real government cheese taste like. Home with no heat. These kids today are in the streets for no reason. You may have a few that is struggling, but not as many as it was back in the day like myself.
@@4823ableI said this awhile ago people said I was crazy anytime white folks can walk around in neighborhoods that were once considered dangerous that fear factor is gone it doesn’t exist anymore I DON’T EVEN THINK THESE KIDS EVEN KNOW WHAT ROACHES LOOK LIKE
I heard somewhere that that's the only rapper that Eminem lyrically said he thought was better than me and they reached out to him and they spent Tracy's birthday together I don't know if it's true just sell my herd but I would believe it
What a masterpiece of a song, the beat, the lyrics, Treach's flow is impeccable! I was 13 when this track was released and I listened to it over and over again and 30 years later it still gives me goosebumps! I also miss the days of music videos to put a picture ti the lyrics...what a classic!
I was also 13 when it came out, and it spoke directly to me because of my life circumstances. Now I'm a whole functional adult, and it's miraculous that I survived. This song gives me chills every time I hear it. I miss real hip hop.
that bar "I got laughed at, I got chumped, I got dissed, I got upset, I got a tec & a banana clip" 😃😃😃 they not rapping like that no more, Treach is a Beast!!!!!!
Won’t nobody admit they wasn’t ever not stuntin these days. Either that or mention being broke but these days everybody hard as diamonds and can’t admit anybody had the balls to crack on em
That's is hands down the hardest line in the song I always thought. It tells the whole story in 2 bars. Being pushed away, loneliness turns to anger with no remorse, and Trigga Tech is born.
Bar 4 Bar from start to finish Treach has a tight flow. I think because these songs went Pop that his flow was overlooked. Publicly it took Eminem to get people to pay attention to his bars f#$kin 26,7 years later.
Me in the U.K, I'm 43 now but when I was a teenager in the 90's this was an anthem for an entire generation. I used to have to travel to a major city to get U.S hip hop imported!
This song has helped me a lot back in the nineties when I was a poor immigrant kid with no friends and afraid of a bleak future. It showed me that no matter how bad things are you can still overcome the problems and make it in the end. Everything's gonna be alright. I'm still here and now I know that the solitude, poverty and anxiety were needed to prepare me for a better future.
You stay strong brother! You on the right path, don't NEVER let nobody knock you off it, teach it, spread that never quit additude. Our young people need to hear this stuff! Peace!✌
This song deep i love them they let it be known that it was hard times n they had to do what they can to make it i cry forreal because now dayz are better brothers are working doing better more kids finished school and doing better for themselves im proud of them kids in the hood keep your head up you are the best thats why God put you threw the test now you passed it 100 percent because your not average your the greatest your the goat now everthings alrite now Amen
I remember Treach was asking everyone at a concert what year he should go back to and the crowd was throwing up deuces and 3,4 fingers. I and one other dude were the only ones with our pointer fingers to the air! Treach just happened to look my way and said "we taking this back to '91! And began the intro to this song! At that moment, I was 10 yrs old again! Fandom hit hard! Treach has been one of my all time favorite lyricist! I never in my life thought that I would see NbN in concert ,Never! A moment I will never forget... thank you NbN for making great music and telling great stories!
Treach straight up a awesome leader ..keep all flags down ..and love one another ..and we all can shine together ..have calm on earth .. for once defy ..the devil in the streets and unite world wide .......one love from me to all ....we do matter story's are important ..keep pushing til we no longer can ..mother nature over bullets and poison ...stay up ...and eyes open ...patience is love is something
One of the most deep felt songs ever......intellegent lyrics, heart felt feelings.. a lot of us did not have fathers... or fathers that where not there emotionaly
Someone Needs to do some talking on why One of the ILLEST Rap Songs EVER MADE has Less then a Mil views...this Song Changed Lives...One of the Realest Rap Songs EVER WRITTEN...Thanx Treach for Penning Something So Deep...
I can't never listen to this without feeling it in my soul and thanking God now that I made it this far. Smh. Damn. NbN made some amazing music back then. Lucky to have experienced it as it came out.
@@TRivera13 Explains exactly where my head was at too. That's why now is so confusing to me at times. I'm still in shock that I'm really here. I celebrate my gray hairs in beard or on my head. Haha. Peace and blessings to you n yours. Respect.
This real hip hop is honest and true talent of flow with a message.IT IS significant and paved the way for these idiot mumble rappers of today!The early '90s are the most fire.Treach shows his failures and victories.
I remember when this video came out in Fall 91. The cinematography was incredible. To me this track cemented Naughty ascension to hip hop legends. The beat, keyboards, Bob Marley sample and Treach destroying the track
I was 16 when this was released. I was young and running wild in the streets of east Baltimore, I was a lost young man and this song meant a lot to me back then.
bro im born 96 and i still feel 80% of things he raps about in this song even tho i live in eastern europe,i mean shit is all the same but we dont have gun plays here Respect to the real music
@MrJshaun Keep love in your hear for your mom. Just remember that if you ever have a kid, be there mentally and physically strong for your child. There are so many kids out there with no one for support and to show love.
“If you never been to the ghetto don’t ever come to the ghetto” don’t act like you’re from the ghetto. Some people don’t understand how it is and don’t live the life we live. but think it’s so cool to “act ghetto” “act black”. 🖤.
"If not for HELL, I would've ended things a while ago" ....😢 Damn... That was the deepest line I had ever heard in a rap song. Story of my life growing up.
This song is genius. Painful and defiant. The Marley sample gives it hopefulness. Amazing delivery by Treach. To me this is the definitive N by N song. The flow at 2:07
@@samgod the song no. But the "if you ain't ever been to the ghetto" speech at the end certainly implies a exclusive you ain't cool unless attitude. Look I love 90's rap, but west coast raps centered on being ghetto fabulous, and many east coast rappers repped it like it was a badge of honor. "no matter how much loot I get, I'm staying in the projects forever"
@@qaz-fi1id I didn't take as "stay the fuck out of the ghetto" as a suggestion that outsiders aren't welcome but that they can't handle it and wouldn't fair well. The implication is "stay out of the ghetto for your own good."
@@samgod I agree thats what he meant. The whole song talked-about the hardness of poverty, I'm not even saying that the speech at the end was glorifying ghetto life at all. So really I should have just answered no to your question, lol my bad. But aside from this particular song there was a lot of rap that did glorify it. You don't think so?
Truly amazing imagery: "I walked alone, my state of mind was home sweet home." His gifted style creates an image of a child walking through this street-war torn ghetto and in his young mind this was home sweet home. So many gems of wisdom in this song. Here's another of my absolute favorites: In Illtown, "pure luck" got stuck-up, "props" got shot "Don't worry" got hit by a flurry and his punk ass dropped. He takes colloquial phrases that attempt to placate people going through struggles and raps how they meet their demise in illtown

Absolutely the MOST underrated of all time
Definitely
Listen to yoke the joker thats yardcore lyricism
Treach had a hard life glad he was able to put his frustration into positivity
I agree 100%
Still hits hard. Damn.
Treach is amazing. Underrated af

Only to kids not adults

Us real HIP HOP heads know he's elite!
I bet that, any era of the top 5 mc's, look at Treach as a lyrical problem
This is one of the best hip hop songs ever made. Treach’s flow is just flawless, underrated af...
Damn fuckin' straight.
The realest song of the golden era of hip hop,
@helicopter weewee yep perfect Treach a Goat for sure Even KRS cocky Ass says so and Eminem.
I agree 100%
Facts
Throwback classic treach was talking facts
Back when lyrics were sermons and mc’s preached real shit
u sound like an old 🤡
Still gives me goosebumps today.
It still baffles me how Teach is never mentioned in anyone's favorite MC list, when Em did it I was surprised but not at the same time because the way he puts lines together I can tell Treach was an influence, but i was a huge Treach fan, I used to imitate him, he had on Timbs, I had on Route 66, he had a bat I had a paddle, salute to one of the best!
I'm a white guy who loved this song. Treach was awesome. I took a lot of shit for liking them. What the fuck is wrong with people?
Real hip hop
When hip hop was aliive.....
The real deal ❤❤❤
2024 to 3024 and beyond, listen to this to hear real raw hip hop.....

That flow...
These lyrics...

The world doesn't care about nobody. Hundreds of people die daily in wars around the world nobody cares about
He learned alot. 😢

Say something positive, well positive isn't where i live
realist lyrics on the track!
'WHY ME'
rusty Taylor reallest Ever line from a Hip Hop Artist ever Treach seems so underrated it’s a shame considsering how big Naughty By Nature was
Positive AINT where I live. You can’t say it in proper English
That bar hit home smh
"If not for HELL, I would've ended things a while ago" ....😢 Damn... That was the deepest line I had ever heard in a rap song. Story of my life growing up.
You made it this far there was a purpose for you being here. Stay strong!
@@rickymon1000 Thanks.🙏
"Sometimes I wish I could afford a pistol then though, to stop the hell I would've ended things a while ago" I felt that shit bruh.
“how will i make it? i won’t, that’s how.” damn.
I think he says "Sometimes I wish I could afford a pistol then tho... to stop the Hell... I would have ended things a while ago."
KayGee was so underrated as a producer back in the 90s!

Psalms 73:26
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
This song is genius. Painful and defiant. The Marley sample gives it hopefulness.
Amazing delivery by Treach. To me this is the definitive N by N song.
The flow at 2:07
Back in the day, rap didn’t glorify living in the hood. It was the opposite
Of course it did, what the heck are you listening to.
@@qaz-fi1id do you consider this song and video glorification?
@@samgod the song no. But the "if you ain't ever been to the ghetto" speech at the end certainly implies a exclusive you ain't cool unless attitude.
Look I love 90's rap, but west coast raps centered on being ghetto fabulous, and many east coast rappers repped it like it was a badge of honor.
"no matter how much loot I get, I'm staying in the projects forever"
@@qaz-fi1id I didn't take as "stay the fuck out of the ghetto" as a suggestion that outsiders aren't welcome but that they can't handle it and wouldn't fair well. The implication is "stay out of the ghetto for your own good."
@@samgod I agree thats what he meant. The whole song talked-about the hardness of poverty, I'm not even saying that the speech at the end was glorifying ghetto life at all.
So really I should have just answered no to your question, lol my bad.
But aside from this particular song there was a lot of rap that did glorify it.
You don't think so?
One of the best groups
Treach killed this track....🔥🔥🔥
Treach is one of the greatest MC's of all time 🙌🙌🙌
Truly amazing imagery: "I walked alone, my state of mind was home sweet home." His gifted style creates an image of a child walking through this street-war torn ghetto and in his young mind this was home sweet home. So many gems of wisdom in this song. Here's another of my absolute favorites: In Illtown, "pure luck" got stuck-up, "props" got shot
"Don't worry" got hit by a flurry and his punk ass dropped.
He takes colloquial phrases that attempt to placate people going through struggles and raps how they meet their demise in illtown
"Well positive aint where I live" the realest SHIT!!!
PURE HIP HOP
