All the gear in this video brings back so many memories. I graduated HS in 92. This was a beautiful time in NYC indeed. Dudes dressed like men and not fairies. Real talk!
@@BIGP1980kid It's disgusting isn't it. I can't even force myself to listen to the vast majority of this garbage these princesses are trying to pass off as Hip Hop.
He's referring to being low-key or secretive about getting or having money (although clearly telling us in the first 30 seconds of the song 😂). 'On the down Low' or 'on the DL' had quite a different meaning in the early to mid 90s than now. The Pharcyde had a song 'On the Download', Heavy D in the Pete Rock and CL Smooth song the Basement said it because it rhymed with CL. Kool G Rap on 'Edge of Sanity' as well as countless rappers from that era used On the Down, DL, keep it on the hush hush or similar sayings as slang for keeping a secret. It morphed into something else in the late 90s to 2000s.
As much as I'd love to give AG that credit, it's definitely more of an anti-prude verse than anti-rape. His message is he has no time for girls unless they're putting out. He literally says he'll kick her out if she's not down to smash. Also, funny how the song is called Fat Pockets and his verse has nothing to do with money lol.
Yea,big shout out to the BX,Paterson projects and Millbrook and edenwald projects,now a big shout out to BK,Marcy projects,Gowanas projects ,the whole Crown Hights,and Bedstuy Lincoln and Washington, St John's and classon ave this that BK & BX connection ya heard,to all my New York niggas I love yah !!!!!!
Man A's one a those dudes that keeps it mad consistent, yet always progressin. Like his flow nowadays definately sorta follows the same 'pattern' if you will.... but still stays sounding updated you know? its crazy... IMO hes the best in ditc
One of those for life songs, first time heard it when i was 13 years old, now i'm almost 30 and still banging this ill shit. Peace 2 DITC, GOATS for me

Ha! So True
True indeed we are the original style creators
Choker chains, tight pants, nail painted and diamonds used to be reserved for the ladies. Nowadays, these items are most rappers starter pack.😅😅😅

Lord Jamar was a a hero of mine until he spat the pacifier out over Eminem. He's a jealous fool 😂
I was stuck tryna remember Lakim Shabazz name when i saw him with Kid Capri @2:19 thanks

AG was so underrated
@@seanf7775 Absolutely and definitely
Im bringing that NYC look back word D.I.T.C was the hardest crew.
If this track comes on and your basic instincts don't get you vibing, this means that we are not the same .
or beat types tatse isnt the same
It's too bad Showbiz only raps on their first songs, he's friggin good!
True.
Yes sir
The 25 people who disliked this video like their pockets flat!
lol
Ha ha. No DOUBT. Fuk dem haters.
Yo, i love the positive message they puttin on here.
No doubt
bxdale8nbhyud
Back in '92 this was my shit! Big up Showbiz & A.G.. D.I.T.C. Forever.
Heard this remix New Years Eve '93. 2nd song after the ball dropped following Diamond's "That's That S--t!"
Big l was in this video black bucket brown jacket
This is still rocking!!!!!!30 years later! Showbiz and AG still one of favorite groups. Yessir!!!
th-cam.com/video/aJvcJQWUQ_E/w-d-xo.html
Word up!!!
no doubt! 💯
I really wish that this version was featured on the album. The 'horns'(?) on chorus are so hypnotic!
Love the album version tho.
Facts
Real hip-hop heads..who were diggin way bk '88-'92 them 4 yearz rocked east coast new york n new jersey were killin it.
That's true but 1994 can compete with any one of them years because everyone was dropping bombs
CLASSIC HIP-HOP still bangs almost 20 years later...
One of my favorite songs All Time!!!!
Production, and lyrically this stands the test of time. Classic of Classics!
1990's hip hop is the best positive music to feed on.
You can’t help someone unless they help themselves . FACTS!!!!
Showbiz really showed his skills as a MC.
Props to AG for his anti-rape verse. Much respect!!
Yea a good message indeed
Loud and clear
not just "anti-r_pe" but also to give a female the boot who's playing games lol
As much as I'd love to give AG that credit, it's definitely more of an anti-prude verse than anti-rape. His message is he has no time for girls unless they're putting out. He literally says he'll kick her out if she's not down to smash.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen this video and my LH is in it. Seen him about 3 times RIP MY LOVE 💔♾️
All Power To The People! AG much love from another child of a Panther mother.
Obi I see you on all the Eastcoast classic's baby!
Runaway Slave is the greatest hip hop album. Every song is dope especially Soul Clap my favorite hip hop song ever.
OHHH YEAHHH !!!
Real Hip hop 😎💯nuff said ✌🏾
Still listening at the end of 2023!✊🏿
one of the sickets rap videos of all time and jams
AG was and is still dope.
TIME MACHINE! I remember listening to this, when I moved from Syracuse to Rochester, NY in late 1992! GOOD OLD DAYS!
Where you at now .... been trying to link up u since then? 30 yrs on still trying. LOL
DANG this a golden era of hip hop!!!!
Saying Down low in the 90's got a whole different meaning that it do in the 2,000's.
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 fr😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
An Undeniable Hip Hop Classic Cut!!!
Thumbs up if you can finally sing the chorus and really mean it!
"To all the people out there sayin' "I forgot where I came from"...AND STILL LIVING LIKE BUMS!"
I miss Showbiz as a rapper.
Word!!
oh eahhh
I love the original version!!!
Runaway Slave is the illest album of the early 90s!
63 people who disliked aren't old enough or mature enough to listen to this Hip Hop Masterpiece.
The good old days was in Junior High School at the time
rocking the Army suit that was the shit back then
AG might be the most underrated rapper of all time.
This video is so sick
Yo we made the entire military uniforms look FLY💯
Yea,big shout out to the BX,Paterson projects and Millbrook and edenwald projects,now a big shout out to BK,Marcy projects,Gowanas projects ,the whole Crown Hights,and Bedstuy Lincoln and Washington, St John's and classon ave this that BK & BX connection ya heard,to all my New York niggas I love yah !!!!!!
Love how they repped the black college hoodies...
Omar Branch fat wuz da style back then
@@mikeofdc yeah we all had black college hoodies back in the day
TO ALL YOU YOUNGINS DOWN LOW MEANT YOU KEPT A LOW PROFILE BACK IN THE '90's.
Black college and Malcolm X hoodies were a big thing in the early 90s.
Always loved the black quarter Tims!
Best music video of all time. Absolutely sensational every time I play it n it’s so sick when A young Coleone turnin up. The unity❤️
