Crazy. One of the great things about TH-cam is finding huge tracks that I missed back in the day. How the hell I slept on this I don't know...!!! KRS and Jeru absolutely killing it.
Same. Crazy as an 80-90s era hip-hop fan who worked at Tower Records, seen a lot of the dudes live & was an avid Premier fan back then too. How? Better late than never.
Old is gold & beautiful relavent against the test of time...Real Hip Hop will never die..Why? Because im a real MC...MUCH LOVE TO ALL THOSE WHO INERSTAND WHAT OMAR MEANS☺
I was sleeping on his earlier music for years, because I only knew him as the "Lean Back" dude. Even though I was a kid in the 90's, and was raised on Rap and R&B.
Happy Birthday to Jeru The Damaja just turn 48 today Happy 48th Birthday Jeru The Damaja at age 48 today Happy Birthday was Born On Valentine’s Day February 14,1972 at age 48 Jeru the Damaja Born on February 14,1972 in Brooklyn New York, NY USA
He maybe was underrated for the general public, but he was always very well respected among his peers, Biggie ranked him a 10/10, he only gave that grade to Jeru and Nas
The look in the video when Jeru was hittin his part. The background it was so creative back in the day, It makes you paint a picture of new york and the hip-hop culture
Super scientifical madness my status is the baddest every time I bless the apparatus! Jeru and krs one stay on that theology science shit . Our mother who art in heaven ! .record companies don't want niggas to learn nowadays .hip hop needs a new prophet .
if new school cats want our respect... they need to collab with us and do homage joints and songs... there used to be a time when the younger mc's always paid homage and respect to the pioneers ... GOD HOW I MISS THIS ERA OF HIP HOP IN THIS VIDEO
Im still diggin in these ceates, for the last 19 years. Still unearthing new gems. This is the substance a brother was brought up with, not this new wax these rappers putting out. When this music was an art and also a classroom.
I remember when I was visiting my Dad in LA in Summer 1995 this track was requested on The Box like 7x per day, I couldn't get enough of it. I went to Sam Goody and grabbed this album (D&D Project) and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Links. Amazing era for music!
I remember when this first dropped... amazing. And nothing has changed when it plays now. Came on while I was cleaning and I just stopped and reminisced. Everyone on here did their thing!
I'm not from NY. I'm from the CHI. But man I miss the days when NY was killing the Rap Game. I miss HipHop period. Over in the Chi we thank ya'll for all the hits back in the day though. smfh at what rap has become.
oh my god! in 1995 this definitively bring me to hip hop world, I was 15 and I listen to this from my island Sardegna, on yo mtv rap, now is 2015, daaamn, my goooooooooood, it change my life!

That little ‘Bucktown’ sample before Smif N Wessun jumped on is one of the many reasons why Preemo is awesome
Fucking Facts! That part hits me everytime! Premier is Legendary!!
And jeru's one 🔥🔥 legendary
Smif N Wessun are dope AF
👊I straight up get chills everytime that Bucktown sample comes on👊 you're a real one desktopshorts
It’s so sweet… also.. “you know em well (by the name of jigga”.. hip hop comes full circle ❤️
Crazy. One of the great things about TH-cam is finding huge tracks that I missed back in the day. How the hell I slept on this I don't know...!!! KRS and Jeru absolutely killing it.
WYS🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Old Maid Billionaire? Is that you? ^_^
Facts. I never heard of this track until it popped up on the algorithm and I’m a Fat Joe fan 🔥 well this was released before I was born but still fire
You know this isn’t the original lol so there’s another one you gotta go find lol
Same. Crazy as an 80-90s era hip-hop fan who worked at Tower Records, seen a lot of the dudes live & was an avid Premier fan back then too. How? Better late than never.
"My status is the baddest every time I bless the apparatus" -Jeru
Backpacks, hoodies, fatigues, Tims, and not a man purse or tight jeans in sight. I miss this hip hop
Old is gold.
lol word
Old is gold & beautiful relavent against the test of time...Real Hip Hop will never die..Why? Because im a real MC...MUCH LOVE TO ALL THOSE WHO INERSTAND WHAT OMAR MEANS☺
Bang on
Tracks that’ll last forever
I think more like platinum...even though it doesn't rhyme
"Fall to your knees, bring fruit, ask advice
"Put your rhymes on the altar, burn them as a sacrifice
"The aroma reaches up to my nostril"
💯 🔥 💯 🔥 💯 🔥
KRS absolutely slaughters it. "Imagine how fresh I am, I made these lyrics up a year ago!"
One of the illest songs EVER put together!!!!!!
could be the best 5 minutes ever
Straight facts
YUP!!!!!
Jeru too much.
I disagree I feel like most of them fell way short
When hip hop was about bars and kicking knowledge.
Sadly new hip hop is trash
When people ask whats the difference between rap and hip hop you tell them THIS is hip hop!
Yes!
When East Coast hip-hop was at it's zenith. It will never be like that again.
tmat2016 the DJ premier mix is cool too but this just sounds right, even now in 2017. Damn, that's longevity
BIG C Bartee DJ Premier made both.
I wish you were wrong
Dope albums were dropping almost everyday...
That's word son!
The way Primo flipped the sample for this song is quite simply wonderful!
primo is a certified genius imo
The god of beats
Word!
2024 ANYONE?
I’m down
Definitely
Still hard!
Never left
Yup, every year since it dropped.
when NY was NY
Too much anachronism.
Nah go listen to GRISELDA RECORDS...
Thulsa Doom word
Ny is still in the house
@Kay Flip i feel you. But there are mc's holding it down in the N.y.c
I'm 28 years late hearing this joint but to hear Doug E. Fresh on a premo instrumental was legendary
"Bring it on if you think you can hang and if not then let me do my thang." Classic Reasonable Doubt sample.
The Cocoa B’s Bucktown intro was classic... Primo at his legendary best.
Premier in the 90s was unbelievable
Hip hop is beautiful,jeru murdered that track.
Was!
You know he misses guru
Ive listened to KRS's lyrics in this over and over again. Genius
Ahead of his time thats for sure
Straight killed it
Mad Lion's part is bananas...So take it easy! Doug E Fresh's beat box blend in with that sick bassline is craziness. Miss 90's REAL Underground rap.
KRS-One & Jeru The Damaja had the best verses! They killed it!
Here after DJ Premier « So What’s Up » 🔥🔥🔥 1️⃣,2️⃣ Pass It !! 🔥🔥🔥
krs one smashed it
@Rest in peace Big PUN ^ Agree with both.
@Jeru the GOAT my top three
yeah with a little oregano!!!xD
Crazy how 10 years before he diss a whole borough.
WYS🗣🗣🗣🗣 just saw this 🔥
RIP Sean Price, Scot La Rock, Guru, Big Pun. These dudes have lost legendary partners. Classic.
Fat Joe is a legend in this Hip Hop shit. He's been around a long time and I've witnessed it all from the beginning.
I saw him perform waaaay back in the day at a little club called The Wave in Staten Island. "You gotta flow Joe You Gotta Gotta Let'em know Joe!!"
Back when Joe was Fat and Phat
Represent still goes hard. Fat Joe is the OG and paved the way for Big Pun. Joe was the first Latino rapper to get a major record deal.
I was sleeping on his earlier music for years, because I only knew him as the "Lean Back" dude. Even though I was a kid in the 90's, and was raised on Rap and R&B.
I love how Jeru doesn't even bother trying to use the mic
Fat Joe put it down too
It just amazes me that preemo still producing beats at a high level. Simply the greatest producer to ever live
G.O.A.T.
Dre is better slightly. Personal opinion.! Respect yours though
Yessir
@@timaloys3729 Not better but another ingredient in our authentic hip hop gumbo we've been cooking since the 70s
Don't forget rza
Yoooo...Premier was so young... epic track! Back when Fat Joe was lit! Jeru👊... man....thanks for the upload..
Doug E. Fresh..KRS1...Mad Lion...Fat Joe..S&W & Jeru.... CLASSIC REAL HIP HOP.
Jeru is always on point with his Rhyme skills. KRS-ONE went hard
Happy Birthday to Jeru The Damaja just turn 48 today Happy 48th Birthday Jeru The Damaja at age 48 today Happy Birthday was Born On Valentine’s Day February 14,1972 at age 48
Jeru the Damaja Born on February 14,1972 in Brooklyn New York, NY USA
2023 still bangin'
This was apart of the D&D Studios project. Look it up, D&D Studios.
D&D All-Stars... A DJ Premiere project. ✌️
Man Jeru's content is always fascinating
+MrJesusdoesntsave Jeru is fascinating...technically sound lyrical god (scientific rap). Deadly.
He comes in at the end when you think it's over
yeah Jeru did not receive the credit that he deserved. His delivery, his content, some of the best ever.
MrJesusdoesntsave i was thinkin the same thing
He maybe was underrated for the general public, but he was always very well respected among his peers, Biggie ranked him a 10/10, he only gave that grade to Jeru and Nas
DJ Premier crazy cuts like fine wine. 2024 resurgence.👌
REAL BARS, REAL FLOW, REAL HIP HOP!!!!
Can't get any better than this
so many samples i heard in this song lol. this is amazing
Never get the 90s sound and swag back ..sad..love u 90s
Smif n Wesson murdered it
Hell yeah. I love the fuck outta that "Bucktown" sample Preemo mixed in. Gives me the chills
Who ever decided to have Fresh on this track, Salute to you, Douge Fresh You Beat Box Legend all the way from England U.K!!!
Still banging this classic in 2019!!!!
And 2021 STILL on heavy rotation. 😉
This was the absolute peek and prime of rap music. Mid 90s
2020 and I'm still representin' old school hip hop.
that instrumental is the perfect balance between minimalism, prettiness and hard hitting
Kmuri HIP HOP The Heavens Rejoiced and threw a Parade the day this dropped, because we'll never Hear such Authenticity again🏯
This is my NY shit! Missing this decade of hip hop, best ever
masterpiece by KRS-ONE
exactly. magnus opus. future old people will treat this like jazz
just-ice & krs one - moshitup...this song shows the genius of krs...like mozart or sinatra....genius
The look in the video when Jeru was hittin his part. The background it was so creative back in the day, It makes you paint a picture of new york and the hip-hop culture
I cant believe I've never heard this track until yesterday!!!!! This is that inferno flow..
R. I. P D&D studios
It's sad
David Marte they all still living
I miss that Golden Era quality and stuff coming out of D&D was the Gold Standard.
Such a sick track. Love all the Artists featured on here. Dope to see Channel Live behind KRS during his verse!
"Primo With Hypno Beat, Trance Like 👍 4 Sure Can Loop it All Day, Spiritual"
Super scientifical madness my status is the baddest every time I bless the apparatus! Jeru and krs one stay on that theology science shit . Our mother who art in heaven ! .record companies don't want niggas to learn nowadays .hip hop needs a new prophet .
I wish rappers could do like back in the days I'm 45 and I this is my favorite joint
if new school cats want our respect... they need to collab with us and do homage joints and songs... there used to be a time when the younger mc's always paid homage and respect to the pioneers ... GOD HOW I MISS THIS ERA OF HIP HOP IN THIS VIDEO
Ain't nothing but facts.
Premiere just never misses. Like ever
Summer 1995!! Amazing vibes! Blessings to you all the way from Switzerland!
DJ Premier is just on another plain
I just find the piano sample so magical it traps me into this dimension! Super well done DJ Premier!
Even tho I'm souther California west coast hip hip representative I like this old skool late 80s early 90s new York rap
So many legends in one track. This track is too good, I can't handle it
I love this song.
Jeru the damaja finished this with the sucker punch.
Debayan Banerjee I thought you start with a sucker punch?
Yeah Noble.. I reacted the same way. Ending a fight with a sucker punch is hilarious.
krs really went in on this 🔥joint
Im still diggin in these ceates, for the last 19 years. Still unearthing new gems. This is the substance a brother was brought up with, not this new wax these rappers putting out. When this music was an art and also a classroom.
Man I miss NY
NYC is still there , it’s in America 😂
I remember when I was visiting my Dad in LA in Summer 1995 this track was requested on The Box like 7x per day, I couldn't get enough of it. I went to Sam Goody and grabbed this album (D&D Project) and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Links. Amazing era for music!
This video should have WAY more views.
That bassline is lush. Like a whale head-butting a submarine.
Damn this was my shit back in the day! Wore this tape out...
I remember when this first dropped... amazing. And nothing has changed when it plays now. Came on while I was cleaning and I just stopped and reminisced. Everyone on here did their thing!
KRS killed it!
I'm not from NY. I'm from the CHI. But man I miss the days when NY was killing the Rap Game. I miss HipHop period. Over in the Chi we thank ya'll for all the hits back in the day though. smfh at what rap has become.
Y'all gave us Common Sense so thank you!!!
@@a.fontaine2722 Don't forget Lupe. But Hell yeah, NYC Hip Hop was basically indestructible during the 90's
SMIFF-N-WESSUN. I swear, their style, flow, rhymes, look... Everything about them is/was perfect.
"Imagine how fresh I am now, I made these lyrics over a year ago" -KRS
The jazz element and off timedness give it true feel
03:08 fuckin love how they flow and complement together
smif n wessun all day!!
KRS went BIBLICAL on this one...CLASSIC!
One of the most hypnotic beats ever... jazz bass mad blunted hard, from 93 til 98 everything Premier touched was gold
This beat 🔥🎼
Plus good rhymes I’m all in ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
This was the first time i heard this song and i have to say it is fucking amazing! I fucking love 90's hip hop
I miss that 90’s New York hip hop flow, with the unique sounds and different styles
“Filthy from the ground on up, when I plan my attack I doubt that ya ready”. Love the way Quasimoto flips this
Hardest posse cut ever 🗽
This is HIP HOP!!!!!!
No it isn't. Da baby, Money bag yo and Migos is hip hop fool
I remember I was like 10 years old watching this video wit some of my older homies one day. Still dope!
Sick Premier beat!
oh my god!
in 1995 this definitively bring me to hip hop world, I was 15 and I listen to this from my island Sardegna, on yo mtv rap, now is 2015, daaamn, my goooooooooood, it change my life!
It's our giorgio moroder haha
God bless italia and the azurri!
I had this CD. Never knew there was a video. Lol
smif n wessun was my niggaz back then......Jeru too 💯
Skinny Preemo with the phat beats. Damn!! :)
Another hip-hop classic!
Man, these East cats got it spewin' when it come to passin' the message on the mic 💯💯💯💯
The 90s is a breath of real lyrics.
On a reminiscing spree and this track is disgusting: Mad Lion sets it off, Doug, KRS, into Tek/Steele and Jeru for the blessing. Fkn beautiful.
Still one of the most insane lineups ever, especially in retrospect
Krs is dope as fuck!!🔥🔥🔥🔥1994 shit
One of the dopest beats and gathering of nice MC's to ever be recorded!
Somethings can never be replicated.
Some things is two words 😂
I've heard all those fellas through the years and that good hip hop
this is so good. i always think why isn't music like this today... but you can't recreate that stuff now.
