    I was born in 98 so I can't speak on what it was like to have lived through these times but I have listened to a shit ton of 90's hip hop and I feel like this song embodies this era better than about any other song I've heard from this era. Idk what it is..the flow, the beat but it just so perfectly feels nostalgic and captures this era's sound! I love the collaboration between all these incredible artists to just rip this track too. I feel that the progression during the 90's were beyond its years so much so that since then we've regressed as a society as well as hip hop's state. I'll always come back to these gems. God bless the 90's!

    • @lyfsabych

      As someone who grew up in this era, I'd say it's because all of the artists represent the diversity of hip hop styles at the time.
      Mad Lion = reggae dancehall-hop
      Doug = the party rapper and bearboxer and the OG at the time
      KRS = intellectual teacher
      Joe = east coast gangster/drug dealer
      S&W = gutter and grimy realness
      Jeru = afrocentric

      What happened to hip-hop is what happened to society as a whole -- those were young men raised in an environment that no longer exists. It's not even so much that the evil record companies are pushing brain dead garbage onto the masses anymore (though they are doing that), you just have whole generations of brain dead illiterates with 5-second attention spans. And neanderthal mumble rap is all they are capable of...

    I know, I know, I know, I can't explain
    My copper shot just blow their brain
    Who are the man with the gun inna his hand
    Step up on the scene like Captain Caveman
    You want the music everybody scream louder
    Lick pure shot and smell the gun powder

    The crowd be jumpin' up for me, the people are waitin' up on me
    To enter the stage in a rage, Mad Lion's out the cage
    Now it's time for me to engage, uhh
    And bear witness, the lyrical fitness
    The jumps, the dives, the leaps, are you gettin' this?
    Next to step up, microphone check up
    KRS-ONE, so come and get your wreck up
    [Verse 3: KRS-ONE]
    Our mother who art in Heaven
    Number seven is the weapon
    With the God, yes, I'm steppin'
    Lyrically I'm never beggin', you know
    I'm the difference between indo and oregano
    Imagine how fresh I am now, I made these lyrics up a year ago
    So, report back it was fat, fit, all that, quick
    Pump that, drop the S-hit, I'm lyrically physically fit
    Catch me buggin' on the mic, every day and every night
    Every hour, every second, man, it don't stop, get it, get it
    Yes, admit it when I'm way up in it
    You can't hide 'cause my radar's goin' bibip bibip bibip
    I reside in the watchtower, watchin' MCs land
    Your career will be as short as my part in "Who's The Man"
    Goddamn, I'm the pinnacle, yes, the metaphysical
    Come to you as the rap god of lyrical syllable
    Fall to your knees, bring fruit, ask advice
    Put your rhymes on the altar, burn 'em as a sacrifice
    The aroma reaches up to my nostril, I get hostile
    Your lyrics are stiff like David Koppel
    Yes, Premier rocks the track on time
    KRS-ONE with off of the top of the head rhyme
    Yeah, Fat Joe, you know you gotta flow
    My man Doug E Fresh down with the one called KRS
    We got the mad MCs up in the D&D
    I'm out, G
    [Verse 4: Fat Joe]
    Yeah!
    Motherfuckers know who's the best
    If it ain't Fat Joe, then it must be Lord Finesse
    Think not? Then show what you got
    But don't grab this mic, the shit's too hot
    I'm the born killer, nigga from the Bronx
    Rappers talk shit but there's really no comp
    Bring it on if you think you can hang
    And if not, then let me do my thing
    Yeah, so Smif-n-Wessun if you're down with me
    Represent one time on the M-I-C
    [Verse 5: Smif-n-Wessun]
    Mr. Ripper, get your gear and prepare for war
    Mr. Vickster, you ain't gotta tell me no more
    'Cause what I see on the daily deals with reality
    So, come follow we on this journey
    Through Brooklyn
    Where the crooks dwell in the projects overlookin'
    In the form of the streets, you know them well
    Bet your ass this grass is greener
    Than a 20 sack of sensimila bought straight from Medina
    You know the vibe when Smif-n-Wessun twist up the Thai
    Peace to my people in the Ville, peace to my heads in the Stuy
    We do or die, we test your stamina
    So, any challenger, we pass the motherfucker off to the Damaja
    [Verse 6: Jeru the Damaja]
    Super scientifical madness
    My status is the baddest every time I bless the apparatus
    You wish to take me out, so you study
    Meanwhile my clothes, mics and foes are left bloody
    Cruddy, filthy from the ground on up
    When I plan my attack, I doubt that you're ready
    Rain on competition like razor sharp confetti
    Kung Fu techniques from the perverted monastery
    Sifu Ru manipulates the microphone
    And rhymes like bullets penetrate your zone
    See, we bring more drama than Kevin Costner
    No, I'm not Jamaican, but, yes, I'm a Rasta

      "you will never hear this type of hip hop again from the new MAINSTREAM rappers ever".there is a lot of artists out there that are keeping real boom bap alive.ON PRINCIPLE!theres cats that categorically refuse to intermingle with anything even remotely "modernized",pop-ish,soft,rnb,trap....and on a lyrical front theyre not just content with replicating what niggas from the 90s were doing.they vowed to surpass it (as it should be).we all complain bout the state of hip hop and reminisce about the golden days but....we are at the same time guilty of not supporting (with our wallets) the very people who are on the frontlines battling for the preservation of the artform and the culture.its our duty to do so.do your part,sniff out real hip hop and support it!
