@@VicR914 It amazes me how the relevance of some things seems to be (in some cases) ...eternal. In the case of contemporary reality--does it mean that things will continue to get worse and worse for Black America? 🤷🏾♀️
Sure! I guess I bought Flying records vinyl when I was a kid in 1992. This, the young Ice Cube in Boyz 'n da Hood... De La Soul with Saturday Morales remix, Will Smith with Jazzy Jeff, Queen la Tifah with Unity, US 3 with Cantaloop, Digable Planets with The Feme Fetale... Just another world.
Lyrically, i rate him above Biggie or Jay Z or any other. The only ones on his level for depth are 2pac, Nas, Ice Cube, Chuck D amongst the more well known. He was too dangerous for mainstream and never sold out.
Yeah, I’m 58 and I’ve lost a couple of best friends. I just miss the days of old when you knew your whole neighborhood and people were really friends. Also the neighborhoods were safe and everybody looked out for each other. THE DAYS OF OLD SAD 😞
Makes me want to cry ...... So much meaning & authenticity .... You can kiss this type of stuff goodbye this day and age ... Miss the days of old ......
This song often does make me cry brah. Reminds me of some of the best times of my life when this tune was playing and the memories of the lads who were there that aren't anymore (I fucking miss my boys so much), also takes you back to the period when hip hop like this was a gold standard. It's a hella nostalgic melody/sample. Just transports you back to a better time. Much love from Australia my brother!! Peace!!
" Kings and Queens were the names of the righteous But the sons of slaves are insane and we might just Self-destruct and erupt without a chance to grow This ain't the days of old" ✊🏾
THISSS is what you call "TIMELESS" music! I have so many child hood memories this song brings back to me. I'm 45 now but when this dropped my BigBroski Mont played HS basketball for the Mifflin Punchers.. his buddy Damien who also played on the team would come stay the night 9/10x after Varsity games and me my ma bro and step pops would order pizza. Fun ass times he would even stay up when my bro passed out playing "Super Mario Bros" 🤣 man what fun times that dude just didn't know how much i appreciated that shit! Paris was so underrated imo..
I love this song this bring tears to my eyes.. this is exactly how we grew up.. Ive been shot up and shot people up sometimes I can't believe I'm still alive.. I remember being a teenager times was no joke in New York City! And it's still like that!! Life is precious stay outta trouble! My name is SYNA like SINNA from Arlington Staten Island NEW York City! Hahahaha!
I remember listening to this when I was 16, getting nostalgic for being a little kid. Now in my 40s, i get nostalgic, sometimes, for being a teenager. I think I know how I'll feel when I'm in my 60s and so on (God willing) Make your days count everyone! Make your days worth missing, and enjoy what you got right now!
COLINNNNNN!!! You're speaking to my soul💯💯💯 I'm 46, and although I'm sure most ppl probably feel that their childhood was the best, you and I truly DID come up during one of the greatest times... It's a little sad to me, that if I even attempted to try and explain all the things that MADE it so special to a kid growing up today, they literally wouldn't just not be ABLE to be able to process the issues and subjects I'd speak about--they wouldn't CARE. I hope one day, the circular nature of life, brings hip hop back to where it was in the 90s... It might not have been perfect, but at least it felt like we were TRYING to figure it all out, as we went! (You and I are now "old heads" it seems) Had to take a second to say #SALUTE to your comment... Made my entire day💯👊💯 Stay blessed bro Love & light 🙏❤🙏
Memorable song. If I remember correctly it came out in ‘93 and I was sophomore in HS. I always remembered the end of the video where all the black bodies were zipped up in body bags cuz another black man took their life. It was a strong message.
Another classic from an overlooked, underknown west coast early 90's legend. Man he spit fire back in the days. Not just great lyrics but also boight social issues & problems of the times. Young rappers need to study this, as well as many many real hip-hop pioneers from mid 80's thru early 2000's. Before the rap artform turned to commercial, contentless Bullshit
I remember listening to this and all of Paris album's in the Bronx, we loved Paris. All of us cats with knowledge love him and very happy to hear more of the brother. PEACE!!
Man I had this taped off Power 99 late 92 into 93. Raw West coast shit getting play in Ohilly. I had Paris first album. White teen who loved hip hop during the golden era. This song is about as deep as it gets-just incredible music back then. G Thang was bubbling around the same time and things were about to go in the G funk direction and the political/social conscious hip hop (Native Tongues, PE, Paris, X Clan, etc) would soon fade unfortunately
Paris!! Damn i feel nobody remembers him anymore. I was young teen kid from Finland early 90’s and i loved Paris lol. He got poliyical lyrics and i understood them a little ,but i was fell in love on his beats. Those tracks are like Rahhhh!!
First heard this on Yo MTV RAPS , bought the cassette the following week in Tower Records Glasgow in 1992 , still packs a punch to this day 🏴✌️🏴
This was at the height of gang violence from Oakland to Compton folks was getting smoked on a daily ‼️😔 so many young men and woman didn't get to see 25!!!!!!! 💔
The feds/the government & police was behind all that & they was doing all the set up & paying bills to killll blks like they do the rappers & then make up some gang stories when there the ones behind it all … it’s deep believe it or not.
Can't believe this video doesn't have 450 billion views. The video and song together hits close to home big-time! Paris's lyrics are phenomenal. Takes me back to a time where I trusted rappers over our political leaders any day. And that was a good 30 years ago. Can't say I trus too many rappers nowadays though.
This is magic. I didnt understand the Lyrics as a child, but i felt it. Paris, you where a Hero in our little village in Germany. Watchers it now and im touched again. Thanks you for bringing your energy to the world

Coffee Donuts And Death is also a realistic track by Paris. More raw.
Me
if you hear this legend in 2022,
you're a legend too👌
Don't know why but all of a sudden I got the urge to hear this song so I looked up the video and here I am
How come Paris is not widely considered one of the greatest ever ?
This guy is legend and this tune is a masterpiece
Lyrically, i rate him above Biggie or Jay Z or any other. The only ones on his level for depth are 2pac, Nas, Ice Cube, Chuck D amongst the more well known. He was too dangerous for mainstream and never sold out.
One of the deepest raps ever.
Back when rapp had a message.. Those were the days of old.
The 90's was the dopest decade for music ever
Nothing will ever be as good... so sad
Yeah, I’m 58 and I’ve lost a couple of best friends. I just miss the days of old when you knew your whole neighborhood and people were really friends. Also the neighborhoods were safe and everybody looked out for each other. THE DAYS OF OLD SAD 😞
True bro
😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Days of old ain't so good but the same now
This song turned 30 years today.
Thank you for making me feel old.

😢💔💔💔
I don't make every song positive but I be saying some shit.
That’s shit still a classic in October 2024 🔥🔥🔥
Greatest rap video of all time. This video is still relevant today to bad nobody listened to the message.
Paris - One of the most slept on Legends
Why does nobody famous mention him!?
Or king sun
Too BLACK too STRONG
Because he was kicking that REAL ish and that’s not what the powers that be was trying to promote…unfortunately.
Paris is one the GOATS of hip hop. Legend!
I remember when this video came out in the fall of 1992 and I was a senior in high school. It's 2024 and this song still remain relevant.
Wurd. It definitely is. 🥂💯👍🏽💣🎯
" Kings and Queens were the names of the righteous
But the sons of slaves are insane and we might just
Self-destruct and erupt without a chance to grow
This ain't the days of old" ✊🏾
Been listening to this, since 1993 😉
Paris is still relevant in 2018. 👊🏾✌🏾
2018 - 2019 👊👊👊 respect to París and West Coast 🇲🇽🇲🇽
This video is so real
“I ain’t pro human cause all humans ain’t pro black” ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
You know it. ✊🏾
Facts!🔥
So glad i stumbled upon this classic
Paris just had a birthday yesterday on October 29th , happy belated birthday, homes.
Harlem New York here ,this song got lost in all the madness going on in the 90s real shit right here .
hbukh jhbui it wasn’t lost so much. I remember this album being popular back then when I got it on vinyl. I think he didn’t follow up in a big way
This is one of my favorite joints. 90s rap use to hit hard💪🏾
THISSS is what you call "TIMELESS" music! I have so many child hood memories this song brings back to me.

this song playing at the playground after diquan ratted out ben in strapped was one of the most simple but eye opening scenes to me.
I love this song this bring tears to my eyes.. this is exactly how we grew up.. Ive been shot up and shot people up sometimes I can't believe I'm still alive..

this deserves so much more recognition
Peace to the black panther of hip hop, the hard truth soldier soldier,i'm a huge fan since sleeping with the enemy album, mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
You suck on black culture but don't love black people in north Africa. Fuck algeria
real music never dies💯✌🏾❤️
25 yrs later this song is still relevant frfr
Facts 💯
Even more .. !
Super serious tune 👌🏾
This song speaks volumes way life is now
1992 yes this was so dope
Remember the back side of the Album with a plane flying into the White House or was it the front?
Damn, this song is so damn relevant to what is going on today. Crazy!
Paris should recieve an award for this song.
Daniel Lambert Several.
your recognition is the award :)
Real shit a Grammy
As should Dana Dane for his classic Chester Chester
Donald Byrd & The Blackbyrds - Mysterious Vibes
AWLREDDY MANE!
Best rap song of 2023
Factz!
This song has more meaning now than ever so sad
Not to sound week but I just started 😢
I remember listening to this when I was 16, getting nostalgic for being a little kid.
Now in my 40s, i get nostalgic, sometimes, for being a teenager.
I think I know how I'll feel when I'm in my 60s and so on (God willing)
Make your days count everyone! Make your days worth missing, and enjoy what you got right now!

@@jeffwischhof5752 I'm glad that as a 16 year old I have the chance to listen to these masterpieces that my friends don't understand
i like this song since my 27 years i have now 57 ... hi from france peace and love.
I missed the Days of Old when rap had messages that meant something to us💔💔🥺
Nothing has changed. This song is just as relevant today as it was when it came out. 1:34 - 1:48.
Words that resonate even in 2023
Songs like this make a grown man cry so real so relevant
AMEN!
This song needs more credit that what it receives
Memories Of The Old-School Era!!!🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
The most under appreciated rap song
This generation needs these kind of message in hip hop.
"Kings and queens were the names of the righteous but sons of the slaves are insane so they might just...." POWERFUL.
Almost 30 years later and I cannot listen to this song or watch the video without getting teary-eyed. #classic
Paris song is still relevant now we need music like this again to touch the youth
Couldn'T agree more!
When everybody was listening to NWA, I had Paris in my tape deck
I had em both two decks fool
The lost black race needs to pay attention to this beautiful educational knowledgeable record.
The definition of a timeless classic
Memorable song. If I remember correctly it came out in ‘93 and I was sophomore in HS. I always remembered the end of the video where all the black bodies were zipped up in body bags cuz another black man took their life. It was a strong message.
THIS BEAT IS SO DAMN COLD,IT COULD FREEZE FIRE
This joint is deep....
As fuuuuck
Another classic from an overlooked, underknown west coast early 90's legend. Man he spit fire back in the days. Not just great lyrics but also boight social issues & problems of the times. Young rappers need to study this, as well as many many real hip-hop pioneers from mid 80's thru early 2000's. Before the rap artform turned to commercial, contentless Bullshit
the beat is beautiful
Blackbryds sample
Enchanting...
Yet another embodiment on how powerful Hip-Hop can be. This should be at millions of views.
This needs to be blasted across the nation on every radio station and social media. Listen up black men!!
I remember listening to this and all of Paris album's in the Bronx, we loved Paris. All of us cats with knowledge love him and very happy to hear more of the brother. PEACE!!
AMEN!
That's dope, much love from Oakland.
Man this sums up what's going on behind the smokescreen for today in 2020. One luv to Paris

That '90's feeling!!!!!!
I haven't heard this joint since 95
This has to be in the top ten greatest hip hop songs
2020 and still relevant

Extremely underrated !!!
Real Shit Memories Of the Oldschool Era 1992"🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
Paris BEEN speaking the truth.
Just watched strapped 1993 film and heard this playing in the background had to look it up. Strong message on this track 💯💯
Paris!! Damn i feel nobody remembers him anymore. I was young teen kid from Finland early 90’s and i loved Paris lol. He got poliyical lyrics and i understood them a little ,but i was fell in love on his beats. Those tracks are like Rahhhh!!

I miss the days when

Paris spit this song Beautifully...timeless music!!

PARIS and his dancers absolutely tore it up at Heiro Day in Oakland about 4 years ago!!! It was so freakin hype!!! True Legend!!!
I hope i will see him live one day too!
So relevant today. I miss those days, #90s
This was at the height of gang violence from Oakland to Compton folks was getting smoked on a daily ‼️😔 so many young men and woman didn't get to see 25!!!!!!! 💔
The feds/the government & police was behind all that & they was doing all the set up & paying bills to killll blks like they do the rappers & then make up some gang stories when there the ones behind it all … it’s deep believe it or not.
Deep 😢
Life means nothing when the heart is cold..
