Yo, I was just saying this to myself, straight up! They won't though. They want us to continue living this type of lifestyle to weaken our communities.
Dear mama celebrate mothers, be a father to ur child is a song for dead beat dads being sonned by good fathers, they need to play that in court to niggas who owe child support money
Because it’s not considered cool or trendy but more proof is that what’s evil is now being called good and good evil. God warned us and he continues to do so.
That was before the infamous music industry mogul secret meeting, where they decided to push "gangster rap" and destabilize the foundations of the Black family in America.
This song has got to be the realist song ever made for hip-hop!! Ed O.G., you made a timeless classic that will never be forgotten! That's more respect than any platinum plaque can ever offer!!
I was in high school about to have my first beautiful daughter. It's still inspirational to this day. "Let him, don't sweat him dude, let him do the job you couldn't do." Hit me hard and made me realize as a boy that if I didn't step up and be a man someone else would. That's strong shit.
HANDS DOWN, THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN HIP HOP. More important and powerful then Black Liberation because this is a ever lingering problem in the Black and minority community.
Its not about black destruction so no the radio will not play this. In fact..its because of songs like this they had to kill real hip hop. Look at what they replaced it with...
This real hip hop right here.....not the noise they now put out in 2019. No wonder society is now so dis functioned and fucked up. You are a summary of what you listen to........and this 2019 hip hop dish out mostly crap.
This song is off the 1991 album "Life of a Kid in the Ghetto". I was so glad to find this album on Amazon Music. Conscious Hip-Hop was popular back in the 80's and early to mid 90's. This kind of Hip-Hop used to be all over mainstream radio when I was a kid. What the heck happened?
Concious hip hop, whatever people think that is, has never left. It just evolved into other forms and subtly dropped into some mainstream artists. We wouldn't have our Kendricks and Chances without these positive message songs...Yeah its easy to see why people feel we must return to this style of music but I like the fact that we are past it too. Makes this kinda hip hop seem more special when you look back on it. Not saying new hip hop isn't shitty. I just think there is something to appreciate in every era
because they don't do it like this anymore and its not popular. shame. I put that on the artists. run that back! stop talkin bout money and hoes and get back to the real
Honestly.. Its by default the artists fault but dont forget... Corperate medias agenda to control OUR conscious our music our relationships has been a top priority. Humans are like Sheep.. They close doors so we go thru only the doors they choose.
On Some Real Talk Single Mother's Can't Raise Sons To Be Men and Single Father's Can't Raise Daughters To Be Women That's Why It's Always Important To Allow God To Bless You With Someone To Help You Out In Life. 💯
2019! I miss the messages of the 90's. Todays kids think it was all about NWA, Luke, Biggie, & snoop! I like Naw, that's that pop shit. In real hip-hop we had ART! And levels to the music. It everything. BUT, the most important thing was we always had music with a message!
"Put yourself in his position and see what you're done But just keep in mind that you're somebody's son How would you like it if your father was a stranger And then tried to come into your life and tried to change The way your mother raised ya?"
I always come back to this video every Father’s Day cause my dad was never there for me and I think that this song perfectly sums it up. Happy belated Father’s Day to the fathers out there that’s present in their children’s lives fr 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Man I miss my dad hella. I was in high school when he showed me this song he was born in 1972. I was about 14 then I’m 23 now and I listen to this song all the time now. Makes me sad that this style will die out mfs are to hard to listen to conscious rap nowadays. I like all rap though so ig I don’t mind it. This is a klassic. RIP pops :/
Before they started building privately owned prisons and telling the Ceos of record companies to tell their artist to rap about a lifestyle that will send the youth to jail or the grave
This is so brilliant, one of my all time favorites. Always loved those hip hop songs with a saxophone in it (U.N.I.T.Y. / T.R.O.Y. / Back To The Hotel / ...), this organic sound has so much heart and soul and when there is also a good message involved it is Hip Hop how it should be.
A (new) song, like this would never get played on the radio! 📻 Other than for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Old School Day, or whatever! FucKing - idiots!!!! 💀😵🔫👈👿
We all know why this doesn’t have a million views after all this time lol it’s crazy but shout out to people looking for the positivity hip hop has 💪🏾💯
I appreciate my father for always being there for me all my life including today. Much love to you dad! Also R.I.P. to my mother. My parents stayed together for the good & bad times all the way until my mother passed & that's real! Great hip hop video from back in the day also by the way, I wish we could have these type of messages in rap music today.
Miss when songs like this were made and it created balance. This is a song that needs to be played more, OG’s 35 & up play this for the youngsters ever now and then please. They need it
One of the realest songs of all time. I love you Cyprion, you and your mother. Always and forever, pass the moon and beyond the stars Son. Thank you for giving me my son too tasia aka babe. Aye Cy, You still suck in call of duty tho 😂😂😂
I'm a single father of a 9 yr old daughter,& 6yr old son,and haven't talked to they mom in over two yers!I listened to this before I even had kids,I couldn't picture my life without mine!!!
" put yourself in his position and see what you done but just keep in mind that you're somebody's son" that's keeping it 100 right there hip hop unfortunately isn't like this anymore it used to be about morals and telling a story now it's just "bitches hoes cars rims money" no wonder this new generation is so fucked up and 12 dislikes really shows this generation is losing their taste in music

dont you wish hip-hop was like this today.
When you hear these songs you know hip hop has lost it's meaning. Hip hop was guidance, advice and a way of life...its all about the money now...
Real talk
Agreed....
+straightsix306 right
straightsix306 preach! I say this every time I hear some of this new junk 🙏
+Robert Smith ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THEY'D BE MAKING MUSIC THAT PEOPLE LOVE SO IT CAN SELL MORE.
They need to play this shit on the radio every Father's Day. Just like they play Dear Momma every Mother's Day.
Keep it 100

Reel spill
This a father's day anthem
Yep
It still amazes me why none of these moral, positive speaking videos and songs haven't reached over a million yet.
Because it’s not considered cool or trendy but more proof is that what’s evil is now being called good and good evil. God warned us and he continues to do so.
Back when Hip Hop songs came with a positive message
Pretty Ricky they still do
Not all of em had such a thing tbh, still love tracks like this
And they were fun to listen to , not annoying and senseless
That was before the infamous music industry mogul secret meeting, where they decided to push "gangster rap" and destabilize the foundations of the Black family in America.
91 era was dope
That sax though 🔥🔥🎷🎷
The one and only Roy Ayers
Word 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎷🔥
It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥👏
This is what rap music is supposed to sound like
This entire album was excellent. 1991 was a great year for HipHop.
Sure was....sure was-the years, they fly by, smh...
90’s period was a great decade in Hip Hop
I’m surprised that this album didn’t get as much praise as Nas Illmatic or Tribe called Quest’s low End theory back in the day’s.
This is still the jam. That horn break on the chorus.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO IN HIP HOP HISTORY, PERIOD.
Word Up
This song has got to be the realist song ever made for hip-hop!! Ed O.G., you made a timeless classic that will never be forgotten! That's more respect than any platinum plaque can ever offer!!
back when hiphop had a meaning
I was in high school about to have my first beautiful daughter. It's still inspirational to this day. "Let him, don't sweat him dude, let him do the job you couldn't do." Hit me hard and made me realize as a boy that if I didn't step up and be a man someone else would. That's strong shit.
Salute
Class of 92
They dont make songs like this no more! Throwback classic!!🔥👑🔥
Shout out to those who didn't have a father figure in their life; who are still holding it down and progressing with their lives.
I’m one of those people. Thanks once again.
Classic. Ed O G was slept on
+Louis Thomas RIGHT!
A damn shame.
Songs like this will always be relevant
The truth never expires

Its not about black destruction so no the radio will not play this. In fact..its because of songs like this they had to kill real hip hop. Look at what they replaced it with...
On god
The song is still relevant in 2024.
Relevant *then* and Relevant *NOW*

Absolutely. 👊💯

this that real shyt...100% ol school rap rip we miss u.
Got full custody of my daughter a year ago…took a long time but I didn’t give up. Respect to all the fathers trying to keep the bond strong!
Congrats big dawg!
Right on brotha
So your child doesn’t need their mother? Full custody isn’t a flex without explaining why the mom doesn’t have shared custody
@hello_04
You aren't owed an explanation.
Hip Hop Music is to uplift and educate. Much respect to Ed O G. I am a father to my children.
This is NOT just a rap!, its a message to all the men who are becoming fathers of their children out there!
The cat playing the saxophone is tight :-))))))
You do know already that it's a sample from Roy Ayers and not the guy in the video.
YES, HE IS!!!!
DOPE!!!!
@@reggbrown5274 the crazy ass sax ain't from the roy ayers song, the rest of the beat is

I'M GLAD GOT ME A REAL FATHER , WORD IS BOND !
who's still listening 2018
Can’t believe I’m 28 and this is my first time hearing this song.. this is REAL RAP this is what hip hop was supposed to be like 💯
Roy Ayers - "Searchin"
Yep! Amerie used that song too on "Rolling Down My Face", on her "Touch" album, back in '05. 😊
I couldn't remember that sound fo nothing...thanx, I knew I heard that sound b4 somewhere..
The remix uses the exact same sax sample, just a different part...
I Just Found Out That This Group Sampled This From Roy Ayers
Have no idea how my brain thought this up and I'm 40 now LONG LIVE THE 90S!!!🔥❤️🎶🎶🎶 Music with a message!
This is the hip hop that I remember!!! Yes!
Man what
Happy Fathers Day to all the Father's out there that are actually present in their kids lives . Ya'll are appreciated
Ed OG and the Bulldogs should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
We need more of this kind of music.
Lyfe Jennings
They should do one deal beat mothers
Yes we do
Its funny that critics of Hip Hop never reference songs like this when they're lamenting about it being violent and misogynistic.
because they don't do it like this anymore and its not popular. shame. I put that on the artists. run that back! stop talkin bout money and hoes and get back to the real
prime example^^
Honestly.. Its by default the artists fault but dont forget... Corperate medias agenda to control OUR conscious our music our relationships has been a top priority. Humans are like Sheep.. They close doors so we go thru only the doors they choose.
Ditto.. The problem isn't this..The problem is today's GAR BAJ..
The irony is that this song or the group never blew up or made it mainstream for the critics to bring up.
Wow I use to love this song the 90s was no joke I miss those days 😞
Aside from 2pac, This guy has wisdom. Respect!
They don't do music like THIS ANYMORE 😪 😭😭😭😭🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️
when hip hop was real
One of my favorite 90’s songs...I know my daddy wasn’t perfect but he tried his best and I will always love him for that 👨🏻💼
Alot of rappers made dope songs within this era and at the time there was hardly anyone I didn't like. Lol

every time I here this song I be like dam what happened to hip hop and positive messages
When hip hop was life and had a soul.
"Put yourself in his position and see what you're done
But just keep in mind that you're somebody's son
How would you like it if your father was a stranger
And then tried to come into your life and tried to change
The way your mother raised ya?"

Still listening to this in 2020 peace and love to all
To bad many of my generation didn't mind the message and the Sax sends chills through me.
I bet this song shifted some men's minds back in the day. Hip HOp used to have a message with the music sometimes.

I feel bad for people who think rap/hip hop is all about drugs, violence, and derogatory remarks.
Thanks for posting music from a legend.
How many would make a song like this today in the hood or in gospel music? This song step on many toes from the pullpit to the prisons.
This is so weird. I forgot about Ed OG & the Bulldogs yet I remember all the lyrics.

This Is Officially The REALEST Hip Hop Song Ever Made !
This song and video touched my heart and very relatable to my life. I had no father there for me. Best understanding message.
Elijah E you’re not alone playboy
I Decide to post this song on fathers day it has good meaning they should make more songs with positive messages like this today

Some of the most powerful and meaninful lyrics in hip hop..an essential to say the very least about this magnificent gem.
This Doesn't have A Million views Why.....Now that is insane
When rappers could be positive and not be labeled corny
I Love this song ....there are woman thats on this earth that dont wont the dad to be in the child life
+Troy Blue all those dads can get fill out one paper and get rights. no woman on this earth can stop that.no excuses.
Troy Blue exactly!
Then: How to have fun and be a man,
Now: How to become a monster and self destruct.
Nothing in rap today can compare to this! At least not on the radio!
