Ed O.G. is certified dope. Whole debut album is a worthy listen. Btw: Now, that I consider it, when I see Commom or hear him flow especially in his early days, I see Ed O.G. all over the place. Thoughts?
@@floyd27860 That's true but that's how NY radio stations were back then. You would never hear them play rap music from people who weren't from NY. I would mostly hear this song when they played the video on Yo MTV Raps.
This was my joint when I was 21 working in a McDonald’s to pay off my trade school bill being told my the managers to shut up when reciting the lyrics while frying the McNuggets. lol lol lol Peace, everybody from Brooklyn.
@Rap Life Thank you, from the cranky old man of rap. Different styles. And subject matter that meant something. And this video has normal people from around the way, not models and strippers
It died back after the turn of the millennium. I still watch them old school movies like Beat Street, Style wars, Krush Groove, The Freshest Kids, The Warriors, Juice, Clockers, New Jersey Drive just to get that grimy east coast vibe.
Ed O.G is one of the most underrated rappers in history yet In BeanTown he is an unbelievable legend! GURU/Gangstar and Ed O.G and the Bulldogs were everything round these parts when I was a kid. RIP GURU.
@@TheOlskool4ever Yeah, still good music being made, but they're took the most trash stuff and propped it up as the face of what hip hop is today. "Black people...Stay high, blow money and fuck someone else's bitch." "Black people, haha I blow more money than you'll ever see but cop my album please."
I have lived here in Boston for 14 years . Ed -og. And Bulldogs , And New Edition lived 30 minutes from my city of Quincy Massachusetts. Times are different now I had this CD way . back in my high school years in the 1990s.... 📻 🎵🎶
+Garion Bush glad I read your comment mate cos I just heard this in a mix and came here to save it for later, didnt really listen to the lyrics so much though. Glad I re-listened though cos he says a lot in so few lines. Check this mix btw if you like 90s hip hop (I'm not affiliated with it at all btw): www.mixcloud.com/brooklynradio/hip-hop-history-1991-mix/ There's one for every year - the 1994 one is best for me. Though the 1995 has some gems as well (braggrin Writes - J Live).
These verses alone simply destroys these new weak prissy dressing mumble rappers. This song is as dope as it gets. It's just one of them joints that you can't hate and gotta respect✊✊✊✊✊
I might have already commented on this joint but this is one of the most well crafted songs that Hip Hop has ever seen. This came out when I was 15 and it’s still just as dope as it was when I first heard it.
Thanks man... Yes hè was also from Boston. Grow up listening to Gangstarr. My 1st joint was "just 2get a rep" back in 91' n neva stoped since then. Peace out from Holland cause Holland loves G.U.R.U 2
Underrated and slept on. I was living in New England back when this dropped so I was lucky enough to know bout these guys. Record label didn't promote them correctly.
For me it don't matter when you're born, its all about don't stop that hip hop, people who grew up on this know we're all human and gotta die one day, you young cats gotta keep this music alive for the next generations.
Still getting goosebumps when listening to it. & I remember recording all the YoTV Raps stuff with my beloved tape deck connected to the TV, cause we finally had cable tv and it was like rap heaven to me... Props from Germany and stay safe guys
The Beantown national anthem🤣. After living on Intervale street for many years I thought this song was corny. Now listening to it 30 years later, this has got to be the ultimate jam for the town. It still sounds good 30 years later.
Boston baby! 👌🏽back in the day when I was a kid on the 23 bus with the walkman and more tapes than books in my backpack 😂 classic hip hop str8 from the Bean. Salute!
It's been 30 years since the lp "Life of a kid in the ghetto" masterpiece!! one of the most beautiful records in the history of HIP HOP !! .. proudly in my vinyl collection !! However no matter how it went .. a B BOY is forever ... Pace from Rimini, Italy CIAO!! ✌️
What a great hip hop track! Back in the days, this was one of the favorite tracks to bump to in your jeep. Taking me back to high school. A New York shout out to Boston!
Yea I remember being about 5or 6 years old back in 1992 and my uncle jamming out to this classic song doing his high school work. But thing i was so young I didn't understand how great of a classic it was at the time you know.
I met Ed O Gee and Skyzoo back around 2011& 2013..I.met both Dope Hip hop artist at Underground Hip hop in Boston no longer open here. Ed-OGee lives her in Boston. The Only Hip Hop store open is Fat Beats records in Down town L.A , California

Got to meet him a few weeks ago in Germany at a concert. Must humble and nicest guy. A true old skool rock star.
Ed O.G. is certified dope. Whole debut album is a worthy listen. Btw: Now, that I consider it, when I see Commom or hear him flow especially in his early days, I see Ed O.G. all over the place. Thoughts?

Real talk bro true story
One of the dopest jams ever. Back when it was dope to be smart!!
Real talk so true smh
Right!
In Queens, Ny it would only play after hours. Saturday nights on Underground stations
@@floyd27860 That's true but that's how NY radio stations were back then. You would never hear them play rap music from people who weren't from NY. I would mostly hear this song when they played the video on Yo MTV Raps.
Big facts....

One of most timeless hip hop songs ever. Never sounds dated.
A timeless joint no doubt.
Fa real, my brother

Nuff said
One of my favorite joints! Most kids today will never understand what Real Hip-Hop was and meant to those of us that grew up in the Golden Era.

Guess I'm the lucky few🙂 early 30s here and Edo is one of my favorite MCs ever. Masta Ace is my all time favorite so that should tell you something
Ed O.G is one of the most underrated rappers in history yet In BeanTown he is an unbelievable legend! GURU/Gangstar and Ed O.G and the Bulldogs were everything round these parts when I was a kid. RIP GURU.
I wish mainstream and hip hop fans would gave him more props and support when he came out.
Straight FACTS!!! 👍👍💪💪💯
I.m still trembling with music in the background decades,later
Timeless music. 91 was a great year for rap
Yessir
Whole Album Was On Repeat In 91. I was 24
I was 12 bro.👍🏿👊🏿💯
"Black people unit and let's all get down." When's the last time you heard that on a rap song!
I'm not black and I respect the living hell outta that line.
Dead Prez
Back when rap belong to the people. Now, white corporate america controls hip hop.
@@TheOlskool4ever Yeah, still good music being made, but they're took the most trash stuff and propped it up as the face of what hip hop is today. "Black people...Stay high, blow money and fuck someone else's bitch." "Black people, haha I blow more money than you'll ever see but cop my album please."
@@TheOlskool4ever jewish ,,,you clown not white
I have lived here in Boston for 14 years .
Ed -og. And Bulldogs , And New Edition lived 30 minutes from my city of Quincy Massachusetts.
Times are different now I had this CD way . back in my high school years in the 1990s.... 📻 🎵🎶
This song is true hip hop . The beat is tough
u right!
ShellzFilms LLC. Discovered this watching Video Music Box when I was like 12
you re so fucking right duuuude
the beat is super tough we used to rip this instru down on the block
88 to 94 was incredible to live thru
This track was ahead of its time. 👊🏽
Way ahead of its time
That's was a classic for life, we had an identity as black people now we just put out trash . We need to get back to this.
Palavras profundas! Sábias.
This whole album is so underrated, I defo wish more people knew about it
Absolutely stone cold classic hip-hop beat. Sounds as fresh today as it did almost 30 years ago. Respect.
He has to be one of the most underrated MCs of all time,I had to rewind da first verse like 3 times just to catch all da punchlines

Garion Bush real hip hop had to be studied over to catch the well put together lyricism

Block Parties,memories and fun times listening to this!!💪🏽🔥🔥🙌🏼💯#timeless
FACTZ
I dont understand why hiphop have so much change.. 90's r the real Rappers was alive
Reason why hip hop changed is because of Clinton's privatize prison if you from the hood wat dudes play when they do drive byes it ain't gospel
A CONSPIRACY on and Against TRUE HIP HOP. This is The Rap Attack Track Mr. Magic played A lot of too.
70's, 80's, 90's was the golden era of Hip Hop and not just the music, it was East Coast and West Coast bringing that sound and culture.
Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯🎶🎶🎶
Bad ass beat. Dope lyrics that will remain true forever.
Real hip hop is alive in our hearts! PEACE from POLAND no WAR!
