Wild Pitch Records 1994
Omar Credle (born May 13, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York), known by his stage name, O.C., is an American rapper and former D.I.T.C. member who has been involved with several renowned Underground Hip-Hop groups and also released many solo albums
By 1994, finished the album Word...Life which includes everything on the demo was on except for his most notable single "Time's Up". "Time's up" was initially a record for Pharoahe Monch from Organized Konfusion. Beyond a quick outro from Prince Po, Word...Life does not have any guest appearances. This was not by design however as Nas was supposed to be on the album but never showed up to the studio for the recording session. The album was critically acclaimed and remains beloved in hip-hop circles.

Who's here in 2024? Damn, I almost forgot how hard this went.
One of the hardest EVER MADE.
I’m here
Never heard it before, just came up on FB 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👊🏼
lack the minerals and vitamins!
Big facts
No lame dance
No naked girls
No show off money
No mumble lyrics
No cars
No auto tune
JUST PURE TALENT 😢. Miss ol days.
And he had something worthy to say...
Old ahh boy
AGREED
What makes me happy is some of today’s kids still go back in time to find these gems. I was the same way, I’m 28 now and I prefer this over today’s music. Has nothing to do with being old.
NOT A CELL PHONE IN SIGHT 🤓
When hip hop had heavyweights, and not sucker punchers
Damn!!!! I like that!! Salute!! 👊👊
For sure 💯
Aye bruvv I gotta take that line bruvv I can give you the credit for it but ima need that
Real talk
The punchline era is the second best!!
This song doesn’t age, it’s future proof.
I see what you did there...
RIP Big Proof
"Your persona is drama that you acquired in high school in acting class / You're whole aura is plexiglass" - OC was snapping in 93 smh
Now that line right there could've been aimed at Pac if you think about it now
@@354allday I was thinking the same thing. Tupac was a thespian.
It was aimed at that bald skinny dark Cuban nigga known as Tupac Amaru Shakur 😄😃
@Eric 1. I don’t like 2pac
Whats a face told me you hit this kid in the face at the park .That's a lie.
For me this is one of the greatest rap songs of all time. The lyricism is so witty that most people can't even comprehend it. There's a reason why many consider this song so influential and everything OC said is just so true. How rappers these days just don't possess the energy that's needed, say the same shit over and over again, how they fool people with things they've not even been through, most of the time it doesn't even have a concept or is just a vanilla ice, same sex and glock shit. Man, this song hits differently now as I'm someone who loves the rap songs from 1990-2013 and basically after that rap fell off hard times. Only a few like Kendrick, Eminem, Jay Cole, Lil wayne, Nas have kept it alive.
My favourite verse will forever be: "Instead of puttin' brain cells to work, they abuse it
Non-conceptual, non-exceptional
Everybody's either crime-related or sexual." This song will never get old dawgs.
Word!
"You lack the minerals and vitamins"
I felt that bro.
Irons and niacins too
@Alejo great comment is great
I did
It really hits us anemic people hard
its 2020 and OC still fire
Still one of the most fire hip hop songs of all time
Yes!
All the time
And still relevant
2021 still fire
It’s crazy this song is still relevant present day and it’s almost 30 years old
Of Course .. it’s about when the Times End!
Cause he spit some real ish lol
I was a young head...16 when I caught this knowledge. Good overdose and now a great supplement.
"Everybody is either crime-related or sexual!" O.C. was calling out goofies in the 90s and this statement is even more true in 2020! This whole song is very, prophetic. Back in the 90s you saw the downward trend taking place in rap. The lyrics in this song would even slay all these fake tough guy's on the whole URL/ Smack battle rap leagues. Shout out to OC! #ChicagoIntheBuilding
You hit it on the nail, "prophetic"
@@yahnamore or prescient
I've been telling that to people for years, folks gotta wake up!!
@@yahnamore wa
W was a wa

💯 agree. He saw what damage Suge’s puppets were causing to the game. Biggie and Tupac are legends now but back in the day real heads were calling them out.
SERIOUS BARZ!!!!!!!! "non conceptual, non exceptional, everybody is either crime related or sexual"💯💯💯💯💯💯💪
#truth
30 years later all we have is that but with terrible altered computer voices!
@Sony Bruno I'm sad for you but glad you recognise the real!
"Of course we gotta pay rent so money connects, but I'd rather be broke and have a whole lotta respect... That's what I consider real in this field of music, instead of putting brain cells to work they abuse it, nonconceptual, non exceptional, EVERYBODY'S EITHER CRIME RELATED OR SEXUAL!!! One of the greatest bars ever rhymed!
Facts on facts! OC blew the doors off on this track. He spoke TRUTH! He represents HIP HOP!
Gives me goosebumps every single time. Greatest hiphop song of all time IMHO
O.C was in goat mode with this shit
This might be the best and yet the most important hip hop track ever to be created. It is so satisfying to watch him drop those beast lyrics with his homies around him, feelin those words and bobbing heads to that devastating beat.... for real, this to me represents the essence of real hip hop and how it stirred my soul growing up as a white suburban kid who felt an affinity toward the black culture around me. I'm 50 next month, but it's joints like this that will *never* let me grow old-minded. l continue to snap my neck to this beat for as long as I live.
Peace!!!
Every bar is incredible, my favourite record of all time.
Facts👊🏾💪🏾
Epic song…they used this beat in 8 Mile when Proof (R.I.P.) was on stage battling Eminem.
PROBABLY MY FAVORITE RAP SONG EVER! I TOTTALY AGREE!. IM 46 AND THIS TRACK CHANGED MY WORLD.
One the greatest songs ever. Made
This is undisputed real hip hop....Rap!
One of the greatest in my book
Somehow this has not been silenced...
The epitome of that raw East coast sound!!
Keep in mind, dear comment reader:
“Their time’s limited; hard rocks too”
Rick The Ruler!
Remember watching my big brother iron his clothes getting ready to go out while this was on all the time.
Tony Freeman Your brother know true hip hop when he hears it
MyI bro too!!! This is straight up ironing music!
Beautiful memory bro!
The amount of samples this song is responsible for is insane. Timeless rap✨
especially acapella!
Timeless! When lyrics mattered.
You ain't never lie
Facts.
#MajorFacts
My thoughts exactly
True Hip Hop classic. 86 to 98 golden era.
0:33 " Rappers sit back I'm bout to begin" Big L- The Enemy
0:47 " Rappers are in danger" Slaughterhouse- The Illest
1:15 " The more emotion I put into it the harder I rock" Mos Def- Hip Hop
"Rappaz R. N. Dainja" - KRS One. I feel this was a great sample of OC's Times Up as well
Check out omega man by trem. Great cut from this track in there
'Sit back I'm 'bout to begin.' 🥶
Man where did hip hop go 2023 😢
Still remains in the underground
One of my favorite rap songs to date...and I've been listening since '83!
ysgtimothy23 same than you Bro, it’s so good
Buckwild on production , always on point 👌
yep, '83 here - easily top 3 for me
What are you other favorites? Very curious to know
@@EkoNumb Too many to list!
beat is so timeless, golden era ✨
No words for this...
Les DeMerle - A Day in the Life
Buckwild's production is always on point 🔥
Still cold 🥶
Damn son that's what I'm talking about
Yeah, I like the song when it came out. But now I'm 41 years old. I can truly appreciate how dope of a song this was and how profound the lyrics were. 💯💪🏾🇺🇸
Gheesh. 2024. Still a banga
The more emotion I put into it
The harder I rock! OC is that fire!
hell yeah, I love the roll and flow of that line
This track is the eternal flame. It will stay on fire forever
❤
When he says :
The more emotions i put to it, the harder i rap.
This track is about is perfect as it gets. Dope lyrics, slick Rick sample in the hook, and ridiculous beat.
Rick The Ruler the only true Ruler not that other trash
THE REALEST HIPHOP SONG EVER!
This might be the greatest beat ever made!
1st time hearing this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
IN 2021 THIS IS STILL ONE OF ILLEST JOINTS EVER RECORDED FROM 1994. A INDISPUTABLE HIP HOP CLASSIC THE WAY HE FLOWS PERFECTLY OVER A SICK TRACK...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
His flow is straight out of hell. Straight inferno fire.
This should have millions of views
Hope the kids come check this after listening to Montana. 💪🏻
I discovered the *D.I.T.C.* crew two years ago, but ignored O.C., not after hearing this track!
This shit is *MEAN!* 🔥
Always said that he killed this jawn!!! Its May 2019 and this is still🔥🔥HOT Throwback!!🔥🔥🔥
"Jawn," Philly in the house 😁
Sad that there will never be Hip Hop like this again. 😪
Nah, man you're wrong it can be but the majority of us who are older think we're too old to bang hip hop in our whips because we trying to fit in with these young dummies. But from what I can see ALL of us who loved this hip hop back then still love it now being that we're still watching and loving this shit on TH-cam. We gotta let these og mcs know we still love their shit and need more because all this new shit we cant relate to because these niggas just poppin pills, and talking bout shit they ain't never did or going to do
Naw, Real Hip hop never left, but this here is a all time great Jawn tho. But hip hop ain't dead....
History always repeats its self
I hate these kinds of comments. So you're saying all your favorite artists aren't making music anymore?Cause mine sure are .
@@kingheff2771 old head mentality. Out of all the hip hop listeners you should know better and not look at hip hop on the surface level. Listen to Benny the butcher, westside Gunn, Earl sweatshirt, rome Streetz. Not everything I hip hop rn is popping pills grow up
Hip Hop was on fire at this time
Embarrassed I missed out on this one for so long. What a banger
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
Same here
Needs to be re-released in 2024! Still 🔥
GOAT era. Real rap and HipHop.
One of the hardest songs in Hip Hop history, the legendary head boppin from the video, and one of the most quoted,sampled and beloved lines of all time..
🗣 "THE MORE EMOTION I PUT INTO IT, THE HARDER I ROCK!"
🙌
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
Straight classic song. I first heard it on NY Undercover episode in like 94 and a fan ever since
Me too homey gotdamn dat instrumental doe
NEW YORK UNDERCOVER! YES!
Blasphemous name. N9thing can change my love for you.
That song matched that scene so perfectly!
I remember when it premiered on Rap City!
If one song could describe the entire 90's decade, it's this one. Only one word describes this song..."Anthemic"
This was truly hard as hel..... hiphob baby....😊
In 2020, still one of the greatest hip hop songs in existence. "You lack the minerals and vitamins, iron and the niacin. . .
Of course we gotta pay rent so money connects,
but uh I rather be broke and have a whole lotta respect.
It's the principle of it. I get a rush when I bust some dope lines I wrote that maybe somebody'll quote.
That's what I consider real in this field of music.
Instead of puttin' brain cells to work, they abuse it."
Our generation was the dopest 1980s - 90s
O.C . AND AZ ARE VASTLY UNDERRATED…
this shit been on repeat for an hour now! crazy joint.
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
Okay kids… THIS is what REAL HIP-HOP is suppose to sound like 👍!
This EMCEE is SUPER UNDERRATED!
@Mitchell Rivera I beg to differ, I was around during the 90s and he was RARELY acknowledged during that time also.
@@TheWackyWorldofOTV word ideas life and the jewels got heavy rotation on college radio and we bumped it in the streets but thats about it no yo mtv raps interviews no rap city no grammys etc.
As good as Hip Hop gets.
Why can't we take it back to this shit! They say history repeats itself, and slowly I see it happening. Real Hip Hop
Undisputed 90's NYC real hip-hop CLASSIC!!!
O.C. is another classic dope M.C.!
Man man man.......speechless.
One of the Best Classical Hard Core rap songs of the early 90s...
That Slick Rick Sampls was the Icing on that Killa Beat Cake.
Hip Hop!
1994 - the greatest year in hip hop!
A perfect moment in hip hop. We salute you OC!
Fun fact:
O.C. hated this song.
I really didn’t like the record. I [only] did two verses because I couldn’t finish a third verse for it. I hated that record! It took so long to write and I love the beat so much I had to prove I was worthy to rock to it-it was defeating me, man, so it was a crazy process for that record. Everything else flowed except for that record, [MC] Serch had to really, really convince me-the record almost didn’t happen. I’m glad it did, at this stage of the game, because I guess it’s one of those records that’s in hip-hop history books, but [Serch] had to practically go, “Oh, this is it, this is it. You said you wanted something to the left-this is it.” And I just felt like everything is off-I didn’t think people was gonna like it. The subject matter in the song is what caught people-it’s relevant today-so that’s why I’m proud of the song now, now that I’m a little wiser and a little older and I look back on it.
- O.C. in the book "How To Rap: The Art and Sciencie of The Hip-Hop MC"
One of the best hiphop songs of all time. Always relevant.
Absolutely 💯
Woooooooow still relevant to hip hop today
OC may be top 5 Most Underrated MCs of ALL TIME. Just listening to this record almost 30 years later, it STILL resonates! Certain records captured the sound of the 90s & this is clearly one of them. Man...'94 was an amazing year.
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
This is one for the vault, to cherish until end of days. And big up to Buckwild for this insane track.
Still bumpin this joint in 2020 with a facemask.
I was 23 in 94 and this joint banged out to true heads. Sadly what he was talking about continues today. Rappers either criminally related or sexual. At least we had mad choices in hiphop back then. Last 15 years or so everybody wanna sound the same.
Timeless classic
Timeless😎
Anyone that gave this a thumbs down doesn't know a thing about lyricism or pure hip hop!!!🔥💉
Two classic songs that were ahead of the time
The more emotion I put into it the harder I rock 🔥
One of the most underrated emcees of all fucking time!
OC killed it, totally Owned it, BUSHWICK Brooklyn Stand Up!!! Yup, Still here Bush Town BK kid!
this is one of the dopest song I´ve ever listened to.
OC may be unrecognized on the main line but craaaaaaaaaazy and highly acknowledged as one of the Most premier rhyme artists in hiphop in the 90's to where his joints are STILL HITS right NOW in years two thou!!!!!! OC is mad nice and precise FACTS!!!
The best song ever made.
Damn crazy how relevant this still is for rappers now
That's what makes a classic a classic if he could be dropped in any era of hip hop. Everybody was original back then
I was in 6th grade when this joint dropped, and heard it on "New York Undercover" also. (1994-1995 school year).
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
Yo that’s crazy, everytime I hear this I think of Ny undercover… it was when they was about to catch the lil dude mouse I think then the song came on lol
@@costuntalotsmith8008 If I'm not mistaking, I believe it was opening song on "New York Undercover".
Had to come bump this after Mc Serch drink champs episode. Didn't know this was that big in NYC when it dropped.
Hell yeah this and faking the funk by main source was calling out all the frauds in the game at the time
OC was ahead of his time with this dope track. One of hip hops best kept secrets.
Sampled in The Enemy by Big L
Sampled from A Day in the Life by DeMerle...
@@hypnodelica He's talking about the, "F*ck who did I offend, rappers/Sit back I'm about to begin" part...
I forgot who was scratching this record. He used "The more emotion I put into it, the harder I rock.".. Maybe Preemo
@@norakat also mos def
@@norakat DJ Premier
A master class in lyricism.
One of the best joints ever. Timeless.
1994 first time stoned, with my crew. Never heard anything like it. Ground-breaking at the time, not far off now. My mate fell asleep at the wheel some time after and 4 of us nearly died.
I think in one of the songs he was like “tick tock you don’t stop”
Hard beats,ferocious lyricism, New York was bringing it, those days are long gone
I remember when they said he was the future in 94 it’s 2022 I miss the past 🔥🔥❤️
All Props to O.C check this version out😎 th-cam.com/video/H5_igT4iPWk/w-d-xo.html
Yuuuuuuuuzzzzz! I miss scratching.
Best hip hop song of all time my opinion
2021
8 Mile brought me here. Hip-Hop forever!
I remember this jawn still go hard, "DRINK CHAMPS"
Someone on the 8mile comments recommended this too me I'm forever grateful
Straight lyricism ❤
