Your dad’s music helped me through a tough time last year and I still blast it daily. Just got someone into it too so tell him thank you from a U.K. fan!
The 90’s will never be duplicated. Golden Era forreal. Everything was fire!!! music, sports, and life!!! I felt the magic as a kid. Thank God I witnessed a piece of it!!!
This is my kind of hip-hop. Only the classics. Props to World Renown and K-Def for constructing this dope track. Was lucky enough to get a digital version of their entire LP.
Whatever happened to these cat’s? I know K-Def for working with Marley Marl and Lords of the Underground but I only know World Renown for this track and the video getting heavy rotation on BET’s Rap City at the time.
@@jeanemlicar They got dropped [from Warner Bros] shortly after the release of this video. Then put out a single back in Y2K. Here's an interview w/ Seven Shawn from 2011 that has a lot of answers..
Fell asleep after smoking a joint as I was watching an uploaded episode of rap city for learning purposes & idk.. something bout the intro woke me up. The shit jus spoke to me. I've never heard this before
I remember one day this was the last video for the day for rap city. As it closed out and rap city went off I switched on the Super Nintendo to play some Mortal Kombat II........the memories!
7ISH GodISeeHim True Indeed! This Is when Hip Hop was fun, creative and simply dope. Pure nostalgia.... I design things here and there. I'm In a transition right now.... So once I get settled In to my new place, I will definitely get back Into my creativity.
Classic. I was in college at the time with next to no money. Regardless, after the video initially broke, I copped the Maxi-single from NRM on College Ave... I still have it to this day. Respect for the post.
ULTRA A I K : I feel you, Fam. That's a blessing that we can simply connect to channels like this. Besides, nothing can erase all of the memories. Peace.
I swear to god on my own life, this piece would be the coolest, most chilliest song i have ever heard in my 30 years of living. I do 10 hours shiftshift work, this was on repeat for straight 8 hours. The first 2 hours was spent, randomly skiping songs until... 2021 🙌
Gotta say yo...ya'll catz keep the real HipHop over here yo... HipHop is a way of life, walk, talk, act.. not just a genre....just like rap too, but they are not the same. (as this industry would have you to believe) rap got they culture, and hip hop got its culture....
*Timeless!* 😃🙌🏾 This joint is soo dope and the video makes it even more better. I can't even count how many times I've watched it since my homie Stefaun put me on this 🤙🏾 Soo many dope, underrated artists out there man it's crazy. Regardless, shout out the real ✊🏾 One 💙✌🏾🎨⛅
I was only in the 8th grade when this came out and it's very slept on.... It's unfortunate they're album got shelved because warner brothers didn't know how to market them like that.... Until the album was re-issued on a independent label and it's available for purchase on Bandcamp
Now this is some dope ass hip hop music! The dancing females (with clothes on) are extra tite!! Does anyone know who the 2 ladies are that are dancing in this video...much respect to them both!

Sucks cause unfortunately everything evolves but i wish we can go back to the early 90s i did my own research on music as i was growing up and just went deeper into music in general especially real Hip Hop and still can't stop finding gems 💯
seven shawn is actually my dad, i wish he didn't throw his rap career away because he is so good
Yeah your dad was DOPE...
I would work with him now if he was still looking for beats. 🤷🏾♂️
Your dad was signed to the wrong label.
Are you serious? Whenever I listen to this I always think he could've been one of the greats like Nas if he kept rapping
Big up your father from the UK!
Your dad’s music helped me through a tough time last year and I still blast it daily. Just got someone into it too so tell him thank you from a U.K. fan!

Nothing better than straight up 90s, boom bap shit

J.R. Brawlers yessss 😢
For real, one of the best beats ever......
Quintessential 90's vibe, dances, beats, dip, only thing missing is a dope horn sample on the hook lol
K Def is the man, Marley Marl knew it
I swear to god on my own life, this piece would be the coolest, most chilliest song i have ever heard in my 30 years of living. I do 10 hours shiftshift work, this was on repeat for straight 8 hours. The first 2 hours was spent, randomly skiping songs until...
2021 🙌
this song puts me into another dimension
90’s Hip Hop = Once great, ALWAYS great.
K-Def on the beat is top notch 👍
"But as the clock ticks, came wisdom the seed, understand my third eye master me!"
That entire verse is incredible...
Thanks to the channel that uploaded Rap City with this video included. Discovered unheard artists from the 90's thanks to rap city.
Love the pure essence of the culture
This whole song is like honey butter all in my ears!!!
Vintage you da man for this one! I used to absolutely loved this song back in the day!
Peace to Vintage Hip-Hop Seattle
Since I was born in the 90s I’m spending all 2023 doing my homework on 90-97 hip hop 🔥🔥🔥
Gotta say yo...ya'll catz keep the real HipHop over here yo...
HipHop is a way of life, walk, talk, act.. not just a genre....just like rap too, but they are not the same. (as this industry would have you to believe) rap got they culture, and hip hop got its culture....
Ultra Chillness
Hip Hop 90's forever ! Very dope track ! peace from france ...

The best grooves k-def makes ^ ^
1994 was the Year
Actually, this was 95'.
I heard the song on an underground Hip Hop station in 95
That was Pirate Radio with Marley Marl and Pete Rock on WNWK FM before it was officially released 🔥
Real hip hop

Everything on point. Beat, rhymes, video.
When hip hop was hip hop👍🏾
Ahhhhh the 90s !!!
I was only in the 8th grade when this came out and it's very slept on.... It's unfortunate they're album got shelved because warner brothers didn't know how to market them like that.... Until the album was re-issued on a independent label and it's available for purchase on Bandcamp
I always thought A tribe call quest sing this ❤❤❤
I thought that too but it was a sample which worked nicely...but RIP Phife
One of my favourites
Old school mid 90s nyc rap was the shit
This is hip hop, for me.
underrated is not the word.,
Love everything, rime edit simply amazing!
Only if I had a time machine
I used to love this song and instrumental

My Favorite Part of the video @ 3:39 🤣😂🤣
Jersey baby 🔥
Phife!!!
Queens All day
I was in love with every baggy clothed female dancer in this video as a adolescent.
The World Renown Album is Out Now, on Smoke on Records
And every track is in good quality, finally. Only one track is missing (State Of Mind).
High school!
Lucious Thomas first time I heard this track its Dope miss intelligence in Rap.
Titus Trillion Respect!
I remember seeing an unreleased lp from them. Coming soon, On Seven Shawn's myspace page. Years ago lol. . Anyone know if they ever put it out? 🎧
If you want a copy it costs like $200
Just the K-Def and Blackcat tracks were on it. Marley's beats were left off. They're available now, but the sound quality is unbearable.
Please release this album its been years
Apparently Marley Marl has been the one holding back.
This bump ❗😎
Dope 💪🌞
Back in tha da
Now this is some dope ass hip hop music! The dancing females (with clothes on) are extra tite!!
Does anyone know who the 2 ladies are that are dancing in this video...much respect to them both!
According to Seven Shawn, they were just random girls hanging around the set.
@@steeltownbrown52 Thanks 4 the info... they're both melted butta!
[Vocal sample: Phife Dawg]
Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am
[Verse 1: Seven Shawn]
My words who live between the bars and the page
And they set free, when I release on stage
My raps just froze, from days of olde
And my butter hit the book with ink
Until the whole pen sink
It's Seven Shawn, a relic from the lost place
I kick backs, that is a North baby's off wage
Just in case the crabs don't understand the rhyme
But they keep the scoop
Go on a square root, like forty-nine
I give a sharp math attack, like a box cutter
So nice, make precise, cuttin' the butter
Smooth brother, heat up in the drop top
I get a pen and pad, and write down bad rhymes
(Wicked) One time for the mind
Just what I see
Stay the same, never do a run game on my people
Hot like the sauna, Seven's the rhyme owner
When I rock I make brothers flock this like the corner
Wanna
Melt the butter down into the depths of her king sips[?]
Words on my lips sink ships
I mean hips of honey bitches start to spazz and speak
Make 'em drop and shake, and make their knees get weak
Okay, rub it in like Bengay, then say:
Squeek and bam, teach it like a damn sensei
Slice and bash, I'm like weed or the hash, I make ya high last
By completing my task
[Vocal sample]
[Verse 2: John Doe]
When my mentality flips you better run
Straight to the West, smack dead in the sun
Because I make it hot like a known drug lot
And John won't let up until I get my props
Facin' reality, man they can't grasp
You better jet past, I'm comin' for that ass with the
Reel o' real, I don't have to pack steel
Bitch I'm outstanding like Shaquille O'Neal
When I leave morasses I muster, maintain
Stress piles up leavin' sores on my brain
But I keep a level and a way to sidetrack
Where I'm at?
In my ghetto peepin' to my raps
'Cuz when I think back and I look at the times
Butcher, hittin' dimes, doin' petty crimes
Rush to get old, I was bold
Threw myself into the world, no coat, it was cold
By all means necessary kept me above
Had to hit the cream to support my one love
Do on my camouflage, blendin' in the streets
Doin' long extras to make ends meet
But as the clock ticked, came wisdom to see
Understandin' my third eye master me
Now the black market is my target of attack
Yo, my peoples are you with me? Where you at?
Let's wreck
Deep vibes. 👌🏼
Maan!!!! Wtf happened to Hip Hop??? This shit damn near brings me to tears 😌
CLASSIC 🕊
This the type of beat you would hear in an advertising car commercial 🔥🔥🔥
Sucks cause unfortunately everything evolves but i wish we can go back to the early 90s i did my own research on music as i was growing up and just went deeper into music in general especially real Hip Hop and still can't stop finding gems 💯
Winter Jams!!
Even had my mom bopping to the instrumental.
