This was beautiful to see. Growth, acceptance, love, forgiveness and understanding. Outgrowing the pettiness and misunderstandings of the past and finding the positive vibes to embrace and move forward.
Facts. Watching this in 2024 - You can see it clearly because during the time of this video Busta & C Brown probably still wasn’t speaking until Dinco got involved. It a blessing to see nowadays that if they wanted to do an LONS reunion for hip hop they could, but it would just seem antiquated and regressive for Busta given his status, relevance and longevity to the music industry that Dinco who was a decent rapper and C Brown who just wasn’t talented are now just casted in the shadows
Yeah...Cause count how many times Busta has blinked his eyes. Had to be at least 12 times, idk it looked like Busta took a trip from '86 to '94 back again to 2012. Cause Busta I've heard stories didn't wanna leave LONS! He really loved his team despite the beef between him and Brown. If Brown put his ego to the side back then? Man imagine him and Busta really being closer cause both of those guys I felt were the core of LONS both of them! Dinco D and Milo was just glad to be apart they didn't care of what position they was in they all brought something to the table! I was a bit disappointed when Busta dropped ELE 2 and I didn't see a LONS track! I wondered if they had a falling out again? I hope not, please for the fans sake! I honestly would like to hear a reunion album! I felt their two albums stood against the test of times! Though the second album was all over the place? Some of the songs were pretty good and production! I gotta really listen to that album again, cause not only was it their last album? But it felt like war against both Brown and Busta rhyming on tracks! I'm just glad everything is good again and maybe a album can happen someday before it's too late.
@@Sgtgee C Brown just wasn't talented lol He's the dude I was checking for...thought he mixed bars with humor and charisma as much as Buss. Always thought Dinco had the most consistent bar schemes and was the glue. Hate that they called it quits.
Sweet---nice to see that they actually had a reunion, and made up and all. They were always one of the more underrated rap groups anyway---nice to see them getting their props, and having fun doing. And that's my favorite song by them--the one I really know them for. I don't ever recall them getting really any radio play,though.
L.O.N.S. was a flame that didn't burn long but it burned bright as hell for those of us who were around to witness it. "Some people don't understand the inner soul and the thoughts of The Inner Mind's Eye" (T.I.M.E.) Long live L.O.N.S.!
Never understood why Charlie Brown was jealous of Busta..... *to me style wise they always complimented each other.* Of course Busta stood out....... but within every group, someone gonna stick out more/be the leader.
Just like David Ruffin and The Temptations . People liked the group but most people came to see David . That creates jealousy almost instantly among the group.
I was 13 when FWAP came out. They instantly became one of my favorite group. That album is one of greatest hip hop debuts ever. People who didn’t grow up in the golden era will understand the gravity of hip hop in late 80s to the mid 90s. Love forever to LONS
I remember when they first came out & broke-up. I remember seeing it on 5Fab-Freddy. I was hurt. P.T.A. & S.O.B.B. Story were my favorite songs. I had the Cassette tape.Im glad they reunited.☮🙏💯
@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 they both were great, Brown just handled the change wrong. Dude should have been more driven to level up and not be salty at his brother.
I guess Leaders. Are Bros. For. Life I can't believe I missed this in 2012. But. I was. Fighting for survival then. IM GLAD. BUSTA AND CHARLIE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE NOW EVEN IF IM 8 YEARS LATE 🤣🤣🤣😐😐
I remember seeing them for first time on "In Living Color" (Rosie Perez was an advocate of this group) and the energy when they did PTA was amazing to me!! Remember copping the first album (cassette) @ Underground Atlanta and bumping the hell out it!! Hope to hear some of that LONS cadence on some upcoming ventures! This groups chemistry was an unparalleled breath of fresh air!
Man...U don't know how good it feels to see these brothers together again after all of the politicking that separated them in the first place... Represent my nughas...Peace
I'm amazed to know that these cats got together for the 2012 Hip Hop Festival. After listening to some of their songs from their two albums for the past 8 years, I can't understand why they didn't get along back then, their chemistry is off the hook in my eyes. In my 26 years of life, I've never seen a hip hop group have such great delivery and yet have trouble getting along, it doesn't make sense to me. I've respected these cats ever since I heard "Case Of The P.T.A." on the game True Crime New York City way back in 2005.
Busta was in great shape when he did this interview with L.O.N.S. Still I wish he had kept his Dreadlocks. He use to freak so many dope 💇♂️ trends with them. He was truly on a league of his own when it came to creativity and originality back in the day’s. Also it’s great to see the rest of the crew after all these year’s.
Charlie was bitter towards Busta and thought he didn't need them but Busta was the one who didn't need dam but it's good to see them get back together again
Busta Just Made A CLASSIC Hip Hop Album. Probly the HOTTEST Album In 5 Years Prior To "Kings Disease" By The God NAS. But that "Extinction Level Event 2" I Felt The Presents Of Hip Hop So Strong. Bus did that shit man. I Haven't Felt That In Year's. Years man 🙏 allot of these new artist really wac. These dude's sound like food around bus man. FACTORY
C Brown was also supposed to go solo. He was loyal to the group. Busta needed to go solo, but it ruined the group. I wish C Brown went out and did his thing too. We talked one day in the late 90's. He thought Busta made a mistake. I disagree but I just gave him his props and kept it pushing. I could tell he was disillusioned by the whole game.
I always wanted to know if L.O.N.S. would have never broke up back in 1993, what the title of there next album would have been? and is there any unreleased tracks in the underground vaults?. Also would have they each drop solo albums, while still in a group together like : NWA, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan, Bone Thugs and Harmony did in the 1990's, instead of Busta Rhymes going solo by himself in 1995-96!.
Bussa Buss got Brown looking sick. Sad that the Brothers couldn't blow at the same rate. But great to see The Leaders of The New School GET BIZZAAYYYYYY!😂🤣💪🏿
Look man we all grew up on Leaders of the New School in 1990-91 so they felt that time just like we did and that's family no matter what -- just gotta take care of one another...notice how Busta talked about all Charlie's family was out there so that choked him up because he knows family is real family, more than words or trying to be hard or whatever issues you have.... WE all feel it who grew up during that time period; guys just have to respect each other's growth, time, space, and place.

First time i saw this, it made me smile. Just 2 see them together again was a wonderful thing. We need 2 give props 2 older rap artists the same way we respect older rock/ R & B artists. The older rappers were MUCH better, more clever and more charismatic than anything that's coming out 2day. It was about your skills on the mic not your car, weed, sex, calling girls out their name etc. The 80s and 90s was the golden age of hip hop. Where it's gonna go? God only knows. I'll stick with playing my ole skool hip hop.
we are in the same boat lol,,,its good to see alot of these groups squashing the beef, our time is borrowed. 3rd Base has also gotten back together as well.
LONS was the first hip hop I really liked. In fact they were the ones that pulled me away from R&B. I remember being the first cat at my school who even knew about them. It's too bad Busta and Brown beefed, I think they could have made multiple gems for us.
This was beautiful to see. Growth, acceptance, love, forgiveness and understanding. Outgrowing the pettiness and misunderstandings of the past and finding the positive vibes to embrace and move forward.
Busta was trying to hold then tears back when Charlie was speaking on him.
Yea I felt it

It's good that Busta and Charlie squashed the beef between each other.
19 years?

Truth Indeed
Soooooo good! Crowd was obviously too young to appreciate all of that awesomeness right there.
+Biffcheese Spinoccoli Add to that modern technology camera phones etc.
+Biffcheese Spinoccoli sucks they should of been amped
Biffcheese Spinoccoli fuck them
Yo, dat was back in our day, right suhn, lol
that crowd didnt understand what they was seeing,
L.O.N.S. was a flame that didn't burn long but it burned bright as hell for those of us who were around to witness it. "Some people don't understand the inner soul and the thoughts of The Inner Mind's Eye" (T.I.M.E.) Long live L.O.N.S.!
Say dat!!!!#LongLiveLONS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
something is finally right in the world! love Leaders
spoke too soon bud. welcome to 2020.
I love this. I actually got to meet these Brothers the night of my Graduation back in ‘91 at Club Zanzibar. 👑🔥👑🔥👑🔥👑🔥👑
Busta was scared C. Brown was gonna say some bullsht…. He was watching CLOSE!!! 👀 🤣🤣🤣
Dinco remind me of Gza
Yes! I always thought so too. Lyrical like Gza too. He was my favorite in LONS
Never understood why Charlie Brown was jealous of Busta.....
*to me style wise they always complimented each other.*
Of course Busta stood out.......
but within every group, someone gonna stick out more/be the leader.
Just like David Ruffin and The Temptations . People liked the group but most people came to see David . That creates jealousy almost instantly among the group.
Naw he was supposed to get signed by the same record label.
C. Brown owns the Leaders of the New School trademark ™️
CB was the face of the group when they first came out
Charlie Brown was more than jealous.
I doubt that most of the folks in the crowd understood how big LONS were.
D look the same wow
Just more heavy he got that grown man weight on
D didn't age a bit.
I was 13 when FWAP came out. They instantly became one of my favorite group. That album is one of greatest hip hop debuts ever. People who didn’t grow up in the golden era will understand the gravity of hip hop in late 80s to the mid 90s. Love forever to LONS
Dammm that crowd...Lmao . a bunch of hippters, too cool for the room . True hiphop old school heads would have gone bananas !!!
Yeah, but those heads wouldn't have even forked out the cash to go! LOL!
Same. I woulda lost my mind!
I remember when they first came out & broke-up. I remember seeing it on 5Fab-Freddy. I was hurt. P.T.A. & S.O.B.B. Story were my favorite songs. I had the Cassette tape.Im glad they reunited.☮🙏💯
So great to see that these guys were able to resolve their past issues & get back together, even if it was for a brief moment.
When Busta said "It's been a long time" I said out loud "I shouldn't of left you". THAT my friends was known as the golden age of hip hop
" without a dope beat to step to"
Oh my goodness, they killin it like back in the day. I’m loving it! 🙂💕🇹🇹
Bus...probably the most talented Hiphop artist ever.
Charlie's jealousy,,,....Busta's ego...never did get along...
word but glad all them looking good an old bless these young brothers
So true....sad man. They both had the juice
I must correct you.. you mean Bustas greatness!!!!
@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 they both were great, Brown just handled the change wrong. Dude should have been more driven to level up and not be salty at his brother.

leaders of the old skool
I would love to see them perform
The Most Unappreciated Crowd Ever
Busta is a GENIUS! Just for all the rhymes he's written and performed over the years-and being able to remember soooo much!!!!
Certified OG's
That was a great show and a great day!
The hell with the old beefs,mis communications and tribulations with The LONS Crew.seeing This interview did my heart good!!
I remember seeing them for first time on "In Living Color" (Rosie Perez was an advocate of this group) and the energy when they did PTA was amazing to me!! Remember copping the first album (cassette) @ Underground Atlanta and bumping the hell out it!! Hope to hear some of that LONS cadence on some upcoming ventures! This groups chemistry was an unparalleled breath of fresh air!
to be real wit y'all as much as i love LONS i thought that the reunion was 10 years too late they shoulda did this reunion in like 02 or 03
Man...U don't know how good it feels to see these brothers together again after all of the politicking that separated them in the first place... Represent my nughas...Peace
A Future Without a Past was one of my favorite albums back in the day!
RESPECT! ✊🏾
I was there it was insane I they performed right in front of the spot they broke up. Only thing missed was Phife RIP when they did scenario.
Omg the crowd dont know the value of this and the track wow

That's love how brown gave busta love fam
It was good to see them link back up after all them years 💪💪

Look at all the pop hop heads..."Who are these goofs on stage?" Not many but OGs popping to it!
Still rock "A Future without a Past."
Good to see them all back together...and yea, where's Milo and why they added him in the first place? Dinco still look the same
CUT MONITOR MILO WAS THEIR DJ.
Love. Growth. Inspiration. Legends. LONS that’s what’s up!!!
Where my man Milo?? Beautiful movement
RAH RAH LIKE A DUNGEON 🐉DRAGON💯!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LONS and Tribe.. never reached they full potential over ego n jealousy. Yet both groups members changed Hip Hop 4 ever..
#TRIBEDIDTHO!!!
The Low End Theory & Midnight Marauders = full potential
Love
As long as they Together ✊🏿✊🏿💯💯
Bussa Buss got Brown looking sick. Sad that the Brothers couldn't blow at the same rate. But great to see The Leaders of The New School

Wow, this crowd was lame...if they had gotten their $%&# together a long time ago, that crowd would've lost their $%&# !
Leaders.
First time i saw this, it made me smile. Just 2 see them together again was a wonderful thing. We need 2 give props 2 older rap artists the same way we respect older rock/ R & B artists.

This is a younger crowd they not feeling it ......but I am
Yooooo, that's fly that Bust letting them wear his jewels to shine with him, Real General ish✊🏿
we are in the same boat lol,,,its good to see alot of these groups squashing the beef, our time is borrowed. 3rd Base has also gotten back together as well.
That's my group...
It’s crazy because look at Busta and look at brown. Shows a difference.
dam it's good to see this.
