One of the greatest beats, in the history of hip hop.. One greatest songs in hip hop history.. pure essence of East Coast music and sound.. damn where did our sound go..
99 baby from the Bronx. Really wish I was in my teens when Nore , the lox, nas, 50, Jay z, Memphis bleek had the city mad hot during the late 90s- early 2000s Take me back to simple days like these. I listen to more 80s- early 2010 music than todays rap. Not that I hate todays rap. Throwback rap was authentic and just reminded me of being back home
N.O.R.E. is truly a underrated rapper in my opinion. N.O.R.E. been in the game for a minute now and he's always had dope songs. He's a N.Y. dude all the way and his music definitely shows it.
Thank You NORE for Drink Champs....... This was my era. I was 18 fresh out high school and went to NY my first time with two cats from the Bronx and Brooklyn and this was our shit. The whole War Report. Can you image a Florida Boy driving from VA to NY listening to this? I fell in love with the Big Apple.
I still bump all the classic albums form mid late 90s. My shit always. So many albums back tthen where u can listen to whole cd front to back not skip a song cuz every song is dope. I haven’t had an album like that almost 20yrs now my funeral gonna. Be 90s classic hip hop
@Broham7 we lived this shit. Not no phoney ass industry plant music like now, nikkas b chatting bout ish they ain't ever done. Talk about code when all they do is snitch. And im not even gonna mention them mumble ass mofos. Take ya pink puffer jacket n ya skinny jeans elsewhere, Dafuq!
I'm 40 years old and will never forget this whole Era of music and the way it makes me feel and changes a bad day into happiness and makes me think Damm I wish I could go back
NORE’s one of my favorites all the Queens (Corona, Jamaica, etc.)/Lefrack/QB joints are some of the best joints from NY, in my humble opinion. I’m from Southern California, just my opinion.
Je Ceee funny you say that I am from queens and rep queens all day and am biased thinking that Queens rappers are the illest but growing up I also rocked Cube, Lynch MOBB and too short. I don’t think kids in my hood would have even known about half the west coast artist had I not blessed them. This was before internet.
