I still am baffled by the fact this dude didn't get huge. I hosted many a cypher and have been in the same circle as this dude for a long time. He's an absolute killer on the mic. I tested him by playing weird tempo beats just to throw him off and he destroyed everything. True skill.
Yeah, I always felt that Reks never got that push he deserves. Artistically speaking the casual listeners are not gonna fuck with Reks, but the true Hip Hop heads will fuck with him all day.
I often let young cats listen this track when talking about flow and cadence and still have substance...the breath control one this is crazy too This is a underrated gem...
I wish there was a church for true hip-hop heads. The sermons would be based around hip-hop past and the current state of it now. The Hip-hop bible would have it's own disciples. Bible study would be the teacher and class breaking down lyrics, and the music selection...this would have to be played! I caught myself lifting my hand up and bobbin my head during part of his rap. Caught the "hip-hop holy ghost" lol!
I was listening at nas (years I do, and illmatic is my favourite) while I suddenly remembered that phrase, but with a different beat, so I spended like ten minutes without figuring which one was, then I finally made it, but there is an italian Mc who made a track on this (its so damn fire) too, listened to it for another good 5 minutes cuz I fuckin knew this was the beat but couldnt find the quote, and I just came here thinking that maybe it was in the original, so here I am, just to hear that quote... #onelove
HOW THE HELL DID I SLEEP ON THIS SO LONG?? Incredible flow, lyrics, beat, everything. I'm so impressed right now, I'm getting this album next chance I have.
This is true hiphop..this will demolish overrated Eminem..when Eminem ghost writer died notice his lyrics died too..this is real lyrics.. no gimmicks..we need to high light real M.C.s like Reks..premo on the track is icing on the cake..sick sick sick combo
He ate this track ....Respect! Extremly gifted ..Alot of bars can go over your head , gotta give it 2 listens at least! Plus primo threw that cut from Nas's One Luv.. dope track!!!
Glad I found Reks to add amongst my vast collection of true rap/hip-hop albums & lyricists. I have almost 2,000 albums of the great music type & Reks is a diamond in the rough that more ppl need to come across & familiarize themselves with a great talent that came out in the most embarassing & extremely weak era of what for some reason is considered "hip-hop". From the first listen of a few bars, u can tell Reks is true hip-hop!! Flat out ridiculous lyrics & flow over great beats. A guy from the new era where 98% of what they try to tell us is hip-hop is absolutely embarassing that they call it hip-hop, here is a breath of extremely fresh air, a man with crazy flow & lyrics that sound like golden age of hip hop again, u would think this came out in early 90s. Mad props & love to Reks, a man with a ton of talent who mostly has flown under the radar & not had his well deserved publicity
Yo I gotta give you a suggestion hakeem the greatest mixtape of all time. It's seriously a digging in the crates gem, has that 90s vibe and nas feel. This I t some promote so ones music j know shits I don't no the cat other then listening to the bars.
Saw him perform this live in Toronto when I was 19, still one of the most memorable shows I've been to. Statik and Termanology there too. They sold some merch from the stage after the show and I wanted to grab a couple hard copies. Statik was kinda upset that I wanted to hand to hand it with Reks instead of him. Reks did it though, "Straight, no chaser" and "Grey Hairs".
How the fuck are there 384 dislikes. This is a masterpiece. One of the best Preemo beats I've heard and I listen to A LOT. And damn Reks the flow on this is insane! Big love from the land down under.
This is the very first time I have listen to Reks Produced by the Legendary DJ Premier. Reks MC'S a lot of truth for a lot of us in this World we live in today and the future.He flows over the DJ Premier Beat so well.And all so remembers GURU.For me GURU is one of the very first HIP HOP MC Teachers to die.
PREMIER IS THE G.O.A.T THE WAY HE INCORPORATES THEM 🎹 SO SMOOTHLY A STRING, SCRATCH A GRIMY SAMPLE OR 2, AND A HARD BASS LINE! NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!!!!
I was literally started to wear full cap all the time after I watched this video. It was mid 2012 and it's been 10 years. Still wearing all the time. ^^ We missed you Reks!
Living with true love, live as one, give him power over our creation to our divine spark, the whole, God. Divinity must prostrate in the top of our being and not the ego that is a lie. We are all one brother, love you all, peace and love. God is one, God is all, we are all, we are part of, we are the. Unconditional love. Sorry for my English is not my native language but I felt I should leave this message here. God bless you.
+Ozne Sken Thanks!i got a message to you too.go to the video,and press play,and listen carefully......cos this is REAL HIP HOP,and this songs keepin it alive!!!
This type of song you do not forget about how could you forget about the truth everyone need to educate they self whether you know we are down at the tinto's potters clay and times for real people better wake up and recognize
He's spitting like he spent his rent money on a primo beat, fire.
lmfao, thats the tightest shit iv read
Elticol0co that's some well invested rent money 💵
Elticol0co what a great comment haha that’s awesome
Elticol0co it’s probably true no diss to reks but a lot of East coast underground rappers really work 9-5 jobs lol
That night Reks sleeps under a bridge with a smile on his face. Very very Dope track!

He’s the man bro’s!
He's a real prophet, ofc we aren't lisented to
if he came out in the 90's he woulda been huge
He is nice no doubt, but unfortunately often too monotone
2024 and this track is still better than 80% of the new shit...

Reks snapped on this sick Preemo beat, this is timeless.
HOW THE HELL DID I SLEEP ON THIS SO LONG?? Incredible flow, lyrics, beat, everything. I'm so impressed right now, I'm getting this album next chance I have.
Unlike many, he remained loyal to his sht all this time. Respect.
Damn! I haven't heard this one yet. Premo's catalogue is cold.
This more sounds like a 90s rap track!
u right.
Is cool.
This is what we need. Take it back to the raw.
97 people don't know REAL Hip-Hop. RiP Guru. UK stand up!!
Reks is such an underrated MC ... Legend
Hip Hop survived the drought and brings forth new life. God Bless.
Was a classic as soon as it dropped ✔️🔥🥶

How time. Flys ‘ bro who introduced ‘to Rex. Passed away RIP street tyrant
Was just blasting this track a few days ago, while I'll was servicing a person's lawn, and it's hard to believe this is only 10/11 years old.
This track is fucking crazy! DJ Premo is always on point and Reks is a beast!
Fire still 10 years after I first heard
SUCH a dope song. Legendary
Much love, from Africa-Mozambique. Portuguese speaking country ❤
2023 March STILL LISTENING TO REKS!! 🔥 CLASSIC HIP-HOP DOESN'T AGE IT'S LIKE FINE WINE 🍷!
