TheUGhiphop I know right, noddin my head on this forever. People keep saying go listen to Logic/Joey Badass and shit but none of those guys can recreate that 90s vibe.
Big L and Jay did some justice to this track on that Stretch and Bobbitto spot...I know what video you mean though, it was one of the great freestyle videos on early TH-cam. Now, Milkbone? Dude would be a forgotten name if not for this beat and his brief clash with Em
It's like a tradition on this beat. AZ's voice goes well with classic boom bap. Adds a lot of flavor. Logic retouched the Life's a Bitch sample when he reused this beat as well. He sampled a bit of Nas' verse as well as AZ's.
@@curto201 Mass market appeal is much more likely to pick up a decent white rapper than a great black one, never forget that. Its crazy to think being white hurts you, especially in the modern hiphop scene.
I wonder if he’s still with them cause i recently seen an interview with Treach on TH-cam where he said that he’s currently working on solo material and he wants Eminem to produce his album.
I was like 4 when this song and video dropped. Remember it all to this day. Milkbone is as underrated as Masta Ace. One of the MOST OVERLOOKED AND UNDERRATED
Interesting. Why so much hate? When this came out a lot of "real headz" felt this song. I don't really hear exact copying of Treach. I'm not even a big lover of Milkbone, but comments seem off imo. More sounding like Rakim but everyone copied him and then Nas who copied Rakim. Would you diss AZ because he sounds similar to Nas? Imitation (see: sampling) is one of the most common things in hip-hop. Jay-Z was a carbon copy of Big Daddy Kane when he first started. Sometimes that doesn't work. Were you around when this song came out? I am a DJ and was on college radio and hip-hop DJ's on the station put this track in their rotation so clearly they didn't think it was wack.
Mad respect for Big L but just because Big L and Jay-Z are who they are and the household names they became doesn't mean they have to do anything and everything better than anybody. Nobody came close to this... not even the instrumental alone... because when you hear the instrumental your brain cant stop laying Miilkbones vocals automatically and magically over it... and it will keep it real for you. This beat, the lyrics, the vocals, the black and white video, the Naughty By Nature clothing, no cars, no money flashing, no appealing to sex... and that refrain... this is perfection!
Yeah it took a minute to figure out that Milk is best suited for this beat. When a beat suits that specific person and style it translates a classic in all aspects of the hip hop game. That dude wears the beat on his sleeve! Peep the moves. It speaks for its self! And on top of that - AZ on the hook is like the cherry on top. Real musicians got ear for the sound and Good eyes have sight of potential!! I’m tired of people just sayin the beat is dope because it’s great itself but they are ignorant of the whole production!! 💯
Man, I wish I would've know about Miilkbone as a kid when he came. This would have been right up my alley, and was right when I first got into hip hop(mostly through wu-tang, nas, snoop/Dre, even coolio/gangstas paradise/dangerous mind soundtrack.)
Damn .. these were the dayss bac in the 90's when everything was alll goood in the hoood chilling with real cats,bumping real music and pounding those 40's
Ill betchu im the youngest viewer here. All my friends stuck in this new shit. Im here because of one event. The time i found the nwa legacy in my uncles car. Fine stuff. Wasnt even born in the 80’s or 90’s but i feel like i should have. This is just bumpin, how come people cant do it like this? Was there a long line of not keepin it real?
Ls freestyle is nice but Miilkbone song is twice as good. pure hip hop. Not the chopped up $hit from now a days. Track is smooth as hell. It ain't hard to tell
Just discovered this track, known the beat forever tho, just played this about eight times in a row, shits flre, and I will always love and listen to underground till the day I die, 40 yrs young
The flow. The beat. The clothing. The graffiti. The realness.
TheUGhiphop I know right, noddin my head on this forever. People keep saying go listen to Logic/Joey Badass and shit but none of those guys can recreate that 90s vibe.
They aren't trying to recreate it. They are simply extending its life.
Just Some Guy On The Internet Then people should stop saying they're recreating the 90s vibe.
MrEnjoyBeats If extending its life does so, it is what it is. Quit being a purist and just enjoy the music .
Just Some Guy On The Internet How is it extending the 90s if they doesn't sound like the 90s at all
Probably one of the most well known golden age hip hop beats.
So underrated. Just listening now 2024
one of the BEST hip hop beats ever MADE!
Dopest beat indeed
WORD UP
This is the boom bap rap most of us Hip-Hop heads love.
A lot of people discrediting milkbone. Shame on you. The man brought this timeless classic to us ❤️
Agreed. This is classic, banging rap track end of.
Can't stop playing this joint. I discovered the Big L and Jay-Z freestyle 11yrs ago and finally found this. Miilk killed this shit.
Big L and Jay did some justice to this track on that Stretch and Bobbitto spot...I know what video you mean though, it was one of the great freestyle videos on early TH-cam. Now, Milkbone? Dude would be a forgotten name if not for this beat and his brief clash with Em
@@billybones6463 true, but he still did his thing.
lol i'm going through the exact same but 7 years later than you did 😂
@@eastsidelingo8404 miilkbone killed it. better than Jay and L.
That AZ sample from Life's a Bitch is literally the cherry on top of it 🤍🙌

Big up naughty by nature
Even though he was overshadowed by Big L & Jay Z, gotta give him props for the beat selection and contributing to greatness. I hope all is well.
Overshadowed because of his skin color, not because of anything else. Dont forget that.
@@curto201 happens to so many, sad shit.
@@curto201 I mean literally no ones going to outshine Big L
@@curto201 Mass market appeal is much more likely to pick up a decent white rapper than a great black one, never forget that. Its crazy to think being white hurts you, especially in the modern hiphop scene.
@@JordanCorkinsthis white dude acted hella black low key
This is got to be my favourite beat of all times
Respect underground hip-hop.
Str8RapMuzik no doubt brother
facts
CAPITOL RECORDS are not an underground label,fun fact,underground music is for the circle of friends not a whole stage crowd,reality frequency
Miilkbone was super ill! He was down with Naughty By Nature! So many unsung heroes of hip hop!
Ductur Platypus
where can i find that?
AnsemSephiroth95 facebook.com/MIILkBONE4life?fref=ts
His most recent album is 🔥 too
I wonder if he’s still with them cause i recently seen an interview with Treach on TH-cam where he said that he’s currently working on solo material and he wants Eminem to produce his album.
Logic was a big fan of his. I wish he'd do a single with him
Dude was slept on. Straight fire!!
When rap had intregrity, when hip hop had lyrical prowess
Tell me about it now
This instrumental is more famous than Miilkbones whole career
I love Miilkbone, but fuck me that's true
Matt Marvin sad but true indeed lol
😂
He still killed the beat though. The dopest white emcee prior Eminem
Dᴏᴘᴀᴍᴇᴀɴ ᴏᴛᴍɪᴄ: And he STILL is better than Eninem
No video chicks needed...just str8 hiphop, son.
This is the kind of beat that you and your dude just bob their heads and vibe.
I bought this album back in the day...the production is so tight on this, and he could spit. Love this song; real hip hop
AZ ON THE HOOK! RESPECT! Throw Anthony Cruz in the rap hall of fame
Anthony Cruz of Natural Elements?
@@chessbox4776 az
It's just a sample from Illmatic I think.
@@KungFoo1 It's from Illmatic, but that's AZ. He made many classics with Nas.
AZ = The Most Underappreciated/Underrated
Dat was the real moves back now we have this dabbin shit
ikr what the fuck music industry has come to ?
😂😂
how many freestyled on this one....unbelievable...fantastic track.
I lost track, I even freestyled while writing this sh!t 😂
This is fucking good. Gives me a gray winter day in Newark feel. Waiting for the train and what not. Good shit thanks for da upload
he's from Perth Amboy... I grew up with him.....
Just discovered this track... forget the new shit, there's still so much old school Hip Hop out there to discover. I'm only 16 years too late...
I was like 4 when this song and video dropped. Remember it all to this day. Milkbone is as underrated as Masta Ace. One of the MOST OVERLOOKED AND UNDERRATED
HELL YEAH~~
How can this dude not have this song on iTunes? How is that possible? Insane. And the instrumental? Wow.
It's on iTunes beloved
Every time I listen to this classic gem it brings me back to my childhood kicking it with my homies smoking blunts💯💯💯
I remember bringing this album home as a kid 🥹
I grew up to this. I moved from NJ to Cincinnati and couldn't believe when I seen this on Rap City. I recorded it right away. The good ol'Days
One of my favorite throwbacks. Didn’t realize until now how crazy his hand gestures were. Sign language on steroids
Man of the year brought me here not gone lie.
“realizing the realism my life and actuality”
Jersey Stand Up! Classic track right here! Straight out of the Delaney Homes. A forgotten piece of history
When it comes to the Instrumental this is more iconic than Miilkbone's career, but he deserves more respect because he could rhyme and flow well.
Underground hip hop in the 90s was so damn dope
90s hip hop and rap will always beat today's bullshit we have to listen to now! R.I.P
When Rap and hip hop was real.
His word play and his rhyme pattern and flow are exactly like Treach 😔
Interesting. Why so much hate? When this came out a lot of "real headz" felt this song.
I don't really hear exact copying of Treach. I'm not even a big lover of Milkbone, but comments seem off imo.

AZ killed the hook
Andrew Cedeno It's only sampled.... I hope you know this...
+LC LC Still dope tho
sampled from Nas' "Life's A Bitch" track off Illmatic
Yes from life’s a bitch with az and nas.
Mad respect for Big L but just because Big L and Jay-Z are who they are and the household names they became doesn't mean they have to do anything and everything better than anybody.

This beat was in my head through out my mid 90s till 2000. So spiritual, it takes you high in the sky. Damn

Best time ever for rap/ hip hop , party was good friends were plenty and all over the place it never seemed to stop. I miss it
this is an all time top ten beat for me
2024 anyone??

Today anyone ?
In 3584 anyone ?

Aaaaaiiiighttt
Still keeping it real in 2024
I'll be bumping this album start to finish for a long time to come 👊
Miilkbone is a rare gem 💎 for those who always keep it real if you know you know! 🙌 95’
This beat is sooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Miilkbone is amazing
This beat is just screaming Golden Age!
I still remember having this song on tape when I was a kid
"cause amboys a half way house, and this is my last day out" so sick being a Jersey native.
DjGyroGuru it's that bad man? Lol
@IceManLikeGervin Thank you.....I still got this video on VHS bruh, used 2 record all the classics for my big bro when he was out running the streets

I remember those times man that was hip hop. I will never forget those good times 💯🇵🇷☝️💪😎
Miss this his type of music 🎶
Miilkbone was dope! It’s sad he stopped rapping before hitting his prime in the 90s
Damn .. these were the dayss bac in the 90's when everything was alll goood in the hoood chilling with real cats,bumping real music and pounding those 40's
The rhymes are so dope my era was fire golden era hip hop
still love that good ol' body language. it speaks volumes!
It's funny, all this time I didn't notice the Naughty By Nature similarities. The beat, the flow, even the damn video!
He's wearing a Naughty By Nature hoodie lol
that's how the hiphop cats in Jersey did it
Man, I miss the 90’s😢
i dont understand how this wasnt a giant hit and such a shame milk never made it big.
One huge reason was Capitol Records released his album around the same time they closed their urban music division.
Milkbone was dwn with naughty by nature... classic thou... nj all day bby
Only 150.000 vis?!?! are you kidding me?
+Hau double Gott mine has almost 10 times this

Man i thought BIG L and Jigga had the original beat. Never knew it came from this. Beat goes hard
Nice movement nice bars nice time good old days..
I want to go back to the 90's!! Every artist was different and you had to be nice as an MC
Unrated....good flow....good beat...good hook.... good song!

This beat is the definition of nostalgia
Such a fly Old school Joint.............Not to mention got that Naughty by Nature Sound
Beat is better than most rappers careers today…
Milk bone can spit and he was good enough to make it. He also has a beef track on Death Row records. Good rapper. Deserved to do more
