This video footage is from shades of hip hop during the making of the n.o.r.e. album. Punchline from the underground group punch & words joins in and destroys everybody
"Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends.....your enemies remain the same, your friends always change." that is a life quote that has never been untrue for me
Man WTF happened to us?!? Watching this in 2017 hurts my soul. Everything is so fucked up nowadays, in comparison to where the sharp talent this video left off...
dandaddavi - you aint alone bruh . i watch mad throwback hip hop vids now a days . im 24 i cant get with 85% of the bullshit mainstream push on us these days
I agree 1997 cypher vs 2016 cypher huge difference this generation on rap sucks ass nothing but fruity pebble mumbling ass rappers and more than likely gay 2 lol
Thts when tht the east was just getting back right they was falling on death ears for min but real hip heads tht respected the craft still respected lyricism. The west was in the end of they run and the south was taking off in tht time. Thts a nice lil clip tho.
@@rizamahmoud201 Bro New York was always on top you're buggin..only in the last decade have New York rappers slowed down and that's only because most of them are bosses now.
@@claudegrinnell9602 bro where tf are y'all getting your info from? Y'all must be children bc NY been running things since the early 80s till now..rappers wise NY only slowed in the past decade or so..
Henny Lopez oh yeah i heard the original song it was pretty disappointing. 50 killed that first verse. do u know where i can get the guy with stripes music? his names punchline if i figured it out right
hgewhew hewdhewr Damn I forgot his name, its on the tip of my tongue. Trust me I will figure it out and get back to you, I remember him from mixtapes in the late 90's.
You ain't playing! Big l woulda legit caught bodies seeing niggas literally dying in this cypher from the weight the punchlines carry. Intuitively, niggas would get an understanding that no one is on Big L's caliber..
Son I'm realer in the street than I am on wax So if you see me in New York, see me making my stacks And if you see me on the island, you see me taking a jack And I think I'm all that How y'all niggas feel 'bout that? Be careful, this rap shit will get to ya' head Have you screamin' "fuck the police" When you scared of the feds Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends Your enemies remain the same Your friends always change I travel, state to state Stash box filled with weight Jaguar XK8 Money machine count papes' Kites with five words Kill them now don't wait For 21 years I've been sober Sling dope from crack I dabbled with rap Then I fucking relapse Hydro and hash I'm twistin' it Cash, I'm getting it Cristal, I'm sippin' it Hot shit, I'm spittin' it
Um...... This feedback might sting. I seen half n half me n the kid. I'm so fucking pissed off right now. AT MYSELF. or not. FUCK... FUCK YOU CORY FUCK U KID. I give a fuck who laughing at me if that's suppose to fuck with me. Old news. Omfg. I asked for all this so TAlK that SHit MOTHERFUCKERS. Glad someone fuckin cares. Or not. Aleast I'm gaining closure. Need. I s o I have no fucking idea of what. Is what is yep. As usual a honest 1st impression for anyone to take. Thanks 50 this exactly why the fuck I picked. Kill me ass. Do me a fuckin favor
"Here's a jewel, love ya enemies and hate ya friends , ya enemies remain the same, ya friends always change" few other lines in rap have resonated in my mind quite like this one
“Love your enemies n hate ur friends cause ur enemies remain the same but ur friends always change” 20 years later and all his enemies are literally the same 50 is a legend 🔥🔥
Punchline nasty!!!! How hunger make you outshine even superstars. But everybody did there thing. From a fan stand point I really miss this era tho. R.I.P. HipHop.
I am from Oakland Ca. Spent Summers in Spanish Harlem and Queens. I use to take cassette tapes back to Oakland when all of these Famous now were just Hustling. Dem New York God's are Pure Poet's. Much Love and Respect. To the 5%ers
Mitchell White Definitely. I remember seeing an interview with a DJ and he said when 50 comes in a room full of rappers, everyone puffs their chest out and change their whole mood to some gansta shit. Lmao
XuleGua That's why Punchline gets way more love for his verse and 50 has to go again straight afterwards to bolster his ego. Is it because he's the only rapper you've heard of?
Love Consequence since Beats Rhymes & Life but godamn he needs to file down those teeth. I bet he got 10 bucks from the tooth fairy every time he lost one. DOOOOPEE upload man!!!!
people dont realize how nice 50 was back in the day when he was hungry
robert f)
literary hungry?
Antivirus360 no stupid
lil BH no shit sherlock, that was a joke
Antivirus360 wasnt funny was i supposed to laugh
robert f duhhhh white boy
Here is a jewel
Love your enemies
And Hate your friends
Cuz emenies remain same
But friends always change. (c) 50 cent
He always been a student of the 48 laws of power
@@mj9202 he got that from a philosopher but its a dope line and very true
That verse was hard
Which isnt true... lol. Dumb shit.
MAJOR food for thought #sadbuttrue 🤔
0:27 perfect timing for that verse... Shit gives me the chills.
same here!
Ong
Goosebumps!!!!!
And the line ends within that little music change
Word
damn 50 flow was nice
Raul Sanchez the 1st was tight the second not so much cons got bars period stop hating he killed it
Both the dudes after him were better and he did murder it so what that tell u
fact 50 cent the rapper is worth about a hundred million dollars.
The second he sounded just like big l
Niggaz flow still on fly
50 fucking murdered that 1st verse...
if you don't instinctively bob your head to this, something's wrong with you...
*Bobs head after reading comment, making sure people dint notice*
Just stopped when I read this shyt
+Gaziminator lmaoooo bruh
jp im 15 and i couldn’t stop
Thaat jus mean they from a diff era
"Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends.....your enemies remain the same, your friends always change." that is a life quote that has never been untrue for me
50 was ahead of his time
What I don't understand is if you hate your friends then they are your enemies aren't they and how are you to hang with them if hate them??
Make no friends and you shall have no enemies. Free game.
Haitian Prodigy not true. True more friends you got the less enemies you got
Enimies can become friends so they canchange
Freshman class of da 90s 👌😂😂
Yea😂😂😂
Man WTF happened to us?!?
Watching this in 2017 hurts my soul.
Everything is so fucked up nowadays, in comparison to where the sharp talent this video left off...
dandaddavi - you aint alone bruh . i watch mad throwback hip hop vids now a days . im 24 i cant get with 85% of the bullshit mainstream push on us these days
dandaddavi it's lost it's soul,
I agree 1997 cypher vs 2016 cypher huge difference this generation on rap sucks ass nothing but fruity pebble mumbling ass rappers and more than likely gay 2 lol
dandaddavi the labels wanted music to shift to BS that's we're the music for them was at pop rap trash labels didn't want messages in music anymore
I was thinking the exact the same thing. What happened to Hip Hop ? :(
These dudes are all nice! This is when hip hop was real - when NY was rightfully on top in the game. I miss the real 90s hip hop.
Thts when tht the east was just getting back right they was falling on death ears for min but real hip heads tht respected the craft still respected lyricism. The west was in the end of they run and the south was taking off in tht time. Thts a nice lil clip tho.
New York was not rightfully on top about this time …. No limit and not cash money was running things. And the battyman of Atlanta began to emerge

Damn all them went in. 50 was a humble dude back then saying N.O.R.E going last cause he was the most popular and most respected at the time.
was nore the guy with the stripes? he had BARS!
hgewhew hewdhewr
No N.O.R.E was the guy in the gray ECKO hoodie with the hat backwards.
Henny Lopez oh yeah i heard the original song it was pretty disappointing. 50 killed that first verse. do u know where i can get the guy with stripes music? his names punchline if i figured it out right

Henny Lopez nice one bro, appreciate it
I wish Big L was on this track!They would've been like "ooooohhhh'!!!!Because Big L was the punchline God.
You ain't playing! Big l woulda legit caught bodies seeing niggas literally dying in this cypher from the weight the punchlines carry. Intuitively, niggas would get an understanding that no one is on Big L's caliber..
4lifebloods there are actually. I'd put
K RINO, GZA, and Chino XL above him all around including punchlines.
Nah that's Fab
I totally agree with you. He's a real mc from way back. But he's always been my favorite.
Not a track though its a freestyle lol
The dude that went third at first killed it
when 50 was still hungry
lol 50 ran out
KZ Zaheer yeah but his 1st verse was fire
Raw 50 before the shooting before his voice changed
Before he got that bullet on his tongue. But to bounce back after being shot 9 times & having an multi platinum album is impressive 🙏💯
Tax or he was cloned 🤔
The beat/ instrumental is addicting and unforgettable...THE LYRICS/POETRY is EVEN BETTER 🤣😂
Still rockin a chain worth probably 15 racks
J. Professional lol 😂 these guys signed their souls trust me they regret it down the stretch I have proof bro
One of the best throwback cypher ever WORD!!!! Nothing like this now in days!!!!!
Son I'm realer in the street than I am on wax
So if you see me in New York, see me making my stacks
And if you see me on the island, you see me taking a jack
And I think I'm all that
How y'all niggas feel 'bout that?
Be careful, this rap shit will get to ya' head
Have you screamin' "fuck the police"
When you scared of the feds
Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends
Your enemies remain the same
Your friends always change
I travel, state to state
Stash box filled with weight
Jaguar XK8
Money machine count papes'
Kites with five words
Kill them now don't wait
For 21 years I've been sober
Sling dope from crack
I dabbled with rap
Then I fucking relapse
Hydro and hash I'm twistin' it
Cash, I'm getting it
Cristal, I'm sippin' it
Hot shit, I'm spittin' it
Um...... This feedback might sting.

As usual a honest 1st impression for anyone to take. Thanks 50 this exactly why the fuck I picked. Kill me ass. Do me a fuckin favor
50 sounds menacingly tough
"I make a clepto take his own life"
"i make a clepto wana take hos own life"..nigga sayong steal his own life
this chypher nutz
Who is he?
Punchline
Ill line!
His verse was hard as fuck
Nore's signature flow is so nasty. Damn i forgot how nice punchline was too.
I'm 35 now I'm proud of the rap in my generation.
'take it in vain/vein like insulin' too dope
I love how 50's demeanor changed after he said the "friends always change" line
When i die bury me with a tape of my own shit haha fire!!!🔥🔥
Mellyson King Eleonora who is that
Punchline
this is new York all day lol. Everybody can flow
beat is called the change
"Here's a jewel, love ya enemies and hate ya friends , ya enemies remain the same, ya friends always change" few other lines in rap have resonated in my mind quite like this one
This is fifty when he was hungry
Literally dude was a lil chubby lmao
@@Luka2023- fat 50 was better.
He is still hungry but in a diffrent field
i can see fire in 50s eyes
Holy Shit Punchline straight killed it.
50 delivery was on dope with the lyrics
Nore getting so hyped on Punches verse makes me happy =)
50 was so gangsta wit it! True Legend!!
This is the 50 cent i miss. Effertless super effective flow.
50 cent first verse was nothing but game..welvin got talent.
Bruh 😂😂😂
that beat is nasty, 50 flow was nice
“Love your enemies n hate ur friends cause ur enemies remain the same but ur friends always change” 20 years later and all his enemies are literally the same 50 is a legend 🔥🔥
Kid capri new 50 had it his style was too dope at the time , punchline goes hard af clean af
The instrumental is N.O.R.E. - The Change
RodneyP thank u
yo Rodney p thanks
Thanks fam
That's my track on that CD!!! I even practice my drums to it it's so dope!
Evil 50 cent. Arguably the most feared, not many rappers energy demand that type of respect
Heavenly Beat!
This was before he was shot
Punchline is out of here crazy b crazy punchlines & flow!
All of them came so dope,
how was 50 cent so much better back then.. damn he was so hungry
NORE killing it with the real freestyle
3rd guy was on Black stars "Once in a lifetime" he's filthy.
This is beyond amazing. This is GOLDEN.
Your enemy's remain while friends change
Second guy is the personification of NY hip hop rap !
His cadence, flow, delivery, and style just screams New York in the 1990's !
His name is Consequence
He was down with A tribe called quest when they made Beats, Rhymes and life
2 songs I reccomend with consequence Good bad ugly & stressed out.
Punchline nasty!!!! How hunger make you outshine even superstars. But everybody did there thing. From a fan stand point I really miss this era tho. R.I.P. HipHop.

You can tell 50 was the boss of that whole room, everyone knew their roll
same as every video of him, u can tell people are careful n shit lol must have a massive presence
Mitchell White Definitely. I remember seeing an interview with a DJ and he said when 50 comes in a room full of rappers, everyone puffs their chest out and change their whole mood to some gansta shit. Lmao
What are you talking about ? Didn't you hear him say N.O.R.E going last? cause he knew Norey was the most popular out of all of them.
XuleGua That's why Punchline gets way more love for his verse and 50 has to go again straight afterwards to bolster his ego. Is it because he's the only rapper you've heard of?
rap has nothing to do with what where talking about, its about who is the alpha male
Punchline killed it
"The rap game I'm pimpin it--kicking it;
You're just taking it in vain like insulin."
This the hip hop I grew up on. Shits straight fire. The battery in my phone burned up after watching this
N.O.R.E is so dope
Tax facts
Oh yeah
NORE ALWAYS DOPE HIS FIRST ALBUM FIRE
thats a fact. and you can tell he was going off the top for most of that verse. flawless
They all used N.O.R.E.'s cadence at first
Proper feeling this old school vibe. Times changed huh
It's cool seeing how long dudes have known each other. 50 and Nore go all the way back to the 90's. It was dope seeing 50 on Drink Champs.
When rap was real and raw. Not all about money just straight flames bars. Nothing can compare nowadays
PUNCHLINE is one of the most underrated rappers ever....killed the shitt
Conseequence is a beast!
Punch went off! Crazy barz!!! Esp when he dropped em subliminals at Fif and Nore... This is how cyphers posed to be,Straight 🔥🔥🔥
