When I was younger, I gravitated to groups like this, A Tribe Called Called Quest, and The Infamous Roots...with a Jazzy ass baseline and lyrical contents with a message but my homies looked at me crazy but now everybody on their dick! Recognize greatness! RIP Dilla
OMG!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG!!!! I have wasted so much time at work, thinking back about what I was doing when I first heard this song. Music is everything!!! gets you hard times, makes the good times better. creates lifelong memories
Crystal F. only thing I remember when we was driving Out from the state Mississippi to Louisiana Going to Texas to see our Family When I here this song for the first time memories
...this is like yoga to my ears, NO CURSING THE LADIES, NO HAILING DRUGS, NO GUN VIOLENCE.... THE WAY HIPHOP IS SUPPOSED TO BE ...IT'S ALL ABOUT " REPRESENTING "
One thing I hate about being my age is that I can never really experience how it was when music like this first came out. Things like buying their cds when it came out, watching the videos, seeing them live etc..., I wish I could feel that experience.
rocknrap12 You know, I took all of that for granted. I loved waiting for videos to premiere on TV, buying CDs and actually having to listen to them repeatedly to learn lyrics, flipping through radio stations and being torn by MULTIPLE ones because they all played good music... Don't take your music scene for granted; who knows what the future holds.
It was awesome hate you missed out the feeling you get when you hear these songs from back then and see the videos drum up those emotions you get to experience that feeling over and over again it's bliss
Well MiLady, I have been married for over twenty (20) years and I guess my wife knew something because this has ALWAYS been my steelo; perhaps, we were destined for each other because I learned that she loved Pete Rock and CL Smooth and it was a wrap. So, missed you, sorry,🌚
In the realm of Hip Hop, the 'Golden-Era' is a term used to define a period when the genre was at it's best and most brilliant. Typically the early 90's, more specifically starting in '93 when Wu-Tang and Tribe dropped 36 Chambers and Midnight Marauders (on the same day!). It was when Hip Hop was beaming with artists like Gang Starr, Outkast, Goodie Mobb, Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Group Home, The Roots, Das EFX, EPMD,... etc, etc... and shining unlike any decade or era we've seen thus far.
OH MANNNNNN!!!! This was my song!!!! This song is hott I looove it!!!! It's REAL authentic Hip hop! Just realized Dwele was singing this song w/ Slum Village!! BET needs to play REAL Hip hop like this!!!! This is a JAMMMM!!!!
I strongly encourage any fans of Dilla's to read the 33 1/3 book about the Donuts album. Really great insight into his life, including the early days with Slum Village
Damn!!!!!! I'm 42 now, but dis shit smoov takin me back to my early "Playa" years when I was type gamin 'em.....LOL. Thank thee Orishas for condoms...LOL!
I miss everything about these times. I would turn on vh1 soul or 106 and park. I was only about 13 or 14 and was so eager to grow up because my mom was so strict, but I would always hear the messages in these songs. It was all about love. Self love. Real love. Growing up was inevitable and I did take my time but now here I am at 31 and the world has changed. How sad that we can't rewind to the good times. I would re live out my worst embarrassments and my most painful memories just to have the good times that came with them just one more time. I wouldn't change anything, just re-live those beautiful innocent moments. Music is a time machine. You can play an old song and remember where you were, who was in the background, every detail. Its crazy.
This Time period of Music was so Pure in its Form: real hip hop & videos that actually compliment the song: not everybody just flashing guns or women naked to make the video, or just clear vanity of cars & money. This music had substance: WORD.
Wow man... recently I found this clip on IG and I was like “No way, how could I forget these guys? I was so damn young during that time” ... shocked that two guys in this group passed away 🙏🏾
not ashamed to say that it took me 2.5 hours to look this song up after hearing 10 seconds of it today...last time I heard it was probably before 2010...so many memories...even tho I was like 9 when I first heard this track
this song never gets old and I still bump it. the words all hit and about the music business as well. respect and RIP J Dilla. Dwele Brought the vocals on this jam.
i was trying so hard to think of this song the other day! i knew i had the tune but couldn't remember the words or who it was by. today was my lucky day because pandora played it! ahhh thank you pandora :)
I had to had been in middle school when this trill azz video came out. It was like nothing else I had ever seen....I mean there was no video like this out around this time. And there was a sense of love and realness to this song, you really gotta cherish music like this. RIP Baatin and Dilla

VONAFIDE YES YES I remember those days!!!!

True. Miss those days.
One of my favorite groups. They were all down to earth. Glad I was able to play a role in this video.😉
I remember seeing this on 106 and Park the good old one with AJ and Free. Good times
Those were the days. Always use to look forward to see this video. 106 and park was the show of the day.
This was my jam back then. I didn't know the group or the members but I do remember watching this video on BET every day. This brings back memories.
OH MANNNNNN!!!! This was my song!!!! This song is hott I looove it!!!! It's REAL authentic Hip hop! Just realized Dwele was singing this song w/ Slum Village!! BET needs to play REAL Hip hop like this!!!! This is a JAMMMM!!!!

Slum village good Cool Awesome hip-hop music spoke word flow poet powerful dope best ever power
Had no idea that this existed. Thank you
RIP Dilla and Baatin
What happened
Lil Traffic Dilla died
Lil Traffic dilla and Baatin died
My kinda Hip-Hop. Damn this is dope!!
HeroesNStuff sho nuff!!
lol yep
Not just yours!
This is true hip-hop man.
It seems like the soul in music today is gone. Its not completely gone but its hanging on by a thread
+Donovan Beavers Kendrick the only one who brought it back
+dirtyplaya yea, just barely. Even he teeters on the edge....
+Sunshine96818 What makes you say that?
+Donovan Beavers hiatus kaiyote. Nuff said.
+Sunshine96818 I agree someone that does music with lady gaga has no musical taste or soul.
I remember watching these videos back in 2002 on my way to college.
Crazy that it's almost 20 years now. Yikes!
Damn!!!!!! I'm 42 now, but dis shit smoov takin me back to my early "Playa" years when I was type gamin 'em.....LOL. Thank thee Orishas for condoms...LOL!
This chorus is addictive. I love the way the voices bounce off the bass and synth!
Always maintain that integrity, heart, and soul. Thank you SV
00's was dope, used to wish i was of age for the 90s era but didnt appreciate the 2000's. Don't know what you've got till it's gone
I listen to this song atlest three times a week
i listen to this song at least 3 times an hour
This shit bang !! Ma favorite part is ol boy that Rapped second.
foshizzle manizzle lol I listen to this song at least 3 times a minute lol
hell no so you like only one verse right?
foshizzle manizzle what you mean by that ?
(Applause) This sounds like what a bottle of aged fine wine tastes.
Not only does it sound aged very well, it’s also relevant to toxicity in today’s society and music industry. They really were ahead of their time.
Who else is here in 2019 🙌❤️
Me this will always be my jam
Tracey it's November 2019 I'm checking in 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Yo this song is timeless for me.....
Tracey uh me! :)
Bronx Nyc in here 2019 classic!
My soul rises to this
TheLooseFace ,,🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
This song will never get old..2019 who still not tainted???
Driving off to college my freshman year with this booming out my speakers... The feelings and memories dude!
T3 has the sexiest rap style known to man. RIP Baatin and Dilla. Love Dwele on this track, saw him in Jazz Cafe, great collaboration.
As a Texas lady, I was glad when Detroit taught me "blasasplee" or however you spell it.
My D town Anthem still pumping this ♡♡♡♡ so much soul and integrity : ).
Song brings back memories of the long ride to watch the Atlanta Falcons play back in 2002 and my uncle would turn this song on. Good times
I really love dwele♡ he has one of the most beautiful and soulful voices in the music industry.
This song and video goes perfect together. I'm sooo neo soul/hip hop!
Damn, I miss music like this...thank goodness for mp3's.
I’m 16 and I stay bumping this thank you mom‼️
I’m so behind on sweet grooves, I embarrass myself. This is delightful. Sweet and low and very easy on the eyes . Beautiful sound and vision
not a big fan of modern music videos - this one here is different .. very special .. love it ! share this masterpiece
Wow this is one of my favorite from them. I still remember all the words. We need this kind of music in 2017-2018😍❤️❤️❤️😘
I so wish they can make music like this again. Reminds me of a nice, cloudy Friday afternoon
RIP J. Dilla
Thank God for Slum Village, they helped Dwele get to where he is today. I'm a huge fan of everyone involved in this video/song!
IN THIS ERA OF SOCIAL MEDIA & MICROWAVE RESULTS,,,,,NEVER FORGET THE ART OF PERSONAL CONVERSATION!!!!!💐💐💐
This song is timeless and I love the fact that the works of Justin Bua was a main element and inspiration for the video
RIP J Dilla...
You did good with this one Sir!
❤❤❤
Will forever love this song, makes me feel mad calm and nostalgic♥️♥️

Detroits best !!!!!!! I love Slum Village Rest in peace Baatin J dilla
RIP Jay Dee and Baatin
What happened?
J Dilla suffered a cardiac arrest and Baatin's cause of death is still unknown, medical examiners said there was no trauma or signs of foul play.
Manisha Gilliam baatin got homeless and suffered mental illness , he died in the streets
antony Aristyl you serious??
shit serious, this is sad
tore that record deal.
kept his integrity,heart,soul.
kept playing on the corner for change.

Me and bro used to jam this song all the time. Music just isn't the same anymore now
Wow man... recently I found this clip on IG and I was like “No way, how could I forget these guys? I was so damn young during that time” ... shocked that two guys in this group passed away 🙏🏾
A Detroit delicacy. All Detroit Artists!
Slug Village
Dwele
Jay Dilla
Crazy how no one bumped this when I was a Senior in High School. It was all Ludacris, Chingy and that Jay Z bullshit. Slum was on another level.
One of the best SV songs, along with fall in love.... This is Dwele at his best
A real laid back song
This is chill n smoke throwback music
maaann this song takes a brother back! always loved this smooth beat and hook with the gritty lyrics! home run!
not ashamed to say that it took me 2.5 hours to look this song up after hearing 10 seconds of it today...last time I heard it was probably before 2010...so many memories...even tho I was like 9 when I first heard this track
Warms my heart they picked a mixed girl who kept all her beautiful black features, don't happen nowadays.
Still in love with this classic
Who still listen in 2020？ RIP Baatin RIP J Dilla SV forever

This group don't get much radio play especially Dwele I listen to his music all the time....Awesome group!!!!
Elzhi went on to become the best rapper from the group.
Slum Village! Dwele! Justin Bua art! Omg this will always be my favorite!

Daryl Perpignan Feel ya, my man!
