Never been able to explain this to my friends but I’m glad it makes other people feel the same it almost makes you existential but that’s what this song makes me feel and it’s absolutely amazing
Pete Rock hears things no one else hears. His ability to mix and compose beats seperated him from all the rest. Truly a genius in a class by himself and like myself a New Yorker!
Honestly, this is Pete's best production. It is incredibly similar to it's source yet completely re-invented. In the later half of the song when he "La"'s the chorus, it's like a response to the call in "Water Get No Enemy". Pete outdid himself sampling a Fela song. It totally worked. I can't get enough of this.
Pete Rock..... guys I am 45 years listening to music but I know only a handful artist who left traces, set trends and make music like that guy. Just wow
I memba ridin in Pete's black accord back in the days and R O and myself couldnt wait to use this Sht! Pete was kinda shocked we wanted this track cuz it was an older beat! No cd, we rewinded the tape about 50 times! Word Up!
Look at you now, gettin' all maleviolent/ Puttin' it down, like an ol' masta pilot/ I said "battle" ya fool, not "blast like a tool"/ And if ya can't see that, I'll bring your wackness to view/ Single syllable rhymin', Mr. Typical Giant/ Mission "Lube a Dude" tryin', "ITS IN!" Scooby Doo pryin'/ But I like how you added that kiss on the cheek/ So I had to saddle in and blast on the beat/ Until you get rattled and grasp to your sheets/ Silly little battler, I'll map out your dreams.
I love how it sounds like a kid playing piano, but fits right in, like thelonious monk. But check out that subtle percussion. Funky!RIDICULOUSLY FUNKY....
yeaahhh... i randomly ran onto this "fela - water no get enemy" song half an hour ago and as i listend to it, there came a part of it at around 8th minute that i knew i heard before... it was this instrumental =)
It's funny now, but when I first heard this I thought it was Pete fuckin around on the keys LOL.....When I heard the sample I was buggin out...Much love and respect to my mentor The Mighty Pete Rock....

When I first heard, I thought the source material would be from one of those god awful 50s big band tropical records lol. But It actually has a really good vibe to it already.
Myster-E "What is Your Obsession?" ... Peace, check out the song and video I did over this classic Pete Rock beat.. One love yall lets keep the real hip hop alive
This beat makes me want to cry every time I hear it, it is so good
try fela kuti's music, the original of this sample. All his music makes you want to cry
RatheSun God oh yeah I'm hip with him too, I got hooked on his stuff a couple years ago!
Never been able to explain this to my friends but I’m glad it makes other people feel the same it almost makes you existential but that’s what this song makes me feel and it’s absolutely amazing

Glad to know more people know this underrated song. Sad to know it will forever be associated to the roller skating video
bro I found this song from a graffiti video sick as instrumental tho
It will forever be associated with Fela.

The Best Fela Kuti flip ever.

Hola. G.
I MissedvTha ONLY Real PETE LA Rock with COMMON A GIFTED LYRICS
RIALTO THEATER 🎭 TUCSON,az.
Like that? This HEAR......
I was so hype when this was playing in the background of the very 1st episode of Entourage. I became a instant Entourage fan!!
DAMN they ROCKED the Fela sample on this!! I forgot about it til I listened to the original song ......both are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy inspired beat 🤯
A gem from Pete Rock
I love how it sounds like a kid playing piano, but fits right in, like thelonious monk. But check out that subtle percussion. Funky!RIDICULOUSLY FUNKY....
its fela kuti, not some kid you fucking idiot
元気付けられるアドバイス、有難う🙏御座います❗️勇気を貰いました。活かして、生きたいと思います。🫡
the ultimate laid back party track
yeaahhh... i randomly ran onto this "fela - water no get enemy" song half an hour ago and as i listend to it, there came a part of it at around 8th minute that i knew i heard before... it was this instrumental =)
Absolutely, Fela's instrumental in "Water no get enemy" was sampled by Pete Rock and INI.
Jamaican beat is hard for the streets
Although I may not recognize the sample! Fela Cuti was one tight musician and one hell of a soldier!
It's funny now, but when I first heard this I thought it was Pete fuckin around on the keys LOL.....When I heard the sample I was buggin out...Much love and respect to my mentor The Mighty Pete Rock....
Top 5 rap instrumentals for sure
Good vibes everywhere.
This beat is an alternative to meditation
Totally Awesome
Natty Dread" like "Bob" so rock steady
With no spaghetti with meat sauce
Maybe salads with one toss
No bread of the sorrow cause afraid to see tomorrow
It's religion never suspicious
You're too delicious for the tongue
See the lungs breathe a natural high
Just like the shirts that's so lovely
So ask Marco Polo and I never go solo
Cause I roll with the crew that keep the funk flows
That make ya dance until the sisters take glance
I hope you find romance, try your luck take a chance
Til I enter like the Milton Plaza I'm the center
Of it all, the fuckin' prince of the ball
Standing six feet tall, that's a long way to fall
But not worry, cause my vision ain't blurred
The "I" is hotter than the spice and curry
So don't stress the father or you might feel the fury
So check the situation, a raw deal is what we facin'
What's the flavor of the rules they mandate
The climbin' gets hotter as the city gets smarter ?
A million one catch they tryin' to earn top dollar
Half that mill, they straight out to kill
I'm cultivated and destined to act real ill
Black let up in the things of five Burroughs of pain
Only reason why the east and the west it ain't the same
I'm twenty-something years of age and life surely ain't about hand-outs
So I lace my plan out, hard work is levicated to an encore survival
Considergize less and from conception to arrival
Now that I'm here my fear shall decrease
Learn about life makin' my way to the east
From four square yard struggler
The G's on time, yo god hit me with that rhyme
Introducing the are to the O-B-O
You didn't know, I witness ya thoughts I'm Robodendo
But your inventions confuse me on the surface
Ya nervous, because your lack of purpose
Check it, thought about it, much much later
Should've kept it real would've been much greater
But, you got in it like a pussy, in fact
Bein' pussy kept your wack ass back
Now in '95 to 2000 Rob is on some next shit
Game type, yeah in ya heart, you know it ain't right
Dissention among the ranks
I'm givin' thanks to the most high for plantin' me firm
Upon this world that's forever changin'
The conflict that I'm engagin'
The concert with amiss communication
Imagine that me take the weight for some next kid short
Yo it's a Grown Man Sport
Yeah yeah like that
it's a Grown Man Sport, yeah
it's a Grown Man Sport, come on
it's a Grown Man Sport
this here is a Grown Man Sport
Hold it suppose it was me speakin' on tapes
To create a lifestyle to marinate
Different latitudes search cocaine to food
Excuse my move to bliss
Eternal stress in fits
I see the same in many, penny thoughts
Cause honey thought I wasn't ready but willin'
Now I'm blowin' through the ceiling
Go real only when a nigga make me any noise
So figure, the first letter supports the sport
it's a Grown Man Sport, yeah
it's a Grown Man Sport, come on
it's a Grown Man Sport
yeah it's a Grown Man Sport
Like that
This one goin' out dedicate this one to the almighty god
Rastafari Selassie
InI as we come of for 95 96
Ya live, respect
the one line with the "?" is actually
/ the climate gets hotter as the city gets smaller, more squalors /
Those words could come from my mouth :-)
Eat em up like flap Jack's in the morning time get my caffeine on now it's time to rhyme yo shine like the early rise get em all like whoa cause the rhymes r so divine praise the lord cause he helped me out all thruout my time here in this world so cold yeah
Whaaaat, no way. Have to check that out then, a show that knows about this music...
Even though it's from 2003 I believe, it still kinda takes me to Pelham Park back in the late '70's. Jazzmatazz.
This is from 1995
I get freaked out and relaxed listening to Pete Rock sipping shremp
Marking my territory right here
Best beat of all time .....
love love loveee
Pete Rock is a God
Oh my goodness gosh this is so good
I wonder what was going through Pete's head when the piano sample came on in the Fela song. I know i'd be excited as hell.
Fela did this in the 70s
The guy with the rollerblades should be the official video for this song 😂
The Goodness... My God... #FistUpForRealHipHop
