I will never understand how we let Hip-Hop like this slip away from us..
Same thought..like how sway🤔🤔
Record companies.
Soon as Curtis blow & them sign record contracts in '79.
Now I understand why Grandmaster Flash and them didn't sign with Sugar Hill immediately.
It is one of the greatest travesties of mankind. At least those who know about it still know.
I love this comment
Exactly 💯
CL Smooth is one of the most underrated MC's of all time. His flow is sick.
Agreed!
Feel the same way one of the best lyricist to ever bless a mic!!
He's the smoothest other than Kane@@dwaintrent825
Yeah this Nigga does not 🚫 suck!!
If this beat doesn’t make you move your head and give you goosebumps then you have no right to listen to this masterpiece
No doubt fam
Or you're half-dead🤣
Just thinking the same!
One of the hardest beat and breakdown...ever...
Straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Pete and CL so underrated its ridiculous.
This is history,this is culture,this is art,this is rap!!!
THIS is hip hop! Not that nonsense you hear on the radio today, that i call HIP-POP
true that. back in the day hip hop artists kept it clean and rapped about something other than money violence and nonsense
A-DUB-U wrong m8 the subject manner was always the same
Preach brother. I have a 17 yr old and I hear more BS that his generation calls RAP MUSIC. This takes us to place of great times nobody died from beefing. Remember when break dancing solved everything. Dam getting old sucks
Definitely
Pete Rock & CL Smooth, one of the greatest hip-hop duo of all time!
ATRIBECALLED CAT All time bro!!
ATRIBECALLED CAT Amen!
4 sho!
Pete Rock and Cl smooth has a place in the hip hop history PERIOD!
*duos*
Purest form of Hip hop
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎
Born in 2000 every day wishing every day I as 15 in 1990
Speakin Truth My Brother
This 80's baby approve your message to infinity!!
I understand, trust me. Real Hip Hop is the greatest musical genre ever
Born in 01 but i love this kinda music 👍🏼
1992. What an incredible year. The west had "The Chronic" and the east had "Mecca and the Soul Brother". Everybody wins.
"The Chronic" is one of the most overated albums ever . The beats are kind of nice but soon get annoying and the lyrics are some of the dumbest ever recorded onto wax . Snoop doesnt stand up to the slightest scrutiny .. unbelievably wack.
@@rippedtorn2310 How can u say that..the chronic created a whole new genre
West coast is trash... the beats are the same and they rap about the same exact things. They honestly started the downfall of rap...
Patrick Q you sound like a sad hater the west coast was the shit that the time
It was a dope year.
The way CL rode that beat- absolutely insane. Pete Rock did his thing 😍 The best Classic Duo hands Down💯💯
His wordplay is unlike any other MC. "Carmel City" and Take You There" have some incredible rhymes that are practically woven into the beat.
yep, they rocked it.....
CL Smooth was one of the most underrated but dopest rappers of the 90’s era. Lexus LS400’s, dope samples and beats produced by Pete Rock…this video was shot like a movie. Classic shit 🔥🔥🔥
I swear this is more than music.
Soul food my friend 🙏🔥
BRING THE 90's back 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
We can do it listening to this songs ;)
Pleeeeease
@@opinionpublica7784 And play it on the block
I miss the 90's
The 90's was the last of the Real 1's just thankful i experienced it 💯
Never will be a decade like that again...
The positives that brings people together is far more powerful than the negatives that drives people apart
Free your Mind n the rest will Follow! Free yourself from Mental Slavery !
U right ¡!!!
Rob Perez the realest talk
Rob Perez righteously put my g
Rob Perez exactly
In 1992 I was 23 and I still Jam to this 2018 Detroit Eastside.
I tell my son that his Father was born in 1971 and because of that I got to listen and be around when rap/hip hop was at it's pinnacle. I tell him about my friend who was good friends with Tupac in Marin city aka "The Jungle" and told him about how Wrestlers talk about always maintaining K Fab, basically staying in character, today's rappers are average dudes, their material doesn't touch the masses, just certain niches. Rap back then was universal in how in changed lives. You had all walks of life and people and culture trying to emulate rappers like Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Krs-1. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth had real messages in their music. Many others as well, now we drill rap that doesn't unite. It kills and keeps us separated/divided and these labels love it. They put life insurance policies out on these literally here today gone tomorrow rappers, keep their masters and on to the next. Very sad.
This was the Golden Generation of Hip Hop..... We know how to do it back then.......
HipHop of today is not what it used to be HipHop of yesterday had meaning,understanding and passion.
Pete Rock was ahead of his time! CL was a great song writer! NY back then had a special energy.
90's hip hop was the best ever in my book!
Them horns, boy!!!
Yeah, I forgot about them , CL had a raw flow also.
Indeed, Pete Rock is mos def. an underrated as a producer.
Jazz+HipHop is the best combo
Yea Money Making Mount Vernon stand up. New York City lets get back to this shit man whats going on now dayz.
Yup!! #RealHipHop
Hip hop in 90s still the best
CL Smooth was far ahead of his time and his flow to advanced back then.
When u hear it u hear it .
Cl smooth hair style is 20 years ahead of time
Still bumping this in 2020! Pete Rock killed this beat!
Still bumping this in 2023 my man 👊🏽
Still relevant to this very day!
Yep....because the cream always rises to the top.
Still!!!!
This song never gets old classic for life
Hip Hop's Golden Era!!
"Pete a make a loop, lovely way to troop in da Lexus coupe!"
I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio with a blank cassette tape ready to Press record as soon as I heard it about to come on. This was so NYC! Dope!
Damn I remember those days 😂😂 aww man the memories.
Tru Story,I'm From Tha 315, And When I Heard This Joint I Went Bananas, Finally Hear This One's 4Tha Crew!!!!All Yeaaaaaaa
@@marystackhouse3232 that's what's up my g!
Yes and hope they don't mix with something stupid
CL in Caldwell
It's was definitely a privilege for me to be born in 1972. Our generation had the greatest experience !
Damn Right! Not a single lie detected!
GEN X ✌️🙏
Who is still listening to this in 2023🔥

It's a damn shame how far hip hop has fallen!!!
Cl flows so effortless , it’s really an incredible beautiful flow , my man is phenomenal lyrically and his cadence is second to none . Raw Hiphop at its finest .. The Great Cl Smooth
I was 12 when i first bopped my head to this and now at 42 I still smile, bop my head and share wit my grandbaby....💪🏿👊🏿🕺🏿🔥 TIMELESS IS THE WORD
🙏👊👊
Back when Hip hop producers were diggin' in the crates searching for that ultimate original break to use creatively to make a hit song/album. That is the foundation of Hip Hop, these new kids just don't know.
Funny how I play this kinda feel-good-hip-hop and the young ones be like, “You and your boring songs”. I just smile but deep inside I weep for em.
Pete rock & CL were just anotha example of the best hip-hop and showing other rap cats dat u didn't need to swear to come hard on an album. One of the few groups who put it together without curse words !
Heavy D too he didn’t swear either
Mt Vernon
Man that La la la la chokes me up every time I hear it!!!!! Showing black unity.
Late 80s to early 2000s Hip Hop will never be surpassed.
When Hip Hop lived......
N. Alford yo love you
--- > yep.
N. Alford for sure when it lived and brought people together
hip hop still lives. she just went underground
No Doubt Queen. True Hip Hop!
Real hip hop forever, 1.
SwaggerLikeUz is a great yuuuu iuiyyyheiuuuityiuiuyeeuuieuuuuuiiiieieyieiiih and urhehygeuuyiuuuuiuuuuuuieder
its more than real hip hop .if you dont know their classic you not hip hop .listen to is song is simply addictiv ..real i say real hip hop junkie.
The way they walked out of jail to the whips and drove off is classic i can feel the 90s thru my soul just by that scene
State of Address
Sodomy justifies adultery an a dimension of people under influence of a host paying tax for the trial of abuse. Passions need to be tamed, fantasies with the imagination isn't an escape. For the abused are vulnerable for help, but where there's deceit is self interest and mercenaries in a Kingdom of Sodomy, and best, one, self help. Its harder to meet peace than an argument, for some don't express their feelings nor share their hearts when they're hungry, least satisfied and humble. Desire (pleasure or vanity) looks for confidence, not protecting the well being of a people for a fortune (wealth) to support it, that one needs its intellect, as a people unite before the truth, where peace is best kept. Why, digest the breadth than the flesh and blood for the animal and be saved from a defied land. Avoiding adultery, avoiding forces and have salvation. If one doesn't share its heart and mind, influence will share what's left of it at a cost and release the animal when hungry, and better served with water. Principle can't be threatened to take bribes and loans to pay debt, principle is reinvested to life, and a labyrinth is taking more life than one in it, can give. Why witnesses protest it by fasting.
Who’s bumping this In 2022?
The intro to this song sound so authentic, the horns killed it !! the bass line critical, say whaaaaat, black people we must straighten it out.
Bigboiron all people sir
Eye Witness
What is at peace, cant be divided, its in control , full of love and happiness, and passage to a new day. So we count the tokens of life holding our breath for one more in will and prayer, and it doesn't take an attitude or animal, the codependent or weak, nor vanity to be humble with another on its knees. Its the will for peace and love, and yearn for attention, that brought us here together. Now all the tables that have been turned, and the ones turning, the truth is surfacing an all the hearts are being reveled; sincerity doesn't hide anything, an its keeping the peace. Its the silent in the night , the light after a storm, the peace before the rain; and better not to withhold the whole heart, the truth and nothing but, for the storm in the quite. Let thee have a witness to stand in its defense, its not under persecution, the guilty cant get it right; peace is in tranquility and higher plain of consciousness, at rest with peace, rich with the truth. Its old faithful " Let me get a witness " Dolls are pushed on girls adolescent minds for the holidays, days worship and faith in materialism , discriminating others like a pedophile in its temple house with its words and favor. The girls dress them with the dross they flaunt in its fantasy , while drugs are pushed on their subjects for all their fears service and money in a trillion dollar market , doing more destructive than help. Bad health is poor and drugs are destructive " Let me get a witness" ...
Eat the hearts of one another and digest it with understanding thee, before eating or influencing the mind and have one, united. The body is not used often for a job if one can hold it and the animal doesn't discriminate; why we are dependent on the brains. Walls don't separate the soul from another, but the flesh and blood from its relative and relativity. There's plenty of life for those who apply its principles with a contract and commitment, than following others, bread crumbs an ordinary line through a threshold. For everything has instructions, but they don't always answer and what the conscience don't need, don't apply to them; life always makes things better. Children don't argue to be praised, influence and pride honors those who follow it for worship and fortune, fighting to the end, short of it and fame.
Happy Birthday CL Smooth!!!!!!! "The birth of a child on the 8th of October,a toast, but my grandaddy came sober". Keep doing your thing.
My Birth Day
CL Smooth was one of the greatest lyrical story tellers on wax ever!
Now this is hip hop I love how rappers didn’t have to curse much.
Word
I respect hip hop artists don't curse a lot.

Summer of 1992 was crazy. Still remember it im 80s baby so I can relate.
Pure Hip Hop! No degrading women, glorifying ignorance. I miss the 90's, I was 19 when this came out and I still love it.
This is when music was at its best!
SOOOO HAPPY that I got to see Pete Rock/CL Smooth perform this album live in '92.
One of my all-time favorite hip-hop albums ever!
No wayyyy!!

+tharris91 Dude your music has no soul in it.
Straighten it out
As of this writing ✍️ it’s 2023 and Pete Rock and CL Smooth are now bitter enemies and still at odds with each other for over 20 years! Such a shame that these two brothers have been estranged from each other for so long! Looking at this video and them walking away hugging each other I pray that they can do what their classic says and Straighten It Out! 🙌🏾💯❤️💪🏽🙏🏾
First Album I ever bought. Still on this in 2016!!!! Timeless!
Danny Parsons that whole album is nice
The only hip hop album I bought
He has a CD Player in his car Radio very nice for 1992 :)
Imagine if Pete Rock and CL listen to themselves while riding around in their cars CL to Pete Rock dude we did a great job on these songs we did lol
those poor 1990's and 2000's babies who'd never will have the chance to witness all that stuff at the time, when there's no internet,
when you passed the cassettes with your homie, aah the good ol' days
23 years old jamming this old school got me feeling like I’m getting the power back in my hands as black man in America 🇺🇸
CL flow was smoother than hair on a snake
hahahahaaha
lol..
Smoother than 1960 processed hair!
CL is one of my favourite emcees. It sounds like you have flow too! :)
I still crank this shit for the class of 1992 bra
The 'Golden Age' of Hip Hop. Wish I could teleport back to this time.
I can’t help but nod along to this.
Me too
Late 70s 80s and 90s hip hop was the best eras. Today music and lyrics don't compare lost of positive messages back then
3 words...Good 'Ole Days!
Mecca and The Soul Brother, One of my favorite HIP HOP Albums of all time, plus it is one of the greatest HIP HOP Albums made period.
YEP.
Cody Brooks agreed
Cody Brooks from beginning to end. Love this album
Cody Brooks ..but 'The Main Ingredient',something special
I bought Mecca and the Soul brother without hearing a single track on it back in 92. It was all because of Shut em down remix.
26 years later... Still that shit. God, I love these men ♡

Savings account
Evil works harder, not smarter in fear , scrambling in a pickle concerned in trouble of whether it's going to score or not, an it's not a coincidence that its had the energy and money to fight. Dixie seemed to always be on their side and the interest was mutual between them, Dixie ( or Dollar index exchange) and evil. They never argued about the Interest they paid on the money to fight for the energy and spoil , and they never seemed to stayed together with out it. While migrating the refugees of its breed to its homestead and country , for country cooking ( if you know what I mean) and hospitality for business opportunities ; A share of the American Pie. Market Place.
Unfortunately for those (evil) in a Pickle, the Bank is the Peoples Not the Third Party, an all we need is a Bill of Signatures with a adequate interest rate index on savings accounts, strengthening our Country , Capitalism and Dixie ( or Dollar index exchange ); the American Dream, Balance, equality and salvation. Hunger makes a great pickle, saves Lives and promotes Health, younger looking skin , less to loan on, or on Vanity and better to help D.i.x.i.e than fear to have the dream, the dream with the Bill of signatures for a savings accounts with interest.
real pure hip hop it gets no better than this!!
