the flow he has on this is crazy "From Rykers to Middleton life as a middleman Spendin life illegitimate livin life in imprisonment"

I can't believe this one released about 15 years ago... still dope.

One of the most underrated, unsigned rappers ever

No chorus, just Term spitting nonstop fire for almost 4 minutes straight.

What a nostalgic song man, i was in grade 9 when i first heard this and didn’t understand how deep it was., im now 27 years old now and i understand everything in these lyrics. Shout out to term for overcoming the odds and all the positive things he does for society now.

Real Hip Hop doesn't need a label, nudity, bitches, violence, hate, status symbols or any other attempts to split society. Music by good people for good people, a positive message to all of humanity expressing sorrow, criticism, naming social issues hoping and rapping for a better future. Wish more people would watch how it go down! Classic banger

A decade later, still banging and still unsigned...

16 years later and this is still FIRE. Terminology killed one of the best Premo beats. I remember being broke as fuck listening to this when it dropped. Memories of the stuggle 💪

Term is a legendary, He might not get as much shine as he should but his music is timeless and will live on forever!

Still one of Premiers hardest beats EVER!!!!!!

Termanology understood the assignment and kept it boom bap back then and still presently.

2023 such a masterpiece

This track never gets old. Timeless!! Term and Prem! Saw him on Kayslay "50 Deep" glad to see hes still in the game!!

This cut is a timeless classic. Long live underground hip-hop!

Now we have 2019... Where are those days, where is this rap, where are those beats... Greetings from Europe, Poland good people!

He stood up for hip hop in the middle of the ring tone era! Respect ✊

when music was music

One of the best show outs on a premier track. I cant remember being this excited since. Shout out to Term still nicer then most

Termanology is one of those cats that should be on radio.This joint is incredible.Term's flow,his rhyme schemes,and the substantive nature of his lyrics are so on point.The song's just made so much better by having Premier on it.

Still here in 2023 banging this Classic shit. #MassLuv

Glad this finally hit a mill

I like new Term, but this is probably his best song ever. I don't think he could ever fucking top this

Best Dj Premier beat. Respect from Turkey

Everytime I hear this ish it's like they just drop it....10+ years later 🔥🔥 🔥

Who still banging this in 2020!!💯 straight 🔥 PREEMO is the 🐏💯

no matter how many times i hear this song, it always amazes me, term is an incredible rapper

I’m a fan. 16 years ago. Genius…GOD BLESS

One of the most underrated tracks in hiphop history. Love everything about this fucking track

No recommendation... searched for this classic

Wow 15 years ago

his flow is incredible on this track..you cant shine more on a premo beat

15 years and this summer heating up.

love the energy in this track. nice flow too!

Dude can rhyme his ass off! Dope!

2023 still fkn 🔥🔥 Term went crazy on this Primo beat

Straight classic. 2019 and this is STILL a straight classic amazing term been doing his thing sense before 06

"I'm bringin the message like Kanye West except your boy got more techs than Ron Artest"

This is what started it all off for me,my love for term he came to a club in Cambridge,he performed this and killed it.

Probably one of the best songs of all time

Always loved this joint from when it dropped. Term goes in on that ill preemo production!. 🔥 I ran into Term a few years back in NYC, told him I'm from Australia and I found him off this joint right here. He showed love right back and is just one of those real ones doing it for the art!. I got nothing but love for Term and his work ethic!!. ♥

This should have a million views easy

Some real passion some real hip hop here

2024 and still a certified classic!!

Great track. Termanology speaking facts for a decent bit

Remember getting the vinyl at Fatbeats in NYC before they closed.

Fuck yes, how have I not heard of this dude before now?! This is some real '90s sounding shit. Illin!

awesome beat and rap 2023 old and gold

Classic Premo beat

Nobody got shit on Dj Premier

almost 10 fucking years peace Term

Can’t believe 2006 was so long ago I remember when this first came out it was a fucking banger then and it’s a fucking banger now

This song has never left any of my playlists since it came out 💯

you could hold a debate about the economy on a preemo beat and it's gonna sound next level.

Big Pun smiling down thinking look what I did!

The instrumental channels brought me back to the best age💎💯 When you spit truth they shadow you😇

When i first heard this back in the day I couldn’t stop relaying it .. jus remember the beat and the flow was so clean

Iv'e always kinda slept on Term. I used to play the first 1982 album a little, and was aware of this song, but never checked Fizzyology or anything. Maybe i should change that.

Termanology would roast kanye

man termanology is fast becoming one of my favorite rappers right now, the east coasts future looks a little brighter with him on the scene and fellow show off records maestro reks :D

This is the greatest music video of all time

Why can't he go off like this on every song?

This nigga gives me the chills B

2019 and its still 🔥

The funkiness of this track is amazing af.

the tec will have u clearin the room

Spittin' fire right there son, killin it! Much love to the Nine VII Hate!

Still and always top notch rap music

Its good to know my born city has good rappers

I see myself as the holy resurrection of Pun If I ain't that then you name one Rapper that's lyrical slash Latin, political passed rappin With visuals past Malcolm and fittin to go past platinum It's hard but I speak the truth inspired to teach the youth The fire that heat the booth the high hat the beat the loop The system it traps us in they tacklin rappers in These shackles that pack us in the back of the clack is in I'm packin the Mac again like Capital Punishment Huggin the gun and then runnin and duckin from the government They dyin to cuff me up lock me down touch me up Cock the pound bust me up stop my sound hush me up But I shall never hold my tongue Before that, I roll my blunt and load my gun Give a kiss to my daughter tell my mother I love her And blow the brains out a couple dirty cops undercover Crooked detectives is foul how they book and arrest us For cookin and stretchin we just tryna feed our kids The streets crazy wild plus it get crazy foul Listen when I say it now (watch it how it go down) And that's the reason little kids get hit by strays Cause muthafuckas can't act they age Before you learn how to shoot, better learn how to aim There's already enough of our people that's dyin from AIDS I try and remain calm but it's fryin my brain And I am ashamed our generation die over chains Alive on the pavement leakin out the side of they brains Tell me when will this environment change We need new leaders but all we get is new heaters And divas and two-seaters as soon as that loot see us It's a bad cycle, just look how they bagged Michael Which one anyone Jordan Jackson Action pack guns ridiculous How they ship to us then we hit the bus From Rykers to Middleton with life as a middleman Spendin life illegitimate livin life in imprisonment When I think of my niggas and I think How many are locked I see they never did (watch how it go down) And that's the reason little kids get shot in the street Cause muthafuckas never (watch how it go down) And last week my buddy lost his whole family It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity I walk the town strapped just hopin the pound clap Correctly and protect me in case they wanna come and wet me My enemies on the street far exceed my friends So when you see me you don't see no Benz That just make me an easy target to jump up and meet the coffin And makin my seed an orphan the car then I'm speedin off in Is stolen I see the narcs in my vision I see the cops and they grippin they pistols tryna put me in prison So I listen to Pac's best and try to be non-stressed But how can I not stress the fact that I'm not richer I'm livin in poverty plus I'm a minority Plus are my priorities fucked in this economy Rap music is probably not the best career you can choose But hearin my views like hearin the news So fear me if you skepticize homie but it's clearly the truth The Tech Nine'll have you clearin the room I ain't a killer but I'm somethin like a prophet I'm tryna get y'all to stop it see the ghetto's microscopic It's a better place but for now we got the bread to chase Catch a case get bailed out back to stretchin base I'm bringin a message like Kanye West Except your boy got more Tech's than Ron Artest I know you wanna see me stretched be my guest Handle your biz but make sure you (watch how it go down) The streets crazy foul plus it gettin crazy wild Listen when I say it now (watch how it go down)

3:39 The Alchemist XD

The biggest compliment you can pay Terminology is that he did justice to this Premo beat. Crazy beat and ill flows. Thats all it takes, but many artists these days can't get this simple formula rite!

One of the most iconic albums ever! That and illmatic

#GOAT

real talk

No doubt a classic track, Term absolutely destroys this and still doing it.

2019 one of the best song eveeeeeer

Real

Whose listening 2016

Notification alert: cash is on its way back

One of the best moments in New England Hip-Hop.

This was such an obese tune!!

Blawwwww keep it real nel 2023❤❤ big up from 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

Boston in the house yessir!

this guy & reks from boston are bringing fresh blood to hip hop!

Damn! The beat is sick and dope at the same time. Probably one of Premo’s best. And Termy killed this

termanology + dj premier = good hip hop !

One of the most underrated ever.

Term left the earth when he laid them vocals.

This can be the best song of all hip hop history

It’ s 2020 and this is still fresh as f.

this sound is huge i salute the performance of terminalogy and Dj Premier I would like to tell all fans of the underground rap community around the world to keep the hip hop spirit as we know it. We are going through a difficult period where nonsense has taken over. in rap Our vision is ridiculed by the new generation. Continue the underground hip hop do not stop because we are at war From Paris France Thanks

Real Rap.......i miss this kinda music

I listened to this song at least 1 a day from the spring of '06 until the summer of '07 lol I was addicted to this track.

A dope rapper who never sold his soul.. period.

straight fire, you do great work statik

Wow. Had this on a bootleg street cd years ago. Around 2005 and was bumping it heavy in 06. Where did the time go

He's always killing it. So good

Nothing like old school east coast hip-hop.

big pun respect fratmò la vecchia scuola 🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊❤❤❤

This song was slept on for like 8 years
