I think lil dap’s voice would fit today’s culture. I just feel his sound is made more for today.

common, the b1tch in u, is a must y'all...the havoc remix version or the Pete rock original.

Yo, "Black on Both Sides" was my vote for hip hop album of the year in '99. Y'all gotta react to the rest of this joint! "Mathematics", "New World Water", "Speed Law"... Damn, just react to the whole album!

I just found you guys recently and been watching all the old school hip-hop ya'll been reviewing.. I dig the channel & since I'm from NYC and grew up in that era of Hip-Hop I thought to give ya'll some direction. So, Mos Def is a top 10 MC of all-time.. (even tho his catalog is small but that's how great he is) but you need to check out his first album with Talib Kweli as the group Black Star. Unbelievable chemistry between them & since you like the creativity from him, it really hits on that album. Whole album is dope.. and the beats go hard.. but if I have to pick one song from it for ya'll to review, go with "Definition" but I want you to play "Re:Definition" with it bc they mix into each other. P.S. I think you might recognize the sample from another MC you go hard for... Peace

Angela Yee singing on the hook in the video, but it’s not her that sings the part

Menace to society was amazing! Above the rim is definitely my favorite. Also New Jersey drive, the show, Friday, tales from the crypt was good too, and murder was the case had a banging soundtrack. It was hard to just pick one favorite

Mobb Deep Shook Ones Pt 2, Survival of the Fittest, Back at You. Come on now what you waiting for.

introduce 2pac in

This my favorite rap song of all time. EB and Rakim. High school years. And this shit STILL HITS!!!!

He said smoke with meth he means method man in back

8:20 The moment the music takes over his heart and mind in synchonicity!

This beat was originally made for Nas. Some beats off the album was for Nas. I'm glad he didn't take them. We would've never got Group Home.

Different era, there wasnt no pause or Diddy bs

Ice t was cold MC

Y'all tripping. Will Smith is def not trash. Listen to brand new funk.

Mass appeal. Did y'all do that

Move the crowd. Rakim. He had the af1s on. He started them

Remember Deck said. Leave it up to me while I be "living proof" teach the truth to the young black youth. That was early shout out to them from Deck.

Another Fire 🔥 Reaction my g's keep em coming. Here's some recommendations; "Boomerang" - Big Pun (Feat. Armageddon) "Terror Squadians" - Fat Joe (Feat.

😮 when the 🦉 was out of the cage at night, he caught all of the 🐀. Now!, the owl 🦉 is caged it will sing on it Prey!… now that he has protection

Next time...Google the lyrics OG. & Did you guys buy your KZfaq name? If not .... Make sure no one owns it. Or big 💰💰💰💰 later

Speaking of Inspectah Deck and Gangstarr you absolutely MUST react to Gangstarr - Above The Clouds (feat. Inspectah Deck) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9Ryg6mk37zTaKM.html one of the most perfect Hip Hop records of that era, a True Classic in every way a song you put on repeat when you first heard it until you learned all the Lyrics --"I Self Lord and Master shall bring Disaster to Evil Factors..." is how it starts! a Hip Hop Spiritual!!

Pun is definitely up there with the spitters, he from the BX no surprise. Good reaction 👍

i understand it's a tough song to go back to 30 years later but honestly this was an underground favorite that would be more like a 9 rating because of the Premier production and how popular it was because it's just a perfect record for every DJ to add to their hip hop mix so you heard it everywhere.

You guys would faint from euphoria if you reacted alone to DJ Premier's production on the Group Home Livin' Proof album. It's considered to be his greatest work ever!!!

premiere is cutting up inspectah deck lyrics from CREAM on his turntable...

Smiffnwessun sound bwoi burial 💥💥💥

b ro its not diddy...you have to listen ...its a play on words...and hes talking about him moving on the scene....and he is talking about his knife that he has...mutilate ...penetrate...its not no homo shit bro....

Check out kool g rap ill street blues

He spanked that a$$

Westside connection "all the critics in nyc"

Hip hop used have posse cuts where everyone was spitting 🔥🔥🔥

Kurupt "calling out names" thank me later

No twerkin 😂🤣

Premo is obviously cutting up Inspektah decks voice.

The gods aka the 🐐s!!!!!!!

MAN, he beat on Run DMC hard in this one

"Putting Shame in Your Game" is a dope song that doesn't get a lot of love on KZfaq really...you guys should check it out. But Beastie Boys weren't just great hip hop artists, they were also incredible musicians...check out "Son of Neckbone" also. No lyrics, all instrumental...but really shows the versatility these guys had.

Pun dope . That's it that's all

Yo I still bump this. It was cool to see yall hear it for the first time. Yo you gatta to find the blend him and Aretha doing this

One of my all time favs! R.I.P. PIMP C

Yo, this is a banger just like Jeru da damaga “ come clean or Zigghe “Toss it up” and this is BruceJohnson.

The hook is 100% sampled from Inspectah Deck's verse on CREAM. DJ Premier chopped it up nice.

Love group home mainly based on PREMO. I like what yall doin here. The contrast of opinions and interpretations of the older vs younger. Would love to recommend some tracks if yall take em.

Pun idolized Kool G Rap.... He even kissed his ring when they met. 💯💯💯

He was talking about penetrating the scene. It really was a filler but what you have to understand is back then we were not so hypersensitive over certain words, especially when it's easy to understand what they're talking about. From an old man's perspective, we get frustrated because now days a mufucka can't even have a conversation without somebody "pausing". I personally think it's sad that tge society is so out to prove it's not gay that words that existed long before this era can't even be used without somebody thinking it's gay. If i was to say to you in description, "when the fight started I was standing behind my homie"... somebody gonna say "what"!? It's ridiculous that EVERYTHING comes off that way. Oh I forgot, it's ridiculous that everything "works" that way.

Group Home is not known to be the best lyricists but this album Livin Proof was 99% produced by DJ Premier. His beats take them a long way. Once they strayed away from getting the Premier beats they went downhill but that album is a classic.

"You I will mutilate... when I penetrate....." you gotta listen youngster.. to mutilate something is to chop it up or cut it up..he's talking about his knife.. he just said " where's my knife.. take a chance wit ya life..."

Man I remember hearing Lil Dap on Gangstarr posse cut and knew I was gonna vibe Group Home, bought this cd the day it came out and it was fire.

Ohhhh y’all got one right there , I saw that and put the brakes on lol , s/o Dj premiere
