3rd Bass - Portrait Of The Artist As A Hood (Remix) 

Back when rappers were actually creative when it came to lyrics and videos! Damn, I miss these days. Word to 3rd!!!

3rd Bass were underrated.

all i have to say is 3rd bass were legends before their time!!!!

Word. The Cactus album is a Masterpiece and its still spinning on my turntables after all this years. Greets

Pete shines at 3:50 those lyrics are still in my head 15 years later... -wolfey

Thanks for the upload. I saw this video on MTV back when it was new, and I've found myself wanting to see it again after I saw a video of Gilbert Gottfried reading from Fifty Shades of Grey.

Man I Feel Sorry For 3rd Bass They Could Have Been Bigger.

We knocked boots and the boots got knocked!! lol :D Straight ill classic!

Jep got it on plastic! Was hard to get in germany back in the days.

"Tried your best but you can’t understand You’re like Art Garfunkel and eat spam I drive a yak with a skirt you drive an Edsel I’m takin turns and I twist em like a pretzel." Whaaaaaaaaat??? Demented!

I like the video. Brings back memories, but I wish the audio was much louder.

love it love it. hip hop is color blind yall. i memba seeing this joint on mtv and i like this beat betta than the orignal print that wuz on the album.

That's true.....thanks, Rich

You never thought a Gangsta could talk sense! Pete Nice in my opinion outshined Serch on the Mic.

OH, MY EYE! I CAN FEEL THE BLOOD RUSHING DOWN MY EYE!

"YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT A GANGSTER CAN TALK SENSE"

Yo degrees u know da deal par! I used to run home after school to record Video Music Box, the OG of Video Shows. I still have the Cactus album on vinyl and cassette. Actually pollied one day with MC Serch in 92' @ Burlington Coat factory in 5 Towns, he was trying to talk me out of boosting some Polo shit...my response was I was a Product of my Environment!! True Story!

gilbert gottfried killin it!

Dope Lyrics, Real Hip Hop..not ignorant raps of today! Classic Video..3:06 "and pop rap couldnt get a dime to eat"..Funny now these pop hop artists are making millions off baby rhymes! sad state of hip hop

One of the few videos that had Yankee Stadium in it.

Thanks man! Greets from germany.

awesome!!!! Thanks for the upload!

nice quality of sound

I Can't Believe That Pete Nice Was Shucking The Judge Gilbert Gottfried That Wasn't Nice LOL!

dude , dats wat i called old skool......

That's real talk, money grip!!!

ps I LOVE the old man costumes

I like the album version better, but I do like the way they sampled "Carry On" from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in the chorus in this.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Du bon son qui passait dans rapline a l'epoque.third bass......

Samples "Theme From S.W.A.T" by Rhythm Heritage. It's the part where they take it to the bridge.

thats a sample from the theme to the old TV show SWAT!

Can't believe these kids got dissed for "trying to be Black" WTF?! Glad they came correct with "Product of the Environment" How did Serch win the belt in 1988? Lyrics!!! Pete gets props as a hoopster and artist. Nuff said!!

I used to get dogged in Detroit for likin' these BROTHERS!!! And years later Serch ended up bieng the #1 morning drive DJ in Detroit, that's why I left, SMALL THINKIN'MUTHAFUCKA'S!!!

oh my eye! LOFL!

Gilbert Gottfried's made into a lot of Third Base videos I wonder what the connection was

Thanks for posting this. It's a shame the sound quality is so poor.

Aufjedenfall hatte auch derbe Solo sachen am start damals.

Didn't know my boys made a video for this version. But what happened to the part where someone says "Today I'm prepared to bring specific charges against certain members working in an industry that reaches into every household in the country"? I'm trying to figure out who said that. Was it a president or maybe J Edgar Hoover?

Isn't that the same wall(where the graffiti is) where they filmed "I Ain't No Joke" by Eric B. & Rakim?

Does anyone know the name of that classic sample? And where i can get a copy of it? Saw 3rd bass at kentish town forum in whatever year they split as it was a week after the gig.

Rappers don't flow like this anymore.

@nportillo73 not to mention they don't need to swear, and they use multisyllabic, interesting words a lot. Eminem makes rhymes by rearranging one and two syllable words and/or saying them faster until he can finally squeeze out a rhyme on the last syllable. Also, they're all common everyday words, nothing really poetic at all, just over-dramatic and always crass. Not that Eminem has no skills, he's got something (I guess), but I just far far prefer this stuff. Guess I'm just an old man haha.

3rd bass ripped it sooo nice!! they could wax any of these new age rappers and would destroy eminem and that suck ass lil wayne or kanye west or any of these bullshit rappers in the scene. this album was soooo slept on and under rated it aint even funny.

ya i know lad. But got it from a VHS record!

yeah you are

VHS Tape record :/

i dont get it why not use the original version for this video that beat from the album is hot as balls from a 91 summer

anyone know where I can get that beat?

Rule #1 Don't "lend" anything to chicks. Rule #2 Follow rule #1

is this the only insult you have?

i love this song but this remix sux

wack song
