I used to call the radio station in San Antonio to hear this. Wish the kids today had a chance to experience people from era time. If you know you know
pound for pound one of the purest, cleanest, articulately, spit hip hop songs EVER recorded!!! Start to finish EASILY as good ANY studio recorded verses ever SPIT! #LYRICALSPITPERFECTED
King Born has the nicest cuts. only cat I'll immediately say is better is Jazzy Jeff. and his studio is clean as an operating room, lol #flatlandsent #goodlifemcs
Erule sampled that Lend Me Your Ear And Stop And Stare from a rapper from the late 80’s named Latee, song named wake up used to hear it on the radio as a youngster growing up in NYC
One of the most highly underrated rappers from the West Coast but originally from Chi town(Chicago) based in LA damm he should've gotten more recognition back then ...
Damn it’s been like 10’years since I last visited this video and song. I was 17 and now I’m 26 goin on 27 next year lol definitely nostalgic and happy I’m here again.
I was maybe 15 sitting in my room in the summertime listening to my favorite underground radio station in NYC. The wind is blowing through my window. I am writing raps to recite to my homies the next day in high school because the "Nicer" I am as an MC the more it keeps me out of trouble with the Thugs. Talent kept us safe and rhyming saved our lives. This track was a masterclass in Flowing for young kids learning themselves. God bless! I am 45 sitting in my house with my kids in safely in their rooms, Hip-Hop saves lives!
I remember I had this on viynl in 95 from fatbeats on Melrose. Shit was so dope I didn't even really flipped the instrumental . Gotta respect the classix
This is one of those songs that I mention to someone when I want to show them just how much of a hip hop head I really am. You either have to have been from that era or have seen the movie Kids to know about this track. It’s such a gem. Rap from 1993-1998 is still some of the best and purest form of music ever made. This song is testament of that time. Don’t think E-Rule made anything of major significance after this single dropped.
[Verse 1] Listen up, check it, E-Rule's about to wreck it No anaphora in my aura, verse I got the works when I freak it Disarm unique wits warms I seek it Diaphoretic in the energetic More than motion draws up kinetic, being combined with the vibe Not a man'll transcribe, though they tried I jot down in all and I do it all indeed I rock the whole jam Chumps know the program, identical to no man When I get busy who is he My formula rhymes In parallel lines in perfect, mics to short circuit Hark, it's worth it I'm on the brink of blowin up, y'all Examine hits however they fall with mics in flight Graphic when I grabs it, gab with forms of this sort Words I comports with no buts ands or ifs Laid on the reel, eventually the skill'll build I bag a ?? of the ?? ism, ill and chill When I feel I grow like shrubs over dubs indulging buds Maybe 4-20 Team hits on the elements of green What's the word?

Discovered this on Music Choice Hip Hop Classics this morning this is when Hip Hop was Real and it was about the culture More Thank you music Choice Hip Hop Classics for helping me discover a true gem 💎I’ll be bumping this a lot
William Elliott with a NY style,thats why he got so much airplay in the eastcoast when this came out...plus everybody thought he was from NY....lol...it was a shock when everyone found out he was in Cali.
#1 and it's 2024 and this is timeless so let us all record again with greatness like this and start Independent and this time stay Independent and manufacture real units CDs, Tapes, Vinyls and go straight to real radio stations and real retail in America and you will know how to get paid a real paycheck!
This is the paradox of infinite Infinity and life's algorithm of perplexed serenity and the tranquil affect of tranquility in a kinetic, energetic, magnetic, poetic, theoretic subconscious thought through wisdom and ability to see from the mind's third eye
@@joelector1556 ,,,OK ...BUT I NEVER MENTIONED HE WAS FROM NYC...I SIMPLY SAID HE LIKELY AQUIRED HIS KNOWLEDGE FROM NYC THROUGH THE FIVE PERCENT NATION...THE HEADQUARTERS ARE SITUATED IN BROOKLYN & HARLEM..
This is what Bruce Lee meant when he said be water. Erule is flowing like water over this track. I wonder what happened to him. I think I seen one full album from him called Cold Currentz but it didn’t get no promotion that I know of like this single. Really baffles my mind how he didn’t blow up back then. In this Era he would get looked over for the wack entertainment sh*t. I don’t even call Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, NBA Youngboy, etc Hip-Hop/Rap. It’s entertainment and that’s it. They are not preserving the art-form any more sad to say and it shows.
