2024 here. I bought this album on cassette the day it dropped in my hometown at exclusive company. I miss those days. Nothing will ever compare to the 92-97 hip hop scene. The best ever ever hip hop came from those years. Don't argue with me lol. There are many reasons these years churned out the fire that it did. The new tech in music making allowed for certain things to be done in hip hop that could not be done before and the originals started mastering the equipment from the jump and we started hearing that underground boom bap sound. Oh the nostalgia. My Sony walkman cassette studied soooo much early nineties hip hop its glory. And the difference constantly listening to music through headphones makes for a more in depth experience. My roots and knowledge is deep. Gravediggaz will always be my top favorite. Salute 🙌
Yeah, it took me like 5 views and a tour through comments to see what's the deal with the video, i don't know what other members of GD look like but the guy on RZAs part definitely wasn't him so i checked it and voila. Extremely good fan made video, probably one of the best i have seen on RU-vid.
Rip to my friend Josh that died last weekend. Back in the late 90s we should spend our Friday nights rolling around listening to this, going to pizza Hut & eating a Big New Yorker, smoking swisher wood tips, and drinking 5 o'clock gin. It sounds stupid now but I miss those days and miss him. By the way great video.
It doesn't sound stupid at all. Keep remembering your boy. It keeps him alive. Trust me, my childhood friend from literally 4years old died from an overdose that was planned with a note and everything. He was an amazing guitar player, much better than I was and if he was here still we'd be rich. He had that much talent. He played everything. Piano, drums, guitar was his main, obv bass, production, our first 3 tracks on our cd were literally written by just him and a solo by me. That's insane. At 16 he wrote an entire song, every instrument, even lyrics and where they're go.....I miss him to this day I'm old now man .....(Oct, ,89"), and I feel older if ya know what I mean. The fellow addicts know lol. Anyways
Damn right now....i grow up with a lot more geniuses group's in the middle of the 90s. The beginning of a new story about music.....hiphop n.w.a never die 🙊🙉🙈🖖🏼😈
Maybe your a bastard child ya think/ Mom and Dad are white and ya dark as ink.... Maybe a Sicilian with a tan/ but you hate lasagna and the pizza man 🔥🔥
Wow...I didn't realize this was fan-made until RZA's part (I'm not familiar enough with what the rest of Gravediggaz look like, sadly). Nice job! It even captured the mid-90's hip hop video look.
I think he meant that was his reaction when it got to RZA's verse in this fan-made video. It seems other people were like me and thought this was an official video until RZA's verse.
+Delete huh, i guess you are a newer fan of gravediggaz. at first i almost got fooled too, i was like damn they dont even look the same as gravediggaz members lmao . great vid tho the cold dark colored vid and the concept really fits the song, definitely worths an official vid
These guys were and still are among the greatest poets/musicians/artists I've heard. From back in the day to now never get bored of listening.. Possessed by evil spirits, voices from the dead, I come forth with gravediggaz in a head full of dread!
That will not help anyone who out of own choices is suffering, theyre not suffering because they are mad they didnt get a lambo, they are depressed because its easy to forget how blessed you are when youve never been shown the lack of such blessings. alot of people like me grow up all alone not realizing they are blessed from all sides and it is up to them to make use out of the tools theyre given, wether theyre bullied or not. it is not up to our surroundings to live life to the fullest or not, we cant keep our happiness dependant on others, and if someone is preventing it, we must try to take action
Unfortunately the actors don’t look like the real Gravediggas, but the music video was really good and could pass as official to anybody that doesn’t know the gravediggas well. I don’t understand why there’s hate
+Henny Lopez he knows he is not Italian. he is trying to convince himself that he is some form of European because he is black adopted by white people.
Andromeda funny u say that, I am watching a show called Love on Netflix right now that uses this song in episode 2 and immediately started singing along. One of my all time favorite tracks. Glad they used it in both shows. I hear the Leftovers is a crazy good show too!
The video is a great representation of depression, it's like costantly being reminded of how worthless you feel and nobody but you can see it like in the begining where you can see a man talking to the jumper and giving him a bottle, but when we see it from another perspective he is alone
for such a dark song its pretty dope...if you ignore the words its very chill love the beat and honestly its burned into my memory when it was played at the beginning of LEFTOVERS episode cuz of the suicide cults. They always played great songs in that weird show (finale was a disappointment)
Was listening to this tune while at the gym, and completely forgot about my surroundings. Pretty much yelled out “YOU FUCKED UP CHICKEN!!!!”....got the strangest looks ever lool
It was good for me to know afterwards that this was not an official but a fan-made video clip because that is a kind of appreciation of favorite songs or artists. Good work, fellas!
Been playing this since 13 B. 28 years later still a banger. Man I miss the old New York. Shit was dope back in the day in NY. Ain’t the same anymore. Floridas the spot now. Live free.
One of the 90s best hip-hop like grunge,,,,,90s era are best of songs and rap,,,side dy side,,no gimmicks just pure rap drums bass and turntables,,,but not today you go to a concert and you artist with a laptop,,,then the people.watching has a lot of cellphone,,,what's the thrill of that,,😂😂
Oh to be 15 again! I remember hearing this in 1995 and liking it. This was the last track on the Demon Knight movie soundtrack that I bought on tape that I listened to endlessly.
I legit had this album on cassette in 94 when I was in 8th grade. I used to use a sony walkman and earbuds hidden in a starter jacket to listen to this album in Ms. Powers homerun class. This is a dope fan-made video that I have watched many times, well done.
Dear god, this is excellent. I'd never have guessed this was fan made if it didn't look so modern, oddly enough. Absolutely fantastic work! Mindblowing!
J'ai donné 5 étoiles, c'est un des premières albums que j'ai acheté quand j'étais au primaire, aujourd'hui je suis assez âgé et j'adore autant. Merci beaucoup. 👌✌️
Fan from the 90s. Years later I discovered Necro when I tried to find other artists in similar genre of Gravediggaz. The instructional style of this track is similar to his Dead Body Disposal.
fun fact: those wispers you can hear, if you play that break beat in reverse, it actually says ....graaaaavediggaz graaavediggaz...and its a lot more scary. I found that out by sleeping with my autoreverse yellow walkman. The autoreverse was fucked up so instead of playing the other side it played the tape in reverse... fell asleep, hit the button while sleeping, woke up scared as shit until i realized what was hapening.
Poetics verse is one of my favorite on this album, may be one of my favorites of all 90's hip hop. Half singing half rapping, such a weird juxtaposition in a song about suicide.
[Chorus: KRS-One] Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide [Verse 1: Frukwan/Gatekeeper] So you wanna die, commit suicide Dial 1-800-Cyanide line Far as life, yo, it ain't worth it Put a rope around your neck and jerk it The trick didn't work Your life was fucked up from the first day of birth After watching Jackie Gleason, walk into a precinct Gun down the captain for no fucking reason And get some LSD or a drink from the bar Get behind your wheel and crash the car Like Desert Storm, got bombs for the war Confront an alligator, let it eat ya raw Back to the function, riding the caboose to hell BZZZZZT touched the third rail You fucked up chicken, now you just got fried Cause it's a suicide [Chorus: KRS-One] Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide [Verse 2: Too Poetic/Grym Reaper] Hey, you, little rich kid, what's your beef? Come and tell the Grym Reaper all of your grief You asked for a Benz and you only got a Jeep Your pop's got ends, but yo, he's mad cheap Maybe you're a bastard child, you think Mom and Dad are white and you're dark as ink Maybe you're Sicilian with a tan But you hate lasagna and the pizza man Now you stand on the Gravedigga plot and You're singing the blues about the rough life you've got (Not!) You don't wanna live no more I guess you're really ready for the graveyard tour When you get home, just seal up your windows and you doors Turn your oven on high for about four hours Light you a blunt, kiss your ass goodbye You gassed yourself, 'cause it's a suicide [Chorus: KRS-One] Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide Suicide it's a suicide, biddy bye bye Suicide it's a suicide [Interlude: Scott (the Moleman) Harding] Yep, I've said it before and I'll say it again Life moves pretty fast If you don't stop and look around every once in a while You could miss it [Verse 3: RZA/RZArector] Six fucking devils stepped up playing brave, God Had the fucking nerve to try and enter my graveyard I'm the Rzarector, be my sacrifice Commit suicide and I'll bring you back to life The first was convinced, stuck a water hose in his mouth At full blast so his head can explode Second one said, "Hmmmm, that's good but I can top it!" Put a axe up to his head and then he chopped it Blood shot out in every direction The rest didn't know what to do, I made suggestions Put a slug in your mug; overdose on a drug Wet your hand, stick a knife in the plug Or be like Richard Pryor, set your balls on fire Better yet, go hang yourself with a barbed wire Three and Four fell deep into the spell and Ran to the zoo, locked themselves in the lion's den Number Five said, "It ain't worth being alive!" Smoked a dust joint, mixed it with cyanide The only one who escaped was Number Six He went home, sat in the tub, and slit his wrists Yeah, more graves to dig, goodbye There's no need to cry... 'cause we all die
