Damn, when did this get to 60k plays? Haven't checked this video since 2012 haha. Anyways, enjoy the dopeness. I don't own this, yada... yada... yada... you get the idea
A lot of people say that they wish this person or that MC could have had these beats to rap over and Group Home didn't do Premiers beats justice are wrong. I think that's part of the beauty. The lyrics were raw, rugged, simple and pure. They really let you feel what those who made up the inner cities of the 90's felt. It was a statement to more than just music. The average "ghetto youth" didn't speak and write as well as Nas or Jay Z. Premo gave them the ultimate backdrop to express those thoughts and feelings of what we all wanted to hear, that pain & the struggles they went through. Premier was the canvas and they were the brush strokes, together they painted the picture of East Coast Projects of the 90's. Classic!
This beat is one of those tracks you play when you been through some shit and it's raining and you're high as fuck thinking about your life and those who passed. As the track plays and mellows out you remember life is a trip and not to take it so seriously and appreciate that fuckin rain
This beat is deep, much like the one for Mobb Deep's Shook One's Part II. It only takes a few piano keys with a melancholy tone to tap into a profound resonance. DJ Premier, one of the best ever.
Early morning winter drive to work anthem. It’s been with me for some really beautiful and unforgettable drives. Sometimes I never saw another soul around. Alone with the slowly growing sky and the steely, sweet streetlights issuing over hills and through naked trees. This will always be my first-shift anthem!
Whom ever put a 'thumbs down' on this, should be kicked off RU-vid. This is top 10 instrumentals of all time. Even if you're not into Hip Hop, you can appreciate this.. Damn!
I gotta confess. I don't know how long ago it was but I accidentally click the "thumbs down" when I meant to click the "thumbs UP". So if you saw it go from 11 to 10, that was me! : D This is REAL HIP HOP FOR LIFE! Have to get that off my chest.
Idiots would thumbs down the PERFECT song on youtube I swear... There is always one hater out there no matter how great the song sounds who doesn't like it. Any song you click on has a dislike.
omg!!!!! ive been waiting for the full instrumental ever sence around november 2010!! DAMN! 4 real this is the best! the full instrumental ive always wanted 4 real!!
Dope beat indeed...Premo explained that at that time him and Guru were not taking cause of Guru's drinking problem..and case of course and Premo got a lot of time to do stuff for other cats and Mcee's...I mean u can hear the maturity of Premo's sound from '95..Dope

child of YAHAWAH come on man that album was trash lyrically, if it wasn’t for it being one of Preemos best produced albums I would’ve never peeped it. You’ll never catch me quoting a line from this album lmao
Says the peckerwood. Group Home may have not been as lyrical as other groups or individual emcees but they went hard. I lived this era. This shit was being bumped and nobody was talking out of the side of their neck about it.

One of Primo's finest. Personally, he wasted too many gems on this group. I never liked Group Home's simple rhymes, but the beats were some of the best around.
I feel that Livin' Proof would've been bigger and more memorable of an album if it wasn't for group home's simple and mudane lyrics. The beats were probably the most sophisticated primo has ever done
nah the lyrics are just as memorable, their music feels more personal than most lyrical dudes, even if someone made "better" lyrics and rapped them over these beats the songs overall wouldnt be better in the end
Premo really saved some of his best beats for these kids, knowing damn well he could have reserved them for other, more talented artists. Preme really just loves thr culture and was down for his people.
True but imo it’s poetic that he did save his best shit for these dudes. Like someone above me said, the average kid in NY at that time wasn’t gonna write as well as Nas or Jay. It came from a place of point blank rawness.
It's nice to know i'm not the only one out there, kind of restores some of the respect i have for humanity. Not only does it seem that good rappers/mc's are an endangered species but people that actually pay respect to them aren't far behind.
