Dr. Dre wanted everyone to know that east/west rivalry is nonsense and got two west coast emcees RBX, B-Real and two east coast emcees KRS-One, Nas. He even got Scarface from Down South. Dre just wanted everyone to know that Hip-Hop is universal
Yeah they were exposing the industry back then, B real clearly states that when he says true enemy lies killing in the highrise.From the intro to the end they all killed it one fat Collab...
It was good seeing RBX and Dre link up again after death row. X was important to the gfunk era. I always loved his delivery. He never got the props he rightfully deserved as a lyricist and song writer.
Most people don't realize how many rappers went on record at the time to express unity against those who were trying to divide East/West. Imagine being a West Coast rapper who in the early 90s who had just started collaborating with people from the East Coast, or the West Coast in the sense of New York rappers, getting on each other's records, appearing in their videos, going to national hip-hop conferences, coming out to support at shows, and all of a sudden they are making everyone choose sides
tanmay ghate honestly rap is about both, it's the duality of lyrics and beats together that makes a song a masterpiece Can't have one without the other
I kept singing that part that went,"yes indeedy, lyrical graffiti "...... and searched those words to find out what song that was... I had this whole aftermath cd In 7th grade... i remember trying to bump it at my friends house,and they didnt like it... i loved that album,but i dont remember this song going that hard...😂😂
Everything in videos back then was real. Including all the extras, prolly Real Ex-cons, real Gang members, real Graffiti artists, real savages and Real Emcees. Word up !
B real's verse was the best! by the way I consider B real one of the best MCs ever! He got unique voice, unique style and crazy flow! Much respect to B real!
Aaah I remember the end of the 90's when there were a lot of post apocalyptic hip hops albums and music videos. Tical 2000: Judgement Day is one that comes to mind.
Sad that we won't see songs like these anymore RIP real rap that actually told stories not the drugs and chicks bullshit u see these days I'm only 18 and I appreciate stuff like this big time
timeismusic word and it wasn't even close. Nas sounded like he was on another level compared to the rest...and I'm as big a KRS fan as there is. Nas' flow, word play and lyrics were just superior to the rest. It's the only thing that made this beat listenable.
This video represents that bigger heads can come together and bring unity and peace.While at the same time dropping some bomb shit pac would of been proud.
This was the start of the end of the east coast west coast beef. It paved the way for niggaz to start working with each other n start making money together
This song was over looked, nobody was fucking with Dre after he left death row only a few artists. I still have this CD. 1996 was a tough year for Dre but he kept going and look at him now
