king tee was the only west coast dude i used to bump when I lived in cali..his flow was universal and one of the best..his music still trumps some of these new cats.
@@steeltownbrown52 no, you remember how it would have the commercial break sometimes it would play through before and after a commercial break..."we'll be back with more rap city after these messages..."
So very true, I remember only certain radio stations would play hip hop and some of the harder beats were played off the college radio stations or very late at night on the main stream stations.
Hip hop was way better back then and exciting i was just telling my friend that the other day in fact i tell him that all the time. Im proud of myself because when i first met him he was in to all that new trash like lil Wayne soulja girl young grezzy and i converted him to real hip hop by showing him videos from before 2001 and making him listen to my play list of real hip hop.
That Marley Marl remix! Dope instrumental for the old Rap City intro with Joe Clair, Big Lez, and Tigga right after Prince Dayjour and Chris Thomas left. This was my shit when I was 12!
U just made me realize this is just like -talk like sex. I guess that's one reason I luv this song, the beat is so similar. This song went DUMB hard. Luv it til 2day. King Tee rocked it.
I remember this kid had the flyest lyrics on the west coast back then. He was like the only one I could remember from the west coast who had an east coast flow.
@sprouse9 Yeah Marley Marl always stood out as far as production goes . Favorite singles and classics below are timeless 1.- "He cuts so fresh" Best song as far as representing The skillz of DJING 2. "Marley's Scrach" Featuring Mc Shan 3. "Bass Game" Finesse & Synquis
King-tee, Ice-T, Ice cube, and the boo ya tribe! Man, this brings back Memories! Pussy Music Nowadays cant touch this! Rap back in the days was real life and not BS like the ish thats out today.
Actually there were 3 themes to BET's Rap City. 1. Carole Davis' "For The Love Of Money" 2. King Tee's "It's At Your Own Risk (The Buddha Mix)" 3. KRS-One's "Rap City Theme"
This is real rap right here...Where it had people scared of it, because it was "REAL"...The stuff right now is watered down to make a certain group of people comfortable...how sad.
I’m here!!! just to see who did homework, I got to live this CALI era, I still bang this hella loud.. do ya homework on the “ lik wit crew” the Alkoholiks OG freeway mentioned.. peace
"Marley Marl Remix, Marley Marl Remix Singular" Kinda funny though that Ice T was in this video with LL Cool J's producer who did this remix lol...but it's all good and they are tight lol
@thesouthrapsucks You can still do that while maintaining artistic integrity and managing to be taken seriously. In his case, it's getting old, not growing up.
The same Marly Marl. The one and only. This was one of the first, if not the first, east coast west coast collaboration. The average gold teeth gangsta was too illeterate and too stupid to know about this at the time, but everybody in NY knew exactly who produced it. Marly Mall was like a precursor to Dr. Dre.
