this generation will never understand the importance of the 90s in hip hop they will never understand what it is to sail and float in a rhythm and have songs last 100 years. good things never go out of style. hip hop for live 🙏
She's Isis from X-Clan. Black Conscious Hip-Hop group from the late 80's early 90's. Brother-X the Overseer who is Sonny Carson's Son,Brother Jay,Isis aka Lin -Que,and others. Powerful Music and imagery. When Hip Hop was full of Positive Messages and Songs with real Knowledge. You could actually learn,and come away more knowledgeable about yourself as a Nubian person.
LinQue has always been a verbal whirlwind. She is truly the grittiest female MC I have ever heard. The edge in her rhymes is always what gets your attention. Very grown, strong lyrics with absolutely no filter.
Hip hop in the mid-90s had a very film noir feel, also despite imagery being evident enough to express, it was lyricism that was the center of attention. In the process, during these years, you got to hear some of the greatest flows in history. Rhyme skills, delivery, and the way it was structured was mathematically superior quality with the essence of the New York urban black youth exuding from every screen and speaker. MCs had something of righteous truth to say. You actually had to listen, and think of what it meant at times. That in itself is an educational process that skills the conscious and subconscious with it's essence. Hearing it today if I may use an analogy, it's like, you remember a Coke used to taste different then, perhaps better if you will. For some reason or another it don't taste the same now.
Hip-Hop from the mid-90's has a nice flow and to me, it sounds really raw, that's why I love it. Modern day Hip-Hop doesn't have that feeling at all, a lot of the lyrics are poor and over produced beats are leading it into ruination. The way I like to put it, is that.. Every king has his reign/era, then he dies. Hip-Hop has had its "best" reign/era and now it is slowly fading away.
Wow!! I was going to leave a comment before I read yours!!! There is nothing left to be said beyond what you have already said!! Period!!! All that I can add is BRING BACK THE MOTHERFUCKIN MUSIC MAN!!!!!!!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!
DAMN +Isaiah Markane , you said it all so poignantly , I love it !!!! So pleasant to see some articulate wordsmiths in the comment sections of (some of the best )videos on RU-vid . You hit it all on the head . PROPS!
Wish female MCs could spit like this today. 95 was so ill. So glad I was around to hear real Hip Hop. She's definitely underrated, because this track is bar for bar better than ANY lyrics I hear today.
vangoghskye "Lyrics I hear today" meaning "Today's Rappers". Em isn't a "Today Rapper". He's a legend that's still doing his thing. I'm definitely not putting this ahead of Eminem by saying that.
Who remembers Rap-City? When you listened back then and when the show was over you wanted to hear more. And you knew that you had heard something, you just knew it. HEART, MIND AND SPIRIT!!!! YES!
Wicked tune. Goosebumps in my neck by her MC skills n flow. Very powerful. 2023 discovered for the first time. Born 1986 but never yet heard about her. Until that link popped up by a German 🇩🇪 bredren. We give thanks and more glory to you Queen 🎤
Peace to the Goddess. This is Isis aka Lin-Que from X-Clan. Black Concious Hip Hop group in the late 80's-early 90's. Brother-X the Overseer,Son of Sonny Carson,BrotherJay,Isis aka Lin Que,and others. Powerful Music and Imagery,dropping knowledge,when Hip Hop was full of positive messages and songs. Uplifting Nubian people through Hip Hop. Once you know who got involved,they weaponized Hip Hop,and it became what it is today. Full of Negative Messages,and no Respect for Life. Hip Hop is a Culture,it was created and used to bring Gangs of NY in the late 70's together in a Peace Treaty. Stopping Gang Violence,Now It Promotes Gang Violence. I witnessed the Birth of Hip Hop,and was Baptized In It. Met Lin Que through my Brother Unique around 94-95. He was a part of X-Clan as well. She was mad cool and down to Earth. She was feeling me,no cap. Wish I kept in touch with her. Beautiful Sister Goddess.🔥💚
This is taking me back!!! Europe , 25, baggy clothes and Tim's. Mad love from the natives.. every country, every set... Globestrollah!!! Wish y'all could a been there!
+CruelTuber +1, good point. I don't really mean to diss anyone. I'm just saying that he's fat. I think he's phat too, but that's kinda beside the point. I stick by my argument though.
+CruelTuber I agree, this is what's missin in today's radio stations, not that trailer park trash think their cool while livin in their mommas basement
What i hate is that all these white rappers (im not racist cause im white myself, chill) they think they even have a chance cause eminem appeared... its not how it works they just have to stop.
one of the hardest beats that i've heard in my life, this shit give me headache bc i listened so fucking loud!!!! who is the producer of this track?? i need to know... plus Linn Que is one of the hardest female lyricists EVER!!!!
Vincent Carter when I say "I hear ya playboy". I was implying that my neck which is attached to spinal column could use some readjustment after this song as well, in conclusion to your statement " my damn neck".
its not that kids don't want to hear these raps it's that no one has showed them good old school and taught them to appreciate history, maybe if some parents still bumped some old school and showed kids the flow of the old days kids would have a little bit more music appreciation
I highly agree. Kids around my age went crazy when that New Edition Story dropped in the summer and everybody started listening to them. It's not that we don't like good music. It's just that we're exposed to shit mainstream music so that's what we listen to. Plus the radio promotes that bullshit so if you're not willing to look for good music like I did, you'll just be listening to that trap garbage now like most kids are. Smh.
So talented, hardcore, feminine and beautiful. Till this day! I had the chance to rok the stage with her a few years back for the Zulu Anniversary and she killed it!
The beat played in my head earlier today and I spent about 4 minutes tryna figure out the artist. Thankfully, I finally found this gem. Man, I ain't heard this one in a minute. I'm rusty on them lyrics, but best believe I know that beat from anywhere. And it's still all good. Back when females used to check mics for a living w/ they clothes on.
listening to this for the first time since it came out... couldn't remember her name but as soon as I heard the opening beat, it came right back! Glorious days of the 90s
