I love that line but when you think about it it doesnt really make sense haha but all respect to big L him and Biggie were both 24.. so sad who knows how they would have changed the world.
savinin He’s ahead of his time. Meaning he’s from the future. His parents haven’t met yet. Perfect sense. Get wreck on any cassette deck so ahead of my time my parents haven’t met yet
This beat is amazing and will always be legendary to underground Hip Hop heads, bc of the Big L Jay Z freestyle which was IMO the most legendary Hip Hop freestyle session ever... L brought Jay to the studio, at the time Jay was about to blow but L really helped put him on (no pun intended). To bad L got murdered... I can only imagine how dope the future collabs between Jay and L would've been!!!
@@SoundsbyIvoryYes he did. L put Jay on with this freestyle ('95) where he brought him to the studio to record AND put Jay on his debut album "Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous" on a song called "Da Graveyard". This album dropped in '95, a year before Jay's debut album "Reasonable Doubt" dropped in '96 so yes, L did put him on
One of THEE BEST Hip-Hop beats of the 90's, & of ALL-TIME. Period. Fuck all thoughts, opinions, & their entire existence. This is how RAW east coast Hip-Hop, should sound.
One of the dopest things about this beat is you can rhyme fast or slow at any moment and it doesn't sound weird... this was not just a good beat but a great arrangement and timing of sounds in the right place.
This was and always be Miilkbone's beat. He was to Jersey and the East Coast what Eminem was to the world later. And do not get it twisted, Eminem got the most love from Jersey! Peace to the Outsidaz who had Em living in Jersey. Gotta know your history before making stupid comments on a culture that birthed many. New Jeruz!
As a truck driver this really touches me, the repetitive beats only serve to reflect my monotonous life on the road. Quite frankly I think it's beautiful driving down the national roads pontificating my life in more than one way; gasping for respite in my oxymoronic life. Quaint and elemental in my incendiray ways.
Mec si je suis élancé tu flippes, Si je sors un album tu vas dépenser du fric, J'gratte et je développe des pensées multiples, C'est quand j'ai du spleen que je peux dépenser du style Jazzy Bazz
R.I.P MAC MILLER “I know you got to feel this, I’m on some real shit!!” Y’all never heard of the ‘100,000 bars’ ? If not ,go check it out shit is straight fire!
I love how in music you can easily find your taste from sound. Heard this a decade ago anyone must know themselves very much more than they think when they come back to the same sound and like it!!!
I remember the first time hearing the classic freestyle over this and thinking, "damn Jigga got down..."next thing I know Big L straight decapitates the beat and sets the bar for dope freestyling to a whole new level! L's verses were so perfect and hit so hard, that after I immediately rewound the track I'm thinking "ok Hov's verse was cute" haha cuz then I knew what L was gonna do. To this day nothing can touch his verses. Only thing close is Black Thought's freestyle imo. R.I.P. BIG L
Brick City representing! Lov this joint when it came it and still rockin it. To all my Jersey heads from then to eternity. RIP to all my brothaz. Iron Bound WILSON AVE n beyond Springfield ave to Irvington NJ
One of the best instrumentals...I just discovered it last night and please excuse my ignorance I had no idea had classic this beat is. This is one of my favorites along with J. Dilla's "Stakes Is High" and DJ Premier "Mass Appeal", true 90's Hip Hop at its finest
I’m so ahead of my time, my parents haven’t met yet - Big L This shit is swell I rock the heavens well, if they don’t give me heaven I’ll raise hell.. till it’s heaven - Jay Z
If you had to pick one beat to represent the 90's underground scene... man it'd be hard to beat this one... It's right up there with T.R.O.Y. as one of the best ever.
Such a beautiful piece, heroin to the ears, main. I hear this shit and think of the many ways I wish I could slice it, spit on it like the court homie. This track ballin, Chris Rivers brought me here, Logic did aight, and Com kills everything.
I know you gotta feel this I'm on some real shit, I'm on some real shit, I'm on some real shit I know you gotta feel this I'm on some real shit, I'm on some real shit, I'm on some real shit [Verse:] Pull the hoodie down And take a look around Sounds that shook a town Man it feel good to smile So I shouldn't frown When the night is looking down Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the smoothest crook around? Takin' some dollas And makin' away from Impalas Shakin' and jade cause they chasin' the face of a robber Actin' goofy, absolutely Cause my passion suits me So blast the tunes please I see the world with four eyes Hip-hop tour guide Hear the war cries: rap or die I just wanna get signed Drive a four door ride Be more fly, 'till then I'll just soar by With a wave I'm a bad indicate Sit back in the shade While I'm passin' the haze Misbehave and I'm a trouble-making teenager Be prayful he doesn't favor to please haters Seat taken, three turn Mayor Gettin' re-elected just three terms later Uh, I've seen greater days So let the haters play their game Dreams fade away when you make the predator the prey The ace of spade can make it's way to save the day But from the start a club of heart was diamond Now I'm in Zion flying through the skyline The game on my back I got 5 spines Black cat with 9 lives, time flies By so I got one life to loose it But how will I use it? Uhhh, I put it all in the music Cause y'all pussies Fold away before they hand the cards Broke-ass rappin' now you Dancin' With The Stars I'm handling these bars like a simple situation Based on the cats who don't fit in the equation Patience is a virtue but fuck it I want it now Get my record deal ready put Diddy up on the dial like "Hello, wassup Puffy I'm on my grind and hungry Throw me on the table they gonna love me, trust me" Cause these older cats are gettin' a little rusty It's time for a change like Barack said And I don't care Hip-hop is not dead Spit hot lead but none of these haters get shot dead They don't bother me I'll leave them playing for my wife Kick back have a laugh while you complainin' 'bout your life "Grrr" you hate Mac and you say you gonna fight? It's all good bro, you entertainment for tonight Like I'm a be mad? You hatin' cause I'm white Do a lot a cryin' and leave pain out on the mic Because overall I'm iller than you all Y'all pussy Never ever gone for it all You scared of a little risky coaching call What happened? I thought you were the know-it-all? I stay smokin' while haze got a potent smell It take me back to kickin' raps back in Show-And-Tell I wanted to show people, all of my bro's people How to come up like: "Yo, I know people" Dead Presidents, this doe evil So lethal the police will want to beat you Sit you down then have you run your mouth Bring your mother out: Look what your son is now [Laughs] See my mom she know her son is well The youngest child, she been through it for a while Now I put 1 on the dial with a smile Cause I'm wild, foul child style Too focused on my grind don't ever catch an "f" My hearts in it now even with five seconds left I want the best won't settle for nothing less And I always stay dressed in something fresh So keep your head on strapped and show respect to the game And that's what this beat messages my brain
These Harlem streets be dangerous You either aim and bust Or get slayed and turn to dust Feel the rush Catching a flick down on 42nd Or catching wrecking in the Bronx Quicky end up in heaven,it ain't swell Might end up in hell like mentioned Live ya life to the fullest And pay respects to the lost niggas Whos packing a Mac Gangsta shit Yeah it's like that
