More from Naughty By Nature. Another highly requested track, is it a banger? #jersey #eastcoast #naughtybynature #rap #reaction #hiphop #music ^^^^====404producers@gmail.com for inquires.=====^^^^
Treach was just saying that his mom tells him he's priceless (so valuable that you can't place a price on it), so why does he feel worthless? Just a line to illustrate how low and hopeless he felt growing up, and how impactful his environment was.
This songs a straight 10 for me mayne. One of my favourite bars in this song is: Say something positive, well positive ain't where i live. I live right round corner from west hell, 2 blocks from south shit, and once in a jail cell.
Naughty is a classic group fr fr….they held the nineties DOWN for hip hop….they don’t get nearly the respect that they deserve, glad y’all young boys on it 👌🏾
I was 13 years old when this song came out (I’m from Harlem NYC) and this song hits me hard every time, this song is everything I went and then some ! I’m now 46 years old and I even cried watching this reaction because I came a long way from how I grew up and mentally I still go through it because of it 😢
This song has been one of my favorite songs since I was a young kid because it was one of the first songs that made me understand I wasn't the only one going through it (along with Tupac's Keep Your Head Up, and Ghostface Killah's All That I Got Is You). But I've never noticed that priceless/worthless bar, that was crazy! This song is truly a work of art.
@@thatstheguy07 You can definitely see the influence of "Yoke the Joker" throughout Em's career....that was one of the first records I can remember that showcased the use and potential of alliteration rhyming
Ya'll are making me pull out he catalogue from when you reacted to "Uptown Anthem" So let me drop it again. The NBN catalogue goes like this. --------- Guard your Grill, Everything Gonna be Alright, Written on Ya Kitten, Dirt on my Lonely, Hip Hop Hooray, Feel me flow, O.P.P, Mourn you till I join you, Craziest, It's On, Wickedest Man Alive, 1,2,3. --------- IT seems that Cam and Justo have stumbled again upon one of the most influential hiphop groups and rappers of all time. Trigger Trech aka Treacherous, was a massive influence on Eminem, Jay Z, Big L and so many other rappers. JUST FEEL HIM FLOW.
You just had to be there, bro. The 90’s were a whole different existence. This Era doesn’t just listen to DIFFERENT MUSIC, they listen to MUSIC DIFFERENTLY. We could tell you what Album these songs were on, what other tracks were on it, the year and season they dropped. But the youngins these days know every lyric to a song but couldn’t name the artist. We remember what was goin on in life when Uptown Anthem dropped. We remember our friends/family’s addresses and phone numbers by heart. They not built like that now.
The big guy with the braids is highly intelligent and expresses himself very well. He’s articulate, he also mixes slang and proper English like wind and rotation which makes a tornado!!
I have to reiterate that NBN (Naughty by Nature) were the hit makers. For 3 straight Summers they had the number one hiphop hit. "O.P.P", "Uptown Anthem", "Hiphop Hooray", "Craziest", "Feel me Flow". ------ Every Summer from 91' to 93' no one could touch these guys. It wasn't unitl Dr Dre came with, "THe Chronic" and that anyone was able to stop their run of dominance on not only the HipHop charts but also the pop charts as well. Plase go back and watch ya'll own reaction to "Uptown Anthem " to feel the impact and impression NBN made on you guys.
You two actually are one of maybe 5 RU-vidrs who actually do REACTION videos! You react and go into details about what you just heard/saw and have a conversation. Respect for covering Naughty by Nature! Jersey Represent!!!
Treach was a great story teller. His flow literally gave you substance. It’s great to see you guys finding these gems. Next time hear an “old head” fly off the handle about mumble rap, you’ll now know why. Next up DJ Quick, Jus Lyke Compton
i LOVE YOU 2 YOUNG KINGS IM 47 AN OLD HEAD I WAS HERE BEFORE HIP HOP REALLY STARTED I LOVE HOW YOU 2 GENTLEMEN ACTUALLY SIT AND LISTEN LIVING IN THE 80'S AND 90'S THIS IS HOW LIFE WAS GROWING UP IN NEW YORK NEW JERSEY STUFF LIKE THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS WHEN YOU DO OLDER STUFF AND YOU SIT THERE AND DON'T LAUGH AT THE WARDROBE LOL THAT WAS IN BACK THEN LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP SHINING
I was a teenager when they blew up. I have their first two albums on cassette! This song actually makes me tear up, as a person with depression and from a poor family I feel the meaning of the lyrics pretty hard even though the actual life experience is something so divorced from mine. You don't get many expressions of what depression can look like for people who aren't rich or upper middle class white girls. And it's a banger. This song is my favourite on the album, followed by "1, 2, 3".
I can identify with every line in this song and I'm a white woman. I just happened to grow up kinda hard. But yeah, every line reflects on some part of my early years.
I hold this song close to my heart as it rings true to my life growing up. Great reaction video. Treach is a great M.C. and he had a big influence on Eminem as Treach is one of Eminem’s favorite M.C.s of all time.
Heads up one of NBN influences is Grand Puba from the group "Brand Nubian". That rabbit hole can be explored at a later date, since we have so many Naughty tracks to get to. Have fun Ya'll.
I haven't heard this since the 90s. What a great song, I love the part where he says. "They want me to do a positive, but positive isn't where I am from."
I've had guns to my head and been in knife and ax fights. I got kicked out by mom because she couldn't afford us. I hid in a shadow that was too small to hide in from a helicopters spot light when I was running from the cops and gunfire when I was 12 years old out jacking stereos. I heard this song when I was 13 and it was my anthem. You don't even know there are white people out there who were in the institutions with you who have dead friends killed by cops who couldn't afford to eat. That was my life, and I don't know why I"m still alive but I am and now shits peacful and I just drink my brew and smoke my brush and remember late at night and bump these old songs.
Hey Cam and Justo, I am not comparing NBN (Naughty by Nature) to KRS One, but this album is equivalent to the 90's version of "Criminal Minded". We know how ya'll love some KRS One. Tigger Treach is like and updated version of KRS One without copying him, cause back then you couldn't copy another artist and expect to be respected in the hip-hop game. ---- NBN was definitely the biggest group in hiphop for about 4 years and then Nas and Biggie came around. That's why NBN gets lost in the shuffle of hip-hop. ------- That's why we are here to give you the real of how it was back then. ENJOY.
Yeah but in the context of the song she also was forced to kick him out because she couldn't afford him. Part of why he at least thought he was worthless.
@@Lord_BibulousTreach's mom had to put him out at 18 being she was on government assistance and he could no longer stay there. She couldn't risk being put out with his younger siblings
Hey, cuz arkansas have some legends and gems that can get with anything you have in mainstream. Just never get the chance like other states now saying that arkansas legend errol Westbrook ft. Blac yungsta ( Whippin it)
You all have got to check out KRS-One he specifically rhymes about rhyming for the future ages in his album “Meta-Historical” he’s a Hip Hop philosopher and his nickname is Tha Teacha because he’s always teaching in his rhymes.
Treach(erous) has more bars than Hershey's and the county jail. Check out "Hear Me Flow" . By the way, Treach is 5⭐ . Tells stories. Flexes complicated rhyme schemes. Melodic cadence. Metaphoric. Very wordy. He's top 5 on my list.
Can you review ll cool j "father"...this song kinda parallels my life especially about the beating from his mother's boyfriend. My mama's boyfriend really made me strip got a beating at age 10 or 11 as a little girl. This is one of my songs period. The lead vocalist I believe is Tamela Mann that used to sing with kirk Franklin and the family ❤from Louisiana
The Main Objective, in Life is to Become Better, and NEVER GLORIFY the GHETTO/HOOD, your From, Try, and Help your People, As well as Yourself,..! GET OUT..!!!💯
Never heard of Naughty? My god. Treach is constantly mentioned by Eminem as a major influence, and on this first record he could absolutely wreck any MC
Here’s a list of 90s New Jersey hip hop you should react to: Redman-Tonight’s Da Night Creepin I’ll be dat Time for some Action Fugees-fu-gee-La The beast Zealots Naughty By Nature-Hip Hop Hooray Feel me Flow Yoke the Joker Pacewon- I declare war Forget it I’ll finish the list next time you do another Jersey artist
