Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Act Like You Know 

Reminds me of my teenage years.

Pete to my beat is a rock like concrete. Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete. Intelligent.

Bun B sent me here 🤣 it was track 5 not 3 but it was a Kong long time ago. B hi interviews always have me learning new shit from artists from my childhood

Pete.Rock and Large Professor on the beat..🔥🔥🔥🔥

the lyrics alone...a whole perspective on how you cant compare this era to any other in hip hop .. but its important to consider the difference, bc the psychological and social implications on the minds and real experience of black youth, as told through hip hop..carry weight with real consequence The beat is another level of the conversation still...

Priceless

Here comes the hurricane, C.L. same name Cut by the grain when I land upon the plain Jah knew the Hebrew, a Papa Duke need you But none of the fam who saw had a clue Escalate the prime rate, words coagulate Generate the mind's state, never can deflate Nigger, you jigaboo, it doesn't have to be you Funny like a cartoon, Pepe Le Pew Pimp are the lyrical, g-string the individual But the metaphysical isn't spriritual Straight from the heart I frame the art Tune up my class, real fast, very smart Dictate the technique, wait a minute, I speak Loved by my son and a kiss on the cheek Stutter-step the concept, blueprint, or pro Steady as we go so act like you know I stand by the rabbi, sail in Shanghai Always had an alibi even if I lie Crucial, never neutral, bare the fruitful Past time, another rhyme, skedaddle, Yankee Doodle Light skin in lovely gyp, just for the honey dip Here to make a megahit fit Don't install the pipe dream, renaissance regime When you run ragged I pick up the steam Chart on the record book, what Corey Love took the hook Here's a new book to civilize a crook Purest of the pedigree, feed 'em a line C.L., no Jezebel, can never sleep well Thick like a dred, at the Club Med The Mecca Don said, a fish out of water is dead Pete Rock, the soul brother, cruise on a flow Swing low and yell "Geronimo!", act like you know C.L. can play like Nike, come on just do it Pacify the Gemini, soul into it Beat to my feet is a lock like concrete Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete A clean editorial, rather historical Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable Mecca is the syndrome, when I come back home Boogie on a baritone, listen on a phone Libra, the achiever, toke a reefer C.L. the girl pleaser, like Ebanezer So here is the good sign, I incline Titties with the bitties when I wine and dine Worn like corduroy, comes the bad boy But just like Anita Pita, I bring ya joy "Agoobilonians" with your knowledge And take as said so, flow and act like you know Hard for the street, decipher never incomplete A clean editorial, rather historical Affordable, recordable, nifty like a portable Mecca is the syndrome, when I come back home Boogie on a baritone, listen on a phone Libra, the achiever, toke a reefer C.L. the girl pleaser, like Ebanezer So here is the good sign, I incline Titties with the bitties when I wine and dine Worn like corduroy, comes the bad boy you know

I don't have to flex a muscle!

Oooooooooohhhhhh......

Pete Rock And CL Smooth Act Like You Know song is a classic. Mecca And The Soul Brother album is good. I like album pictures. Pete Rock And CL Smooth should've did more albums. CL Smooth, Willie D of Geto Boys, 2Pac Shakur(RIP), MC Ren of NWA, Ice Cube of NWA, Run DMC(RIP Jam Master Jay), Gang Starr(RIP Guru), Redman, Ice T is my favorite music rappers.
