You might find it interesting to look up Jimi Hendrix and the Last Poets to hear him actually playing guitar behind someone rapping. Look up the Ballad of Doriella Du Fontaine. One of rap's early pioneer's Lightnin' Rod recorded in Jimi's studio.
This is one of the most underrated rap songs of that era. This song is pure gold, and i'm glad the guy did it because he killed it one hundred percent. Thank you, homie !!!
Having listened to this track for at least 7 or 8 times now, I think this song is based off the movie Training Day. Either that or what he's rapping about is eerily similar.

Man I only ever knew him from Simon Says not gonna lie to you, but then I listened to that first album it’s so solid I can’t believe I’ve slept on this guy he is a goat
Lamont Coleman Respect bro,Melanin 9 is British and massively under appreciated,check out the group he is part of called 'triple darkness' - they are incredible
I remember running into this around 2009.. back when I was like what’s RUclips?? So cool to see it in my recommended 10 years later this is always a bump
I remember being so excited for this album, its been years since internal affair and i was waiting for more Pharoah. I was not disappointed. One of the best emcees of all time.
Pharoahe Monch was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about collaborations. "Sometimes the collaborations will be easy. If it’s a song about happy, sunny picnic days, you’re like, oh, OK. Other times it’s like, this song is about the Afro-American struggle in America, and you’re like, all right, this is going to take a little more time."
I know Pharoahe from the Hilltop Hoods collaboration 'Classic Example'. It's taken me this long to listen to Himself. Bad move on my part, but I'm here now.
@@fightermma gtfoh not everyone has the same musical interests, and it's not like this guy was as popular as the most mainstream artists. I could talk about countless "classic" metal bands/songs but you most likely wouldn't know about them unless you were into metal...
this was on the soundtrack for "training day"... i remember id never heard of pharoahe monch before... then i checked out his other songs and became a fan. he has to have some of the best rhyme sequences.
Same here. I asked my younger brother (an MC) who he was and my brother looked at me like I was crazy. He said, "Ask any rapper -- Pharoah is the shit! He really does have other good stuff harder than this. This was tamed down for the film.
@@rustymcbadbat yup training day the movie im very surprised Spotify doesn't have that soundtrack 😳 that was a big movie with multiple demographic audiences
FINALLY AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS I HAVE FOUND THIS SONG THANKS TO THE ALGORYTHM DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A SONG THAT IS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD THAT IS CALLED F**CK YOU?
I heard this 11 years ago at an underground sports and music festival. In the first time in my life i went to the DJ booth and popped the question. Best decision in my life.
Oh man, I used to think I was so hard core as a 14 year old "bumping" this LOL oh god I'm so old 2020Oct- I still listen to this obviously, just no longer think I'm a gangster 14yr old kid haha.
+Lucky Lex me too. I feel even older when I tell all these young kids how their "hiphop" sucks and back in my day we had, Pharoahe, Boot Kamp, Wu-Tang, Beatnuts, etc, etc, then Im like, shit. Im old. Rap really does suck ass now tho, except underground.
+saj8 Nah man we still got Goretex. Gore Elohim and Jak Tripper, Ide and creative Juices. All the Jedi Mind cats. All the Weathermen are still around doing their thing(except some of them are nerds but I love em) Check out IDE , he's NY's best kept secret and no one knows of him.
I remember this track from early 2000's! There was even a tv friendly version where it's "Got you". Welp, thanks for the blast from the plast I guess RUclips. xD
Remember I found this song on youtube back in like 2008 and it was listed as immortal technique LMAO I had no idea until a couple years later when I heard it again and recognized the PHARAOH flow

same. for once it was good.
RUclips's trying to tell you something.
Haha same
The electric guitar in this song is dope
got a jimi hendrix feeling of that. good shit

This is one of the most underrated rap songs of that era. This song is pure gold, and i'm glad the guy did it because he killed it one hundred percent. Thank you, homie !!!
Pharoahe's decision to do a track from the cop perspective was revolutionary at the time. Still the most legendary rapper you never heard of.
Having listened to this track for at least 7 or 8 times now, I think this song is based off the movie Training Day. Either that or what he's rapping about is eerily similar.
@@swindle9695 The start of the song is a scene from training day
@@disbelief3911 That's what I figured but it's been a minute since I've seen that movie.

For me, this song never feels LOUD enough. I'm always turning up the volume knob but I'm never satisfied. this song is great.
came here searching for exactly this comment, I guess I'm 12 years late.
It's so true, this song sounds more amazing the louder you play it.
that’s literally my issue right now!!!! it’s not loud enough for the shitty maintenance me hear lol.

15 years later and RUclips algorithms recommended this!!
Better late than never lol 😂

One of the sickest beat, and sickest lyrics ever in rap history. The guitar is dope. These combos are just plain, simply RIDICULOUS.
Pharaohe made the beat himself
Classic
Pharoahe Monch is either number 1 or 2 lyricist ever. Either him or Black Thought.

This is one of my best, my favourite rap song ever. The guitar, the hook, the lyrics are on top. This is fire!
No idea why this came onto my recommended but it certified slaps
cause u have a good taste in music
The most underrated who deserves more air time.
Same as Melanin 9
