Ruthless Records “Golden & Platinum Era”. No one could touch groups like : Above The Law N.W.A The D.O.C. & Dr. Dre JJ Fad DJ Yella & Menajahtwa, HWA, & Ect. Ruthless Ran $hit From 1988 to 1998 STRAIGHT! Rest In Peace Eric “Eazy-E” Wright & KMG from Above The Law! 11523 Eternal Also, Rest In Peace Jerry Heller.
Rest easy LayLaw. I always felt that this production was ahead of it's time. It's so dope and sinister and the backwards loop and NWA and PE samples were just crazy. Hell of a way to kick off one of the dopest albums of the 90's.
I remember being 12 listening to Above the law, NWA, DOC. Never even heard the word “gangsta rap” but, I just knew that I was in love with this style of music.
I remember when this song started playing during the final mission when I was chasing Tenpenny in the fire truck trying to save sweet. Ahh the memories
I feel blessed that I had older siblings and got to know gangsta rap from a young age although I am Greek. I am grateful that as a 19 year old I know that much of music. Happy 2021 and stay safe everybody!
I swear above the law was the shit, you would of thought they'd of done a documentary or biopic on this group by now, I banged the hell out of their music, I remember buying the first and second albums and played it till the tape popped, and I'm from DELAWARE, so yes they was getting love out here. one of the most underrated rap groups EVER. STRAIGHT FIRE.
In DELAWARE lol that's just awesome. I swear some of the stuff people listen to today makes me wonder how the fuck did we get to that starting from this masterpiece
man I miss real hip hop glad am a 70 baby grew up 90 real hip hop Migos all these lil groups ant got jack on 90 groups above law NWA geto boys cmw public enemy so on
Also the sample from "Cold Lampin' With Flavor", the "now I got a murder rap", definitely makes me want to listen to Public Enemy, even when this came out in 1990.
This is such a great song. The production is sick on this track. They took the theme from the Ironside TV show and flip that shit. This track was definitely one of Ruthless best tracks. R.I.P. KMG!
Thanks JMac for previewing this album on the phone for me and me going to the record store and my record store dealing saying "I know Above the Law, already got it ready for ya"! Peace!
this has to be, not only one of dre's best production work, but best production in rap history PERIOD. this song was way ahead of its time. goddamn classic
+kolisionn An exact rip from the bomb squad of public enemy...even used a Chuck D sample. Amazing how influential Public Enemy was to NWA and it was Dre who stated that the first person he gave the "Niggaz with Attitude" LP to was Chuck D
no i'm 23 actually and this video was shot in 1990 when the hi top fade was popular not too many people were rockin the cornrows as much that's why i said he was ahead of his time.
yeah but i wasn't talking about just black people in los angeles i was talking about nationwide popularity with cornrows didn't start until the early 2000s so that's why i said he was ahead of his time which he was with alot of stuff he was apart of.
Bob Jordan yeah i know stevie wonder and a few others but they became popular among many black men in the early 2000's..like throwback jerseys du rags etc wtc.
@@andresmejia2695 are you asking or stating? I'm confused because of the question mark at the end of your sentence. Regardless if Dre or 187 made, it's still a hard ass beat in my opinion.

Ruthless records at its best!
Classic. No one had this sound back in the day. That was the beauty of rappers in the 80’s & 90’s. Everyone had their own sound
Is it just me or music these days sounds like it all came from the same plastic factory in Singapore or some shit?
No doubt indeed!
@@leorevolt9865
Nah, It's not You, LOL! That's exactly what the new shit sounds like. Mass produced off brand bullshit. SMDH!!

I remember being 12 listening to Above the law, NWA, DOC. Never even heard the word “gangsta rap” but, I just knew that I was in love with this style of music.
the loud scream sample on 3.35 is the BEST ever used on a rap record, period.
+MultiMrMiles haha yeah i love that too

I remember when this song started playing during the final mission when I was chasing Tenpenny in the fire truck trying to save sweet. Ahh the memories
those drums are so frickin good
Jerry Heller once said that "Above The Law would have been N.W.A. if N.W.A. had never existed."
Yeah but not really
I feel blessed that I had older siblings and got to know gangsta rap from a young age although I am Greek. I am grateful that as a 19 year old I know that much of music. Happy 2021 and stay safe everybody!

Man, that sample from Bring the Noise is making me want to listen to P.E. - time to continue the walk down memory lane. More classic rap!
Also the sample from "Cold Lampin' With Flavor", the "now I got a murder rap", definitely makes me want to listen to Public Enemy, even when this came out in 1990.
They also used the sample of Ice Cube from Straight Outta Compton.
WRONG I THINK ITS FROM IRONSIDE ! WITH RAYMOND BURR
That Ironside sample is in SO MANY things, I was actually wondering where it came from only a day or so ago. Awesome timing! Thanks.
Time to listen to Fear of a Black Planet
at 10 yrs old and blastin this in my ear in the 90s, I can't explain how tense it was in South Sac life was something else back than. no love

Cold 187 underrated rappper!!!!!!!
A true real classic Gangstar teachings song track and video bless ,
Yo this truly takes me back..... 🔥
Wish i had a time machine💯
A west coast group you could be proud of!!!
This is such a great song. The production is sick on this track. They took the theme from the Ironside TV show and flip that shit. This track was definitely one of Ruthless best tracks. R.I.P. KMG!
Yes this track sample is Originally a Quincy Jones production.
You on yo shit bro
Yeah, I hear it now.
1989 NWA affiliation DOC ATL CPO 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

One of the top 10 hardest RAP SONGS hands down!!
ATL CPO and The DOC
NWA had some dope acts they were assowith
this has to be, not only one of dre's best production work, but best production in rap history PERIOD. this song was way ahead of its time. goddamn classic
187 did the beat
nope. dre, eazy and laylaw did it
+kolisionn Better check that aging living like hustlers was already done when Eazy signed them
MrWARBUCKS24 bro i got the album. im going by what the liner notes say. if it ain't true then my bad
+kolisionn An exact rip from the bomb squad of public enemy...even used a Chuck D sample. Amazing how influential Public Enemy was to NWA and it was Dre who stated that the first person he gave the "Niggaz with Attitude" LP to was Chuck D
Cold 187 um has to be one of the low key best rap name of all time
That beat is insane!!!
Required listening for all players today
We was bumpin this hard in St Louis
This beat smh 🤦🏾♂️ MY GOD 🔥🔥🔥
0:45 eazy e
Still blasting this 2022💯 Above the law 187umm I was born January 29 1991 grew up listening to these beats
My knowledge of real hip hip brought me here!
I had this on 12" vinyl in the late 80s . I didn't play it much but I knew it was special. I was so into the ny sound at the time
Eazy was rockin the cornrows before they were popular. Way ahead of his time.
no i'm 23 actually and this video was shot in 1990 when the hi top fade was popular not too many people were rockin the cornrows as much that's why i said he was ahead of his time.
yeah but i wasn't talking about just black people in los angeles i was talking about nationwide popularity with cornrows didn't start until the early 2000s so that's why i said he was ahead of his time which he was with alot of stuff he was apart of.
D-Lo Morton eazy e the man
Bob Jordan yeah I think he invented it
Bob Jordan
yeah i know stevie wonder and a few others but they became popular among many black men in the early 2000's..like throwback jerseys du rags etc wtc.
Classic West Coast.
One of the hardest rap beats ever!! Dre is genius with this track and 187 flow is sick!!
Yo Dre didn’t make this beat bro, that’s fax it’s a hard beat
@@andresmejia2695 are you asking or stating? I'm confused because of the question mark at the end of your sentence. Regardless if Dre or 187 made, it's still a hard ass beat in my opinion.
@@WBendolph Nah bruh I agree with you saying it’s a hard as beat 187 made this track tho
@@andresmejia2695 dre produced the album properly in the studio. 187 wrote the track(s). There’s a difference between writing and producing.
@@WBendolph Hutch (Cold 187-um) produced this. Definitely hard asf.
Classic
Bruh snapping on this for a classic
This shyt still go hard omm
They always had a cutting edge beat on every album.
