The power behind Pete Rock's beats, is that they contain a tentativeness, there's always a tension lurking just behind the veneer of rain. And such is the reality of the city, no matter where you go within the urban jungle, this reality is ultimately inescapable. And yet to balance out this tension, Pete also captures the zen like qualities of the city as well, through his piano. The city is such a vast environment, that it contains its own wisdom and natural energy within the streets.
Peace. You are very accurate with your compliment. When I heard this at Fat Beats in '99, everything you said had took place when it was under a Shure needle on a 1200 turntable.

This is hands down one of my favorite beats ever. Such a smooth sample/melody. I have the utmost respect for Pete Rock. This shit is unbelievable.

One of the coldest instrumentals period..
This beat is the definition of "Golden Era" masterpiece
Cant lie this one of my favorite instrumentals of all time.
2023, still knocks
off the hinges bro
And Far Beyond...
"So much on my mind, I just cant unwind"
This beat is seriously special
Spiritual
Probably my favorite beat ever

Gather around, the Renaissance man has finally appeared
And I'm astonishing rap characters are cause of the tears
Quasimodo and the quotables excrete from my mouth
And no doubt, we rubbed you wrong and rubbin you out
To try to tackle such a problem is a foolish goal
And when the opposition's Abstract, bless your soul
There are degrees of MCs but none on the level
Of the other vocalist, precious like metal
Makin all my rounds through the towns like physician
I be curing impure emcees, plagued with disease
So take a spoonful of Poet Penicillin and
Sit back and listen to your man as I fill it in the Renaissance..
So here we go, now
It is the Midnight Marauder on the scene
Geographically earthed in a place called Queens
I was formed with my principles, way I displayed
How I used to MC where all the other kids played
Cause I was way too ill, so I would hone my skill
And go out in the park and let my chemicals spill
Right there, on Farmers Boulevard, I made my mark
Two dudes, niggas would dip from us, me, and NARCS
And then my, legend would grow on the A-train line
Where brothers would gather to see me blowin nicks and dimes
It was me, Big, Pete, Tanya, and Sir Ibu
And the heat of the cipher, I was not libel
From all the casualties of the dutty MCs
I split the train car like Moses did the Red Sea
So get it in ya head, we gon' rock the dead
Night of the living MCs', the weak ones fled
And the stage is the pulpit, Renaissance won't quit
We gon' baptize y'all for your benefit
We been aligned and assigned to change
Rearrange all your molecules like Dr. Strange
Making cultures move, if you disapprove
You can keep loudmouthin, ain't gon bust a groove
You see the object of the game is we don't see it as one
We don't quit, bullshit, and we never lost, son
Deeper than the oceans and expand like air
We be vast indeed and if your hearing's impaired
We got the perfect remedy for you tonight
Just put your ear to it, it's like dynamite
And it's the Renaissance Rap
Soul Brotha #1!!!

0:50
I dont mean to harm the beat
I just wanna lead my charm to speak
with lyrics Im bombing fleets
to fight I'm a feel strong n sweep
Im a humble man at on time I had 2 hustle grams
In this troubled lands fuck yo stance
I think you should know how Im smooth n slow
when I feel dim I go in the booth n glow
shooting for the ones that show strenght
when theirs low ends even tho theirs no friends
In the earth presently crime since birth stressing me
but Im all right cuz the herbs blessing me
no time to waste at 19, so i keep my mind keen, in this life im finding, many peeps try to remind me, im good for nothin, yet i got some useful skills and i aint bluffin, getting ahead full speed and i aint runnin, you can't fool me i am too cunnin, spittin on cool beats im lovin, splittin atoms and blowin yall to smithereens, im growin tall all alone, i need a better team
@hiphopisdead956 ill ass rhymes keep doin the dew homie
where can i get this?
Order it via internet
Microfone check cuento 123
Powerful Dynamics mics i stamp it
Postage lyrics hard to clear it watch a fly
Move near it but fear it once the light emits
Soundwaves souls craves no behaves
Cuz I'm out of line showed up a dime
A dozen linked with my cousin's weed buzzin'
Skunks in trunks heat for the funk
The guns is poppin' bring the universe
To a stoppin' see me proppin' ranks hoppin'
Over the prison chain gang damn mayne
See the same thang repeat griefs
Dissatisfied moon and sun is jeykll and hide
Playing many of my memories preyin'
From the past the blast that can outlast
Outcast true built everlast see the forecast
Its raining bullets showering sins fouls grins
Swayed from the djinn of religion still potrayin'
Us as enemies to the public above it
I'm standing on the crescent moon
Inhale the breezin' perfumes that blooms
My soul from a hallow gloom soon
To take a walk so my thoughts can stalk
Lay out the murderous thoughts chalked
But no detectives this is an introspective
Layin' war narratives its imperative
That you pay attention to the places you lay
At your head rest might be ya final headrest
Casket is nest the bird is the cover no other
Laying truthful visions to your eyes no lies
Told within as so without no doubt
We cause mass mayhem clouts fire droughts
From the friction of the rhythmic jurisdiction
Check the prediction a rendition
Made to the father time to mother Earth
Give her my body back so she can rebirth
An nurse nature with my remains stains
Left permanent residence see no hesitance
In a vietnams thousand yard stare eyes glare
Like the light of a flare up in the air don't care
If you ain't feelin' this take these styles that's too crisp
Cold snap a disc see my obelisk standing
Hoovering over the water graves of slaves
Serpents is rising riding everyday sliding
Pieces of ashes residue only a few clue
To the media that uses propoganda to view
Reshape ya mind to confine ya cells into a flatline
Breathin'
A Pete Rock trademark? Make it better than the original. Exhibit A….
Someone sped up the tempo. It shouldn’t be this fast.
that doesn't even make sense. at all. how about a theme? a cohesive thought process? this is rambling. blah.
original is better
