In a way that is still good. Because we get to really understand and like the better art so much more. We don't have shitty ghettos like this anymore which is good.

Was bumpin this in 95 and still bumpin this today, there will never be another Mobb Deep and there will never be a 90's era of Hip Hop. Legendary, Iconic, timeless! Real shit!
@pogo8050 All the time when you went out for a ride or to a party you would hear some new shit and not know who it is, endless, you didn't even know where to start to get to know all the good shit. Sure, a lot of albums only had a few really good songs on them and spending 20 bucks not knowing how good it is would sometimes suck, but all those standout songs held up. The albums with song after song blowing your mind are the all-time legends, the chronic, doggystyle, the diary, 36 chambers, cuban linx, dirty, all eyez on me...
People wonder why rappers back then had so many bars with unbelievable lyrics. I’m 43. I was a teenager when some of the greatest rap artist emerged. I saw the incline, peak, and decline of rap. Well, perhaps lyricism in rap is the decline part of it. Here’s what I believe happened. There was no internet and no social media platforms. To get heard these rappers had to sharpen their skills by writing and rewriting rap lyrics and practicing freestyle. They would battle other rappers in homes, alleys, corners, and at clubs. Some people got booed into greatness. Taking a rap battle loss meant either quitting or keep practicing. The ones that rose to the top never stopped practicing so they could destroy everyone lyrically. Then they would put out a tape and sell it out the back of their cars. They would also approach radio stations to play their music so it could be heard. It took a lot of hustle to get a deal and be heard. That meant only the cream of the crop made it in most cases. With the invention of the internet and social media like RUclips, everyone can be heard without practicing. Plus for some reason the look and background of a rapper became more important then ability. Beats and the persona moved to the front and lyrics got pushed to the background. This has happened to other music as well, but I mainly listened to rap starting with the Fat Boys back in the mid eighties. If you made it this far I have three recommendations. Apostles warning, Still shining, drop a gem on them. If you haven’t heard these songs yet, enjoy.
@Joey Saza Your analysis is on point. That’s exactly what it is. Anyone today can get themselves exposure using social media. But I’d have to add that back then, everyone had a grittiness or rawness that seemed real, with their own unique styles and personas, unlike today’s personas that come across as artificial or manufactured. Definitely a whole ‘nother level back then...
For my brother who made me listen to this song and he has just died may your soul rest in peace forever my bro from africa Mali 🇲🇱 leaving in France 🇫🇷
These were 19yr old kids telling graphic stories of their upbringing. Turns out, it became some of the most moving classics in music history, not just rap. Much respect to P and Havoc. R.I.P. to Prodigy the legend.
“There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from, you can run but you can’t hide forever...” Prodigy 26+ years later, P couldn’t have been any more right. Dude was prophetic, woke and ahead of his time. R.I.P.
I love the fact that I'm not a snob when it comes to music. It means I can enjoy anything from Celine Dion to Mobb Deep. This is a masterpiece in its own right.
"There's a war going on outside no man is safe from"....most memorable opening line in rap history...track so classic it belongs to a museum. RIP the GOD MC Bandana P!!
kappkilla 187 crazy when you think about it. I was gonna disagree and say the best opening line in rap history was “I got you stuck off the realness” safe to say P got two of the greatest opening lines in the history of the genre. Legendary.
I would say it would be good but hadn’t amaru and many more legends went away Things would have been different Because we look up to them and obey But when they died it changed So now we must decide Between the real news and the fake
Wow Thanks for putting those words together. I have never been able to explain even to my own brain why only real rap can fuel my autistic soul non stop when I leave my home. I guess it didn’t need words because it’s just straight up simple like that. My favourite era is -93 until -97
I'm 97 years old but this is one of my favourite songs, which I listen to regularly. I remember the first time I heard it. It was my 71st birthday and my grandson got it for me on CD. I put it on straight away. We had a great night. I cried. Great music is timeless
Look up " the making of Survival of the Fittiest" to see how HAVOC crafted this beat... its way slow down and u would never find the samples... its amazing
I saw Mobb Deep perform in 2016 in Downtown Oakland at the New Parish. It was literally the dopest hip-hop show I've ever been to. They played all their OG cuts, the entire crowd from front to back had their hands up, rappin the shit right with 'em the whole time. When it was over, they didnt leave backstage they left THROUGH the crowd, giving props and handshakes to EVERYONE. I even got a homie handshake from Havoc as he passed by me. One of my favorite memories in my entire life, that night. RIP Prodigy! One love
when i was young, shit was so vague. As soon as i got myself in problems, I realized shit is real. I must be the man i claim to be. Sometimes i really wish i can live another life and not be caught up in the business im in. If you cant fit in and adapt to the environment quicker than the speed of light, than you aint fit for survivor. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!!!
Amen to that! I remember being 17 and bumping this in my 92' Accord with a banger MTX Thunder6000 system, ahh, the good 'ol days. 37 now, and still bumping in my GR86 to classics but with just 1 12" now. We grow young my friend!
Exactly bro I’m high school I hated this boom bat og shit 21 now holy shit they where snapping back in the day I’m tired of the same new hiphop sound it’s all super generic and saturated
Truly the sickest lines ever It's like mixin vodka and milk I'm goin out blastin, takin my enemies with me And if not, they scarred, so they will never forget me
A quarter of a century since this and it still MORE than holds up. The mid-90s was insane for hip hop heads. All Eyez On Me, The Score, Illadelph Halflife, Beats Rhymes and Life, It Was Written, ATLiens, Reasonable Doubt, Stakes Is High and Hell On Earth all turn 25 years old in 2021.
Man the way he comes on the track is just too cold. There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from, you can run but you can’t hide forever. So iconic.
You know I'm from Russia, we didn't have rap in the 90's, someone managed to get it cassettes with onix, wu-tang clan, mobb geep. I'm in my late 30s now, but I still listen to this music. Music from the ' 90s.Rap 90's is the best that was. Modern music, it's full of shit. Respect from Russia.
im from croatia and thankfully we did have american rap but not that much you had the popular guys like ice cube nwa and that. we also had our own croatian rappers and rap groups. 90s in croatia tho were pretty fucked alot of drugs (back in the day a gram of weed was cheaper than a pack of cigs) and alot of poor people, and just alot of people moving out cuz of war. thats atleast what i heard from my parents, and yeah i like listening to both croatian and american rap.
@@zgudarac86 1990's balkan wars in former Yugoslavia was hell on earth. My g/f's dad is from Serbia so I know alot about that war. Its sad because stupid politicians started those problems and then all the good people of Yugoslavia of that time suffered...no one wanted war. That is the past, people need to let go of hate and love their family's, life is short. Good that you have some Hip Hop culture go over there. Peace.
Andre Lopez totaly agree i listen to a few new school rappers (mostly croatian) and they are preety good, but the 90s has a special place in my heart and it was the golden age of hip hop.
Canada. Growing up with this was sweet. It is surely unfortunate the state rap/hip hop is in. To bad the internet happened or you would just be getting into the shit stage.
I use to set off car alarms off and my rear view mirror always fell off, with this track rompin in my cars. 90's system bck then!! Golden era forever............... Who still bumping this with me in 23?? Time is endless with the Mobb..................... New York stand up!
@@damionterry1124 Yeah he choked to a hard boiled egg in a hospital. He had an lifelong illness in his throat I can't remembet the name but nevertheless
Jp 7 Definitely bro I mean personally I already think he was a legend in his short time here. Ya I love his style him and lord finesse and the whole diggin in the crates crew!
Lord Finesse Clan Since 96' yeah I only know about big L but ill check out these other guy you talkin bout but he could've made his legacy even bigger had he lived longer but he is still a legendary rapper to me too

i love how mobb deeps beats are so simple and complex at the same time. it really lets them emphasize on their lyrics 10/10
Havoc is super low profile, his body of work can stand up to anyone's.
Simplicity is the sign of a genius for me
Beats are not complex but they sounds a lot good. Their Melody Is fcking gooood

As a 19 now listening to mobb deep for the first time I am loving old rap more and more 🔥
Once you actually listen to the old school rap that was coming out back then you’ll understand that this was truly a golden era.
I understand this, but this kids nowadays will never understand this!
Im glad i grew up with this era💪🏽
I WAnt this back

Hey Now You A Rockstar square
Hey Now You A Rockstar you can rum but you cant hide forever( continue )
ima edit that out from this streets,
deep... real deep.. the television.. the doctor... the food... the war.
Hey Now You A Rockstar Satan vs Us
A quarter of a century since this and it still MORE than holds up.
The mid-90s was insane for hip hop heads. All Eyez On Me, The Score, Illadelph Halflife, Beats Rhymes and Life, It Was Written, ATLiens, Reasonable Doubt, Stakes Is High and Hell On Earth all turn 25 years old in 2021.
Word! this was and still is on top of the game! The Apex!
No matter how old this is it will always be dope, the baseline by itself kills any of today's skip hop
Youre damn right! Todays rap its all gay autotune shit
If you bumping this in 2019, you a real one !
Im a real one with 13 yo
One of my favorite rap songs period. Lyrics are on point.
Up the Ladder of success
Apostels warning
Wheres ya from (feat. 8Ball)
Shook ones 1+2
Dog Shit (feat. NaS)
Killa Queens
and some others are evergreens
Thanks, bro.
Always....I'm an old guy now, but I was in my prime when this dropped.
Before mumble rap destroyed the game. This is true rap
Man the way he comes on the track is just too cold. There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from, you can run but you can’t hide forever. So iconic.
They'll never make music 🎶 like dis nomore
Damn true😢
New York Rap in the 90's = LEGENDARY
Naa west side was
@@ykhan734 Na NY was better.

New York toocold

@@ykhan734 shut up dude lol they're both legendary just listen to the music and kick back
@@ykhan734 NY was way better and produced better rappers, Prodigy, Nas, Big L, Biggie Smalls, Jay Z, Rakim, Method man, and Big Pun.
Still here ,BIG 2024❤
💪💪💪💪
The legends of the 90's never die.
Miss the 90s
You know I'm from Russia, we didn't have rap in the 90's, someone managed to get it cassettes with onix, wu-tang clan, mobb geep. I'm in my late 30s now, but I still listen to this music. Music from the ' 90s.Rap 90's is the best that was. Modern music, it's full of shit. Respect from Russia.
im from croatia and thankfully we did have american rap but not that much you had the popular guys like ice cube nwa and that. we also had our own croatian rappers and rap groups. 90s in croatia tho were pretty fucked alot of drugs (back in the day a gram of weed was cheaper than a pack of cigs) and alot of poor people, and just alot of people moving out cuz of war. thats atleast what i heard from my parents, and yeah i like listening to both croatian and american rap.
@@zgudarac86 1990's balkan wars in former Yugoslavia was hell on earth. My g/f's dad is from Serbia so I know alot about that war. Its sad because stupid politicians started those problems and then all the good people of Yugoslavia of that time suffered...no one wanted war. That is the past, people need to let go of hate and love their family's, life is short. Good that you have some Hip Hop culture go over there. Peace.
Andre Lopez totaly agree i listen to a few new school rappers (mostly croatian) and they are preety good, but the 90s has a special place in my heart and it was the golden age of hip hop.
respect from serbia brothers
Canada. Growing up with this was sweet. It is surely unfortunate the state rap/hip hop is in. To bad the internet happened or you would just be getting into the shit stage.
RIP Prodigy.a true masterpiece
Indeed bro!
1:19 dance with the devil sample
Yep
Is it? I just listened to it to check and sounds completely different
@@SyroSoul “ I’m fallin’ and I can’t turn back”
Technique took it here
Immortal technique - dance with the devil. “Ive Fallen and i cant turn back” is an iconic line from that iconic song and artist
I use to set off car alarms off and my rear view mirror always fell off, with this track rompin in my cars. 90's system bck then!! Golden era forever...............
Who still bumping this with me in 23??
Time is endless with the Mobb.....................
New York stand up!
I'm 40... I contribute most of my hearing loss to the systems I used to have... Loud was never loud enough!!
I’m 25 and I had never heard this song until about two years ago. Ever since then, this song has been my favorite song. It just does not get old.
I had 2 12 inch bass tubes in a 97 trans am. I must have got 20 noise pollution tickets with this song and biggie
43yo checking in.
47yrs young… check in‼️🙌🙌
The song has so dark and brutal raw vibes. IT feels like.. you're getting ready before some war, going to the ring or for some crime deal.
For me it has both!#Duality 💜🔥🙏🏽
Everybody praises Shook Ones, but I so much prefer this song.
Beat is better IMO
They're both dope as hell
I feel that!
I prefer ‘back at you’
100%. More dark & grimey. Plus I believe the beat is better.
RIP Prodigy (From Mobb Deep )
In 2024 And Anytime For you
RIP P. The GOAT of gutter, grimy, street lyrics at its finest.
One of the greatest hip hop song to ever be produced.
The
Iam still in sa,I got shot,again
“I’m going out blasting, taking my enemies with me and if not they scarred so they will never forget me.”
HE WAS ONLY 19 🙆🏾♂️ what a legend!
I heard prodigy of mobb deep died on a chicken bone or while eating a hard boiled egg.....not from getting shot.
@@damionterry1124 Yeah he choked to a hard boiled egg in a hospital. He had an lifelong illness in his throat I can't remembet the name but nevertheless
@@KorpraaliKuha sickle cell
But he didnt go out blasting, he went out on a hospital bed. Survival of the fittest?
@@anyexpat google what sickle cell does to your body
Definitely one of the greatest beats of all time.
I miss when hip hop was hip hop.
Me too even though I wasn’t even alive
This shit mad corny now. How did we get to fivio foreign and Takashi 69 nem. Smh
Same
I act like there ain’t talent in this generation
from hip hop to slip knot
We livin the 90’s till the day that we die 🙏🏾
Lol facts😂😂😂😂😂
RIP Prodigy!! Glad I was able to see this hip hop legend live before he passed. Bumping shook ones all day and night!
Lord Finesse Clan Since 96' fact rip big L too bro
Jp 7 Ya both went to soon it's a shame I'm sure big L would have dropped at least 2 more albums RIP
Lord Finesse Clan Since 96' factz bro he could've been a legend I really love his choice of beats(samples) he used nice 60s vibe
Jp 7 Definitely bro I mean personally I already think he was a legend in his short time here. Ya I love his style him and lord finesse and the whole diggin in the crates crew!
Lord Finesse Clan Since 96' yeah I only know about big L but ill check out these other guy you talkin bout but he could've made his legacy even bigger had he lived longer but he is still a legendary rapper to me too
"Worst comes to worst my people comes first." Nappy Roots made it a whole song and its the truest shit ever.
Dilated Peoples did it too. That song is the SHIT.
😢😞😔real rap. No mumble just hard core real artist. 👍👍
Facção Central - Brazil
Can you go listen to the song on my channel and tell me if that’s real rap
Slick Raccoon 556 I swear y’all think every new rapper is trash like the slime rappers are trash but Quando rondo, Fredo bang, polo g, etc are actually talented in different ways of delivering there message
Richard-Mekhi Brown all those rappers u just named aren’t even on the same level with mob deep
@@ricchy404 are you joking or do you want a serious explanation?
One of the best tracks of all time ❤
