    It's clear that Krumb's passion to create this is why this turned out amazing. The soulful organs, bass, and vivid lyrics make this a timeless classic. Hip hop cannot be denied when it is genuine.

      @@miroslavadobrilovic1881 The scene has changed a lot since the advent of the internet. It's more about consuming music than participating in the cultur publically in jams or cyphers or whatever. The "scene" as it was is non-existant. But I think that's a global phenomenon. As far as commercial success is concerned german rap is dominating the charts (next to "Volksmusik").

    12:12 If you wanna be on, take this most infamous Gangstarr Preemo quote, lol.
    I love the Preemo Krumb Snatcha collabs, "put up or shut up", "Closer 2 God" & "Make Em Pay". Make em pay is so HOLY & reminds me of Wizard's track on the Firm album "Untouchable". What went wrong with us, Hip Hop because Hip op is us as we're not seperated from this culture is that" Make em pay" wasnt played. You cant play golden era without giving people the vibe of the golden era. & da vibe of the golden era was we were immeresed in Beat bumpin dope poetry. ok?
    Now we are killing each other with methods like British accent. You knowm say'ing. True we can't forget about Dre, But it reminds me of D-Flow of the Ghetton Dwellas "Must have forgot."

    I was 16. Listening to Stretch and Bob and and heard this classic for the first time. I was just starting to DJ and was lucky enough to get all my vinyl from the original Fat Beats in NYC. A sleeper Preemo classic beat. I used to spin it for emcees to spit on for my tapes but for some reason nobody liked to rhyme on it. I'll never understand that but I'm not an emcee. Regardless, it was perfect for Krumb Snatcha and I'll always love this song. Never knew about the intro and chorus flip! That blew my mind. Love you, Preem! Love this show so much. For the headz!
