- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2012
- From the 1994 Album: "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"...(Click "show more" for artist info)...
Artifacts is a hip hop group consisting of El Da Sensei, Tame One and DJ Kaos. They hail from Newark, New Jersey and made underground music that paid homage to the four elements of hip hop. The Artifacts' most popular single "Wrong Side of Da Tracks" paid special homage to graffiti art, as they were graffiti artists themselves.
They released their first album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place on October 27, 1994. Well received by underground hip hop audiences, it featured b-boy and graffiti themes. The album's beats were produced by Buckwild (from the DITC crew) and T-Ray (from the Soul Assassins crew). The Artifacts' second album, That's Them was released on April 15, 1997. It featured similar material, but it did not receive as much recognition as their debut effort. The Artifacts split soon after the release of this second album.
Tame One and El Da Sensei have both continued to release music as solo artists. In 2003, Tame One joined the Weathermen, an underground rap group including Cage Kennylz, Camu Tao, Aesop Rock, and El-P. Soon after joining the Weathermen, Tame One and Cage released the album Waterworld under the name Leak Bros. In 2009, Tame ONe collaborated with another member of the Definitive Jux label, releasing the album Parallel Uni-Verses with Del the Funky Homosapien. El Da Sensei has released a number of solo albums and collaborated with the Polish rap group The Returners in 2008, as well as East Coast-based group, The Immortals Project in 2009.
In August 2009 at the Rock Steady Crew Anniversary Weekend in Newark, New Jersey, Artifacts briefly reunited during a performance by El Da Sensei. According to Tame One the duo have not reconciled their differences but when he heard the horn riff which introduces "Wrong Side of Da Tracks", he felt like performing it. The impromptu reunion has not led to any official reunion.
On August 2, 2010 at The Rock Steady Crew 33rd Anniversary Celebration in Newark, New Jersey, both El Da Sensei and Tame One along with DJ KAOS performed officially as The Artifacts. They performed several songs from their respective catalogs as well as Artifacts material at this show. It is confirmed that they are indeed back together and in the process of collaborating on a new Artifacts album.

One of the grittiest songs ever made. The lyricism, the beat, the Jack Bruce sample. Just perfection. RIP Tame.
Which is the jack Bruce sample ?
@@Heretic_Hero The sax at the beginning and on the chorus is from “Born to Be Blue” by Jack Bruce.
@@vsmith1688 you a real king fo dat
As additional info, Jack Bruce is actually a bass player , the sax is played by Dick Heckstall-Smith. The tune was also sample by Da Beatminerz for Smif-n-Wessun's Bucktown.
Don’t sleep on the 9th Creation “Bubblegum” sample.

@@folddpd1 not that many 90s rappers left
He just died today :/
Rip TAME one
@@donaldzrbeats5937 He died on Saturday
It's a sad day for the culture. Rest in Power Tame One! Artifacts gave me life! Rejuvenated me to go back to the trains my senior year in High School. Nothing like throwing up while listening to this track! Salute to all the writers! Hit one for Tame!
Word.
Already am my guy🙏🏼
Rest in Power Tame. Underrated by the masses, Respected by the real 🫡
If you were a teenager during these times you experienced the last pure form of the culture where different sections of hip hop still intersected. Rap and graf. People were still dancing . Dj's would still be a part of the group. And producing beats and digging for record. Then the 2000's hit.
it's like that. I'm proud to was a 16 year old head bach then.....
cause my name is famous in the STREETS
They thought the same about kids in the 80s 70s 60s and 50s lol
Real shit bro!
NeutralAtJSP Original comment is about hip hop specifically so I'm pretty sure they weren't saying that in the 50s and 60s 🤔
Skateboards and hip in the 90's, what comes close today?
38 years old. White boy from Maine who transplanted to Brooklyn at 17 ..lived on 112th and lennox...South bronx Anthony Ave off east tremont...prospect and intervale .LES.. and finally back to BK to stay. Was on the wrong side of the tracks for a long time. Made it back. ✌..stay safe yall. Been listening to this for as long as i can remember.
I miss "Real" Hip-Hop so much. I'm glad to be a part of this era with so many good memories..
2022 and still nothing hits like 90s hip hop 🐐
Word up RIP Tame 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
And never will be....one of the greatest eras in hip hop
this is how New Jersey sounded when I was a kid back in the 90's. I don't know what the fuck this Fetty Wap shit is now.
Foreal man. the east coast sound is gone. I miss the shit dearly.
Decay of the music industry :/
+Justice Allah Hahahahahaaaaa!
+Justice Allah word these dudes don't know how the rugged shit sounds anymore.
+Justice Allah WORD LIFE!!!!
Wrong side of the tracks classic underground hip-hop for your head💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
100%
Its crazy that most my hip hop friends,(I'm a metalhead but dig alot of rap in our times in the 90s)..they dont know this gem,.I introduced them Das Efx, Onyx,Krs-One for Christ sake..Krs One!!.
Watching this reminds me of the 90s in BK and how we knew we were cool, but we had no idea how cool of an era we were living in. I feel like I'm now looking from the outside in and it's beautiful!
There are many masterworks from this era, but this is just smooooth. Jazzy
, heavy, true thats what I love
Chiamarla canzone è un eufemismo. Io la chiamerei "insieme di schiamazzi di gentaglia senza la minima cultura"
Damn RIP Tame one 🙏🏾🙏🏾used the play the hell outta this song. 🔥🔥
Skipping class, smoking blunts, listening to this shit right here. I miss the nineties.....
Hell yeah..jersey

Tame and El were big influences on my life back in the early 90's. I personally been up to 89 tech 9 with them at Columbia. Me and El worked together at St Michaels hospital in Newark. Many boom sessions in the Chevette ridin thru hooterville. Rest in Power Tamer D!
lucky one brotha ! thanks for sharing.
Tame was a hella cool dude. Hung with him and El for a day in Austin while they were on their first promo tour. LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Tame was just as nice on the turntables as he was on the microphone and with the paint.... shut me down on my own shit! lol
RIP to a real Hip Hop head. ✊️
He could dance back in the day too. One of the last true all around B-Boy's.
Rip Tame. Thanks for the memories and contribution to the culture!

RIP TAME1. Ya Name will be forever famous in the Streets.
"I'm out to bomb like Vietnam under the same name Tame One
The bad one, ink flow master bastard with the magnum"....classic!!!
Tame one would squeeze 6 rhymes in a bar. In my opinion he was the most under rated rapper of my time.
"I'm bout to bomb like Vietnam under the same name Tame One" - Damn this hurts. You were hip hop on so many levels and I appreciated that sooooooo much. Bomb in Peace
Rest easy tame one. One of the dopest tracks from a great time in my life.
"Watch the 3rd rail track cause I don't wanna get zapped" RIP Ramo and Spit.....

William McGee Which track?

Yo, It's 2020 and the Coronavirus: Covid19 has hit hard worldwide, but real hip hop hits harder through these hard times. This track def tackes me back. Stay healthy everyone.
At least COVID didn't happen in the 90's or things could've way worse than it is now! Especially with the lack of "modern technology" at the time and other serious things.
Peace and love from Miami
Peace and love, God.
What's a covid and why is it 19?
real hip hop hits harder. couldn't have said it better
peace
RIP my brother Tame One!
El Da Sensei and the late Tame One , Artifacts . On and on , and beyond.
Peace from the Midwest
The 1990s to hip hop was like the 1960s to rock. True to the music and never selling out.
2022, im from Spain and im here paying respect to this masterpiece ✊

Rest In Peace Tame One 🙏🏾✨
Tame is so great, love his unchangeable flow
thanks?...(my flowz CHANGE bruh)
@@thetame1andonlyyheard498 mad propssssss
Tame passed away about almost a week ago.
I was alive when this track first dropped, but I was also too young to remember. I didn't learn the meaning of this track until I discovered the thrill of the graff scene during my jr. high and high school years. I have to say that those were some of my best years on this planet. The adrenaline I felt every time I caught a tag, or fill on the streets of NYC were my biggest accomplishments then. Having people tell me that they saw me up was more flattering than a girl telling me she was into me. This song right here was on my daily rotation because I related to the story being told. It brings me back. "Let the toys bring the noise, me and my boys are gonna diss em." Word. Get up!
This album and Redman's debut plus Chief Rocka a little earlier lit this city on fire no joke! And our crews all knew each other. I'm glad I made it out of that decade alive, a lot of us didn't, so I can just sit home sometimes and just reminisce....this city was crazy as hell back then but it was incredible!

RIP Tame One, you will be missed!🙏🏾
R.I.P. TAME ONE. One of the best to do it from New Jeruz. 🙏🏾
R.I.P Tame One a illest rapper on the underground man, straight out, peace.
Im proud I can say I grew up in the 90s. Skateboarding, graff writing, and hip hop! RIP B.V.M. crew Eville Indiana!
I wouldn't say "I'm proud"... I would say I was lucky enough (I don't if I should thank my parents or a superior Spiritual Force, or both) to grow up in the '70 & '80.
rawkus812indiana FROM HOUSTON..I feel you keep it alive kid!!! If your ever in H Town.. let's skate and drink
@@filthyloops9821 Huh?? shut the fuck up lol
Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯
I graduated high school in 96 across the river from Newark NJ and I skated for Shut NYC back then, bombed EVERY night for most of the decade and went to probably 4,000 New York and New Jersey Hardcore shows. The 90's are a bubble of time that all the great memories I have and where all the crazy stories come from.
my childhood hopping trains , beepers , NY knicks in the playoffs , street fighter arcades ugghhh why you left me
TheMegainfinite Wow ur comment hit home with me smh damn

classic
Rest in Paint my brother
Long live TAME ONE....
Rest in paradise Tame1 you will be dearly missed brother. Thanks for chopping it up with all of us in fall river that wonderful night! 💕
Golden era.
Heavy era.
Still Is
True
Ahhh... when hip hop was good
Hip-Hop is still so good.
MrKillianDude what the fuck do you know.
MrKillianDude You must be fucking joking. Just another white kid from the burbs that know nothing about REAL Hip Hop, and it's origins. I bet you think Lil Wayne is the best thing going today. Fucktard.
Waynestarr2 I've nothing to prove, you seem so ignorant, coming and judging me on things you don't even know, thinking you'll be a star 'cause you've been violent on the Internet? I'm a white kid? Maybe, but If you're a grown man, then shame on you. My message was peace, and you came with your hysterical shit, if you know nothing about TDE, Pro Era, OF, Flatbush Z., Branson, Brown, Mensa, Chance.. then you know shit about actual Hip-Hop. No one mentioned Lil Wayne except you, you stupid ass.
MrKillianDude Ehh these names aren't the best, you should dig deeper. Check out Illogic, Revolutionary Rhythm, Veks...
They were ahead of their time, and under-appreciated for it. This is hip hop in its purest form.
REST IN PAINT!
