@@basquiatttt A top 5 takes some serious thought for me. There are so many dope tracks! I've been stuck on "Square one - Until Then" lately.

Classic Canadian hip hip right here. Straight out of Toronto. To the people from the States this is what real Toronto hip hop sounds like. None of that Drake shit.
Bro we know what real rap sounds like. Remember though that the DJ’s and producers have a lot of influence on what makes a track great. A lot of these 90’s tracks have amazing samples and that’s usually what separates yesterday’s rap from today. Not including that mumble BS.
One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Not even going to try and describe in words, we all get it once we've heard it. And even when you've heard it for the 100th time it still hits just the same.
@@YttiwgnihtemosI highly doubt that. Yes there are great songs out there nowadays but it's very rare. And the mumble-trap stuff will not be a classic that will still be listened to in another decade I think. Plus the music of the next generation will be absolutely beautiful in the age of aquarius. Again my belief. 🙏🏽
Elite level production. If you listen closely you can hear that the sample clips with and without the Bill Withers vocals are the same clip. Just with the vocals present or EQ'd out. And those drums and bass line are phenomenal.
Good Rap never miss the high... Up From Marseille ! En 1.9.9.6 j'avais 7 ans, pas suffisamment Young pour ne pas tomber Amoureux du Double H qui devenait cet année la notre seul religion !
Thanks for these song. He's catching my soul. My inner child just fly high 😢❤ no problems, free soul, creativity,friends,graffiti,breakdance, hip hop and nothing more. Today the world is so grey und toxic. The 90's hip hop sounds like that, had touch my soul to feel free.

I never recall getting a chance to hear such music on the radio. I'm a 96' baby and was only ever introduced by my dad through his ripped cd's and vinyls.
you're right don Juan. The sound quality is just too clean. That's the reason why cats that still use the sp-12 and sp-1200 are still getting props because people love the sound quality. Trap music is temporary but beats like this that you can feel in your soul will be here for ever. you are emu systems reissued the sp-1200
there was the asian movment lead by nujabes that though wasnt old school had cool sounds an other modern one i love for all sound, metric and lyrics is handlebars of flobots. definitley have to name out specifics: under the hood, beach of life, take me back, patience, that is why, lets get, dont get it twisted, real boss word up from rome
Everytime I hear this song it gives me goosebumps and brings me back to the mid 90s being in highschool riding the RT in scarborough. Straight classic!
I see you toronto......back in the day most areas all over the world still kept the real essence of hip hop while still maintaining there unique sound now alot of the stuff that passes for hip hop today is laughable.
There are so many factors that make this a masterpiece of a track, I'll just say my favorite and it's that kick drum sound plus that pattern!! so unique that I hardly remind of any hip hop track even just similar, it adds a sick bounce to the mellow main sample and the result is just wow! Can't stop cruising with this one, it's a quite recent discover of mine but looks like it's going straight to my top tier hip hop tracklist!
Beat 100%, Verses 100%, Sample 100% "ONE TIME, so feel the rain from behind" what a line "I got my bags packed (Check) I got my boots strapped (Check) I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack (Check) Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll Sounds of war" the way the hook is layed down is dope af, dont think theres a better way to go about it Many factors your right, but at its core i think its the simplicity that makes it dope
Honestly one of the best song i have ever heard, just found it yesterday and i have heard this a million times already!!! Definetly cheeking out more of this creators songs🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Reason I'm thinking is because this is Underground Boom Bap Hip Hop.Spotify missing out.Citizen Kane from Canada,and they're whole tape is still a Classic.
Spotify is for the majority that are all about relevance and numbers, clearly they are all missing out. Everyone wants to move on with the times it seems. RUclips is the only place where you dig and find classics like this 🔥. I don't mess with Spotify for this main reason! Much love
Wow...I'm from Dallas Texas (U.S) and I stumbled upon this on accident and may i add, this is one of the most fire shit I've ever heard Respect from an O.G rap specialist and the U.S.A
If you missed the 90s, you can know and understand how it felt by listening to this or ‘93 Till Infinity by Soulz of Mischief Edit: or Da Summa by 3 6 Mafia
Notice how NO producers make beautiful beats like this anymore. For some inexplicable reason, producers today use generic "clean" sounding techniques, instead of the classic MPC500s and SP1200s. Fuck it, I'll always listen to underground shit and so will my kids :)
This track reminds me back when I was in love with this girl in high school use to hold hands and kiss in the hall ways dam this song hits different now …wish everything was like then now she has a kid with this other cat …and think she pregnant 🤰 again …but ya know how that go ain’t worth a f ….hopes one day she realizes my feelings weren’t anything less then raw ….like this track word up to all the hiphop heads out there stay up and blessed ❤ ya remember we all the same just flesh and bones but people wanna treat you like a stepping stone
oh yeah, when i dj on parties, this OG Vinyl is in my cratez.. itz just a dancing sureshot with a lotta positive energy. and i play this for me, ... and a lil bit for the crowd ;) ...awesome track!! peace, dj skeli
When i listen to rap that i really like there's always a listen that comes later either being 3rd or 5th. Its like im reading a book and i get the whole picture in my head. I love rap
Producers in the 90s were on a whole other level man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're right bro
GenX that’s why.
Just more soul, more free soul and Real creativity ❤
Tru indeed!
That bill withers sample is godly
Matteh 100%
Crazy how they snatched that. The filters make it extra dope
The drums go so well with the sample!
What song is it sampled from?
Marcus Gotti bill withers- make a smile for me

me too...
Do you still?
I do
4 times a day for me 😅😅
Every week atleast 6 times
I get sad when i hear these joints and remember the time when this is on the radio and hip-hop was still hip-hop
Remember it's still there you just have to look. Ik it's hard but it's there. Listen to joey badass 1999
We really do weep and if you don't then this was never your music

This is truly a masterpiece, flow is elegant, so beautiful.
One of the finest tracks in the history of hip hop no joke
these beats.... way ahead of its time. timeless for me... i became an old head at 29 yrs old with old school hip hop.
This beat and the dudes voice are so laid back and it's the type of song u smoke a blunt and lay back to
I discovered this track this year and I thank God.
This is the golden era of hip hop. I wish songs still had that authenticity like these songs did
Man this song takes me back to '96. Feeling so many great memories come back to me as I think about those years. Glad you guys are feeling it too.
Ryan Jedlicka Real hiphop always feels magical.
Good Rap never miss the high... Up From Marseille ! En 1.9.9.6 j'avais 7 ans, pas suffisamment Young pour ne pas tomber Amoureux du Double H qui devenait cet année la notre seul religion !
Ryan Jedlicka Agree 💯 This song hits my heart. Takes me back to that time.
Such a hidden gem! Sick beat, amazing flow and great lyrics.
The feeling of hearing this for the very first time is 🔥🔥
I’m glad I discovered this in high school , music like this hits different to those certain people who can appreciate it. Thank you !
🙌
This is usually one of the first songs I spark to during the day.
I listen to this on repeat. Probably 5000 times so far. I am not going to stop.
Wtf
U stopped tbh
@@actingneaky yes. Thanks for reminding me. I will start again right now
Everyday, at least once here@@numarkaz !
This is the hip hop I grew up with, I am so blessed to be alive in that era.
im 14 nearly 15 and i wish i grew up in this age of hip hop, its so good
This track is DOPE! So underrated. I love the use of the vocal sample.
15 years later, I still come back for this specific track. This can never disappear, it is property of the people now.
honestly this track's so smooth removes a headache with ease
Thanks for these song. He's catching my soul. My inner child just fly high 😢❤ no problems, free soul, creativity,friends,graffiti,breakdance, hip hop and nothing more. Today the world is so grey und toxic.
The 90's hip hop sounds like that, had touch my soul to feel free.
Got this song on a cassette in Sweden from a friend who visited Canada yeeears ago. Still one of the best songs ever made
Dope. Haven't heard a bad track yet!!

Buds of joy in budda sack what this means?:D
@@CocainCasino weed lol
Check ✅
I can't get enough of this track
[Verse 1]
At times I recline way back n’ puff stacks, revelations
Direct my conversations about the devils we be lacing
In the revolution Vietnam is how I'm troopin'
My mind's been a battle since birth
That's why I'm puffin L's and juicin'
Like ya man in arms, you blueprint
Planning my attack on the sounds of waters twins we loopin'
Been inspiration for my soldiers at night
Mad brothers holding corners
Selling shit that burn right
And I be sparkin' like a sniper on sight
Watching shifty niggas through my optic range
Cuz life’s a bitch and now she got me acting strange
So I maintain with ill proposes
Rhymes will send a message like the burning bush to Moses
The child would've never chose this life
This shit is trifer than the devils anger
So I reload my mind in every chamber
But clips of danger
I'm Infiltratin' strangers with the ill precision of a green beret
To sacrifice your whole division
My niggas call on me like right religion
Envision Kane to reign majestic
My mans are vigilantes on some next shit
Profanities and tech shit
My sanity reflects my life in hell, surviving hell
Now I reside in hell
And feed corruption through my clientele
Means for making dreams, ill production schemes
The man is raisin' in hell as the swing of pro rebels, one time
So feel the rain from behind
Pure gold.
@@ablove81yeah this is hard af

90s blast from the past !!

Here's to another year. Citizen Kane still on heavy rotation in my playlist.
27 years old, like good vine...
Three years coming back to this banger.. Citizen Kane never gets old
Still one of my favourite mixes of all time.
I discovered this song yesterday. What a dope vibe man. Puts my mind into a different time/dimension while listening
Dude, do yourself a favour and check the Elements of Mind (Black Rain Remix) version.
Goodlord this brings tears to my eyes and chills❤️🎶 Real shit right here. Peace through the sounds 🙏🏽

everybody wanted that New York sound LOL
This track was really slept on. Good days that we will never have again
i find these less common tracks to give off a vibe a lot better than mainstream 90s. insane
This is real hip hop/rap.
I've been looking all over for this song. I remember listening to this song like I believe 1996. This when hip-hop was all about lyrics.

Spent this winter in Toronto, I can see why this track came to life after walking around the cold empty streets of this maze of a metropolis.
This song reminds me of the adult swim bumps from the early-mid 2000s.
