Man… This dropped in November 2000. I was 11. The beat, the verses by Mos and Pharaoh captivated me. The hook became unforgettable. I had this burned on CD and loved this song so much as a kid. Jamming to this on the bus On my way To school. Immediate fan of Nate Dogg, Mos Def and Pharoah thanks to this… aired on either vH1 or The Box. I’m 35 now… still here for it in 2024. One of the greatest rap songs ever especially in this era of the early 2000s. RIP Nate Dogg ❤
I’m in my early forties and this song will always be in my top 10 greatest hip hop songs of all time. ALL TIME!!! Younger folks just don’t understand how HUGE this song was when it graced the airwaves. East coast verbal voracity with West Coast swag and style. This song was and still is an absolute gem. Impeccably well written in every aspect. Pure hip hop alchemy.
I JUST realized for the first time some of the west coast heavyweight lyricists of that era made cameo appearances in this video. (Ras Kass, Saafir) This track can almost bring a tear to my eye because at the time it almost seemed like the alternative/underground scene was going to be able to go heads up against the mainstream rap of the day and overtake it in terms of popularity. It didn’t but still, what a time it was to be alive.....
@@dawb86 I feel you 1000 percent. This song here should be considered hip hop royalty. Untouchable. I get a lil emotional too when I soak in the weight of this masterpiece. If I could only go back in time to relive it when it was still fresh and bask in the atmosphere this song created and watch everyone else in the know do the same. 👌
most people don’t understand any of it in general it’s crazy. There are so many fucking songs from east coast and west coast rappers/producers/styles. it was an insanely perfect era of music. So dope that there were two basic kinds of hip-hop and both were godly
@@matt-vv9rj naw bro. I'm an old skool head. From the original South Bronx streets where it all began. I'm talking 1973. Just to put it context. In NYC we have mad love for Southern rap. Just be able to spit. Unfortunately, a lot of it is "Cookie Cutter" music. Meaning, we found a formula that works so let's mass produce it. ORIGINALS in the game get love regardless of where you are from. My 2 cents One 🙏🏿
@@matt-vv9rj also that entire generation of people that grew up during that East vs West era grew up on music only from their sides. Lots of older people still finding new music from the 90's they never heard because it was from the other coast. Pretty cool
This track has never aged! From the beat to the lyrics to the artists its just class! One of the greatest lines ever too... "The kids better buy my rookie card now cause after this year the price aint coming down"
P. Monch has definitely one of the greatest flows in hip hop history.... i think Tech N9Ne got his flow from Monch... i'd see Tech & P.Monch on the same track... they were in Sway and Tech - The Anthem ... but that's not enuff
Watch it every week, the Pharoahe lyrical expertise is phenomenally out this world! Nobody has touched the amazing skill of this guy. Years and years still the best I've heard any rapper has ever spit!
@@lovelymusicnow4404 im a fan of us rap music since 1999 also our new generation put respect to us rap music... Thanks for giving us this art to the indusry
@@taoufik.Morocco Do you still live in Morocco? What’s it like there? Here’s a fun fact, I’m African American but I did 3 dna blood test and they all tell me I’m a descendent of the Moorish people who ruled and live in Spain and eventually fled to Morocco 🇲🇦. I think many African Americans are descendants of the moors and just don’t know it. So I wonder if I have blood relatives in morocco too
@@lovelymusicnow4404 i know that story of moorish people they still have morocca. Flag in america welcome anytime america and Morocco have a good relationship
Most of the good new rap is from underground artists. Don't know exactly when the game flipped from having lots of great lyricists in the mainstream scene to what it is now. The old artists are still making music, it's just not given the same attention as the new shit because it's exactly not that. Record labels are giving preference to the crap artists that make ringtone raps and club bangers because that's what the rest of the dumb millenials like. There are some of us though that still hold it down for the real talent though, you just have to look for it. Go check out A-F-R-O. He's an upcoming artist with an old school style that's about to blow up! Can't wait for his album to drop. Just look up "Code 289."
Then you get people like me.... ain't no big hip hop fan but this is a serious tune.... one of the best I've heard yet.... up there with bone thugs let's ride!!!
Pharoah Monch has one of the best styles hands down! His verse here, is simply incredible! In conjunction with Mos & Nate, the trio is lethal! Dope track. Period. "Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin And it amazes - me how you claim thug But go two-ways without Skytel pagers" That flow & delivery is infectious, hence his opening line!
I’m glad I lived through the era of raw bars from the realest Emcees…hip hop has been long dead and I’m afraid it will never be the same again. Much love ! RIP Nate
@@blackworldonline hm, from a technical perspective perhaps but pharaohe has the advantage of having all those great artists that he could learn from that came before him during the golden era, while rakim was one of the first ones to put lyrical rappers on the map like that. Can't compare the two basically Overall body of work and cultural impact he's not touching rakim

Already early century was insane rest in love Nate
In my late forties and I agree!
Ohh we know old timer
Pharoahe Monch snapped on this one , his flow and word play is flawless
Truth. Now I got to replay The Equinox.
No lies detected.
It kills me how low he gets rated by people.
Mi
right, hard to outshine Mos, but he did
Nate is the one guy they never could find to even fill the space, let alone replace
The king of hooks
Oh nooooo! We will never see this again:
2 MCs killing it.
Hook is unreal.
Beat is crazy.
Good positive vibe... talent
Erick Sermon from EPMD produced this. I didn't know that
@@streetfrogg actually it's produced by rockwilder...
Rockwilder was co producer
Des frissons
@@streetfroggwow thx
The production, the lyrics, the composition of this song is hugely underrrated. It’s definitely a classic for me.
Don't forget that damn hook. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not underrated amongst those in the knows
@@cornybeef Yep
The most compleye rap song ever made imo!
@@cornybeef right. Always been a banger
We will never have new music like this again. Rest in peace Nate Dogg.
Everything Nate Dogg touched turning into gold
I met Mos Def couple of times in Copenhagen by coincidence....he is really down to earth and a big artist...
Met him in Paris, what a nice human being
Oh boy Pharoah Monch's verse deserves all kinds of nominations! A grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy, and even a nobel peace prize lol
Yeah that boy did snap
True lol
@@diohpeah371📠 😂
its just insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee brooo a masterpiece

Even in 2021 this song is sick.....and not a mumble in sight..... Original hip-hop yet again stands the test of time
Despite the east vs. west drama that went on back in the day, whenever New York and California collaborate, the result is always beautiful.

It was a very fun lit era

"Whoever still riding to this is a real one" - Me 2018 2020 ain't it but at least I know that we still some of the realest hip hop fans
We’re here
East and West together? Did you really have to ask?
I'm still riding 2020!❤️
i'm still......
Always
This is just a perfect mix: Def's smooth flow, Monch's mania and Nate's hooks
Perfect blend
This ranks among the best hooks by Nate Dogg with the deliveries of Mosdef and Pharaoh. This is 2024 and we are still right here.
I consider Pharoahe Monch's rhymes in this my #1 all time favorite verse! For passion, flow, and all around mic dominance!
The bars were giving me the chills man 🥶🥶
hook,music it's just perfect..Nate Dogg makes every song so good..2024 still rocking this😊
Pharoahe Monch killed it on this cut. R.I.P. Nate Dogg.

Still loving this song.
Rip Nate Dogg. ♥️
First of all rip Nate the hardest hook man and mos def killed it pharaoh too
2:01 - 2:11 one of the sickest flows i have ever heard.
1:44 - 2:44
P. Monch has definitely one of the greatest flows in hip hop history.... i think Tech N9Ne got his flow from Monch... i'd see Tech & P.Monch on the same track... they were in Sway and Tech - The Anthem ... but that's not enuff
I think same
Pharaoh one of the best freestyle i ve never heard in rap music
I can hear eminem between 2:01 and 2:11
Still banging end of this year 2024
2020 has been a crazy year. Needed to hear some dope music
Nate... a millionaire off features alone! Loved this guy's energy in music
Died broke.

What a great track. Nate Doug's West Coast singing, high caliber East Coast rappers, and a unique production.
Watch it every week, the Pharoahe lyrical expertise is phenomenally out this world! Nobody has touched the amazing skill of this guy. Years and years still the best I've heard any rapper has ever spit!
Probably The Most Underrated HipHop Song Of The 2000’s 🎤 🎶
Can't believe two DECADES passed since this jam dropped!!! Still rockin' to this like a reptile in the sun while we bask in greatness.
"I earned what they said I wouldn't! Got it the way they said I couldn't!" 💯 BARSSSS! 🔥🔥🔥

Still gives me goose bumps listening to Monch's verse here and I have heard it 200x.
I miss when hip hop music was like this on the radio this it's still one of my favorite songs 💪💯

@@blktank083 he aint underrated
@@damnson5079 great rapper, also very talented actor. Loved him on Chappelle as well.
Because Monch oblitorated him in that verse. That was 2Pac quality right there!

This song is unbelieveble!!! Nate Dogg R.I.P.!!!
Thumbs up if Mos needs to make a new album!!
Idk tbh, his last album was mediocre imo.
black starr album droppin this yr i think
@Chastidee ima guy lmao
Rip Nate dogg

2022 till forever!!
NATE DOG NEVER NEEDED AUTO TUNES - JUST HIS ORIGINAL VOICE - THE ORIGINAL HOOK GOD DAM WE MISS HIM HE DIED TOO EARLY
Shoooooooo Pharo That Dude ! RiP 🙏 to a Legend in The Hook 🐐 Nate Dog!
Memories of my teenage years ❤❤❤❤
I miss this kind of Rap....where has the talent gone
I ask the same question
+Jesse Jackson Most of the rappers are still alive. Apparently they weren't talented extensively and ran out of material.
+Jesse Jackson most them dont want to be in the gay mafia thats running actual rap scene just read this song lyrics first mos def verse ;)
+Jesse Jackson There is still good rap out you just gotta find it nigga.
Most of the good new rap is from underground artists. Don't know exactly when the game flipped from having lots of great lyricists in the mainstream scene to what it is now. The old artists are still making music, it's just not given the same attention as the new shit because it's exactly not that. Record labels are giving preference to the crap artists that make ringtone raps and club bangers because that's what the rest of the dumb millenials like. There are some of us though that still hold it down for the real talent though, you just have to look for it. Go check out A-F-R-O. He's an upcoming artist with an old school style that's about to blow up! Can't wait for his album to drop. Just look up "Code 289."
2024!!!!!!! Stand up the Age of Knowing!!!!
Classic Material Nate 🐕 Dog 👑 King Of The 🪝 Hook R.i.p
The new generation of rappers should come here to learnnnnnn...
Exactly!!!
We old my G, they don’t understand the issues
They dont have the attention span smh
Still one of the illest songs in da game... 2020!!!
"Its No Utopia" ruclips.net/video/OAaZRJ8_9rQ/видео.html
Monch’s verse will go down as one of the greatest verses in rap history!
I was officially a backpacker in this era.. from some of favourite artist
2022,.still love this 🎶 ❤️
Mos Def killed it
Namaste
Mos Def, killed it Pharaoh M 'murdered'it Nate Dogg compltely bodied tha chourus it,CLASS!!!!!!Nuff Said ❤❤❤❤
There's Fans and the are Heads, this one is for the Heads, because it ain't no ordinary Hip Hop song.
Amen to that
Yes
Then you get people like me.... ain't no big hip hop fan but this is a serious tune.... one of the best I've heard yet.... up there with bone thugs let's ride!!!
Pharoah Monch has one of the best styles hands down! His verse here, is simply incredible! In conjunction with Mos & Nate, the trio is lethal! Dope track. Period.
"Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin
And it amazes - me how you claim thug
But go two-ways without Skytel pagers"
That flow & delivery is infectious, hence his opening line!
🔥🔥🔥 still in 2024!
This shit never gets old.
it really doesn't.
1dirty7 you know keep it up good calls
1dirty7 i agree
Pharoahe monch absolutely killed this track. He is incredibly underrated. Definitely top 15 of all time.
Classic...RIP Nate!
Damn, Monch lyrically rode that beat like a horse, flawless!!!
Lol, flawless indeed
Nate Dogg KILLS EVERY SONG ! !
Where would rap hip hop be without nate dogg in the 90s 2000s with his amazing melody's 3 kings on this tune
