This track was on the best underground compilation Soundbombing II and the original And1 Mixtape. Both were a major part of Hip Hop and early internet culture in the 90s.
Look at me strolling in early… This was my jam back in high school. Rawkus Records was killing it that year. Sadat X was a member of Brand Nubian. Also had a solo career and did a lot of features in the 90s. His first album is dope and you’d dig it for sure.
They're all dope. A lot of people say Jamar is the weakest link, but I think what it is, he has the quietest and most monotonous flow out of the 3. His lyrics are still on point. When Grand Puba left the first time after their first album, Jamar really stepped his game up lyrically.. He became like MC Ren when Cube left NWA. He was spittin hard all over the In God We Trust and Everything Is Everything albums.
You gotta go back and check out the first Common Sense albums, Can I borrow a dollar? Resurrection, One day it will all make sense, Like water for chocolate...
I'm battling weed addiction. I want to contact Nas and Redman and ask them how they gave it up for awhile. Nas said he gave it up for a year. Redman is currently on a 2 year break from cannabis. He's skydiving as a replacement, though. I don't know about skydiving. 😂😂
Bro u loved hi-tek on this joint. U loved hi-tek on the reflection eternal joint. U loved hi-tek on the 50 cent joints. U need to do a hi-teknology album reaction. One of the dopest producers in hip hop period. Even dre and snoop said tek is one of their favorite producers! Btw he did the beg for mercy intro which is one of the hardest intros I've ever heard on an album
This is one of my favorite songs on Soundbombing II. In fact, that troika sequence of Pharoah Monche - Mayor, Company Flow - Patriotism and Common/Sadat X - 1999 is one of the best sequences in mixtape history.
Common - Hungry Common - Invocation Two of his hardest joints with the hardest beats. Both songs are like 2 min long so doing them both in one reaction would be 🔥
Sadat x formerly Derek X is from a group called Brand Nubian ft. Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, and Sadat X. Do Brand Nubian “Sunshine” “Punks Jump Up” “Slow Down” “Don’t Let it go to your Head”
DJ J.Rocc & Babu, World Famous Beat Junkies are the DJ's who curated the songs on the Rawkus Records "Soundbombing vol. 2" album. Harold Hunter the late professional skateboarder, the guy walking with Kweli in the beginning of the video. You wanna see some crazy beat juggling, check out DJ Babu 'Blind Alley' routine.
Talib Kweli is super prolific and has tons of amazing projects. He helped wake me a lot. His song “The Proud” is what flipped my suburban butt to not trusting cops. Talib Kweli also recently dropped a collab with Coast Contra called “Swat”.
DJ Hi-Tek is on the beat and cuts. He was apart of Reflection Eternal with Talib Kweli, which was a lil side group that Kweli was apart of after the Black Star album. Their album Train of Thought is considered a classic. Hi-Tek is based out of Cincinnati, OH, so he's a Midwestern cat. That's probably the reason why Kweli was there. To support his brother.
Hi-Tek was part of the group called MOOD ruclips.net/video/76FaSHrH7XI/видео.htmlfeature=shared with Donte, Main Flow & Jayson Grimes and released an very underrated album DOOM with top quality beats and rhymes.
Sadat X is apart of Brand Nubian. He has solo albums. I personally liked his first solo joint Wild Cowboys “1996” on loud records. The year 1999 was the peak of The Rawkus records movement. This song was on a compilation called Soundbombing 2. Released on Rawkus records.
@@ArtisanWindchimesI didn't like Sadat buggin' out on FBA like that. I understand he doesn't want to get involved, but he didn't have to drop the hard R.
@@ArtisanWindchimesdon't be afraid to question things. At the end of the day who cared. Open your mind. Don't be indoctrinated by the Rockeffeller education system.
All About the Bad Boys - Common, Twista, Crucial Conflict, Do Or Die, Infamous Syndicate (Shawnna), DA Smart...all Chitown rappers...on the Benjamins beat.
Some solid Talib tracks: 1) Outside the Lounge (off the Lyricist Lounge album, whole album is slept on) ruclips.net/video/O_sytyP7T84/видео.html 2) The Manifesto ruclips.net/video/ErqVXhTbhkA/видео.html
Need to look in Sadat X catalog ... Wild Cowboy it a hot Song! He part of the Classic Group Brand Nubian ...Need too look into punks jump up to get beat Down!
2pac Rappin it's like Political Movement Nas Rapping Like Ancient Prophet When Listen him it's like You Readding Holly Scriptures Eminem rappin like you watch stand up comedy
MAN, Common needs a whole week of reactions. The corner, Go!!, The people, Be.... Chi Town representing
He already did The Corner.
Soul Power by Common is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This track was on the best underground compilation Soundbombing II and the original And1 Mixtape. Both were a major part of Hip Hop and early internet culture in the 90s.
Common laid down some of his best verses here. He was in his lyrical MC bag between '94-'99 before he went all neo soul on us.
The song is also on Like Water for Chocolate
@@RollyFingers That must've been added to later pressings, because it's not in my copy from 2000.
Classic track and that beat still 🔥, 90s hip hop untouchable.

@@shaftpunk84 Sadat X - Wild Cowboys EP the single Hand 'em' High is fire!!!!
This joint is one of those records that you introduce someone for the first time to hip-hop and not just rap.
Classic track right here

Crazy cameos in this one Large Pro, Black Thought and Jeru to name a few🔥beat
Common killed that
You gotta go back and check out the first Common Sense albums, Can I borrow a dollar? Resurrection, One day it will all make sense, Like water for chocolate...
That's the Common I like....'90s Common. 2000 and beyond Common is a different MC.
“Angel on my main shoulder telling me remain sober” was a line that really stuck with me as someone who’s battled alcoholism
I'm battling weed addiction. I want to contact Nas and Redman and ask them how they gave it up for awhile. Nas said he gave it up for a year. Redman is currently on a 2 year break from cannabis. He's skydiving as a replacement, though. I don't know about skydiving. 😂😂
GOD bless you brother.
Sadat X got the illest voice I SWEAR!!
Agree
And he talks the same way... even today after all these years. He's just like DMX in that he talks the same way that he raps
Bro u loved hi-tek on this joint.
U loved hi-tek on the reflection eternal joint.
U loved hi-tek on the 50 cent joints.
U need to do a hi-teknology album reaction.
One of the dopest producers in hip hop period.

Btw he did the beg for mercy intro which is one of the hardest intros I've ever heard on an album
Completely agree! He also had classic joints on the Black Star album!
Ahhh yes… back in the days coming home from school and watching Rap City In Da Basement ❤
CLASSIC! This instrumental is my ringtone! 😂💯
Ayoooooooo.....this is so way back!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Guy who faceplants in the beginning of the video was a famous professional skater from NYC, Harold Hunter (R.I.P).
Oh mannnnnn...been waiting for you to do this one forever!!!
This is one of my favorite songs on Soundbombing II. In fact, that troika sequence of Pharoah Monche - Mayor, Company Flow - Patriotism and Common/Sadat X - 1999 is one of the best sequences in mixtape history.
Sadat X's first solo album "Wild Cowboys" is a HIP HOP classic!!!
Will always love this song becuase of the and 1 mixtape volume 1 the way this song blends in with the crossovers and shit with skip to lou
We had the tape on replay when I worked at Footaction!
Common - Hungry
Common - Invocation
Two of his hardest joints with the hardest beats. Both songs are like 2 min long so doing them both in one reaction would be 🔥
Cunninlynguists - mic like a memory
Was the sample used in Commons first verse. Classic underground joint.
You can scratch a litany of hooks from Common's verses here.
Sadat x formerly Derek X is from a group called Brand Nubian ft. Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, and Sadat X.
Do Brand Nubian
“Sunshine”
“Punks Jump Up”
“Slow Down”
“Don’t Let it go to your Head”

Common and Hi-Tek - Tekzilla
Classic song! Great reaction! Love you bro!!!❤

This is one of my favorite Common deep cuts 🔥🔥 the man is goated, I won't hear otherwise
Do the whole soundbombing 2 comp.
That mixtape closed out the '90s perfectly...

Common's first verse on this is one for the books...SO MANY quotables
Yes. Yes they are lyrical giants. Top tier rap.

Yes this song was on one of the And 1 Mixtapes!
Dope track from the infamous Rawkus sound bombing 2 compilation album. React to that whole album dope tracks in there , you won't be disappointed.
Love this joint.
Graduated high school that year, track stayed in my sony walkman
O.C. - Let it Slide. Shockingly, I think there's only one reaction to this classic record on all of youtube.
Common’s ice cube diss track is extremely underrated.
Another Common song to review is Retrospect For Life. Lauryn Hill sings the hook.
You gotta react to Love Language by Talib Kweli ft. Hi-Tek!
Amazing track & lyricists!!!!
@3:00 Did you see the cameo by Black Thought and Jeru the Damaja?
R.I.P to Harold Hunter, the skateboard legend from LES , he repped zoo york.. was gone too soon.
You heard this on the And 1 mixtape feat skip to my lou.
Peep who Common standing with in the video. That was going to be a supergroup with him, Tariq, & Jeru
“On this gray ball of stress that they call the Earth” - Sadat X… Lord Jamar can learn something from him 😂😂😂
No he can learn something from Lord Jamar, its 2025 welcome to the future
I see what you did there. 😂😂
