His rap style is dated compared to others. He hit harder than Kool G Rap during his era but when you listen to songs back then, Kool G Rap is probably the stand out whose rhyme style is still relevant today. With that said, G Rap has no business being in this song - lol.
For those of you who don't know, they were showing their versatility and ability to spit the lyrics without profanity and still bring it to the fullest.
Mostly, they were showing people who thought rappers only spit profanity to sell records when in fact they were more talented than that. Pretty much telling censorship they can rap how ever they want.
"Notice how clean we kept every verse, but if worse came to worse we'd have all said a curse." This might be the best collaboration of rappers ever!!!!
Wish I could hear this again for the first time. I've heard it a thousand times and still LOVE it. IMHO the greatest talent on a collaboration ever... and they came through. Only thing that could have made it better was adding Rakim.
Checkout the "Symphony" then "Self destruction" then Westcoest did their version titled ".ll in the seme geng" just uh few ref. more like this out in the 90's. (got sticky keys).
Natan Gurfinkel , “ In school they never taught about hamburgers or steak Elijah Muhammad or the welfare state But I know , And I know because of KRS-1 Because he’s droppin, droppin science Droppin history with a whole leap of style and intelligence Yes, I know I know because of KRS-ONE Because we don’t want to pay money to hear the same old sounds Watch him he’ll take hip hop to a higher ground And I know because of KRS-ONE”. Bradley James Nowell
erock755 concept, message funky ness and lyrics are all still here. there’s talent in every generation you just gotta go beyond the surface level of mainstream rap today
This song was criminally underrated, the greatest lyricists in history all together on one dope ass track... all that was missing was Rakim, Dres, KRS, and LL
So glad this showed up on my feed! 10/10/19 I was smiling the whole time watching! One of my favorite songs! Tears in my eyes because I miss Heavy D so much! 😢 Just mentioned him other day. Him & Guru. Miss them. May they rest in peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑💘💘
Wow. Ironically that date is my birthday. I love all these dudes that were in this video since day one and I don't remember ever hearing this song before. Strike for me. Now I'm going to be bugging out about the coincidence with these numbers. Been seeing them too many times. I don't expect you to understand my crazy thoughts but I'm just saying. Blessings 🙏
I was born in 75 best times for music in every genre growing up... These youngins will never know what it was like listening to Dj Red Alert and all the other Djs in the 80s.
Dang. I forgot how stacked this song was. Heav, Kane, CL, Puba, G Rap, Tip...all first ballot hall of famers. This joint is def in the running for top 5 colab cut
This song and album and time even reminds me of being so hopeful for the future. Look at the now. Witness how progress goes ignored and who are they aiming at? R.i.p. heavy d, trouble t roy.
This is classic! As we all know, hip-hop today will never compare to the talent of old school hip-hop artists. I haven't heard this song in years. I played this video repeatedly! RIP Heavy-D luv u man! Peace to Big Daddy Kane, Kool-G-Rap , Pete Roc and CL-Smooth, Grand Puba, and Q-Tip. They all spit verse after verse and they didn't have to curse. Insane!!!!!!!!
As a 50 plus year old, I do appreciate the Hip Hop of today. But the old stuff really puts a smile on my face. It seems like they had so much fun back then and were lyrically superior.
That's because they can't find there own individuality. Always have to outdo one another and show "I'm better than you" with everything. There should be no competition, no shootings, no hating. But then again, I know who creates, feed, ignite and controls all of this behavior. No positive focus whatsoever🙁
R.I.P Heavy D, I grew up on your music in the 80's here in the U.K, never forget!! Also Mention Grand Puba Masters of Ceremony. They were a dope group way back in 87-88!
Pete Rock's flow is ALWAYS so damn smooth. CL kills this track too. These 2 fellas' 'I Reminisce Over You T.R.O.Y.' changed my life in 1992...test that song was THAT good.
REST IN PARADISE HEAVY D
@nothing last forever +qqq

@nothing last forever p
We won't see ANYTHING even remotely like this in this generation
Well said. Now this is real RAP.
We won't see anything even remotely like this ever again.
D Rob not even close. That's why these kids nowadays are so messed up, cause the garbage they are hearing now.
Nah bro you got it all wrong go listen to NF
Nooowaaay
Kool G Rap is the man
whiteboynigg
Preach!
Everyone is the man here,can’t select who had the beat flow! I listened to this song on auto play for a whole day on a flight from Abuja to London!!!
Say it again brother
Yes, he was.no doubt.also puba maxwell.
Tough competition on this track but G Rap killed it
It’s crazy how Heavy D has been forgotten, during his reign he was the biggest artist in the game and had it on its back for years
Hes not forgotten by me RIP Heavy
@@khemneteru814 I strongly agree with you!! Heav has stayed in my heavy rotation since 'The Overweight Lover's in the House'😊
@@shamondavis406R I P Heavy D & T Roy

Nobody that was into this genre forgets Heavy❤
Totally underrated collab. And Kane's flow is the epitome of smooth.
Him or puba had the best verse but that damn purple outfit is hideous
Yessss indeed
Kane whole was dissing the dudes who robbed him if I'm not mistaken.🤔
Kool G
QTip Murked This!!!
For those of you who don't know, they were showing their versatility and ability to spit the lyrics without profanity and still bring it to the fullest.
Yea west coast road west west coast

Respect!
I miss these days. Originality was everywhere.
Right nowadays it’s different and I know I wasn’t around back then but still I gotta say what I gotta say rap music today ain’t what it used to be
"Notice how clean we kept every verse, but if worse came to worse we'd have all said a curse." This might be the best collaboration of rappers ever!!!!
I read this as soon as he said this
Ever?
I might have to Agree
CL smooth so underrated!!
CL Smooth didn’t cuss him Heavy didn’t cuss in their music
Can’t believe this is my first time hearing this gotta love the internet
Welcome to the Golden era of rap and hip hop. Enjoy your stay. 😊
Did you notice a young P-diddy holding the sign...
@@kennywilliams7142 I had to go back and look. Good observation. I didn't catch that at first. Usually do but not this time.
@@kennywilliams7142 Uptown record's. He worked there for a min.
Wish I could hear this again for the first time. I've heard it a thousand times and still LOVE it. IMHO the greatest talent on a collaboration ever... and they came through. Only thing that could have made it better was adding Rakim.
I am privileged to say I grew up in 80/90's hip hop as a kid. Still love it and great as ever today. Classic Hip Hop.
INVI SIBLE INC no doubt best time to by a kid to me
ASOLUTELY!!!! 🔥🎤👽👑

Damn Skippy!!
Am bless to see hip hop from the very beginning the 70's so i know the feeling and the influence it has.
Love ❤️ and Miss This
This line up is SO legendary

Now that's a great starting 5! Man I love this style. Thank God I grew up in the 80s.
Brought tears to my eyes.
This is RAP at it's finest. Fun and tons of FLAVA!
Real taall
Real talent
@archie bunker Who knew Archie Bunker would like Hip Hop? Lol!
Amen
That's because this HIP HOP!
Do you remember when hip-hop was fun? Amazing times!!
damn Big Daddy Kane was ahead of his time LEGENDARY MC.... Long Live Kane ! Rip Heavy D !
Puba snapped!!
"Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people"
KRS1
Peace, love, unity having fun these are the words of KRS ONE!!
Natan Gurfinkel , “ In school they never taught about hamburgers or steak
Elijah Muhammad or the welfare state
But I know ,
And I know because of KRS-1
Because he’s droppin, droppin science
Droppin history with a whole leap of style and intelligence
Yes, I know
I know because of KRS-ONE
Because we don’t want to pay money to hear the same old sounds
Watch him he’ll take hip hop to a higher ground
And I know because of KRS-ONE”. Bradley James Nowell
Yeah, yeah but '13 and good' though??? Fuck KRS 1 🖕🏾
Fu sho bro. Styles like that are no where to be found my guy. This collab is a teachin moment for the youths if they would only yield their ears.
1. 2. 3....the crew is called BDP..
Stop the violence in hip-hop whyoooooo
RIP. HEAVY D. A SOUL THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. JESUS. LORDS N BREAD FIRST. YO NYC. DON'T CURSE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was when rap was fun and you had a variety of rap!!
Miss those days!!!
And we LIKED it!!
With no autotune
If you think there is no variety in today's hip hop, you need to open your ears. There is plenty of styles outside of the radio shit.
erock755 concept, message funky ness and lyrics are all still here. there’s talent in every generation you just gotta go beyond the surface level of mainstream rap today
Church
Big daddy kane verse is insane he killed it, mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿
one of the best collabs of all time if not the best
Joaquin Gonzalez probably the best.....
YESSIR!!!
Self destruction
All of them snapped on this cut!
This song is so really underrated and legendary man.
My boy g rap bodies everything he gets on
Regularly yeah...but he shares "The Symphony" with Kane.
Not a lot of rappers can pull this off. 🔥💯
Facts
Big Daddy Kane is the coolest.... even with a broken wrist.
wherearetheynowguy He is one of my top three, but that purple. Can't co sign that
wherearetheynowguy He broke it practicing a dance routine with Scoob and Scrap, right?
Purple like Prince....
🔥🎤👽👑
wherearetheynowguy made him look even cooler...like a wounded mob boss...
Who ever doesn’t like this song doesn’t know how elevate classic Heavy D Rest In Rhymes🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Kool and Kane.........................................nuff said
And Puba
Better known as "The Slaughter of a 'Symphony'".
Go listen to them on Symphony
When HIP-HOP was fun and great talent was easy to find and the music never got old...it always stayed fresh.
AND OURS!!!!!!!👍
I can't really say I miss old school funk cause I still listen to them everyday
You and be both. That's all I play EVERYDAY!!!
right on that's all I listen to is old school hip hop this new wack shit is played out
Real talk
Factsssss
It’s me 9 years later
G Rap "cursed" without cursing...that was so clever 😂
Grand Puba first backpacker and fly dude in rap
🙂
Nailed it!
Big facts
THAT'S TRUE...I SEE A LOT OF THESE NEW RAPPERS CARRYING BACKPACKS AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT TRENDS BEEN OUT
So fresh
You had to be there 💪🏾💪🏾
I miss old school hip hop posse cuts.
Michael Prescott, Jr. you aint lyin me too. Cube used this beat better on Nappy Dugout!
@娘壞 i won't go that far but im not sure he deserves his status in the game.
This song was criminally underrated, the greatest lyricists in history all together on one dope ass track... all that was missing was Rakim, Dres, KRS, and LL
Treach, GURU,SLICK RICK...
@@julioferreira4261it's even more surprising that KRS and Treach didn't show up considering they often collabbed
I wish flav and Chuck D pulled up on this one..
RAKIM!

This is what HIP HOP is supposed to be!! LIVE IN SPIRIT ALWAYS DWIGHT!! ✊✊
When rap was still authentic... I will always miss this era of hip-hop!
I’d love to go back to my young body with the knowledge I have now. Miss these days
Damn, Diddy all in the video with that 'Dont Curse' sign.
Who would’ve thought he be where he is now 🤷🏽♂️
Big Daddy is and will always be the best
Dang. I forgot how stacked this song was. Heav, Kane, CL, Puba, G Rap, Tip...all first ballot hall of famers. This joint is def in the running for top 5 colab cut
This is STILL one of my all-time favorite collabs!!! R.I.P. HEAVY D!
This is the RAP. Respect from Korea.
This song and album
and time even reminds me of being so hopeful for the future.
Look at the now.
Witness how progress goes ignored and who are they aiming at?
R.i.p. heavy d, trouble t roy.
The game took a massive hit with the loss of Heavy D. RIP, legend!
Heavy d is the only rapper I know that can make you smile and feel happy when he raps
Just a different time ❤
The best fat Albert sample since D Nice 👍
Woooow super '91 💎
I LOVE how Q Tip opened with the Eddie Murphy line from Raw!!! 👊🏾
This video constantly keeps popping in my recommendations, I must watch!
Puba always had the ill wardrobe!
Big Daddy Kane had my favourite verse. RIP Heavy D.
This is classic! As we all know, hip-hop today will never compare to the talent of old school hip-hop artists. I haven't heard this song in years. I played this video repeatedly! RIP Heavy-D luv u man! Peace to Big Daddy Kane, Kool-G-Rap , Pete Roc and CL-Smooth, Grand Puba, and Q-Tip. They all spit verse after verse and they didn't have to curse. Insane!!!!!!!!
Gosh I LOVE those old school beats!
puffy all up in the video dancing
Puffy is holding the sign that says Don't Curse it
Lmao
LMAO I just caught that, had to check before I commented to see who already said it.
Oh wow, sharp eyes you got. I had to scan the video with my eyes to spot him. I guess Suge Knight knew what he was talking about LOL
Lol
I got nothin but love for all of them especially my homeboy Grand Puba🥰❤️🖤💚
hip hop looked so fun back then so many of my favourite old school artists
Good vibes to reminisce to
Golden eraaa
Wow. What a fantastic vibe and flow, everyone involved in this must be still buzzing hearing this, rip HD 💯

Grand Puba, the CREATOR of the backpack movement!
Now that's how it's done. A true classic
Rocking the Tommy Hill Rugby shirts!
cl smooth ! and the Kane . Q-Tip . did his thing .
Legends 💎💎
I was born in 95 I've always enjoyed the sound of 80s rap. First time hearing 'scratching' of the vinyl got me hooked. 🇦🇺
i would sign up to do this in a heartbeat with my peers this is forever dope!
If the Unsung Episode about Heavy D and The Boyz brought you here, WELCOME. Heavy D and the Boyz was one of a kind. R.I.P Heavy, and T-Roy!!
90’s hip hop the best era
Heavy D smooth AF! Back when rappers were lyrical!
2024 and this classic will never get old. RIP Hev. One of the best to ever do it!
As a 50 plus year old, I do appreciate the Hip Hop of today. But the old stuff really puts a smile on my face. It seems like they had so much fun back then and were lyrically superior.
Happy birthday heavy D 🥳🥳❤❤❤.
Continue to rest in peace!!!
They all got a completely different style/energy..and it's all fire..not like today. Everyone sounds the same.. dress the same..etc.
Its a shame that everyone tries to sound the same. No flavor.
That's because they can't find there own individuality. Always have to outdo one another and show "I'm better than you" with everything. There should be no competition, no shootings, no hating. But then again, I know who creates, feed, ignite and controls all of this behavior. No positive focus whatsoever🙁
Str8 garbage!
@@misspickyjudgemental1777 I COULD NOT HAVE SAID THIS ANY BETTER MY SELF.
Grand puba, cl smooth, Pete rock and Qtip are my favorites
Back when dope emcees did collaborations this video made me smile😊💯
Monstrueux...🥶🔥 trop de souvenirs 😊
Grand Puba aii aii aii 🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶🥶
Straight to the point...Don't Curse! That man u can listen to in your mamas presence.
Dont know why, but when Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane starts, its like something from outer space with superior Skills and Flow begin
Damn check out the style and swagger, lovin it!
So eine super Musik tolle Künstler. RIP Heavy, light and love from Austria
"I'mma let profanity retire but if worse comes to worse I'll curse you out like Richard Pryor"
so so dope
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is rap phenomenality at its best. There will never be another track like this on this planet.
Thats it man , this was hip hop !
Grand Puba was always looking dapper man.Grand Puba is one of the most underrated M.C.s my friend.
This here Heavy - D , Don't curse vs Marley marl , the symphony , classic rap music in the house .
One of my favorite classic videos of all time and actually....... they didn't curse !!
This took me back to my early Jr. High days. Hip Hop at it's finest!!
RIP Trouble T-Roy and the Heavster.
Heavy D looked like he had fun in this video, R. I. P
Monster of a track :)
Great posse cut
