Not at all. Met the dude in Amsterdam 10 years ago. At the time he told me ppl only knew him as Eminem's tour DJ. He's had to keep pushing & getting better to finally get the respect due.
Man, video uploaded 17 years ago. I’m laying in bed at 2:51am west coast time. Just reminiscing. I’m 33, as the song started my body was overflowing with a nostalgic feeling. I can close my eyes and go back in time. I love music
***** jay Z's song was superior... "Soon You'll Understand" is moving, this is dope, but more so because of the 'hold u down" running throughout and the Nina Sky assist... Lyrically I would never put them in the same sentence. This is a producer/MC song, so never think that the beat isn't the star of the show
This is the compilation of a good day.. eat a good meal with the homies, get a fresh fade, cop a few pairs of new kicks, go CD shopping, get some icy jewels.. forever wishing time stood still in the early 2000’s.. some of the best hip-hop came out around this time... R.I.P. PRODIGY
I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG AFTER SO LONG. I’ve been trying to find this song for like 8 years, from when my dad and tios would play it in the car. The beat was the only thing I could remember because it was so chilling and haunting to me as a kid. I’m so fxcking glad I found it, it feels like I’ve lifted a long time thing off my mental lol. It somehow holds some nostalgia tho, because it was one of the first tracks that had an instrumental that really hit me and made me feel some sort of way. I’m so stupid for not thinking it would be an alchemist track tho, because my dad and tios are big fans of him. I can finally feel at ease with that little memory I had.
Salute to Prodigy. Doesn't get enough credit. Always came through with the dope grimy verses, but he really put his soul on this in the early 2000s. #RipProdigy #MobbDeep
Woooww blast from the past. Nina Sky reminds me of those Latin mamis from the late 90s and early 2000s 🔥🔥🔥 the time of the throwbacks and fitteds. Alchemist is a monster!
They still have new music! Look up curtain call, on some bullshit, clothes off, and no passion from them just to name a few lol. They bump still. I saw them perform at a club in Miami in February and it was such a vibe !!!
Was in 3rd grade when this came out. Remember listening to this after school on one of them countdown shows. Great, simpler times. Miss them. RIP Prodigy
alchemist has always lived and breathed pure hip-hop and it’s so awesome to see him being such a focal point of my personal favorite new wave of hip hop with griselda, earl, navy blue, etc.
Yeah, that way, ALC can take more chances. A lot of producers would love to have that kind of freedom...as opposed to being in the pocket of the major labels constantly controlling what you should and shouldn't do.
It's really sad when real Hip-Hop like this doesn't get play down South. I'm from Tennessee and this is track here is timeless hot fire! We need more like this on radio stations no matter the regions we live in. Forget about what sells start playing tracks like these with great flow and dope beats. Maybe it took me getting in my late 20s to truly appreciate great music such as this. Much love and respect to Alchemist and all who helped put this out! Thanks to my wifey from Queens for holding me down and sharing with me this real! HIP-HOP FOREVER ALL THAT OTHER BULLSH*T IS HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW!!!
@@nbaoscarrnba unfortunately that’s true. I’m a southern boy but I grew up listening to east coast music. I love it when other southerners know about music like this.
I graduate in 2005 in high school this song was hitting hard, in everyone car speakers good times, 2024 and still listen to this 🔥 this rap music was no joke, like todays rap.
Still bumpin this on the reg in 2019. Alchemist is seriously one of the dopest producers and his brotha is a dope MC. #straightgas #realdealhiphop #ripprodigy
I was at Larry June’s set last night at Rolling Loud Los Angeles 2023 and he brought out one of my favorite producers, The Alchemist! Then they played this song together which led me right here. As a young guy yes I do like the new trap and mumble rap sound, but this is real hip hop. The stuff I really grew up on! Blessed🙏
cant tell you how lucky you were to grow up in that era man it sucks having to constantly hear that new shit they call hip hop on the radio has 0 soul to it
@@legrainproduction2760 fr these guys oldhead hating ass gatekeepers. trying to feel superior to the youth but i know these guys were bumping chingy but now they act like all they music was better
@@trapez77 in the context of the song being called "hold you down" and the multiple lines where the sample finishes a bar it is implied. That's what a lot of the greatest producers back then were doin like Dilla. Flipping a sample to make it sound like something else in context.
Im sure I'm not the only one who feels this...... This music or better yet this era of music and these times were truly golden. I was a late teenager when some of the greatest hits and artists of hiphop existed. The nostalgia runs so deep. I am now 32 years old and I can't even explain what I would give to go back to these days, where music brought people together and you'd meet your significant other through physical interaction and proper communication. But I think the most painful part of listening to old school music is that.........these days will NEVER come back and there is no rewind nor reply button to our lives. So to all of us that lived the best times of your lives during this era. Cheers and God bless!
I'll always vibe to this song cause when it came out I was 12 and had just started listening to hip hop on a regular basis. Naturally my Nigerian father had an aversion to that and told me to stop listening to hip hop. But you can't really enforce that cause whenever he left I would put on the TV and indulge. But one day he came home and caught me listening to this on 106 and Park and said I thought I told you to stop listening to this music and so forth but at the end we came to an agreement and I've been a hip hop head since.
The fact this man is from Beverly Hills, CA, Jewish and made this 20 years ago, and 20 years later made Meet The Grahams!? One of the greatest to ever do it!!! I’m old enough that I was VERY outside when this dropped, and I grew up in Jersey, so it the cities like crack did!
dude, i know. i just searched hold you down & was sad to see this with only 3m & dj khaled's hold you down with 200m. rappers nowadays ARE NOT artists, theyre celebrities
Yea this is some GOOD shit. Beat incredible, flow remarkable. Feels so hard yet melodic, insanely tight alternation of the lyrical flow with that ("hold you down") sample.

Yeah she was holding you down in 2004.
