@@Nick_brinks04Busta Rhymes was rapping in the 80's and started the group 'Leaders of the New School' in 1989. He's still going hard in the 2020's, so that's hittin 5 decades.
Who remembers that bug that video give me some more that s*** is still crazy to this day the way it starts off with a psycho intro and he's still making bangers to this day or the Mariah Carey one it was smooth but it was good cuz even she said it was awesome😎🤔💯
Agreed. Something happened between about 91 and 94. It's like the entire game changed overnight. Yeah, I know there are conspiracy theories, but whatever the case, it changed really fast. All of a sudden you couldn't have music like this be mainstream anymore. I don't know exactly what happened, but whatever it is seems to have permanently made hip hop less than what it could have been.
This song was the emergence of Busta Rhymes. He totally blew up after his line on this song. That "Roar, roar like a dungeon dragon" was the most imitated line after this and what everyone talked about.
I make things for the Dungeons and Dragons game and lost my shit. I love Busta. I had their "Can I kick it" song stuck in my head, had the tape stuck in one of my crappy cars like 25 years ago. The next on RUclips was this one. One hell of a cameo. Dinco D was good too. Made my day.
Not even close. Black Moon - 'who the props?' Rappers in backpacks and hoodies? Check. A posse in the background looking too eagar? Check. Shout outs in the outro? Check. If it had kids in army suits it would of been off the scale for 90s east coast references
That's true. Imitation of something good is often nice, but will never be the same. Because the originals weren't imitating anything, they were inventing.
@@goodmanfilife9131 Very true, but that's a crew. Even Hit Squad's headbanger was dope, but that was a crew. These were two separate camps who happened to mesh well and put out a hella good song. Even Tribe and Brand Nubian's track together was hella tight. But It was something about this track and video that both felt like magic at the time. This is all my opinion of course.
I'm 50 years old and this was the first song that I knew every word to in High School back in the day. This song is still a banger... I have 2 sons now ages 20 and 18 and they grew up to me listening to this Tribe, Wu Tang and Busta. They are now sharing it with their generation. It's coming back full circle, kinda like bell bottoms!
I am 43 and when ATCQ came out I was a white, metal loving punk kid. They are one of only a handful of groups that got me to appreciate and love hip hop and The Low End Theory is in my top 10 albums of all times. I was happy to see ATCQ in concert in the 90's. RIP Phife Dawg.
I've heard from so many metal heads on these videos, and really i shouldn't surprised. As a Philly guy who grew up with no white friends, I was shocked when I got to college and discovered suburban white kids grew up liking rap and could recite lyrics. Much love for showing mad respect to one of the icons of rap.
We listened to metal and real hip hop like this when I was in my high school years. This album wasn’t my first hip hop album but it was extremely influential.
I'm a mixed dude (half North African and white and look Puerto Rican/Hispanic) and grew up poor in the hoods of DC/Maryland. I naturally was around lots of Hip Hop in the 90's but once Nirvana's Nevermind came out I got into Rock then into punk rock, heavy metal, GO GO (DC music!), Blues, Jazz and for Country some Johnny Ca$h. As long as the music sounds good I like it whether it's popular or not. I grew my hair out long, wore my favorite rock band t shirts and also naturally had an Urban ebonic talking side to me while not sounding overly Urban to the point of not being able to understand what the hell I was saying 😂 I also love Hardcore music like Madball, Agnostic Front, Cro Mags, Bad Brains (are considered punk rock, reggae and Hardcore which is what made them so special other than the fact they were 4 black dudes from DC that wore long dreadlocks like Rastafarians but played some of the most manic and aggressive punk rock you could ever hear back in the 80's!).
Everybody on that track was spittin fire. Couldn't come half ass on the track with Tribe and Leaders. This was definitely golden age of hip hop. No whackness got played....
I appreciate these artists so much more as an adult....in my youth gangsta rap was everything, and the "alternative rap" was an afterthought...Every rap song talked about "my nine" and "smokin a fool"...wich is fine, i still love gangsta rap...but seeing the devastation of violence in the streets makes me appreciate that these men tried to go a different route with their lyrics! Think about it...most of them KNEW they werent gonna make crazy money if they werent doin gangsta rap..yet they chose to do conscious music anyways. Respect to the whole genre
That's a plus Cuz! I think about it as you laid that out - with NWA, Eazy, Too Short, E-40, Spice One, Compton's Most Wanted, Cube - it went on and on. Then you had Illegal, EPMD, DMX, Naughty By Nature, Eric B and Rakim, LL, D-Nice, and others like BlackMoon, Gangstarr, Jay Z and Nas, AZ and your girl Foxy, it went on and on from Gangsta Bangin, to Underground, Hip Hop Hardcore... then there was Public Enemy and Kane. But the Native Tongues??? That was Heaven! They were a sanctuary! They, along with Christian artists like Kirk Franklin, BeBe and CeCe Winans, even some R&B Artists - they balanced the Street Digest of Gutta Reality. GOD I miss them all! Every one of them! The Jungle Brothers, Leaders of a New School, Tribe, Queen Latifa, Moni Love, Digable Planets, Common, Phacyde! STREETBEEFS... THAT WAS HIP HOP!!!
Not Old School. This is like third gen Rap. You had Sugarhill, Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Grandmaster Flash + as real original old school, then RUN DMC, Schoolly D, etc as "New School," then you had this, which is "Golden Era" ca. 1987 (starting roughly with My Melody, IMO) up to about 1997 (Blahzay Blahzay, IMO) after which you get into Gangsta Rap which I never cared for. Definitely some arguments where the borders are but that's the basics.
This song is over 30 years old. I remember when I was just a kid and ease dropped to my older brother playing this cassette. Constant high energy and lyrical bravado. Busta had a cadence I had never heard and Tip had the coolest voice. This is when I fell in love with hip hop.
Gotta be one of the best ever hip-hop videos. Every rapper featured 'on-point', but 'Buster Rhymes' simply 'Kills It'. R.I.P. Phife Dawg', still sorely missed.
+Lil Rob AkA Robert It's been about hoes guns and drugs even in the golden age. Biggie did it. Pac did it. Quest did it. Mobb Deep did it. Pete Rock even did it at times. Plus currently, we have had great rappers, in many different ways, both dead and alive. Big Pun? Kendrick? Vince Staples? RTJ? That's just to name a few from the past 16 years that are more well known, there are plenty of other less known artists, even ones that aren't fully underground .
It had it's share of problems, but human brain is built so that it tends to forget all the negative things. For example, in the 90's the world suffered its worst depression. Many people lost their jobs, their homes and their marriages. People were involved in debts and suicide rates were at all time high. Crime waves sweeped accross the world. There were several genocides committed all around the world. Bullyting wasn't a regognized problem yet in schools or in work places. Women (and men) got sexually harassed on a daily basis. Gays/trans etc. were still treated as a sickness and AIDS killed you within a year or max two.
@@Sc0pee Nah... nothing you mention is unique to the 90's -- *that's just the cruel world we live in every decade, and nearly all of that is far worse today.* The 90's was the greatest time to be alive for many people, myself included. Regardless, when someone looks upon any period of time fondly, try not to rob them of that. Some people falling on hard times right now need all the positive memories they can get.
If you were blessed to be alive when this collaboration happened you are one of the lucky ones! Everyone was so hyped up by this song!! Classics and legends never die!!
Not only was i around when this came out, i got to see Tribe with De la Soul and Souls of Mischief for $10 in a small 250 person venue in Lincoln Ne, in 1993 i think it was. Maybe 94...yeah, Im old... 🤔✌
Lol why if Nikki was such an amazing artist as people go out to say she is, she wouldn't need to sample......a lot of people don't know that the "rawr rawr like dungeon Dragon " comes from this song and unfortunately those sucky people give credits do quote to Nikki and not to busta was the genius artist behind it.
The creativity of this music video was a whole new level. The edits, the flow, the timing of it all. 👌 would give multiple likes if I could tbh. So I flood this track with views.
@@peteyesco True. He was Tribe's primary video director back in the day, responsible for Can I Kick It, Check the Rhime, and Jazz (We've Got)/Buggin' Out videos.
I can't believe ATCQ never got inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. They were one of the artists that introduced me to hip hop. They deserve to be nominated, but never got enough votes. They need more attention as amazing hip hop artists.
WTF would a Black rap group give a rats ass about some white label!!! That's the problem with the music industry worried about those that make the music!! 🙄
AND one of VERY FEW artists who got five mics on TWO albums in the Source - when that actually MEANT SOMETHING SERIOUS. It meant you were dope AS F%CK!
When people ask me if I like rap I play this and say, "not anymore". I realize music has to evolve but you want that evolution to get better. Maybe when you start here there's no place to go but down
This was Busta Rhymes' coming out party. It almost seems predestined the way Q-Tip rolled out the red carpet for him by setting him up for the last verse... "So here's Busta Rhymes with the scenario." Then he proceeds to rip it, delivering the verse and a style that catapulted him to superstardom.
Just been watching hip hop evolution on Netflix and either tip or busta said that it was planned for busta to be the last verse exactly like you’ve said, maaaad
This video came out in 1991. I was 15 and had to buy this album. 31 years later, September 2022 and Coast Contra's Scenario Freestyle brought me back to reminiss about how amazing both groups are. But damn do I miss the old days!
I really don't understand how Busta isn't ever mentioned in the GOAT status. Man has been consistently high level from early 90s. So underrated it's crazy
@@peachulemon You can get with this, or you can get with that You can get with this, or you can get with that You can get with this, or you can get with that I think you'll get with this, for this is where it's at You can get with this, or you can get with that
Nothing stopping you from wearing or listening to whatever you want though. It's certainly a lot easier to get music now than it was back in the 90s :)
R.I.P Phife Dawg.. Shout out to L.O.N.S for putting Uniondale on the map. This is the foundation of Hip-Hop music. This was one the hottest collabos ever recorded. Busta has always been a beast! He killed this track... Pay homage..
Real shit, my moms asked the school to give me an advanced placement test cause I wrote down Busta’s whole verse in my notebook at 5 years old. This record was and always will be the shit
When Q-Tip says “here’s Busta Rhymes with the Scenario” you know something good is about to happen
Leaders of the new school BUSTA
Bonjour
So young too
So many similarities between him and ODB. Both great rappers.
It was bound to happen they say when it was recorded he didn’t let anyone here his verse until he went in the booth
"I'll bust in ur eye so you can see where I come from"..... That killed
"Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from."
It did
Best bar in rap history
okay i thought i was the only one that heard that....... i had to say pause for him just for that verse....
ollie cribb gayest bar in rap history*
Busta Rhymes has rapped in 5 different decades. Only a handful of others can claim that with him and they're all legendary to the culture.
He is the GOAT
@@Nick_brinks04Busta Rhymes was rapping in the 80's and started the group 'Leaders of the New School' in 1989. He's still going hard in the 2020's, so that's hittin 5 decades.
I got dreadlocks in 92 after watching The Sobb Story. Busta's dreads were exactly what I wanted.
Who remembers that bug that video give me some more that s*** is still crazy to this day the way it starts off with a psycho intro and he's still making bangers to this day or the Mariah Carey one it was smooth but it was good cuz even she said it was awesome😎🤔💯
And Q-Tip is part of those legends!😉
This is what hip hop was supposed to be. Fun, conscious. Skillful and a display of talent
Agreed
Man this is the song that introduced most of us to Busta. Needless to say we were all instantly blown away.

I think it's k-solo. It's trippy but he looked just like Redman, was in the same crew but wasn't related
@@emanijudah6985 he does!
but I’m pretty sure it’s redman lol
If you were blessed to be alive when this collaboration happened you are one of the lucky ones! Everyone was so hyped up by this song!! Classics and legends never die!!
I was way late to the party, but I'm so glad I'm finding it now
Not only was i around when this came out, i got to see Tribe with De la Soul and Souls of Mischief for $10 in a small 250 person venue in Lincoln Ne, in 1993 i think it was. Maybe 94...yeah, Im old... 🤔✌
Grew up hearing this blasting from boom boxes, cars, the court, or walking by houses in my neighborhood.
FACTS💯
Word! ...and then.....the remix hit!🤯🤯
"RAWR! RAWR! Like a dungeon dragon!"
Busta is a damn fool. Gotta love this dude. : )
Love retro Busta Bust....and the fact that that Nicolas Miraj stole that lyric in "Roman's Revenge" just ain't cool.
Danielle Afreh I don't think it was stealing, more of an homage. By that logic Tribe completely ripped off Lou Reed on Can I Kick It.
Lol why if Nikki was such an amazing artist as people go out to say she is, she wouldn't need to sample......a lot of people don't know that the "rawr rawr like dungeon Dragon " comes from this song and unfortunately those sucky people give credits do quote to Nikki and not to busta was the genius artist behind it.
dominic123owns You realize this song samples 2 songs right?
Raphael Nelson He off the chain.
Man Busta had the best verse on this track. He straight killed it
The creativity of this music video was a whole new level. The edits, the flow, the timing of it all. 👌 would give multiple likes if I could tbh. So I flood this track with views.
This music video would be normal in 2010 and it was 1990s a full 2 decades early
No , the editor was just spamming all the newly engineered animations system , but it was pretty amazing
Spike Lee made this video
@@171TITO Often cited as his, but its not. Directed by Jim Swaffield.
@@peteyesco True. He was Tribe's primary video director back in the day, responsible for Can I Kick It, Check the Rhime, and Jazz (We've Got)/Buggin' Out videos.
1:08 redman crackin me tf up 😂😂
Before he hooked up with Method Man
@sisuphos 1990 is when the vid was shot.
@@craigharris41 Damn, so this was before he even got his record deal. No afro and all.
@@11e1cess3 yeh but folks new about him. He used to open for Leaders of the New School. He may be on the International Zone Coaster
If only he had a verse on this
Busta Rhymes was lit! His verse still holds up. Amazing
The whole group is super talented
3:10 Tip couldn't keep a straight face! LOL!
I peeped the same shit
It’s impossible to not react to that insane flow and bars
I can't believe ATCQ never got inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. They were one of the artists that introduced me to hip hop. They deserve to be nominated, but never got enough votes. They need more attention as amazing hip hop artists.
WTF would a Black rap group give a rats ass about some white label!!! That's the problem with the music industry worried about those that make the music!! 🙄
true
AND one of VERY FEW artists who got five mics on TWO albums in the Source - when that actually MEANT SOMETHING SERIOUS. It meant you were dope AS F%CK!
hopefully next year.
@@sambanelly25 yeah
This joint was groundbreaking. One of the greatest joints of all time
When people ask me if I like rap I play this and say, "not anymore". I realize music has to evolve but you want that evolution to get better. Maybe when you start here there's no place to go but down
The beat to this song is iconic
awesome Cool good Listen wow powerful best music spoke word flow the beat this song Good history hip-hop
You should listen to EdEddnEddy by J.I.D. he sampled this beat
Joey Bada$$ did as well in
No. 99
this video was waaaaaaaay ahead of it's time.
Agreed
Favorite line at 1:05-
Sit back relax and let yourself go
Don’t sweat what ya heard, but act like you know
For real thanks for that brother
My favorite line is "I'll b*st a n*t in your eye to show you where I come from"
@@sumnsumn2145 lmao, Jordan over here is talking about how meaningful and eye-opening that line was, and you come here and say that line😂 funny tho
The imagry in this video so retro YET futuristic...
Take that....young generations. Real hip hop.
Gay
rodrigo villanueva Supposed to be joke lame nigga.
gamecollect101 lol chill. I'm trolling. New hip hop is cool tho
rodrigo villanueva Definitely bro, there's a few new generation tracks I like but nothing like the 80s & 90s. :)
gamecollect101 There's many special things about hip hop in the old days. Just like present days. How old are you friend?
Rest in peace Phife Dawg! Man, gone too soon
What's amazing about this song is how the beat's momentum builds stronger as each MC proceeds to rhyme
it's just fucking awesome
I was 16 when this came out and it was awesome. The early 90s was quite a time.
This was Busta Rhymes' coming out party. It almost seems predestined the way Q-Tip rolled out the red carpet for him by setting him up for the last verse... "So here's Busta Rhymes with the scenario." Then he proceeds to rip it, delivering the verse and a style that catapulted him to superstardom.
Totally agreed. If the straw that broken the camel back with LOTNS was then before then it's was broken after busta showstealing verse
Just been watching hip hop evolution on Netflix and either tip or busta said that it was planned for busta to be the last verse exactly like you’ve said, maaaad
Nice
Facts... this took to a member of the LONS to Busta!!!
3:50 - Had me dying 🤣
He pretty much said f*k the lyrics.
This video came out in 1991. I was 15 and had to buy this album.
31 years later, September 2022 and Coast Contra's Scenario Freestyle brought me back to reminiss about how amazing both groups are.
But damn do I miss the old days!
Same dude 👍
coast contra are awesome and so were atcq back then 💯
I really don't understand how Busta isn't ever mentioned in the GOAT status. Man has been consistently high level from early 90s. So underrated it's crazy
Its true he is severely underrated Master level MC for sure.
this song made me consider Busta in the goat Catagory. he came in with striaght fire, the beat was perfect for his flow.

+Fuck the new rap!! indeed

Busta looking at the camera at 4:02. He knows what he did to this track.
Nice observation
Yesssss!
Busta definitely murdered this track.
😂 word!
Lmaoo
The fact Barbs think Nicki came up with “Rawr Rawr like a dungeon dragon” 😂😂
Champion sweatshirts, Starter caps, timberland boots...oh the 90's were so dope
Jake B I wear all that except the starter caps.
Starter Jackets were the shit back then
Yea I’m 17 and everyone is bringing it back I love the 90s if only I were born in that time 😭
@@nolimitray4688 straight up im 15
Nothing stopping you from wearing or listening to whatever you want though. It's certainly a lot easier to get music now than it was back in the 90s :)
Busta, Dinco D, Phife Dog and Q Tip are awesome. I talked to them as a teenager and were complete gentlemen. Such great music.
Yup i met them too tribe and busta when i was a teenager
How did that conversation go
Always have to be a groupie somewhere
@@thdoom81 It's crazy you that bitter man.
@@thdoom81 grow tf up
3:50 This is my favorite part of any hip hop/ rap song, ever. Just like that.
Just Boom Bap vibe
Too many goats 🐐
That's the way you start off a posse cut.... RIP Phife
R.I.P Phife Dawg.. Shout out to L.O.N.S for putting Uniondale on the map. This is the foundation of Hip-Hop music. This was one the hottest collabos ever recorded. Busta has always been a beast! He killed this track... Pay homage..
Young Busta was still killing it. Man I miss this era of hip hop.
Rock n Roll Hall of Fame 2024 🎉
Real shit, my moms asked the school to give me an advanced placement test cause I wrote down Busta’s whole verse in my notebook at 5 years old. This record was and always will be the shit
you’re a fucking legend for that bruh. and i do not use that word lightly
@@pradabears lol I appreciate that, fam ✊🏾
Dang, thats impressive! I barely even knew 10 words from this song at age 11 at around 4 years ago. You’re a real one!
@@vintager3333 or farning likes
@@vintager3333 It's also not true, either!
Busta killin it like always. One of the most underrated rappers ever
?????????????underrated???????????????
Vocabularys necessary when digging into my library🔥🔥🔥
The young Busta Rhymes is something different than old Busta Rhymes
(Got to love both thought)
He lost his neck
@@JamonCocid0 lmao
@@JamonCocid0 man he didn't listen to wu tang
@@geneparmesan8087 lol
Old busta is also the young busta
Brown's verse is the most catchy one to join in with, love that!... especially when he says
'Who's that!...BROOOWN!' 😅
V-O-C-A-B-U-L-A-R-Y is necessary, words couldn’t be more true in hip hop!
Truth. ✌🏾

@@elsteve43 uh uh uh, all over the track man, uh pardon me uh, as I come back.
Q-Tip the legend. Masterful handoff to Busta and at the end trying to keep the crew from boiling over. RIP Phife.
I almost cried listening to this again. Real music made with passion.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
What a time to be alive
Rest In Paradise Phife Dawg!
Wow. I hadn't heard. Now I'm depressed.
RIP Phife dawg
My favorite verse in the song RIP Phife
The best hip hop posse cut of all time. RIP Phife
GREATEST... POSSE... CUT... EVER!!!
Still makes me lose my mind and start East Coast Stomping like a lunatic when it drops.
