93 till infinity, never no more, this beaut. These guys were ahead of their time. I remember seeing tribe, and souls in Ottawa with a whopping 200 people in the crowd. Best concert I have seen, and I've been to a lot of hip hop shows. Young kids if your reading this you are picking the right music. No mumble, no auto tuned. Real hip hop.
Me too. I listened to all the mainstream 90s classics OutKast, bone thugs, wu tang, pac, biggie etc. but when I heard this it put me on to a whole scene I didn’t know was out there
thank you so much for keeping this song alive. I can't find it anywhere else. I remember skating the streets with a friend no longer with us to this song back in the day and I constantly listen to this song on your channel and think of him. thank you.
Yo, the jam was fly, oh my now it's over My batch of pals cut so Tajai must catch a Taxicab, dag nab why'd they leave me Stuck in the late night alley, Cali's Not so hot that everyone should be sweating Yet nobody's smiling plus crews are piling Staring, thinking what they'd look like wearing My gear, I sighed when the yellow cab neared He sped up cos dreads made him think I'd vic him Now I gotta dodge thugs like I'm playing chicken An Englishman, an Irishman Five or ten Caucasians passed me in their taxis Oh no such luck I'm gonna get bucked for my apparel As I seen the black gauge barrel Just then a fat cab came to my rescue Damn I'm glad black men drive them cabs too It seems nowadays cab rides are rather pricely Especially when the driver goes for self In spite of the directions that are given They are driven to cruise backstreets That treats them to a pricely fare, exactly What happened to myself when I chose to call a taxi It pulled up to the curb and I hopped into the backseat Gave him the destination, said he'd never heard of the place And I'd have to tell him as we went along, and then placed it in drive When I said make a left he made a right Alright, I get it, you wanna make some slight Detours so you can be sure that you get yours And when I turn my head you up the bill a little more I told the cabbie to stop, he didn't think I watched it Fake reached into my pocket and then jetted like I was Rocket Ismail his tail light was broken as a token of appreciation He started chasing but I smoked him [Phesto] What? You can't escape me Mop head, drop dead, deceased Say your final summons if I catch you Bet you regret you ever ditched me Driving, conniving Guys been robbing me lately He went up Blake Street But I'm following, swallowing up steps He ran to the left, I made a left and crashed Into a rose bush, my nose crushed on impact But yo, I'll get him back I didn't have enough for a car, what a bummer I had to get a job driving taxis last summer All the other drivers knew that my car was spectacular Cause I had a tight, very bright yellow Acura Piling in 9 or 10 skins at a time, G Funny how the honeys with the money always find me Paying their green to see what color my house is Feeling like Del cause they would sleep on my couches I'd charge senior citizens extra, cause they never mention I'd take all the money from they pension And I'd drive a blind man around for a while Even if he only had to travel just a mile, with a smile And don't let your dog off the leash Cause if he stepped then I would have to squash the beast And if you didn't have the right change, don't even ask me Or I would have ran your ass down with my taxi
That sound at the beginning. I had a lot of tapes with that sound. Not sure why it used to happen but its the sound of taking the pause off the record button on a double cassette deck. I think there was a record buffer.
And you thought Mardi Gras was the Bob James joint. WRONG! Souls fa-lipped it on this jizoint! What a stone cold classic. I heard Bob James retired from music when he heard this and phoned Phesto's mom and said he was on her bozack til infinity. He called 93 times. 93 times homie! That's what 93 til infinity is about. Listen to the lyrics.
I feel so alone being 24 and listening to these tunes in the UK 2019. Everyone listens to pure shite and apparently this is not music. I even heard a song where this beat has been completely ripped off. It makes me so sad. I don't want to see the de-evolution of music anymore.
Listening to this in 2016. When Hip Hop was still good and you could tell what they were saying. Now it's all mumbling about being up in the club and other meaningless crap and the backtrack has to make up for the shitty artist's mumbling.
So much better than anything on the radio... that is the hypocrisy of music. The good shit can only be found underground.
Makes you angry at the world doesn't it?
Alex Johnson yep, always
I am grateful it isn't on the radio with all the garbage on there.
When I play Herio/Del at work everyone looks at Me like I'm crazy not listening to their garbage.

This is the song that got me into rap music. Even before MF Doom. This song changed my life.

Sweet, good music, why are you taking a left?
Souls classic. Legends. Such a soulful beat with awesome lyricism, and great storytelling. The beat makes me feel emotional.
Did you hear the original?

"Feelin' like Del cause they would sleep on my couches"
Found this hidden gem back in 2009 I still come back to listen to it, hands down one of the best Hip Hop beat and sample
same!!
2001 at its best. Never forget the joy this jam brought me
Yo, the jam was fly, oh my now it's over
My batch of pals cut so Tajai must catch a
Taxicab, dag nab why'd they leave me
Stuck in the late night alley, Cali's
Not so hot that everyone should be sweating
Yet nobody's smiling plus crews are piling
Staring, thinking what they'd look like wearing
My gear, I sighed when the yellow cab neared
He sped up cos dreads made him think I'd vic him
Now I gotta dodge thugs like I'm playing chicken
An Englishman, an Irishman
Five or ten Caucasians passed me in their taxis
Oh no such luck I'm gonna get bucked for my apparel
As I seen the black gauge barrel
Just then a fat cab came to my rescue
Damn I'm glad black men drive them cabs too
It seems nowadays cab rides are rather pricely
Especially when the driver goes for self
In spite of the directions that are given
They are driven to cruise backstreets
That treats them to a pricely fare, exactly
What happened to myself when I chose to call a taxi
It pulled up to the curb and I hopped into the backseat
Gave him the destination, said he'd never heard of the place
And I'd have to tell him as we went along, and then placed it in drive
When I said make a left he made a right
Alright, I get it, you wanna make some slight
Detours so you can be sure that you get yours
And when I turn my head you up the bill a little more
I told the cabbie to stop, he didn't think I watched it
Fake reached into my pocket and then jetted like I was Rocket
Ismail his tail light was broken as a token of appreciation
He started chasing but I smoked him
[Phesto]
What? You can't escape me
Mop head, drop dead, deceased
Say your final summons if I catch you
Bet you regret you ever ditched me
Driving, conniving
Guys been robbing me lately
He went up Blake Street
But I'm following, swallowing up steps
He ran to the left, I made a left and crashed
Into a rose bush, my nose crushed on impact
But yo, I'll get him back
I didn't have enough for a car, what a bummer
I had to get a job driving taxis last summer
All the other drivers knew that my car was spectacular
Cause I had a tight, very bright yellow Acura
Piling in 9 or 10 skins at a time, G
Funny how the honeys with the money always find me
Paying their green to see what color my house is
Feeling like Del cause they would sleep on my couches
I'd charge senior citizens extra, cause they never mention
I'd take all the money from they pension
And I'd drive a blind man around for a while
Even if he only had to travel just a mile, with a smile
And don't let your dog off the leash
Cause if he stepped then I would have to squash the beast
And if you didn't have the right change, don't even ask me
Or I would have ran your ass down with my taxi
one of my fav songs... beat is sick!
This song reminds of mike carroll from the emb in the 90's.
qui écoute encore en 2016 ? ce son me met tellement de bonne humeur 😀
trop vrai
One of the dopest samples ever. Too bad it wasn't cleared.
Is that why I can't buy this song anywhere?
yup, the dude who originally wrote it said he, "didn't want his song to be heard that way." super lame.
This was before original artists were making big money off of their sampled tracks. People also still thought rap was a fad and wouldn't last.
Super DOPE! I listen to this like 20 times when I was a kid. Real hip hop!!
@@13lood13ath damn I love this sample and song but that makes me hate the artist who originally wrote the theme for Taxi ..
That sound at the beginning. I had a lot of tapes with that sound. Not sure why it used to happen but its the sound of taking the pause off the record button on a double cassette deck. I think there was a record buffer.
the sound in the beginning is magicc
I miss good hip hop music, why can't there be more main stream groups like them!
What do you mean?
There's a video of SOM performing this live in 2013! It needs some views ppl its dope
And you thought Mardi Gras was the Bob James joint. WRONG! Souls fa-lipped it on this jizoint! What a stone cold classic. I heard Bob James retired from music when he heard this and phoned Phesto's mom and said he was on her bozack til infinity. He called 93 times. 93 times homie! That's what 93 til infinity is about. Listen to the lyrics.
I can't stop thinking about Danny devito every time I listen to dis lol🤔
This is one of the greatest songs and they don’t have it on iTunes it’s a shame

Very nice song :)

We out here uk brother 🤙
UK has one of the best underground music scenes on the entire planet, just gotta dig a bit deeper my man.
glad ppl like you keeping it alive
Still listening in 2022 🎉
Takes me back to 2008/2009
Origin of the tune for the beat: Angela by Bob James
Found out a few years ago that "Angela" was from "Bob James"😁I used to watch "Taxi" when I was a kid but had no clue who "Bob James" was at that time.
I always loved this song they need to come back and do the uber/lyft remix for 2016
thematic reasons for a remix? ok, i won't knock it. still prolly won't listen.
They would never sell out though. Some things are too good to be "true" for most average people
Souls of mischief forever
Taxi intro.
Was never officially released on an album
First time hearing this, its jazzy and hip for me.
My uncle steez brought me here

Listening to this in 2016. When Hip Hop was still good and you could tell what they were saying. Now it's all mumbling about being up in the club and other meaningless crap and the backtrack has to make up for the shitty artist's mumbling.
