@@Vesicamusicatx Naw, PERFECT union of beats and rhymes. THE most perfect hip-hop album ever made. Don't leave out Dom, Casual, Jay Biz and Del for the other monstrous beats on here.
@@craig205 oh yeah Toure is that dude as well. Op's production on Third Eye and Full Circle is MEAN. Hell, the beats he did on No Man's Land was ridiculous.

Imo they and BTNH are the best hip hop group of all time,BTNH edges but only just, so unfortunate they never blew up like imo they should have with their incredible talent
Tribe and Souls are the two best groups in hip-hop for me. I like the jazz and upright bass and wordsmithery. Staccato verbiage and pleasing mouth-sounds.
So proud to own this album and Midnight Marauders. 😊 I fucking freaked when I saw that the album sleeve for Marauders had SOM along with Del tha Funkee Homosapien on it.
@@kintarricrawford4976 Definitely. Classic. Souls and Tribe have the jazz. Wu-Tang and Nas have the rhymes, Pac has the revolutionary power. There are tons of 90's greats. Sadly less greats in the 2020's by far, but some of the 90's greats are still touring. The Pharcyde are playing tonight in my city. My back is busted up but I might have to head down there.
Lyrical killers. And they still barely got airplay. This is why i got love for the Independent Underground Artists. Sorry fellas but the Suckas won. Keep pushing.
It was an underground style of hip hop , and yea they were on a major label but still didn't get commercial radio airplay. A few songs were definitely in heavy rotation on rap city and yo though
As an East Coast cat growing up, we never really thought of the West Coast as lyrical but this album f*cked East Coast heads all the way up!!! Like this group CHANGED EVERYTHING!!! After this album we were checking for everything moving off of the Left Coast. I discovered Freestyle Fellowship, Saafir The Saucee Nomad, The Alcoholics(The Liks), The Pharycyde and so many other dope West Coast groups. I always listened to the West Coast groups like ATL, CPO, Mac Dre, Mac Mall, Spice 1, DJ Quik, Cube, Suga Free etc.... but we didn't really consider it as Hip Hop, we called it G-Funk or Rap.
My brother, u are describing it to a tee. I heard this joint and '93 till Infinity in 1993 and was bbn blown away when I found out they was from Oakland. You right, we only gave props to NYC rappers as far as lyrics. This joint opened me up. Production-wise, I knew NYC wasn't the only ones who could hold it down. Dress and Quick was already proving that but when we talk lyrics, I think Snoop might've been the only one (for me) because he had that unique flow. Personally, I never gravitated to 2Pac. I never did ...that's just me.
@@seanwright8786 I never gravitated to Pac either because I always thought he was kinda overrated but I kinda think Dre 3 Stacks is overrated too. Not dissing them but I came up on lyrical GIANTS like KRS, Craig G, Nas, Jay, Rakim, Big, Kool G Rap, Chuck D etc so my standards are a little different.
30 years ago I was 20. Bumping this all over Chicago. You bros Del, and Casual are rap Gods. Thanks for that first album its a classic. 93 Til Infinity
True after I.heard Art of War album in.97, rap began a not so immediate but steady decline. Back then.it.was more about delivery and lyricism, now it's just about flamboyance mostly.
I got this album for Christmas a walkmen, tripple fat goose and red & black lumberjack standing the snow bumping infront of the crib the 90's were dope💯💯💯

Man it would be impossible for him to not know souls of mischief and hiero. The song "93 til infinity" is a certified classic , (along w the album) and got mad rotation on rap city and yo back then. Any real hip hop head, especially any m.c.'s in any kind of freestyle/ battle scene was aware of them, and most were fans. Not just that, but the way they put together their syllables was no doubt a significant influence on him
As much respect of those hiphop artist where lyrics were the tone of our ears to listen what they had to stay. Free lifestyle, conquering obstacles. Real talk..." hiphop is not dead..its alive underground" @noymous..
check out Eminem dissing Souls in this old freestyle ... when I heard he shouted them out I remembered catching this a few years ago. Thought it was pretty crazy and disrespectful at the time. At least he's showing respect now though I guess . 13 : 42 - mocks SOM and "93 til" lyrics, followed by a couple dis bars ruclips.net/video/48vK0u6XP8s/видео.html
This song is epic a straight up classic this whole album is more than just 93 til… they came off on this joint that A-Plus verse mad underrated he killed this jawn 🔥🔥🔥
The chords in this sample are so dark yet beautiful.. Easily one of my fav instrumentals of all time. I get straight up lost in this shit. It's akin to Mic Geronimo's Masta IC. ...and don't get me started with the lyrics LOL! They MURDERED this shit.
Thank You.....this was the soundtrack to my freshman year of High School........Souls Of Mischief ruled and maintained a huge part of my childhood/tweenhood/pre-adulthood".
I loved this video cuz when they first came out it was hard to distinguish them from one another, since they all flowed a like some what. So with them spitting their verses in their own rooms, you can get to know who they were and their personalities. This was their third video, so it kinda got us to see each member personally. Clever
They all have distinctive voices though.on the other hand I got confused by some of the dudes from pharcyde.they sounded alike to me.not knocking them.they are dope
I wish I could have gotten an autographed signed T-shirt when I was at there anniversary. Been listening since I was 13 and will continue to listen till I'm 100!!

Still listening to this classic Souls of Mischief album in 2024!!!.. ❤
Always!
That 3 eyed face logo should be just as iconic as the WuTang's
Yeah I said it

It is.
I'm wearing my Hiero sweatshirt right now as I'm typing this.
Absolutely
I wish A-Plus would of got more recognition for the beats he did on this album. Some of the best of all time
Plee made all the classics. genius.
The beats are solid not the best.
The poetry is the best

My favorite hip-hop group! Also love A Tribe Called Quest.
I am in my 40 's this was so dope then and is still dope
Same here G
Man I am still rocking this track hard.
Are you my dad
Souls of Mischief and Pharcyde lowkey set the bar for mic skills in hip hop
did you know they did an album together
@@craig205 The Almyghty Myghty Pythons!!
They did yes, but they weren't alone
Huh
Abso-mf'n-lutely! 💯
"I betcha be leaving up on a stretcher b."

0:51 Phesto eats this track up with some slammin wordplay!
my favorite verse on this song. he MERKED that shit.
Over EVERY overones head on the whole album
@@therealliveguy
WORD
Phesto's Verse Bodied this track. 🎧 ⚰🎶
Him and doom
Their flow is ahead of their time

phesto went in a zone on his verse godamn his wordplay was insane.
Lyrical killers. And they still barely got airplay. This is why i got love for the Independent Underground Artists. Sorry fellas but the Suckas won. Keep pushing.
keep in mind they were signed to Jive then...As was the entire city of Oakland lol. SO this wasn't "underground"
underground for life
Yea I wouldn't call them underground really haha
It was an underground style of hip hop , and yea they were on a major label but still didn't get commercial radio airplay.
A few songs were definitely in heavy rotation on rap city and yo though
The 1st album got much love I’m from out East. But you have to remember it was golden era it’s was TONS of heat out there
One of their best tracks honestly
goddamn phesto! dude ripped this track harder than pictures of an ex after a break-up
😂😂damn bro
hahahaha god damn, thats a fact
Best Comment EVER!!! I got to jack you for that one, bruh. Saw the Souls live in L.A. at Glam Slam (Prince’s) Club in 1993! Yes, they ripped it!
Clicked faster than a lesbian watching the movie Showgirls after her date stood her up.
Ouch. If you're strong you'll keep em tho gotta man up
Wanna hear a joke???....I'm you 😂😂😂
huge heph love that line too - lol
this whole album is 🔥
Listened to the whole thing on my lunch break today. ❤️
End to end perfection
Tajai killed this
I miss this era so much. S.O.M. should be way bigger. Amazing music. 🖤🖤🇯🇲🇯🇲💥💥
What's the Jamaican flag for? This shit is pure black American.
@@americasmaker A Plus background is Jamaican. He says it in the song 😆
@@americasmakerwhole flag in the background.
@@americasmakerOkay, MAGA. Dude literally said he was Jamaican. Same with a guy named…

@@scorpioholic777 This is black American music, not Jamaican.
it's still amazing to me the vocabulary, wordplay and flow these kids had at that age and how effortless they made it all seem.
Phesto man... he had some phenomenal unique fire flows on this album!
Im 52, and Til this day, Festo’s flow, and verse on here is in my top 3 of all time!
That's that SP 1200 vibe 😎🎶🎧
Yo phesto spit one of the illest 30 sec.verse of all time, it took me almost a year to spit along & memorize his verse without messin up
Man. I don't know how you did that shit! LOL
+Kev San Agreed to the fullest
Kev San Opio's verse in Make Your Mind Up is dope too!
That’s what happens when you take time off to never rhyme soft.
Back when you actually needed - oh I dunno - skills to be a rapper, now anyone with a voice is an overnight success story 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

87-97 Hip Hop greatest most innovative musical era EVER!
True after I.heard Art of War album in.97, rap began a not so immediate but steady decline. Back then.it.was more about delivery and lyricism, now it's just about flamboyance mostly.
When rappers had lyrical skills and unique flows!!
Souls of Mischief are legends!
Phesto was magnificent
one of the best songs of the entire 1990s. Facts.
I got this album for Christmas a walkmen, tripple fat goose and red & black lumberjack standing the snow bumping infront of the crib the 90's were dope💯💯💯
Best times
Nice Xmas, dude
I love the way 90s was so intellectually ...on the word play
Phesto: Ponder on this, I swallowed the spliff with locution
Encompassing the pompous means, when I escalate my tool
Shins get split, men get spindled, swiveled, pivoted
By my riveting centrifuge
I'm swindling crews, bringing a fist to bruise
Pulverizing skulls annihilating trifling dunces
Pulling rifle pumps to stifle punks when my knifes'll
Split your spleen hit you clean in the kisser
When I twist a riddle I'm breakin' the brittle
And flimsy with my whimsy
Puns and phrases I stun in phases
Terrorize 'em, paralyze 'em paraplegic, when I leave 'em
Mindless, spineless, vertebrate-less with meningitis
I earn 'em swift and minus a life with my nine
Some of the sickest lyrics in hip history.
WOW ...thanks for this yo
Yes,it's brutal as hell lol
so glad you caught that, lol. since I was a kid, I knew it was fire, but couldn't catch all that! now that you broke it down....WOW! PHESTO D!
finally got the verse phesto went the fuck in on this track he out shined lyrically dam that verse is too hard yo.
Pacific Chief that verse is better then every hip hop record today
BRUH!!!! This whole album was a straight classic! Still listening in 2020!
Let’s go
2022
Em got me here..this is hip hop and Em knows his artists..90s hiphop non stop lyrical miracles
Man it would be impossible for him to not know souls of mischief and hiero. The song "93 til infinity" is a certified classic , (along w the album) and got mad rotation on rap city and yo back then.

Real talk..." hiphop is not dead..its alive underground" @noymous..
OAKLAND'S FINEST!!!!
Even better in 2023. Don't judge souls jus on 93' til.......that's the mainstream hit. Respects from LA
All the way in South Africa Souls of mischief was one of the nicest🔥🔥🔥
This shit is fucking awesome. Why cant rap/hip-hop still be like this?
+Iamkallum Look around it's out there. Clear soul forces for one.
This video & song will never seem dated and pass as if it came up today.
SouthFloridaLove definitely
Remember the 90's was label the golden era for HIPHOP a reason. There will never be anything like it.
Back when rappers were actually ARTISTS. The effort and creativity was there.
I love jazz rap!
Fuckin' definitely. I'm so glad it's coming back-- with Nehru and Kendrick's new album for example....
gawd i miss this style of hip hop
jazz rap is rap that talks about jazz. this isnt jazz rap, its jazz inspired rap
NoGGiN I think he was talking about the beat
Gang Starr are the BEST for Hip Hop Jazz :D
Ya'll fuckin' up........this should have been had over a million views.
exactly
Who was here before AND after Em tweeted their lyrics, we the real mvp's.
Bob Bobs which lyric he tweet
Bought to pull up to the best B side ever "Eye Examination" by Del. Hiero was the crew before Em shouted them out.
check out Eminem dissing Souls in this old freestyle ... when I heard he shouted them out I remembered catching this a few years ago. Thought it was pretty crazy and disrespectful at the time. At least he's showing respect now though I guess .

0:51-1:22 AMAZING!
Wowwww 3rd dude really do sound like early Andre 3k too
HATE is a sign of ENVY definitely influenced
I remember when outkast came out I was saying they sounded like the hiero of the south , or a kinda gangster-ish version of hiero
"Wanna hear a joke: I'm you" has to be one of the hardest 1 to 4 bar lines in the history of rap.
I've been quoting those bars for 27 years now.
I could listen to this all day
Same❤
When I hear this song,it reminds me of Ancient Egypt.
This song is epic a straight up classic this whole album is more than just 93 til… they came off on this joint that A-Plus verse mad underrated he killed this jawn 🔥🔥🔥
As a college DJ I played B side joints and this and wrong side of the tracks (artifacts) were my go to
The chords in this sample are so dark yet beautiful..
Easily one of my fav instrumentals of all time. I get straight up lost in this shit. It's akin to Mic Geronimo's Masta IC.

This song deserves way more views it sad that people don't know about the souls of mischief
This is one of those joints that makes you wanna write rhymes yo
Vibe like Native Tongues... Yezzzzzzzz I’m in!!!
Opio was so damn raw good lord he used to have me open back when I was in high school.
He still is raw
Aplus wordplay on this track was the sickest!
Oh man these guys wow, one after the other wow
Track is toooo real
One of the illest albums ever for sure
How does someone even come up with lyrics like this its insanity its pure genius
I play songs like this repeatedly. I'm talking heavy rotation.
August Knight I’m in Heavy Rotation Now! Song Kills
As you should.
I play all dey albums on row ton rotation!
Always. Underground hip hop is the only real shit to listen to
Andre 3000 talking to Eminem about real rap brought me here (and now to play my copy of the album)
Phesto really was spitting!!!! Not taking anything from the rest of the crew!! Definition of a Supergroup!!
Not really a supergroup as they were long time friends before they became a group
@@craig205 where r u from n what is ur definition of a supergroup??
@@macsauce3722 a supergroup to me are already popular rappers/producers teaming up to make a supergroup type album, like deltron 3030
This video is beyond ICONIC 🌟, the vibe and the Swag of their threads represent an era of Hip Hop when Abstract and Street Element was one💯 #Souls👑
Phesto overkilled his verse ahead of time lyrically.
I remember when everyone saw this vid for the first time back then and was like "OH SHIT....OPIO CUT HIS DREADS" haha
I’m still thinking that rn
Kats were like "Who dis"? In the whip. 90's bby. 🔥
Going forward, when a person Googles "Real Hip-Hop," this video should come up as the first item in the search results.
One of my favourites 💯. "wanna hear a joke I'm you" 😂😂. That line always gets me
I loved this video cuz when they first came out it was hard to distinguish them from one another, since they all flowed a like some what. So with them spitting their verses in their own rooms, you can get to know who they were and their personalities. This was their third video, so it kinda got us to see each member personally. Clever
They all have distinctive voices though.on the other hand I got confused by some of the dudes from pharcyde.they sounded alike to me.not knocking them.they are dope
Miss this group. East C. Loving west C. Music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵. They were a breath of fresh sounds.
“Wanna hear a joke? I’mmmmm you...”
Straight West Coast Hip Hop!
2021, still pumpin' this
Amazing flows
Ahhhh. Hip hop. How I’ve missed you!
This is what i grew up on. Beats, sick rhymes. Long live Ol' Skool.
I get the props.. you get the buttocks.. i know my what nots, stopping flows like bloodclots! BRAP!!
That last line is so ill.
U have rewind phesto verse at least 1000 times to get satisfaction its brillant.
They are Lyrical masters
Souls, Tribe , PHARCYDE,DELA SOUL
Old school hip-hop souls of mischief never no more music
HELLLLLLL YEAHHHH BOOOOOII. HAVEN'T HEARD THIS JOINT IN YEARS. CLASSIC TIL INFINITY..

If you listening to this you a real hip hop and weed smoker!! I got to see the entire crew in Philadelphia!
timeless gems
Why is this so unknown ??? this da dopest flow ive heard
This song's been out since 1993, it's been known for 21 years
